Dominated by the fear of death, he had to make this choice.
Jin Yan took out the treaty he had already drawn up and handed it to Emperor Qinglong.
Emperor Qinglong took a deep breath and looked at the branch master of the Golden Crow Hall with complex eyes.
The treaty was drawn up in advance, which shows that they had already made this decision before coming to the palace.
No matter what he chooses, he will eventually have to sign this unequal treaty.
Jin Yan glanced at Emperor Qinglong: "Your Majesty can choose not to sign."
Emperor Qinglong rolled his eyes, but there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"If you don't sign..." Emperor Qinglong asked.
Jin Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't you still have many princes? There will always be someone who is willing."
Emperor Qinglong: "..."
Emperor Qinglong took the pen and signed his name without saying anything.
After signing, Emperor Qinglong began to sigh again.
Because this is really an unequal treaty.
9/10 of the territory of the Qinglong Empire belongs to Jinwutang. Emperor Qinglong only temporarily manages the Qinglong Empire for Jinwutang.
Jinwutang has orders to take back the Qinglong Empire at any time.
In other words, the position of Emperor Qinglong may be withdrawn at any time...
After walking out of the imperial study, Su Luo looked up and saw the eldest prince standing at the door.
Su Luo glanced at him curiously: "Why hasn't the eldest prince prepared to repay the loan?"
The eldest prince sneered: "You don't need to worry about this matter."
"Then I won't exempt you from interest." Su Luo glanced at him lightly, turned and left.
The eldest prince was really remorseful, but the words he spoke were like water poured out, which cannot be recovered.
After Su Luo left, the eldest prince entered the imperial study.
When he saw Emperor Qinglong, he said straight to the point: "Father, how can we repay this debt? I really have no choice."
At this moment, Emperor Qinglong sat slumped on his chair, his whole body as wilted as if it had been hit by frost.
He didn't even have the strength to look at the eldest prince.
The eldest prince was filled with righteous indignation: "Father! Jinwutang is just knocking on your door! We are the royal family! Since they don't give face so much, why should we give them face? Why don't we..."
As the eldest prince spoke, he made a gesture of slicing his throat with a knife.
Emperor Qinglong, who was sitting on the recliner, looked at the eldest prince as if he were an idiot.
How could the eldest prince know that he was sitting on the throne for someone else?
Not to mention how dejected Qinglong was.
At this moment, Su Luo has returned to the Lingering Garden.
After returning indoors, the first thing Su Luo did was to enter the space.
Because there had been changes in the space before, she didn't know what happened and was very anxious.
When Su Luo entered the space, the first thing she saw was that the soul-nourishing stone had been successfully transformed into jade.
Su Luo thought she was dazzled, so she ran up excitedly, grabbed the soul nourishing stone, looked up and down, and looked at it carefully.
That's right, the originally dark soul-nurturing stone has now been successfully greened and turned into an emerald-green soul-nurturing jade.
Finally the jadeization was successful.
It would not be in vain that she has been desperately trying to plunder wealth and snatch soul power these days.
Su Luo's heart twitched violently.
The soul-nourishing stone was successfully transformed into jade, but what about Nangong Liuyun?
Has he woke up yet?
There was no time to think too much, and Su Luo's soul entered the soul-nourishing jade in the next moment.
Inside the soul-nourishing jade, a figure with a handsome and extraordinary appearance lay quietly.
