Chapter 5009: 5.0761 Convinced?

"Prince Guangwa."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, Crown Princess, speak, speak your mind," Prince Guangwa quickly said.

"Convinced or not?!"

Prince Guangwa looked utterly bewildered. What the hell am I supposed to be convinced of? This Crown Princess must be out of her mind...

"I asked if you're convinced!!"

"Convinced, convinced!" Prince Guangwa's heart was screaming internally. However... when under someone's roof, one must bow one's head. Now that he needed others to rescue him, he would just agree to whatever they said.

"Compensation?"

Duan Yue's lips twitched, and a memory suddenly surfaced.

[Compensation. Otherwise, kill him!]

[Go ahead and kill him. He's so stupid, he deserves to die.]

[Hey, wait, what kind of compensation do you want?]

[One price, one hundred low-grade Xuan stones for this dog's life.]

How strange. Having heard the word "compensation" so many times, he hadn't heard it in a while, and now hearing it again, he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. Indeed, people, with "compensation, compensation," just calm down. Like him, now hearing the word "compensation" again, he was completely unaffected by any emotions, without a single ripple...

If Prince Guangwa knew the thoughts of this Emperor of Cangzhou at this moment, he would surely spit in his face. Of course, you wouldn't have any ripples, it's not you who's paying the compensation!

"The compensation list is here. Just sign it."

The faces of the Barbarian Tribe guards were all slightly distorted. Their prince was now sinking even further than them. They looked down and saw that the prince had already dropped to their waist level, his legs dangling precariously, just a hair's breadth from touching the blades in the pit. Most importantly, they were suffocating under the gravity pressure, holding their breath, unable to spare a hand to help.

"What are you still thinking about?" the little stoic said, her face taut. "This place is bound by a gravity spatial array; it's been hit by a triple gravity talisman array."

"If I don't help you undo it, you'll all die."

"I, if we die... in this Cangzhou Imperial Palace, I'm afraid His, His Majesty, will, w-will be unable to explain it to the Barbarian Tribe."

"Qiao Qiao, just do your thing. I'll handle the explanation," Duan Yue immediately retorted.

"You!" Prince Guangwa felt half the breath in his chest vanish, and his entire body suddenly dropped. His face turned pale, and he screamed internally in despair: I'm finished!

But then he suddenly felt his left arm being grabbed by something, and his body abruptly stopped sinking. He looked up, and cold sweat dripped down. It was a section of wooden vine that had wrapped around him. A chilling sword qi beneath his feet almost pierced through the soles of his feet. Prince Guangwa was almost scared stiff, and cold sweat profusely poured from his head.

The little stoic, expressionless, asked again, "Compensation?"

"Compensate, compensate! Compensate!!!"

Prince Guangwa's mind was on the verge of collapse: What the hell am I compensating for? Who did I offend? This whole drama today had absolutely nothing to do with him; it was all because those two concubines were greedy for money and power, their wicked hearts never dying, which brought him to this state.

"Sign it," the little Crown Princess tossed a roll of compensation list to Prince Guangwa. It was a scroll that dragged from mid-air all the way to the ground.

Prince Guangwa, his arm held by the wooden vine, was barely able to move. He endured bitter tears, trembling as he signed the document and stamped it with his handprint, closing his eyes, unable to bear looking at what was written on the paper... This was the rhythm of emptying his small treasury!

Qiao Mu put away the scroll and muttered to Duan Yue, "Later, when we go to war with Tianyun, we'll stock up on more supplies and money to use as military provisions."
