The princess has no moral principles, why did you provoke her?
Chapter 69 The Fall of the Palace
Jingxinyuan of Zhennan Palace
The old princess sat on the couch, eating freshly peeled walnuts.
Nanny Jiang rushed in and said, "Master, something terrible has happened. The palace's large storehouse has been robbed, and the princess's small storehouse has also been robbed."
The old princess glanced at her coldly. "Just this little thing, is it worth you getting so flustered and losing your composure? What did they lose?"
She didn't take it seriously, as if losing a few things was normal, and picked up a walnut kernel and put it in her mouth.
Nanny Jiang uttered another devastating remark: "Everything in the warehouse has disappeared!"
The old princess had no time to chew the walnut kernel before it got stuck in her throat when she inhaled.
She pinched her neck with one hand, her face flushed red, and she couldn't say a word.
When Mrs. Xu saw this, she was terrified.
She suddenly remembered a time when she accompanied the old princess to a banquet in the palace. The Seventh Prince got something stuck in his mouth while eating, and a maid made a gesture, causing the Seventh Prince to spit out the food in his mouth.
She also imitated the old woman's actions, hugged the old princess' waist from behind, and pressed her hands above her abdomen. With her continuous efforts, the old princess spit out the walnut kernel.
The old princess took a few breaths and said intermittently: "It almost cost me my life. Everyone, please leave. I will never eat this again."
After a while, she breathed more easily and asked, "You said the palace's storehouse was robbed and all the things were gone?"
"Yes, I heard the news when I went to the kitchen just now." Nanny Jiang replied.
The old princess looked worried: "Let's go and see if the things in our warehouse are still there!"
Nanny Jiang supported her and came to the door of the warehouse.
The old princess took out the key with trembling hands and carefully opened the door of the warehouse. She was a little afraid to look inside.
"Master, our things are all here." Nanny Jiang shouted excitedly.
"I was so scared!" The old princess finally felt relieved.
At the same time, murderous intent flashed in her eyes, "The Great Treasury is the wealth accumulated by generations of princes, how could it all be stolen overnight?"
Matron Jiang was also puzzled. "That's right, I can't figure it out either. Could it be that the thief was a master thief, with a treasure bag, and once he used magic, all the items disappeared?"
"Perhaps they really do have some unorthodox magic. Ever since that evil creature came back, there has been no peace in this mansion.
Now all the money is gone, and so is the War King, why don't you take this disaster star away?"
"I guess King Zhan is also afraid of being defeated." said Nanny Jiang.
The old princess changed the subject: "I asked you to send someone to the farm to give some silver to Second Auntie. Has the person returned?"
Nanny Jiang began to stammer, "I'm back, Second Aunt..."
"Tell me, what happened to Second Aunt?"
"My Lord, the people we sent said that Second Aunt has never been to the farm.
I went to look for the driver who had taken her there, but he had disappeared since he left the palace and had never returned.
The old princess' lips trembled, her chest felt like it was on fire with rage, and her eyes flashed with cold light: "You are so cruel! You still didn't let Xiao go. Even the coachman suffered as a result. In the end, you killed her!"
Nanny Jiang knew that the old princess suspected that Prince Zhennan was behind it.
She advised: "Master, you have to be more open-minded. After all, the prince is your son. You can't let the matter of the second concubine hurt the harmony between you and your son.
As her aunt, you have done your utmost to be kind to her."
The old princess gazed silently, a dark sadness flowing through her eyes. She sighed, "It's fine if we just know about this. There's no need to let Xinran and Xintong know."
"Yes, I understand. Now that the palace has become an empty shell, what should we do?"
The old princess remained calm: "They gave birth to that disaster star, so they can only suffer the consequences themselves, we can't do anything about it.
When the palace is truly unable to function, we can use our family assets to deal with the emergency."
Madam Jiang smiled: "This old servant knows that the master is kind-hearted and will not ignore it."
Nanny Jiang did not dare to tell the old princess about Prince Zhennan's illness, fearing that she was too old to bear it.
…………
Ye Qingyan's business plan is to radiate from the capital to the surrounding areas.
After breakfast, she called Feng Yi, Feng Jiu, and Hua Ling'er to her and arranged tasks like a manager: "Today, we need to buy a store and open a clinic. There are three streets here, so we should act separately.
I'll go to the main street, Feng Yi will go to South Street, and Feng Jiu and Hua Ling'er will go to North Street. If you find a suitable shop, negotiate the price with the owner first, and then come back to me."
Hua Ling'er was very happy that she could finally do something for Qingyan.
