Chapter 84: Losing money can ward off disaster
Dijiang also hopes that he can help Jiujiu do something within his ability.
Don't always ask Jiujiu to help him!
But he did nothing for Jiujiu.
As human beings, we should learn to be grateful and repay kindness.
"Nothing." Jiujiu said, "Brother Dijiang, I came back to ask you, did the Imperial Hospital send you medicine?"
"What medicine?" Di Jiang was puzzled.
Jiujiu said: "There is a plague in the capital. Those who are infected should drink medicine to eliminate the plague. Those who are not infected should drink medicine to prevent it."
"The Imperial Hospital has been brewing medicine."
"Everyone needs to take medicine."
"Has Brother Dijiang drunk yet?"
[The book says that Brother Dijiang accidentally contracted the plague, suffered a lot, and almost died. After he came back to life, he used some means to kill several doctors in the Imperial Hospital without anyone noticing.]
[Because after he was infected with the plague, those imperial doctors took advantage of the situation and demanded 10,000 taels of silver from him, otherwise they would have burned him to death to isolate the plague.]
[Brother Dijiang had no money, but he survived after enduring a lot of hardships.]
[Since Jiujiu knows this, she must prevent Brother Dijiang from being infected by the plague.]
[We also want to prevent the death of the imperial doctors, because the plague is raging right now and they need people right now, so the imperial doctors can’t die easily.]
"No." Di Jiang shook his head.
Jiujiu said, "Mammy, go to the Imperial Hospital and get some medicine for Brother Dijiang. We can leave after Brother Dijiang drinks the medicine."
"good."
Nanny Gui went to the Imperial Hospital in person to get the medicine, gave it to Dijiang to drink, and also gave Dijiang some instructions before going back.
On the way back, Jiujiu met three imperial doctors, who happened to be the ones in the book who were killed by Emperor Jiang Shen without anyone noticing.
Now she has given Dijiang the plague-preventing medicine prepared by Qingzi, and Dijiang will definitely not be infected with the plague again.
And these imperial doctors who took advantage of the situation will not die and can continue to work well.
But Jiujiu felt a little uncomfortable.
They are so bad in the book.
Dijiang was a hostage, helpless in a foreign country, and his life was already miserable. Yet they took advantage of his misery and demanded so much money from him. They threatened to let Dijiang die if he didn't pay.
Jiujiu wanted to help Dijiang vent his anger.
[It shouldn't be too much to cheat them out of some of their money! ]
【Well, not too much. 】
【As the saying goes, losing money can ward off disaster. 】
[If they can cheat Dijiang, Jiujiu can also cheat them. ]
Thinking this way, Caimi Jiujiu came to several imperial doctors, holding his stomach, "Ouch, ouch, why does my stomach hurt so much..."
When several imperial doctors saw that the person crying out in pain was the emperor's favorite little princess, they hurriedly stretched out their hands to feel Jiujiu's pulse to see what was wrong with her.
But just when their hands were about to touch Jiujiu, Jiujiu suddenly sat down on the snow-covered ground.
The three imperial doctors were wondering why the princess suddenly fell down when they heard Jiujiu say.
"You, you actually pushed me?"
Jiujiu sat on the ground, looking at the three doctors with tearful eyes, feeling so aggrieved.
Nanny Gui said distressedly: "My dear princess, your bottom must be hurt!" She turned to look at the three doctors and said: "Three doctors, you are adults, how can you bully a child like this? The princess is only three and a half years old!"
Three imperial doctors: "..."
Princess, how could you do this?
I've only heard of unscrupulous old people committing fraud, but I didn't expect that a child would also commit fraud, and she is a princess, a favored daughter of heaven!
"Princess, we didn't push you!"
"Really not!"
Several imperial physicians were so anxious that they were about to cry, and they all stood up to defend the patient.
"If we push you, we will not die well. In the next life, we will be a turtle, a mung bean, or a mouse, and be despised by everyone."
"Princess, you must have misunderstood something?"
Jiujiu also cried very loudly. She was lying on the ground, kicking her legs, looking like a second-generation rich kid who was playing tricks on her.
"You pushed me, you pushed me, my butt hurts!"
"My butt must be in bloom."
"Father, Mother, please come and save Jiujiu?"
Jiujiu shouted loudly.
The maids and nannies who were serving her surrounded Jiujiu, running around in a panic.
Dahuang also bit the robes of the imperial doctors fiercely.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
Dahuang kept barking.
The three imperial doctors panicked when they saw this situation.
"Princess, please stop crying!"
Otherwise, if the emperor knew about such a big fuss, they would be in trouble no matter what the truth was.
"It hurts, it hurts, I want to cry!" Jiujiu continued to cry.
The three imperial doctors also saw that Jiujiu was deliberately trying to cause trouble. They had reasons but couldn't explain themselves and felt wronged, but it was useless.
The three of them sighed and said resignedly, "Princess, what do you want? As long as you don't cry, we will agree to anything!"
Jiujiu stretched out two little fingers and said seriously: "Twenty thousand taels of silver per person, otherwise, I... I will continue to cry..."
Jiujiu burst into tears.
The crying was even louder than before.
All the royal guards guarding nearby were attracted over.
The leading imperial guard asked, "What happened?" Seeing that it was Jiujiu, he said respectfully, "Princess, have you been bullied? Do you want us to help you ask the emperor for help?"
If Emperor Zhaoning came, no matter the imperial doctors pushed Jiujiu or not, as long as Jiujiu herself said that she was pushed down, Emperor Zhaoning loved Jiujiu so much that he would definitely believe her and punish the imperial doctors.
By then, the imperial doctors will be in trouble.
"No, no!" The doctor said hurriedly, "The princess was not bullied. How dare we bully her? The princess just fell down accidentally."
"Princess, is that so?" The Royal Guard did not believe the imperial physician's words and asked Jiujiu instead.
“…”
The three imperial doctors were so angry that they almost died.
how so?
Why is this happening?
Why? Why?
They clearly didn't push anyone, but why were they suspected like this? And they were being held hostage by a little kid?
I have never seen such a thing in my life.
I've never experienced anything like this before.
This kid is really capable!
Jiujiu said pitifully: "Yes..."
Before she finished speaking, one of the doctors covered Jiujiu's mouth and said, "Princess, don't talk nonsense. We will agree to whatever you want."
Although twenty thousand taels is a bit too much, it is better than being punished by the emperor.
The emperor is very fierce!
If they are not careful, they may lose their jobs.
"Okay." Jiujiu nodded and took away the hand that was covering her mouth.
Jiujiu choked up and said to the Royal Guard: "...Well, I fell down accidentally."
“…Is that so!!”
The royal guards were still a little skeptical. The princess looked aggrieved, as if she was threatened.
He asked, "Princess, if you feel threatened, just blink?"
Jiujiu: “…”
"How could we possibly threaten the princess?" The imperial physician was speechless. "You imperial guards are overthinking. We are innocent! We dare not threaten the princess, no matter who we threaten."
"You're overthinking it!" The Royal Guards said, "Princess, you speak, we only believe what you say, not others."
"We will give you 20,000 taels right away, Princess, please don't say anything nonsense! Otherwise, we will be finished."
They can't afford the emperor's wrath!
The imperial doctors were really scared!
