The Crown Princess is reborn and returns to subvert the world

As soon as Jixiang finished speaking these words of empathy, Cui Hao finally couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears in the imperial study.

Eunuch Guo was afraid that his noise would pollute the ears of the Queen and the Emperor, so he quickly stepped forward and scolded, "Master Cui, this is the Imperial Study where the Emperor summons ministers. How can you cry and wail at will? Shut up!"

Eunuch Guo's voice was so cold that Cui Hao was frightened. He immediately realized his situation and quickly shut up, then kowtowed pitifully to Jixiang and Tian Muyu again.

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please forgive me. I, I, I just couldn't help myself."

"Forget it, it's okay to cry when you encounter such a tragic thing." Jixiang even comforted her tolerantly, "The emperor and I are not those who cannot tolerate others. Just don't cry anymore in the future."

“Yes, yes, from now on…” Cui Hao was about to wipe away his tears with gratitude, but thinking of Eunuch Guo’s scolding just now, he had to control his sad tears in his eyes, not daring to let even a single drop fall.

"Since Lord Cui has told you everything that happened to you, I'm afraid you won't be able to raise the 400,000 taels of silver and a thousand war horses." Jixiang originally wanted him to say something, but when he thought about how Tian Muqiong had embezzled all his things, he felt a little painful.

"No, no, I can still take out the money. But I'm in the Dali Temple and can't go out. I can only ask that guard Pang to help..."

"I don't think Guard Pang will spend that money for you." Now Tian Muyu also felt that Tian Muqiong brought Cui Hao to the capital just to let him die, and had no intention of giving him any chance to live.

"I still have money!" Cui Hao said anxiously.

Jixiang was surprised, "How many more do you have?!"

Tian Muyu coughed hard, reminding Jixiang to be more restrained and not to act like Tian Muqiong. They are now the emperor and queen, and even if they want Cui Hao's wealth, they can't rob him openly.

Jixiang chuckled and immediately understood what Tian Muyu meant.

"What I mean is that if you have enough silver in your control, you can leave the Dali Temple prison on your own. Then, you won't need that guard Pang to help."

"Can this old man really go out?!"

"To be honest with you, the compensation that Princess Linglong and Miss Jiang want is far more than this. The Emperor and I were afraid that the person behind you would not show up, so we deliberately reduced the amount by one zero."

"I didn't expect that even if we said nothing, my Third Brother would not rescue you."

"Hey, Third Brother deliberately handed your people over to us, hoping to gain merit in front of the Emperor to show his loyalty, and then take over the National Defense Army and become a frontier official in the northwest. This is much better than him going to his fiefdom."

"Of course, he may also want to use your National Defense Army to start a rebellion, but this possibility is probably very small. He knows the abilities of the emperor and I, so he probably won't dare to confront us easily. Then there is only one possibility, which is to take your head as a gift for their reunion as brothers."

Cui Hao sat down on the ground, feeling that his life was hopeless.

Jixiang continued, "However, whether the emperor and I will take your life depends on whether you do something that requires compensation with your life."

"If my compensation can satisfy Princess Linglong and Miss Jiang, can I save my life?!" Cui Hao asked anxiously.

"If..." Jixiang thought about it and hesitated to speak.

"I am willing to exchange my remaining wealth for my freedom!" Cui Hao finally made up his mind. If he really followed the Queen and the Emperor's request, he would never be able to leave the Dali Temple prison.

Not to mention how many people he had killed when he was a eunuch beside the late emperor, even when he left the palace and became a military commander in the northwest, he had killed many people. So, if the emperor and the queen really wanted to investigate, he would have no choice but to die.

"Your Majesty, I am over sixty years old and have no children, so I am willing to give up all my wealth in exchange for not dying in prison." Having said this, he began to feel sad again.

Jixiang became interested, "How much wealth do you have left? Don't worry, after paying compensation to the princess and the others, there will be very little left. If we let you go free, won't the officials make comments?!"

"Old man, old man," Cui Hao hesitated again.

Tian Muyu could no longer bear it, "Come here, take Cui Hao to the Dali Temple prison!"

"In addition to antiques and treasures, I also have five million taels of silver, gold, gold..."

"How much gold?" Jixiang became more interested.

"Five hundred thousand taels of gold."

“Cui Hao, you are indeed a greedy person!” Tian Muyu slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide open, “I’m afraid you have embezzled all the military pay that my Great Saint Dynasty gave to the northwest?! No wonder Tian Muqiong was able to get those soldiers to follow him with just a hundred taels of silver. They have already been exploited by you to the point where their lives are worse than death. Naturally, even a little hope will make them defect!”

“Your Majesty, I…” Cui Hao didn’t dare to defend himself anymore.

"I want all the gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The house to the west of the palace will be left to you. In addition, the emperor will arrange for the chief steward to give you fifty taels of silver every month for your expenses until you die. Are you satisfied with this arrangement, Cui Hao?" Jixiang made a quick decision and looked at Cui Hao coldly.

Cui Hao nodded hurriedly, "I am willing, I am willing! Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Then he kowtowed three times to Jixiang and Tian Muyu.

This is really like, spending a lifetime to make money, but in the end helping others!

Jixiang finally dug out the gold and silver that Cui Hao had mentioned from the basement of Cui Hao's house, and searched out all the antiques, calligraphy and paintings from a secret room of 500 square meters.

With these, she suddenly felt that the treasury was full. If Tian Muqiong really wanted to rebel, the silver in the big tent would be enough.

Therefore, Jixiang arranged for people to send 300,000 silver coins to Princess Linglong and Jiang Peipei respectively, and asked her to convert the 500 war horses into silver coins for them as well.

Jiang Peipei looked at the boxes of silver and was so happy that her mouth almost reached her ears. "Cousin, you are really amazing. You calmed us down without spending so much silver."

"Why, you think it's too much?!"

"No, it's not too much!" Jiang Peipei quickly ran to the box to block it, fearing that Jixiang would turn around and take it away from her. "I still need to keep these as a dowry. If anyone marries me, do you think they will marry a rich woman?!"

Seeing Jiang Peipei's money-obsessed look, Jixiang couldn't help but laugh, "Which young man do you like? Do you want me, your cousin, to help you get married?!"

"No, no, please don't, I can handle this matter myself."

Jixiang was shocked, "So you already have someone you like? Who is it? Do I know him?"

Jiang Peipei quickly dragged Jixiang to the mansion, "Come on, I'll take you to see grandma. I haven't seen you for two days, and grandma has been talking about you every day. My ears are almost callused because of your nagging."

Jixiang then remembered that she came to the Jiang Mansion not only to give Jiang Peipei some money to calm her nerves, but also to check the health of her aunts.

They were all about to give birth, especially my third aunt, Mrs. Lou, who was expecting two babies and was an older pregnant woman, so giving birth would be dangerous, so she couldn't be careless.

"How are your mother, your aunt and your second aunt in health?" Jixiang asked.

When talking about these pregnant women, Jiang Peipei immediately became serious. She held Jixiang's arm tightly and said, "Cousin, when my mother and my aunt and second aunt give birth, could you be with them? Especially my mother, she got pregnant with twins. I was worried just looking at her."

Jixiang nodded, "Don't worry, I will stay with them until they give birth safely."

"Great! I knew you wouldn't ignore them!" Jiang Peipei took Jixiang and went straight to the yard where Old Madam Jiang lived.

"Grandma, grandma, my cousin is here, the Queen is here!"

The two of them walked through the archway and suddenly saw the old lady and her family bowing to greet them, "Old lady, your servant greets the Queen!"
