Chapter 940: For Real?
Before Gu Chaoyan said those words, the King had not expected that Gu Chaoyan would contribute to the national storage like the Imperial Master. After all, Gu Chaoyan did not need his shelter like the Imperial Master. However, before he received the ultimate answer, he had thought that he might be reputable enough to make her change her mind. Therefore, he felt slightly greedy inside his heart.
However, when Gu Chaoyan put forward her intention straightforwardly, the King felt slightly displeased.
Despite his displeasure, he was not going to say anything straightforwardly. After all, she was the owner of the Luo’s, and there had never been any rules among the four countries that civilians should not start a business transnationally. Actually, the trading between the four countries had been very frequent.
It would be totally reasonable, if she intended to keep the Luo’s, but if she intended to close it, it would be a huge loss for him.
The Imperial Master was not a very down-to-earth person, but he was the person that benefited from his business. The Imperial Master’s income was all attributed to the national storage. However, right now, the Imperial Master was taken back to the prison of the Ministry of Personnel instead of gaining any profits.
The King was feeling really stifled inside.
“However…” Gu Chaoyan added as if looking very confused.
The King’s eyes brightened up as he looked at Gu Chaoyan. He wondered what other plan she might have in her mind.
“However, I would still love to contribute half of the profits of the Luo’s to the national storage of the Feather Mulberry Land. Well, I am not doing this for any personal reason, but for the sake of Prince Muyi. I am doing this for the civilians of the Feather Mulberry Land,” Gu Chaoyan said, sounding hesitant.
The King looked really confused and surprised.
Muyi?
“How is it related to Muyi?” The King asked curiously.
“That is a long story. Back in the Saint Divine Land, when Prince Muyi and the Imperial Master visited us, they came to my Yellow Crane in the Saint Divine Land. Yellow Crane is the most famous and biggest restaurant in the capital.”
“…”
“The Imperial Master of yours is an ambitious man. He had some plan of his own for Yellow Crane, but it wasn’t easy for him to do anything about it, and the Imperial Master has offended many people from the imperial family of the Saint Divine Land.”
“…”
“My restaurant became the biggest restaurant in the capital, thanks to the complicated connections behind it.”
“…”
“Prince Muyi was worried that the Imperial Master would have made the diplomatic relationship between the two countries worse, so he decided to send the Imperial Master back home. However, the Imperial Master developed a grudge against me, so he took out a dagger and wanted to have me killed when no one was around. Luckily, Prince Muyi acted fast and saved me.”
“…”
“If not for Prince Muyi, I might have been harmed badly. So I owed Prince Muyi a favor.”
The King’s face went through many changes during the process.
“Lady Chaoyan, are you sure?” the King asked.
“Of course, Lord Huai and Lord Yu, as well as the lineal daughter of General Liu know all about this. None of what I said was false.” Gu Chaoyan answered seriously.
Well none of what she told was actually true, but Gu Chaoyan stressed those people, because she wanted to make the King understand the importance of the incident.
The King looked dumbfounded.
That was not what the Imperial Master said when he met him earlier.
If what Lady Chaoyan said was true…
