Chapter 1205 Reminder
The prince stopped and looked at them curiously, "What are you doing? Are you planning to escape?"
Everyone looked up, and except Bai Shan, Man Bao and Bai Erlang, no one recognized him, so Zhou Wulang and others just looked up and then continued to count the money. There was no way, their memory was not very good, and they forgot how much they had counted after being interrupted.
Was it eighty-five taels or ninety-five taels?
Bai Shan and the other two quickly reacted and quickly got up from the ground and saluted, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The silver in Zhou Wulang and the others' hands slipped, and they looked up at the prince in shock. At this moment, they really forgot how much they had counted.
Several people did not stand up, but knelt down in a squatting position.
The prince waved his hand to excuse them from the formalities, dragged a chair over and sat down, then raised his chin to signal Bai Shan to answer.
Bai Shan then told him about the bounty from yesterday and said, "We will split the money equally between our two families. We are counting the money that Manbao wants to give to our family."
The prince glanced at the gold and silver on the ground and said with a curled lip, "It's just over four hundred taels of gold, why are you still fussing about it?"
Manbao was unhappy. "This is almost all my savings. I have saved it for several years. How can I not care about it?"
The prince waved his hand and said, "Alright, the queen is not feeling well. She hasn't been eating or sleeping well lately. If you can cure her, I will reward you with 500 gold."
Manbao blinked, her heart was moved, but she had always been a practical and down-to-earth child. In the end, she shook her head and sighed, "No, the Queen's illness is not that easy to cure. The best I can do is alleviate it. I need the help of Xiao Yuanzheng and the others."
"Then ease it." Although the prince was a little disappointed, he was mentally prepared and quickly changed his goal.
Manbao immediately said, "That's no problem. I'll go to the palace tomorrow and give the queen acupuncture."
The prince frowned, "Does it have to be acupuncture?"
Man Bao said, "It's best to combine it with acupuncture. Otherwise, Xiao Yuanzheng and the others can prescribe the same medicine as me."
The prince's face tightened. His mother said that she didn't want Zhou Man to see the doctor at this time, so she would definitely not see her.
All the people in his family are like this, they are very stubborn.
So the prince rubbed his forehead and said, "Okay, I'll find a way to get you into the palace, but you have to dress up."
Bai Shan frowned, "Why is that? It's not like she can't see people. She has treated the Queen before."
The Crown Prince glanced at him and said, "Although the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, she is not completely confused. She really hates you now. It's okay for you to stay outside the palace, but if you go into the palace openly, do you think she will call you over to have a talk?"
Manbao and Baishan shuddered at the same time, and immediately nodded solemnly, saying, "The dress is not bad. It is our honor to be able to treat the Queen."
The prince was satisfied with this and waved his hand, saying, "Don't worry, you will get the reward."
After the prince finished speaking about important matters, he stood up to leave, and Bai Shan led everyone to bow and see him off.
The prince suddenly paused, turned around and looked at them, and asked, "You are indeed brave, but you are still too impulsive. The timing is not very good."
Bai Shan and Man Bao were secretly complaining in their hearts, isn’t that for you and the third prince?
Although the two had no actual evidence, based on the few words they heard from Lord Wei and Old Lord Tang, they believed that the reason why the Emperor was so difficult to tolerate the King of Yizhou and didn't even celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday with him was because of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
But when they looked at the prince at this time, he seemed to know nothing.
The prince looked concerned for them and said earnestly, "After this matter, you should leave the capital for a while and come back when you are older."
Bai Shan then looked up and asked, "Why?"
The prince curled his lips and said, "Do you know how many families are implicated this time?"
Bai Shan and Man Bao shook their heads together, and they just stared at King Yizhou.
The Crown Prince said, "Officials and families from Longyou, Jiannan, and even Jiangnan are implicated in this, not to mention the merchants who have been transporting grain and buying horses for him over the years. Who knows how many of these people resent you? If you stay in the capital, you will be targets. So after this is over, you should leave. Wait ten or eight years, until the world has mostly forgotten about it, and then you can return to the capital."
Bai Shan and Man Bao obviously hadn't expected this and were stunned for a moment.
"But before you leave, you have to cure my mother," the prince said to Manbao.
Manbao was about to speak when the prince also remembered and raised his hand to interrupt her, "I remember now. If you can't cure it, then you can pass on your acupuncture skills to a palace maid and let her specialize in acupuncture for the queen in the future."
Seeing Manbao staring without saying anything, the prince said unhappily, "Why, you don't want to?"
"That's not the case. I just suddenly remembered that there are female doctors in the Imperial Hospital, right?"
The prince said calmly, "There are female doctors, but they are there to assist the concubines during childbirth and postpartum care. They only know some medical knowledge and medicinal methods, but they are far from being able to cure diseases."
Manbao then said, "Then just teach them. Why choose a palace maid who knows nothing and teach her all over again?"
The prince thought so and said, "Alright, I'll send some female doctors to you to choose from. You can choose two and teach them as best you can."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Bai Shan and Man Bao walked him to the door.
Bai Erlang sat back in his chair as soon as he saw the person leave, patting his chest and saying, "Really? Why didn't you give me a name before you came?"
Zhou Wulang and the others just sat on the ground, still a little dazed. "Did we meet the prince?"
Bai Jilang on the opposite side nodded.
Zhou Lizhong couldn't help but ask, "Is he the emperor's son?"
Bai Jilang nodded.
Zhou Liwei swallowed and said, "What about the prince? He will be the emperor in the future. Oh my god, we have seen the future emperor."
Bai Erlang didn't nod this time. He looked around and saw that they were all his own people, so he lowered his voice and said, "It's not certain yet. Don't be too happy."
Zhou Lijun also asked quietly, "Is it because he is not a good prince that he may not be able to become emperor?"
A cough was heard from the study, and several heads that had been gathered together immediately dispersed. Everyone sat up straight, lowered their heads, and seemed to be counting money very seriously.
But in fact, you just hold the gold or silver in your hand and feel it, and you have no idea how much you have counted. Well, you have to count again.
But they are not in the mood right now.
As for the future emperor, even if he cannot become the emperor, he will still be the prince, which will be enough for them to brag about for the rest of their lives when they return to the village.
Bai Erlang was already counting money. He had even met the emperor, no, he had met the emperor's entire family. There was really nothing to be nervous about.
Bai Shan and Man Bao came back and sat on the futon with a calm face and continued to count the money.
Bai Erlang looked at them and asked, "So, once the King of Yizhou is captured, we'll leave the capital?"
Bai Shan tossed the gold in his hand and said with a smile: "Why rush? Things will work out in the end. But we have to appreciate his kindness."
Manbao nodded.
See you at 4 p.m.
