Your Highness Yh Chapter 71 (1/2)

Since she helped humanity, Lin Shan felt awesome. The nightmare totally left her mind. For the next two days, she ate and slept well. Whenever she was bored, she would take a look at her treasure box and calculate her current monetary worth.

“This one (banknote) can buy us a house in Jiang Nan.” Lin Shan took out another sheet and placed it on the table, “This one can buy us a couple acres of land and two ox. As for this sheet, Xiao Lu, do you think I should open a tavern or a restaurant?”

Xiao Lu intently stared at Lin Shan: “Master, didn’t you say you wanted to open a brothel?”

“That was before!” Lin Shan rolled her eyes at Xiao Lu: “I thought about it. There are too many beauties in brothels. The s.e.xual tension is too strong. I don’t want my man to be tempted. Plus, brothels are too common. It cannot show off my talents. So I have changed my mind. I am going to open a tavern! The name will be called the Dragon Gate Tavern. Selling buns will be the specialty!”

Xiao Lu was clearly shocked: “…Master, you’re truly one of a kind.”

“Of course!” Lin Shan thought very highly of herself: “I also plan on opening a biao ju*!”

“What do you plan to call the biao ju?”

Lin Shan thought about it: “I know! The Golden Sabre Biao Ju!”

Xiao Lu nearly choked on her tea. She gave Lin Shan a dirty look: “Master, you still can’t forget the golden sabre, eh?”

“Bulls.h.i.+t. That’s gold!” Lin Shan naturally nodded.

Xiao Lu was speechless. After a few moments, she said: “Speaking of the golden sabre, Lian Superior should be back today.”

“Mhm.” Lin Shan nodded, pretending to look calm.

Xiao Lu was excited: “Master, why don’t we go to the Palace gate and wait for Lian Superior?”

“Pah! Grow up. What type of young lady would throw herself out there like that? Be reserved. Understand?”

Xiao Lu looked wronged and grumbled: “Who was the one who secretly hid behind a stone statue to bid farewell? Psssh, reserved.”

“What did you say?”

“Your servant did not say anything!” Xiao Lu quickly shook her head.

“Hmm.. that’s right!” Lin Shan made a humph sound and started counting her banknotes again. After she counted them for the third time, she reluctantly placed the banknotes back into the box and closed the lid. Then, she lifted her head and looked at Xiao Lu: “Why don’t we go out and take a look?”

“……Master, you need to be reserved!”

“Reserved your sister! I’m going to greet the golden sabre. Not to greet a person!” She carefully put the box away and pulled Xiao Lu with her.

Poor Xiao Lu only drank half her tea, but was dragged out by the frenzy Lin Shan.

Since Dawn, Du Hao had already brought a bunch of his people with him to an upper area to wait. From where he was, he could see a lot further. He could see the flat and expansive main street that was right outside the Palace gate. The main street ran straight through the Capital. The country’s flouris.h.i.+ng districts could be seen all around. All the wealthy and riches were mixed within.

Yet, at the end of the road, outside the Capital, stood tens of thousands of Du Ye’s troops. Each of the soldier’s blade had once faced the enemies from the border. But now, they were ready to face his country and his people for his t.i.tle.

Was this the price of being born royal? There was no such thing as the so-called family love. “Blood is thicker than water” was no match for the enticing position of the Emperor. Despite being siblings, ultimately, they will ma.s.sacre each other.

Du Hao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He was enjoying his last moments of peace. The air had already started to become unstable. The flames may spark at any moment.

“Your Highness, they have arrived!” A guard with good eyes was keeping on a lookout saw horses heading towards the Palace gate.

“Let’s go down to greet them!” Du Hao snapped out of his peaceful moment. Victory or defeat will be determined by this result.

A bunch of guards followed Du Hao down as the Palace gates slowly opened. Two horses stormed in. One of them had the golden sabre around his waist. It was s.h.i.+ning against the sunrise.

Xiao Lu glanced through the crowd and suddenly whispered: “Master, look! The golden sabre!”

“Grow up!” Lin Shan said under her breath. But the corner of her mouth couldn’t help but curve upwards. She looked towards the Palace gate with antic.i.p.ation. Gradually, the horses’ hooves became clearer. The men on the horses stood straight and firm. They bear the hope of many. But at this moment, Lin Shan’s expression froze.

That face didn’t have a mask!
