My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

Chapter 227 Father! Your son is wronged!

Shangguan Lianxue was surprised to see this and asked, "Why is this happening?"

Zhao Hongyu said nothing but turned sideways to let little Ningyi look out the window. The next moment, little Ningyi burst into tears again. Zhao Hongyu chuckled and patted little Ningyi on the back, "Su Tong, close the window."

Wan Sutong said "oh" and turned to close the window, then came to Zhao Hongyu with great curiosity and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and handed little Ning Yi to Wan Sutong, then spoke softly, "The wind is strong tonight, and the branches outside the window are constantly shaking in her eyes. She is still young, and her vision is blurry. It is getting darker, and what she sees is different from what we see, so she is a little scared."

Shangguan Lianxue smiled a little embarrassedly after hearing this. "I see. My Cheng'er has never had such a thing before. I'm really sorry to bother you two so late at night because of such a small matter."

Wan Sutong shook her head and chuckled as she carried little Ning Yi back to Shangguan Lianxue. "It's okay. Maybe every child has a different personality. I should have come here today, but my sister got married and some other things delayed me. If there's nothing else, we'll go back first."

Shangguan Lianxue nodded repeatedly and said, "Zhong Su, please see you two off."

At the same time, Zhao Jingjia was about to get off the carriage, but when he stood up, he froze in his place. He frowned as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he actually took out his sword and left it in the carriage.

When Zhao Jingjia stepped down from the carriage, the next moment there was a sound of breaking through the air, and in the blink of an eye an arrow flew straight to Zhao Jingjia's face. Zhao Jingjia's pupils suddenly shrank, and then he quickly grasped the arrow. If he had reacted a little slower, the arrow would have pierced his head.

The driver on the side was obviously not so lucky. He was pierced in the throat by an arrow, bleeding profusely, and fell to the ground without even having time to let out a scream.

However, the assassin obviously did not intend to give Zhao Jingjia a chance to breathe. A sound of breaking air was heard again. Zhao Jingjia hurriedly dodged and hid behind the carriage. Then he used his spiritual power to explore the direction where the arrow was shot.

Unexpectedly, a group of assassins suddenly emerged from the darkness and rushed towards Zhao Jingjia. Seeing this, Zhao Jingjia regretted his decision to leave his sword in the carriage. He had no choice but to step forward and fight with the assassins with the arrows in his hand.

Zhao Jingjia first dodged an assassin's long sword by leaning sideways, then stabbed the assassin's neck with an arrow, and raised his hand to grab the long sword from the assassin's hand.

However, because he was outnumbered, Zhao Jingjia was not in a hurry to dodge. The long sword cut a deep bloody wound on his left shoulder and back. He frowned and jumped up, and came behind the assassins. He stepped forward quickly and swung the long sword at the same time. In the blink of an eye, the heads fell to the ground, blood splattered, and the bodies flowed like a river.

Zhao Jingjia held the sword tightly in his hand. At this time, the assassin in the dark seemed to deliberately attract Zhao Jingjia's attention. He pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow at the carriage.

Zhao Jingjia immediately ran towards the source of the arrows after hearing the sound. Soon he saw the assassin holding a bow and arrow and trying to escape.

Seeing this, Zhao Jingjia hurriedly chased after him. Soon, the assassin pushed open a window of a palace, then climbed in and hid in the house.

Zhao Jingjia couldn't help but sneer at the assassin's stupid behavior, and walked forward with murderous eyes. Then he pushed open the door, but when he walked into the room, he saw a bright candlelight in front of him. Five steps away, Zhao Jinghua was supporting Zhao Jinfang and walking on the ground.

Zhao Jinfang looked at Zhao Jingjia with anger and gnashed teeth, "Zhao Jingjia! You are so impatient to force the emperor to revolt! I thought you were a good boy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Jingcheng led the Imperial Guards into the Taiming Palace and said, "Father, I am late in coming to your rescue. I hope you will forgive me."

