Chapter 364 Sugar Daddy Relationship
Even though the Liu family tried their best to keep it a secret, Consort Jing still learned that Liu Shuning had been kidnapped by the Eldest Princess.
And they also knew that she had been subjected to rope torture.
She looked at Granny Sha beside her.
"You're saying that Liu Shuning suffered such severe internal injuries, if Ting'er really marries her, can she bear him children?"
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, there has never been a good woman who has been subjected to rope torture."
According to this old servant, Miss Liu is probably impotent in that area…
It wasn't that no one in the palace hadn't suffered this torture before; Granny Sha certainly knew how severe this rope torture was.
Upon hearing what Granny Sha said, Consort Jing said, "If that's the case, then Ting'er definitely can't marry her anymore!"
"Your Majesty, we were so eager to marry Grand Tutor Liu's daughter before, but now... I'm afraid Grand Tutor Liu will have a hard time explaining this."
Consort Jing's gentle expression changed instantly.
"It's her daughter's fault, how can you blame me!"
It's all her own fault. Why did she go to the ferry for no reason? A young lady should act like a young lady.
She's always wandering around outside; is she trying to emulate that Wu family?
However, Lady Wu was quite lucky. She survived several major disasters and this time she even turned misfortune into blessing by saving the emperor.
Thinking of her newly developed An Sheng Bao Ji Pill, if she had taken this pill to save the Emperor that day, she would have succeeded long ago, and there would have been no Empress later.
Consort Jing looked at Granny Liu.
"Has His Majesty bestowed upon anyone the batch of beauty pills that Lady Wu recently presented?"
He had sent someone to Yulu Central City to ask Wu for the beauty pill, but she refused.
They also said that because the ingredients for making the pills were scarce, everyone had to have a VIP card to buy them.
Upon hearing the news relayed by the palace maid, Consort Jing was so angry that she nearly knocked over her beloved crabapple-patterned jade screen.
She had intended to subtly persuade the emperor to strip Wu Weiwei of her position as a royal merchant, but to her surprise, the emperor seemed to be under a spell, only saying that Wu Weiwei had done the right thing.
They even said that all beings are equal, and that even if she was a concubine, she still had to follow the rules.
Moreover, this Seven-Colored Spiritual Fruit is indeed extremely rare; even he wouldn't dare send anyone to the Snake Cave in Chulong Prefecture to search for it.
Consort Jing was so angry after hearing this that she couldn't sleep at night.
It seems that Madam Wu is holding a grudge against her because of what happened with Granny Mei.
But what good is her hatred? With her lowly status, she is indeed no match for Ting'er.
Seeing the Empress's expression, Granny Sha cautiously said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the batch of beauty pills that Lady Wu sent has already been distributed by the Emperor to other concubines in the palace, especially Consort Ji, who received the most..."
"Concubine Ji?"
"Ah."
Whether it was because their concubine fought with the empress while the emperor was unconscious or something else, the emperor rarely came to Hanxiang Palace after he woke up.
I heard from people in the palace that the Emperor visited the Empress the least.
However, the Emperor visited the concubines who had just been released from the Cold Palace the most frequently.
Because of Consort Ji's unauthorized departure from the palace last time, she was accused of adultery by the Empress and imprisoned in the Cold Palace until the Emperor woke up.
"It seems she has turned misfortune into blessing. I thought she was destined to stay in the cold palace for the rest of her life."
I never expected the Emperor would remember her, and even release her without regard for her crime. She must be quite resourceful..."
"Isn't it?"
"Let's go! To Jingyang Palace!"
Since the Emperor wasn't going to see her, she decided to wait for him at Jingyang Palace. She refused to believe he would disregard their past relationship.
Treasure House.
Ye Qingyun had been reviewing the accounts these past few days and discovered that a full 800,000 taels of silver were missing.
"Manager Lin, where did the missing silver go?"
Although Ye Qingyun was transferred away some time ago, she took the initiative to request to be transferred back after Qingzhu left.
Looking at the ledger that Ye Qingyun threw at him, Manager Lin stammered, "Mr. Ye, this... I don't know."
"But a while ago, the guard from the yamen took away the account books, saying he wanted to check the accounts..."
"Kuli?"
"Yes, it is the guard of the warehouse."
Ye Qingyun lowered his eyes.
"Okay, get out!"
What did the young master do with such a large sum of money?
Her grandfather told her not to interfere in the young master's affairs, but how could she not? This Jubao Tower was the culmination of the Luo family's hard work.
She remembered going to the Luo family with her grandfather when she was little. At that time, Grandpa Luo held her hand and sighed that if it weren't for the wrong decision he made back then, the two families might have been able to...
Grandpa Luo has always doted on her, and now that the young master has been found, she still remembers what he told her.
Thinking of Wu Weiwei, could it be that the young master took the money and gave it to her?
Wu Weiwei has been busy with wound medicine lately.
She vaguely heard rumors that countries were in turmoil during this period.
Especially a few days ago, she received a letter from Xiao Qingyu, saying that they urgently needed a large quantity of wound medicine.
Thus, she was not only busy dealing with orders from Yulu Beauty Salon, but also needed to supervise her staff to work overtime to rush production.
Even so, it is far from enough.
Wu Weiwei summoned Lin Fan and others.
"Manager Lin, do you think it's possible to have someone allocate another piece of land in this area? I want you to build a factory as quickly as possible."
Also, we are currently short-staffed and unable to mass-produce wounds. I need you to recruit a large number of people..."
Lin Fan was somewhat surprised by Wu Weiwei's request.
Is the owner preparing to mass-produce wound medicine?
"Master, has the situation become so dire?"
Wu Weiwei nodded.
"The situation in the northern frontier is not optimistic. Mr. Xiao and his group need my support, so I must ensure that I can produce enough wound medicine to provide for them..."
Lin Fan nodded.
He already knew that his master's younger brother was the last descendant of the Northern Frontier Emperor, and that Xiao Qingyu was now helping him reclaim the throne.
If Wu Heran were to become the emperor of the Northern Frontier Kingdom, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial to their master.
Therefore, providing them with sufficient wound medicine is essential.
"Alright, I'll arrange it right away and try my best to build the factory that meets your requirements as quickly as possible. It's just that the funding......"
The construction of Yulu Central City had already used up most of the funds. Although the pre-sale of the beauty salon made some money recently, it was only a small part of the profit.
The real money will probably have to be made from the healing medicine.
However, their wound medicine is currently only produced in small batches, so the primary problem to solve now is funding.
Wu Weiwei was prepared for this.
She then took out several receipts.
"Here are 800,000 taels of silver, distributed among different banks in the Great Wei. Go and withdraw them!"
"This……"
Lin Fan was astonished; where did his master get so much silver?
Seeing the confusion in Lin Fan's eyes, Wu Weiwei did not explain the origin of the money to him in detail.
After all, the money came in a somewhat awkward way; it was all given to her by that little puppy, Qingzhu.
"go quickly!"
Seeing Lin Feng leave, Wu Weiwei chuckled.
She originally thought Qingzhu was her pet puppy, but unexpectedly, she ended up being taken care of by the pet puppy instead!
