My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 262 May You Return Safely

At the same time, Zhao Jingchen in the capital stood outside the Regent's Palace in a black cloak, and after hesitating for a long time, he knocked on the door.

Unexpectedly, Wan Yanzhong's voice came from the courtyard, "I'll go. It's just right that I have to go back home with my wife."

Zhao Jingchen felt a little puzzled when he heard this, and wondered in his heart, "Could it be that the newly appointed regent and the right prime minister are of the same generation?"

Thinking of this, the door opened and Su Qinghui was seen standing behind Wan Yanzhong. The two were stunned when they saw Zhao Jingchen, and then they walked away directly.

Just when Zhao Jingchen was wondering why Wan Yanzhong and his wife didn't salute him, Eunuch Chen had quietly walked up to him and said, "Second Prince, long time no see. You have become much calmer."

Zhao Jingchen asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Eunuch Chen is the regent?"

Eunuch Chen was so amused that he laughed out loud. "Of course it can't be me, please follow me." Then he took Zhao Jingchen to Zhao Jinghua's bedroom.

Zhao Jingchen sighed and was about to speak when Eunuch Chen answered first, "You want to ask why the Prime Minister and his wife didn't bow to you?"

Zhao Jingchen hummed and said, "That's right."

Eunuch Chen sneered and turned his head to look at Zhao Jingchen. "This is all the regent's instruction. You shouldn't have come to see him first. If it gets out that you came to the regent's mansion instead of the palace, His Majesty will know that you are the one who will suffer."

Zhao Jingchen frowned and asked in confusion, "Who is he?"

Eunuch Chen smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know when you enter the house." Then he handed Zhao Jingchen a pill called "An Shen Pill".

Zhao Jingchen took the tranquilizing pill and swallowed it, then asked in confusion, "How shabby do you look? Do you need a tranquilizing pill?"

Eunuch Chen was so angry that he chuckled and then opened the door. "Your Highness, someone is coming."

Zhao Jingchen heard this and looked in the direction of Eunuch Chen. He wanted to see which of his brothers was so capable, but he didn't expect that what he saw was Zhao Jinghua sitting on the soft couch. At this moment, he was holding a bamboo slip in his right hand, wearing a white robe, and his long hair was not tied up. He looked very casual, which was very different from his previous self.

It happened that at this moment, Zhao Jinghua raised his eyes and met Zhao Jingchen's gaze. After a moment, he returned his gaze to the bamboo slips and spoke in a neutral tone, "No need to be polite, sit down."

Just a glance and a word, Zhao Jingchen felt his heart pounding, his hands and feet cold, and cold sweat all over his body. If he hadn't taken the tranquilizer at this moment, he would have fainted.

Seeing that Zhao Jingchen remained silent for a long time, Zhao Jinghua put the bamboo slips aside and looked up at him, "Do you know why the emperor summoned you to the capital?"

Zhao Jingchen shook his head and swallowed his saliva. "I don't know."

Zhao Jinghua hooked his finger at him to signal Zhao Jingchen to come over and sit. Zhao Jingchen was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, he walked to Zhao Jinghua's side and sat down, looking like a child who had made a mistake.

"Royal Brother"

Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly and then picked up the bamboo slips placed aside. "Father wants to attack Yuwen State, but he needs a reason, and you are the victim of this war."

Eunuch Chen poured Zhao Jingchen a cup of hot tea. Zhao Jingchen took the tea and lowered his head slightly. "Is that so? But isn't it enough to just say that the eldest sister betrayed the country?"

Zhao Jinghua unfolded half of the bamboo slips and laughed softly twice. "How can you convince the world that your eldest sister is a traitor and not under house arrest? If that is the case, your eldest sister will not only not be punished, but will become a victim. Don't you know that your father loves his reputation the most?"

Zhao Jingchen frowned and said in a very puzzled tone, "But am I not also a victim?"

Zhao Jinghua turned his head to look at Zhao Jingchen, and after a moment, a trace of pity appeared in his eyes. "You too, but if you die in battle, you will be the brave and incomparable King Chen Gao, and only the court will know that you are a sacrifice."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingchen put the teacup aside, stood up in a hurry and knelt beside Zhao Jinghua's legs. "Brother, I was blinded by the imperial power. Please help me. My daughter has only been born for three years!"

Zhao Jinghua sighed and looked up at Eunuch Chen. After a moment, he lowered his head again and looked at the bamboo slips in his hand. Eunuch Chen immediately understood and stepped forward to help Zhao Jingchen up. "Hurry up!"

As he finished speaking, Zhao Jinghua closed the bamboo slip and handed it to Zhao Jingchen. "If I don't help you, I won't let you into the mansion."

Zhao Jingchen opened the bamboo slips without knowing what was going on. Written on it were the locations of all the secret passages of Zhao State, how to use the secret passage mechanisms, how to repair them after they were damaged, and how to quickly repel the enemy when a large army was approaching. Zhao Jingchen was completely stunned when he saw this. "What...what...is this for?" At this point, he looked up at Zhao Jinghua with surprise in his eyes.

Zhao Jinghua's eyes were dark at this time. When he spoke, his voice was low and without a trace of emotion, "I want you to be a knife at the side of my father."

Zhao Jingchen immediately remembered a sentence after hearing this: "A knife can kill people, but it can also kill oneself." Thinking of this, Zhao Jingchen's pupils suddenly shrank and he could only say "You have changed."

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and then slowly stood up and walked to the desk and stood. "Everyone will change, just like there are no permanent good people in this world, and there are no permanent evil people."

Zhao Jingchen lowered his head silently after hearing this. "Yes... people will change eventually."

Zhao Jinghua looked at an unfinished painting of mountains and rivers on a table not far away and sighed, "May you return safely."

Zhao Jingchen put the bamboo slips into the spiritual sea, then bowed to Zhao Jinghua's back and said, "Thank you for your good wishes." Then he turned and left.

At the same time, several people in the pharmacy were almost collapsed to the ground due to exhaustion. When they heard the leader of Qinggu Sect announce the end of today's competition, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Wan Sutong even held his forehead and sighed, complaining to 0533 in his heart, "Not only did I give them gifts, but I also had to work for them for free. How is this different from paying for hardship?"

0533 He smiled and fanned Wan Sutong with a fan. "Just show the results of your training with Zhao Jinghua. This is how the outer disciples try their best to enter the inner sect. When it comes to the inner sect competition, it should be different."

After hearing this, Wan Sutong questioned Liang Qingzhou with suspicion, and spoke weakly, "Brother, we can't do this tomorrow, right?"

Liang Qingzhou sighed and looked up at the beams. "It will definitely be the same tomorrow, but from now on it will be an inner sect competition. The inner sect disciples know their limits and will stop when they reach a certain point. This has been the case in previous years."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yao and Ji Shuheng walked in. Shen Yao smiled at them, then walked to Gu Yunxiao's side and called him "husband" softly.

Gu Yunxiao immediately stood up as if he had been injected with chicken blood. "Everyone, go first." Then he took Shen Yao's hand and walked away.

Yuwen Songyue also slowly stood up, bowed to the few people, and said "goodbye" and turned to leave. But before leaving, he quietly released a dark blue butterfly from his sleeve.

But Wan Sutong and the other three were so tired that they didn't even want to lift their eyelids, so they didn't notice the butterfly.

Wan Sutong then whispered in Ye Mianwan's ear, "Why do I feel like an adult picking up a child from school?"
