This answer made Qian Ruoyu very satisfied. Then he left the city gate and returned to the palace with the golden lotus.

Along the way, Jin Lianhua had no complaints about Qian Ruoyu at all, and she went wherever Qian Ruoyu said, looking like she would obey his orders.

This made Qian Ruoyu feel even more satisfied with Jin Lianhua. She didn't expect that she could save such a personal bodyguard just by passing by.

From now on, you don’t have to worry about your personal safety anymore.

Therefore, after returning, Qian Ruoyu immediately spoke to Jin Lianhua with concern.

"Lotus, you have come a long way today. Go study hard. We can talk about this matter tomorrow."

Hearing Qian Ruoyu say this, Jin Lianhua blinked.

She nodded and returned to her room, and Qian Ruoyu also decided to have a good rest in the room.

But just after Qian Ruoyu woke up, a person appeared in front of Qian Ruoyu, that was Li Zhiyi.

Li Zhiyi came to Yueya Pavilion alone and rested in the pavilion in the courtyard of Yueya Pavilion.

After Qian Ruoyu woke up, he saw Li Zhiyi resting in the pavilion. He was extremely confused, so he immediately called Yan'er to his side.

After calling Yan'er over, Qian Ruoyu directly stretched out her slender jade finger and pointed at Li Zhiyi who was resting in the pavilion.

When Yan'er saw Qian Ruoyu's actions, she immediately understood what Qian Ruoyu meant, so she whispered to Qian Ruoyu.

"Your Highness, less than an hour after you rested, the Concubine came... She didn't say much after she came, and just said she would wait for you to wake up."

After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu felt extremely puzzled, but then he came into the pavilion.

At this time, Li Zhiyi was actually taking a nap with one hand leaning on the stone table.

“Ahem.”

Qian Ruoyu coughed lightly, and Li Zhiyi immediately woke up from her nap. Suddenly, when she saw Qian Ruoyu in front of her, she became nervous and a little surprised.

Seeing her like this, Qian Ruoyu felt extremely puzzled. She had no idea why Li Zhiyi came to see her at this time.

Qian Ruoyu just looked into Li Zhiyi's eyes and didn't speak immediately.

After a few blinks of silence, Li Zhiyi finally spoke.

"This...I...Can I borrow some money from you?"

Qian Ruoyu smiled immediately after hearing this. She never thought that she would come to her in person to borrow money.

This kind of thing is neither big nor small.

After all, Li Zhiyi was a concubine and she was the principal wife, so it was not a big deal for the concubine to borrow money from her.

But before that, the two of them had a fight at home.

This statement made people even more suspicious whether she had other purposes.

Li Zhiyi's appearance made Qian Ruoyu puzzled, but Qian Ruoyu asked without hesitation.

"reason?"

Li Zhiyi hesitated for a moment, clenching her hands tightly.

Finally said.

"Dan'er...Dan'er's father lost a lot of money in gambling, and in the end, he gambled away Dan'er as well...and the creditors demanded that Dan'er's father hand over Dan'er immediately, otherwise they would take action against her father..."

"Now, with no other options, Dan'er has returned home."

After hearing this, Qian Ruoyu remembered that this was the reason why Dan'er did not stay with Li Zhiyi.

Qian Ruoyu just asked calmly.

"How much silver?"

Qian Ruoyu's words were neither salty nor bland. It didn't look like she wanted to borrow money, but she didn't look like she wanted to refuse either, which made Li Zhiyi hesitate.

Li Zhiyi also felt a little regretful in her heart.

But after thinking about it, Li Zhiyi finally said.

"Fifty taels of silver...just fifty taels of silver in total!"

"If you lend it to me, I promise to return it to you within three months! I mean what I say..."

When Qian Ruoyu heard this, she just smiled.

But he felt a little unhappy in his heart. Dan'er was sent away for only fifty taels of silver.

The palace does not have a system of selling one's servants. All the servants in the palace have not signed any so-called indentures. The relationship between them and the palace is just a normal employment relationship.

That's why Dan'er was taken away this time. Otherwise, this matter would have nothing to do with Dan'er.

Just fifty taels of silver were enough to put Dan'er in trouble, which made Qian Ruoyu feel sad.

Just as Li Zhiyi was about to continue persuading Qian Ruoyu to borrow money, Qian Ruoyu simply raised his hand and spoke to Yan'er beside him.

"Yan'er, go get fifty taels of silver."

After hearing Qian Ruoyu's words, Yan'er quickly turned around and went back to the room, and took out fifty taels of silver at once.

Fifty taels of silver only weighed a few kilograms. Yan'er easily took it to Qian Ruoyu and placed it directly on the stone table.

At this time, the person who was surprised was Li Zhiyi.

Li Zhiyi originally thought that it would take some time to borrow money from Qian Ruoyu, but she didn't expect that Qian Ruoyu would take out our money so easily.

Before coming here, Li Zhiyi had already considered other candidates. After all, the grudges between her and Qian Ruoyu made Li Zhiyi feel that it was extremely unrealistic to borrow money from Qian Ruoyu.

Li Zhiyi considered looking for Zhou Zhubo, the head clerk of the warehouse, but she quickly rejected the idea. After all, it was impossible for the warehouse to lend her money.

On the other hand, she was thinking about borrowing money from Chu Mobai, but Chu Mobai was in the military camp at this time, and as expected, he heard about the huge changes that had taken place at the city gate early in the morning, which made Li Zhiyi afraid to even go out of the city gate.

Even in the morning, Li Zhiyi set out early to the neighboring house to borrow some money from the sisters who played mahjong with her every day.

However, almost everyone could only borrow a few taels of silver, which was not enough to meet the requirements. So Li Zhiyi decided to go all out and directly came to Qian Ruoyu's Yueya Pavilion.

After seeing Qian Ruoyu resting, Li Zhiyi was not anxious or impatient. It was a rare occasion that she waited for Qian Ruoyu for such a long time.

If she could receive the money from Qian Ruoyu, it would be worth her waiting for so long.

Qian Ruoyu said calmly.

"This money is a loan to you. After all, I don't have much surplus food. I am reluctant to lend you this money because you are also the prince's person."

"But let's make it clear first. Although this money has no interest, if you don't pay it back within three months, I have plenty of ways to punish you. Do you understand?"

Li Zhiyi took the silver from the stone table and nodded to Qian Ruoyu.

Although she looked a little aggrieved, it was a rare opportunity to borrow money, so Li Zhiyi felt a little happier in her heart.

She could only borrow money from Qian Ruoyu. In the palace, since the prince was not at home, she had the most money and could get cash the fastest.
