Chapter 792: Calculation, Prince Xiao trained well

Under Xiao Tianyao’s intentional or unintentional training, Lin Chujiu’s face has thickened to a certain level. No matter how the Emperor and Empress sized her up, Lin Chujiu was like a normal person, sitting there calmly, completely unaffected.

They looked at Lin Chujiu for a long time but didn’t see Lin Chujiu get the slightest a bit embarrassed. The Emperor smiled angrily: “Princess Xiao if you let Prime Minister Lin and Lin Furen know what you said, how sad you must be!”

Whether on the surface or in private, Lin Chujiu’s dowry was quite a lot, and the things were all good, no matter whether they were suitable or not.

Lin Chujiu really shouldn’t say that her dowry was little.

“Ah?” Lin Chujiu raised her head and put on a puzzled look at the right time, “Your Majesty, you want to reward me, why would Prime Minister Lin and Lin Furen will be sad?”

“You think they didn’t give you much dowry, shouldn’t they be sad?” The Emperor knew that Lin Chujiu was pretending to be stupid, so he couldn’t help being even more annoyed.

“Your Majesty, I don’t think they give too much dowry. I just… think it would be better if there is more. After all, no one in this world wouldn’t think to get too much money.” Lin Chujiu looked puzzled and frowned slightly. As if she couldn’t understand what the emperor said.

The Emperor was so angry that his liver hurt, but he couldn’t tell the truth, so he had to patiently say: “You think your dowry is too little, so the reward you want is such vulgar things as gold and silver?” The Emperor didn’t know if Lin Chujiu was so greedy by nature or just pretending to be stupid. However, no matter which one was it, he doesn’t like it.

“It would be even better if the emperor will reward me with some antique calligraphy and paintings. I can keep them for my daughter’s dowry.”

“You want to start saving for your daughter’s dowry this early, Chujiu?” The Empress finally found a chance to interject, and quickly joked.

“Empress, it’s too late, Wangye and I have been married for a year.” Lin Chujiu lowered her head and put on a shy look. As if she was very embarrassed.

Unfortunately, the time was too short, and she didn’t blush, otherwise, it would be more real.

“That’s right, the time since you got married is not short, it’s time to get ready.” The Empress nodded her head, but her eyes fell on Lin Chujiu. She looked at her from head to toe and she smiled silently.

As a person who has experienced it, she was sure that Lin Chujiu was not pregnant. What’s more, Lin Chujiu has never slept with Prince Xiao, but she doesn’t need to tell this thing to the emperor. It was good enough that she knows it herself.

“The Empress also thinks it’s too late for me to prepare now, right? People often say that raising a child is like worrying about 99 years. It’s better to prepare for my daughter’s dowry this early. So I also ask the Empress to look at the face of the unborn niece. Please, say a few nice words for me, and let the emperor give me more rewards.” Lin Chujiu once again “brazenly” asked for rewards, and the emperor was offended by her cheekiness.

He hasn’t even seen the shadow of the child, but she brazenly begged for rewards for the child. Looking at the whole country, only Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao dared to do so!

But…the Emperor glanced at the hourglass in the corner, and sneered: They won’t be able to get this reward today!

The Emperor snorted softly, clenched his fists quietly, concealed the coldness in his heart, and said in a gentle tone: “Princess Xiao’s words are not right. Tianyao has explained all your achievements and faults to you. Why do you need the Empress to help you? You ask for a reward, in my opinion…”

“Not good, it’s not good… Your Majesty, his highness the Crown Prince is not good!” Before the Emperor could finish his words, he was interrupted by the eunuch’s sharp voice, followed by the sound of a eunuch stumbling in. The eunuch knelt on the floor: “Your Majesty, the Crown Prince…”

“Presumptuous!” The emperor roared angrily, interrupting the eunuch: “Someone, take this intruding dog…”

The eunuch shivered for a moment but quickly said: “Your Majesty, something happened to His Highness the Crown Prince. He has been vomiting blood since the morning. The imperial doctor could not diagnose the cause, and there was no way to stop the bleeding. The imperial doctor said that… … His Highness the Crown Prince…”

“What?” The Empress stood up abruptly, breaking the cup in her hand because of too much movement, “What did you say? The crown prince has been vomiting blood?”

As soon as the guard came in, he heard this and immediately froze in place, not daring to step forward.

The Emperor was also taken aback and asked nervously: “What’s going on? Explain clearly!”

“Answering back the Emperor and the Empress, who knows what His Royal Highness had eaten, he began to vomit blood since the morning, and he vomited blood profusely. After a short while, he vomited again all over the bed. This slave quickly invited the imperial physician over, but the imperial physician could not diagnose the cause.” The eunuch was kowtowing on the floor. Although he was terrified, he could speak fluently.

“He vomits blood? Is the crown prince injured or poisoned?” The Empress walked down the steps anxiously, taking three steps at a time. If it wasn’t for the palace maid’s support, she might have fallen to the floor.

The Emperor also stood up anxiously and stepped forward to help the Empress, with a concerned expression on his face.

People who don’t know might think that the Emperor, the Empress, and the Crown Prince were a loving family after seeing this scene.

Both the Emperor and the Empress stood up, and Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu couldn’t sit still. They got up one after the other. The moment they got up, they exchanged a look in tacit understanding.

Although there was no communication in advance, both Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao understood that it was impossible to get the reward today.

However, it was not possible to get it, they will find a way to get it.

With an army of more than 200,000 troops outside the capital, the Emperor would not allocate food and rations. They had to raise food and rations by themselves and to raise food and rations, money was indispensable.

The reward given to Xiao Tianyao by the Emperor this time was worthless. If they don’t find a way to extract some money from the Emperor, they will feel sorry for themselves.

“The imperial doctor said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not poisoned, nor did he have any internal injuries. He couldn’t find the reason why the Crown Prince vomiting blood, nor could find a way to stop the bleeding.”

“There is no poisoning or internal injury, how can you vomit blood well?” The Empress staggered and almost fell to the floor. But when she stood still, she continued to move forward, with red eyes saying: “No, no, I want to see it with my own eyes. I want to see why the crown prince vomits blood when he is healthy.”

“Empress, don’t worry, I will go with you.” The Emperor stepped forward to support the Empress, then walked out eagerly. As if they had forgotten Lin Chujiu and Xiao Tianyao, but… …

When they were about to walk out of the door, the Emperor stopped suddenly, as if suddenly thinking of it. He turned his head to look at Lin Chujiu and said, “I remember Princess Xiao, your medical skills are very extraordinary, let’s go… come with me to see the prince. If you can cure the crown prince, I will not give you any reward.”

After the Emperor finished speaking, he dragged the Empress out, while the palace servants continue walking out without giving Lin Chujiu a chance to refuse.

“Puff…” Lin Chujiu laughed, then turned to look at Xiao Tianyao.

Xiao Tianyao looked away in embarrassment: “Go, as long as you don’t get hurt.”

What Xiao Tianyao said was that Lin Chujiu can play whatever she wants, as long as she doesn’t get hurt… …
