Nan Qianyue opened her mouth and said, "I'm just a novice doctor, I can't treat such a serious injury as yours. You should find a famous doctor to treat you."
Xie Yanzhou closed his eyes briefly, and tears welled up in his eyes and streamed down his face, but he smiled—a smile that spread from the softest part of his heart.
He touched his left chest, his voice, as clear as flowing spring water, slightly hoarse, "It hurts here, and only you can cure it."
Southward Migration Month: "..."
If an ordinary man said or did those things, it would be considered pure, childish flirting, incredibly cheesy.
But he was exceptionally handsome, and even his sickly appearance couldn't stop him from exuding charm.
Just as Nanqianyue was about to reply, she suddenly felt an icy arrow pierce her, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
She couldn't help but look up and immediately spotted the man sitting on the gold-platform viewing platform, Qin Yi.
Their eyes met; one was calm with a hint of indifference, the other was a mixture of ice and fire, extremely aggressive.
Nanqian Yue turned her gaze away first, then looked at Xie Yanzhou and said, "There are too many people around today, so it's not convenient to talk in detail. Take me back and tell my father, and then he can find an opportunity for you and me to have a proper talk."
Her voice wasn't loud, but those nearby, as well as those with profound inner strength, all heard it.
Talk? Talk about what?
It's definitely about getting married!
Everyone got to enjoy the gossip again.
Xie Yanzhou noticed the gaze of Prince Anzheng upstairs. He glanced at him briefly but did not pursue the matter for the time being. "Alright, I'll do as you say."
He also had a lot to say to her, and many questions remained unanswered.
After several rounds of conversation, the third item was brought up for auction on the stage.
The auctioneer said, "Qinan incense is made in a red gold box, with a hook adorned with two dragons and gleaming white jade. Originating from Kunlun Mountain, it exudes a precious aura, and its fragrance spreads like heavenly scents in the imperial court. This is Qinan incense; ants eat rock honey, leaving their residue inside, and the wood absorbs the honey's aroma, thus forming the incense..."
"Starting bid: three thousand taels!"
Those present were all people of status and position, and they did not show any weakness because of the price, so the room was relatively quiet.
When bidding, there will be servants holding up bidding paddles.
Xie Yanzhou looked up and gave Miss Xie a look. She immediately understood that this was what they had come to bid for. Her grandmother's medicine was only missing this auxiliary incense.
The auctioneer glanced at the east corner and said, "Three thousand five hundred taels!"
Immediately afterwards, West Corner raised his paddle, "Four thousand taels!"
"Five thousand taels!" someone upstairs started bidding as well.
"..."
This agarwood is in high demand; one bid after another is being placed, and the price is getting more and more outrageous.
Nanqianyue leisurely sipped his tea, not participating in the auction, but still finding it somewhat interesting to watch.
"Fourteen thousand taels!"
Suddenly, a sign was put up for the Silver Shop private room, and the price was so high that it made people in the lobby hesitate.
It's not that I can't afford it, but I feel it's not worth the price. Compared to my needs, it's not worth bidding any more.
The auctioneer chuckled, "Fourteen thousand taels, any more esteemed guests wishing to raise the price?"
After a moment of silence, the sign for the bronze-lettered private room was revealed.
"Twenty thousand taels!"
Tsk tsk tsk, the audience gasped in amazement. As expected of the Xie family, the richest family in Beijing, their move was astonishing.
The eldest princess in the Silver Pavilion's private room immediately turned cold. She glanced at the second prince and said sarcastically, "Your cousin is really generous. She even dares to snatch what I, the princess, have my eye on."
The second prince glanced at her and said, "Grandmother is seriously ill and needs this Qinan incense to save her life. Your Highness has countless rare treasures in your mansion, why are you fixated on this one piece of incense?"
The princess was speechless, her lips pressed tightly together. Her cold gaze swept over the bronze-class private room, over the Southern Migration Moon in the main hall, and finally settled on the viewing platform of the gold-class private room, where her gaze gradually changed.
"Twenty-two or three times!"
Thump—
The auctioneer struck the gavel, "Congratulations, Miss Xie, on winning the incense!"
Looking down from the south, in the copper-colored private room, Miss Xie looked like a pure and innocent girl.
Beneath her innocent appearance lies the refined air of a well-bred young lady.
"Qianqian, that's my twin sister." Xie Yanzhou's tone was clearly explaining, as he was afraid that Nan Qianyue might have misunderstood something.
Nan Qianyue couldn't help but smile. "I know, I just heard her call you brother."
This sounds like the boyfriend is desperately trying to survive.
She only felt that this Mr. Xie was familiar, which was why she was willing to talk to him a few more times, so as not to make it seem like they were a couple.
"Miss, I think I've seen the young master," the woman in green behind her suddenly said.
Nanqianyue's eyelids twitched, and she turned her eyes searching, "Where is it?"
The man in green pointed to the boy on the viewing platform of the Jiazi VIP room on the north side, who was deliberately backing away.
Nan Qianyue followed her gaze and indeed saw Nan Yichu looking timid and hesitant.
Even the pageboy next to him, upon seeing Nan Qianyue looking over, immediately squatted down beside Nan Yichu.
"Young master, the young lady saw you, you shouldn't have come out," the pageboy said anxiously.
Nan Yichu forced herself to remain calm, her stubbornness and defiance extinguishing any panic on her face. "What's there to be afraid of? She's here too, and she's even shoving and pulling at another man. If she dares to complain to my father, I'll report her for having an affair!"
Page: Weren't you just envying other people's lightness skills? Now you keep calling them "outsiders".
The pageboy felt that the young master was deceiving himself and couldn't help but remind him, "Young master, given how much the Prime Minister dotes on the eldest daughter, he probably won't blame her. But you..."
I'm afraid the Prime Minister and his wife will take turns disciplining him.
Nan Yichu was about to break down. "Shut up! If she dares to sue me, I'll... I'll... I'll smash up her Qingyun Courtyard!"
Pageboy: "..." Then you're probably going to get another beating.
