After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure

617 She’s the true winner

The room suddenly turned bright from the darkness and shocked everyone.

Shi Qingluo was also a little nervous.

Then she heard her young husband’s voice, “Don’t be afraid. This is caused by the mechanism.

“Once the door is opened, it will trigger the mechanism inside and light up the torches on the wall.”

He had studied the Qimen Dunjia for a long time, so he knew about this type of mechanism.

When Shi Qingluo heard his voice, her nervousness dissipated. “I see.”

The others also heard Xiao Hanzheng’s words and could not help but feel relieved.

They had almost thought that there was a ghost inside.

The princess of the previous dynasty and Prince Jin still sent their people in to investigate.

Then they heard their breathing sound.

Since they were fine, Prince Jin and the princess from the previous dynasty also brought the rest in.

After entering, many people couldn’t help but gasp.

When Shi Qingluo went in and took a look, she understood why these people reacted like this.

This was because the place was very big—a few hundred square meters.

It was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain, calligraphy, and paintings.

It was really a huge treasure.

She had long heard that the late emperor of the previous dynasty had always plundered the commenners’ wealth.

He loved to collect gold, silver, jewelry, and all kinds of precious treasures, and his private warehouse was full of them.

However, when the Daliang Army invaded the palace, they did not realize that these treasures had already been moved here.

With so much wealth, even Prince Jin, who knew so much about the outside world, was surprised.

With this amount of money, he would be able to recruit soldiers and buy horses, and his chances of success would be greater.

He thought for a moment, and he looked at the princess in front of him and smiled, “Yingying, your imperial father really has foresight. He left behind so much gold, silver, and precious stones.”

The princess from the previous dynasty smiled at him. “Thank you for your praise, Yujun!”

She walked forward and casually picked up a pearl necklace.

The pearls were round, big, and shiny. With one look, one could tell that they weren’t ordinary.

This pearl necklace was just casually thrown on the box, which meant that it was not very precious here.

The princess from the previous dynasty still had some memories of her childhood.

Her father had always collected precious things.

Then she bent down to open a box, which was full of gold pearls.

The boxes beside her were filled with black pearls.

She opened another box at the back. It was filled with jewelry and accessories carved from thousand-year-old red coral.

The crowd also realized that the gold, silver, and jewelry that were randomly piled on the ground were nothing at all. The ones in the box were even rarer and more valuable.

Shi Qingluo estimated that there were a few hundred boxes here.

She thought to herself, after knowing that there were so many treasures, will Prince Jin and the previous dynasty’s princess still split them according to their previous agreement?

Would they start fighting?

Then, the princess closed the box and said softly, “Yujun, do you think you have the right to take forty percent?”

Liang Yujun was not surprised that the princess from the previous dynasty wanted to go back on her word, because he also had the thought of pocketing the treasure for himself.

“Then how do you want to split it?” he asked with a smile.

The princess from the previous dynasty looked at him and said, “You don’t even have the right to take ten percent.”

Liang Yujun laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke. “Yingying, are you intending to keep it all to yourself?”

“The treasures here originally belonged to our previous dynasty,” the princess from the previous dynasty said with conviction.

Liang Yujun looked at her sarcastically. “The current ruler of the world has the last name Liang, so this happens to be what I want to tell you.

“The previous dynasty has long since become a thing of the past. You are the one who is the least qualified to take the treasures here.”

The princess from the previous dynasty sneered, “Is that so? Then let’s see who is qualified to take it.”

Liang Yujun also sneered. “I think so too.”

As a result, both sides attacked each other at the same time.

It was obvious that both of them were prepared to own the treasure themselves.

Xiao Hanzheng gave Shi Qingluo a look and led her away from the chaotic battle.

They stood in a corner to watch the show.

“Which side do you think will win?” Shi Qingluo deliberately asked him.

“I don’t think either of them will win,” Xiao Hanzheng said meaningfully.

Shi Qingluo pretended to be surprised and asked, “Then who else will win? Or should I say that both sides will lose?”

The two of them did not lower their voices, and they were in an empty inner room, so their voices echoed.

Thus, other than the sounds of fighting, everyone could hear the conversation between the two.

Liang Yujun, who was holding a sword but did not personally go up to fight, looked at Xiao Hanzheng.

“Mr Xiao, don’t you think I will win?” he asked.

“Your Highness, don’t you know that when the mantis stalks the cicada, it is unaware of the oriole behind it?” Xiao Hanzheng asked.

The princess from the previous dynasty turned to look at Xiao Hanzheng. “Do you mean that Prince Jin and I are like the mantis and the cicada?”

“Princess, you’re really smart,” Xiao Hanzheng sneered. “No wonder my wife has admired you for a long time.”

The princess from the previous dynasty was speechless.

Who cares about your wife’s admiration?

She raised her eyebrows. “Don’t tell me you’re the oriole.”

Xiao Hanzheng shook his head. “That’s not true.”

“But you can ask your good daughter about this,” he added. “She’s the true winner.”

The princess from the previous dynasty was taken aback.

She looked at Zhuo Jun in confusion.

Zhou Jun was also surprised. “I don’t know what Xiao Hanzheng is talking about.”

Xiao Hanzheng looked at Zhuo Jun. “Princess, is there any point in playing dumb at this point?”

Upon hearing this form of address, Prince Jin and the previous dynasty’s princess were a little confused. Princess?

They were not surprised that Xiao Hanzheng knew that Zhou Jun was disguised as a man, but they didn’t understand how they addressed Zhou Jun.

Then they suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that Xiao Hanzheng had misunderstood that Zhuo Jun was the biological daughter of Prince Jin? That was why he had addressed her as princess.

Otherwise, she would only be a county princess according to her status as a princess’s daughter.

Liang Yujun laughed. “Mr Xiao, you might have misunderstood. She’s not my daughter.”

Xiao Hanzheng raised his eyebrows. “Your Highness, I’m not referring to you.”

“What do you mean? Are you going to tell me that Zhou Jun’s father is also a prince?”

“Zhou Jun can’t be the daughter of my bastard younger brother right?” He asked with his eyes wide open.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were speechless.

Prince Jin’s dirty water was really dirty. How could he have associated this with Prince Yi?

Shi Qingluo chuckled. “What are you thinking? My stepfather-in-law is much better than you.

“Zhou Jun is the daughter of the North Prince of the Ge Kingdom. It’s normal that you don’t know about it.”

She looked at the princess and said, “I wonder if the princess knows about this.”

Her young husband had shared with her this secret when they were discussing about Ge Chunru’s mother, who was the secondary consort of the North Prince.

The princess from the previous dynasty was stunned. “How is that possible? ”

Obviously, she did not know either.

Suddenly, there was a burst of applause at the door.

Then, they saw a bearded middle-aged man walk in with a group of people.

He was dressed in the Ge Kingdom’s style.

Liang Yujun narrowed his eyes and looked at him, “North Prince?”

Although he had battled with the North Prince’s armies several times after coming to the northern border, he had never seen him in person.

His people had found out that the North Prince had disguised himself as a merchant and sneaked into Northern City, and that he was also the leader of the other caravan.

Now, he understood what was happening. From the start, his people had been fooled by the North Prince.

They had completely investigated in the wrong direction.
