These things can be put aside for a while, the most urgent thing is -

"Zhiyu, you also know that the Nan Gu worm is insidious. Those who are poisoned by it are completely unaware, making it difficult to guard against."

Jiang Zhiyu narrowed his eyes slightly.

[I seem to have guessed what Lao Deng is going to say next.]

emperor:"……"

The emperor was choked by her words. Although he didn't know what Lao Deng meant, judging from Zhiyu's tone, she didn't seem very happy.

Let’s try it first, the emperor licked his lips, maybe he had misunderstood.

He thought so, facing Jiang Zhiyu's resentful eyes, and said: "I think that since Zhiyu's medical skills are so superb, why not go to the Imperial Hospital and teach those doctors how to distinguish."

Xu Yanli: “…”

Jiang Zhiyu: “…”

[Gah, I knew it!]

[These crappy classes are just getting more and more crowded! I'm not going!]

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I don't know much about Gu, so how can I teach the imperial physicians?"

Jiang Zhiyu's tone was a little stiff, and seeing this, Xu Yanli swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

From a selfish perspective, he certainly hoped that Jiang Zhiyu would agree.

Xu Yanli also heard Jinchen talk about Erzhu Huaji's poison on him. Whenever he thinks about it now, he still feels a little scared.

God knows what kind of poison Erzhu Huaji had put in her. If the young fish hadn't discovered it in time...

It is indeed difficult to guard against poisonous insects. If Erzhu Huaji uses the same trick again and uses the poisonous insects to control other officials in the court, it will definitely be a big trouble for Tianqi.

But compared to these, the most important thing is the opinions of the young fish.

If she really doesn't want to go, no one can force her.

Thinking of this, Xu Yanli's eyes suddenly became sharper.

The emperor listened to Jiang Zhiyu's refusal without getting angry. He smiled and held up two fingers, then started to bid: "Two hundred taels."

【Oh, are you sending away a beggar?】

Jiang Zhiyu: "It's not about money, Your Majesty. I'm not very skilled in the art. If I rashly teach you adults, I'll be misleading you."

Emperor: "Three hundred taels."

Jiang Zhiyu's eyes moved slightly: "Your Majesty, it's really not..."

Emperor: "Four hundred taels."

Jiang Zhiyu: "I still feel that something is a little inappropriate..."

Emperor: "Five hundred taels."

He smiled and withdrew his hand: "By the way, I have to add one more thing, these five hundred taels are the cost of your teaching once."

Five hundred taels for one lesson?!

[This isn't Lao Deng, this is clearly my adoptive father!]

Jiang Zhiyu's eyes suddenly lit up frighteningly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise: "Okay, Your Majesty is really something. Serving the country is my duty. Why talk about money? It hurts my feelings."

emperor:"……"

From Lao Deng to adoptive father, the emperor probably understood what Lao Deng meant. He looked at her with amusement: "In that case, then these five hundred taels..."

"Alas," Jiang Zhiyu hurriedly stopped him, looking at him seriously, "Your Majesty, your words are not joking. Once you say something, you can't take it back easily. It will affect your Majesty's reputation. Besides, talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money."

emperor:"……"

Xu Yanli: “…”

However, she is probably the only noble lady in Shengjing who values ​​money so much and is obsessed with money.

Recalling the news that the spy had reported earlier, the emperor looked at Jiang Zhiyu with a kind look.

Such a good child, yet he suffered so much in the Prime Minister's Mansion...

When you get back, give her some rewards and increase her salary.

Fortunately, the previous emperor had raided the homes of many corrupt officials before, otherwise the treasury would be empty and he really didn’t know what to use to lure Zhiyu.

Xu Yanli also looked at Jiang Zhiyu with heartache.

The daughter of the prime minister's family values ​​money so much. When she was in the prime minister's family, she must have been treated harshly by her father!

Thinking of this, Xu Yanli's resentment towards Jiang Zhaorong increased.

Jiang Zhiyu had no idea what the two of them were imagining. Just thinking about the possible money she could get made her burst into joy.

There was unprecedented enthusiasm when seeing the emperor off.

emperor:"……"

…

When they returned to the palace, the captain had been waiting outside the imperial study for a long time. As the emperor walked in, he took off his fox robe and handed it to Fuping.

"How is Princess Nan Gu's injury?"

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has gone to see him. He's fine, but he needs to stay in bed for a while."

The emperor nodded slightly, and the captain summarized what happened on the street to the emperor without waiting for him to ask any questions.

When talking about Prince Yu, he looked hesitant and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, I have inquired privately and found out that His Royal Highness Prince Yu is looking for a young woman in the capital. I thought he wanted to take a concubine, but I never thought he actually wanted to..."

A trace of disgust flashed in Qianhu's eyes, and he didn't continue speaking.

The emperor sneered: "After all these years, you still haven't made any progress!"

Drinking those things can make you look younger. I don’t know what’s wrong with him that he actually believes that!

The emperor took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Prince Yu now?"

"He was talking to the Queen Mother in Cining Palace," the captain replied. "When I passed by, I heard Prince Yu tell the Queen Mother that he wanted to find something and go see the Princess."

See the princess?

The emperor snorted softly, "I think his visit to the patient is fake, but his intention is to win him over."

Qianhu lowered his head and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his back.

The brother of the current emperor went to win over Nan Gu. The deep meaning behind this was known to Qianhu even if he just thought about it.

When it comes to the throne, Qianhu feels that even if he is blind and deaf, it is better than kneeling here and listening to the emperor scolding Prince Yu.

The emperor had scolded enough and suddenly stood up, took the fox robe from Fu Ping and put it on again: "Let's go to the Cining Palace."

…

In the Cining Palace, Song Shiwei stood beside the empress dowager with her head lowered, listening to Prince Yu's complaint.

"You don't know how bold Jiang Zhiyu is. Relying on the favor of my royal brother, she has become lawless and doesn't even take me seriously!"

A sharp light flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she stroked her long armor: "Let alone you, she doesn't even take Ai seriously."

Prince Yu opened his eyes wide and said in surprise, "How can you say that? You are the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother sighed softly, "So what if I'm the Queen Mother? I still have to give the Emperor face. As for Jiang Zhiyu, I was kind enough to arrange a marriage for her, but she's so unkind that she openly scolds me. How uneducated!"

Prince Yu took a deep breath.

Insulting the Queen Mother to her face?

Compared with her, Prince Yu felt strangely comforted.

"You didn't punish her for such rude words?"

The Queen Mother sighed again, "I thought so too, but as soon as I said a word, your brother started to contradict me, saying that she was still young and that it was not worth arguing with her. But Shi Wei is only a few years older than her. She is well-educated and well-mannered, and I wonder how Jiang Zhaorong brought her up!"
