Facts have proved that Xuan Tianming's idea is not worthwhile for Ru Jia. It would cost five million taels of gold to treat her injuries. (om Junzi Juyitang.com)
Ru Jia didn't know that Xuan Tianming had cheated Kang Yi out of five million taels of gold. She thought that although five million taels was too much, if she could use the gold to save her life, her uncle would definitely agree. So she nodded quickly - "I agree."
Xuan Tianming smiled and said, "It's probably useless if you agree. Your mother still needs to agree on this matter."
Ru Jia said urgently: "You can send someone to Feng Mansion to inform mother immediately. Mother will definitely agree!"
Xuan Tianming nodded and was about to say yes, but Feng Yuheng said again: "Wait!"
Ru Jia glared at her: "What do you want to do now?"
Feng Yuheng said: "Five million taels of gold are not enough. I also want ten Tianshan snow lotuses that are unique to your Qianzhou. I want them to be transported to Dashun together with the thousand-year-old frozen snow where they grow."
"What?" Ru Jia was shocked. "You want Tianshan Snow Lotus? And thousand-year-old frozen snow?" She stared at Feng Yuheng blankly, as if she was looking at a madman. Not long after, she heard Ru Jia suddenly burst into laughter, and said while laughing: "Feng Yuheng, are you crazy? Tianshan Snow Lotus grows in thousand-year-old frozen snow. Even if the frozen snow leaves Qian Zhou, it can remain unmelted for nearly a month. But when it is transported to Dashun Kyoto, it is on the verge of melting. Why do you want those ten half-dead things?"
Feng Yuheng fiddled with her nails: "Just keep it for fun."
"You can't even support yourself!"
"Whether I can support her is my business, whether I give her or not is your business." Feng Yuheng looked at Ru Jia with a wicked smile on his lips.
Ru Jia gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, then please send someone to Feng Mansion and tell my mother about these things!"
Xuan Tianming immediately instructed the female official beside him: "You go there in person and tell Princess Kangyi what we have just decided. Remember, if the princess agrees, take her to the government office immediately and write an IOU for the five million taels of gold she owed yesterday, and have the Jingzhao Yin file it."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'll do it right away." The female official responded and turned away.
Ru Jia was confused, "What do you mean yesterday's five million taels? Wait a minute!" She wanted to ask the female official to stop, but she didn't listen to her and walked away in a few steps. Ru Jia looked at Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng, and suddenly felt cheated - "How much silver did you cheat my mother out of?"
Xuan Tianming corrected her: "How can you call it a trap! Yesterday's five million taels were used to vent my wife's anger, and today's five million taels are for your medical treatment. Also, I must remind you again, this is not silver, but gold."
Ru Jia almost vomited blood. Ten million taels? They cheated Qian Zhou out of ten million taels of gold in just two days? "You did it on purpose!" She yelled, causing the wound on her body to hurt again.
Feng Yuheng looked at her and nodded, "I did it on purpose, what can you do to me?"
Ru Jia gnashed her teeth and said, "Don't be too complacent. There's a saying in Dashun, 'Everything changes. Sooner or later, you'll fall into my hands. When that happens, watch out or I'll avenge you for all the grudges you've paid me today!"
Feng Yuheng made a horrified expression, but his eyes were full of smiles, "I will soon become your attending physician. How can I dare to heal your injury when you threaten me like this?"
Ru Jia was stunned, and realized that she had said the wrong thing. She closed her eyes and thought, out of sight, out of mind.
On the other side, when the female official arrived at Feng Mansion, Kang Yi was in the study of Tianxiangyuan thinking about writing a letter to King Qianzhou. She should have written this letter yesterday, but the Cheng sisters came yesterday, someone poisoned Han's soup, and she left the mansion at night, so she was so busy that she didn't care about this matter at all.
The female official was invited to the Peony Courtyard. When Kang Yi arrived, Old Lady Feng and Chen Yu were already sitting there with him. Seeing Kang Yi coming, the female official hurried forward to pay her respects. Kang Yi also returned the greetings and said, "I wonder if you have something to say to me?"
The female official said, "I dare not take the title of Your Excellency so lightly. I am a servant. The princess is too kind to me. I am here today on the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince and at the request of Princess Rujia to report something to the princess."
When Kang Yi heard that the other party was entrusted by Jia, his mood finally changed a little, and he asked hurriedly: "What happened to Ru Jia?"
The female official spoke fluently and concisely, recounting what had just happened. At the end, she emphasized: "Princess Rujia's injuries are too severe. The whip was so strong that it damaged her heart. I have to say something unpleasant. If you don't rescue her quickly, I'm afraid she will only live for three to five days at most!"
Kang Yi's heart tightened, and the old lady and Chen Yu were also a little confused. Chen Yu asked doubtfully: "Can a whip hit someone so hard?"
The female official nodded, "Perhaps Princess Ji'an was too angry at the time, and she used her internal energy when she whipped. Everyone knows that Princess Ji'an has martial arts skills. Princess Rujia survived these whips, which was already a favor from the princess. If it was Prince Yu who whipped her personally, the princess's gold could really be saved."
Kang Yi's anger was rising, but she suppressed it again and again. She asked the lady official, "Can I go to the palace to see Jia'er?"
The female official responded very happily: "Of course, this is possible. If the princess wants to visit the palace, she can go back with me now. The county lady and the prince are here, and you can ask His Royal Highness in person. The queen should be back by now. The emperor was furious yesterday. He heard that someone scolded his favorite son. He was so angry that he wanted to drag the person out and chop him up. It was the queen's intercession that saved the little princess' life. If the princess wants to go to the palace, she must thank the queen in person."
