Chapter 2515: Weirdo
Xuexue definitely won’t do this kind of losing deal.
Thus, she took out a silver needle from her bosom, carefully testing for poison on the gold and silver treasures in the coffin. After probing for a bit, the silver needle showed no change.
She also tested on the Empress Dowager’s clothes, ensuring there was no poison in the coffin, and then put the silver needle away.
Xuexue turned and said to them, "Rest assured, you two seniors, there’s no poison inside the coffin."
The Weirdo, lacking arms and legs, lay on the ground and couldn’t see inside the coffin, so he straightforwardly asked the Elder to bring the body out of the coffin.
The Empress Dowager’s body was wrapped in many gold and silver treasures.
Xuexue said, "You two seniors, please hold your breath for a moment, let me take down all the gold and silver treasures first, then you can do whatever you want."
The items on the Empress Dowager’s body are all treasures, don’t let those two rough men ruin them.
The Weirdo chuckled, "I knew meeting you wasn’t going to be good, turns out you’re here for the treasures!"
Xuexue also laughed and said, "People die for money, birds die for food, senior, you’re not going to compete with me, are you?"
Xuexue spoke so bluntly to the Weirdo because she was sure he wouldn’t compete with her, as she had the miracle medicine the Weirdo wanted most, something money can’t buy.
Sure enough, the Weirdo chuckled again, "The Old Devout Woman’s items, Master finds them dirty, don’t worry, they’re all yours."
The Elder was stunned for a moment, the Master is too generous, isn’t he? The treasures in the whole tomb are of immeasurable value, the Master needs Silver for future endeavors, although they came tonight with the intention of flogging the corpse, the treasures were also one of the goals. How could the Master just say he doesn’t want them! Even splitting them half and half would be nice!
The Elder tactfully said, "Master, our faction also needs money."
The Weirdo glared at him, "If you need money, go take it from the Imperial Palace."
The Elder’s face immediately fell, thinking, going to the Imperial Palace for money, Master, you say it so easily, do you think the Imperial Palace is still your home!
"Master, ever since the Old Devout Woman died, the guards at the Imperial Palace have doubled in number, it’s not easy to get in there!"
The Elder had a mournful face, wondering why the Master is so foolish, ignoring the ready money here and wanting to steal from such a dangerous place. Even as a servant of the War Prince, you shouldn’t give away all the Silver to others, should you? We need to strengthen our own power too.
The Weirdo chuckled, "That’s your lack of ability, can’t blame others."
The Elder weakly shouted, "Master...!"
The Weirdo impatiently said, "Alright, alright, what a small trivial matter, why do you, a Great Master, look so mournful? Just tell me how much Silver you need at that time, and I’ll give it to you."
The Elder’s eyes brightened, he knew the Master was the Eldest Prince of the Former Dynasty, surely there were still treasures around, and finally he could rest easy, muttering to himself, "Great, who would have thought the Master still has money despite the upheaval."
Unexpectedly, the Weirdo said again, "You’ve thought too much, I don’t have any money! Back when the Old Devout Woman broke my arms and legs, she confiscated all my property."
Hearing this, the Elder nearly fainted. Master, you have no money, yet you’re so generous to give all the Silver in the tomb to the Princess Consort of War Prince. Truly, you don’t realize the cost of living when you’re not the one in charge. A faction eats and drinks, how much does it cost per month? Previously they lost contact and didn’t provide Silver as usual, now they’re back, they need to cultivate power, win people over, everything requires money.
The Elder didn’t know about the miracle medicine, so he couldn’t understand the Weirdo’s feelings.
