Chapter 1531: Chapter 1530: Cornucopia Spits Out Ideas_1

Tong Sanlang’s emotions also became excited as he spoke; he was not acting–he genuinely had such worries.

The trip to Yuhu made him realize there were stronger people out there, and now that he was invalid, if a master were to kidnap Qiao Xiaomai, he would go insane.

His health was poor, and with his emotions becoming so agitated, the pain in his chest immediately spread throughout his body. He furrowed his brow as the pain twisted his face, his body curled into a ball, and cold sweat even broke out on his forehead.

Qiao Xiaomai was startled and quickly went to support him, “Sanlang, what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong with you?! Imperial physician, hurry, call the imperial physician!”

Yang Wenxiao was also startled by him and hurriedly shouted along, “Quickly summon the imperial physician!”

“I, I’m fine…” Tong Sanlang grasped Qiao Xiaomai’s arm, trying hard to ignore the pain in his body. He looked at Yang Wenxiao with a pallid face, “Retired Emperor, you must protect Xiaomai well.”

“Alright, alright, I’ll protect her, I’ll protect her. Don’t get agitated, don’t get agitated, stay steady, stay steady,” Yang Wenxiao quickly waved his hands and even instructed the palace maids to hurry and pour a cup of water for Tong Sanlang.

Qiao Xiaomai took the cup and quietly replaced the water in the cup with Spiritual Spring water, then carefully fed it to Tong Sanlang.

After drinking a cup of Spiritual Spring water, the pain was much relieved, and his complexion also returned to normal. Seeing this, Qiao Xiaomai set down the teacup and took out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe his sweat, “Look at you, am I not standing here fine? What are you getting so worked up about?”

Her tone contained blame but was mostly worry.

Tong Sanlang smiled weakly, “I was anxious in my heart.”

Anxiety overcomes reason, and his body was already uncomfortable. With this sudden anxiety, he really caused a mess.

“There’s no need to worry, the Retired Emperor will send someone to protect me well,” Qiao Xiaomai said.

“Exactly, with me around, no one can touch her. Let’s do this, from now on, you and your husband shall stay in Da’an Palace. Whenever this affair blows over, that’s when you can return to Qiao Residence,” Yang Wenxiao said.

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

This would be like walking into the lion’s den.

She had only come to seek Yang Wenxiao’s protection; she definitely had no intention of moving.

“Retired Emperor, I still have many Floral Dew orders to fulfill…” she began.

“That’s not urgent; you can make them in the Imperial Kitchen. Rest assured, I won’t let anyone steal your recipes,” Yang Wenxiao said.

“But the cattle and sheep I’ve been raising…”

“Don’t worry, bring them to the Palace; the pigsty we built before hasn’t been taken down yet.”

“But I still want to check on the watermelons and crayfish…”

“When the time comes, the Divine Crossbow Team will escort you there.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

Right, all excuses have been blocked.

Like a sheep entering the mouth of a wolf, like a sheep entering the mouth of a wolf!

“This matter is settled,” Yang Wenxiao said, seeing she had no more reasons, his decision was final.

Soon, the imperial physician arrived, and they took Tong Sanlang’s pulse. Tong Sanlang was just overly anxious, which led them to prescribe a few medicines, and then they left.

Yang Wenxiao sent someone to Qiao Residence to pack their belongings. The rooms in the inner hall had always been vacant, with people cleaning them daily, so Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang could move in directly.

By the time the palace maids delivered the luggage of Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang, Gao Lian had also returned.

He had already found out that, indeed, there were rumors in the Capital City saying that Qiao Xiaomai’s ability to earn so much silver was all because she had a treasure basin. This treasure basin didn’t spew out silver; it spewed out fresh ideas.

Qiao Xiaomai had been exchanging these fresh ideas for silver, gradually becoming a living god of wealth.
