Chapter 176
"The Third Prince is truly unreasonable. personally came to meet him, but he still doesn''t receive
me," snorted Empress Rong in the back garden. "I truly don''t know how thete Empress Yi raised
her son."
A slight frown and displeasure appeared on her poised and elegant face.
However, the Third Prince Estate was quite wealthy!
Take, for instance, this rock. It was cast from rocks found deep in the Northern Sea. The medicinal
herbs in the flower bed too. They were actually the extremely valuable Scarlet me Grass. Even
the bamboo in the bamboo forest could not be purchased without millions of pounds of gold and
silver.
It looked like the Yi Family was not as simple as they appeared, and the money that they gave to
the third prince these past years was probably uncountable. Otherwise, he would not have had the
ability to build such a prosperous estate.
Empress Rong''s eyes shed with greed as she stared fixedly at this nation''s worth of wealth.
However, she was not aware that her avarice had been spotted by Ye Ling already.
"Hoho." A scornfulugh emanated from the sky, forcing Empress Rong to cloak the greed in her
eyes. She shot her gaze to the young man stepping out of the study, her beautiful eyes hiding a
killing intent.
This bastard! He was quite lucky! She had sent countless assassins, but they never managed to kill
him! How unfortunate that regardless of how lucky he was, he would meet the same fate as that
short-lived mother of his and die in the end.
"Ye Ling, this time, this Empress sought you out to discuss a few matters with you." Empress Rong
focused her icy gaze on Ye Ling, her greed bursting out of her eyes again. "This Empress and His
Majesty have owed you greatly these past years. In order topensate and show our remorse,
this Empress has decided to have you and Luo''er switch estates. Luo''er''s estate is in the city center,
so it''s much better than your remote location."
She took a consulting approach on the surface but was actually unyielding and demanding.
How could Ye Ling not recognize Empress Rong''s aim? The smile on his lips chilling, he coolly said,
"My apologies. I prefer quiet locations, though I do appreciate Her Imperial Majesty''s well-
intentioned actions."
"Ye Ling!" Empress Rong''s face darkened. "You are truly ungrateful! This Empress is doing this to
make up for what you are owed! The location of Luo''er''s estate is much better than this sorry
estate!"
Her words implied that she was doing this for Ye Ling''s benefit, yet Ye Ling, the rat bastard,
stubbornly did not appreciate her kindness!

"Hoho." Ye Ling released a lowugh as he said in derision, "If you really want to make Ye Luo and
me switch estates, it''s not impossible. However, I''ll take everything in my estate with me, even if it''s
just a de of grass or a tree!"
The look on Empress Rong''s face soured. "Since it''s an exchange of estates, then everything in
each estate is naturally included in it. I''m afraid it''s extremely unreasonable for you to bring these
things with you."
Ye Ling startedughing, his smile permeated with a bone-chilling cold. He looked up a small bit, his
eyes shining with arrogance, and asked, "Empress Rong, what is the difference between your
actions and robbery? Didn''t you take a liking to the treasures in my estate and so wanted to rob me
with a justification? Why must Your Imperial Majesty word it this nicely?"
"How dare you!" Empress Rong shouted in anger, spite sweeping across her elegant face. "As a
prince, you''re also a citizen of the Liujin Kingdom. Could it be that as the Empress, this Empress
doesn''t even have that small privilege? This Empress is warning you, everything in Liujin Kingdom
belongs to the imperial dynastyincluding the treasures in your prince estate! Since these are the
possessions of the imperial n, why can''t this Empress decide their fate?"
