Forging Goddess

Chapter 256

Even the Emperor's face showed some signs of unhappiness.

"Lier, you've never run a household before so you won't know how much it costs to build a house. Then I will ask someone from the Ministry of Revenue to stop by the Valiant Martial Manor to ascertain the damage in your manor and compensate you. "

The emperor suggested this compromised proposal.

The Empress immediately placed her heart in the east. Since the Emperor has already spoken, this poor girl should know when to stop!

However, Huang Yueli still shook her head, "How can we do that! If the Ministry of Revenue is going to come and check and only compensate three or five thousand taels, then what should I do? "

"You ... .. Three or five thousand taels is not enough? Who do you think you are? How dare you demand an exorbitant price before the Emperor? "

Huang Yueli patted her chest showing a terrified expression, as if she was surprised by the Queen's aggressive attitude.

"Your Majesty, the price I have stated is fair and reasonable! Do you know about this? When the Seventh Princess came to the manor, I was at the closed door cultivation in the study room and the courtyard had been arranged with a spirit array gathering the fourth level! This array was not only set using fourth level materials, it had to be pushed by fourth grade crystals before it could work! However, the Seventh Princess found a team of Gold Scale Guards and used all their strength to attack the ranks. Not only did they deplete all of the crystal energy, therefore, it also destroyed the array completely and all of the materials were unusable! "

"If I am going to bring fourth level materials to the auction house, it will be auctioned at least three hundred thousand gold taels! Not forgetting now that the array is broken, where will I find a high-level array master to help me set up another array? I only asked for compensation for the array materials, so I already gave a huge discount, okay! "

"This.....this....how can it be like this? "

The empress was stunned as grains of sweat started to form on her forehead.

If what Huang Yueli said was true, then Li Xueer would get hot soup this time!

Three hundred thousand taels of gold. If it had been two months ago, the Empress would have been able to come out with it. But since the Crown Prince was duped in the Thousand Treasure Pavilion earlier, he had taken all of his wealth to subsidize him and he had not much left.

This time.... Where will he find the money for compensation?

Just as the Empress was filled with anxiety, not knowing how to respond, suddenly a heavy coughing voice echoed from behind.

Immediately after, someone spoke, "Three Miss Bai, you are really good at cheating money, do you really need that much? From what I see, that's not the case? Didn't you, just a few days ago, just stole a large amount of treasure from the Royal Treasury? "

The one who spoke was the Imperial Tutor.

His voice sounded a bit hoarse because when the self-destruction mechanism in the Royal Treasury was activated, it quickly triggered the fire mechanism. The smoke produced was too much and since he was the first to break through, the ashes had bloated his throat causing a hoarse voice and to this day, he had yet to recover.

When Huang Yueli heard her voice, the side of her lips curved into a clear smile as she slowly turned around.

He knew that the Imperial Tutor would definitely not sit there just to watch the show!

He trapped him in the Royal Treasury so he would definitely take revenge!

Moreover, since the Royal Treasury had met with an accident, it was natural that the mastermind should be dug up. If the Imperial Tutor did not find trouble for him, it would be a strange occurrence in heaven!

Actually, the Imperial Tutor did think this way.

He had his own reasons for not creating trouble with Huang Yueli at the first moment.

The reason for that was because when he and the Crown Prince entered the Royal Treasury, they had yet to obtain permission from the Emperor.

To be honest, a few years ago, the Crown Prince and Imperial Tutor had conspired with another level four realm expert, who was in charge of protecting the Royal Treasury.

The Crown Prince needed a lot of resources if he wanted to cultivate then he had set his sights long in the Kingdom of Treasuries and had lured money from the Treasury.

Including the huge debt he had incurred from the Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he had stolen a portion of the Treasury before he could wipe it out completely.

The Imperial Tutor was worried that the Emperor would examine in detail the cause and effect, causing their plan to be known so he did not dare to speak directly about the matter first.

Her goal to perform today was first to see the empress bring up the difficult issues regarding Li Xueer's injury and after Huang Yueli was forced to admit her mistake, she said, he would then use this situation to his advantage and talk about the Royal Treasury incident.

This way, the Emperor had already shown his anger about Li Xueer's matter and in his mind, he had already regarded Huang Yueli as a bad person. So there was a high chance that he would not check the details that had happened in the Royal Treasury and directly punished Huang Yueli angrily!

Although the Imperial Tutor's scheme was complicated, but he never expected that its development would be so unfavorable.

First Huang Yueli managed to shut the Empress' mouth using Li Xueer's reputation as a bet since she did not dare to reveal the truth about it. From there, he managed to turn things around, not only clearing his innocence, and in turn painting Li Xueer as a villain, uncovering his evil ways in front of everyone and for himself .... He has turned into the most innocent party in the world that is bullied by everyone.

In this way, the Imperial Tutor's scheme completely came to a halt.

If things like this continued, Huang Yueli would then manage to get out of this evil and make the Empress pay a huge compensation.

The Imperial Tutor could no longer remain silent and struggled to speak first.

