"There are more than a dozen more over there at the inn." Bai Ling added from the side.
When the Ninth Prince heard the number, the hanging ones fell down first.
These black pearls are naturally not enough to make medicine for the Queen Mother.
In the Royal Physician's pharmacy, there is initially one black pearl every five days, and then one black pearl will be added every five days.
As long as the remaining black pearls can be delivered within a month, treatment for the Queen Mother can begin today.
The royal family of the Western Han Dynasty was naturally also searching for black pearls, but the quantity was small and the quality was not as good as what they had in front of them, so they kept delaying the Queen Mother's illness.
"Okay, I will report to the emperor brother that I will buy the black pearl in your hand at the price of ten thousand taels of silver each. This one hundred thousand tael silver note is the deposit." The Ninth Prince handed over the ninety thousand tael silver note, bronze.
His skin had an almost invisible red glow.
The Ninth Prince is the god of war in the Western Han Dynasty, but he is not good at management.
If the Ninth Prince had not been interested in the art of carving since he was a child, and the auction house did not dare to accept his commission, the one hundred thousand taels of silver would not have been available.
Shangguan Yu had heard a bit about the Ninth Prince, and knew that he used almost all the output of his property to take care of the disabled soldiers and the families of the fallen soldiers, so he had a good impression of him.
"We believe that Lord Ninth Prince will keep his word, and there is no need to pay a deposit. Once all the black pearls are delivered, we can ask the court to settle the payment together." Shangguan Yu pushed the banknote over and said sincerely: "Duan has heard that Ninth Prince has
I also sincerely admire the Ninth Prince for his deeds. There are more people who need these banknotes than us and my wife."
"I didn't expect Mr. Duan to be a kind person, hahaha!" The Ninth Prince was not polite, and directly put the banknote and a few black pearls into his sleeve pocket, "Two of you, can you take me to get it now?
black Pearl?"
"Please wait a moment, Your Majesty. My wife has done business with the auction house and the payment has not been settled yet," Shangguan Yu said.
"Mrs. Ling, you are different. The two of you are a match made in heaven." The Ninth Prince was in a good mood, so naturally he didn't mind a few words of praise.
The three of them exchanged some pleasantries, and the atmosphere was quite good.
Not long after, the steward knocked on the door again and came to Bai Ling with the banknote and contract.
Because of the Ninth Prince's relationship, the manager used his authority to give Bai Ling the greatest discount.
Auction items only receive a 10% commission.
Although there were no black pearls in the bag of pearls, I still accepted them all at six thousand taels of silver each, which was definitely the highest price.
He just came to the auction house to 'fish', and by the way, he received hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Bai Ling was smiling all the time, and Shangguan Yu had a doting look on his face.
It actually made the Ninth Prince, who had not married the princess so far, have the idea of getting married.
But this is just an idea. The Ninth Prince has always thought women are troublesome, but he doesn't dare to marry one. He will cry and wipe his eyes at every turn.
"Shangguan, you went specifically to see the Ninth Prince today, but do you think he will help us find a master?" In the dead of night, the couple entered the space to talk, and there was no need to take precautions.
"No." Shangguan Yu said firmly: "The Ninth Prince is a man with the blood of a soldier, but he is also a member of the royal family. Even if he does not agree with the practice of imprisoning Mr. Shang, he will not oppose the royal family and release Shang.
old."
"The most important thing is that the Ninth Prince has made great achievements in battle, and the emperor of the Western Han Dynasty will definitely be on guard against him. Maybe the Ninth Prince doesn't even know where Mr. Shang is."
Bai Ling frowned and searched in Kyoto for several days but found no clues, which was really worrying.
"If the emperor imprisoned the master, would he imprison him in the palace?" Bai Ling suddenly widened his eyes, "Black Pearl, this prescription must have been prescribed by the master!"
"Are you sure?" Shangguan Yu asked.
"Yes." Bai Ling nodded heavily, "When the master was in Nanshan Village, he once mentioned a prescription to me, which required black pearls as a medicine. At that time, the master also said that although the prescription was good, it was priceless.
There are very few people who can afford it, and even if they have money, they can't buy so many black pearls."
