"Master Imperial Master." Qin Wu and Yang Zhanying both paid their respects to him.
"Hmm." The national teacher responded indifferently. Under the mask, the pair of dark eyes like the abyss carried a captivating pressure.
"It's cold outside, warm yourself up with a cup of hot tea, then we can talk about what's next."
The Imperial Master glanced at Yang.
Yang reacted immediately and asked someone to serve hot tea.
"I need to discuss disaster relief with Qin Wu alone." said the Imperial Master.
"Okay, the Imperial Master has something to tell us." Yang immediately said to Qin Wu, "Don't be afraid, we are here for you."
It was because she couldn't see through the intentions of the Imperial Master that Yang was nervous and worried about Qin Wu.
Qin Wu smiled at her, "The Imperial Master is a great man with a broad mind. He will definitely not embarrass a little girl like me. Don't worry, stepmother, nothing will happen."
The maid brought tea, and then Yang led her people to leave.
...
...
Only Qin Wu and the Imperial Master were left in the front hall with the windproof curtain drawn.
The two of them didn't speak, and the front hall seemed particularly quiet.
With a cunning and calculating look in her eyes, Qin Wu stood up and walked forward to pour tea for the Imperial Master.
"It's Qin Wu's fault for keeping the Imperial Master waiting here for so long." Qin Wu got straight to the point. "I don't know what important matter the Imperial Master wants to talk to me about. Why did he come to see me in person and wait for me for so long?"
She exuded a light and cool plum fragrance. She picked up the tea and handed it directly to him, "This cup of tea is for the national teacher to apologize."
She bent her knees slightly, with a seductive and respectful look on her pretty face, which made it impossible for people to think that she had any ulterior motives.
"It is not appropriate to stay in the palace today, so just sit here for a while." The national teacher didn't care and took the tea from her hand.
Qin Wu took advantage of this to twist her foot, stagger and lose her balance, and fell towards the Imperial Master.
But before she could make any move, the Imperial Master, wearing Buddhist beads, held her arm firmly with his bony hands.
He took the water from her cup without spilling any of it.
"Are you okay?" The Imperial Master's deep gaze emerged from the mask, making Qin Wu extremely nervous.
This national teacher is not only mysterious, but also extremely powerful.
Trying to remain calm, Qin Wu's eyes were fixed on his. "I'm sorry, Imperial Master. I've been walking for a long time and my legs are a little weak. I'm sorry for being so rude in front of you."
She stood up hurriedly, with a seductive look in her eyes as she left.
Seeing through Qin Wu's intention, the Imperial Master took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "If you want to seduce me, you have to divorce me first. This Imperial Master does not want to be a mistress."
The pupils shrank suddenly. "Cough cough cough," Qin Wu was choked by his words.
Indeed, she had been deliberately seducing him just now, but she just wanted to test his bottom line and see if she could kill him by getting close to him!
However, it doesn't seem to work.
Assassination is no longer possible.
But if he drank the tea she brought him, then the poisoning and assassination might be possible.
"Master, you are joking. How dare I?"
"Even if you don't dare, you can still think about it." His words were light and seemed like a joke, but they were also serious.
It's hard to figure out.
Of course Qin Wu couldn't think that he was serious, but she didn't know how to respond for a moment.
The slender fingers lifted the kettle and added hot tea to the cup. The national teacher pushed the tea in front of her and said, "Warm your body, your hands are too cold."
Qin Wu, "..."
This kindness made her feel even more anxious.
"I'm not thirsty, nor am I cold."
"Are you afraid that I'll poison you?"
Qin Wu's pupils shrank slightly. She didn't know whether these words were a reminder to her or had some other meaning.
He seemed to be able to see through everything about her, and in his eyes, her thoughts were just that of a ridiculous clown.
With a simple and innocent smile on her face, Qin Wu hid her intention to kill him very well. She said, "Master, you are joking."
Qin Wu picked up the water in the teacup and drank it in one gulp.
The tea was a little hot, but when it went down her throat, she still felt her tense body go cold.
"See if you can prepare these." The Imperial Master ignored her little thoughts and handed her a piece of paper with the things he wanted listed on it.
Food, quilts, clothes, and medicinal materials.
The prefect's granary is not enough, and the emperor is going to allocate half of it to distribute military rations. The people in the cities near Da Zhou who were affected by the snow disaster can only save themselves, or they will freeze to death or starve to death.
Qin Wu had enough medicinal herbs, but the Chamber of Commerce did not have enough quilts and clothes. Besides, she had to support the Third Prince, so she had to send most of the supplies to Northern Liao for support.
"I can gather enough food for 30,000 people for ten days. I don't have that many quilts and clothes, but I have no problem with the medicine..." Qin Wu looked at the national teacher, "Eating up all the food. Even if I have a month's worth of food, I may not be able to save these people who have been affected by the disaster."
The Imperial Master did not respond to her question, "Can you make frostbite medicine?"
"Sure." She is a doctor, and it is not difficult for her to make frostbite medicine, and the effect is very good.
"Five hundred thousand taels, you can prepare so many things..."
The words of the national teacher immediately shocked Qin Wu.
He was testing her. Did he know about the Chamber of Commerce she founded?
Is he planning to take over her chamber of commerce? And then give it to Qin Yinnuan?
But she quickly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart. She did not admit it and just said that she knew Gong Shang. What could he do to her?
She is the president of Xuanying, and she appears in men's clothing. Except for a few loyal people who work with her in the Chamber of Commerce, no one knows who she is.
She answered without leaving any trace, "The Imperial Master gave me 500,000 silver coins and told me in advance that I should go to provide disaster relief. I had to mediate well and prepare all the things needed for the Imperial Master. Even if there is not that much, I have to find a way to raise it..."
"I won't let you suffer any loss."
Without waiting for Qin Wu to finish her words, the Imperial Master took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and placed them on the table, "Take it."
He immediately stood up, with an immortal demeanor and spotless demeanor, "Prepare what you can, and I'll find a way to deal with the things you don't need."
"We will go to distribute porridge tomorrow. I will ask people to move the food to wherever it is. You just need to ask people to prepare it."
Looking at the stack of banknotes, Qin Wu's eyes were filled with surprise.
He waited so long, was he trying to give her money? Was he afraid that she wouldn't have enough to pay for the disaster relief supplies he wanted?
And he didn't ask her any further questions. Where did she get all these things from?
After all, in everyone's eyes, she is no longer the daughter of the Qin family, but a woman who is about to be divorced by the Qi family. How could she prepare so many things?
But how could he be sure that she could do it?
This made her feel even colder. In his eyes, she seemed to have no secrets at all and was transparent. Maybe he already knew everything about her?
Then he is too scary!
He wanted to crush her to death, and just one sentence could crush her to death like an ant!
She doesn't want to go through the experience of her previous life again! No matter what the cost, she would never let him say out loud the disaster he put on her!
Without caring about what Qin Wu was thinking, the Imperial Master thought of something when he was about to leave. He turned his head and said to Qin Wu, "If you have trouble getting a divorce from Prince Qi, I can help you."
Qin Wu sneered in her heart when she heard his words.
The national teacher who was revered as a god in front of him was also extremely hypocritical.
Yesterday he said that she was a disaster, so why is he so kind now and is willing to help her and Qi Xiuzhe get divorced?
