"cousin?"
Situ Ruixue spoke until her mouth was dry, but Xiao Ci never responded.
The expectation in her eyes gradually dimmed. In order to hide the loss, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Xiao Ci slowly raised his eyes: "You wait first!"
"What do you mean?"
Seeing Xiao Ci's hurriedly leaving back, Situ Ruixue shouted loudly.
Xiao Ci didn't stop.
He went to Yueji, but Qu Li had already left.
As a last resort, he could only go to Prince Chen's Mansion.
Qu Li was not there either. He had no other choice but to send someone out to inquire about her. Finally, he got the news that she was in the clinic.
When Xiao Ci rushed over, Qu Li was talking to Doctor Zhou.
Because Qu Li's chain of medical clinics not only provided free clinics but also offered cheap medicines, and the doctors there were highly skilled, Qu Li would come to see patients from time to time, and Doctor Zhou's Jirentang became increasingly desolate.
He felt that he might not be able to pay these pharmacists and doctors their wages next month.
After thinking for a long time, he decided to find Qu Li to discuss the sale of Jirentang.
Qu Li has not expressed his opinion and the atmosphere is deadlocked.
"Princess Chen, no matter what conflicts we had before, we are both doctors after all. Could you please take over Jirentang for the sake of its doctors and medicine boys?"
What he said was extremely sincere. Qu Li really looked down on Dr. Zhou, but she was indeed interested in acquiring Jirentang.
"Doctor Zhou, Jirentang's reputation is not very good."
When Doctor Zhou came to the door, he had already guessed that Qu Li would definitely lower the price. He quickly said, "Princess Chen, what do you think of the price? Just name it."
"How about this, you leave Jirentang and I will buy it!"
"this……"
Doctor Zhou was a little confused.
He was obsessed with medicine, which is why the previous owner took advantage of him.
He wanted Qu Li to take over Jirentang because he thought he could still stay.
"Doctor Zhou, you almost killed Qu Wenqian before!"
"This is no small matter! Qu Wenqian has syphilis, a disease that is incurable!"
Qu Li smiled and rubbed the rim of his teacup. "Doctor Zhou, tell the Marquis of Yongshun about this. I'll help you arrange for you to continue practicing as a doctor somewhere else. How do you do that?"
Doctor Zhou was overjoyed, "Good!"
Qu Li asked someone to send Doctor Zhou away, and then Shanzi led Xiao Ci in.
"What's wrong with the Second Prince?"
Xiao Ci looked at Qu Li deeply.
The aggression in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Qu Li had a silver needle in his hand, which shot towards him quickly.
Xiao Ci was not paying attention for a moment, and the silver needle pierced deeply into his forehead.
"you--"
"Second Prince, I am not one of those concubines you keep in your house. If you stare at me like this again next time, I will not just pierce your forehead!"
Xiao Ci took a deep breath and dispelled his restlessness.
"I'm just curious about how many weird ideas you have in your head!"
Qu Li curled his lips, "Rather than saying that the Second Prince is curious about what strange ideas I have, it's better to say that you are curious about how much money I can earn."
Her eyes were full of sarcasm, but it was still pleasing to the eye to see a beauty saying such words.
He smiled and said, "You are quite clever! You can actually guess what I am thinking."
"Second Prince, it seems that Miss Situ had a very good experience at Yueji?"
"Rui Xue really likes Yueji's projects! She called it beauty treatment?"
"Yes, beauty treatments! Miss Situ only needs to pay another nine thousand taels of silver to upgrade to a Supreme Member! After all, she is the Second Prince's cousin, and the General Zhenbei has been stationed at the border for so many years. I don't think the Second Prince would be stingy with the money, right?"
"Qu Li!" Xiao Ci said confidently, "I want to cooperate with you!"
"Cooperation..."
"Yes, cooperation!"
"Cooperation is not impossible." Qu Li suppressed the playful smile on his face, "However, the Second Prince can only share the profits and cannot participate in decision-making!"
"this……"
"I can give Miss Situ a Supreme Membership Card made of pure gold!"
Xiao Ci rubbed his fingertips, "How much silver do I need to invest?"
"Fifty thousand taels!"
A smile spread across Xiao Ci's face, "Fifty thousand taels is a small amount!"
"The Second Prince is truly wealthy. Fifty thousand taels of gold is actually a small sum?"
The voice as sweet as pearls and jade reached his ears, and Xiao Ci's face turned pale and blue, as if he had eaten shit.
"If the Second Prince finds it acceptable, we can sign the contract right away!"
"Let me think about it first!"
"Shanzi, send the Second Prince off."
Qu Li did not try to keep him, which made Xiao Ci feel a little disappointed.
Until he left, Qu Li's gaze never lingered on him for a moment.
When Changle learned about this, he was puzzled.
"Seventh cousin, aren't you afraid that if you cooperate with your second cousin, that jealous seventh cousin will explode?"
Qu Li just smiled and said nothing.
Bai Ruowei looked at her deeply and asked uncertainly, "Li'er, are you doing this for Prince Chen?"
Changle felt complicated for a moment.
She now has a very good relationship with Qu Wenzhao, and she truly feels that it is a very happy thing to be in love with the person she loves.
But on one side is Qu Li, and on the other side is Xiao Xian, both of whom are people she cares about, and she cannot force the two of them together.
Now that Feng Yi has left Dagan, Xiao Xian will be back soon. She still hopes that Xiao Xian can bring happiness to Qu Li and not cause Qu Li to be disliked by the emperor.
"It's for Xiao Xian!"
The deputy leader of the Shadow Pavilion gave her a message that the King of Zhongshan would be coming to the capital soon.
She knew very well why King Zhongshan came here this time.
The original owner had liked Xiao Xian for so many years, was crazy about Xiao Xian, and even lost her life for Xiao Xian. She actually felt sorry for the original owner.
Among Emperor Kang's many princes, only Xiao Xian was the most suitable one to sit on the throne and allow the people to live and work in peace.
She was bound to divorce Xiao Xian, just to repay the original owner's infatuation for so many years!
She will let Xiao Ci and Xiao Rui fight each other, so that Xiao Xian can reap the benefits.
Bai Ruowei saw clearly the momentary melancholy in her eyes.
Bai Ruowei said nothing, even though she guessed something.
She just held Qu Li's hand and comforted her silently.
Changle was very happy and talked incessantly.
"Seventh cousin, what do you think, will my second cousin finally come up with 50,000 taels of gold? He's a prince, and if he comes up with so much silver all at once, isn't he afraid that the emperor will get suspicious?"
"He's not stupid. These fifty thousand taels of gold may soon create two fifty thousand taels for him, or even more!" Bai Ruowei looked at Changle anxiously.
Changle seemed to understand, "But, isn't it just that you have to spend money to join the club, and then all the services after that are free?"
Qu Li couldn't help but laugh, "The service is indeed free, but the information has a price tag!"
"What do you mean? Is Yueji selling information?" Changle opened his mouth in surprise and even stuttered.
