"Sure enough." Chang An lowered his eyes and picked up the ingot of silver, "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."

"Did he make the medicine today?"

"Yes." Ci Dong lowered his eyebrows. "In fact, I saw him throw away the medicine and put brown sugar. I have prepared the medicine. Shall I bring it to His Highness now?"

Chang An whispered a few more words to her and left the hall.

After a while, Ci Dong entered the inner hall carrying a bowl of new medicine and a plate of dried fruits.

Helian Yu was happily fiddling with the red coral. When she was hanging a small bell on it, she smelled a familiar medicinal scent and her face froze.

"It's ready so soon?"

Ci Dong put the medicine bowl on the table and glanced at Xingchun. "This is the new medicine that Sister Xingchun asked me to prepare."

Helian Yu frowned and could only hold the medicine bowl and gulp it down.

While chewing the dried fruit, Helian Yu had a flash of inspiration.

"You knew the medicine was problematic, yet you still made me drink it!"

Xingchun and Cidong quickly knelt down and apologized.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, but this matter is of great importance. If a servant dares to tamper with your medicine, there is no guarantee that he will do something more harmful to your Highness for money in the future."

"The medicine is not poisonous. Are you just trying to delay my illness? I won't die then! Isn't this unnecessary?"

"Your Highness, please do not speak nonsense. You are a blessed man, how can you talk about life and death lightly?" Xingchun reminded nervously.

"Okay, okay." Helian Yu pulled the two of them but failed to pull them up. "Aren't you guys finished talking yet?"

"Your Highness, I risk my life to ask you to abolish the silver reward system for the Five Animal Exercises."

Helian Yu opened his mouth and suddenly realized, "There's no need to risk your life. You mean someone is keeping my illness from getting better in order to get a long-term reward?"

"yes."

"Indeed." Helian Yu exhaled, "Human beings are greedy."

Ten taels of silver is not a lot, but for an ordinary person, if he spends frugally, it can last for half a year.

It used to be twice a day, but now it’s once a day. When the illness is cured, the money is gone.

When there is temptation, there will always be brave men.

"What did Your Highness do wrong? It was clearly the servants who were greedy and disobeyed your superiors." Xingchun hurried to comfort Helian Yu.

Helian Yu shook his head: "People die for money, birds die for food. Did Chang An go to catch someone?"

"yes."

Helian Yu opened her mouth and closed it again. After several times, she exhaled a foul breath and said, "Let Chang An handle it. Don't go too far. Xingchun ordered that there will be no more ten taels of silver reward in the future. In addition, Master Zhang from the small kitchen makes plum blossoms well, so he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

Xingchun went down to give instructions, and Cidong helped Helian Yu to go to bed.

In the dark night, a small episode at Fengyang Pavilion caused some ripples.

"Pull them out through the corner gate and say that a eunuch died in the palace..."

The blue boots stepped past, leaving behind a few words.

midnight.

Helian Yu couldn't sleep, so he took out his diary.

[Toilet paper! Make a fortune!] [It’s a pity that the points are too few, otherwise I could exchange them for some cannons and various weapons, and shoot anyone who provokes me!] [Forget it, exchange them for something delicious~] Helian Yu yawned and threw the diary to the pillow.

The system considerately plays a lullaby and distributes the points to the backend.

…

The next morning, it rained. It wasn't heavy, but it made the place feel particularly lonely.

Helian Yu was exceptionally energetic.

"Your Highness, His Majesty has ordered Eunuch Chang Hai to deliver a golden and jade money tree, which has been placed on the table in the outer hall." Xingchun introduced to Helian Yu.

"It looks good." Helian Yu touched the jade leaves on the golden jade money tree, "It's both vulgar and elegant."

"Changan!"

"The servant is here."

"When you have time, go ask my father when he is available. I will go to him to express my gratitude."

"Your Highness may as well go at lunch time, so that you can dine with His Majesty. His Majesty will surely be pleased."

Helian Yu curved her eyes and said, "Okay."

Because it was raining, there were fewer people walking on the road in the palace.

Chang An prepared the sedan chair and brought Helian Yu to the Yangxin Palace.

