Chapter 340 Unlucky White Moonlight 16
"Yes, although they did it very covertly, the manager of Guangren Pharmacy and I are close friends. Seeing that I was also looking for these things, he said something."
Prince Jin tapped the tabletop with his fingers, again and again, his tone filled with pride, "It seems we really have hit the jackpot!"
If the engagement had not been broken off, he probably would not have known until now that a man as righteous as General Luo would do such an opportunistic thing.
After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Raise the price if necessary. We must get the herbs before the General's Mansion."
The butler received the order and prepared to leave when the voice of King Jin rang out from behind him again, "Buy out all the Hell Flowers."
The Hell Flower has a harsh growing environment and is extremely difficult to pick. Its stock is very scarce. As long as they can buy it out, the people in the General's Mansion can only watch the prescription mold and rot.
"yes!"
Prince Jin leaned back in his chair with a smug smile on his face. When all his plans were accomplished, he would be the first immortal emperor in history.
Every step must be done correctly. Someone called Mei Niang over and asked her as soon as they met, "How was the imitation?"
Mei Niang had a strange expression on her face. Seeing that Prince Jin was in a good mood, she finally expressed her doubts, "Your Highness, I feel like Miss Luo has tricked me again."
The King of Jin had just been happy for a short time, so naturally he didn't want to hear such nonsense.
Besides, if I really was fooled, could the elixir of immortality be fake?
King Jin felt that this possibility was very small.
"Don't you want to do this anymore?"
Mei Niang was most afraid of Prince Jin frowning. No matter how affectionate they were one second, he would always turn against her and be ruthless the next.
"No, I just think it's a little weird! Although Miss Luo has been in the villa for a few years, she has received an orthodox education. How could she be so vulgar? Not only does she like to eat strange-tasting food, but she also likes to wear men's clothes, pick her feet, and curse. This..."
Mei Niang didn't know what to say. If she didn't need to imitate the other person, of course, no matter how bad Luo An was, it would be good, and no matter how disgusting he was, it would be comfortable.
But the current situation is that if she wants to replace him, she has to become Luo An. Her weapon has never been her family background, but the reputation she has worked hard to build for a long time.
Although she was the daughter of a concubine, everyone who saw her in the past would say that she was born in the wrong family.
She is now afraid that if she imitates too much, she will be affected.
Ugh! No matter how I think about it, I feel sick.
The two of them have been together for so many years, how could Prince Jin not understand her? It can be said that he can guess what Mei Niang is thinking just by looking at her.
"I hope you can understand what is most important. If something important is delayed because of you, you know my methods."
Prince Jin stared at Mei Niang with his emotionless eyes, which made Mei Niang feel cold on her back.
Of course, she knew how cruel the other party's methods could be. In the years they had been together, she had seen people die tragically more than once because of their incompetence.
At that time she was only gloating, but now her hands and feet are cold.
"I will definitely imitate General Luo and his wife so well that they won't be able to find any fault with me. Please, Your Highness, give me another chance."
Mei Niang knelt on the ground for the time it took to stick up an incense stick, until her body went limp and a sharp pain came from her knees. She was on the verge of collapse. Then the King of Jin slowly spoke, "Get up! You are a wise man. You can choose between a dismembered body and wealth and glory."
Mei Niang was just about to stand up, but the words "die without a complete body" frightened her so much that she knelt back down.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
"stand up!"
Mei Niang stood up with tears on her face. Her frail appearance made King Jin want to bully her at the first sight.
He has always been a person who does whatever he wants. Without saying a word, he hugged the person and the study became a battlefield again.
Luo An is much more exciting than them. She is setting up a plan for King Jin!
Wasn't Prince Jin planning to drive up prices and buy up all the Hell Flowers? Then she could just become a medicine dealer. She had plenty of that stuff in her Qiankun bag anyway. It was all garbage she'd picked up when she first started practicing, thrown away in a corner and never touched. She hadn't expected it could be exchanged for money, so of course she wouldn't hesitate.
The people from Prince Jin's Mansion ran around all the pharmacies in the capital, and bought up all the Hell Flowers at double the price before the servants from the General's Mansion could get to them.
Looking at each other's gloomy faces, they were extremely happy. They raised their heads and pushed away the steward of the general's mansion, then walked out in a swagger, ready to go back and report.
At this moment, the steward of the General's Mansion spoke, "What? Someone wants to sell Hell..."
The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for the people in Prince Jin's Mansion to hear. They all stopped at the same time and were about to ask a few questions when they saw the steward of the General's Mansion push them away in a panic and leave at a faster speed.
The attempt to cover up something is making it even more obvious, and no one would believe that there is no trick.
“Follow me!”
Several people chased after the people from the general's mansion relentlessly until they entered a remote courtyard. The manager of the general's mansion said something to the gatekeeper, and the people went in.
During this time, he looked around secretly, as if he was afraid of being followed.
After everyone went in, several people from Prince Jin's Mansion stepped forward immediately.
“Who is it?”
The steward of Prince Jin's Mansion guessed that the thing that made the steward of the General's Mansion so nervous must be related to the Flower of Hell.
Otherwise why would they be so cautious.
"We are from the Prince Jin's Mansion and we are here to buy the Hell Flower."
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the gatekeeper made way.
"What a thief! I almost got tricked by them!"
In order to complete the task, they almost ran, and only just arrived before the steward of the general's mansion paid the money.
"Wait! Our General's Mansion wants the Hell Flower!"
Hearing this voice, Manager Zhang turned around suddenly and found that the person coming was his mortal enemy again. He couldn't help but frowned, "It's you again!"
Seeing him angry, Wang, the steward of the Prince of Jin's mansion, smiled with particular pride, "Old Zhang! We meet again!"
Old Zhang didn't want to talk to him at all. He just wanted to take the things quickly. Then he moved his feet to block Manager Wang tightly, "Here is two hundred taels of silver, give me the things!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by someone, "Lao Zhang! Why are you in such a hurry? This business needs to be negotiated~"
Manager Wang retorted with a smug look, then turned to look at the seller. He saw that the man had white hair and was wearing a white robe, which gave him an air of immortality.
"We'll give you three hundred taels."
The man looked at Manager Wang, then at Manager Zhang, and said shamelessly, "I'm sorry, he paid more."
Manager Wang was so happy. It turned out that money was king. Just as he was about to hand over the money and the goods, Manager Zhang spoke.
"Four hundred taels."
Steward Wang's expression turned grim. "Are you sure you want to go against the Prince Jin's Mansion?"
Manager Zhang was not one to shy away from trouble, and he immediately replied, "It was you who had to cause trouble for my General's Mansion, wasn't it?"
"Okay! I'll remember you! Four hundred and fifty taels!"
"Five hundred taels!"
