Chapter 422: Let’s Make a Bet

Xue Fanxin had arranged things before leaving with the people from the Ministry of Justice. She asked Little Lei to go to the palace to investigate. If things were really as she had guessed, then he would follow her instructions while she would stall for time.

The Heavenly Saints Emperor did not interrogate Xue Fanxin in the main hall but in the side hall. He did not invite the ministers. Apart from some of his trusted subordinates, there was no one else.

This was a private court.

However, he was the Emperor of the Heavenly Saints Empire. Even if he set up a private court, who would dare to say a word?

“Ninth Imperial Consort, I won’t make things difficult for you. As long as you return the green crystal ores, I’ll let you leave. To be precise, you’re not the Ninth Imperial Consort yet. The Ninth Imperial Uncle didn’t officially marry you. You’re just a nobody. If not for the Ninth Imperial Uncle’s power, would you be able to be so arrogant?”

The Heavenly Saints Emperor went straight to the point. His tone was filled with dissatisfaction. However, because of Ye Jiushang’s power, he chose to bear with it. No matter how much he hated her, he did not dare to really do anything to her.

If Ye Jiushang was in the city, would he dare to touch Xue Fanxin?

But an entire green crystal mine was equivalent to half of the wealth in the Heavenly Saints Empire’s treasury. Recently, the empire had been declining. This wealth was very important, and he had to get it back.

He did not believe that without Ye Jiushang, he, the dignified ruler of a country, could not deal with a little girl.

“Your Majesty, someone accused me of privately mining the royal crystal mine. May I ask if you have any evidence? If you arrest someone for questioning without any evidence and convict me without even investigating, then I’m going to cry out in grievance. I beg the accuser to come and confront me.”

“You…” The Heavenly Saints Emperor had long heard that Xue Fanxin had a sharp tongue. Furthermore, her personality was arrogant, crafty, and barbaric. He thought she only behaved like this in front of ordinary people. He did not expect her to treat him the same way. It was really hateful.

Xue Fanxin knew that the Heavenly Saints Emperor was angry. In order to stall for time, she could only give in. “Your Majesty, the person who accused me was Su Baifeng, right? But have you ever thought about her true intentions? Did she really do it to save her father? There are many ways to save Prime Minister Su. With the financial power of the Prime Minister’s Estate, it’s not difficult.”

The Heavenly Saints Emperor had actually considered Su Baifeng’s intentions. She wanted to use him to deal with Xue Fanxin, but in order to take back those green crystals, he was willing to be used once.

......

Just as the Heavenly Saints Emperor was thinking about this, Xue Fanxin continued, “I know that to get those green crystals, you’re willing to put up with Su Baifeng, but have you ever thought about how much impact this matter will have? Ignoring how Ah Jiu will treat you after he returns, just based on my own influence, I wonder how much pressure the four great families and the Heavenly Treasure Trading Company can bear?”

“Are you threatening me?”

“I just want to tell you the real situation, in case you neglect a lot of things to recover those green crystals and be used by Su Baifeng for nothing. Why don’t we make a bet?”

“On what?”

“In half a day, let’s see how much the pressure on your side will increase.”