At that time, Helian Su was reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace. When he saw Helian Yu, he waved to her.

Helian Yu ran over carrying her palace dress, and was unlike her in a well-behaved manner, "Zhaoyang greets father."

"You are so polite today. What do you want to say to me?" Helian Su held Helian Yu on his lap and continued to review memorials.

Helian Yu took a look and talked about the Jiangnan Enke event.

"Zhaoyang has given you a gift." Helian Yu was used to jumping around. She would jump around in anyone's arms. Now she was jumping around freely in Helian Su's arms. After jumping around, she jumped twice, stepping on Helian Su's face, which almost turned green. She waved to Chang An, "Hurry and give it to me!"

Helian Su held her down and said, "Sit still. Have you learned all the rules?"

Helian Yu curled his lips, "Oh, Zhaoyang knows his mistake and will definitely change it in the future."

Stay away from him from now on!

Dog emperor! Helian Su gently pinched the flesh of Helian Yu's cheek, "I am free to walk around in and outside of my Zhaoyang Palace, why should I follow these rigid rules?"

Helian Yu quietly rolled his eyes and said flatteringly, "Yeah, father is so nice."

Helian Su: "..."

If other people were so perfunctory, they would deserve to be beheaded.

Unfortunately, this little bitch holds his lifeline.

Chang An presented a roll of toilet paper, which was engraved with delicate patterns, had a light fragrance, and was soft and crumb-free.

"Father, you want to pull now-"

"Your Highness!" Chang An interrupted Helian Yu without caring about etiquette, "Your Highness, please forgive me. How about I explain this to Your Majesty?"

Helian Su glanced at Chang An with a half-smile, and tickled Helian Yu's chin with his fingers, "Tell me, I'm curious about what Zhaoyang will give me."

"Good stuff!" Helian Yu patted Helian Su with her little hand, "I don't want your money."

You'll need money in the future.

Chang An spoke clearly and explained aloud the function of toilet paper.

"If we can reduce the cost, it may benefit the people." Helian Su stroked Helian Yu's hair, "My Zhaoyang is smart and blessed."

Helian Yu moved his little butt, praising it in a way that was creepy.

"How much of this is left?"

Helian Yu answered honestly: "There are a total of one hundred volumes, and I brought them all to my father."

"What reward does Zhaoyang want?"

"I don't want anything." Helian Yu kicked his feet. "I'm hungry."

"Chang Hai, prepare the meal!"

…

Yikun Palace.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty sent two rolls of... toilet paper, saying that they are rare things that Princess Zhaoyang got."

The Imperial Concubine smiled lightly, put down the embroidery in her hand, raised her eyes and looked at the Second Prince Helian Sheng, "Zhaoyang is a wonderful person, you can go and play with her when you have time."

Helian Sheng picked up the exquisite toilet paper, tugged at it, and exclaimed, "It's really a good thing, much softer than white tissue paper. Mother, would you like to try it?"

The imperial concubine's face darkened, "You want to be beaten?"

Helian Sheng smiled and waved as he ran out of the palace, "I will not offend you, mother!"

The Imperial Concubine's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked at Dai Yan, the senior palace maid beside her, "How many places did the Emperor send you to?"

"The Yikun Palace sent you, Concubine Zhen, and Concubine Rong; the Qixiang Palace sent Concubine Zhao, Concubine De, and the newly admitted Concubine Bai; the Zhongcui Palace sent Concubine Xian and Concubine Chen..."

Dai Yan counted them carefully and added, "Except for you who got two volumes, the other ladies all got one volume."

The Imperial Concubine stroked her face, her eyes falling on two rolls of exquisite toilet paper. "When a new person enters the palace, Your Majesty must always consider me a little. Did Zhaoyang go to see Your Majesty today?"

"Yes, I heard from the people in Yangxin Palace that His Majesty personally prepared the meal for Princess Zhaoyang at lunch."

"Go and tell Sheng'er that Zhaoyang is young and has few sisters. He might be lonely in the palace. If he has time, he should spend more time with Zhaoyang."
