After I was reborn, I became the white moonlight of the destitute son

Chapter 123

The palace, the imperial study.

The emperor sat on the top seat with a stern look, and the seventh prince plausibly stood below... begging for rewards.

"Father, there are still many places to use silver in the back of Yicheng. You don't even know that the birthday character you wrote casually on the old emperor's birthday can be exchanged for tens of thousands of silver, not to mention that it can be used to protect the town house. It's a gift.

Those objects in your storeroom are still on the shelf, you can give them all to my son.The son took it out and exchanged it for silver..."

Well, is this an endorsement for the Zhou family?To be sensible is to be sensible, but is it okay to say so?The emperor momentarily scratched the paperweight on the imperial case with itchy hands.

"Stinky boy, what is the use of my imperial gifts?"

The Seventh Prince saw that his father's hand touched the paperweight, and said repeatedly: "Father, don't throw it away, don't throw it away, the things used by Father's emperor are valuable, it would be a pity to break them..."

emperor:……

Am I hungry for this brat or cold for this brat?Those who open their mouths and keep their mouths shut only know about money, and this is not even the slightest dignity of a prince. He is simply a small peddler looking for a living in the market.

Seeing that the emperor's face became more and more ugly, the Seventh Prince said with an aggrieved face: "Then why don't you throw it more accurately, Father, into my son's arms, or throw that pen holder together, and those few Guan Yubi..."

"I want to expose you directly to the imperial case, do you want it?"

The Seventh Prince accepted it as soon as he saw it, and ran out while waving his hands. "Father, my son is stepping down first, and I will come back tomorrow to pay my respects to my father."

emperor:……

Don't come here!
"Your Majesty, only His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince dares to act like a baby with you..." Sun Neijian stepped forward to smooth things over with a smile.

The emperor laughed angrily at these words, pointed at Neijian Sun and scolded with a smile: "How can he be coquettish with me? This is clearly..." Wei Zhen threw him to the household department, and came to complain and avenge his grievances. That Zhou Xining endorsed.

Hmph, I'll let you stay at the household department.At least half a year.

"Forget it, you go to my warehouse and pick out some of the best things he likes and send them over. You can't let him work hard and still get nothing."

"Yes, I'll do it right now, old slave." Sun Neijian bowed and said, "The red coral that was paid as a tribute by the Dayue Kingdom on His Majesty's birthday last time, this old slave remembers that His Highness the Seventh Highness seemed to be around for a long time... ..."

The emperor said without raising his eyelids, "Give it to him."

"Forget it, let him go to the warehouse to pick it himself."

"Yes." Neijian Sun finally got his wish and stepped back, his steps were much lighter than before.

Let him choose the object that the Seventh Prince likes, how would he know what the Seventh Prince likes?If he chooses poorly and chooses well, how can he, a slave of the imperial servant, bear the responsibility.

It's better to let the Seventh Prince choose by himself.

Wangjiang Tower, Preface to Orchid Pavilion.

As soon as the door opened, Zhou Xining saw the sad face of the Seventh Prince Chu Yuchen, and his heart skipped a beat.

She knew that He Beiting's three-day letter only reported good news but not bad news.

"His Highness is so anxious to call the courtier's daughter over, but there is something new in Yicheng?"

Chu Yuchen nodded solemnly, "Although Huaiyuan bought up all the available medicinal materials encountered along the way, and invited away all the slightly famous doctors from the places he passed along the way, it was still not enough.

The number of patients in Yicheng increased rapidly, and thousands of people were infected almost overnight. By the time the report was issued the day before yesterday, the number of people infected had exceeded 3000.

According to the report, the medicinal materials brought over are only enough for three days at most.But I guess, I'm afraid it won't last three days..."

Zhou Shining stood up: "So, even if He Beiting brought the medicine there, Yicheng is still short of medicine and medicine, right?"

Chu Yuchen nodded sadly.

Zhou Xining pressed the table with his slender hands, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Your Highness, how is your contact? How many medicinal materials can you trade? There is still enough food..."

Chu Yuchen shook his head, "There is enough food, but there are not many suitable medicinal materials...

Our Xuan country is rich in products, but it does not produce medicinal materials.However, Dayue and Wunan, which are rich in medicinal materials, are not easy to get along with. The father personally wrote the letter of credence, and they just refused to sell medicine.The officials sent to buy the medicines only came into contact with small merchants and hawkers in private, and they couldn't buy bulk medicinal materials at all.

They learned that we had an epidemic and were in urgent need of medicinal materials, so if they killed us, we would exchange it with Lincheng..."

When he said this, Chu Yuchen gritted his teeth angrily.

Lincheng is the most important border town in the southern border. If there is no barrier in Lincheng, Dayue and Wunan will have no obstacles when they want to invade Xuanguo. As long as they have enough horsepower, they will be able to enter Xuancheng within five days. .

Not to mention just a few thousand people in Yicheng, even tens of thousands, it is impossible to exchange Lincheng for medicinal materials.

Zhou Xining glanced at the Seventh Prince who was full of anger, his heart changed, and Xuan Guo might not be able to blackmail him.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Xining said: "His Royal Highness, since the officials can't buy it, it doesn't mean that the merchants can't buy it either. The medicinal materials bought from Wunan will take ten days to come back at the earliest, and Dayue will still have to talk about it." It will take seven or eight days...

Waiting to send it over, no, the time has been delayed for too long, Yicheng can't wait. "

While murmuring, Zhou Xining calculated the distance in his mind, how to send the medicinal materials to Yicheng as quickly as possible.

"You wait first, and it doesn't matter whether it's ten days or seven days, the problem is..." Chu Yuchen suddenly stood up excitedly in the middle of speaking.

"You mean..." Chu Yuchen's lips trembled a little. Zhou Xining actually bought a large amount of medicinal materials that he couldn't even get his father's letter of credence?

"Well. As early as when he received the first report from Yicheng, He Beiting arranged for people to pretend to be caravans and go to Wunan and Dayue respectively to buy medicinal materials. When he left Beijing, this stall was handed over to me. superior."

"Great!" The Seventh Prince slapped the table, rubbing his hands excitedly and walking back and forth.

Then he went back to the table and sat down again, looked at Zhou Xining and said, "You were still full of ideas just now, but is there a way to shorten the time?"

"Yeah." Zhou Shining said, "I sent a message that they don't have to go back to Beijing, they will go straight to the west, and then I will take people to the middle area to meet them. After receiving the medicine, they will be sent directly to Yicheng, which can save almost two hours on the road. Up to three days..."

"Are you going to accept it? How do you accept it? You are a girl from the boudoir, you..." Chu Yuchen repeatedly objected. This is a good way, but it cannot be a girl like Zhou Xining.

"If I don't go, then who does His Highness think can go?" Zhou Xining sneered, "Who in this Manchu dynasty dares to touch the side of Yicheng? Your Highness don't want to say that the Zhang family can do it, but who will your Highness let the Zhang family go? Zhang Your Excellency cannot leave Beijing without authorization, and he will not leave without authorization. Mr. Zhang is not subject to this restriction, but can he do it? Dare him?"

"Your Highness don't want to say you go, don't say that a prince can't take risks lightly, even if the emperor agrees, the queen empress will tie His Highness to Fengyi Palace."

Chu Yuchen had no choice but to help his forehead, let alone, his mother could really do it.

It is said that the prince is extremely noble, but in the end, he is not even as good as Zhou Xining, a boudoir girl's family. She can at least walk away, but he... has too many constraints on him.

Everyone said that he had a good fate and was born to be the prince of Zhonggong, but he never felt it.