Kang Yi shuddered when he heard this and quickly shook his head, "No need for that. I've thought about it. Since Ru Jia is in the palace, she must be getting the best care. The emperor loves her so much that he even gave her two pieces of Guanghan silk. Why should I be worried?"
The female official smiled and replied, "Don't worry, Princess Rujia, we only use good medicinal materials, and the Imperial Hospital is very attentive."
Kang Yi knew that there must be something wrong here, but she couldn't ask too many questions now. Ru Jia was controlled in the palace, which was equivalent to holding her by her three inches. She was now like meat on the chopping board, and they could chop her as much as they wanted.
Kang Yi sighed, then turned to the old lady and said, "Mother, I will go to the government office right away."
The old lady nodded and said nothing.
After Kang Yi left, the old lady sent Chen Yu back as well. After both of them left, she lamented, "What on earth is the Ninth Prince going to do?"
Aunt Zhao beside her thought for a moment and said, "It looks like... they are trying to cheat you out of money?"
The old lady was startled, and the first thought that popped into her mind was: "Does Qian Zhou have any money? Could she use Kang Yi's dowry to pay it off? She still owes me money!"
Zhao Mama thought that your little silver was not even enough to cover the five million taels of gold, so why are you so nervous? But she didn't dare to say it, and just persuaded the old lady, "No, Qianzhou is also a country. Ten million taels of gold sounds like a lot, but it's not enough for Qianzhou to use the lady's dowry to pay it off."
"That makes sense." The old lady pondered, "It's good that it's not worth it. Her dowry will all be confiscated into the public treasury. Hey?" She remembered something else: "Didn't the Cheng sisters also say that there would be dowries sent out from the palace? Have they come?"
Zhao Ma Ma replied, "Not yet. Don't worry, old lady. Haven't you heard that the Second Miss and the Ninth Prince are both in the Imperial Palace? I'm sure they will be brought back together when the Second Miss returns."
The old lady nodded, "Well, we should be there in a while."
Kang Yi did things without dragging his feet. When he arrived at Jingzhao Yin's place, he signed the document and handed it to the female official. When the female official returned to the palace with the document, the queen had already returned from the front hall and was chatting with Feng Yuheng - "You should also pay more attention to Junman and Junmei. The two girls were born out of wedlock in the Cheng Mansion, and their mother was an ordinary maid, so they didn't have any status. Although the Cheng family is not as high as the Feng Xiang and the Prime Minister, it is still a famous family, and there have always been many fights in the mansion. The sisters have been bullied since they were young, and even after entering the palace, they were still very timid in the first two years. They didn't even dare to see the emperor."
Feng Yuheng thought about the Cheng sisters he met yesterday. They didn't seem timid. They must have been raised in the palace for so many years, and even the smallest courage would be trained. In addition, the emperor and the queen seemed to be training them intentionally. The Cheng sisters had only been married for half a day, but they already knew how to find out and pass on information. They got into the role faster than usual.
She smiled at the Queen and said, "Since they are married to my father, they are Ah Heng's elders. We will need the two concubines to give us more advice in the future."
As the two were talking, the female official came forward and bowed to the queen. She then bowed and said to Xuan Tianming, "What the prince ordered has been done. This is the IOU that has been filed in the government office."
Xuan Tianming took it and took a look at it, then put it in Feng Yuheng's hand, "Take it, and return it to her when the real gold is brought into the mansion."
The Queen had heard that these two had colluded and cheated Qian Zhou out of a large sum of money, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Recently, all palaces and courtyards have been cutting back on spending. If I can also make some unexpected money, the Emperor will be very happy." After thinking for a while, she said to the female official: "Princess Rujia is recovering in the palace and has used a lot of rare medicinal herbs. You go and give her a discount. She also specially hired a master to learn etiquette and the principles of being a human being in the palace. You tell Princess Kangyi again that these will also be charged."
After the female official agreed, she went back to Feng Mansion. When she came back, she had another document in her hand.
The queen took it with satisfaction, stood up and said to Xuan Tianming: "You guys are busy, I have to go to the emperor to ask for credit."
Seeing the queen leave with a smile, Xuan Tianming snorted, "She made a fortune."
Feng Yuheng said: "The Queen is so cooperative, it's only right for her to make some money. Let's go, it's getting late, we should leave the palace."
When she heard that they were leaving the palace, the female official immediately asked, "Will the county lady come to see Princess Rujia tomorrow?"
Feng Yuheng nodded, "Yes, you guys clean it up for her. I don't want to smell the strange smell in that room anymore."
The female official replied: "Please rest assured, County Lady."
The two of them then left the Central Palace. As soon as they came out, Feng Yuheng said, "I have to go back to the mansion to give Aunt Han a pregnancy-preserving injection. You don't have to follow me. Go to Yuehan Palace and sit for a while. I haven't been able to see my mother since I came in. Please tell her for me that I will go to pay my respects to her tomorrow."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "Okay, then you can take my carriage back, and be careful on the road."
The two men left the palace and went their separate ways.
As Feng Yuheng was walking towards the palace gate, she saw a group of palace maids carrying trays passing by. One of them looked very familiar. She squinted her eyes and looked back, and she couldn't help but make a plan in her heart -
... The daughter of a genius doctor
