Chapter 160: Sky-high Medical Fee



Is there such a thing? Qi Guang quickly asked, "I wonder what Pavilion Master Xiang gave my child?"

"The Pei Yuan Pill is specially used by Tianque Pavilion to nourish the essence of newborn babies. Once this Pei Yuan Pill is used, the child's talent will surely be one in a million, and their future achievements in martial arts will be limitless."

"So, isn't Tianque Pavilion full of talented people?" If that's the case, why would Pavilion Master Xiang need Siqi Baile to find her as his apprentice? Lin Jinghan was very confused.

"Everyone's birth talent is predetermined. This Peiyuan Pill fundamentally changes a child's talent. It's no exaggeration to say it defies fate. How could it be so easy to make?" Ran Chenghong looked at Xiang Yuanqing jokingly.

"Pavilion Master Xiang, I wonder how many Peiyuan Pills you have in Tianque Pavilion right now? How about selling me two?"

He nodded to Yuan Qing and said magnanimously, "Okay, trade your Huiqing Pills with me. One hundred Huiqing Pills for one Peiyuan Pill."

Ran Chenghong almost blew his beard and glared, "One hundred for one, why don't you go and grab it?"

Xiang Yuanqing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Since you know how precious Peiyuan Pills are, you still dare to ask me to buy two. I am willing to exchange with you, which is already giving you face. If you are reluctant to give up your Huiqing Pills, then don't ask."

Both of them knew very well that whether it was Huiqing Dan or Peiyuan Dan, they were regarded as treasures by them because the herbs were hard to find, the preparation was complicated and the success rate was low. They would not give them to others easily, and the matter of exchanging medicines could only be left unresolved.

However, these two people who could shake the world with just a stomp of their feet were arguing over one or two pills. People around them naturally knew how precious the medicine was, especially Lin Jinghan and Qi Guang.

Lin Jinghan swallowed, "Um, Senior Medicine King, may I ask what medicine you gave me earlier?"

"Return to Qingdan." Ran Chenghong said, "You and I are destined to be together. This is my gift to you. Don't take it to heart, girl."

Such an expensive gift, and she ate it without a care, it's really... Lin Jinghan frowned and smiled bitterly:

"Thank you, Senior Medicine King. I wonder what effect this Qingdan will have?"

When talking about his own treasure, Ran Chenghong was very proud and described its effects in detail.

Lin Jinghan's eyes lit up as she listened, and she managed to suppress the urge to ask for the prescription. She secretly regretted not having the medical space analyze the ingredients of the Qingdan in her urgency. She had really lost out!

Lin Jinghan, who had taken the Huiqing Pill, was uneasy. The general, whose son had taken the Peiyuan Pill, was even more perturbed, with beads of sweat already oozing from his forehead. "The Huiqing Pill is so powerful and so precious. If Pavilion Master dared to exchange one Peiyuan Pill for a hundred Huiqing Pills, wouldn't the Peiyuan Pill be worth a hundred times as much?"

Well, this time, he might really go bankrupt!!!

However, the general was a general after all, and he had experienced many storms. He quickly calmed down and bowed deeply to Xiang Yuanqing.

"On behalf of my son, I would like to thank Pavilion Master for giving me a new life."

Xiang Yuanqing waved his hand and said, "This child and I are destined to be together. Since he has taken the Peiyuan Pill from my Tianque Pavilion, he is my disciple. When the child turns six, the general will send him to Tianque Pavilion."

Oh my God, this isn't about his money, this is about his son! For a moment, Qi Guang felt very complicated.

"Congratulations, General. Your son will surely be a great man in the future for joining Tianque Pavilion." Sikong Zhan said coldly, in a tone that didn't sound like congratulations at all.

Lin Jinghan stared at Sikong Zhan with wide eyes: This man must be doing this on purpose! He was clearly telling the truth, but his tone made people think he was being sarcastic, deliberately misleading others! How unethical!

Qi Guang struggled for a moment, thinking that his son had saved his life, and he shouldn't ask for too much, so he said:

"It is my good fortune that I can enter the Heavenly Palace."

"In that case, Jinghan, two seniors, let's go back." Sikong Zhan picked up the golden box on the table and handed it to his guard. Finally, he glanced at Qi Guang.

"This prince's wife is on duty, and we have two highly respected seniors helping us. This consultation fee is far from enough. It must be at least ten times as much. General, please send the consultation fee to the Jingnan Palace within three days.

By the way, if you can't come up with that much money right now, you can ask the Emperor for an advance on your salary. As long as you explain the reason, I believe the Emperor will agree to your request."

After saying that, he picked up Lin Jinghan and strode away.

Xiang Yuanqing and Ran Chenghong looked at each other and left.

Qi Guang stared at their departing backs, thought carefully for a long time, and his eyes suddenly lit up!

He understood that by asking him for such a high fee and asking him to report the matter to the Emperor, Prince Jingnan was distancing himself from him! This was to let the Emperor know that he had no choice but to ask Princess Jingnan to save someone, and that he had been blackmailed for a large sum of money afterwards. This way, the Emperor would not think that he and Prince Jingnan were on the same side.

This realization made him emotionally agitated, unable to calm down for a long time. Regardless of the purpose behind Prince Jingnan's move, it ultimately gave him a way out. He no longer had to rely solely on being tied to Prince Jingnan.

It can be said that today's incident is a win-win for both parties!

He did not delay at all. Regardless of the fact that it was already dark, he immediately changed into court clothes and went to the palace to meet the emperor: crying poor!

The emperor sat in the imperial study, his face gloomy as he listened to the report from the people below about the birth of Prince Jingnan and his wife at the general's house.

If his generals turned to the King of Jingnan, it would ripple through the entire army, and who knows how many generals would follow suit. Who knows how many soldiers would be able to obey his orders as the emperor? If the King of Jingnan rebelled, how could he fight against him?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He had already begun to harbor murderous intent. When he heard the eunuch report that the general wanted to see him, he suppressed his murderous intent and said, "Call!"

The general entered the imperial study with the conditions and immediately knelt down when he saw the emperor. "I have a hard time expressing my grievances. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision."

"I heard that the general has a son. How can there be any suffering when it is such a joyful thing?" The emperor looked down at Qi Guang with a faint smile on his face and a cold look in his eyes.

Qi Guang looked embarrassed, without any joy at having a son.

"My wife was in labor for two days and two nights. The Emperor, out of pity, sent two of the most skilled midwives. However, my wife's condition was critical, and even the palace doctors were helpless. With nowhere else to turn, I listened to my servants' advice and sent to Huichun Hall to fetch a doctor to save her life.

But who knew that the servants were ignorant and actually invited the King of Jingnan and the Princess over. I didn't want to get involved with the King of Jingnan, but seeing that my wife was in imminent danger and the Princess of Jingnan swore that she could save her life, I had no choice but to ask the Princess of Jingnan to help for the sake of my wife and child.
