Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 168
In fact, the empress didn't dare to gamble with her own life.

Chen Yi actually has other criteria for judging, so if she changes to another one, she can save her own life and she will not lose anything.

"Your Majesty should be able to imagine that if Chen Xianshi lied to His Majesty, he would definitely think of a way to escape. This time, Chen Xianshi wants to pick the thousand-year-old snow lotus in person. Doesn't Your Majesty doubt something?"

The empress stood up with a bang, her eyes wide open.

A string in my heart was tensed instantly, my heart was beating rapidly, and my mind was blank.

The empress felt that she seemed to have caught something, but she couldn't believe it, and tried her best to calm herself down, not to be bewitched or led by the nose by what Chen Yi said.

The empress sat back slowly, withdrew all expressions, and looked at Chen Yi coldly with a serious face.

"Chen Shilang, what exactly you want to say, just say it directly, and what the judging criteria are, just say it, don't beat around the bush anymore."

Chen Yi smiled and nodded.

"I guess, Immortal Master Chen should take action this time to prepare for his own future, so he has to go out in person. The bet is this thousand-year trip to the snow lotus. Whether Master Chen has two hearts, if so, I won. If No, Your Majesty wins."

The empress didn't speak for a moment.

The empress didn't think about it, the bet turned out to be this!
Before this, the empress never thought that Master Chen would deceive her, so she naturally believed in Master Chen.

The empress just saw Chen Yi's confident appearance, and she felt a little bit at ease, but all this was still not enough to block the temptation behind her back. Thinking about the millions of taels of silver, she could use it casually.

Chen Yi will help him get more money in the future, the empress is very excited.

"Okay! I'll bet with you."

Hearing these words, Chen Yi was completely relieved. Before Chen Yi came, he was very worried that the Empress would stop herself and blindly favor Master Chen.

That's why he didn't pad so much before, and guided the empress step by step.

In the end, let the empress make this bet with herself.

"Your Majesty! There is no proof for what you say, let's make a written proof."

When the empress heard this, she felt that it was feasible. Anyway, she was not worried that Chen Yi would break the contract, and she would not dare to judge him. With this evidence, according to Chen Yi's character, she would not go back on his word.

Chen Yi needed this certificate mainly because the money was kept in private and could not be put on the table, so a written certificate was made to stabilize the empress' heart.

Another reason was that the Empress would not be able to do it in the end. After all, the Alchemy Pavilion had existed for so long. If the Empress hadn't made up her mind to eradicate it, how could Chen Yi eradicate it.

Naturally, it would be nice to have a certificate.

The big deal is that the fish will die and the net will be broken, and it will be put on the table. However, Chen Yi guesses that the empress can't afford to lose this person.

The Empress quickly finished writing. The Empress and Chen Yi signed their names respectively. The Empress stamped her seal to show her identity, and Chen Yi also took out her own stamp and stamped it on.

There were two copies, one for each person, and Chen Yi accepted the paper with satisfaction: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."

The empress nodded and agreed directly.

"Your Majesty, I feel that this matter needs to be investigated by someone personally. I have no one available, and in order to avoid suspicion, I think it is best for Your Majesty to send someone to investigate this matter. What do you think?"

The Empress thought for a while and nodded. The Empress was also worried that Chen Yi would make some small moves in private in order to win. The Empress sent her own people to investigate, and they would not deceive her, so the Empress did not refuse.

"Okay, this is left to the widow."

After the empress finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. The whole thing was to follow Chen Yi's thinking, and she directly agreed to let Chen Xianshi pick the thousand-year-old snow lotus.

The empress didn't want to take it from the imperial bank, because there wasn't much there.

The empress looked at Chen Yi standing below, had an idea in her mind, and smiled slightly, very kindly.

"Aiqing, you see, we have made a bet, but this..."

Chen Yi directly took out a stack of banknotes from his arms, stepped forward two steps, and put them on the table in front of the empress. Chen Yi's actions successfully prevented the empress from speaking next.

"Your Majesty, this is a 1 tael silver note, plus the 1 taels I gave to your majesty before, a total of 2 taels, which is just enough silver for Chen Xianshi to pick the thousand-year-old snow lotus this time. Since it is a bet, how can I not let the bet go ahead? Go down, your Majesty, feel free to use it."

Anyway, it's all yours, you don't care about being used by a liar like Chen Xianshi, and Chen Yi doesn't care much more, not to mention being reluctant to bear children, not being caught by wolves, and when Chen Xianshi shows his flaws, the empress will not spare Chen Xianshi.

The money will come back at that time, and even some of the money from the previous treasury can be returned.

It's unrealistic to come back all of them, Chen Yi doesn't have such high demands.

The empress looked at the banknote in front of her, and was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, she didn't ask for it, and Chen Yi obediently sent it over. It was like red rain in the sky, and the sun came out from the west.

If you don't take a bastard if you have money, the Empress naturally accepts it very unceremoniously.

It's just that I didn't feel too much joy in my heart. The pocket money I just got was about to be given to Chen Xianshi. The Empress suddenly felt a little distressed. Seeing Chen Yi being so forthright, the Empress became more active.

Can I fight for it and ask Chen Yi to take out another 1 taels!

Although Chen Yi didn't know what the empress was thinking now, he didn't want the empress to always worry about his money, which was used on the blade to save lives.

Chen Yi said directly: "Your Majesty, I feel that I don't intend to use the remaining silver easily. After all, these are the secret reserves of our great military country. They are of great use at critical moments and cannot be wasted casually. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The empress opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Chen Yi said so. The empress suddenly felt that she could not open her mouth.

Forget it, let it be!

The empress stopped worrying and nodded.

Chen Yi saw that the matter was almost resolved, so he left with good eyesight.

After Chen Yi left, the empress announced Chen Xianshi into the palace, and then gave Chen Xianshi 2 taels of silver notes, and explained that it was her own private money, and the last bit was here.

So this time Master Chen can only succeed, not fail.

Immediately Chen Xianshi bowed down and promised that he would definitely bring back the thousand-year-old snow lotus, save as much as he could, and never let down the trust of the Empress.

The empress was very satisfied with Chen Xianshi's attitude, and asked Chen Xianshi to leave as soon as possible, the sooner the better, Chen Xianshi expressed his understanding and planned to leave the day after tomorrow, the empress didn't say anything more, just asked Chen Xianshi to keep the money this time secret, so as not to cause trouble.

After Chen Xianshi promised, he withdrew.

As soon as Master Chen went out, the Empress called for the hidden guards and sent three people to follow Master Chen secretly. Two were monitoring, and the other was passing information in rotation. No details must be missed.
