He Lianxuan was scolded bloody and even beaten by the emperor. The marriage became a certainty. Ning Xianer learned that she was going to marry into Prince Wei's palace as a concubine. She was going to hang herself that night and was killed by a maid.
I found out that I didn’t die just now.
The Duke's Mansion and the Third Prince's Mansion were both in a mess, but Ning Wan stayed in Mo Garden to recuperate and turned a deaf ear to these things. Helian Mochuan still refused to go to court, and even refused to go to the reception banquet hosted by the emperor.
He guarded Ning Wan every day, looking like he was giving up his country for a woman, which made the emperor very satisfied.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has sent people to ask again, when will Your Majesty come to the court to take charge of government affairs?" In the past few days, the Emperor had sent people to ask questions every day, and Leng Li and the others were tired of it.
Helian Mochuan still said calmly: "Now the affairs of the court are all in the hands of the Eighth Prince. Whether I go to court or not, it is the same! Tell the people in the palace that I am ill and cannot go to court.
Governance!"
After Leng Li dismissed everyone in the palace, he returned to the study.
"Your Majesty, Su Feng has sent a letter saying that he has arrived in the east of Shu and is waiting for the prince's order!"
Helian Mochuan closed the book in his hand, stood up and opened the curtain behind the study, and a huge map of Kyushu appeared in front of people.
"In today's court, the emperor only cares about the princes who have been beaten to death in order to ascend to the throne of the crown prince, and they have neglected to guard the borders. General Xie has been stationed outside for many years, but has never been called back to the capital to report on his duties. Is the emperor planning to do so?
Let Xie Jiajun fend for himself?"
"My lord, my subordinates have served in the Xie family army. They have strict discipline and strong soldiers and horses! In recent years, the salary issued by the court has been very little. After some exploitation, the military salary that fell into the hands of General Xie was only 30% at most. He can use 30%
The Xie family's army has raised hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses with military pay, so it can be seen that General Xie is a rare talent in our dynasty."
Helian Mochuan sneered and said: "How can the emperor not know about the talent that you all know! He has been refusing to let General Xie return to the capital. There must be something fishy here! Send someone to investigate. I want to know what is hidden in it.
What a secret!"
Although he did not go to court, Helian Mochuan still knew the affairs of the court very well.
Ning Wan was busy selling medicine. Seeing that the one-month deadline was coming, one million taels of silver had to be returned to the emperor in full. This was not a small sum. Of course, for Ning Wan, this was a big deal.
Not much difficulty.
"Junior sister, how do you know that a place like the east of Shu and the west of Shu will need the poison we refined?"
Qi Zhen now admired Ning Wan so much that in just half a month, all the elixirs and patent medicines refined with poisons were sold out.
Not only had the principal of one million taels been recovered long ago, but the profit now exceeded five hundred thousand taels, Qi Zhen was frightened.
"Senior brother, I don't know. Places like the east of Shu and the west of Shu are humid, rainy, and full of poisons! The more poisons there are, the more the elixirs we refine are needed. In addition to detoxifying, they can also be used in emergencies.
It can fight poison with poison, and anyone who knows a little bit about medicine will buy some and put them on themselves for self-defense!"
On the contrary, people who do not know medical skills have little interest in these poisons. In addition, these things are rare and expensive, which gave Ning Wan an opportunity to make money.
"I didn't expect that you girl is so well-informed. Now this medicine is almost sold. Shouldn't you also have an explanation for the emperor?"
Ning Wan shook his head and said: "No rush, no rush, senior brother, don't worry, I have my own opinion on this matter, but I have to trouble senior brother to keep this matter a secret for a few days!"
Qi Zhen nodded, seeing Ning Wan earning a lot of money in such a calm voice, he really admired her.
"Miss, there is a message from the palace, saying that a palace banquet will be held to celebrate the alliance between Dayan and Yaowang Valley!"
"Form an alliance with Yaowang Valley? This Yaowang Valley has become a defeated general in the hands of the prince. At most, it is a surrender. How come it suddenly changes and becomes an alliance?" Ning Wan felt strange.
Zisu told Ning Wan all the information she had learned.
"What the young lady doesn't know is that the eldest lady of Yaowang Valley, Mingjing, presented a treasure to the emperor, and that's how she got the emperor's so-called promise! Yaowang Valley will surrender to the Great Yan royal family in the future. Not only that, Yaowang Valley also established a
We have made a covenant and will send a yearly tribute to Dayan every year, 400,000 taels of silver each year, and medicinal materials worth 300,000 taels of silver!"
As expected, what the emperor valued most was his treasury, and he completely ignored the ambitions of the Medicine King Valley.
"Where is that Yun Niang? Is she still in Yaowang Valley?"
Zi Su nodded and said: "Yun Niang is about to give birth and she is hiding. There are secret passages everywhere in the Medicine King Valley. It may be difficult to find her!"
"This woman is very smart, otherwise she wouldn't have gone through so much and still be alive and well, and even turned the Yaowang Valley upside down."
Speaking of Yun Niang, Zi Su reminded Ning Wan: "But Miss, there are rumors outside that Yun Niang is a person close to the Regent. Miss, you still need to be vigilant!"
