Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 1028 People from the Palace Came to Investigate Their Intentions

"You mean, a young master is buying up these things in large quantities?"

The Emperor of Kaiyuan held the small amethyst in his hand until his eyes ached, but he still couldn't find any use for it.

"Indeed, Your Majesty, I really don't know what this boy is thinking."

"Now, people all over the Kaiyuan Kingdom are searching for this item and selling it to purchasing points in various cities for one coin each."

"Moreover, we've checked, and these things were ultimately sent to the mansion next door."

The emperor frowned slightly after hearing this.

Then he said to the eunuch beside him, "Go and see what this boy is up to tomorrow. It would be best to bring him before me."

"Your Majesty, this old servant will bring him here tomorrow."

As night deepened, Chu Chen went to the backyard alone and then, with a wave of his hand, transferred the amethyst crystals into the apocalyptic world.

Immediately afterwards, he disappeared into the backyard and came to Roland's side.

"Chu Chen is here. He's gotten quite a lot of amethyst again!"

"We still need to keep working on it."

Chu Chen answered without even thinking.

Roland closed his eyes slightly upon hearing this: "Hmm, then let's continue!"

After hearing this, Chu Chen vanished in a flash. Watching Chu Chen disappear, Roland stomped her feet in anger: "You idiot!"

After returning to the region, Chu Chen went straight to his room and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Chu Chen woke up to a series of calls.

The maidservant Ermei was seen kneeling beside his bed, anxiously saying, "Young master, wake up! Young master, people from the palace have arrived!"

Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes, looked at his second sister's anxious face, and reached out to pinch her!

"Young master, what time is it? The palace staff are waiting in the reception hall!"

"People from the palace?"

Chu Chen asked, puzzled.

"That's right, an old man. Young master, please get up!"

After being pulled by his second sister, Chu Chen reluctantly crawled out of the quilt, hurriedly put on his clothes, and followed his second sister into the living room.

Upon entering the reception room, Chu Chen saw an elderly man with white hair and no beard, wearing an official hat, sitting there.

So he stepped forward and said, "What brings you here, sir? May I ask what brings you here?"

Zhu Xiuquan looked up at Chu Chen and thought to himself that he was indeed young, and judging from his appearance, he was not a particularly wicked person.

Suddenly, Chu Chen piqued Zhu Xiuquan's interest.

"Young master, I am Zhu Xiuquan. I have been sent by His Majesty to invite you to the palace for an audience with the Emperor. May I ask your honorable name?"

"My name is Chu Chen. I greet you, Eunuch Zhu. You have come from afar and must not have had breakfast yet. Why don't you join me for something to eat?"

Chu Chen didn't ask what was wrong, but directly steered the conversation to food.

Zhu Xiuquan's lips twitched upon hearing this. He thought to himself, "I've only come a mile, what do you mean by 'came from afar'? Are you stupid?"

And besides, it's already midday sun, why are we having breakfast?!

But when the third and fourth sisters brought out two bowls of instant noodles...

Zhu Xiuquan was completely taken aback. It smelled amazing! He had been accompanying the emperor in the palace and had tasted all sorts of delicacies, but he had never seen anything so fragrant and tempting before!

"May I ask, Young Master Chu, what is this item...?"

"Oh, this is instant noodles... As the name suggests, it's noodles that cook quickly. Father-in-law, please try it."

After a short while, Zhu Xiuquan secretly let out a satisfied burp, then looked at the empty bowl in front of him with a hint of lingering reluctance.

Chu Chen immediately understood what he meant and waved his hand to summon his second sister.

"Second Sister, I see that Eunuch Zhu likes this item. Go to the storeroom later and bring him a few boxes back!"

"Oh, Young Master Chu, you're too kind! I can't accept this!"

"Please don't be so polite, sir. These are just some things from my own home, not worth much. By the way, what brings His Majesty here?"

Chu Chen looked at Zhu Xiuquan, whose eyes were squinting into slits with laughter, and seized the opportunity to climb up to him.

Sure enough, things changed after I gave the gift.

Without a second thought, Zhu Xiuquan said to Chu Chen, "It's nothing serious. His Majesty just learned that you've been buying up a lot of useless things lately and wants to know what their purpose is!"

After hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself that he had guessed correctly.

But so what? Within one's own territory, what is a mere emperor?

The reason I keep such a low profile is simply so as not to disturb the peace of these living beings.

"Hehe, is that all? It's nothing really. I just like the color of this thing."

"Moreover, they look quite nice used for building houses and for decoration!"

Chu Chen casually stated his reasons to Zhu Xiuquan.

He didn't need Zhu Xiuquan to believe him, and he would use the same story when he went to see the emperor later.

The meaning is clear: you don't need to know.

"Hehe, in that case, I'll head back first. I'll go talk to His Majesty myself!"

Upon hearing Chu Chen's tone, Zhu Xiuquan knew that if this guy entered the palace, he would definitely displease His Majesty.

If that's the case, it's better to go back and sound them out yourself.

Chu Chen understood Zhu Xiuquan's meaning, so he beckoned his younger sister over and whispered a few words in her ear.

Then he turned to Zhu Xiuquan and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Father-in-law. I'll see you off!"

After saying that, she saw Zhu Xiuquan out of the house. At that moment, Da Mei, along with several servants, carried a box and placed it on Zhu Xiuquan's carriage.

"Young Master Chu, what... does this mean?"

"Haha, it's just a small token, nothing to show your respect!"

After Zhu Xiuquan climbed onto the carriage, he opened a corner of the box lid and immediately a smile appeared on his face.

"Young Master Chu, this is truly generous of you!"

"Haha, just a little something, have a good rest, Father-in-law!"

After seeing Zhu Xiuquan off, Chu Chen immediately called Qinglin to his side.

Then, frowning, he said, "Speed ​​up the collection of amethyst. The royal family has their eyes on us. I managed to get rid of them this time, but it won't last long. We need to be quick, don't be afraid to spend money!"

After listening, Qinglin bowed and turned to leave.

After returning to the house, Chu Chen went straight into the space.

When they came out again, a squad of androids had appeared beside them.

He wasn't afraid of the royal family targeting him, but it was too troublesome. He couldn't possibly kill his own people for the sake of the amethyst; these people had worked so hard to build up their wealth, and he couldn't bear to lose them.

Therefore, he often needs others to solve his problems.

After thinking about it, I think the androids are more reliable. The goal is the same: to divert the royal family's attention!

Upon returning to the palace, Zhu Xiuquan immediately reported to the emperor about his meeting with Chu Chen that day.

However, his words were full of praise for Chu Chen, saying things like he was young and promising, and a good citizen of Kaiyuan Kingdom.
