Chapter 84 Lowering oneself to beg for Shan Xi
"How could you be so blinded by greed and agree to him?" After hearing this, Shan Mingyuan glared at Shan Yurou with a look of utter disappointment!
The pill that Shan Yurou had obtained was something he had begged for and pleaded with with great difficulty.
So she turned around and agreed to the Crown Prince's proposal?
Shan Mingyuan had made up his mind that even if the Crown Prince asked him to find a way to get it, steal it, or rob it, he would never give in!
"I...I didn't mean it, Father, you..." Shan Yuru was about to plead when Shan Mingyuan coldly interrupted her, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Shan Mingyuan's refusal was decisive and straightforward: "Three forbidden drugs?"
"Do you think banned drugs are like cabbages growing on the roadside? You can just take them whenever you want?"
"I've already gone to great lengths to get this banned drug from you, and now you're asking me for three more? Do you think that's even possible?"
One was enough to terrify him; if two more came, he'd rather smash his head against that pillar and die.
Seeing that Shan Mingyuan would never help her no matter what, Shan Yurou fell into despair.
She has already agreed; if she cannot keep her promise, her chances of becoming the Crown Princess are slim.
While hesitating, Shan Yurou suddenly thought of someone—Shanxi!
“That bitch Shanxi can definitely get the forbidden medicine through the Alchemist Guild.” A glimmer of hope flashed in Shan Yurou’s eyes, but she hesitated again. “But asking that bitch Shanxi for help is worse than killing me.”
But thinking of the Crown Prince's expectations and her own future, Shan Yurou gritted her teeth and decided to humble herself and beg Shanxi.
Compared to death, face suddenly seems insignificant.
Shan Yurou stood up and walked towards the main courtyard where Shanxi was.
Throughout the journey, Shan Yurou's feelings were particularly complicated.
She both hoped that Shanxi would agree to help her, and feared Shanxi's ridicule...
Finally arriving at the main courtyard of the Shan family, however, upon hearing that she had come to see Shanxi, Old Master Chen refused without hesitation: "How strange! It's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken; it's all ill intentions."
Shan Yurou blushed, but still forced herself to say, "I...I really have no other choice. We need three forbidden drugs. Could you ask Shan Xi to help us?"
As if to absolve herself of responsibility, Shan Yurou hurriedly explained, "The Southern Dynasty is despicable; they actually bought banned drugs on the black market. If our Dynasty were to honestly participate in the competition, I'm afraid..."
"That's your business, what does it have to do with Miss?" Old Master Chen looked at Shan Yurou as if she were a fool.
Upon hearing this, Shan Yurou panicked and quickly said, "I know this is difficult, but Shanxi will definitely have a way."
"If she's willing to help me with this, I... I'll definitely treat her well from now on and never go against her again."
As she spoke, Shan Yurou clasped her hands together, adopting a devout prayer posture.
Upon hearing this, Old Master Chen rolled his eyes and exclaimed, "Impossible!"
Just as he finished speaking, Shanxi walked out of the courtyard, looking as if he was about to leave.
"Miss, are you going out?" Old Master Chen hurriedly went to greet her, his smile amiable, a far cry from the eye-rolling attitude he had shown earlier.
Shanxi nodded and was about to go out when Shan Yurou spread her arms and blocked her way.
"Shanxi, as long as you're willing to help me, I can forgive and forget everything you did to me before!" Shanyu said breathlessly.
Upon hearing this, Shanxi frowned instantly.
Let bygones be bygones?
What do you mean by "forgive and forget"?
Stealing Shanxi's identity and misappropriating the identity of the eldest daughter of the Shan family will not be punished in the past?
"Are you out of your mind?" Shanxi gave Shan Yurou a cold look and walked right past her.
Seeing this, Shan Yurou quickly stopped Shanxi again: "You think of a way to get the Alchemist Guild to sell me two forbidden pills. I promise you, once I become the Crown Princess, you'll get plenty of benefits!"
Old Master Chen, standing to the side, could hardly bear to watch.
"How can a young girl like you be so shameless?" Old Master Chen couldn't help but scold.
If this were his Chen family's daughter, he would have beaten her to death with sticks.
"I'm talking to Shanxi, and you have no right to interrupt!" Shan Yurou glared fiercely at Old Master Chen!
You old geezer!
Not only did they refuse to help her relay messages, but they also dared to insult her?
They've been slaves for so long that they think they're masters!
Sun-hee looked at Shan-yu-rou as if she were a fool: "With your Crown Princess, whom you can lose at any time?"
Shan Yurou was hit where it hurt, and feeling both anxious and angry, she couldn't help but say, "Don't go too far!"
"You're nothing but a good-for-nothing. If it weren't for Grandpa's help, would you have achieved what you have today?"
"You won't even do me a favor now? Don't you have any sense of kinship?"
"Don't forget! I'm here for your Shan family's sake. If I lose, it won't benefit your Shan family either!"
Upon hearing this, Shanxi's face darkened, and he said, "First, I will not help you! Second, I can tell you clearly that the Alchemist Guild does not sell this medicine. Third, since you want it so badly, I might as well point you in the right direction."
"Instead of wasting your time and effort here, you might as well go to the black market and ask around. If you keep trying, you'll eventually stumble upon a few lucky ones."
Lulu has already discussed with the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty that everyone will be tested before the competition.
Even if Shan Yurou managed to buy the banned drugs, she wouldn't be able to use them!
Upon hearing this, Shan Yurou's eyes lit up immediately: "Are you telling the truth? But how do you know about the black market?"
How could a good-for-nothing like Shanxi know about the existence of the black market?
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." After saying that, Shanxi left without looking back.
Seeing this, Old Master Chen quickly followed, and before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and glare at Shan Yurou.
What a shameless bastard!
How dare you threaten me?
They won't even know how to write the word "death" anymore!
In the renowned restaurant of Junchao.
As agreed with Old Master Shan, Shanxi arrived at the private room on the third floor.
As soon as the door opened, I saw Old Master Shan sitting upright in the middle, looking like a quail.
Inside the private room, there was not only Old Master Shan, but also... a whole bunch of people!
The room was packed with people, almost bursting at the seams.
When Old Master Chen saw the other people in the private room, his pupils suddenly contracted. He almost instinctively wanted to back out, but one of them grabbed his collar and dragged him inside.
"My little darling, it's been so long, I've missed you so much."
"Tsk tsk, he woke up without saying a word, making us search for him everywhere."
"This time, no matter what, I won't let you leave easily."
As they spoke, the group stood on each of the four sides of the private room, blocking all four exits.
"Great...Great-Grandma, they all know." Old Master Shan shrank his head, feeling so oppressed that he wanted to hide under the table.
Shanxi glanced at Old Master Shan and comforted him, "It's alright, what's meant to come will come sooner or later."
As she spoke, she slowly sat down at the table, coldly sweeping her gaze across the crowd: "You're bullying my people like this, aren't you showing me far too little respect?"
