After taking bitter medicine and receiving acupuncture for almost ten days, Zhou Chang's throat finally improved.

I could barely speak, but my voice was hoarse. I couldn't speak loudly or talk too much, otherwise my throat would feel torn and painful.

Zhou Chang suspected that Shen Rui's voice might be damaged.

In this way, the three words "Bai Ling Ge" seem particularly heartbreaking.

Before she did anything, she had already experienced a palace fight, and she was the losing side.

Since that day, the emperor came to visit the patient once, and no one has cared about him since then.

What is even more heartbreaking is that during the days when she was confined to her house to recuperate, there was a constant flow of news from the outside world.

Shen Rui and Hong Zhi, the master and servant pair, are natural Batman and Robin. Shen Rui's voice prevents him from speaking but that doesn't affect his hearing.

Hongzhi has always had the ability to find out things. She has been aware of all the news inside and outside the palace these days. She told Zhou Chang everything she could find out, just to entertain her young lady.

Yesterday, Zhou Chang learned from Hongzhi that the emperor had issued a formal decree that the Minister of Revenue Minhang was guilty of treason and collusion with the enemy, and his entire family would be confiscated and executed. The execution had already been carried out. As for the other accomplices involved in the case, they would all be severely sentenced to death and executed in the autumn.

It is now early April, which means that in less than half a year, Yuan Yu will be beheaded.

I don’t know if Yuan Qi will faint again when she hears this news. I hope she can hold on.

After all, they were all just worried about this case, but they didn't find anyone who could really get the job done, let alone come up with an effective solution.

"My queen, it's time to take your medicine." Aunt Zhu brought in the medicine.

Zhou Chang waved her hands casually. The sound of her voice now sounded like a crow, which she herself didn't like to hear, so she tried not to speak if possible.

Aunt Zhu wanted to say something but stopped herself. Finally, she exchanged glances with Hongzhi and retreated.

Hongzhi picked up the medicine and held it in front of Zhou Chang: "Miss, although this medicine takes a long time to take effect, it is still effective. You should keep drinking it."

When there is no one around, both the master and the servant are still accustomed to addressing each other as they do at the mother's home.

Zhou Chang suspected that the medicine was useless. Instead, she insisted on drinking Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs, Honey and Pear Water to moisten her throat all day, which might be more effective.

Hongzhi advised again: "Miss, you have to get well soon. Tomorrow is the Qing Festival. I heard that all the palaces are preparing sacrificial clothes, but no one in Bailing Pavilion has informed us."

"I'm currently recuperating from illness, so there's nothing for me to attend in the sacrifice. If I go, won't I just kowtow to the tablet? Ahem..." It wouldn't have been a problem if Zhou Chang spoke in a lower voice, but he was still coughing.

Hongzhi's personality was similar to Shen Rui's. Besides being curious, she was also unwilling to lag behind. "The young lady has a sore throat, but she is not seriously injured. You don't need to speak during the sacrifice. You can just pray silently in your heart. The day before yesterday, Aunt Zhu went to report to Concubine Yi that the young lady is much better. But Concubine Yi just told her to rest assured and take care of herself. How long will it take?"

"No hurry." Zhou Chang was really not in a hurry now.

In the first three days after her throat was damaged, she was in a hurry, anxious for her throat to heal quickly so that she could find a chance to see the emperor again. But in the following days, after calming down and thinking carefully, she lost hope.

So what if I met the emperor?

Her current identity is her idealization.

As a person of low status, his words had little influence and he offended others without realizing it. Before he could even finish his words, his voice was silenced by them.

Even if I find an opportunity to talk later, what good will it do?

What position does she take to speak and what will others think?

Will he take advantage of the situation and instead of saving the Yuan family, implicate Shen Rui as well?

If this is the case, it would be better to find a way to change to a higher status.

Therefore, in the past two days, she has been "live streaming and selling goods" in Bailing Pavilion, transmitting them without leaving any trace, and also made a little money.

A little is just a drop in the bucket.