Feng Yi strolled along South Street, looking around for business opportunities.
She walked from beginning to end but couldn't find a shop selling it. She had no choice but to jump and go to Prince Zhan's Mansion.
An Yi saw Feng Yi coming outside the study and asked in surprise, "Feng Yi, aren't you with Xiao Qi, the divine fortune teller of the Qingyang Sect? When did you come to the capital?"
"Just arrived, where's the master?"
"In the study, come with me."
An Yi brought Feng Yi to the study. Feng Yi clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have something I can't help you with. Please help me."
Leng Jiuyuan put down the sword in his hand and looked up at her: "What's the matter?"
“Our Master Xiaoqi came to the capital yesterday to buy a shop and open a clinic.
I was responsible for looking for it on South Street, but after searching for a long time, there was no shop selling it.
I cannot bear to see Master Xiaoqi suffer, so I have come to ask for your help."
Leng Jiuyuan thought for a moment and said in a cold voice: "An Yi, transfer the second floor of Ankang Pharmacy to the name of Shen Suan Xiao Qi. As for the silver, it should be lower than the market price.
Manager Zhou is in charge there, explain it to him clearly."
"Thank you, master!" Feng Yi clasped his fists again happily.
An Yi glanced at her and frowned: "Which group are you from? Why do I feel like I trained you and now you've become a traitor?"
Feng glanced at him and said, "You are so stupid!"
After saying that, he happily went to Ankang Pharmacy.
After An Yi and Shopkeeper Zhou agreed, Feng Yi went to find Ye Qingyan.
Ye Qingyan was a little tired from strolling and walked very slowly.
At this time, Feng Yi appeared in front of her, with a look of joy on his face: "Master, I found a medicine shop for sale. The owner is leaving Beijing and is in a hurry to sell it."
Ye Qingyan said happily: "If we take over the medicine shop, we can use it. Let's go!"
Arriving at the Ankang Pharmacy, Feng Yi introduced: "Master, this is Shopkeeper Zhou, who has been working in this shop for more than ten years. Shopkeeper Zhou, this is our master."
Shopkeeper Zhou was also a straightforward person: "My dear, our boss is leaving the capital, so he is anxious to sell this shop.
The price is six thousand taels for two floors, including the medicinal materials in the warehouse and everything in the shop."
Ye Qingyan said in a clear voice: "I'll first check the herbs in the warehouse and then the backyard and upstairs."
"Please follow me."
Ye Qingyan followed him to the medicine storehouse, and she was delighted: there were many precious medicinal herbs here, and all the herbs were genuine.
She roughly calculated that after deducting the money for the medicinal materials, the actual cost of buying the shop was only more than three thousand taels. She felt like a huge ingot fell from the sky and hit her head directly.
She immediately made the decision, took out six thousand taels of silver and handed it to Manager Zhou.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Zhou was calm and composed, Ye Qingyan asked, "Shopkeeper Zhou, now that the shop has been sold, where are you going?"
Shopkeeper Zhou was in a low mood and said in a low voice: "I have to support my family, so I have to find another job."
"How much do you earn a month?"
"Ten taels of silver."
Ye Qingyan thought that since she had just arrived in the capital, she had no one available. Shopkeeper Zhou was very familiar with the place, so she asked, "Shopkeeper Zhou, if you are willing, you can continue to help me look after the store and be the shopkeeper.
I will give you 20 taels of silver every month, and if you do a good job, you will get a bonus in the end of the year."
Shopkeeper Zhou's face lit up with joy: "Is what you said true? Can I still stay?"
Ye Qingyan nodded and said, "If the former waiters and doctors here want to stay, they can."
Shopkeeper Zhou was very happy: "That's great, thank you."
Ye Qingyan smiled, looked around, and said, "The sign of this shop has been changed to Baicaotang."
There is a sign in front of the door saying that the ghost doctor will see patients on the first and fifteenth of every month.
There is a plaque hanging on the second floor: The Divine Calculator Xiaoqi is here.
I'll close this place for now. I'll give you a blueprint tomorrow and you can renovate it according to it."
Shopkeeper Zhou was stunned. He had heard of the name of the divine fortune teller Xiao Qi, but knew nothing about the ghost doctor.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of her was the divine fortune teller Xiao Qi. She began to look at Ye Qingyan with new eyes.
Feng Yi and Shopkeeper Zhou went to the government office to handle the transfer procedures, while Ye Qingyan waited in the shop...
Ye Qingyan's purchase of a shop went smoothly, but Ye Ziyan went out without checking the date and was about to run into her nemesis, Hua Ling'er...
