My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

In the scene, Zhao Jinghua put down the teacup and sneered, "I know, you can go down." Zhou Lang nodded and turned back when he was about to step out of the door, "Master, what is the reward you mentioned?"

Zhao Jinghua nodded and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot it." Then he transformed a three-inch wooden box and handed it to Zhou Lang.

After Zhou Lang opened the wooden box, he saw a pill the size of a pearl inside. Zhou Lang asked in confusion, "Master, what is this?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and said, "This pill can heal the wound instantly."

Zhou Lang's pupils shrank after hearing this. "This is incredible!"

Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly. "I was going to give it to Zhao Jingtai. After all, I made him lose face in the court." At this, Zhao Jinghua's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "This is another reward. Just tell me what you want."

Zhou Lang knelt down immediately after hearing this and said, "Master, I want you to help me with something!" Then he bowed deeply to Zhao Jinghua.

Zhao Jinghua sighed and said, "It's okay to say it, you get up first."

Zhou Lang stood up slowly. "You also know that my brother got married a few months ago. The two of them love each other, but when my mother-in-law heard that I was your guard, she wanted to add another 200 taels to the original betrothal gift. I was really unable to do so, but I couldn't bear to see my brother and my sister-in-law say goodbye in tears, so I agreed to what the mother-in-law said."

Zhao Jinghua nodded slightly after hearing this. "What about now?"

Zhou Lang shook his head, his tone full of sadness. "It sounded nice when they got married, that a daughter is like water spilled on the ground after she is married. But ever since my brother and sister-in-law got married, the mistress has been relying on our family. Today, my sister-in-law's brother is sick and needs money, or tomorrow, her brother lost money in the casino, or the day after tomorrow, her father is sick, and if my sister-in-law doesn't give her money, she will make a scene at my house. As a result, I am so worried now."

Zhao Jinghua rubbed his brows after hearing this and said, "It's hard for an honest official to settle family affairs. Do you want me to send someone to kill her?"

Zhou Lang waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, that's not necessary." At the same time, Zhao Jinghua took out a silver note of five hundred taels and placed it on the table without saying anything.

Zhou Lang knelt down immediately and said, "That's not what I meant."

Zhao Jinghua sighed and stood up slowly. "Take it. Just think of it as a toy raised by me." After saying that, Zhao Jinghua walked to Zhou Lang's side and patted his shoulder. "You, you are still too gentle." Then he walked out of the study.

Zhou Lang looked at Eunuch Chen in confusion. Eunuch Chen sighed and said, "Your Highness is scolding you, can't you hear it? You are His Highness's personal bodyguard! You are not a dough that can be kneaded by anyone! If you can't handle your own affairs, then His Highness will just keep you as a plaything!" Zhou Lang suddenly realized after hearing this.

Seeing this, Wan Sutong sighed and said, "Why is Zhao Jinghua still cursing in a roundabout way? I didn't even hear it. I thought the toy he was talking about was the mistress."

The system took the last bite of the apple and said, "This is called cursing without using any dirty words."

Wan Sutong looked at the system and chuckled, "You are not angry with him anymore?"

The system hummed and said, "I reflected on it and realized that I really shouldn't have been eating melon seeds at that time."

Wan Sutong raised her hand and touched the system's head. "As long as you understand."

In the scene, Zhao Jinghua came to Zhao Jingtai's Yinheng Palace. He pushed open Zhao Jingtai's door and saw Zhao Jingtai lying on the couch. The bandages on his back were covered with blood. Zhao Jingtai heard the footsteps and said angrily, "Didn't you say that you don't need to serve me?"

Zhao Jinghua sighed, "It's me."

Zhao Jingtai wanted to stand up after hearing this but was stopped by Zhao Jinghua. "No need. I was wrong today. I punished you too harshly."

