Chapter 111: Gu Lingshuang's ability to make money is more than the annual income of the nation
"How insolent! Who do you think you are to deserve me to pay you respect?" The prince was so angry that he roared at Gu Lingshuang regardless of the consequences.
Gu Lingshuang glanced at him indifferently.
Such an idiot is worthy of being the crown prince? It's ridiculous.
If he was not the queen's son, if he was not the eldest son, the position of crown prince would never have been his.
Gu Lingshuang would never argue with a fool.
Just because she doesn't care doesn't mean Xiao Ziming doesn't care.
Xiao Ziming's face was terribly gloomy.
"Prince, be careful what you say."
The prince has always looked down on Xiao Ziming.
Obviously he was a waste, he didn't understand why his father was so partial to Xiao Ziming.
Xiao Ziming is only the emperor's younger brother, and he is the emperor's son. Is the emperor senile? He doesn't help his own son, but helps an outsider.
The prince felt pain all over his body and his temper became more and more irritable.
He glared at Xiao Ziming and cursed, "You can't even control your own woman, what qualifications do you have to control me?"
"How outrageous!" the emperor was furious.
He slammed the table and said, "Kneel down for me."
The prince looked at the emperor in disbelief.
"Father, what have I done wrong? Mother, I, and the Minister of War have all been plotted against. Shouldn't you be the one to make the decision for us? Why are you still helping Xiao Ziming and Gu Lingshuang?"
"We have become like this because of these two people. If Father doesn't believe me, you can ask him."
He pointed to the man kneeling on the ground.
The man kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, it was indeed Princess Xiaoyao who killed someone."
"Yesterday, I and a group of people were ordered by the Minister of War to patrol Shengjing City. On the way, we encountered the carriage of Prince Xiao's Mansion. Because we did not avoid the carriage in time, Princess Xiaoyao killed our people. Only I escaped. Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for the Minister of War and me."
As he spoke, he kowtowed to the emperor.
Gu Lingshuang raised her eyebrows.
It turns out that they had already thought of an excuse.
As the capital was the seat of the emperor, the city of Shengjing was patrolled every seven days to prevent lawless elements from causing chaos.
The people who patrol the city are appointed by the Minister of War.
The Minister of War took the opportunity of patrolling the city to assassinate her.
What a good calculation.
Unfortunately, his wishful thinking was wrong. She killed all the people who tried to assassinate her, leaving only one alive.
After the servant finished speaking, Gu Lingshuang said slowly, "Oh? So, the prince means that I can kill more than a dozen trained soldiers by myself?"
"Of course." The prince was very sure: "Why don't you kneel down and admit your crime?"
Gu Lingshuang spread her hands and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, listen to how ridiculous this is. How can I, a weak woman who doesn't even know martial arts, kill more than a dozen people? If I could really kill more than a dozen soldiers, I would have to suspect that the people in charge of the Minister of War are all useless, otherwise how could they not even be able to beat a weak woman like me."
"I'm very curious about how the Minister of War trained his soldiers to be like this. If they were to go to the battlefield, wouldn't our Great Xia Kingdom be in danger?"
When the Queen and the Crown Prince heard this, they felt a pang in their hearts.
Damn it, they were so focused on killing Gu Lingshuang that they forgot this.
This is simply a fatal injury.
They were also very curious about what method Gu Lingshuang used to be able to fight ten people alone.
Xiao Ziming took a sip of tea and looked at Gu Lingshuang with eyes full of doting.
He knew that she would be able to resolve the crisis, and sure enough, she did not disappoint him.
Even the emperor looked up to Gu Lingshuang.
The emperor could see the strangeness of this matter and roughly guessed that those people must have been killed by Gu Lingshuang.
Although Gu Lingshuang doesn't know martial arts, she has a musket in her hand.
With a musket in hand, killing a dozen people is a piece of cake.
However, only a few people know about the musket at present, and the queen and the prince do not know about it.
"Your Highness, do you still think that a weak woman like me killed a dozen soldiers?"
"You...you..." The prince stuttered and couldn't speak.
The queen still refused to give up: "If you say it's not you, then it's not you? Do you have evidence? We have witnesses here."
The queen looked at the person kneeling on the ground and asked, "Do you think it was Princess Xiaoyao who did it?"
The servant kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I saw it with my own eyes. It was indeed Princess Xiaoyao who did it."
Gu Lingshuang said calmly, "You have witnesses, and I have witnesses too. Your Majesty can summon my personal maid Xia He to come in. I didn't kill anyone on my way back to the palace yesterday."
"Your maid is naturally speaking in your favor, so how can she be considered a witness?"
Gu Lingshuang snorted coldly: "Then I also have to suspect that this person was bribed by the Queen and the Crown Prince to deliberately frame me."
"How dare you." The Queen was furious. She pointed at Gu Lingshuang and scolded, "How dare you even doubt me? You are committing a crime of disrespect. Why don't you kneel down?"
Gu Lingshuang looked at her speechlessly, rolled her eyes at her, and stood there motionless.
The queen was furious, but because the emperor was there, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
The queen could only look at Xiao Ziming and said, "This is the princess you married. She is useless except for causing trouble for the royal family."
Gu Lingshuang didn't like to hear this.
She admitted that she caused trouble to the royal family, but she would not admit that she was useless.
Gu Lingshuang looked at the queen: "Then please tell me why I am useless."
When the queen heard this, she felt contemptuous.
What an idiot he was, letting her speak up.
Then she would list them out one by one to see how this bitch Gu Lingshuang could still have the face to be a bitch.
"First of all, as a woman, it is inappropriate for you to show your face in public. You have no shame, but I, the royal family, still have some dignity."
"Oh, Queen, you mean my business?"
"Yes, among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants are the lowest class. As a princess, you are in league with the treacherous Shang Ren. You are simply a disgrace to our royal family."
"As the saying goes, people go to higher places and water flows to lower places. You are of noble status but you have fallen into depravity. You are not worthy of marrying into the royal family at all."
"If you had any shame, you would have taken the initiative to divorce and die to atone for your sins. How can you have the nerve to continue living?"
The queen went further and further, throwing Gu Lingshuang into the mud.
Gu Lingshuang sneered: "Your Majesty, does the Queen look down on businessmen so much?"
"Of course, no one in the world would look down on a businessman."
Gu Lingshuang smiled maliciously: "Then I will let Her Majesty see what kind of benefits the merchants have brought to the royal family."
"Haha." The queen sneered: "Benefits? Merchants are all lowly people. My Great Xia country has always valued agriculture over commerce. Merchants are good for nothing except being treacherous."
Gu Lingshuang stopped talking nonsense with her and directly took out a thick stack of silver bills from his arms.
She placed the banknote on the table.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
The emperor was a little puzzled. He picked up the silver bills and counted them.
By the time I finished counting, my hands were shaking a little.
"One million taels?"
"Yes, it is one million taels. This is your Majesty's share for the entire day yesterday."
Gu Lingshuang's words stunned everyone present.
"You can earn one million taels a day?" The emperor's voice trembled.
Gu Lingshuang shook her head: "No."
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.
They said that no one could make a million taels in a day, let alone in a year.
The national treasury's annual revenue was only 10 million taels of silver, and it took the efforts of the entire country.
It is impossible for Gu Lingshuang, a mere woman, to earn such a horrifying sum of one million taels in one day.
