"Is this really happening?" The emperor pretended to be surprised, but in Xi Ning's eyes, he knew he was acting.
Again, as an emperor, if he doesn't know about such a big commotion, he is either stupid or pretending not to know.
In order to increase the weight, Xining let out a long sigh: "The foundation of Xuanhumen for more than a hundred years was destroyed overnight, and no one can pass it on. You know, the medicine developed by my great uncle is about to be successful. After taking it, you can increase your life span by two years." ten years."
The emperor's eyes suddenly tightened. He was already in his forties and had been working at his desk for a long time to deal with state affairs. As a result, he had lost his hair early. In recent years, he felt powerless and even looked like he was prematurely aging. That's why I found Qiongwan, hoping to extend my life.
Although Qiongwan is good, it is only temporary. Recently, he feels that if he does not take Qiongwan, his body will become worse than before.
I didn't expect that Xuanhumen was about to succeed. If I had known this, I would have stopped it. But things have come to this, and there is nothing to be done, and I suddenly feel heartbroken.
"Everything is like a seed sprouting out. As long as there is a breakthrough, it may be better. If the medicine that prolongs life can be made, the effect can be further enhanced, and maybe there will be the legendary elixir of immortality. It's a pity. ..."
The emperor was really distressed now. The elixir of immortality and long live are just words. Who doesn't want to live forever?
Immediately he couldn't sit still, jumped up, and pointed with trembling hands: "I will put the entire Imperial Medical Office at your disposal. As long as you can find the prescription for longevity medicine, I will make you a princess... no, I will make you a king. !」
Xi Ning pursed her lips, as if she was about to cry: "Your Majesty, my daughter wants it too. But I can't find a prescription for the medicine I take, and there is no hope for such more difficult medicines. This is God's will, God's will. "
It sounded very reasonable. Without medicine, she might become a fool one day. If she had the means, she would have made medicine long ago.
The emperor sat down, his eyes rolling, and suddenly thought of something: "Are there any medical books, handwritten notes or anything left at Xuanhumen?" Get these things back and lock up all the doctors. If you can't find a prescription, don't even think about going back. .
"After the Xuanhumen disaster, some thieves wanted to seize the Xuanhumen medical books. While snatching them, they accidentally dropped a box into the pool. After the trouble was over, I picked up the box and all the words on the paper inside melted, making it difficult to see what was written. ." Xining raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes, pretending to sob and cry: "I have read all the other medical manuscripts, but I can't find them. All the prescriptions must be in this box. If the Holy Spirit doesn't believe it, just send someone to go there. Bring all the papers back and check them one by one. They are all general medical books and medical practice notes."
Your emperor can act, but my sister can't. My sister can act better than you, enough to win an Oscar. He rubbed his eyes again, wanting to rub the red spots even if there were no tears.
If he hadn't kept up his appearance, the emperor would have been so distressed that he would have beat his chest.
After being bored for a while, the emperor finally spoke: "Tell me everything. Aren't you afraid that I will blame you?"
Xi Ning's eyes were red and he lowered his head: "Your Majesty is a wise king, and he will make his own decision. If you really blame me, rain, dew, and thunder are all your kindness, and you must be loyal to you."
The emperor was satisfied with this answer. Thinking of the losses after the Xuanhu Sect was destroyed, and looking at the only successor who would become stupid at some point, he didn't want to dwell on it any more: "I know everything, you go back. Whatever should be done at Huoyun Villa, Don’t worry anymore.”….
These words meant that the emperor did not want to investigate the matter of drugging the third prince, and accepted that Huoyun Villa would pay for it every year. Xining immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, long live my emperor. My little daughter, please retire."
The emperor felt tired and waved his hand. The great eunuch very discerningly signaled with his eyes and gestures that Xining should follow him and leave. After leaving the palace, Xining said goodbye to the eunuch, and then someone was waiting to take her out of the palace.
Ye Ying and Ye Bing were waiting for her outside the palace gate. As soon as they saw her coming out, they helped her get into the carriage. When they arrived at the mansion, they entered the house and saw Zhao Kang and Guo Siyuan.
The tea was brought immediately. The temperature was just right. Xining took a sip to moisten his throat and said, "I have given all the medicine to the Holy One. It should be fine. When will the rewards for the army be ready?"
Guo Siyuan replied: "It's already in the warehouse. It's just a pretext for raising funds."
This matter has been discussed a long time ago. As a merchant, there will be some backlog of inventory. Selling but not selling, selling at a discount will make your peers jealous. It is very likely that if you give a discount, I will also give a discount, resulting in vicious competition. It feels like a pity to throw them away. After all, these goods were bought with money before.
This time it was a discount with the banner of rewarding the army, and all the money gained went to the Holy One, so no one dared to say anything. Anyone who dares to follow the discount and affect the fundraising of Huoyun Villa will be in trouble. Not only will the money from the sale be confiscated, but they may also have to pay to settle the matter, which is not worth the loss.
Huoyun Villa is too eye-catching. Even if the third prince doesn't cause trouble this time, he will still be remembered by the emperor. As for whether to cut the meat into pieces, cut off an arm, or even chop it in half, it all depends on the emperor's mood and how much money is left in the treasury.
Simply sending the money yourself can be regarded as a waste of money and a solution to the disaster. From now on, at the end of every year, the unnecessary inventory will be cleared and money will be given to the emperor. The emperor's sword will fall slowly, or even be put away first.
Zhao Kang apologized: "Although I am a prince, I am a low-key person in the palace and cannot help. I am really sorry."
Guo Siyuan immediately responded: "His Royal Highness Eleven has already taken a huge risk by doing this. Huoyun Villa will be your Highness's support in the future. If Your Highness does not want to be involved in the court and just wants to be a leisurely cloud and wild crane, I am willing to be honest with His Highness."
Now that everything has been said, Zhao Kang also revealed something: "The third prince should be hopeless this time. The prince has been in vain for many years, but there is nothing wrong. Before I left the palace, the queen had already called the prince to appreciate the plum blossoms. I believe that soon I will give you a title, a title, a marriage and a separate house for my daughter-in-law."
At the end of the sentence, his eyes drifted to Xining. But Xining seemed not to hear it and drank her own tea.
Guo Siyuan understood clearly and clasped his fists: "This is also a good thing. After the division of the house, you can have some leisure time. First of all, I would like to congratulate His Highness Eleven on getting a good princess."
Xining has a heavy responsibility, and the hanging of the Humen depends on her alone. Furthermore, she was still young, had no background in the court, and had no support from her natal family, so it was impossible for her to become a princess, not even a concubine... Zhao Kang could only sigh and regret secretly.
At this time in the palace, the emperor had broken three teacups and an inkstone. The bastard who yelled at the Third Prince!
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry." The eunuch consoled him, "If it doesn't work out, I'll call the Third Highness here so that His Majesty can vent his anger."
"What's the point of calling him here?" The emperor was so angry that his teeth were itching, and his heart ached when he thought of the elixir that was not available along with Xuanhumen: "He can only kneel, trembling all over, and he is so frightened that he touches The little chick who saw the eagle was guilty every time, so I asked him to calm down. He turned around and continued to do shady things, and refused to change despite repeated admonitions. I don’t want to see him again in my life!”
