Congratulations on opening the coffin

Chapter 156 I Can't Help You

Among the kneeling crowd, Shen Ruo was the only one left standing, with a feeling of standing out from the crowd.

Yiren, who was ordered to deliver the plaque, didn't blame him, but ordered the little eunuchs to replace the plaque, and then said softly to Shen Ruo: "The prince is busy these days, so I can't come here to congratulate you. I hope Miss Qiao will forgive me."

Shen Ruo twitched the corner of her mouth: "How dare you."

He gave her a great gift.

Yi Ren doesn't mind her somewhat disobedient answer, after all, it is very likely that this will be the most favored mistress of the Eastern Palace in a short time.

She coldly turned to the strong man next to her who was domineering just now: "This Miss Qiao is a noble person valued by the crown prince, how dare you come to bully her?"

The last time his second brother suffered a disadvantage here, he wanted to find a reason to find fault, but he didn't expect to kick the iron board.

The brawny man was dressed in a hulking back, but he turned pale with fright and trembled all over: "The little one doesn't dare! The little one doesn't dare! The little one will take people away now, and never dare to trouble Miss Qiao again."

Just as he was about to crawl away, he was stopped by Yi Ren: "Stop!"

The strong man plopped and knelt back to the ground again.

"Kowtow a hundred times here, and you can't leave until Miss Qiao calms down."

The strong man and the dozen or so subordinates behind him, without saying a word, kowtowed to the bluestone slab with muffled noises, and none of them was in vain.

Knocking and yelling: "Miss Qiao, I offended you because I've offended you, I hope you forgive me!"

Qiao Ran quietly ran over, seeing those people whose faces were covered with blood in just a few strokes, she couldn't bear it: "Why don't you just forget about it."

Shen Ruo tilted her head, thinking: "That's fine."

When the strong man heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly shouted: "The girl has a kind heart, you little one..."

Shen Ruo raised his hand to stop it: "Wait, don't rush to thank."

"You don't need to kowtow your head, so as not to waste medicine, call your family members and redeem it with ten taels per person, or you can just kneel here."

The strong man's face turned blue. One must know that they work in the Lin family, and their monthly salary is only two taels, ten taels, which is simply...

"A profiteer!" Qiao Ran was beside him, raised his thumb, and praised in amazement, "Why didn't I realize before that you still have the talent to be a profiteer."

"From now on, buddy will follow you."

Qiao Ran wanted to pat Shen Ruo on the shoulder with a friendly face, but Shen Ruo waved her away with disgust.

At this time, after experiencing the hard struggle of heartache and headache, the strong man agreed with heartache: "Okay, ten taels will be ten taels."

"Isn't it ten taels of gold?"

A voice as cold and pleasant as snow came from the side.

The strong man's eyes were so wide that they were about to burst: "Gold! Don't push too hard..."

His words stopped abruptly when he saw the person coming.

He is the God of War who defeated the Xiongnu with great military exploits, His Royal Highness King Jing.

Because Xiao Chen also served as the commander of the Jingdu Guards, and arrested criminal officials from time to time, he was more intimidating than the high-ranking Crown Prince who was far away in the East Palace.

The strong man smiled wryly. He actually offended the woman who was protected by the crown prince and King Jing.

But he didn't want to, Shen Ruo just rolled his eyes at Xiao Chen who suddenly appeared: "A person like him, even if you sell him off, you still can't make up ten taels of gold."

Looking at the strong man who was about to be frightened into a fool, she kicked it: "Okay, hurry up and ask someone to collect ten taels of silver. If you keep kneeling here and disturb my business, how can I deal with you?"

The brawny man was full of gratitude, and he kowtowed again and again: "Bodhisattva! You are the Bodhisattva who saves suffering and suffering! My little eyesight, I will enshrine your statue at home in the future, and burn incense and pray day and night."

"..."

Shen Ruo was speechless and didn't know what to say.

A few chuckles from behind drew her attention back, and she was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, so she first asked Yi Ren if she would like to stay for a cup of tea.

Yi Ren glanced at the plaque that had been pressed, and shook his head: "This subordinate has to go back and report to His Highness, let's take a step first."

After bowing to King Jing again, Fang left with the eunuchs.

Xiao Chen looked at the plaque and remembered that his elder brother had asked his father for the imperial plaque a few days ago. It turned out that it was for this reason. For some reason, he felt a little strange emotion in his heart.

Naturally, Qi'er came with him, and before he could figure out what was going on in his heart, Qi'er had already run over and dragged Shen Ruo back to the pharmacy. As for opening the shop, he left it to Qiao Ran.

This pharmacy was introduced by Grandpa Li last time. It cost her an ingot of gold for the transfer of the old store, and another ingot of gold for the decoration. However, after Jinshan Temple, Lin Lang sent someone to send 100 taels, and Xiao Chen also bought it The remaining 900 taels will be returned.

She is now a rich woman with a thousand taels of gold, not to mention opening a store, even buying the whole street is more than enough.

Although this storefront is remote, it occupies a large area. It is divided into front and back yards. In the middle, the previous owner has reclaimed a small field and planted some common medicinal materials.

Here, from now on, will be her home, where she lives and works.

Thinking of it, Shen Ruo couldn't help getting excited.

However, she quickly regained her composure, chatted with Qi'er for a while, and after asking about the current situation, she talked about serious matters with Xiao Chen.

"I've read the book left by the poisonous king. Ge Nanyi didn't lie. There is indeed no cure for the Gu you are in."

In other words, this Gu was created so that it could not be unraveled. She also thought that it would be better to have an operation to dig out the Gu, but once the Gu sensed danger, it would release deadly poison, and it was so close to the heart. Not sure about that at all.

In the past half a month, Xiao Chen has almost prepared himself, and he was not too disappointed when he heard that he couldn't get rid of the Gu.

He just nodded: "It's okay, since this is the case, then just keep him in the house for a lifetime."

In fact, he didn't say anything about one thing. Ge Nanyi's panic attacks have become more and more serious these days, and sometimes he can't even recognize him. He has long been locked in the room by him and is not allowed to run around.

However, even after listening to what he said, Shen Ruo still couldn't feel better: "I'm sorry, I clearly said that I will help you solve the Gu."

But soon she cheered up again: "But don't worry, I won't give up, there will be a way."

Facing her firm gaze, Xiao Chen looked away in embarrassment, and saw people coming and going in the front yard through the window.

Immediately remembering what the prince had done, his mood suddenly fell, and he didn't know why.

Shen Ruo didn't know what he was thinking. Following his gaze, she happened to see Qiao Ran who was busy. She paused and said, "Can I trouble you?"

Xiao Chen came back to his senses: "Say it."

"Nanyue Kingdom has done me a great favor. Other countries are now in ruins. Can Xiao Country and Nanyue Kingdom resume business and save them?"

Xiao Chen didn't even think about it, and said bluntly: "This is impossible."

After finishing speaking, he realized that his words were too blunt, so he eased his tone and said: "Nanyue Kingdom once helped the vassal princes in the south to fight against the imperial court, and my father was very angry about it. I didn't take the opportunity to annex Nanyue Kingdom, which is already a great grace of the emperor. "

"Sorry, I can't help you with this."
