Shangguan Yu and Bai Ling searched all the places around the capital and suburbs of Beijing, but did not find any places where people made medicine.
The couple was not sure whether they were prepared for the news they had received before, so they began to follow many ministers and search their mansions.
A few officials were finally identified, and those who have no problem with being loyal to the country and serving the people will be temporarily added to the list.
Once a crisis does occur, these people will call on the people to rise up and fight.
A month goes by in a blink of an eye.
The people arranged by Bai Ling had also made a pretense to come all the way from the Eastern Han Dynasty, and naturally they brought empty boxes.
More than a hundred black pearls of better quality were given to the Ninth Prince by the couple.
"We've been out for a long time, and it's time for us to go back. The Ninth Prince is true to his word. I don't know when to pay?" Bai Ling said in a businessman's tone.
"I, the king, come into the palace and ask your royal brother to withdraw the banknote." The Ninth Prince looked at the black pearl and almost pounced on it.
Naturally, the Ninth Prince didn't like these dark things.
But the black pearl can save the life of the Queen Mother, not to mention the money, but even the life of the Ninth Prince, he will give it.
"There's no rush, we husband and wife are about to leave, why don't we invite the Ninth Prince to have a meal of Eastern Han Dynasty folk food in the house, and I'll cook it myself, how about that?" Bai Ling deliberately gave the two of them a chance to talk alone, so he smiled and invited the Ninth Prince to stay.
Down.
After glancing at Shangguan Yu and seeing that he had no unnecessary expression, the Ninth Prince also guessed something, so he nodded and said, "In that case, I won't bother you."
"You're welcome, Ninth Prince." Bai Ling raised his head and told Nian Xia and Jian Qiu who were guarding the door: "Send the black pearl to the Ninth Prince's Mansion, buy some fresh vegetables, and then go to the kitchen to help me.
.”
The two girls responded, Jianqiu came in to get the brocade box, and they went about their own business.
Bai Ling said sorry and left first.
When it comes to topics between men, sometimes it is not convenient for a woman to be present.
At least as the Ninth Prince, he is not willing to talk to women about serious matters, even if he is just listening.
"Prince Shangguan, please speak up if you have anything to say." The Ninth Prince picked up the tea cup and said in a cold voice: "As long as you do not do anything harmful to the Western Han royal family or the interests of the Western Han Dynasty, I will definitely fulfill your promise."
"Does the prince know whose property this address belongs to?" Shangguan Yu took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket and put it next to the Ninth Prince.
"Prince Shangguan has taken a fancy to this property?" The Ninth Prince glanced at it and did not answer directly.
"Your Majesty, you can go and conduct an in-depth investigation. I will not ask what mysteries are hidden in this property and how to deal with them." Shangguan Yu said solemnly: "But if the Ninth Prince really thinks that there is something wrong with it,
If it should exist, please write to me. This matter is of great importance, and I hope Lord Nine will act with caution."
"What Prince Shangguan means is that there is something wrong with this place?" The Ninth Prince's face darkened a little, and his eyes fell on the note.
"Given the capabilities of the Western Han Dynasty, he must have known about the poisonous incidents that occurred in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Ninth Prince thought that if someone harmed Tianhe, regardless of the life and death of innocent people, in order to become the overlord of the world, he would produce large quantities of
Is it feasible for poisonous people to be the vanguard of the army?" Shangguan Yu asked in a low voice.
Although Shangguan Yu didn't say who the person who wanted to be the overlord was, both parties knew it.
The Ninth Prince looked slightly angry and said coldly: "Prince Shangguan must have misunderstood something. Although our Western Han Dynasty is not as rich as the Eastern Han Dynasty, it has strong soldiers and horses, and the people are united. Why do we need to do such inhumane things!"
"That's what the Ninth Prince thinks, not everyone else." Shangguan Yu narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Since I dare to say it, I naturally went to verify it. Not only some people in the Western Han Dynasty royal family want to make it privately
Poison Man, some people have joined forces with the people who made Poison Man, please be careful, Ninth Prince."
"Impossible!" The Ninth Prince slapped the table and stood up.
"I also hope that it is impossible, so that no one will be devastated!" Shangguan Yu said in a deep voice.
The Ninth Prince angrily wanted to go out, but saw Jian Qiu covering his arms and staggering back.
Blood dripped down Jianqiu's arm and spread all over the ground.
"What happened?" Shangguan Yu asked with a frown.
"My subordinate is incompetent. The black pearl was snatched away. I was entangled by two black-clothed masters and failed to catch up. I can only save my life first and come back to report." Jianqiu knelt down on one knee to apologize.
"What?" The Ninth Prince exclaimed and was about to leave.
Bai Ling, who had already changed into home clothes, had just received Nian Xia's letter and was already rushing here, just in time to stop the Ninth Prince.
"Ninth Prince, wait a minute." Bai Ling blocked the door and stopped the Ninth Prince in his tracks.
"Get out of the way!" The Ninth Prince shouted, anxious about the whereabouts of the black pearl.
"It's just more than a hundred black pearls. I still have them here. Are you sure you want to waste time looking for someone now instead of pretending not to know and see what the person who robbed the black pearls wants to do?" Bai Ling
He asked with a slight smile.
"Do you really have more?" The Ninth Prince was more concerned about this.
"The greatest advantage of this concubine is that she doesn't lie to others." Bai Ling nodded, passed the Ninth Prince, walked towards Jianqiu, and helped him up, "Silly girl, how could you let yourself be so seriously injured for the sake of something external to you?
"
"This slave is useless and has caused the master to lose more than one million taels of silver. He should be severely punished." Jian Qiu stood up, but still blamed himself.
"I'll keep it in your dowry later. It won't be as large as Nian Xia's dowry in the future, but don't blame me as the master for being unfair." Bai Ling chuckled, as if he really didn't take that matter to heart, but was interested in it.
Nian Xia ordered: "Prepare the surgical tools. Your suturing skills are good. You will suture Jianqiu's wound."
When helping Jianqiu up, Bai Ling had already checked her pulse and confirmed that she was not poisoned.
As for the injury, the muscles and bones were not touched, but Bai Ling did not need to do it himself.
It's not that Bai Ling doesn't take his servants seriously, but that there is no need for Bai Ling to take over what Nian Xia can do, and he does everything himself.
The Ninth Prince looked at the interaction between the master and the servants and was speechless.
For him, 10,000 taels of silver was enough to lose his marriage.
But to Bai Ling, more than one million taels of silver was nothing. How could he, a dignified prince, get to such an extent?
Looking at Shangguan Yu's calm expression and not blaming Jian Qiu, the Ninth Prince finally realized how important it is to marry a wife who can make money.
"Um, can I see the suturing technique?" Although the Ninth Prince likes money, he is not greedy for what is not his.
The art of suturing, on the other hand, is a secret art of the Eastern Han Dynasty. No one in the Western Han Dynasty can really master it yet.
As a general, the Ninth Prince knew how important suturing was to soldiers, so he was very interested in it.
"The injured person is Jianqiu. The Ninth Prince should ask her for advice. However, the wound is not serious. Even if the Ninth Prince learns how to do it, he can only deal with this kind of flesh injury, not all surgeries." Bai
After Ling understood what he said, he turned and left.
If you promise a banquet, you can't break your promise.
There is no shortage of ingredients in the space. Let’s treat it like a bargain today.
Fortunately, Bai Ling's space stores some fruits and vegetables from outside. It's just that they've been left in the space for a long time and have absorbed some spiritual energy, so the difference won't be big. (To be continued)
