Chapter 159 Little Green Snake
Shi Bin was still not clear-headed, so Xiao Mo asked someone to send him to rest. Liuli was also tired after working for half the night, so she told him the general situation in the vault, and Ye Jintang quickly asked her to go and rest.
Soon, Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo were the only ones left in the room.
"Your Highness, have you ever thought about why the gold and silver are mixed together in the vault of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui instead of being separated?"
"Well, any normal person would keep the gold and silver separate so that it is easier to find them. But it is obvious that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui did not think about taking out the gold and silver in a short time."
"Yes, that's what I think. In addition to this vault, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui should have other small vaults. Your Majesty needs to ask her carefully whether Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has other vaults."
"And I feel that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has other intentions in building 12 small vaults."
"You mean, it will be 12 years since Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was named Imperial Noble Consort?"
"Yes, how could there be so many coincidences in this world? Imperial Noble Consort Dehui will be crowned Imperial Noble Consort for 12 years next year."
"And why didn't she just build a big vault when she was building it, but instead separated it into 12 small vaults?"
"If the 12 vaults were used to store gold and silver separately, it would make sense, but the gold and silver in the vaults were mixed together, which is really too strange."
Xiao Mo was not a person who would question things. After being reminded by Ye Jintang, he immediately realized that Imperial Noble Concubine Dehui might have other uses for storing these gold and silver.
"This year marks the 11th year since Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was named Imperial Noble Consort. According to the ancestral system, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui could have been named Empress a long time ago, but the Emperor has been slow to issue an edict, and Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has been talked about behind her back."
"If she really has other intentions in keeping 12 small coffers, I think there is nothing else that can make Imperial Noble Consort Dehui so concerned except the throne."
Xiao Mo and Imperial Noble Consort Dehui have been at loggerheads with each other for so many years, so he has some understanding of her.
She was very attached to the power in her hands and also cared a lot about the title of queen.
Over the years, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui had pressured Emperor Jing before, but each time he would evade her with various excuses.
As time went by, many people said behind her back that she was out of favor and that Emperor Jing only treated her as a female official.
Because of this matter, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui lost her temper countless times.
But given Consort Dehui's character, how could she tolerate it again and again?
She has endured it for 11 years, which is already her limit.
"Your Highness, do you mean that after Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has filled up the 12 coffers, she will ask Xiao Yi to start a rebellion?"
"It's entirely possible."
Xiao Mo showed a sneer on his face and continued, "The 12th small treasury has been deposited for the most part and will soon be full, but at this critical moment, Xiao Yi seems to be poisoned and listens to Ye Yanran in everything, and even has a rift with Imperial Noble Consort Dehui."
"Do you think she would be extremely anxious every day and wish to kill Ye Yanran?"
"It was these troubles that diverted the attention of Imperial Noble Consort Dehui. She has not bothered me in recent times."
“If it weren’t for Ye Yanran’s help to hold us back, we might have gone through 10 or 8 assassinations by now.”
"Your Highness is right. I didn't expect Ye Yanran to be so useful."
Ye Jintang quickly went over the original story again in his mind.
Although the original novel did not say how much silver Consort Dehui had, after Xiao Yi became the crown prince, he was able to quickly win over many important officials and force Emperor Jing to abdicate in a short period of time. It is unknown how much silver he spent, but it was definitely not a small amount.
After all, Emperor Jing had been on the throne for many years, and the imperial guards under his command were still very powerful. If Xiao Yi wanted to force him to abdicate, he would have to have an army that was more powerful than the imperial guards.
Xiao Mo almost went bankrupt by raising a few private soldiers, not to mention an army that was more powerful than the Imperial Guards. How much money would that cost?
Xiao Mo is worthy of being a prince. Ye Jintang feels that what he said makes sense.
"When we leave the capital, we will take away all the gold and silver that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui has stored. I wonder if Imperial Noble Consort Dehui will be so angry that she will faint."
"It's hard to say."
Xiao Mo, who was in a good mood, set his eyes on the little green snake.
"Jintang, what are you going to do with this little green snake? Do you want me to help you carry it to the inner room?"
Xiao Mo had good intentions and wanted Ye Jintang to overcome his fear of snakes as soon as possible.
The result was a big eye roll.
"I'd better take my time. Let the little green snake accompany the prince in the outer room today."
With that, Ye Jintang got up and left. It was getting light outside, so she decided to get some good sleep. Staying up late was not good for her skin.
The matter of Consort Dehui's treasury was put on hold for the time being. They would only take the next step after Ye Jintang overcame his fear of snakes.
While eating, Ye Jintang placed a small green snake next to him. When strolling in the garden, Liuli walked in front holding the small green snake.
When I was reciting medical books, the little green snake was placed on a small table not far away.
This went on for two days in a row and Ye Jintang felt like he was about to collapse.
As long as the little green snake is around, she can hardly concentrate on her work, as her attention will be drawn away by the little green snake at any time.
It’s strange to say, Ye Jintang was obviously scared to death of the little green snake, but the more scared she was, the more she liked to look at the little green snake.
This is really evil.
"Xuetuan, don't touch the little green snake."
Ye Jintang was reading a medical book in the inner room. When he looked up, he saw Xuetuan staring at the little green snake on the small table.
She shouted, but Xuetuan pretended not to hear her. He jumped onto the small table, picked up the bamboo cage and ran away.
Xuetuan loves to eat little green snakes. If it runs away, the little green snake will be in trouble.
Ye Jintang quickly put down the medical book and went to chase Xuetuan.
Xuetuan was full of brute strength. He held the bamboo cage in his mouth and walked around the house to avoid Ye Jintang's pursuit.
It waited for the right moment and prepared to jump out of the window beside Ye Jintang.
Ye Jintang had raised Xuetuan for such a long time, so naturally he saw through its little thoughts. He became anxious and reached out to grab the bamboo cage.
The small bamboo cage was extremely fragile. With just a little force from the man and the cat, the cage was torn apart.
Xuetuan couldn't stop the car and rushed out of the window.
The little green snake in the bamboo cage happened to fall on Ye Jintang's wrist.
The cold touch made Ye Jintang stunned on the spot, not daring to move.
She felt like her heart had stopped beating in fear.
"Liuli, Liuli."
Ye Jintang stood by the window, not daring to move. She stared at the little green snake hanging on her wrist.
At this moment, the little green snake didn't understand what was happening. It tried to raise its head to see what was happening around it.
The little green snake moved around, scaring Ye Jintang so much that his body trembled slightly.
But as luck would have it, Liuli was not in the outer room. Hearing Ye Jintang's scream, Xiao Mo, who had just entered the room, hurried into the inner room.
