When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

Xu Guanghai was a little annoyed, and secretly cursed these blind people in his heart for treating him like this!

When the Xu family and the Qi Wang family become relatives in the future, I will see whether he can deal with these tactless people properly.

However, Xu Guanghai realized that calling out was useless, so he could only hold back his anger for the time being and said to the palace soldier in a slow voice, "I was a little emotional just now, but I have something important to discuss with Prince Qi, and this matter may concern your future Princess Qi.

Please also inform King Qi that whether to see him or not is entirely up to him. Just tell him that Xu Mingxi is in trouble and I have come to seek King Qi's help.

I won't go in, I'll just wait outside, this should be fine, I haven't broken the rules, and you haven't failed in your duties."

A palace soldier hesitated for a moment, but seeing how serious he was, and fearing that he might delay Prince Qi's important event, he turned around and went inside.

In less than a minute, the guard returned to his original position, his attitude slightly more respectful than before: "Lord Xu, Prince Qi wants to see you."

Xu Guanghai sneered in his heart: You still have to invite me in. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have done it in the first place!

Without saying anything, he straightened his back and walked in with big strides.

After entering the mansion, the steward of Prince Qi's mansion came to greet him. He was smiling and looked warm. He respectfully led Xu Guanghai to Qin Zhaolie's study.

Qin Zhaolie was nominally under house arrest before, but it was impossible for him to really live in the palace obediently as the emperor said. Instead, he used this as a cover to secretly implement his own plan.

Qin Zhaolie and Xu Guanghai have been released from house arrest for a few days now. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come to look for him today.

I just came back recently and have heard some news from Kyoto. I haven't found a chance to meet Xu Baiyu about the internal affairs of the Xu Mansion, so it is indeed unclear what the purpose of Xu Guanghai's coming here is.

"Master Xu, what brings you here today?"

Qin Zhaolie acted like a superior, with an elegant demeanor that could not be concealed even by his casual clothes. He looked at Xu Guanghai nonchalantly.

Although he had something to ask for, Xu Guanghai felt that there was a great chance of success, and his attitude was not very humble. Even when he asked for help, he never bowed his head.

"Your Highness, I came here today to ask for something."

"Oh? Lord Xu, what can I do for you? I am busy with my own affairs right now."

Seeing Xu Guanghai's slightly arrogant attitude, Qin Zhaolie felt very unhappy and was anxious not to agree to Xu Guanghai.

"Your Highness, why do you say that? Only you can help me with this matter. I came here today to ask for medicine for my daughter Xu Mingxi."

Xu Guanghai then bowed, thinking that mentioning the words "Xu Mingxi" and "asking for medicine" would arouse a trace of heartache and sympathy from Qin Zhaolie.

He anticipated that Qin Zhaolie's next reaction would be to quickly stand up from the chair, walk to his side and ask him to sit down, and ask about Xu Mingxi's condition, such as what disease she had and how serious it was. Then he would cry and say that he felt sorry for his daughter, beg for purple salvia ginseng, and pretend to bow down in a humble manner, asking him to give him medicine.

He had a rough idea of ​​what the outcome would be and how it would end, and he even had a plan in mind for what to say and what promises to make before leaving.

However, the reality was not as he imagined.

Xu Guanghai waited for a long time but did not hear Qin Zhaolie's answer.

It was puzzled and mustered up the courage to look up at Qin Zhaolie. It saw that he was in a leisurely posture, leaning against the back of the chair, as if he didn't hear anything. His right leg was crossed over his left leg, and his hands were playing with the jade pendant with a green tassel around his waist.

It seemed that she heard him suddenly stop talking, so she raised her eyes and their eyes met.

"Why did Master Xu suddenly stop talking? Do you suddenly not want to ask for medicine anymore?"

Xu Guanghai paused for a moment, and only realized what was happening when he heard him speak:

This seemed to be different from what he expected.

He could only bite the bullet and continue speaking: "My little girl suddenly fell ill with a serious illness. The pain and suffering were unbearable to watch. Only purple salvia ginseng could save her life.

