Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"But the Prime Minister is a man, so he probably doesn't know much about his daughter's family affairs—"

"No, I almost forgot about this matter. The girls that the Prime Minister sent to the palace all spent money in my beauty salon. This time, they only paid [-] silver. To be honest. It’s pretty good.”

Jiang Lianzhu pretended to be nothing like it, and she had no intention of being pretentious about this matter. She just wanted to talk about it now to disgust the prime minister.

The expression on the Prime Minister's face had indeed become worse visible to the naked eye. He kept patting his chest to cheer himself up, and managed a bleak smile.

"It's just an extra tael of silver. It's not like our Prime Minister's Mansion can't even get out the money."

"Tsk, that's not all."

Jiang Lianzhu seemed to suddenly think of something else, lowering her head and clasping her fingers.

"You also have to come to my medical clinic with your money to see a doctor. The total of these silvers must be more than two thousand liang. It is uncertain whether it will directly break through the three thousand liang mark in the future."

After she finished speaking, she sighed in a pretentious manner.

"The Prime Minister's family is really well-off. Obviously, the salary given by the court is only a small amount, but the women in your backyard use it for one thousand and one thousand. Those who don't know think you have something privately. Shameful business.”

The Prime Minister was originally able to suppress his anger, but when he heard these last words, he immediately lost his temper.

He couldn't make a direct conclusion now. Did Jiang Lianzhu say this because she knew something, or did she just say it accidentally.

"The Prime Minister has many properties in this capital, and it is just ordinary for him to have such a strong family background."

Liao Yunchuan's voice suddenly came, accompanied by the sound of horse hooves that gradually became lower.

"Right?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the prime minister again, and the prime minister could only respond with a few awkward words.

Jiang Lianzhu returned the token hanging on her waist to Liao Yunchuan, and did not hesitate to know that the Prime Minister was nearby. She directly leaned into his ear and said: "I have settled the matter with Concubine Xi, and she agreed Cooperate with us."

She spoke in a low voice, only two people could hear her, but this action seemed a bit too intimate to outsiders, and the Prime Minister turned his head away.

Liao Yunchuan and Jiang Lianzhu were really born to defeat him. They kept making little moves in private and were not ashamed at all.

"okay, I get it."

Liao Yunchuan nodded slightly.

"The next step is to look at me."

After he finished speaking, he patted Jiang Lianzhu on the shoulder, and the latter left the palace immediately.

"Why is the Prime Minister hiding like this? I was just talking to Miss Jiang in private. Is there something that I don't want to show off to others?"

Liao Yunchuan then turned to look at the Prime Minister on the side, and saw that he reluctantly turned his head around, and then said: "This sacrificial matter has not been completed yet, and we can't delay it any longer."

Arrangements for the sacrificial ceremony were quickly made.

The Prime Minister and Liao Yunchuan were still laymen after all, and they really didn't know much about these ceremonies in the palace. Basically, Sun Qiancheng was the one who arranged and planned them.

In just a few days, the sacrificial ceremony in the palace was successfully held.

Except for the relatively younger princes, all the royal family members were dressed up and stood neatly in front of the altar.

The emperor was reading some scriptures.

Just when there was silence, a eunuch hurried over and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, something happened again with the Third Prince... He suddenly vomited blood and the people from the Imperial Hospital came to see him. If the Third Prince continues in this situation, he may not survive tonight."

The eunuch's words sounded particularly harsh in the silence, and a group of people started talking non-stop after listening.

I had just finished the sacrificial ceremony during the day and prayed to the Buddha for good weather, but in the evening the third prince was about to die - isn't this God blaming him!

"Are the quack doctors in his hospital unable to do anything?"

The look on the emperor's face gradually became ferocious.

The eunuch hesitated for a while before answering: "It's not that there is no way. It's just that this method is a little difficult and requires your Majesty's consent."

"what?"

The eunuch boldly stood up and whispered a few words into the emperor's ear. The look on the emperor's face suddenly changed.

"Go and get that thing now. The affairs of the other three princes must not be leaked to outsiders. If it is spread, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos."

The emperor lowered his voice and warned, and the eunuch ran away immediately after hearing this.

After the eunuch left, the emperor continued to preside over the ceremony as if nothing had happened.

The third prince's bedroom.

Only Dr. Li remained inside, and the rest were all kicked out by Concubine Xi.

Jiang Lianzhu also stood aside, constantly stroking the porcelain bottle in her hand, which contained the so-called antidote.

"Miss Jiang, are you sure that Qiqiaocao can save the third prince's life? From my point of view, I'm afraid there's no way to prescribe the right medicine... It shouldn't be that simple."

Doctor Li still felt a little entangled and hesitant.

Jiang Lianzhu just asked the eunuch to tell the emperor about this without saying a word, and also said that she would take away the Qiqiao grass that the envoys from the Western Regions paid tribute to.

This sounds too unbelievable, as if their group's previous plan was to target the Seven-Aperture Grass.

"Since I want them to do it this way, it means that this way is indeed okay."

Jiang Lianzhu said lightly.

"In addition, after they get the Qiqiaocao, I will start the follow-up treatment immediately. At that time, Dr. Li will be waiting outside."

She then gave another instruction, and Doctor Li could only nod in response after a moment of silence.

Since Jiang Lianzhu had already said it, he had no other choice but to do it.

The eunuch quickly brought a wooden box, and Doctor Li left with the eunuch.

Jiang Lianzhu burned the Li Dai Tao Zhi herb in the wooden box, took out the porcelain bottle in her hand, and gave the third prince a medicine.

Concubine Xi stared closely at the third prince and her eyes widened when she saw his pale face turn rosy in an instant. .
