The Ancient Growth Diary of a Little Zombie

"Cough cough!"

At this time, Huo Yunting, who was standing next to him, suddenly put his fist to his lips and coughed twice.

Hearing this noise, the emperor seemed to have thought of something and his whole body stiffened.

Then the disbelief in his voice shifted to his eyes, and as he slowly turned his head, his disbelief gaze moved to Huo Yunting.

It's not what he thinks, is it?

Huo Yunting seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and nodded silently at him with a look of pity.

The emperor had just stood up suddenly out of shock, but after seeing Huo Yunting nod, he suddenly fell back into the chair behind him.

The little flame of anger in his eyes that was ignited by the loss of gold and jewelry also went out with a snap.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

"Father!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards, Eunuch Sun, and the Crown Prince who had just returned from the north all cried out in surprise when they saw this.

The emperor leaned on his chair with one hand and waved weakly with the other hand at the two princes who rushed up to him with concern. Then, suppressing the deep sorrow in his heart, he said solemnly to the commander of the imperial guards:

"How much is left? I copied it from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing this, the commander of the Imperial Guards raised his head abruptly and looked at the emperor in astonishment. However, when he met the emperor's fierce eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head and replied firmly:

"Yes, I understand!"

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said with some tiredness:

"Alright, let's deal with the rest as we need to. You can leave now."

As soon as the commander of the Imperial Guard bowed and left the Imperial Study, the Emperor immediately grabbed a memorial from the table and threw it at Huo Yunting, angrily scolding:

"Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier!"

So much gold!

Huo Yunting reached out and steadily caught the memorial that was thrown into his arms. He touched his nose with a guilty conscience and muttered softly:

"Uncle Huang, please be content. If I hadn't tried my best to dissuade you, given that little girl's temperament, you wouldn't even get a glimpse of gold."

"Look at what he said!"

The emperor was like an elder who was helpless with his own naughty child. He pointed at Huo Yunting with a trembling finger, turned his head to the two princes beside him, and made an angry accusation.

Last year, the north suffered from a severe drought followed by heavy snow. The prince went to the north to inspect disaster relief before the New Year. It was only a month ago that he received a message from the emperor asking him to return to Beijing quickly. He arrived this morning after riding at full speed.

Although he was back for a short time, he heard Eunuch Sun roughly explain what happened and the little girl named Sang Shishi.

The prince stepped forward and patted the emperor on the back to soothe him, saying in a gentle voice:

"Father, please calm down first. Yun Ting must have a reason for what he did. He didn't do it on purpose to anger you."

In fact, the prince was also a little confused. He always felt that this kid seemed to have a different personality after returning this time.

I don’t know if it was the prince’s consolation that worked, but the emperor stopped talking and just stared at Huo Yunting, as if to say, you’d better explain to me!

Huo Yunting sighed lightly upon seeing this, took two steps forward, and knelt in front of the table, saying with a desperate look:

"Hey, uncle, now that things have come to this, your nephew will not hide anything from you.

In fact, the main reason why that girl came to the capital this time was not to exchange the divine seed for an official position."

The emperor was puzzled:

"Oh? What's the main reason?"

Could it be that they dare not disobey his will?

But judging from the girl's behavior, it doesn't look like that!

Huo Yunting pursed his lips and squeezed out four words with some difficulty:

"He came here to rob people."

This is what he heard on the road from the conversation between the little girl and her family.

That damn girl is here for those rich and corrupt officials in Beijing!

Originally, he and his father planned to create an image of a naive, innocent, kind and well-behaved girl in front of His Majesty.

But now it seems that I should just forget it!

"Robbery?

What does this mean? "

The prince, who knew very little about corpses, couldn't help but ask in confusion.

Could it be that the little girl is actually a bandit?

Huo Yunting pursed his lips again, pondered for a long time on how to choose words, and then replied:

“That girl has always hated evil and valued money as her life.

Ahem, so according to her own words, she came to the capital to be a hero and punish evildoers.

Of course, I can also rob the rich and help her poor..."

What a good idea! He robs the rich and helps the poor!

The other three people in the imperial study fell silent after hearing this.

Seeing the silence in the atmosphere, Huo Yunting raised his eyes again and looked at the emperor and the prince with a hesitant look.

The emperor took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, saying:

"Tell me anything else!"

Huo Yunting smiled awkwardly.

“Haha~ You’ve seen what that little girl is capable of.

Nephew just wants to remind you again.

That girl loves money and holds a grudge, you'd better not...

Otherwise, when your palace is emptied, don’t blame your nephew for not reminding you later…”

My goodness, these words made the emperor so angry that he fell backwards!

“What did he say?

Nothing else?

You little bastard, why don't you say something else!"

The Crown Prince looked at his cousin who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed and silent, then looked at his furious father. After thinking for a moment, he kindly added:

"Father, Yun Ting probably wants you to not offend that little girl."

Upon hearing this, the emperor turned his head sharply, glared at the prince, and roared:

"I don't know! You should tell me!"

As an emperor, doesn't he have any face?

"Father, calm down, calm down. Is it because of the divine seed that you are so anxious to summon me back?"

The prince's change of subject could be considered very abrupt and forced.

But after hearing his question, the emperor calmed down again.

"How many divine species are there in Sangjia Village?"

The emperor had a cold face and asked Huo Yunting in a bad mood.

Huo Yunting felt relieved when he heard this, and then thought about it again. He had not counted the total number at the beginning. He looked up at the emperor and asked:

"How many do you want?"

"Oh, judging from your tone, could it be that I can have as much as I want?"

Huo Yunting paused for a moment and nodded.

"Well, it's a matter of time. When we set off, they had already planted a new batch, which is more than a month ago.

According to them, the harvest will be ready in two or three months."

Although this was not the first time he heard this, the emperor's pupils shrank uncontrollably when he heard it again.

This magical seed not only has a high yield, but also is not like rice and wheat which can only be planted once a year. How could he not be moved by it?

The emperor twirled his right thumb and index finger, lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at Eunuch Sun and said in a deep voice:

"Go and pass the message to those noble families. A divine seed costs one hundred taels of gold. You only have two days to get it. No more waiting."

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Sun responded respectfully with a "yes", then bowed to the prince and Huo Yunting, and slowly walked out of the imperial study.

"Why did Father sell the divine seeds to those aristocratic families?"
