"These three princes are really unreasonable. I personally came to meet them, but they didn't even come out to greet me. It's really unknown how the deceased Empress Yi taught her sons."

  In the backyard, Empress Rong slightly frowned, a hint of displeasure appeared on her elegant and noble face, and she coldly hummed.

  However, these three princes' mansions are really wealthy!

  Look at this mountain rock, it's actually made of stones from the depths of Beihai. And the medicinal herbs in the flower bed are incredibly precious Red Flame Grass. Even the bamboo in the bamboo forest can't be bought with millions of gold and silver.

  It seems that the Yi family is not as simple as it appears on the surface. The gold and silver given to the Third Prince over the years must be countless, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to build such a magnificent mansion...

  The Empress Dowager's eyes gleamed with greed as she stared straight at these treasures that could rival a country's wealth.

  She suddenly became aware of it, and after her greed was exposed, she fell into Ye Ling's eyes...

  "Hehe."

  A cold smile, as if from the horizon, made Empress Yong hastily withdraw the greed in her eyes and cast her gaze at the young man who had just stepped out of the study, with a hidden murderous intent in her beautiful eyes.

  This damn little bastard, he's really lucky! He's already sent so many assassins, but none of them were able to kill him! Unfortunately, even if his luck is great, in the end he'll still meet the same fate as that short-lived ghost girl, and die prematurely.

  "Ye Ling, this time I came to find you, there are a few things to discuss with you," Empress Yong looked at Ye Ling coldly, the greed in her eyes bursting out again. "Over the years, both I and the Emperor have owed you too much, to make up for our guilt, I have decided to let you and Luo Er exchange residences, Luo Er's residence is in the bustling city, it's much better than this secluded place of yours."

  She speaks softly but gives hard orders.

  How could Ye Ling not detect the true intention of Empress Rong? The cold smile on his lips grew even more pronounced, and he said indifferently: "Sorry, I prefer quiet places. I appreciate Your Majesty's kindness."

  "Yeleng!" The Empress Dowager's face sank, "You really don't know how to appreciate kindness! I'm doing this to make up for the debt I owe you, and Rong'er's estate is in a much better location than your humble abode!"

  What she meant was that everything she did was for Ye Ling's own good, yet this ungrateful kid still didn't appreciate it!

  "Hehe," Ye Ling chuckled again, saying sarcastically, "If you want me to exchange mansions with Ye Xiao, it's not impossible. Everything in my mansion, down to the smallest blade of grass and piece of wood, I will take away!"

  The Empress Dowager's face completely changed: "Since it is an exchange of mansions, naturally all items in both mansions are included. You wanting to take these things away is utterly unreasonable."

  Ye Ling smiled, his smile carrying a chilling coldness, and his slightly raised eyes held a hint of cold arrogance: "Empress Yong, what's the difference between your methods and those of a bandit? You're just eyeing the treasures in my mansion, planning to rob me openly, why bother speaking so eloquently?"

  "How bold!"

  The Empress Dowager's face turned cold and stern, her voice sharp as she rebuked him: "As a prince, you are also a subject of the Flowing Gold Nation. Does being the Empress mean I don't even have this right? Let me warn you, all items in the Flowing Gold Nation belong to the imperial family, including the treasures in your prince's estate! Since these are all imperial possessions, how can I not be in charge?"
