My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 228 Don't Make Trouble

Zhao Jingjia stepped down from the carriage and headed straight for Taiming Palace. He opened the door and saw that the scene was exactly the same as in his dream. Zhao Jinghua was actually supporting Zhao Jinfang as they walked around the room.

However, when Zhao Jinfang saw him, he was not furious. Instead, he scolded him with a look of surprise, "How can you be so flustered! You don't even look like a prince at all!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingjia hurriedly bowed and saluted, then panted and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I heard from Eunuch Wang that you were assassinated, and I was worried and lost my manners. I hope your Majesty will not blame me." After saying this, he carefully raised his eyes to look at Zhao Jinghua.

Zhao Jinghua had an intriguing smile on his face at this time, and he didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinfang sighed softly, his tone helpless but also a little relieved, "Your brother is still here, don't you see it?"

When Zhao Jingjia heard this, he was about to bow and salute, but Zhao Jinghua raised his hand to stop him. "Father, I am just too worried about you and too busy explaining to you. Besides, etiquette is just for others to see. There are no outsiders here." After saying this, he gave Zhao Jingjia a seemingly gentle smile, but there was no smile in his eyes, and even a little cold, which made Zhao Jingjia shudder, and he could only nod yes repeatedly.

"Father is fine. I summoned you two brothers here today to ask you why you spoke rudely to your brother, but... I didn't expect this to happen."

Zhao Jingjia breathed a sigh of relief and immediately thought of a pretext. Then he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "This... since you asked, please forgive me for being so bold and straightforward. I hope that your Majesty will not blame me then."

Zhao Jinfang frowned and said in a serious tone, "You can say whatever you want."

After saying this, Zhao Jingjia gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind before speaking, "Your son mistakenly thought that your royal brother had faked his death to escape, and yesterday your royal brother suddenly showed up and asked for the regent position. Your son was thinking that if your royal brother wanted the throne, why did he fake his death to escape and give up the position of crown prince to someone else? That's why I said some disrespectful words to your royal brother out of anger." At this point, Zhao Jingjia observed Zhao Jinfang's expression and spoke again, "After the morning court today, your royal brother and your son talked a lot, and your son realized that I shouldn't be so willful and reckless."

Zhao Jinfang nodded with great satisfaction after hearing this and said, "It is a great pleasure for your father to see you two brothers like this."

At the same time, Wan Sutong had returned to the Regent's Palace. She was lying on the couch with her back against Zhao Hongyu's arms. She couldn't help but gasp at the scene of loving fathers and filial sons, and respectful brothers in the Taiming Palace. Then she turned around and wanted to ask him how he could be so friendly and respectful to Zhao Jingjia, but she found that Zhao Hongyu was looking at her with a kind face.

Wan Sutong frowned slightly with a look of confusion on her face, then turned around and hugged Zhao Hongyu's waist, thinking to herself, "What is this expression? Kind? Are you treating me like a child?"

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and stroked Wan Sutong's smooth and fair cheek. After a moment, Zhao Hongyu smiled tenderly and leaned over to answer Wan Sutong's ear, "Because I think, even if I once owned a vast country, it would not be as good as holding you in my arms at this moment."

Wan Sutong's face turned red when she heard this.

Unexpectedly, 0533 on the side was even more excited than Wan Sutong after hearing Zhao Hongyu's words. It shook its hands and screamed excitedly, "Ahhh! This system heard it too!"

Wan Sutong buried her head in Zhao Hongyu's arms in shame. "When can you come back?"

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and patted Wan Sutong's back. He spoke in a soft tone with a hint of helplessness, "Go to sleep. No need to wait for me. I will be back after the court tomorrow."

Wan Sutong said "oh" and then raised her head and kissed Zhao Hongyu's warm lips.

At the same time, Zhao Jinghua, who was far away in Taiming Palace, also felt the soft and warm touch on his lips. Although it was fleeting, it made Zhao Jinghua's ears red. At this moment, he wanted to fly back to Wan Sutong immediately and fall asleep with Wan Sutong in his arms.

But now he couldn't get away, so he had to lower his eyes and try his best to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and check Zhao Jinfang's pulse.

Zhao Jinfang saw that Zhao Jinghua hadn't spoken for a long time, and was a little panicked for a moment. "But what's wrong with the pulse? Why does your father still feel hot all over?" When Zhao Jinfang was about to look up, Zhao Jinghua lowered his head slightly and retracted his hand. The next moment, his hair that was scattered behind him slid to both sides, covering his ears that were red as if they could drip blood. "No, it's just that the medicinal properties of the deer blood haven't dissipated yet."

Zhao Jinfang heard this and said in disbelief, "Father has been walking around in this room for half an hour. Do you still need to move?"

Zhao Jingjia stood by the window at this time, frowning slightly and said, "Father is sweating profusely, can't we try another method?"

After hearing this, Zhao Jinfang looked at Zhao Jinghua with expectation, "Yes, Jinghua, is there no other way?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled with a hint of helplessness in his tone, "Well, it's your son who is making things difficult for you." He then said to Eunuch Yin outside the door, "Present it."

Eunuch Yin answered "yes" outside the door, and then walked in carrying a pure silver tray with more than a dozen bright red books on it.

Before Zhao Jinfang could react to the scene in front of him, Zhao Jinghua bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

Then he turned his head slightly to look at Zhao Jingjia, signaling him to leave with him.

At this time, Eunuch Yin walked up to Zhao Jin, bent down, and raised the tray above his head. "Your Majesty, this is the list of names in each palace, but according to the rules, today we should go to the Imperial Concubine's place."

Zhao Jinfang's eyes widened when he heard this. How could he not understand what Zhao Jinghua's method was? He immediately stopped Zhao Jinghua who was about to walk out the door and said, "No need! Just help me walk around in the Imperial Garden." After saying that, he looked at Eunuch Yin and said, "You can leave."

At this moment, Zhao Jinghua's mouth curled up with an imperceptible sneer, and after a moment he turned back to Zhao Jinfang's side.

next day

Wan Sutong stretched lazily and then slowly sat up, looking at the empty bed beside her. Wan Sutong felt a little confused at first, and then a little disappointed.

But the next moment, he heard footsteps outside the door, and soon Zhao Hongyu came in with a wooden basin. When he saw Wan Sutong wake up, he smiled softly and said, "Wake up."

Wan Sutong hummed and rubbed his eyes with his left hand. "Good morning."

Wan Sutong's voice was as soft as a feather, but it made Zhao Hongyu's heart beat like a drum. He handed the wooden basin to Wan Sutong for her to wash.

Wan Sutong was still in a daze at this time, and was about to raise her hand to take the wooden basin from Zhao Hongyu's hand. Just as Wan Sutong placed her hands on the edge of the wooden basin, Zhao Hongyu's light laugh brought her back to her senses.

She raised her head and gave Zhao Hongyu a silly smile, then put her hand into the clear water. Just as Zhao Hongyu was waiting for Wan Sutong's next move, Wan Sutong pulled her hand out and spoke in a very cute voice.

"Snapped"

Just as Zhao Hongyu was confused, Wan Sutong flicked the remaining water drops on her hand onto his face, then stuck out her tongue at Zhao Hongyu and said, "Lululu, let you laugh at me."

Zhao Hongyu was not angry at all at this time, but smiled dotingly. After a moment, he gently coaxed, "Don't make trouble."

Wan Sutong said "oh" and then lowered her head, but she burst into laughter when she held the water in front of her.

0533 At this time, the real body walked out of the space, then yawned and sat down beside Wan Sutong, rubbing his eyes with both hands and asked, "Host, what are you laughing at?"