I heard that this medicinal ingredient is here with Your Highness, so I came here to ask for it!"

It speaks of deep affection and meaning.

He also emphasized Xu Mingxi's condition.

It was as if he was really a kind father who was willing to sacrifice his reputation to save his daughter.

Xu Guanghai acted so emotionally that his eyes were slightly moist, his brows were twisted so tightly that they could kill a fly, and his voice was choked with sobs: "Your Highness, I only have this one daughter. I really can't bear to see her suffer so much. I have come to ask Your Highness to save her!"

The words are so sincere that those who see them are sad and those who hear them cry.

However, Qin Zhaolie's voice remained the same as usual. He said "hmm" lightly, raised his eyes and glanced at him: "Then what is Lord Xu going to use to exchange for my purple ginseng?"

Xu Guanghai was a little stunned. What did Qin Zhaolie say in exchange?

Wasn't he pursuing Xi'er? Wasn't he always willing to help Xi'er? How could he be so indifferent now that he heard she was suffering from this disease? What would he offer in exchange?

But since Qin Zhaolie brought it up, he felt embarrassed not to answer. He couldn't say that he was trying to get something for nothing.

"Um, I am not sure what Your Highness wants. I was anxious to get medicine today and have not prepared anything. If Your Highness has any request or wish, I will do my best."

Qin Zhaolie was disdainful. Did he think this was his Xu Mansion's storehouse? He just took things when he asked, and he wanted to get his purple salvia for free by howling twice and dropping a few drops of horse urine?

How can it be done without shedding some blood?

Want beauty!

"What this prince wants is very simple. I want Xu Mingxi to be my concubine."

What! Xu Guanghai's pupils trembled slightly.

What did he say? Qin Zhaolie said he wanted Xier to be his concubine!

"Your Highness, you and Xi'er have a lot in common, how can you bear to let her be your concubine? This is unacceptable!

Besides, even if it gets out, people will say you are taking advantage of someone's misfortune. Your reputation will also be damaged!"

Xu Guanghai found it a little hard to accept. This was too different from what he had expected. He really didn't expect that Qin Zhaolie would be so cruel!

"Sir Xu, I am not cruel, you are no longer the Minister of War, and Xu Mingxi is no longer the Minister's legitimate daughter, but only the daughter of a small vice minister.

How can you be worthy of me? I am a prince after all, and my wife must be a noble lady from a prominent family, so as not to bring disgrace to my family!"

"This..." Xu Guanghai was speechless, but he was unwilling to do so. The concubine was only a concubine of the royal family. Her daughter was supposed to help him, so how could she be a concubine? No.

Qin Zhaolie is not only taking advantage of others' misfortune, he is actually taking advantage of their misfortune!

"Your Majesty, even Xi'er would be sad if she heard this. Why don't you reconsider it?

In exchange, I will give you half of my dowry. What do you think? "

Bei Xuan usually gives sixty-four sets of dowry when marrying off a daughter, and half more is given. Xu Guanghai plans to exchange it for ninety-six sets of dowry.

"One times." Qin Zhaolie didn't even blink, but raised his index finger.

"Your Highness, this is too——"

One times that would be 128! That's how many concubines the emperor married!

"Double." Without waiting for him to refute, Qin Zhaolie raised the price.

Xu Guanghai was speechless. Seeing that he really had no room for maneuver, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "I will obey your Highness's wishes. I will accompany you twice as much."

Xu Guanghai was furious and wanted to say something, but Qin Zhaolie waved his hand and said, "Master Xu, don't feel that you are at a disadvantage. Xi'er will share the glory with me in the future, and you are also my person. Protecting the Xu Mansion... This amount of silver is really not much.

Am I right?

If you agree, Master Xu, go get the purple ginseng from the housekeeper. I am tired. "

Xu Guanghai was so angry that he had no place to vent, so he had to respond and leave.

After he walked out of the study, he couldn't bear it anymore, so he shook his sleeves, snorted, and walked away angrily.
