My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

When Zhao Jinghua stepped into the brothel, the whole brothel fell silent. The madam pointed to the second private room on the third floor and said, "The fifth prince is in that room."

Zhao Jinghua nodded without saying anything, and walked up to the third floor step by step. When he came to the door of the private room, Zhao Jinghua glanced at the madam, and only opened the door when she nodded.

Zhao Jingcheng was about to undress when he saw Zhao Jinghua walk in. He quickly pretended nothing had happened and asked, "The prince is also in the mood to come here?"

Zhao Jinghua frowned and spoke in a cold tone, "Come back with me."

Zhao Jingcheng sneered and stiffened his neck to challenge Zhao Jinghua, "You can't control me. Besides, my third brother is here too. If he's not afraid, why should I be afraid?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled, "You insist on spending the night with this woman today, right?" Zhao Jingcheng swallowed unconsciously. Although he knew Zhao Jinghua was angry, he continued to nod unconvinced, "Yes!" But as soon as he finished speaking, the woman behind him timidly said, "Fifth Prince, please go back with the prince. I'm afraid..."

Zhao Jingcheng quickly comforted him, "Look how kind my brother is, don't be afraid." Even so, he was actually so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He knew Zhao Jinghua's temper. If anyone made a mistake, he would show no mercy.

The woman shook her head repeatedly. "Your Highness is not kind at all. I feel like I'm going to hit you right away."

When Zhao Jingcheng heard this, he quickly walked to Zhao Jinghua's side and said, "Brother, let's go."

Zhao Jinghua put a hundred-liang silver note on the table without saying anything. After saying "I'm sorry", he actually transformed into a long silver whip, which he swung to tie up Zhao Jingcheng tightly, and dragged him down the stairs. Zhao Jingcheng hurriedly said, "Royal brother, you can't do that! Royal brother! How can I save my face!"

After going downstairs, Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly to the madam and said "thank you"

When they arrived outside, the people were already talking about "So the Fifth Prince has such a refined taste"

"Who said it wasn't?" Zhao Jinghua frowned as he heard the people around him talking about Zhao Jingcheng. He walked to the carriage and kicked Zhao Jingcheng into it. "Don't go to a brothel to listen to music in the future! Go to a theater! Don't believe anyone's words!"

Zhou Lang was also a smart man and quickly said, "Your Highness, don't be angry. Can I check it after I go back?"

"Check!" The people lost their temper when they heard what Zhao Jinghua said. "I thought he was here to visit a brothel, but I didn't expect he was scammed."

Zhao Jinghua got on the carriage and looked at Zhao Jingcheng coldly, "I know you don't like me, but if your father knew what you did today, let alone being crowned as a prince, even if you were reduced to a commoner, it would be considered a benevolence of your father!"

Zhao Jingcheng shuddered after hearing this. "But isn't my third brother here too? Wouldn't it be what you want if you get rid of us?"

Zhao Jinghua untied him and said in a calm tone without any emotion, "Do you believe him?"

"Of course I believe him, he is my brother..." After saying this, Zhao Jingcheng realized something was wrong and quickly explained, "Not only is he my brother, he...he is about the same age as me."

Zhao Jinghua nodded calmly and said, "Stay in my house today, and follow me to the palace during the morning court tomorrow."

Zhao Jingcheng hummed, "I remember that we were close friends before, but..." Zhao Jingcheng didn't say the rest of the words, and he didn't know how to say it. Seeing that Zhao Jinghua closed his eyes and didn't intend to pay attention to him, he stopped talking. The two returned to the mansion in silence until Zhou Lang's voice came, "The master is here." Zhao Jinghua slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Jingcheng, "Do you want me to invite you down?"

Zhao Jingcheng chuckled and said, "That's not necessary." He quickly got off the carriage.

Zhao Jinghua sighed and got off the carriage, but saw Zhao Jingcheng stretched out his hand, motioning Zhao Jinghua to help him get off the carriage. Zhao Jinghua sneered, "No need."

Zhao Jingcheng frowned and said, "I see that you look worse than before. Have you asked the imperial physician to take a look?"

