Chapter 2494: Chapter 2491: Explanation
It’s a pity the other party isn’t savvy, instead hiding ambition.
“The residence always keeps a doctor on standby, might I inquire whether the residence’s doctor has been consulted?” Chu Ziluo asked.
The maid was clearly prepared, “Replying to the Princess Consort, the residence’s doctor has urgent matters at home, and has left the residence today.”
“In that case, Chun Ye, please invite the doctor from the Lu Family Medical Hall to examine Beauty Liu.”
“Having caught a cold, to avoid affecting others, let Beauty Liu rest in the Li Xiang Courtyard nearby.”
The maid was a bit surprised, cautiously glanced at Li Chongjin, seeing the Prince say nothing, she felt somewhat disappointed, “Thank you, Princess Consort.”
Chu Ziluo did not delay, returning to the main courtyard with Li Chongjin.
Neither mentioned the seriously ill Beauty Liu.
As for whether she was truly seriously ill or pretending, it didn’t affect her scheme that had failed.
Li Chongjin had the maid serve tea, pouring a cup for Chu Ziluo.
Chu Ziluo did not decline, “Thank you, Prince. I’m just a bit thirsty. You don’t know, Lil’ Jin brought back many good things this time, and sent quite a few to the residence. Would the Prince like to see what Lil’ Jin delivered?”
“Ziluo, don’t whet my appetite now, it must be something good, otherwise you wouldn’t hold back like this,” Li Chongjin indeed was curious, helplessly smiling.
Chu Ziluo chuckled lightly, “Alright, I’m not teasing the Prince.”
“Prince, see, what is this?”
Chu Ziluo took out the telescope.
Handing it to Li Chongjin, teaching him how to use it.
“This is a military weapon!” Li Chongjin became serious, looking at the telescope, somewhat excited, “Ziluo, how many more of these does Lil’ Jin have?”
“Prince, this item is called a telescope, it’s as literal as it implies, able to see things a thousand miles away. However, this item can’t be given to the Prince for now.”
“Lil’ Jin has only two pieces in hand, one needs to be presented to the Imperial Palace, and the remaining one he wishes to keep for research, but whether it can be done depends on the Emperor’s decision.”
“I thought the Prince would surely appreciate it, so I borrowed one back from Lil’ Jin.”
“But that’s not the main point.” Chu Ziluo let Li Chongjin touch the lens of the telescope, “Prince, don’t you think this transparent thin slice is somewhat similar to colored glaze?”
“If it truly is made of colored glaze, then it will eventually be researched out, and when that time es, the Prince can have as many as desired.”
“Though Lil’ Jin can’t give one to the Prince, he knows the Zhou Family also brought back quite a few. I’ve already sent someone secretly to buy them, ensuring the Prince gets one at the first opportunity.”
“Prince, you won’t be upset that Lil’ Jin privately kept the telescope, right?” Chu Ziluo wasn’t sure either, after all, the telescope was obviously a powerful tool, used on the battlefield, definitely a deterrent to Beirong. However, this item wasn’t abundant, unable to satisfy everyone. In Chu Ziluo’s view, she wasn’t qualified to demand things from Chu Jin.
“No.” Li Chongjin slowly calmed his emotions, reaching out to rub her head: “You’re right, this thing must be offered to the Imperial Palace, and I’m not suitable to possess it now. Just being able to take a look at it, is enough.”
“Though it’s inconvenient for me to hold one, keeping one at the Chu family’s residence for research indeed makes for a good business opportunity.”
Li Chongjin’s emotions didn’t change much, Ziluo being able to directly tell him this idea was enough.
Everyone has selfish desires, he also has them, but he wouldn’t be so foolish.
