Ever since Qu Feng arrived in the Central Plains, he has been eating, drinking and having fun all the way, and it seems that he is going to spend all the 500,000 taels of gold notes.

Ding Tu is not like Qu Feng, he has grand plans in mind.

This grand plan is not the grand plan of a great cause, but the grand plan of Bei Yanming’s second son Bei Hongtu.

Ever since Ding Tu met Bei Hongtu a few years ago, he has never thought of anything else in his heart. But who is he? He is just an attendant of Qu Feng. If he doesn't follow Qu Feng, he can't even enter the palace gate and see his beloved.

If Qu Feng worked hard and strived to become a general, maybe he would be able to get an official position. At that time, as long as he could watch Bei Hongtu from afar, he would be satisfied.

But Qu Feng relied on his father being a general and lived a life of extravagance. If these 500,000 taels of gold notes were squandered, how could they return to report?

So Ding Tu took a risk. He stole 400,000 taels of gold notes, not to embezzle them, but to find someone from the Black Mountain Gate to kill Su Bei, and then return to the north to claim the credit.

"Four hundred thousand taels of gold notes to buy a life!" Ding Tu placed the gold notes in front of the doctor in front of him.

The doctor glanced down and curled the corners of his lips.

No one could have imagined that the famous Black Mountain Sect's covert industry would be doctors. They give life with one hand and die with the other. If you ask them to kill someone and then save someone, you can make money twice with the same life...

"Tell me, whose life do you want to buy?"

"The capital, the imperial palace, the queen." Ding Tu spoke word by word.

The doctor's smile froze, but he immediately said, "Leave the gold note here, and I'll tell you in three days whether you can take it."

Ding Tu had no experience in hiring someone to kill someone, but he had to pretend to be experienced, so he nodded and agreed.

This happened hundreds of miles away from the capital, so Su Bei didn't know about it, and neither did Chu Younan.

But Su Xiujie's master Jiang Liu came unexpectedly.

It seems like we don't have much contact with each other normally, could it be...

Did he want to ask for the reward for making the antidote last time? Su Bei hurriedly said, "Divine Doctor Jiang's medical skills are indeed excellent. The antidote he made last time was very good. The emperor has been worried about what reward to give you."

What I mean is, we are not refusing to pay you, we were planning to give it to you anyway.

Jiang Liu's eyes sparkled, "Then... let me go to the treasury and pick one?"

"Uh... let me report to the emperor." Su Bei laughed awkwardly. He knew that this old man was greedy for money. He really didn't know why he wanted so much silver!

Jiang Liu glanced at Zhizi and raised his chin, "Why don't you report it quickly?"

Su Bei picked up the teacup to hide her embarrassment, but she was mentally prepared for the fact that this old man would never suffer any loss.

Gardenia looked at Su Bei, and when she saw her nod, she went downstairs.

Seeing her go down, Jiang Liu moved forward with a smile.

Su Bei was startled. He felt that the old man was smiling with ill intentions. Did he want a mountain of gold or a mountain of silver? Jiang Liu lowered his voice and said, "Girl, I want to discuss something with you."

"Uh...you say..." Su Bei answered reluctantly.

Jiang Liu smiled slyly, "You, fake your own death."

Su Bei was surprised: "Huh?"

"I said, you pretend to be dead once, and then I will give you 100,000 taels of silver." Jiang Liu looked at her seriously.

Su Bei was completely confused by him.

Jiang Liu thought she was not satisfied with the price, so he was generous and said, "How about this, two hundred thousand taels!"

"Uh...can I ask why?" Su Bei asked suspiciously.

"Don't ask! Just tell me whether you are willing or not, and I will give you another 100,000 taels!" Jiang Liu's expression became serious.

Su Bei thought about it and shook his head, "It's not appropriate, right? It's not that easy for me to die..."

"Four hundred thousand." Jiang Liu was generous again.

"No, I really can't..."

"Five hundred thousand."

The two of them went back and forth, and Jiang Liu actually raised the price to two million taels of silver, which is two hundred thousand taels of gold.

This is not a small amount. Su Bei was really puzzled. "Why did you want me to fake my death?"

"Don't ask so many questions. Just think about it. I'm sitting so close to you that I can kill you in time. I've already given you 200,000 taels of gold. If you don't agree, I'm afraid I'll have to think of other ways." When Jiang Liu said this, a light flashed in his eyes.

It was as if someone was trying to steal his money and he was protecting his food.

It seems that Su Bei has to agree to this matter. However, a sly light flashed in her eyes, and then she said: "This is a big deal. I have to inform the emperor. Otherwise, it will not be a small matter. I am afraid that the Wu Kingdom will be in chaos."

"Okay. You only have three days anyway." After Jiang Liu said that, he immediately stood up and walked out, leaving Su Bei confused.

Thinking carefully about the sentence "You only have three days", it was really terrifying. Su Bei immediately brought Su Xiujie into the palace.

When Su Xiujie arrived, he said with a happy face: "I was just about to send someone to the palace to tell you the good news. Your sister-in-law is pregnant."

"Uh... congratulations!" Su Bei answered perfunctorily. After that, he stretched out his arm and said, "Take my pulse."

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Su Xiujie asked as he walked forward and took her pulse.

Seeing his eyes becoming more and more serious, Su Bei knew that something bad had happened. The old man Jiang Liu must have poisoned her.

Unexpectedly, Su Xiujie raised his head and asked, "Did you miss taking your medicine?"

"Um?"

"You've been pregnant for two months, and you didn't know it?"

Su Bei's attention was suddenly drawn to him, and she thought carefully. It seemed that there were two days when she forgot to take the medicine, and then she was having sex with Chu Younan...

"It's been two months..." Su Bei touched her belly and muttered quietly, and suddenly remembered, "No, no, I want you to see if I have any other problems..."

"Uh... let me take your number again." Su Xiujie said, taking her pulse again.

Before he could get the result, Tang Jiang's clear voice came in again, "The Emperor has arrived!"

Seeing Chu Younan coming in, Su Xiujie hurriedly saluted and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty, the Queen is pregnant!"

Chu Younan was overjoyed and hurried forward to hold Su Bei's hand, "Are you really pregnant? I said that we don't have many children and we should have more!"

"Uh... I don't know. There was no reaction this time." Su Bei said perfunctorily to him and turned to Su Xiujie.

But before she could speak, Su Xiujie said, "Although this is not the first time your Majesty is pregnant, you still need to pay close attention. I will go back and prepare the pregnancy-preserving medicine to ensure the safety of your Majesty and your child."

“Okay, okay! Just tell me what herbs you need!” Chu Younan smiled from ear to ear, as if he was a father for the first time.
