Chapter 212: Charity Hall? Profit?
No time limit, no responsibility. This is a sure thing that the emperor would never use it unless it was absolutely necessary!
Chu Ci: So you really are worthy of being a prince who grew up in the palace?
"High, really high." Then, Chu Ci gave the two of them a thumbs up.
The eldest prince and the fifth prince both coughed at the same time, trying to hide their current embarrassment.
Then, the eldest prince said, "This king will definitely deliver the various medicinal materials needed to refine the Qi-boosting Gu as soon as possible."
"And this king." The fifth prince added hurriedly, not wanting to be outdone.
After hearing this, Chu Ci immediately said, "Deal, but the cost of Linglong and Divine Doctor Hua helping with the refining will need to be calculated separately. Is that okay?"
After all, they were willing to take out so many rare medicinal herbs. Of course, a dignified prince would not easily offend a miracle doctor and an unpredictable Gu King just for a few thousand taels of silver.
So, for the first time ever, Doctor Hua and Linglong had already received the money for refining the medicine before they even started refining it.
This made the two of them feel very happy.
It’s a pity that the good mood of the two did not last long.
Soon they were overwhelmed by the continuous influx of wounded soldiers.
Linglong: She is the Gu King, not an iron man!
Finally, Linglong, who had been working non-stop for two days, couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Boss, there are quite a few students studying medicine at that 'Women's College'. How about recruiting a few to help out?"
Chu Ci looked at the people lying on the ground in front of him, all tied up, frowned slightly, and then said, "Guess why they were sent here tied up?"
Linglong held her breath and said with some annoyance, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."
This situation lasted for seven days. On the last day, those who were tied up and sent in were no longer young and middle-aged people, but elderly people with missing limbs, women, and even children.
Seeing these people being sent over, Qianxue, who had been helping out, couldn't help but look puzzled and asked, "What are these remnants of the previous dynasty doing? Are they running a charity? Why are there all kinds of people here?"
After hearing Qianxue's words, Chu Ci sneered and said slowly, "Opening a charity? Humph, I don't think they are running a charity at all. They are clearly using these people as tools to make profits."
Even though Qianxue had suffered many hardships, she still maintained her innocence in her heart and did not view human nature as too bad.
Chu Ci looked at Qianxue like this, paused for a moment, and then slowly said: "After some time, when you have some free time, go take a good walk on the street, and then you will understand the reason."
"They actually took advantage of these innocent people..." Qianxue instantly understood what Chu Ci meant.
I immediately realized something even more terrifying. "Do they have families of their own? Did they lead normal lives before being exploited?"
Chu Ci didn't actually want Qianxue to feel too bad about these things, but since Qianxue had already guessed it, Chu Ci simply nodded and admitted it directly: "Yes, there is such a possibility."
"The remnants of the previous dynasty deserve to die." These words actually came from Qian Xi, who usually did not easily reveal her emotions. It can be seen that her hatred for the remnants of the previous dynasty has reached an extreme at this moment.
"So, big sister, you see, these remnants have been caught in one fell swoop by Zi Yi and his men, right? Don't be too angry." Chu Ci looked at Qian Xue, whose emotions were still a little fluctuating, and comforted her softly.
Not far from Chu Ci, Linglong was examining a dirty and messy-haired child.
When the little boy heard Chu Ci and the others' discussion, he could no longer conceal his eyes filled with resentment, endless hatred and unwillingness, although it only flashed by.
But at this critical moment, almost all the functions of "Xing'er" were turned on, so Chu Ci noticed the abnormality of the little boy at the first time.
Chu Ci immediately understood the real reason why the Purple-Robed Envoy sent these people here for treatment.
Afterwards, Chu Ci didn't hesitate at all. He feigned weariness as he looked up at the sky. Then, speaking slightly faster and in a calm tone, he said, "Sister, Qianxue, Qianyan, it's almost noon. You should go have lunch first! When you return, just bring me some."
Fan Qianxi and her two sisters were familiar with Chu Ci, and they immediately sensed something was wrong when they saw her reaction.
Although they were worried about Chu Ci's safety, they appeared calm on the surface.
As the eldest sister, Fan Qianxi even helped Chu Ci persuade the elderly Doctor Hua to leave the scene: "Doctor Hua, you've been busy for a long time. You must be tired. Come with us to have lunch."
Doctor Hua turned his head to look at Chu Ci, only to see Chu Ci nodded extremely subtly, almost imperceptibly.
Upon seeing this, Doctor Hua immediately stood up and said with a smile, "That's just right. I'm really hungry too, old man. You youngsters, just keep busy here!"
As soon as these words came out, Linglong beside her was not happy. She pouted and yelled, "Humph, why should you do more work just because you are young? No, I am hungry too. I want to eat too."
Doctor Hua couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this. He said with a hearty laugh, "Let's all go, let's all go together."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Chu Ci with a smile, saying, "Boss, this arrangement should be okay, right?"
Chu Ci did not answer immediately, but nodded slightly, imperceptibly.
After seeing Chu Ci's action, Doctor Hua and the others walked out quickly with brisk steps as if they had received clear orders.
So, the little boy who had been treated with care and concern by everyone before was instantly abandoned by everyone due to this sudden change.
Left behind
This made the little boy, who already hated Chu Ci and the others, even more resentful. "If not... one day, he would definitely make them suffer the same pain."
The little boy who was secretly planning how to take revenge on Chu Ci and the others had no idea that Qianxue and the others had secretly sent a message to the Purple-Robed Envoy immediately after they left the courtyard.
In just a few breaths, another purple-robed envoy quickly led a group of elite soldiers and surrounded the courtyard where Chu Ci was in three layers.
And the little boy who was full of resentment was naturally easily pulled out in this sudden incident.
