Chapter 1047 Admitting that she took those things
Seeing Butler Zhou circling around Qiao Ran and preparing all kinds of delicious food, the old prince couldn't help but watch it anymore.
"Old Zhou, it's alright, it's alright, Qiao's family doesn't lack these foods, she can't finish them even if you make so much, these are enough."
"Okay, okay! Then I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready so we can have dinner later."
Old Butler Zhou rushed to the kitchen in a hurry, leaving Butler Zhou standing there at a loss.
Ever since his father came back, he has been completely sidelined like a idler, and it is not his turn to take care of anything.
Seeing that his master seemed to have something to say, Butler Zhou wisely waved his hand and took all the servants in the hall out. He then stood guard outside the door, not letting anyone approach.
In the main hall, the old prince casually placed several plates of cakes from his table on the table in front of Qiao Ran, motioning her to eat quickly.
"Qiao girl, eat quickly! These cakes are made by the imperial chefs in the palace, and they are much more delicious than those in the cake shop. I asked them to make all their specialties, and you can see which one tastes best. I will ask them to go home with you and make them for you every day."
The old prince at this time looked neither like a tough guy fighting on the battlefield, nor like a serious emperor sitting on a high seat, but like an amiable old grandfather next door.
Qiao Ran picked up the cakes obediently and started eating, which made the old prince feel very happy.
After eating a few pieces of cake and chatting for a while, Qiao Ran thought of the mountain of supplies in his space and said to the old prince:
"Grandpa Mo, I'm sure you've heard about the thefts from the national treasury and the emperor's private treasury. In fact, it was all done by Beihan and I. At that time, the emperor doted on Prince Ping very much. No matter how outrageous he was, the emperor didn't punish him severely. We knew that Prince Ping would definitely force the emperor to abdicate and rebel, so for the sake of the people of Dayue, we stole all the things. Now that you are about to ascend the throne, it's time to put those things back."
The old prince didn't expect that she would admit to him that she took those things, and nodded with relief:
"Good, you did a good job! Grandpa Mo knows that you have magical powers. Grandpa Mo doesn't ask anything. As long as he knows that you are doing this for the betterment of the country and the people, that's enough."
In fact, when she and Han'er transported so many supplies to the northern border, the old prince knew that she was not an ordinary person.
In addition, as she was an ordinary peasant girl but suddenly learned so many exquisite medical and poison techniques, as well as advanced martial arts skills, the old prince guessed that this girl must have had some particularly amazing adventure.
According to folklore, there are mountain spirits and ghosts that have taken shape, and there are also legends that she is possessed by spirits from outer space. The old prince couldn't guess which one she was.
But he knew very well that this girl was kind-hearted and not a bad person, and that was enough.
There is no need to say anything, no need to pursue anything, just trust her and protect her, it is the best arrangement for her and Dayue.
Qiao Ran was very touched to see that the old prince trusted her so much.
She knew that the abilities she displayed would be suspicious to anyone who knew her even a little.
But she didn't care. She had the space. If there was any danger, she would put all the people in Qingshui Village into the space and take them to a safe place to start a new and beautiful life.
No matter where she was, she firmly believed that she could provide the best living conditions for all the villagers, lead them to work hard and get rich, and live a rich life that only rich people could enjoy.
Three days later, on an auspicious day, the old prince was officially crowned emperor.