At the same time, Wan Sutong stood in front of the Wan Mansion and looked carefully in the direction of the carriage. "It seems that they have a good relationship. How can you say that the brothers are not getting along?"

Zhao Jinghua shook his head slightly. "I didn't feel any discomfort. I just couldn't sleep at night recently." Zhao Jingcheng nodded. No wonder he didn't speak in the carriage just now.

"Host, let's go inside the mansion. It would be embarrassing if Zhao Jinghua found out." The system said anxiously.

Wan Sutong waved her hand and said, "It's okay, he won't find out." But just as she finished speaking, she saw Zhao Jinghua was about to turn around. Wan Sutong quickly retreated back to the mansion and said, "That was a close call. I'll spend a hundred points."

The system laughed and said, "Okay."

In the scene, Zhao Jinghua rubbed his brows and walked into the mansion. Zhao Jingcheng also followed him. "Brother, how many days have you not slept?"

Zhao Jinghua said with a tired and weak tone: "Three days"

"Three days!" Zhao Jingcheng said in disbelief, then looked at Zhou Lang, "How can a guard like you keep your master awake for three days! Don't you know how to find a doctor?" Zhou Lang lowered his head and said nothing.

Zhao Jinghua raised his hand to stop him. "It was me who didn't let him go. Father has just ascended the throne and it's not appropriate to be distracted. Let's wait a month or so."

Zhao Jingcheng frowned and said, "I can't sleep at night. Are you sure you can last another month?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and said, "Maybe I just have too many thoughts these days, maybe I won't do it tonight."

Zhao Jingcheng sneered, "No one can guess my father's temper."

Zhao Jinghua turned his head to look at Zhao Jingcheng and said, "Don't talk about father behind his back, I'm afraid there are ears on the other side of the wall." Zhao Jingcheng nodded without saying anything.

"I'm tired. Zhou Lang, please take the Third Prince to familiarize himself with the mansion."

Zhou Lang bowed and said, "Your Highness, please come in." Zhao Jingcheng nodded and said, "Then my brother, have a good rest."

"Does the system have any sleeping pills?" The system nodded. "Yes, but the host's medicine cannot be used indiscriminately. If Zhao Jinghua is allergic, it may cause a rash at the mildest, or even fatal. It is safer to have tranquilizing incense here."

Wan Sutong nodded repeatedly, "You are right, how many points are needed?"

The system shook its head and said, "Not expensive, not expensive, 8,000 points per bundle, there are 50 of them."

Wan Sutong hesitated a little and asked, "Can it be cheaper?"

"Um... Host, I can't give you a discount, but if you send it to Zhao Jinghua, you can get back the money for ten bundles."

Wan Sutong thought for a long time and said, "Wait a little longer. It might not be appropriate to send it rashly."

At this moment, Zhao Jinghua pushed the door and walked into the study. Then he chuckled and said, "Father, why did you come to my residence without letting the servants tell me? If I had gone directly to the bedroom, wouldn't you have waited in vain?"

Perhaps seeing that no one was talking, Zhao Jinghua stepped forward and asked, "Father?" Wan Sutong's hair stood on end. "Can't I see? There's obviously no one here! Is Zhao Jinghua crazy?"

"This seems to be the symptom of Linglong Gu's poison!" The system was holding a palm-sized book and was flipping through it quickly.

"What! I've been poisoned!" Wan Sutong was shocked and thought she had heard it wrong.

The system nodded and read the introduction in the book carefully. "Linglong Gu is non-toxic. The cultivation of those who are infected with it can be improved tenfold. Linglong Gu has mother and child Gu. The lifespan of the mother Gu is twenty-five years, and the lifespan of the child Gu is twice that of the mother Gu. The spiritual power increased by the child Gu is half of that of the mother Gu. The first child of the person infected with the mother Gu will produce a child Gu in his body. After the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will corrode the heart meridian and make it lose its function! In the early stage, the person cannot sleep at night and has hallucinations. In severe cases, he may be bloodthirsty and kill. In the later stage, he will have heart pain. Therefore, the child Gu will completely corrode the heart meridian in five years at most. There is no antidote for Linglong Gu, but only women who are infected will have the child Gu."
