From Concubine Shu's point of view, as a eunuch, Lin Yiqiu did not have a high salary even if he was the governor of Xichang.
Moreover, he heard that Emperor Qian was extremely strict on corruption. As a trusted eunuch, it was impossible for him to have any spare money.
So these kinds of medicinal materials are really priceless, you really can’t afford them!
And if added up, it even exceeds ten thousand taels!
"Empress, you'd better write first!"
Lin Yiqiu smiled playfully.
Concubine Shu didn't know what he was planning, so she could only say coldly: "I don't have money, I can't lend it to you. As a concubine in the palace, you can't have too much private wealth!"
This is the rule in the palace, except that Queen Pei broke this rule before with the help of Pei Tianlin's power.
As for other concubines, they all abide by their duties.
But Lin Yiqiu still didn't care and asked Concubine Shu to write it down.
Later, when Concubine Shu finished writing, he took advantage of the dark night and the wind to sneak out of the imperial city.
It was just getting dark at this time and the streets were still very lively.
Lin Yiqiu didn't spend long. After buying things at the pharmacy, he slipped back the same way. It only took half an hour in total.
When Concubine Shu saw him piling the medicinal materials on the table, she was shocked.
Pointing her jade finger at Lin Yiqiu, Concubine Shu said something that made people laugh!
"You eunuch! You are indeed a sycophant who is corrupt and perverts the law!"
"Hey! My dear! You have misunderstood me! I will neither rob nor steal! I earned all this money myself!"
Lin Yiqiu shrugged.
How could Concubine Shu believe it?
"Earn it? How can you, a eunuch, still do business? Your Majesty doesn't care about you?"
"To tell you the truth, His Majesty treats me just like a family member. Not to mention how good our relationship is!"
Anyway, Emperor Qian is no longer around, so Lin Yiqiu just talks about it.
Upon hearing this, Concubine Shu sneered: "I don't know, I thought your Majesty was a woman and fell in love with you!"
boom!
Lin Yiqiu's body trembled imperceptibly, and then he laughed out loud: "Haha, that's not the case, please don't misunderstand me!"
Good guy! This Concubine Shu is really easy to scare people!
Although she knew that the other party was just joking, she directly told her biggest secret.
Fortunately, Concubine Shu was not a harem concubine of the Qian Kingdom, otherwise if Emperor Qian knew this, he would probably chop off Lin Yiqiu's head on the spot!
Reason: Revealing the core secrets of the Qian Kingdom!
In the next few days, Concubine Shu prepared the medicine for Lin Yiqiu seriously!
During this period, Lin Yiqiu naturally would not stay in the palace all the time, but would return to the mansion to rest.
When he saw that Xia Lingfeng had almost recovered, Lin Yiqiu finally let go of his worries!
While taking a walk in the yard and feeding the fish, Cang Hong anxiously walked in from the door.
"What's wrong? You don't look right!"
When Cang Hong saw that it was Lin Yiqiu, he didn't hide it and immediately said, "A very strange thing happened. I was just about to tell you."
"Something strange? Tell me."
Lin Yiqiu put his arm around Cang Hong's shoulders and walked towards the pavilion in front of him.
Cang Hong did not resist, and said as he walked: "It was Chen Mohan, the foreign affairs department, who told me that our Qian Kingdom seems to have sent someone to take us back!"
"Huh? Take us back"
After Lin Yiqiu sat down, his expression was slightly stunned.
"But I never wrote a letter to His Majesty, asking him to send someone. Could it be false news?"
He was very suspicious because before he came, Emperor Qian had told him to do things cheaply.
That is to say, you need to decide the time to go back based on your own needs. Because Lin Yiqiu came to Wu State this time to investigate the case, so the time will definitely not be short.
Hearing this, Cang Hong shook his head.
"It's not false news. Chen Mohan has received the letter from the envoy who came to pick us up this time! It does have His Majesty's seal on it!"
While talking, Cang Hong took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Lin Yiqiu.
The latter took it and opened it to check a few times.
There are not too many sentences in the letter, only very simple words.
"Before the end of this month, quickly bring Lin Yiqiu and others back to the country, and make sure they are safe! At the same time, I would like to say hello to Emperor Wu!"
The characters are those of Emperor Qian, and the seal is also the seal of Emperor Qian. That’s absolutely right!
As a close confidant next to Emperor Qian, Lin Yiqiu still has some judgment!
But this is also the strange part! Why is His Majesty so eager?
There are less than five days until the end of this month, which means that Lin Yiqiu will leave within three days.
"What do you think? I suspect something may have happened to Qian Guo!"
Cang Hong asked and gave his own speculation.
Lin Yiqiu was silent for a long time and shook his head.
"I don't understand the reason for this, but could it be because the people from the Holy Fire Cult have appeared in Qian Country again?"
"You mean Pei Tianlin?"
Cang Hong looked surprised!
Lin Yiqiu nodded quickly.
"This old guy is so evil that he will never let go of the opportunity to go against us!"
"If it were him, it would be reasonable for His Majesty to ask me to go back immediately to solve this problem. After all, we were the two responsible before!"
Speaking of this, Lin Yiqiu's face became solemn.
In fact, he has another thing to worry about, and that is the safety of Wei Wanqiu and others!
With Pei Tianlin's ability, it is not difficult to find out the woman who is related to Lin Yiqiu.
What if this old guy attacks his women out of revenge?
Mu Xinrou, Xiao Meiniang and the like are fine. They are in the palace and don't have to worry.
But Wei Wanqiu is different! She has no one to protect her in the capital! She can easily attract poisonous hands!
Thinking of this, Lin Yiqiu became very impatient!
"When will the people who come to pick us up arrive?"
He asked a question.
Cang Hong didn't think much about it.
"Chen Mohan said that he will arrive early the day after tomorrow. At that time, the envoy will meet with Emperor Wu first, and then send someone to inform us."
"It's strange, it's really strange."
Lin Yiqiu frowned.
Cang Hong didn't quite understand.
"What's wrong? What problem did you find?"
"First point, why was this letter sent to Chen Mohan first?"
Lin Yiqiu analyzed it based on his intuition.
"If you are in a hurry to get us back, just use a secret edict. With our speed, we can leave tomorrow morning."
"But this letter was sent to the Foreign Affairs Department first, and then Chen Mohan informed us. Isn't this a pure waste of time?"
"That makes sense!"
Cang Hong nodded.
Lin Yiqiu continued to speak.
"The second doubt is, why did he want to meet Emperor Wu?"
"Is there a problem with this too?"
Cang Hong didn't quite understand.
Lin Yiqiu explained to him: "We are the real envoys, and he is here to pick us up, so according to etiquette, the status of the envoy who picks us up is below us!"
"If he wants to meet Emperor Wu, it should be me who represents the state of Qian. How can he be qualified to meet Emperor Wu?"
"Besides, even if he wants to have an audience, I should lead him, not him alone! This is too outrageous!" This chapter has been completed!