Zhao Jingtai snorted coldly, "There's no one else here, why are you pretending to be so hypocritical?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and put his left hand on Zhao Jingtai's right shoulder, "It's my royal brother's fault. Why bother to get angry with a dying man like me?" Zhao Jingtai felt his fingertips stroking his back. Zhao Jingtai turned around abruptly and said, "Are you crazy? I'm your brother! I didn't believe others when they said you were gay! Now I have seen the truth!" But as soon as he finished speaking, he found that the pain in his back was gone. Zhao Jingtai tried to move twice, then got up and walked to the bronze mirror to remove all the bandages. He saw that his back was intact as if nothing had happened.

Zhao Jingtai looked at Zhao Jinghua in disbelief, "You..." But Zhao Jinghua started coughing. He raised his left hand to cover his mouth, but blood still flowed out from between his fingers, "Cough cough... cough."

Zhao Jingtai walked to his side and looked at him with an inquiring look. "You used your own blood to heal me. When did you become so kind?"

Zhao Jinghua retracted his bloody hand, then used his other hand to produce the red jade bracelet and handed it to Zhao Jingtai, "Brother, I know you hate me for taking the position of crown prince, but don't worry, the throne is still yours after all."

Zhao Jingtai took the red jade bracelet and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by these words?"

Zhao Jinghua sighed and closed his eyes. "Royal brother, do you think that father will choose a prince with a reputation for disloyalty to succeed him, or a beloved son who is young and energetic but has not made any serious mistakes?"

Zhao Jingtai's pupils shrank when he heard this. "You..." Before he could finish, Zhao Jinghua shook his head, raised his bloodless hand and patted Zhao Jingtai's shoulder. "It was disloyal for me to help my father ascend the throne. I could also compete with you for the throne, and my father would say that I was unfilial and disloyal. I, a dying man, don't care about these false names, but... you are my younger brother... I..." Zhao Jinghua hesitated to speak, sighed and walked away. "Yinheng Palace... what a good meaning... well, well..."

Zhao Jingtai frowned as he looked at Zhao Jinghua's back, then lowered his head and looked at the red jade bracelet in his hand and fell into deep thought, "Could it be... that I was wrong from the beginning?" However, Zhao Jinghua smiled coldly in a place where Zhao Jingtai could not see.

Wan Sutong shuddered after reading this. "Zhao Jinghua is indeed scary. He treats his enemies in a way that makes them feel that Zhao Jinghua treats them very well."

The system nodded. "But he treats you differently. He doesn't talk to you in a roundabout way."

"What does Yinheng Palace mean? Why does Zhao Jinghua sound so unwilling?" Wan Sutong frowned and asked the system with confusion.

The system shook its head and sighed, "Yin means inheritance from generation to generation, Heng means forever. Zhao Jinfang once promised Zhao Jingtai the position of Crown Prince. These two words mean that the throne is yours. My promise will never change."

Wan Sutong was shocked after hearing this. "No wonder he is the emperor. The name of a palace is so particular." Wan Sutong yawned and said, "Go to sleep!" After saying that, Wan Sutong quickly added, "Don't eat melon seeds next to my ears!"

The system chuckled and said, "Don't worry, although this system is made up of code, it is still a human being and needs to rest."

Wan Sutong closed her eyes and sighed, "Is there anything else you don't know?"

The system came to Wan Sutong's ear and whispered, "This system can sing rock and roll, host, do you want to listen?"

Wan Sutong raised her hand and drove away the system beside her ear like a mosquito. "Go away! I want to sleep! Why listen to rock music!"

The next morning, Wan Sutong began to talk in her sleep. "Jinghua, stop singing... I... I'll go with you... Stop singing!" After saying this, Wan Sutong quickly sat up from the bed. "0533!"

The system yawned, "What's wrong, host? Why are you so angry so early in the morning?"

Wan Sutong grabbed the system and said, "It's all your fault. You said last night that you could sing rock and roll! I dreamed that Zhao Jinghua was standing on the city wall with a bag on his back, and he said he wanted to sing Cui Jian's "Nothing at All" for me! I was stunned when he opened his mouth!"

The system burst into laughter after hearing this. "Isn't this quite in line with him? Didn't he say he would take you on a journey around the world? Hahahahaha!"
