As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Yuanshan, who was eavesdropping outside the door, couldn't help but rush in, pointing at Hua Yuanzhao's nose and yelling: "Why!"

Not to mention Hua Yuanshan, even Prime Minister Hua didn't bother to blame his daughter for trespassing into the study. He just looked at Hua Yuanzhao in astonishment.

Five thousand taels? Did this evil creature think his money was blown by the wind?

Why should he give her money?

Hua Yuanzhao said slowly, "I went to collect herbs in compliance with the order of the Empress, but unfortunately my monthly salary has been withheld by the Su family for a long time, and I am already short of money, so I have to trouble my father to pay for this."

She had not originally intended to ask for a high price, but unfortunately Prime Minister Hua's attitude just now made her feel aggrieved, so she had no choice but to add an extra three thousand taels to the original plan as compensation for mental damage.

Prime Minister Hua avoided the main point and asked with a sullen face, "What kind of medicine do you have to go and collect in person?"

Hua Yuanzhao held out his hand, but did not answer him. He only said, "This medicine is extremely important. If my father does not give it to me, I will have no choice but to stay in the capital and leave after I earn enough money for the journey."

Hua Yuanshan stared at Hua Yuanzhao in astonishment, but she couldn't help feeling ecstatic.

If the emperor died, wouldn't the Third Prince be able to become the emperor? Even if she couldn't become the queen for a while, she would still be a concubine!

She suppressed her joy and pointed at Hua Yuanzhao and scolded him, "You picked the herbs in compliance with the order of the Empress! Disobeying the order is a capital crime!"

Hua Yuanzhao looked at Prime Minister Hua nonchalantly: "I don't have the money for the trip anyway, so I can't go back to collect herbs smoothly. I will also be executed for failing to treat the patient. Since we're all going to die, what crime does it matter? But this disobedience to the emperor's order... seems to mean that everyone will be implicated?"

Although she is not taken seriously, she seems to be the daughter of the Hua family listed in the family tree?

Prime Minister Hua's face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. He looked at Hua Yuanzhao carefully, trying to find signs of guilt on her face.

But Hua Yuanzhao's eyes were too gloomy, and his expressionless face made it even more difficult to understand.

Under Hua Yuanzhao's gaze, Prime Minister Hua gradually calmed down and quickly analyzed the current situation in his mind.

If the emperor passed away now, given the third prince's power, it would be difficult for him to ascend the throne smoothly.

What's more, this evil creature is his daughter. If the emperor really dies because of her delayed treatment, someone will definitely use this incident to attack him!

Some people even say that this evil creature deliberately plotted to murder the emperor under the instructions of him or the Third Prince!

Hua Yuanzhao looked at Prime Minister Hua calmly. She had planned to ask for money on her way back home today.

Asking for money was secondary. The most important thing was that she had to make sure that Gu Changsu and her stepfather would not send anyone to assassinate her along the way.

Of course, it would be better if these two could figure it out and help stop the assassins sent by other forces.

Prime Minister Hua paused for a long time before he sighed and said, "I was wrong just now. The travel expenses cannot be reduced."

As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed it to Hua Yuanzhao, and did not forget to instruct him: "You must come back as soon as possible, understand?"

Hua Yuanzhao was blinded by the money and responded with a smile.

Hua Yuanshan, who was standing next to her, was so angry that she went straight to Hua Yuanzhao's courtyard as soon as she stepped out of the door.

Didn't that bitch want money? Great! She would be kind and help that bitch sell the things in her yard for money!

Not a single thing left!

She strode into Linyuan Courtyard, only to find that the neatly arranged herbs in the courtyard had long been pulled out, and there were a lot of big brass locks on the door.

"That bitch has learned her lesson!" Hua Yuanshan sneered at Dasuo. Hua Yuanzhao was still too naive. He actually thought that he could stop her with this kind of thing!

"Someone! Bring me an axe!"
