C58 apoplexy (2/2)

Nangong Yu's lips curved up in a smile, ”People die for money, birds die for food. I've been taught a lesson.”

Shangguan Wan ignored him and continued to walk towards the inner chamber.

”I know that the empress is still sulking, but royal father's birthday is at hand. I believe the empress doesn't want royal father's birthday to be an unhappy birthday, right?” Nangong Yu smiled slyly.

She tilted her head and looked at him suspiciously, as if to ask, ”So?”

”Even if it's for royal father's sake, we should still pretend to be husband and wife in harmony.” Originally, acting was their forte, and there was nothing wrong with the phrase itself.

She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before replying, ”Deal.”

A deal is a deal, a play is a play.

Something like sharing a bed and a dream existed.

He would no longer defend himself, and she would no longer blame him.

The next morning, it was indeed very early. The Emperor and Empress went to pay their respects to Emperor Nanyan. When the Emperor saw them, he was naturally happy.

Since Nangong Yu was the emperor, there was naturally a way to deal with women.

Not long after he returned to the Hall of Scented Fragrance, someone was already waiting for him in his room, his eyes darting all over the place.

”Your majesty, it's your turn to show off.” Shangguan Wan lay on the bed, leaving the mess to Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu shrugged, ”The empress should know that I have no money left.”

Xu Guoliang expressed his anger. Seeing the couple singing the same tune, wasn't he going to renege on the debt?

”If not for the silver taels, I would have been able to take the demons in time.” After speaking, he began to take out the magic treasure.

”No different price, no different price!” Shangguan Wan quickly got up and ran to Xu Guang's side, holding his hand as she giggled, ”Don't be angry, Taoist-sir. Just now, I was just joking, we don't have any silver, but all the treasures in Fragrance Palace are priceless, whatever you like, just take it!”

Who would have thought that she, who was still so domineering yesterday, would be so mischievous and fawning today?

Nangong Yu crossed his arms across his chest as he watched with great interest.

This was the sentence Xu Guoliang was waiting for. He picked a dozen or so treasures very skillfully and then left in satisfaction.

Shangguan Wan felt very uncomfortable this time, having lost everything.

These were the personal possessions of Princess Nanyan, not hers. Right now, this kind of methods could not even be considered as ”offering a flower to a Buddha”. It was no different from ”stealing”.

Nangong Yu knew that her heart felt uncomfortable, so he 'comforted' her, ”There's nothing to feel guilty about. You even stole his husband, so what's the point of snatching this?”

Hearing this, Shangguan Wan couldn't help but be angered, ”Be careful, this demon's true form might scare you to death!”
