Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Golden radiance!

When the red cloth fell, what came into view was a life-size golden statue!

The whole audience was amazed!

This golden statue is actually a bit rough. It only shows the outline of a person wearing a crown and a dragon robe. You can tell that the person is the emperor, but the facial features and other details are blurry... But in front of such a huge piece of gold, this flaw is insignificant!

Liu Rusi was stunned. Chu Shiyu was trying to bribe his father? If she were the emperor, she would definitely forgive him!

But the emperor himself was only stunned for a moment, and then his attention was still on Chu Shiyu, only his attitude softened a little.

Money and property have lost their meaning to the emperor who has the throne, but Chu Shiyu's gift of this valuable item is a gesture of goodwill, representing his willingness not to want to conflict...

"Such a huge golden statue is indeed amazing... But Yu'er, can you explain if there is any deeper meaning behind this surprise?"

"There is no deep meaning. It's just that Myanmar is rich in minerals. I have made a lot of harvests, so I made a golden statue to give to my father."

Chu Shiyu turned around and left after he finished speaking, and gave a perfunctory explanation: "My son is wet and cold, and I need to change clothes and wash up, so I will go first."

This time, the emperor did not say anything to stop him.

Although Chu Shiyu said that there was no deep meaning, he actually revealed some information!

Myanmar is already in Chu Shiyu's hands!

For a country, besides population, the most important thing is land resources! And mineral veins are the top priority! Daxia's control over salt and iron is extremely strict, which is to firmly grasp the lifeline of the country!

Such a huge golden statue, a gold mine of ordinary size, cannot be completed, and Chu Shiyu can take the gold mine in Myanmar, so the iron mine is naturally no problem! Chu Shiyu can completely equip his own army in Myanmar!

This also shows that the current Burmese royal family does not even have the most basic power! It can even be said that the current Burmese royal family is just a puppet of Chu Shiyu!

The emperor naturally knew that Myanmar was now Chu Shiyu's sphere of influence! But he didn't expect it to be to this extent!

Becoming a vassal state and becoming a puppet are two different concepts! A vassal state has autonomy, while a puppet's life and death are decided by the master. If the master is not satisfied one day, he can even replace the puppet to sit on the throne!

How long has it been? It's been less than a year since we entered the Burmese royal city!

Daxia had already withdrawn its troops, and without a large army approaching, how could Chu Shiyu quickly build up his own power in other countries? How could he make the warlords in Myanmar surrender?

The emperor suppressed all his doubts and truly put Chu Shiyu in a position where he could compete with his superiors!

No matter how Chu Shiyu did it, Chu Shiyu was showing that he had a way out. He could leave Daxia at any time and occupy the land of Myanmar as the king...

Right now, all the games in Daxia are taking place in the north. If something happens to Chu Shiyu, and Myanmar gets out of control, it is likely to lead to turmoil in the southwest, and Daxia will be attacked from all sides!

He is so far-sighted and has turned the situation between the North and the South into his own support. Even if you are an emperor, as long as you are wise, you should not touch him easily!

The emperor let out a light sigh and looked coldly at the commander of the imperial guards.

The commander of the Imperial Guard paused, and said with an embarrassed look, "Your Majesty, this golden statue is made of pure gold, worth 18,000 taels... Your Majesty, don't you like it?"

After thinking for a long time, the emperor chuckled: "Yu'er's surprise... why not be happy?"

The emperor then gave a cold order: "Move the golden statue to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. You must strictly guard the gates of the palace. No one is allowed to enter or leave... If Prince Duan insists on leaving the palace, do not use force to stop him. Send a battalion of soldiers to follow him and report immediately."

"Yes!"

The commander of the imperial guards retreated in response. He didn't know whether the emperor would blame him, but as a guard, he was a sword that obeyed the emperor's orders... He was only allowed to borrow it from the young master after confirming that it would not harm the emperor...

After everything was settled, the emperor looked at Concubine Xian, who was trembling with cold but dared not say a word.

"The servants in Jinren Palace failed to fulfill their duty of persuasion, and all of them will be beaten to death, and a group of sensible new people will serve Concubine Xian."

The servants of Concubine Xian immediately begged miserably! Concubine Xian was struck by lightning!

She knew that in the emperor's heart, all the concubines were not as important as a prince! But she also had the Eighth Prince! Killing all the servants around her would be equivalent to wasting her hard work in the harem!

"Your Majesty, please have mercy! Nanny Rong is Shi Qi's wet nurse, and these servants have watched Shi Qi grow up. If they are all beaten to death, Shi Qi will probably be heartbroken. I beg Your Majesty to at least spare their lives!" Concubine Xian pleaded with tears in her eyes.

The emperor gave a cold order: "Go back and reflect on your mistakes. You are not allowed to go out without my permission."

After saying this, the emperor walked away, only turning his head slightly to signal Chu Shikun to follow.

Concubine Xian sat slumped on the ground, not understanding why the emperor suddenly took such a cruel action. Was it because Chu Shiyu gave him a golden statue? ! The golden statue was valuable, but it was not unique! If the Prime Minister's Mansion was willing to raise funds, even ten golden statues would be no problem!

The virtuous concubine looked miserable, but no servant came to help her.

After the emperor gave the order, many eunuchs and guards rushed forward and took control of the servants in Jinren Palace!

Most of the slaves looked ashen, not even daring to struggle. Resistance was disobedience, a crime that would lead to the extermination of the clan... There were also requirements for being a slave in the palace. One had to have a clean background and know their origins. At critical moments, their parents and siblings outside the palace were the only thing they could not resist even if they died...

The nanny who slapped Zhu Qing lost her arrogance and looked at Concubine Xian expectantly with trembling lips...

Concubine Xian barely recovered from the shock, staggered to her feet, and said softly: "I will ask my father to settle your relatives..."

The dying slaves finally felt at ease, their tense bodies relaxed, and they allowed the guards to drag them to a place of no return...

At the entrance of the waterside pavilion.

Seeing the back of Concubine Xian staggering away, Concubine De and the ladies of various families were horrified! Although they were enemies, seeing a high-ranking Concubine fall to this state in such a short time, they could not help but feel sad...

"How could mother and stepfather forget me..."

The child's mumbling complaints broke the silence. The situation just now was complicated and little Qin Hao felt that he should not speak, but he did not expect that he would be left here!

Many eyes looked at the child, some with obvious or subtle solemn expressions...it was the fear and respect for the mother through the child!

No one present understood what happened just now, but it was obvious that Concubine Xian looked like she was sure of victory when she went to provoke Liu, but she was defeated miserably once again!

Unless it is absolutely necessary, you cannot make enemies with the Liu family! This is the understanding of most people!

However, Fang Qiu and Chang Ning were not among them. Chang Ning pulled the child up and said, "Don't worry, this princess has no problem in the palace. I will take you to find your mother!"

Fang Qiu was grinning in embarrassment. Prince Duan agreed to help her join the army on the condition that she would look after and protect Madam Liu in the palace. She agreed with a pat on her chest!

But after entering the palace and encountering troubles time and again... Fang Qiu couldn't help but feel nervous. Would Prince Duan still help her join the army...
