"No... no. I have always been an honest official. Such a huge amount of property cannot possibly be from my family."

The prime minister took a deep breath, his face as black as the bottom of a pot. His chest rose and fell, and he suffered in silence.

He even had tears of heartache in his eyes, sob...

At least 10 million silver dollars worth of things were stolen from my house. If I had known that everything would disappear overnight, I would have paid some money out. Maybe my assets could have been saved.

"Do you have any questions, my dear ministers?" asked Emperor Xuanwu.

Luo'er is smart. If these people dare to say that the things belong to them, she will charge them with the crime of having huge property of unknown origin.

These people were unwilling to pay a penny at the beginning. Humph! Now, all their assets were emptied out in one night.

Even though these people knew that the money in the treasury belonged to them, they did not dare to say a word.

Besides, no one could suspect Luo'er in this matter.

Even he, who could clearly hear Luo'er's thoughts, did not dare to connect this matter with a one-year-old child!

This was probably a dark day for many officials, as the treasures they had stored for more than ten years were all lost overnight.

After hearing the news, these people were so shocked that they almost fainted.

However, even though the treasure was right in front of them, no one dared to admit it.

They always felt that this matter had something to do with Princess Shengyang, but they were unwilling to admit it!

Pepper House

The eldest prince walked in and bowed respectfully, "Mother!"

"Now the queen is gone, and the prince is still young. I heard from the imperial physician that your father's illness is very complicated, and I'm afraid he won't survive for a few more years. Aren't you working hard for the throne?"

"Why did that old man make such a young child the crown prince?"

Concubine Xian's face was full of disdain, "You are the eldest prince, you should be the candidate for the crown prince!"

"Mother, I'm afraid our real opponent is not the little prince, but Prince Pingyang."

The eldest prince sighed slightly, thinking about the time when he went to ask Xiao Shengyang for help.

Oh, what a shame...

That child is much more terrifying than the crown prince. He has tremendous abilities at such a young age. If he grows up, I'm afraid... he will be incredible...

"Are you talking about that little bitch Sheng Yang?"

Imperial Concubine Xian gritted her teeth and roared angrily, "When you mention it, I get angry. My legitimate princess is already fifteen years old and has never been held in her arms! And this little bitch was actually carried to court by that old man!"

The eldest prince sighed, "Mother, I don't think I can defeat them."

"idiot!"

Concubine Xian was so angry that she jumped up from the bed and said angrily, "You just give up like that? Don't you see that your brothers are eyeing you covetously? If you are not the emperor in the future, they will eat you to the bone. Even I, your mother, will not be able to raise my head!"

"Don't worry about that little bitch Sheng Yang for now, we'll deal with her later. When you become the crown prince, he won't be able to do anything to you!"

Concubine Xian took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down, "Go, I want to make the little prince die young."

Concubine Xian narrowed her eyes and looked at the prince coldly.

After standing there for a long time, the prince finally left.

After Emperor Xuanwu finished his court session, he went to the national treasury and picked out some interesting things, some treasures made of pure gold.

Emperor Xuanwu asked the eunuchs to take anything suitable for children to Prince Pingyang's Palace.

When Luo'er took a look, wow, her commission had arrived.

Looking at things that glitter with golden light makes me feel particularly comfortable.

"Sister Shengyang!"

The prince was free in the afternoon, so he came to see Luo'er. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but ask, "Sister Shengyang, you seemed to have something unfinished yesterday."

"what?"

Luo'er looked at him with a smile, and the two small bells on her head kept shaking, "Brother Crown Prince, do you believe what I say?"

Helian Cheng nodded, "Of course I believe it, Sister Sheng Yang is very powerful."

"Your life will be in danger within three days."

Luo'er looked at him nonchalantly.

Helian Cheng was startled and his face turned pale instantly. He was eight years old and knew the concept of life and death.

He still has a lot of things to do and doesn't want to die.

He is still a child. As a prince, can he not escape the torture of fate?

"That……"

The little prince felt weak all over. No one was afraid of death. "Is there any..."

"Brother Crown Prince, the fate of a dying person cannot be changed by anyone."

Luo Er pouted, and suddenly felt very powerless, "I'm sorry, Prince brother."

Helian Cheng sat down on the ground, feeling extremely aggrieved.

He was still a child after all, and his face couldn't stop shaking, and finally, tears flowed down.

At that moment, Helian Cheng just felt empty in his heart.

When Helian Cheng left, he still left with tears in his eyes.

Xu Yinyin was confused, "Little Prince, what happened? Did Luo'er bully you?"

"Aunt Huang, it's okay. My sister is fine."

Helian Cheng turned around and got on the carriage, looking listless.

"Luo'er, what happened to your prince brother?"

Xu Yinyin looked at Luo'er in surprise.

Luo'er turned her head and ate silently without saying anything.

[Did I do something wrong? I just wanted to remind him so that he would know in advance that his life was about to end and let him say goodbye in advance.]

Xu Yinyin curled her lips, looking helpless. What does this have to do with anything?

He did not go back to his own residence directly, but went to the Imperial Master's residence, crying, "Uncle Imperial Master."

"Little Prince, what happened?"

The Imperial Master looked at the little prince with heartache. It was the first time he saw the little prince cry so sadly.

"Sister Sheng Yang said that I only have three days to live."

Helian Cheng hugged him aggrievedly, "Tell me, it's fake, right? I don't want to, I'm still so young, and I have a lot of ambitions that haven't been realized."

The Imperial Master couldn't help but look at the top of Helian Cheng's head. He was suddenly startled. He could indeed vaguely see some deathly aura.

"Prince, if this is what Princess Shengyang said, then..."

The Imperial Master did not finish his words, but they were filled with sadness. "Prince, death is not as scary as you think. Sooner or later, people will..."

Helian Cheng's eyes were red, and he didn't say anything. This time he went straight back to his mansion.

The Fifth Prince sat in a wheelchair, looking puzzled, and looked at Helian Cheng with red eyes, "Cheng'er, who bullied you?"

"No one."

Helian Cheng was helpless, looking at his mother's belly beside him, "Are you going to give me a brother?"

The Fifth Princess had a loving look on her face and said softly, "Be good, don't talk nonsense. Mother already has Cheng'er. Besides, hasn't Cheng'er always wanted a sister?"

"I want a younger brother. I want a younger brother."

Helian Cheng's eyes were red, and his tone of voice seemed to be without a soul, "It would be better if it was a younger brother."

The Fifth Prince and the Princess looked confused and felt something was wrong.

"Cheng'er, what's wrong with you today?"

The princess looked at him distressedly, with a puzzled look on her face.
