Qiao Linxi looked up at the person behind the emperor and asked the emperor, "Do you think it's true or false?"

Her jade pendant was placed next to Gu Changfeng to heal his injuries, and it is now also on Gu Changfeng.

The question was thrown in front of the emperor. He glanced at Qiao Linxi, then turned his head and looked behind him, asking, "What does Steward Gu think?"

Gu Changfeng has now changed into eunuch's clothes, but there is no sense of incongruity. His face makes the eunuch's clothes look like a unique style.

Gu Changfeng took out Qiao Linxi's jade pendant from his arms and placed it on the desk, then asked, "Your Majesty, do you think it's real or fake?"

A question is tossed back and forth like a ball.

The emperor looked at the dragon-shaped jade pendant and was secretly surprised. It turned out that this was the jade pendant that could transform into a dragon. It was really lifelike. He had no doubt that the jade pendant would turn into a dragon in the next moment.

"This jade pendant is so exquisitely crafted, lifelike, and full of spiritual energy. Miss Qiao is indeed a person with great luck."

The emperor pushed the jade pendant in front of Qiao Linxi, and his words also showed that he did not believe that the jade pendant could turn into a dragon. He was the only real dragon in the world and would not accept any rebuttal.

Qiao Linxi took the jade pendant and hung it around her waist again, saying, "My greatest fortune is that I was born in the Kingdom of Dai Viet and have the Emperor's blessing."

At first, Qiao Linxi was worried that the emperor would attack her, but now it seems that the emperor is not angry.

"Girl, you are really good at talking."

The emperor laughed out loud at Qiao Linxi's words. This little girl didn't look like she grew up in the countryside.

The emperor naturally knew about Qiao Linxi's affairs. After Xiao Ji came back, he told him everything about Lan Qingcheng, including the matter of the grave.

Therefore, the emperor not only knew that Qiao Linxi had a dragon-shaped jade pendant and countless gold and silver, but also knew that she was doing business and her business was growing.

He felt that the woman in front of him was not an ordinary person, so he did not want to punish her. It would be better to make friends with her, which might help the destiny of Dai Viet.

"Your Majesty, you are too kind. I am just a country girl."

After saying that, Qiao Linxi looked around and asked, "Your Majesty, why can't I see the Sixth Prince?"

"What do you want to see him for?"

Qiao Linxi said, "Last year in Lanqing City, the Sixth Prince left some things here with me."

The emperor felt warm in his heart. What Qiao Linxi said meant that she would return the gold and silver that Xiao Ji mentioned to Xiao Ji.

Return? Qiao Linxi laughed inwardly. How did this thing become Xiao Ji's?

She had accidentally fallen into the tomb and opened it. She had also removed the restrictions on the gold and silver. Besides, she had also brought the gold and silver out of the tomb, so how could they have become Xiao Ji's?

But Qiao Linxi knew that it was a crime to possess a treasure. If he didn't hand over so much gold and silver, it would definitely bring him trouble.

The emperor turned around and asked Gu Changfeng: "Where is the Sixth Prince?"

Gu Changfeng bent down and said, "The Sixth Prince is waiting outside."

The moment Qiao Linxi entered the palace, Xiao Ji got the news and hurried to the outside of the imperial study, but he did not dare to enter without the emperor's summons.

Not long after, Xiao Ji, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked in following Gu Changfeng.

After coming in, he saluted the emperor politely.

"Miss Qiao said she brought your things."

The emperor spoke, and Xiao Ji looked at Qiao Linxi and said, "Miss Qiao, long time no see."

Qiao Linxi smiled slightly and replied: "Long time no see."

Then, Qiao Linxi looked at the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for asking, is the treasury of Dai Viet big?"

Seeing that the emperor's expression was about to change, Qiao Linxi quickly said, "I am just worried that if the national treasury is not big, I am afraid it will not be able to accommodate it."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Linxi. Is this girl really willing to hand over all that gold and silver?

To be honest, if it were him, he might not hand it all over. With such a huge sum of money in hand, would he still worry about not having a place to stand in this world?

Then he looked at Xiao Ji again, and Xiao Ji nodded. The emperor then laughed and said, "You are so brave, girl. Aren't you afraid that I will punish you?"

"I guess that the emperor might like what I have more than punishing me."

Money, who doesn’t like it?

"She is indeed Zijin's daughter, she is courageous and smart."

The emperor laughed heartily, and it was obvious that he was in a good mood.

Afterwards, the emperor took the lead and took Qiao Linxi and Xiao Ji to the heavily guarded treasury.

After leaving the imperial study, Qiao Linxi saw a few people she didn't recognize.

"Father..."

The person in the lead was wearing a bright yellow costume with a pattern of a dragon, a four-clawed dragon. This was the prince's costume.

"Yes." The emperor waved his hand and then got on the sedan chair.

It can be seen that the prince and Xiao Ji are not from the same mother, and they do not look very similar.

He glanced at Qiao Linxi and asked, "This is Miss Qiao, the granddaughter of Master Qiao, right?"

Before Qiao Linxi could reply, the emperor, who was riding on the sedan chair, hummed.

As early as when the emperor was telling the story in the court, Qiao Linxi's reputation had already spread in the capital.

Everyone in the capital knows that Master Qiao has a granddaughter who wears a jade pendant that is the product of a real dragon.

It is August now and the weather is not cold, so Qiao Linxi's clothes are thin, and the jade pendant is hanging brightly around her waist.

The dragon-shaped jade pendant seems to have a strong aura that makes people see it at a glance, and it cannot be ignored even if they want to.

The prince looked at the jade pendant on Qiao Linxi's waist and was secretly shocked. The woman who could control a dragon that his father mentioned that day turned out to be the granddaughter of Master Qiao.

What surprised the prince even more was that the emperor was not angry at all even though he saw Miss Qiao wearing the dragon-shaped jade pendant. He even looked very happy.

The prince didn't say anything, but followed the emperor's sedan chair. He didn't ask what they were going to do.

Xiao Ji and Qiao Linxi followed behind. To be honest, Xiao Ji had never been to the treasury.

Although he knew the location of the treasury in the palace, he had never approached it. Although he was a prince, if he approached the treasury without reason, people would impeach him and say that he had evil intentions.

Every emperor is suspicious and always feels that anyone may betray him.

This is what is meant by “There are always evil people who want to harm me.”

The further we walked, the tighter the security became, with almost every step being a guard.

As she approached the warehouse door, Qiao Linxi even breathed lightly, fearing that if she breathed heavily, the guards would think she was trying to do something and draw their swords to kill her.

"emperor……"

The commander of the imperial guards was a little surprised to see the emperor coming, because normally the emperor rarely came to the treasury.

The monthly salaries of the harem and the former officials were all handled by the Ministry of Revenue. He didn't understand why the emperor came here suddenly today.

"Open the door."

The emperor is the emperor, the entire palace belongs to him, and he doesn't need a reason to go wherever he wants.

The commander of the imperial guards did not ask why, but took out the key and opened the door of the storeroom. The emperor got off the sedan chair and walked in with his hands behind his back, and when Qiao Linxi wanted to follow him in, he was stopped.
