My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 212 Why do you have to be so stubborn?

Zhao Hongyu and Eunuch Chen looked up at the same time after hearing the voice, only to see Wan Sutong squatting on the branch above their heads like a monkey, which made them both sneer at the same time.

Wan Sutong smiled and looked down at Zhao Hongyu. "I'm coming down. You have to catch me." Then he jumped up.

Zhao Hongyu chuckled and caught Wan Sutong steadily. "When did you come?"

Wan Sutong stuck out her tongue playfully and said, "I saw Eunuch Chen left the table, so I followed him."

When Eunuch Chen heard this, he exclaimed, "The Regent Princess is so powerful that I didn't even notice someone following me."

Wan Sutong looked at Zhao Hongyu with some doubt, "Didn't you notice it? Or do you not need to tell me these things behind my back?"

Zhao Hongyu shook his head innocently. "With my current cultivation level, how can I detect you, my lady, who is at the semi-god level? Besides, if you heard what I said just now, it might be disadvantageous to me."

Wan Sutong puffed up her chest proudly upon hearing this, and then said in a proud tone, "That's right, I absorbed the golden elixir you gave me, and now I am a ninth-level demigod. I should be able to ascend in a year and three months!"

Zhao Jinghua, who was far away in the palace, heard this and his pupils shrank suddenly. Then he took a sip of tea from the cup beside him with slightly trembling hands. The palace maid saw Zhao Jinghua's trembling hands and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong with you, Regent? Do you need to call the imperial physician?"

Zhao Jinghua lowered his eyes for a moment and then calmed down and said, "No need."

At this time, Wan Sutong saw that 0533 and the other two were silent, so she raised her hand and rubbed Zhao Hongyu's cheek. "What's wrong? Aren't you happy?"

Zhao Hongyu suppressed the sadness in his eyes and smiled softly, "Of course I'm happy for you."

Wan Sutong smiled happily after hearing this and said, "By the way, I also know all the skills you know."

Zhao Hongyu heard this and nodded with a smile, "Very good."

Eunuch Chen smiled kindly at this time and said, "There are very few people in this world who have such high understanding at your age, and even fewer who have reached the ninth level of demigod. Congratulations in advance."

Wan Sutong was very excited and smiled sweetly at Eunuch Chen. "Thank you." After saying that, Wan Sutong changed her face faster than turning the pages of a book. "Husband, why did you kill Eunuch Chen?"

0533 Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "Host, this system suddenly remembered something. Have you forgotten what you said about Eunuch Chen when you first saw him?"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Chen asked with a hint of doubt, "Does your first impression of me seem to be that of a cunning old man?"

0533 Hearing what Eunuch Chen said, he shook his head repeatedly. It was obvious that he was no longer surprised that people other than Wan Sutong could see him. "No, no, no, she said that you were so serious that it was scary. I had the second half of the sentence. I was asking her why she wasn't afraid of you anymore."

Eunuch Chen smiled amiably after hearing this and said, "I think the first time I met you was also in the Prime Minister's Residence. When did you come here...Oh, yes! It has been eight years since the day when Your Majesty ascended the throne."

Upon hearing this, Wan Sutong created a soundproof barrier, then nudged Zhao Hongyu's arm with his elbow, his tone full of mockery, "Oh, I just remembered that eight years ago, you schemed to help him ascend the throne, and now he is about to hand over the country to someone else. If you hadn't come back to life, you would only have a posthumous title, Emperor Jingren! Oh, what did you want in the first place? Just a posthumous title? Why didn't you just kill him?" These words were so sharp that Zhao Hongyu and Eunuch Chen were silent after hearing them.

At the same time, Zhao Jinghua sneered and looked up at the dim moonlight outside the window. After a moment, he said to himself speechlessly, "I was so stupid at the beginning that I thought my parents loved me sincerely."

Wan Sutong looked at Zhao Hongyu again at this time and said, "You are the only one who has Zhao Hongyu's memory. Are you afraid that you can't govern Zhao Kingdom well?"

Zhao Hongyu chuckled and shook his head. "I only remembered it the day after you came out of seclusion, Madam."

Wan Sutong heard this and looked at 0533, "Quick, I want to see the picture."

Zhao Hongyu heard this and held Wan Sutong's hand. "Sutong, don't look at it. It's enough that you know that I thought of it that day."

Upon hearing this, Wan Sutong immediately looked at Zhao Hongyu suspiciously, "Did you do anything to offend me that day?"

Zhao Hongyu shook his head helplessly, "How could that be?" As soon as he finished speaking, 0533 said, "Host, you really misunderstood. It's your husband who is a bit miserable. Are you sure you want to see it?"

Wan Sutong looked at Eunuch Chen when he heard this. Seeing Eunuch Chen sigh and nod, Wan Sutong became even more curious. Eunuch Chen thought that Wan Sutong could see other people's memories like Zhao Jinghua, but unexpectedly, a twelve-inch long and nine-inch wide image appeared in front of the three of them the next second.

In the picture, Zhao Jinghua was lying on the couch and slowly opened his eyes. However, his eyes were bloodshot as if he had not slept all night.

Zhao Jinghua slowly got up from the couch, but just as he stepped behind the screen, his legs suddenly went limp and he fell to the ground. A trace of panic appeared in Zhao Jinghua's eyes. He seemed to have used all his strength to support himself with his arms. Not long after, he vomited a large mouthful of dark purple sticky blood. His pupils gradually blurred and the next moment he could no longer support himself with his arms and fell to the ground.

At this time, Zhou Lang heard the sound and pushed the door open and walked in. When he saw Zhao Jinghua lying on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrank. He hurried forward to transfer spiritual power to Zhao Jinghua, "Master! Wake up! Master!"

Zhou Lang called out to Zhao Jinghua while transferring spiritual energy to him. Seeing that Gu Ming had not woken up yet, Zhou Lang was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. Then he used his trembling hands to feel Zhao Jinghua's breathing, but before his hand could reach Zhao Jinghua's nose, Zhao Jinghua slowly woke up. Seeing this, Zhou Lang hurriedly helped Zhao Jinghua up and helped him sit on the couch. "Go call the imperial physician!" After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Zhao Jinghua quickly raised his hand and held his wrist. When he spoke, his voice was so hoarse that it was almost impossible to hear what he was saying, "No need. Help me change my clothes and help me go to Taichu Palace."

Zhou Lang heard this and retorted anxiously, "Why are you going to Taichu Temple in your current state? I'm afraid you'll be killed halfway before you even get there!"

Zhao Jinghua didn't get angry after hearing this, but chuckled and said, "Nothing." Zhao Jinghua was about to stand up. Zhou Lang frowned and helped him up helplessly. He walked behind the screen and put on the loose court robe for him. When he tied the belt, Zhou Lang sighed, "This court robe doesn't fit you anymore. You're so skinny!"

Zhao Jinghua sighed softly and said helplessly, "Alright, I have heard you say this every day for the past year. How about you just treat today as my last day and let me have some peace and quiet?" Then he walked away.

Zhou Lang frowned even more when he heard this. "You!" At this point, Zhou Lang shook his head and then stopped talking.

But at this moment, when Zhao Jinghua stepped over the threshold of the bedroom, he became unsteady and fell backwards. Fortunately, Zhou Lang quickly stepped forward to steady him and prevented him from falling to the ground. "Why do you have to be so stubborn?" Zhou Lang sighed and helped Zhao Jinghua sit on a wooden chair beside him.

At this point, 0533 shrugged and said, "You have seen the host behind before, so this system will skip it for you."
