After understanding the implication of Xia Chiwan's words, the fifteenth prince felt a lot more comfortable. Even though he knew that Concubine Li was not having a good life after being thrown into the cold palace, he just left Concubine Li there, which made the fifteenth prince feel uncomfortable.
However, if Concubine Li is bound to die, then the fifteenth prince will not take action.
"How is Dr. Lin doing today?" Xia Chiwan changed the subject and asked Dr. Lin.
You must know that although the poison in Chu's body was much lighter than that of the Emperor's, Chu's age was older than that of the Emperor's. Therefore, his body must not be as good as that of the Emperor's.
The emperor was deeply poisoned and stimulated, and the two sides of the attack made the emperor's condition worse.
In short, neither the Chu family nor the emperor's situation is optimistic.
If the antidote had been researched earlier, the Emperor and the Chu family would have been less in danger.
"It's okay." Regarding the antidote, the fifteenth prince didn't understand, so his answer was rather vague.
Seeing the appearance of the fifteenth prince, Xia Chiwan could only sigh, and then went to see Dr. Lin in person.
"What should I do? You tell me!" The fifteenth prince was working hard to deal with the emperor's condition, and the prince's place was not peaceful either.
The grain and grass in the treasury were indeed manipulated by the prince, but the prince was also forced to have no choice.
Speaking of this matter, it must be said that Li Donglin is a talent.
Nearly a year ago, the prince handed over one million taels to Bu Zhanfeng and Li Donglin for recruiting troops. Who knew that this news was known to Li Xuzhi and Xia Chiwan in advance.
So the two of them worked together to rob Dao'er, put the one million taels of silver into their own pockets, and then used the prince's money to do what the prince wanted to do.
Afterwards, Li Donglin and Bu Zhanfeng tried their best to scrape together money to make up for the shortfall of one million taels.
With great difficulty, people who knew about it at the time collected enough 500,000 taels of silver, which was enough to survive for a while.
Originally, they were still short of 500,000 taels of silver. Li Donglin and the other two people hoped that Bu Zhanfeng would have the ability to come up with it. After all, more than half of the previous 500,000 taels were taken by Bu Zhanfeng.
But how could Li Donglin have imagined that Bu Zhanfeng, who was first recalled to Kyoto City by the prince, would turn around and go to the battlefield to make great achievements.
Now Bu Zhanfeng has gone to the battlefield to fight. With the remaining five hundred thousand taels of silver, how can Li Donglin dare to hope for Bu Zhanfeng anymore.
Furthermore, considering the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that Bu Zhanfeng was willing to give out before, Li Donglin had to admit that Bu Zhanfeng was a loyal person.
Therefore, after knowing this situation, Li Donglin thought of a way to even out the deficit of 500,000 taels.
It is not easy to raise an army. You have to have food, drink, toilet, and sleep. You also have to pay military salaries. In short, there are too many places where money needs to be spent.
It would be difficult to do it from other places, but it is not that difficult to do it from firewood, rice, oil and salt.
You must know that with more people, there will naturally be more food. Even if the price of each item has been increased by more than ten cents, the overall price has increased a lot.
In addition, there were many types of things to be used, and after going back and forth, Li Donglin really made a lot of money and smoothed out some accounts.
No matter what, Li Donglin was able to find a way to smooth out the five hundred thousand taels of accounts and deceive the prince. He is definitely a talent.
