"Brother."

Gao Zhu walked in.

Takasugi put down the ledger in his hand.

"minister--"

"Brother, there's no need for such formalities."

Gao Zhu sat down.

"Has brother calculated this year's harvest?"

"Um!"

Gao Zhu nodded.

"Even if we take out all of it, it will only solve the immediate problem."

"There are quite a few people in the Yuan Dynasty who suffer from tuberculosis."

"Brother, I'm afraid I'm willing but unable to help."

"Brother, don't worry, I have a good plan."

"Does Consort Gao intend to make Chen Wan'er's family return this year's harvest?"

"yes."

"This matter is not that simple. Chen Pan's consent is required. He saw that the Yuan Dynasty was in short supply of medicinal herbs and had long anticipated that the Emperor would ask him to donate generously, so he ran away early."

"Without his consent as the head of the family, the Chen family would not dare to act on their own."

Gao Zhu sneered.

"Brother, do you think it would be difficult for your sister to find someone in Dayuan?"

Takasugi was taken aback.

"Could it be that my sister knows where Chen Pan is hiding now?"

"I don't know yet, but I can send someone to find it. Brother, you just need to prepare the herbs that the Emperor needs. I will take care of the rest."

Takasugi nodded.

“Sister, your actions are not just for the sake of the people of the Great Yuan, are they? You also have your own selfish motives.”

Gao Zhu nodded.

“A sister doesn’t need to hide anything from her brother.”

"My sister's selfish desire is to avenge our mother."

“Not only Chen Wan’er, but also Father and Sister will be taken action.”

"Back then, he watched me being bullied by Chen Wan'er and chose to stand by and do nothing."

“Since he no longer sees me as his daughter, why should I treat him as my father?”

"Before entering the palace, I wanted to die with them, but after entering the palace, I had to consider my brother's family. If my sister commits murder, my brother's family will inevitably be implicated."

"Of course, my sister needs to plan carefully and act only when she is absolutely certain of success."

Takasugi nodded.

Sigh.

"Oh, little sister, I'm so sorry to have wronged you."

"As long as I can avenge my mother in the end, I won't consider it a wrong!"

After returning to the palace.

Consort Gao went directly to Huafeng Palace.

Xu Qingzhi glanced at her.

"I knew you would come to me asking me to do things for you."

"Your Majesty is wise and can foresee the future."

Xu Qingzhi asked her to sit down.

"Finding Chen Pan isn't difficult."

"Before the prescription was circulated, I had already ordered people to keep a close eye on Chen Pan."

Consort Gao was taken aback.

"Your Majesty truly has the ability to rule the six palaces, but my sister did not think of these things at first."

Xu Qingzhi waved her hand.

"There's no need for such flattery. Now, all I want from you is a single truth."

"If I find Chen Pan, what will you do?"

“Even if my sister does nothing, the Emperor will still order her to vomit up the Chinese herbal medicine.”

Xu Qingzhi smiled.

Is that all?

"Don't you want his life? Or don't you want Chen Wan'er's life?"

"Yes! The younger sister wouldn't dare to deceive the older sister; the younger sister has always wanted to kill them."

Xu Qingzhi reminded.

"Murder is a serious crime, especially when it's a personal vendetta."

"However, if they were guilty first, it would be perfectly reasonable for the Emperor to order their execution, and no one could find fault with it."

"Chen Pan pretended to travel around the world, but he could use this as an excuse to say that he was unaware of such a major event that had occurred in the Great Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, he was unable to relieve the Emperor's worries. Now that he has traveled all over the world and knows that the Great Yuan Dynasty urgently needs medicinal herbs, he is naturally willing to generously donate all his money."

"With such a reason, no one can find fault with him. Moreover, Chen Pan's actions will surely be praised by the people of the world. If you kill him at this time, no matter that you are a concubine, you will not be able to avoid being ordered to commit suicide by the emperor."

Consort Gao thought about it carefully.

"What you say makes sense, sister. Are we just going to let this go?"

Xu Qingzhi said, "I know you have a deep hatred for them!"

"I also know that you are upright and honest."

"I can lend you a hand in this matter."

Xu Qingzhi took out a brocade box, opened it, and inside was a red pill.

"Your Majesty, this is—"

"This is a 'blood pill'. Just squeeze it gently and fresh blood will spurt out."

"This kind of thing is very common on the black market. It's bought by people who have lost their virginity before marriage."

"On the wedding night, pretend to be a virgin."

“Find a pretext to get Chen Wan’er, or your father, to take action against you.”

"I don't need to teach you what to do next, do I?"

Consort Gao nodded immediately.

"I understand, sister! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"only--"

Consort Gao had doubts in her heart.

"My sister doesn't understand, why is Your Majesty helping me?"

Xu Qingzhi said it casually.

“I know what you suffered in the Duke’s mansion since you were a child.”

“We are all women. You have never done anything wrong, yet you have to suffer this torment.”

"Not to mention, your mother was killed by a concubine."

“Any child with a sense of justice would try to avenge their mother in this situation.”

"If I do not grant your request, and one day you act rashly, not only will you fail to avenge yourself, but you will also leave evidence of your crimes. Even if the Emperor does not punish you, he will not be able to convince the public."