Hongzhi was still extremely anxious, so she simply scooped a spoonful of medicine and put it to Zhou Chang's mouth: "Miss, you are not anxious, but how can those people in Bailing Pavilion not be anxious? Hongzhi and Miss are in the same boat, so we can do anything, but those people are flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Who knows what they will think if time goes on."

"Ahem, did you hear what they said behind her back again?" Zhou Chang didn't even have to think about it. Her throat had been damaged in the past few days, and her ears had become more sensitive. She didn't have to go far. She could just walk around in her own palace and hear some random things.

"Young lady needs to get well soon and regain the Holy Heart." Hongzhi's hands were shaking as she held the medicine, but she didn't answer directly. "It's fine for others, but Aunt Zhu has been privately urging me to persuade Young lady these past two days. Aunt Zhu has always been honest, and Young lady knows her."

Zhou Chang couldn't bear to hold Hongzhi up all the time, so he had to drink a spoonful of it: "You don't have to care what others say, ahem."

Hongzhi scooped another spoonful and sent it over: "Ever since the young lady's voice became weak, His Majesty has summoned Concubine Xin to accompany him these days. I heard that Concubine Xin has put in a lot of effort in private and spent money to get interesting stories from the eunuchs who can leave the palace."

When Concubine Xin was mentioned, Zhou Chang finally got some energy. He took the bowl of medicine and drank it in three or two gulps.

She always suspected that the hoarseness of voice was not only Concubine Xin's idea but also her involvement.

"That's right, miss, have another candied fruit." Hongzhi gave her another candied fruit to relieve the bitterness.

After Zhou Chang ate two dried apricots as he was told, he still sent Hongzhi away.

"Show information. I want to see the 'Nine Classes' ranking." Zhou Chang's poor voice did not stop him from talking to the view system in his mind.

Viewpoint system display.

【Level: Middle 93】

【Commission: 7700 taels】

【Order: 146】

"Is this all the commission I earned in these few days?" Zhou Chang was too lazy to count on his fingers how much he had earned.

The viewpoint system already knew that she was "bad with numbers" and reported directly: "In the past few days, I have earned a total of 4,700 taels in commissions. The remaining 3,000 taels from last time were left over from the order for the golden statue at Dafu Temple."

Zhou Chang was not going to dwell on this: "Show the 'Nine Classes Ranking'."

The viewpoint system displayed the long "Nine-level viewpoint ranking list" in front of her.

This time, Zhou Chang started from the top and fixed his eyes directly on the third row.

[The upper nine three: the emperor, the royal family, the princes...]

"Conspicuous system, is there such a thing as 'loan' in your dimension?" Zhou Chang first laid the groundwork.

The palace is a huge repository of antiques, yes.

But it is almost impossible for her to casually "live broadcast and sell goods" without arousing any suspicion.

In order to avoid causing more unnecessary trouble, Zhou Chang had to be even more cautious than when he was outside the palace.

Originally, if Shen Rui's voice was not a problem, she could still "visit" various palaces these days and steal the goods on the order, or even find an excuse to make an exchange.

In the end, she even sold Shen Rui's underwear.

Even so, it is not enough to do anything, mainly because time waits for no one.

Originally, through Shen Rui's memory, Zhou Chang was already half familiar with the officialdom of Lin State. If he could be replaced by a high-ranking official, such as a Shangshu Ling of the second rank or a Minister of Justice of the third rank.

But this morning, Zhou Chang suddenly came to his senses and asked himself, what had sealed her ambition? Why did she have to start from the bottom up? Why couldn't she achieve it all in one go?

The viewpoint system has not yet been able to see Zhou Chang's plan, and can only read out the script: "Loans, by definition, refer to banks, credit cooperatives and other institutions lending money to units or individuals that need money. This can meet the society's need for additional funds for expanded reproduction and promote economic development. At the same time, banks can also obtain loan interest income and increase their own accumulation."

"Yes, conspicuous system, are you willing to be a banker for once?" Zhou Chang imitated the tone of the Big Red Wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood in his mind. "It's holiday time, let's buy a globe,

The world is so big,

Not only can you look at it, you can also turn around! ”
