Chapter 624: Nangong Goes Berserk 8

"Lately, my hands have been a bit tight for money." Su Luo looked at him with a beaming smile.

Su Luo knew that both Nangong Liuyun and Emperor Jing had stubborn tempers; neither was willing to admit defeat. If they continued to argue, it would be a lose-lose situation, which would instead benefit the Crown Prince.

Therefore, she engaged in some playful banter to steer the matter back to the main topic.

Nangong Liuyun left Emperor Jing's side and walked over to Su Luo. Folding his arms, he gave the Crown Prince a nonchalant sidelong glance. "Can you pay it back now?"

"I…" I can't afford to pay… The Crown Prince wanted to cry but had no tears. His eyes darted between the Empress and Emperor Jing.

After deducting those industrial loss fees, he still had to repay over two thousand crystal stones. Even killing him wouldn't be enough to pay it off.

"Don't you have a Treasure Pavilion? You can use other Spirit Treasures to offset the debt." Su Luo's eyes sparkled brightly.

She really wanted to take the Little Divine Dragon to go scouting for hidden treasures.

Nangong Liuyun nodded. "That would also work."

At this moment, Emperor Jing was extremely annoyed with Nangong Liuyun. Seeing him and that Stinky Girl teaming up again to bully his Crown Prince, he had a momentary lapse in judgment and suddenly blurted out, "His Treasure Pavilion is worth crap! If you have the ability, go to the Imperial Treasure Pavilion!"

Hearing this, the Crown Prince was simply overjoyed. He quickly ran over and hugged Emperor Jing's thigh. "Imperial Father, your son thanks you! For your life-saving grace, your son will serve you as an ox or a horse in the next life to repay you!"

Emperor Jing was a bit dazed… In fact, the meaning he wanted to express wasn't to tell Nangong Liuyun and the others to go to the Imperial Treasure Pavilion, but rather to despise the Crown Prince's Treasure Pavilion for being too small.

Over two thousand green crystal stones was not a small amount; even Emperor Jing himself couldn't produce them at a moment's notice.

Emperor Jing wanted to explain, but he realized that if he did, what would happen to his imperial dignity?

Emperor Jing glared fiercely at the Crown Prince, his inner rage surging upward.

First, Nangong Liuyun disobeyed him and didn't treat him like an Emperor.

Now, even the Crown Prince was坑ing his own father, calculating against him in every possible way.

Emperor Jing glared at the Crown Prince huffily but couldn't say words of refusal; this feeling was particularly stifling.

Upon hearing this, Su Luo's eyes instantly lit up.

Indeed, as the Emperor said, compared to the Imperial Treasure Pavilion, the Crown Prince's collection simply wasn't worth looking at.

If she had to choose, she would naturally choose this Imperial Treasure Pavilion.

Thus, Su Luo spoke with feigned composure, "The Emperor wants to help the Crown Prince pay? That can certainly be considered."

Nangong Liuyun had been paying attention to Su Luo's expression all along; how could he not understand her thoughts?

Therefore, Nangong Liuyun, who had always been at odds with the Crown Prince, suddenly became in cahoots with him.

He rubbed his chin and looked at Emperor Jing with a frown. "Imperial Father is willing to settle this debt for the Crown Prince?"

Without waiting for Emperor Jing's answer, Nangong Liuyun nodded nonchalantly. "For the sake of Imperial Father's Face, it can only be so. We can't exactly watch the current Crown Prince be driven to death, can we? After all, he is this Prince's elder brother."

Emperor Jing's expression changed slightly. He wanted to speak, only to find that Nangong Liuyun was already leading Su Luo by the hand toward the Imperial Treasure Pavilion.

Emperor Jing suddenly snapped back to his senses and shouted at Nangong Liuyun's back, "You, stop right there!"

However, Nangong Liuyun walked away without even turning his head.

"What do you plan to do about Li Yaoyao's matter?!" Emperor Jing was uncertain; he had indeed agreed to this marriage.

"What else can be done? Whoever agreed to the marriage should be the one to marry her." Nangong Liuyun threw out these words decisively and then led Su Luo further away.

However, these words made Emperor Jing so angry he almost collapsed backward.

Can this brat say something human? His childhood sweetheart, and he wants me to marry her?
