After a long time, Yuan Qingling slowly got up and sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed, practicing abdominal breathing to calm down.
Don't be angry, don't be angry. Money is something external to one's body. If the scale of the college is smaller, then it should be smaller. Anyway, there is no doctor available now, so just set up one first, recruit fewer students, let Dr. Cao take care of it first, and then go to the Huimin Office.
I will find a part-time job and teach some basics, and then wait until the college is completed to expand enrollment.
She took a deep breath one last time and said, "Go to sleep!"
Yu Wenhao held her hand and went to bed. Yu Wenhao also felt sorry for the silver, but he felt sorry for her even more. Seeing that she gave her an extra hundred thousand taels, he didn't dare to say anything to irritate her. He would go crazy.
He believes that the best way to forget your worries is to do some exercise to break up a sweat, and then quietly put your hands over it.
’ Yuan Qingling held his hand and turned her head, looking pale and ferocious, “Lao Wu, how much do you want to pay at one time?”
Yu Wenhao lifted the quilt and asked, "How much does it cost per session?"
Yuan Qing Ling said quietly: "Forget it, your money is also my money. I have to take money from other people to make money."
Yu Wenhao took a breath of air and his eyes were fierce, "What did you say?
you dare?"
Yuan Qingling sobbed, "Lao Wu, my father blackmailed me for seven hundred thousand taels."
Yu Wenhao looked at her soft, white and delicate neck, and tried hard to resist the urge to press up and bite her neck off. His hair stood on end, his eyes kept protruding and moving outwards, and he trembled: "I heard it right, it's seven hundred thousand taels."
?"
Yuan Qingling covered her face with her hands, "He thought it was a bargain for me, and he didn't ask me to pay 800,000 taels."
Yu Wenhao lowered his hands heavily and weakly, sucking in the cool breeze, "Oh my God, I negotiated the price until my teeth bled, and then I lowered it to 200,000 taels. I didn't expect that my father would attack you. It was so cruel.
Why did you just give it to me?
You were so stingy in the past, and when I asked you for ten taels of silver, you had to give me a hard time, so why did you give away these seven hundred thousand taels without blinking an eye?"
"Why didn't you blink?
I blinked so hard I almost went blind."
Yuan Qingling covered her chest and said, "Forget it, I won't say it anymore. I can't bear it. Once I say it, I feel uncomfortable and my heart will break."
Yu Wenhao was silent for a long time, hey, let him sell it, he is worth money at least.
The two simply sat up and hugged each other. Yu Wenhao hugged her and asked, "Why are you willing to take 700,000 taels?"
Yuan Qing sighed and said, "I was fooled. My father said you were willing to give, and he had already gone out to borrow money. Who would have thought that he lied?"
Strictly speaking, my father did not lie. It was true that he was willing to give and also went out to borrow money, but he was unwilling to give so much.
Yuan Qingling raised her head and looked at him, "If we don't take the money, how will he handle this case?"
Yu Wenhao said: "Whether he takes the money or not, he has to think of an excuse to spare the mother-in-law and take her out. One is for my reputation, and the other is for his face, so as not to be criticized or criticized.
The concubine deceived and deceived the emperor. As for Su Dahe, if he is not killed, he will not have a good life. The reason for not killing him is to protect the emperor's grandmother, so he will definitely be dealt with. "
Yuan Qingling couldn't laugh or cry, "So, even if we don't give the money, the result will be the same?"
Yu Wenhao said dullly: "The result is the same, but I will definitely give you endless troubles in the future, so I thought of taking 200,000 yuan to get rid of the problem. Indeed, the mother-in-law is the mastermind, and I, the son, can only afford a penny."
If you don’t take it, it’s unjustifiable.”
Yuan Qingling said with emotion: "My father is so bold, careful, thick-skinned, and scheming. We are all too young."
Yu Wenhao glanced at her, but he actually wanted to say that she was just young. He had negotiated the price. Who knew she would give 700,000 taels?
However, he was still very touched in his heart. Lao Yuan had been very careful about money recently, but she was willing to spend so much money for him, which showed that in her heart, he was more important than anything else.
"It's all out, don't think about it anymore, we'll get another blackmail from the imperial grandfather later."
Yu Wenhao said.
Yuan Qingling was puzzled, "The old man has a gold mine and is very rich, why don't you help the court?
Can you help your father?
See how miserable my father has become?"
"That's the last line of defense. If a war really breaks out, the emperor can at least divert some of it to military expenditures."
Yu Wenhao sighed: "We in the Northern Tang Dynasty cannot withstand the losses of the war for the time being. This is why I insist on reaching an alliance agreement with the Zhou Dynasty. I hope that the two countries will watch each other, frighten the Northern Desert and Xianbei, and exchange for a short-term peace.
Okay, if we can fight for five or ten years, it will be of great benefit to us in Beitang."
Yu Wenhao said this, and Yuan Qingling felt a little better. As it is said that every man is responsible for the rise and fall of a country, she donated this money to the country at that time.
Don't think that you are helping Xian Fei to pay this money. Thinking like this will make you feel uncomfortable, not worth it, and unwilling.
The next day, Qingyu Palace! Emperor Ming Yuan ordered Eunuch Mu Ru to go to Qingyu Palace and declare an edict.
Concubine Xian knelt down to receive the order. After receiving the order, she was stunned. Then her face was full of rage and her whole body was shaking with anger.
He actually informed the emperor about this?
Rebellious son! Mu Rugong said: "Your Majesty, the Emperor deliberately favors you in this matter, so he asked you to return the stolen silver and fined silver of 500,000 taels. The Crown Princess has already raised 700,000 taels for you. You can look at the rest.
Let’s do it, we can get it together within three days.”
Concubine Xian kept a sullen face and said nothing, but she said nicely that the 700,000 taels was not given by her, but by Lao Wu. If she really had the heart to do so, she should have given them all.
When Eunuch Mu Ru saw that she was silent, he said again: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is very angry about this matter. Don't take chances. It's not that the Emperor doesn't want to make a big fuss about this matter. He just wants to do it for the sake of the Crown Prince."
You should hurry up and make up for the money. The emperor's decree is clear, five hundred thousand taels, not a penny less."
Concubine Xian suppressed her anger and said calmly: "I know, please go back."
Mu Rugong announced his withdrawal.
As soon as he came out of the yard, he heard loud noises of things being smashed inside. Eunuch Mu Ru shook his head gently and sighed, Concubine Xian has been really angry recently. Since she has been crowned prince, she can't sit still.
.
No wonder, she felt uncomfortable after being granted the title of Crown Prince but not the title of Mother-in-law.
But this cannot be obtained by making trouble. The prince's biological mother cannot be immoral.
Concubine Xian smashed all the things in the palace before sitting down panting, holding the imperial edict in her hand. The imperial edict did not reprimand her. It was businesslike and indifferent. She only asked her to return the stolen silver and fined silver, but did not mention any punishment.
, not even a word revealed his disappointment and anger.
Concubine Xian has served Emperor Ming Yuan for more than twenty years. She is very aware of Emperor Ming Yuan's temperament. He allows his concubines to have small fights, but once it escalates to endangering the court and the people, it will offend his bad habits.
It touched his bottom line.
Even if he forgives her, her future life in the palace will probably be miserable.
When Lao Wu came to question her, she was not afraid at all. Lao Wu was her biological son, and there was no way a son would give his mother away.
But she never expected that he would directly report to the emperor. Concubine Xian's heart felt as if ice had condensed, and her whole body was shaking with cold.
