Speaking of this, he actually smiled bitterly, smiling, and his tears fell down his cheeks.
Luo Lan quickly picked up the handkerchief and wiped the tears from his eyes, and whispered to him:
"Since you don't want to mention it, then let's not mention it. Blame me. I shouldn't mention it. Don't worry, I'm really good. I've been a doctor since I was a child. I'm a medical genius. I can make you stand up. Do you believe me? ?”
He bit his lip and nodded feebly, "I believe it. I'm already like this now. Apart from you, I'm afraid no one is willing to take another look at me. So I believe whatever you say."
Luo Lan suddenly felt that all the stubbornness in this man's bones had been worn away by reality. She couldn't bear to ask further. She didn't want him to mention the things that hurt him anymore.
It wasn't until she watched him fall asleep that she quietly retreated from his room.
Hearing the door closing, Leng Yu opened his eyes. He couldn't sleep. He just pretended to be asleep.
Today he mentioned something to her that he had never mentioned in the past three years. That matter had been pressing in his heart for three years. He was unwilling to explain it to others because even his own mother would not admit it. Who would admit it? .
In the past three years, his father had never looked at him. It seemed that he still had not forgiven him. Although his mother and concubine had come here, he did not want to see her at all. As time went by, she simply stopped coming.
Now that he has this blue girl, she is like a star appearing in the dark night. He is really afraid that if he closes his eyes and sleeps, when he opens them again, she will disappear like a shooting star.
Concubine Chang's reward arrived at Prince Yu's Mansion three days later. Leng Yu's face was obviously much better. Luo Lan was applying medicine to him, and A Cai called from outside:
"Princess, there are people from the palace, and they have brought many things."
Hearing this, she looked at Leng Yu happily, "Just wait here, I'll be back in a minute."
Leng Yuqi replied coldly:
"I don't want their stuff."
"Why not?"
Luo Lan frowned and looked at her, "She is your mother. She is not even willing to come into the house to see you. What's wrong with asking for something? It's not free of charge."
Leaving these words behind, she quickly walked out the door.
Leng Yu breathed a long sigh of relief. It seemed that she was still too conceited. She was already paralyzed on the bed. There was no way to get money. She didn't want the things given by others. Do you want her to live like this with a loser like him? A day when you don’t have enough food or clothes to keep you warm?
Luo Lan came to the main hall of the palace happily. At this time, Mr. Liu beside Concubine Chang was waiting for her. When he saw her coming, he stepped forward and presented a gift list.
"Princess, this is sent by the old slave ordered by Concubine Chang. Please take a look at it."
Luo Lan took the gift list and glanced at it.
"One hundred taels of silver, ten pieces of ready-made clothes, two jade bracelets, a hairpin, and one earring each..."
Although these things don't look very valuable, the one hundred taels of silver are not given in vain.
She took out an ingot from the pile of silver and handed it to Eunuch Liu, "I'd like to take a trip all the way, Eunuch."
Eunuch Liu was naturally happy to take the money. After thanking him, he left with his servants.
Butler Xu came forward and asked directly:
"Princess, can I help you put these things into the warehouse?"
"No need."
She raised her hand directly, "Ah Hou, Ah Yu, move this thing into my room."
She can't trust anyone now.
"By the way, Butler Xu, how are the accounts? You have to hurry up."
Butler Xu swallowed his saliva and replied:
"Tomorrow, it will be almost sorted tomorrow, and I will send it to the princess."
Luo Lan looked at him with her lips curled up. She was sure that Butler Xu would give her a perfect account with no selfishness at all.
But she didn't care, she just wanted to let them know that she, the princess, was here, and they shouldn't mess with the future affairs of this palace.
After placing those things, Ah Hong also prepared the medicine. When she returned to Leng Yu's room with the medicine, she told him slightly excitedly,
"Let me tell you, in the future we will have money. The palace has sent us a hundred taels. I am also going to take over the accounts of your palace. When the time comes, I will ask these servants to do whatever you want to eat. Come on. , take this medicine."
Leng Yu looked at the expression on her face and couldn't bear to tell her not to accept anything from them.
But reality finally defeated the remaining trace of arrogance in his heart.
Early the next morning, in the main hall of Prince Yu's Mansion, Butler Xu came to Luo Lan with a ledger and handed it to Luo Lan with some respect.
"Princess, these are the palace's accounts for the last six months. The previous ones have been destroyed."
Luo Lan wasn't interested either, so she reached out to take it, glanced at it casually, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
It actually says:
The prince spent fifteen taels on medicine.
The prince bought bird's nest supplements and spent thirty-five taels.
The prince spent one hundred taels on clothes to keep out the cold.
The prince spent fifty taels on the bedding.
…
After all this, Luo Lan closed the account book disdainfully, looked at Butler Xu and asked:
"Do you still have any money left?"
Butler Xu shook his head directly, "No more."
Luo Lan squinted and pondered for a while, then asked:
"It's just the middle of the month and your savings are gone? As far as I know, the prince has a monthly salary of one thousand taels of silver."
"What the princess is talking about is that three years ago, since the prince fell ill, the salary in the palace has been reduced by 30%. Now it is only three hundred taels per month. After excluding the expenses of these servants, there is not much left."
Three hundred taels a month?
Luo Lan almost felt like scolding his father. No wonder there were so few servants in this mansion. How many servants could he support with that little money?
But it's no wonder, there are so many people who want Leng Yu dead, so it would be nice to give him some money.
So she nodded, "Okay, so do you have any money saved this month?"
"right."
Butler Xu replied helplessly:
"Not only that, we still owe these servants this month's wages. Princess, please find a way to pay it by the end of the month."
Hearing this, Luo Lan almost felt like she was about to fly into a rage. She, who owns a fortune, would have to wipe someone else's butt when she first took office?
She glanced at Butler Xu, and then nodded, "Okay, call all the servants here. I will pay them now as much monthly salary as you owe them."
Those people were kept in the palace for nothing. It was better to pay them early and let them go.
When Butler Xu heard this, he naturally rushed to call someone. This was a good thing.
After a while, these servants all stood in the courtyard of the main hall of the palace with expressions of gloating on their faces. Butler Xu bowed forward and said:
"Reply to the princess, everyone is here."
Luo Lan smiled at the corner of his mouth and called them to ask questions. They all wanted to rub themselves until calluses formed on the soles of their feet. They heard that they would be given a salary that could run faster than a rabbit.
She stood in front of the people, with the Four Diamonds standing behind her. She still held her crystal whip in her hand and walked back and forth. She also glanced at everyone, and then she said softly:
"Whether you are here first or later, you have worked hard during your time in the palace, so even though you have only worked for half a month this month, I still want to give you a month's salary."
