Chapter 469: To borrow or not to borrow
He is the prince of a country, so why is he so embarrassed to open this mouth?
Isn’t the prince afraid that others will find out and he will gossip about him?
He, Chu Ao, was just a small official in the court, while the prince was the future king of a country.
What's more, his daughter is engaged to the prince and is about to get married.
Under such a relationship, the prince actually asked him to borrow money. It was really incredible and unheard of!
Besides, he paid such a great price to be insulted and finally bought an invitation to participate in today's auction. The prince actually came to borrow money from himself with such shamelessness.
The prince personally asked him to borrow money and looked at him with such a calculating expression. I think the amount must not be too small.
If I cannot buy what I like because I lend my money to the prince, then wouldn’t I be in vain?
But the prince has already spoken himself, how could he escape this?
Could it be that he would directly reject the prince and tell him that he would not lend him money?
Under such circumstances, he could not refuse!
If he borrowed it, he felt uncomfortable, and his wife would definitely be reluctant to give in to him after returning home.
After all, this money was the money he and his wife had planned all the savings now. If it weren't for the auction, the wife wouldn't have given him all the money!
If he returns, if his wife knows that not only hasn't bought anything, but the money is gone...
The consequences are just that life is worse than death.
But if you don't want to borrow it, a person with a status of a prince who is more noble than him but who is so petty will definitely find a way to revenge him and disgust him, which will only make him even more uncomfortable.
Moreover, the imperial edict has been issued, and his daughter is about to marry the crown prince and become the crown prince's concubine.
At this time, he offended the prince. How could his daughter have a good life after marrying her?
In this case, it is not right for him to borrow, nor is it not right for him to borrow.
Now, isn’t Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror? He is no longer a human inside and outside?
At this moment, Chu Ao regretted that he had just said so much.
He can indeed help borrowing money, after all, the prince knows that he has money!
But this is busy, to be honest...
He doesn't want to help at all!
But now the prince has spoken to him, what should he do!
Suddenly, Chu Ao's eyes rolled, then he covered his chest and kept venting, and a look of pain appeared on his face.
He was so scared that the prince who stood aside and waited for his answer.
Even those who stood near him were disturbed by his actions and cast puzzled eyes at him.
Fortunately, Chu Ao and the prince stood near the moment they spoke, and the voices of the two were very low. The people next to them could only see Chu Ao covering his chest with a painful look on his face, but they had no idea what the prince and Chu Ao were saying.
At this time, the auction of the Qiong Liquid Essence has officially begun, so they don’t care what these two people are talking about sneakily!
When the prince looked at Chu Ao like this, he couldn't figure out what happened to him for a while.
Could it be that this old guy is pretending to be sick to avoid lending money to himself?
But seeing that he is too real, he doesn't seem to be pretending!
Moreover, if the old guy Chu Ao pretends to be sick, he only needs to send an imperial doctor to treat him and then he will find out the clues.
If he really had the courage to pretend to be sick in front of him, he would cheat him away from lending money to him, once he discovered that he would insist that Chu Ao would not be able to take it.
Although he has not officially ascended the throne, for Chu Ao, he will soon be the emperor of the White Tiger Kingdom. By that time, the crime of deceiving the king will not be a joke!
With the two of them having contacted each other for so long, Chu Ao must also know what the price he would pay if he dared to deceive himself.
Besides, he wouldn't have been participating in this auction today in order to escape this matter, right?
Unless he falls directly to the ground and is carried out of the Starry Light Auction House.
Otherwise, as long as Chu Ao wants to stay and continue to participate in the auction, he will be in good health in the end.
Otherwise, how could he continue to participate in the auction?
For a moment, the prince looked at Chu Ao's infatuation but was extremely painful.
Actually, Chu Ao is not pretending to be sick.
But he released the huge pain he endured today.
You know, since he was injured by Chu Qianli with a palm yesterday, Chu Ao and his wife have felt a burning pain all over their bodies.
The pain was not so strong when he was just injured. He just thought Chu Qianli was just a fancy move and had some skin injuries.
But the longer the time, the more he felt something was wrong.
He obviously took pills to heal and relieve pain, but the pain became more and more obvious and intense, so that he could hardly bear it later.
It was not until this morning at sunrise that he was in so much pain that he gritted his teeth and took a bath with ice water before he recovered.
Before that, he felt like he was about to get burned!
After taking a cold shower and getting better, he hurried to attend the auction.
At first, he didn't want others to see that he was injured. After all, for him, being beaten by that little bitch Chu Qianli was really losing all his face!
So even though the effect of the cold shower faded, he began to feel uncomfortable and painful again, he still tried hard to show it.
But at this moment he didn't care about these things...
Tell the truth, maybe the prince will save him some money to buy elixirs for healing.
After all, he had eaten the healing pill that his father had collected for a long time yesterday.
If he couldn't buy the pill today, Chu Ao believed that the injury would kill him if it hurts!
The prince can’t waste his life just to borrow money!
So when I think of this, Chu Ao ignored his face and no longer suppressed himself.
He gasped for a few breaths and said in pain: "Your Highness, Crown Prince, cough, the old minister really wants to lend money to Your Highness. As long as the old minister has it, let alone lend it, it doesn't matter even if it is given to the prince! But you don't know what the money the old minister has today is really useful for saving lives!"
"oh?"
Upon hearing this, the prince immediately narrowed his eyes and issued a syllable that he had distrust in a bad tone, waiting for Chu Ao to continue to explain.
In fact, no matter how Chu Ao answered, the prince didn't care, because no matter what kind of reason Chu Ao said, the prince just felt that he was just to perfunctorily not wanting to borrow money.
After all, it’s just a matter of borrowing or not a word. It’s too coincidental that he chose to act like he was desperate at this time!
