2594 Crying While Holding on to the Emperor’s Thigh…

She was about to go on a rampage. “You mean to say that the vassal prince’s life isn’t worth as much as the things in this compensation list?”

“No, no! I do not mean this!”

“Then what do you mean?”

“Imperial Uncle, I truly did not expect you to be such a miser!”

Everyone: …

Mo Lian didn’t know why those imperial censors all looked over at him.

What were they looking at him for? Wasn’t this the list his wife personally drafted? It was a bit long and there were many items on the list, but his wife was happy!

Anything that made his wife happy, he would be the first to run up with wholehearted support.

The Vassal King of Jianping pointed at himself and stuttered, “I, a miser? Crown Prince Consort, you are actually calling m-me a miser?”

“How are you not a miser? Take the Kang Prince for instance. He is also our uncle, but he did not even need us to say anything and gave us a generous gift during our first meeting! Have you heard of Half-Moon Cliff’s Brocade Villa? As well as five prime shops on Changle Boulevard, you know??”

“How much is this worth!” Qiao Mu smacked the list the Vassal King of Jianping was holding. She peered beside her at Mo Lian.

Mo Lian couldn’t resist bursting into laughter. He knew that this little fellow didn’t want to talk again.

Adhering to the principle that he always took the same view as his wife, the crown prince quickly said, “Imperial Uncle, make no mistake! This is a compensation list! This is to be used for buying Mo Kun’s life. If this crown prince insisted on pursuing the matter, with the statement of confession plus witnesses! Do you think you can save Mo Kun’s life?”

“We only want you to compensate right now! You had better get it straight that you have no grounds for negotiation!”

Everyone: …

The emperor massaged his throbbing temples. “Alright!”

“Your Majesty!!” The emperor had always been looking after the Vassal King of Jianping in the capital all these years. The latter had never suffered such a loss. The Vassal King of Jianping turned around and tearfully rushed over like a puppy to hug the emperor’s thigh. He wailed, “This younger brother does not have this much money to compensate! This younger brother still has to support the old and young ones in the estate!”

The imperial censors watched the Vassal King of Jianping crying dramatically. Their brows kept jerking.

“Your Majesty! Imperial Brother!! I cannot keep living! Imperial Brother, you must save me this time! If you do not save me, all the old and young ones in my estate will be starving on the streets!”

“Shut up!!”

The emperor was getting a terrible headache from this younger brother of his. At last he gave the final word to help this worrisome younger brother pay half of the compensation, finally sending the Vassal King of Jianping away.

After making everyone get lost, the emperor quickly ordered Hu Dequan to shut the doors to his bedchamber. He wasn’t seeing anyone anymore!

It was so freakin’ exasperating!

He attended morning court and didn’t do anything in particular, yet disaster fell from the heavens. He inexplicably ended up paying half the compensation…

On the other end, the old Vassal King of Jianping scrambled back to his estate in a huff like a ball.

He heard the servants report that the vassal prince had finally woken up.

His anger immediately found a place to vent. He furiously ran over to the vassal prince’s room and beat up this son of his without room for objection!

That night, the sons born of concubines as well as their wives passed the night while on edge. They heard tragic screams coming nonstop from the vassal prince’s court!

The Vassal King of Jianping was truly livid this time!

If not for this bastard writing that statement of confession, how would he suffer such a loss and cough up so much money?