"Bai Ruoli, even if the Seventh Princess's injury was not caused directly by you! What about the problem that happened in the Treasury a few days ago? How are you going to explain about that? "

Huang Yueli stared blankly as she said, "Imperial Tutor Master, I don't understand what you mean? Why are you all trying to fabricate something unreasonable to slander me? What happened at the Royal Treasury? And what does that have to do with me? "

"Stop denying!" The Imperial Tutor sneered, "A few days ago, the black-clothed bodyguard beside you had broken into the Royal Treasury in a massive manner to steal the treasures in the Treasury. In the end I discovered this and seeing that you can't escape, you vacated the Treasury Department and made the entire Treasury Department collapse! "

"Now because of the two of you, all the spirit stones and magical beast cores have been buried underground and God knows how long we will need to get them all out! Our Royal Treasury is now completely empty! And the main mastermind is you - Bai Ruoli! "

The Imperial Tutor's face was serious and his tone was severe. When he spoke, he held his chest in agitation and even his beard was sticking out.

When the Emperor heard this, his hands trembled as he smashed the teacup onto the ground.

"What's? Imperial Tutor, you mean.... The destruction of the Royal Treasury was done by Lier? How did that happen? Why would he go and steal from the Royal Treasury? And how could he possibly destroy the Royal Treasury? "

The Imperial Tutor raised the sign as his expression sank.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago after the Treasury Department was buried in the ground, you have questioned me several times and I have remained silent. That was because this entire matter was simply too unimaginable. If it wasn't for the fact that I had witnessed it personally, I wouldn't have believed it either. And this careless thief was actually Bai Ruoli! "

The Emperor could not believe his ears and hurriedly asked, "Imperial Tutor, what happened?"

The Imperial Tutor glanced at Huang Yueli and continued, "Yesterday when the Crown Prince and I were walking back to the palace, we saw a suspicious figure from afar. We were worried this guy hatched an evil plot, so we followed him. We never thought that his goal was the Royal Treasury! In addition, he also killed several Gold-Scale Guards and smuggled them into the Treasury. "

"The Crown Prince and I immediately chased after him and had a big fight with him. Just as the thief was about to be taken down, Bai Ruoli appeared! In addition to using cunning moves, he also activated the mechanism in the Treasury! We then realized that this thief was instigated by Bai Ruoli to steal the items in the Royal Treasury! "

"Bai Ruoli realized that she could not defeat us and tried to escape, but we blindly. Out of desperation, not knowing how he managed to do so but he actually activated the self-destruction mechanism! Some of us were almost buried alive inside and could barely escape a few inches! However, all the treasures in the Treasury were all buried underground! "

When the Imperial Tutor described it, his expression was filled with sadness and anger.

"Your Majesty, you have always treated Miss Bai quite well, but she actually replied to you in this way! He's really doing sneaky things behind your back! Moreover, when he realized that he was unable to bear the responsibility, he actually buried all the treasures our kingdom had accumulated for several hundred years! It just wants our kingdom destroyed! "

His words seemed devoted to the truth that inspired reverence and for a moment, the Emperor was terrified.

The Emperor's eyes widened in shock as he rampaged, "That kind of thing really happened? No wonder when you and the Crown Prince escaped from the Treasury Department, you were both severely injured! "

The Emperor turned around and interrogated Huang Yueli, "Bai Ruoli, what the Imperial Tutor said, is that true?"

A cold glint flashed past Huang Yueli's eyes.

The Imperial Tutor acts as a thief who summons thieves! They were obviously luring Mo Yi into the Royal Treasury but making it seem like he was there to steal!

Such a story was somewhat plausible but unfortunately no matter how well the story flowed, in Huang Yueli's eyes, it was filled with gaps!

Moreover, Huang Yueli had already estimated that the Tutor Master and the Crown Prince had already conspired with the guards in the Treasury Department. Otherwise, how could they freely debit the Royal Treasury and even set up a trap to capture Mo Yi! Even ghosts wouldn't believe this!

Originally, the Imperial Tutor and Crown Prince had already been fixed by Huang Yueli to such a terrible condition and because he was busy with his cultivation so he had no time to hit them when they came down.

But who would have thought that the Imperial Tutor had so much guts. Even after being fixed by him so many times, he had yet to learn his lesson and still dared to splash dirty water on him!

Since that's the case, then don't blame him for not standing at the ceremony!

Just hope that the Imperial Tutor and the Crown Prince won't come crying and begging him!

Huang Yueli giggled coldly and replied, "Imperial Tutor, please answer your words! That day, the Crown Prince went to the Thousand Treasure Pavilion to destroy my shop. Besides that he also took out over ten boxes of items! My bodyguard, Mo Yi was chasing them to take back the items which is why he followed the Crown Prince's army all the way to the Royal Treasury! "

"The Crown Prince abused his status to buy things without paying, which had already raised eyebrows and the strangest thing was that he had actually moved those items to the Royal Treasury! I find it strange why the Crown Prince would head to the Royal Treasury instead? This is the national Treasurer of the Southern Yue Kingdom and not the Crown Prince, your personal Treasurer! "

When the Crown Prince heard these words, he was swaying on the palanquin as if he was trying to get up, pointing his finger at his nose to scold him.