Zhao Jingjia's legs suddenly went weak, knowing that he had fallen into a trap. He hastily threw away the sword in his hand, and then knelt down and said, "Father! I am innocent!"

Zhao Jinfang was so angry when he heard this that his eyes widened. "Unfair? Do you think I'm blind? You rushed into Taiming Palace with a sword and you still say it's unfair? Ridiculous! Ridiculous!"

Zhao Jinghua sighed and shook his head at this time, "My brother, are you going to say yes? Did I cast an illusion on you?" Zhao Jinghua's tone sounded like he was disappointed in his friend, but it was just adding fuel to the fire, so that Zhao Jinfang became even angrier after hearing it.

Zhao Jinghua saw this and a smile flashed in his eyes, but it was only for a moment before he spoke to comfort Zhao Jinfang, "Don't get angry, it's harmful to your health." He then looked at Eunuch Chen and said, "Chen Ye, help His Majesty to sit down aside."

Eunuch Chen responded, then walked to Zhao Jinfang's side and helped him sit on the soft couch behind him. "Your Majesty, why are you angry? How many people born in this royal family can be as filial as your Highness?"

Zhao Jinfang sighed heavily after hearing this, then lowered his eyes and turned his head away. "That's right, nevermind... Alas."

Zhao Jingjia gritted his teeth and gathered his spiritual power in his palm. The next moment, he struck the ground with his palm and then slowly stood up. In an instant, everyone except Zhao Jinghua and Eunuch Chen was shocked and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

Zhao Jinfang's mouth was filled with blood. Eunuch Chen took a deep breath when he saw this, pretending not to see it, and then looked at Zhao Jingcheng in shock, "Your Highness!"

Zhao Jingcheng covered his chest and raised his hand to stop Eunuch Chen from approaching. "I am fine, come and see my father."

Eunuch Chen had no choice but to look back after hearing this. When he saw Zhao Jinfang who had fainted, he looked helpless and then exclaimed, "Your Majesty has fainted!"

After hearing this, Zhao Jingcheng hurried to Zhao Jinfang and said, "Father! Call the imperial physician!"

Zhao Jingjia stood up straight and looked at Zhao Jinghua with an extremely unbelievable look. "You are actually fine! How can you be fine with your cultivation level?"

Zhao Jinghua transformed into a long sword and chuckled as he looked up at Zhao Jingjia. However, his smile did not reach his eyes and looked extremely creepy.

Zhao Jingjia retreated repeatedly but suddenly lost his strength and fell to the ground the next moment. There was dejection in his eyes and his true nature was completely exposed at this moment. "Can you see that I am not Zhao Honglin? I have been planning for a long time. How could you see that? When did you poison me?"

Zhao Jinghua looked down at him with a hint of mockery in his eyes but his tone was very calm, "When we drink together..."

When Zhao Jingjia heard this, he suddenly looked up and looked at Zhao Jinghua with disbelief. "How is this possible! You were just sitting there without moving a step."

Zhao Jinghua did not answer. Instead, Eunuch Chen sneered and said slowly, "You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger. You dare to deceive him without even looking at who he is! You, you are said to be smart, but you dare to look him in the eye and drink with him. You are said to be stupid like a pig, but you are on guard against him everywhere. You are too young."

Zhao Jingjia gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Jinghua angrily, "Despicable!"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and raised the knife in his hand. "I never said I was a good person." He swung the knife to chop off Zhao Jingjia's head.

Zhao Jingjia closed his eyes hastily upon seeing this, but after a long time the expected pain did not appear. Instead, he heard the anxious call of eunuch Wang, "Your Highness! Your Highness! Why are you sleeping? His Majesty is still waiting for you!"

Zhao Jingjia opened his eyes suddenly when he heard this, but found himself still in the carriage. He looked around, then looked at Eunuch Wang, and then gasped for breath as if he had been reborn.
