Your Majesty, "Give it to him, to calm his nerves."
The prince was speechless, "My son thinks Lord Zhou was not frightened."
On the contrary, I feel that Lord Zhou’s cherishing of life is no less than that of my father.
The emperor was in a very good mood. "Then give it to him. These banknotes are his. However, don't waste the poisoned banknotes. You know what to do."
The prince smiled, "Yes, son, I understand."
Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren asked Jinyan, "You said the banknotes were poisoned?"
Jin Yan said, "Yes, it will happen after three months. The person will be in a coma at first, and will die silently after half a month. No problem can be found. This medicine is a secret medicine."
Zhou Shuren stroked his beard and said, "Secret medicine, this officer really deserves the money!"
He felt scared again. If he didn't know that Gu Ren was a member of the Zhang family and that the Zhang family had a hatred towards him, he might have been tricked. Moreover, he would have given the banknotes to his wife, and his wife would have been tricked too!
Zhou Shuren was stunned. "If I hadn't been careful, I would have been poisoned by now."
Jin Yan said: "Sir, even if you are poisoned, it can be cured."
Zhou Shuren hummed, "Can it be cured? Didn't you say secret medicine?"
Can the secret medicine be easily removed
Jinyan looked at Qingfeng on the side, and Qingfeng explained: "Some secret medicines have been researched, and this one has an antidote."
He just heard from his superior that many of the secret medicines sent by the emperor had been unlocked, and this chronic poison was among them, so he felt that Lord Zhou was really lucky and was not afraid whether he was poisoned or not.
Zhou Shuren blinked his eyes and thought to himself, this is the advantage of having the emperor's people around, he can also hear some of the unimportant secrets, "Then I feel relieved."
Then he turned his attention to a stack of banknotes, "Are these banknotes in good condition?"
Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, the banknote with problems is useful, so I replaced it with a banknote without problems for you, sir. Please rest assured, sir."
Zhou Shuren happily accepted the banknote and asked casually, "Are there many of these poisons?"
Qingfeng really didn't know, and thought: "It shouldn't be much. Secret medicine is not easy to prepare. Even if the prescription is restored, some medicines are hard to find."
Zhou Shuren felt relieved. He thought that if the secret medicine was easy to prepare, it would not be a secret medicine.
At the Rong Marquis' Mansion, Rong Enqing looked at the box that was sent over. In the box was a silver note of 100,000 taels. The Zhang family really wished that Lord Zhou would die. Lord Zhou had asked for such a huge sum today that Gu Ren could not bear it any longer.
The butler came in, "My Lord, Gu Ren is here."
"please come in."
Gu Ren was in a good mood. He saw Zhou Shuren's caution this morning, so he changed the box on purpose. So what if Zhou Shuren didn't take it? He definitely didn't expect there was something wrong with the banknote. He didn't have a chance to kill Zhou Shuren before, and it would be troublesome to implicate Zhou Shuren now. However, he was willing to kill Zhou Shuren silently. Wasn't this opportunity given by Zhou Shuren
Gu Ren felt relieved when he thought about getting rid of Zhou Shuren. "Does the Marquis have anything to ask me?"
Rong Enqing pushed the box to Gu Ren and said, "I saw you looked troubled this morning. Here is 100,000 taels. I will lend it to you for emergency."
Gu Ren was a little stunned. Rong Enqing wanted to lend him money
Rong Enqing continued, "I wanted to lend you more, but as you know, I also have a caravan. All the money I had before was given to the caravan, so I don't have much left now."
Gu Ren took the box and didn't hesitate. He really needed the money. He was cheated by Zhou Shuren this time and he was short of money. "Thank you, Lord Marquis. I will pay you back double in the future."
Rong Enqing lowered his voice and said, "If you really want to repay me, bring more ointment. The emperor has been in a bad mood recently and now he doesn't even attend the morning court. You should think of a way."
Gu Ren counted the days. The emperor was old, and the amount of medicine he used at the beginning was large, which naturally accelerated the decline of his body. If the caravan had not been detained in Pinggang this time, the arrangements would have been basically completed. However, it would have to be done quickly. He was afraid that the emperor would not be able to survive. "Okay, I will give it to you as soon as possible."
Rong Enqing glanced quickly at the box, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. This thing only takes three months to take effect. The prince now asked him to give it to Gu Ren, which means that it should be over in three months!
At Zhou's house, Zhulan looked at the little girl next to Tao, "Who is this little girl?"
Tao touched the little girl's hair and said, "This girl is my niece's granddaughter. She came to Beijing with her father and now stays with me for a few days."
Zhulan, "What's her name?"
Tao smiled and said, "Taoran, you are six years old this year."
Zhulan nodded. The Tao family left Beijing that year, and Tao did not leave any children behind. Time can blur many things, but it can also make the weakened family ties stronger. Obviously, Tao still wanted to help her mother's family, otherwise she would not have kept the little girl and brought her to her.
Zhulan motioned to Mrs. Song, who went out for a while and came back soon. Zhulan held the jewelry in her hand and said, "This is newly customized jewelry. I picked out a few pieces for Tao Ran."
Tao pushed Tao Ran. The little girl was a little timid. Seeing the grandmother in front of her smiling and friendly, she stepped forward and said, "Thank you, Grandma Yang."
The little girl spoke softly, and Zhulan smiled, "Our girl has never spoken so softly."
Mrs. Tao sighed, "You also know about my family. Life has changed since I left Beijing. The gap is huge, and my child's education has become a problem."
Otherwise, she really didn't want to take care of her natal family, but there was nothing she could do because it was the same surname as her natal family after all.
The little girl Yudie, wearing a red dress and holding a windmill in her hand, ran in hurriedly, "Grandma, grandma, I made the windmill."
When Zhulan saw Yudie's face, she smiled even more. She wiped her granddaughter's sweat with a handkerchief and said, "You are never honest. Which little girl is like you?"
Yudie was a child who was spoiled when she grew up. She smiled and said, "Grandma, look at the windmill that your granddaughter made for you."
Zhulan then noticed the windmill, which was very beautifully made. "Oh, my Yudie is a very clever girl."
The little girl was very proud and raised her head proudly, "My granddaughter can be a better one, but my mother doesn't give me gems. She is very stingy."
Zhulan tapped the little girl's forehead. The second branch of the family was the second richest in the family. The second branch's overseas businesses brought in a lot of money every year. The little girl was raised in pampered style and had a lot of good things in her hands. She had seen so many gems that she didn't think they were so precious.
Zhulan pulled Yudie and said, "Your grandmother Tao is here, why don't you call anyone?"
Yudie then noticed that there were outsiders in the room, and hurried out of her grandmother's arms. The little girl was very well-educated, and her greetings were very standard. "Yudie greets Grandma Tao, and greets Miss."
Tao smiled, "Okay, okay."
Then he said to Zhulan, "Your Jade Butterfly is getting more and more beautiful."
Zhulan knew that it was just a polite remark. Yudie could barely be considered pretty, but the most attractive thing about her was her agility, which made people unable to take their eyes off her.
