A farmer's daughter travels through time, farming and dividing the family to fight for the best

The prime minister finally realized that he had said the wrong thing, but it was too late. Looking at the emperor's face which was becoming increasingly ugly, he took the initiative to admit his mistake.

"Your Majesty, I was anxious at the time and spoke without thinking. Please forgive me!"

Emperor Xuanyuan just looked at him coldly and said nothing.

"Also, the person who hurt Zhou Lingfei was the son of your housekeeper Cheng, and he did it on purpose and was extremely cruel. He wanted Lingfei's life." Li Xiaoxiao came here this time for these two things.

"What did you say? It's impossible. Why would Changfeng do this?" When Li Xiaoxiao said this, the prime minister immediately felt a chill down his spine.

He has always been at odds with the old man, the Lord Censor. If this is true, he will definitely think that it was his instigation, and then a lot of trouble will arise.

It’s not that I’m afraid of him, it’s just that he has many disciples and is not an easy person to deal with.

"There were many people present at the time. If the Prime Minister doesn't believe it, you can go back and ask your servants. I believe you will know the truth of the matter." The facts were before their eyes. Cheng Changfeng was indeed heading in that direction at the time, but he wanted to hurt Gu Feiyan, and Zhou Lingfei blocked the knife for Gu Feiyan.

No matter what, Zhou Lingfei was injured because of me, and I must get an explanation from her.

"Of course. If it was really Changfeng who did it, I will force him to apologize to Miss Zhou." After what happened just now, the Prime Minister was much more cautious this time.

"If there weren't famous doctors in my house, Ling Fei would have died by now. Are you going to let the matter go just by asking for forgiveness?" Li Xiaoxiao continued to pester.

"Then what do you want?" The prime minister tried his best to suppress his emotions, and his voice was squeezed out from between his teeth.

"I don't want to do anything. The doctor said that Ling Fei was seriously injured and needs a lot of ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to take care of her. So the Prime Minister might have to spend a lot of money." Li Xiaoxiao didn't care how angry he was, as long as she achieved her goal.

The Prime Minister heaved a sigh of relief. It was just a few ginsengs. He could afford the compensation. He was indeed a country bumpkin who had never seen the world. "I'll have someone send it to her when I get back. I happen to have a few old ginsengs in my house. When there are more, I'll save them for next time."

"You won't need to do that next time. The Prime Minister just needs to give it to me this time. The doctor said that Ling Fei's medicine should contain a hundred-year-old ginseng and two thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum every morning, noon and night, and should be taken continuously for a month."

"Then, in the second month, take one hundred-year-old ginseng and one or two thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum every day. Only in this way can Ling Fei get better as soon as possible."

"If you want to remove the scars on your body, you have to go to that extremely cold place and get the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Only then can the scars disappear without a trace. She is a woman. If she has an ugly scar on her body, she will be very sad." Li Xiaoxiao naturally understood the sarcasm in his words and simply disdained to pay attention to him.

You have money, so I'll give you a chance to show it.

The Prime Minister was stunned. This was not taking medicine, but eating ginseng as a meal. Not to mention him, even Emperor Xuanyuan was a little surprised when he heard it.

Li Xiaoxiao is really a greedy person. He is not willing to give in and wants to make a huge profit from him.

"Li Xiaoxiao, don't go too far." This is the imperial study and in front of the emperor. The prime minister didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore. He could only glare at her fiercely.

"Didn't the Prime Minister say that there was ginseng? That was said by the doctor, not by me. How about the Prime Minister come with me to the Si Mansion to take a look?" Li Xiaoxiao was not afraid of him. As for going to the Si Mansion, how could he, the Prime Minister, go with her? It was just a casual remark.

He had just promised to give her ginseng. If he went back on his word now, wouldn't he be very embarrassed? However, a hundred-year-old ginseng costs hundreds of taels of silver.

Three pills a day would cost three hundred taels, nine thousand taels a month, and another three thousand taels the second month. In total, the ginseng alone would cost twelve thousand taels of silver.

This doesn't even include the Ganoderma lucidum. There's also this snow lotus she mentioned. She's not asking for money, she's asking for his life, right?

"I have been an official for decades and I am honest and upright. How can I give you so much money? Don't even think about it."

"Are you trying to shirk your debt, Prime Minister? Your Prime Minister's Mansion is one of the best in the entire capital, both in terms of land area and buildings. Ling Fei was injured because of the talents of your Prime Minister's Mansion, so you must keep an eye on her."

"How could I possibly refuse to pay? It's just that you ask for too much. I'm sorry, I don't have that much silver to give you." The prime minister snorted coldly and said unhappily. Is he being taken advantage of?

"Okay, both of you stop arguing. The Prime Minister's Office was at fault in this matter. The Prime Minister will give Zhou Lingfei ten ginsengs and three thousand taels of silver as compensation. This matter is settled." Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand and made the final decision.

Li Xiaoxiao's lips curled up, she was very satisfied with the result. After all, this kind of thing requires bargaining. No matter how much she wants, the prime minister will definitely lower it.

It would be better to just ask for more. Ten hundred-year-old ginsengs would cost one thousand taels of silver, plus three thousand taels, a total of four thousand taels, which was far beyond her budget.

"I would like to thank Your Majesty on behalf of Ling Fei. Your Majesty, I have one more thing to ask you." This was the bad thing about the ancient times. People were required to kneel down at every turn. Li Xiao was unwilling to do so a thousand times, but she had no choice but to kneel.

"Speak." Emperor Xuanyuan waved his hand.

"I beg the emperor to withdraw the imperial decree granting me marriage. Today's incident has caused an uproar in the city, and my reputation has been ruined. There is really no way for me to marry into the Prime Minister's Mansion again." Li Xiaoxiao's words were reasonable and sincere.

"No, I don't agree." Without waiting for Emperor Xuanyuan to speak, the Prime Minister directly refused. If the imperial edict was really withdrawn, wouldn't that be a slap in his face?

Everyone in the city knew that Li Xiaoxiao had married his son. If the imperial edict was really withdrawn, the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would become a laughing stock in the capital.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I know you are in a high position and have great power, but even so, you should not indulge your son. Cheng Kun did not go to greet me today, which is a disguised form of disobeying the imperial order. If this imperial decree is not withdrawn, how should he be punished?"

Li Xiaoxiao did the opposite, and acted as if she was thinking about him. After she said this, the prime minister was speechless.
