"The prince has damaged a total of 100,000 taels of silver worth of goods from the clinic. Add to that the threats he caused to my men, and each of them has to pay an additional 500 taels of silver for mental damage. He has also caused secondary damage to the clinic's reputation. After all, Luo Ning'er is also the prince's person. If we assume all the responsibilities together, 500,000 taels of silver is not too much, right?" Yun Miao smiled.
Mu Yeting looked at the angry woman with a dark face and a black heart, and stammered, "Five...five hundred thousand taels? You're robbing me!"
Although a lot of the herbs were messed up and trampled, most of them could still be put back into use. Some tables and chairs were not worth a hundred thousand taels. This woman was simply crazy.
"Your Highness seems reluctant." Yun Miao put her hands behind her back and stood up straight. "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Since Your Highness is unwilling to compensate for the losses, we can only strip him naked and parade him through the streets."
"You dare!" Mu Yeting glared at Yun Miao.
Who knew Yun Miao would slap him in the face, causing Mu Yeting to see stars. "Do you trust me now?"
The people around opened their mouths slightly.
Perhaps he didn't expect Yun Miao to actually dare to attack Mu Yeting.
Mu Yeting didn't expect that this was the first woman who dared to attack him.
It wasn't until Tao Yao and Tan Yao started to strip him that he resisted like a chaste woman: "I am willing to compensate, but I don't have that much money. Give me another day."
"It will take an incense stick of time. Send your servants back to get it now." Yun Miao said.
Mu Yeting's clothes were disheveled, and there was a large slap mark on his face. He looked extremely embarrassed. He could only order the guard beside him: "Hurry up!"
The guards had never seen such a scene before, so they left quickly.
In just a stick of incense, the 500,000 taels of silver were brought over.
Ah Hei and the others were shocked when they each received 500 taels of silver. They felt that the silver was unusually heavy and did not dare to accept it.
"Take them all. After all, they are the prince's sincere heart." Yun Miao said.
Mu Yeting looked at Yun Miao's face and felt that he never wanted to look at it again in his life. "Now... now can you let me go?"
"Well, but your ladyship has to stay to restore the reputation of the clinic, so she can't go back with the prince." Yun Miao said.
The guards untied Mu Yeting, and he naturally didn't dare to attack Yun Miao again. Thinking of the two terrifying maids beside her who could catch blades with their bare hands or fight a dozen guards single-handedly, he hurriedly retreated to the door and glanced at Luo Meng'er, who was sitting on the ground, with disgust: "You can do whatever you want with that woman. I will not care."
After he finished speaking, he left as quickly as if escaping.
It doesn’t matter that he can’t win. Now that the people from the Immortal Palace are still in the palace, he will definitely ask his father to seek justice for him.
Seeing Mu Yeting leaving without even turning his head, Luo Ning'er felt hopeless.
"See clearly, wealth and glory are not yours, and you can't even control your own destiny." Yun Miao looked at this scene and sneered sarcastically.
Listening to Yun Miao's words, Luo Ning'er was still expecting Mu Yeting to bring people to rescue her tomorrow.
After all, no matter how poor Mu Yeting was, he was still a prince, and it was impossible for him to allow a mere commoner to insult him like this.
Luo Ning'er didn't say anything. She felt that Yun Miao was still too ignorant.
If you fight against the imperial court alone, isn't that ridiculous?
Little did they know that the first thing the clinic did after Mu Yeting left was to run to the palace.
In front of the black and white chessboard, Mu Qianqiu looked at the dignified and aloof Saint Maiden across from him. While playing chess, he inquired about the situation: "I heard that the Saint Maiden wanted to meet Yun Yatou, but she rejected her?"
The Saint Maiden did not remind Mu Qianqiu to address Yun Miao. After all, Tiansheng Kingdom was the birthplace of the Immortal Lord. The Immortal Lord had probably long been treated as his elder by the Emperor.
"The Immortal Lord was injured by heavenly thunder, and it is said that his image has been damaged, so he doesn't want to see anyone. We may have to bother Your Majesty in the palace for a few days..." It is rare for the Saint to be so polite to anyone, even Emperor Xiang did not treat her like this.
"Of course, it's my blessing to be able to receive you all." Mu Qianqiu said from the bottom of his heart.
After all, the transformation of the Immortal Palace from an enemy to an ally was a win-win for Tiansheng. Especially now that the Jianghu was so powerful, without this ally, the imperial court would have been devoured by the various spiritual villains long ago.
On the chessboard between the two people, Mu Qianqiu's black pieces fell and surrounded the white pieces.
However, the white piece on the opposite side took every step carefully and turned the situation around in a moment.
The two of them played games back and forth, and they actually found some sense of friendship.
After a back-and-forth exchange of words, Mu Qianqiu slowly got to the point. "Um... I know the Immortal Lord is extremely important to the Immortal Palace. I wonder what the Saint Lady and the elders think of a spiritual cultivator falling in love with a mortal."
A big part of the reason why he asked this question was because of yesterday's spiritual root test. Mu Qianqiu's only worry was what other people in the Immortal Palace would think.
For example, he might feel that his son is not worthy of Yun Miao and would want to stop her, so he asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, a deep glint flashed across the Saint's sagacious eyes before she raised them quietly. "During the test that day, the Emperor didn't seem disappointed by the Third Prince's spiritual roots. But now that the Third Prince is the Immortal Lord's companion, he can only be stronger, not weaker. Yet, the Emperor's attitude was so strange—it was truly odd. So, after returning home, the Saint pondered over it and suddenly recalled the rumor from over twenty years ago: a spirit descended upon Tiansheng, Guangze Continent. A powerful woman fell in love with a prince in Tiansheng and gave birth to a child. Shortly after the birth, she ascended to heaven. However, before ascending, she warned all spiritual practitioners not to disrespect her descendants and vanished completely. Several spiritual practitioners at the peak of their powers at the time had received the news, but unfortunately, the Saint wasn't strong enough to know the details. Now, considering their ages, the prince who had fallen in love with the powerful man's predecessor was most likely the Emperor!"
Mu Qianqiu's hand trembled slightly, and then he laughed: "I didn't expect that there are such rumors among spiritual practitioners. I have never heard of it."
"The Emperor does not have to be so cautious. I know that as the descendant of a powerful person, the Emperor must be worried that his identity will be exposed and he will not be able to grow up safely. However, the Emperor may have underestimated the deterrent power of a powerful person. The reason why this prince can grow up safely is not because of the Emperor's concealment. It's because no one dares to offend a powerful person who can ascend to the realm..." The Saint directly exposed the words.
Mu Qianqiu's expression suddenly darkened: "The Saint is right, I am indeed incompetent."
"That baby should be the Third Prince, right?" thought the Saint.