"The master has always been very sorry for not being able to make this prescription, so I gave him a bag of black pearls and told him that if someone really needs this recipe to save someone, I can provide the black pearls."
The more Bai Ling talked, the more he felt that this recipe must have been written by Mr. Shang.
After all, not many people dare to write such a prescription, and most people would not easily think of using such a large amount of black pearls to save people.
"Let's go to the palace and have a look." Shangguan Yu said seriously.
"Well, if the master can prescribe this prescription, he must have diagnosed and treated the Empress Dowager. If the Empress Dowager of the Western Han Dynasty really got a strange disease, the emperor would be worried if he did not let the master, a miracle doctor, guard her." Bai Ling guessed.
The two reached a consensus that no matter how reliable the guess was, they must give it a try.
Bai Ling couldn't wait to verify the authenticity, so he moved the space towards the palace.
The layout of the imperial palace of the Western Han Dynasty was roughly similar to that of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so it didn't take much effort for Bai Ling to find the Cining Palace where the Queen Mother lived.
However, after searching around the Cining Palace for a few times, Bai Ling was almost on the verge of escaping, and there was no trace of Mr. Shang.
"Perhaps Mr. Shang is in the palace, not the Cining Palace." Seeing Bai Ling's anxiety, Shangguan Yu analyzed: "The emperor of the Western Han Dynasty put Mr. Shang under house arrest, so there must be some unknown secrets. He should not worry about letting Mr. Shang be exposed."
"Well, let's keep looking. As long as the master is in the palace, we will definitely find him," Bai Ling said.
Bai Ling was not in such a hurry to find Mr. Shang until there were clues.
Now he suspected that Mr. Shang was imprisoned in the palace, but he still couldn't find Mr. Shang. Bai Ling was afraid that something had happened to Mr. Shang, or that he was sent to another place.
The Western Han Dynasty is so big. How difficult is it to find someone without a target?
Eastern Han Dynasty, Yang Mansion.
Today is the day of the little one’s bath, so naturally some relatives and friends came to congratulate him.
No matter whether everyone expresses sincere congratulations or not, there must always be face-to-face interactions.
As for those who were still secretly trying to get the Bai family to speak out, after Princess Han personally came to congratulate her and had a pleasant chat with the Bai family, no one dared to say a bad word again.
"People in this capital speak in a roundabout way, and those who listen are exhausted." Bai Liu took advantage of the few people around and whispered to Princess Han.
"If you don't like them, then you won't interact with them. When you go to Beijing, you don't even say how many days you will stay in the palace. If word spreads about it, it will be thought that I don't want to see you and your father-in-law. I am alone, and there is no one to talk to."
." Princess Han naturally would not act like a princess in front of Bai Liu, and she could not tell that she was a princess at all.
"When Cao'er is out of confinement, I will go live with you for a few days. When I return to the village, I can brag that I have lived in the palace." Bai Liu agreed with a smile.
On the Yang family side, Mrs. Yang is the only in-law of the next generation, so the Bailiu family doesn't have anyone who can talk to them.
It's just that Baicao is still in confinement, and Mrs. Bai Liu is afraid that her daughter will be wronged during confinement, so she is not willing to leave.
"It's settled, as soon as Cao'er is out of confinement, I will come directly to you to stay for a while, but you are not allowed to find any excuses to push me away." Princess Han said loudly.
Princess Han sincerely invited her, but she also said these words for others to hear.
Confinement is extremely important for a woman. If there is another blind person who wants to seize this opportunity to seduce Yang Fan, she will have to wait and see if Princess Han agrees.
Baicao was pregnant before, but Mrs. Yang was afraid that something might happen to her child, so she stopped everything.
But now during confinement, Yang Fan is still in the capital, and Baicao cannot sleep with Yang Fan. Princess Han is really afraid of Mrs. Yang and can't think of it, so she has to take a concubine for Yang Fan.
If Yang Fan married someone else, Princess Han wouldn't worry about it, but that was her daughter-in-law's biological sister. In order to prevent her daughter-in-law from getting angry, she had earlier focused on having children with Shangguan Yu, so Princess Han had to protect her.
