"All of the elixirs used in the treatnt are very rare and expensive. A fifth-grade elixir, the Soul Devouring Heart Rotting Elixir; a fourth-grade elixir, the Elental Heart Elixir, and a second-grade elixir, the Purple Heart Barrier Elixir. Not to ntion, the fourth-grade elixir, Elental Heart Elixir is the lost recipe. Of course, they are expensive. And during the treatnt, Lady Bai had to transfer the Qi to Her Highness the Empress Dowager. Lady Bai had to be carried by her father yesterday because she was so exhausted." He Qiang shut down all of the complaints.
Everyone was silent.
"Mother, Lady Bai told to remind you to send the money today." Empress Miao said.
The empress dowager nodded. "Send 10 million taels to Lady Bai. Put extra 2 million."
"Yes, Mother." Empress Miao nodded.
"Mother, why are you giving another two million to her? The treatnt only cost you 10 million." The emperor stated.
"Don’t you hear about it just now? She even had to transfer the Qi to . The 10 million that she requests is only for the three elixirs. So, I am giving her an extra two million." The empress dowager stated.
"But..." The emperor wanted to argue more about that but the empress dowager cut him out.
"I am using my money. Why do you act like this?" The empress dowager scolded the emperor.
The emperor’s heart was bleeding. He knew it was her money. But still, her money was also the royal family’s wealth. 12 million taels gone just like that.
"General Bai and his son are here. I will give the money to them so that they can give it to Lady Bai." Empress Miao stated.
"Good... Since you all already see , you can leave now. I want to get another rest." The empress dowager chased them out. "Miao Yu, don’t forget about Lady Bai’s money."
"Yes, Mother." Empress Miao stated.
All of them left the bedroom.
"Miao Yu, just take 10 million taels since Lady Bai just asked for 10 million taels." The emperor lowered his tone so that, no one could hear it.
Empress Miao stopped and stared at the emperor. "Are you seriously asking to do that?"
The question was quite loud, making everyone stop and look at the emperor and Empress Miao.
"Sister, rember who you are." Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu reminded Empress Miao.
Empress Miao turned and looked at Noble Consort Furen, Qian Yunyu. Then, she spoke out. "You should rember who you are. Don’t barge into our conversation."
She took a deep breath before turning back to the emperor. "Your Majesty, even though you are the emperor, Mother already gave the order to take 12 million taels to give Lady Bai as a reward for treating Mother. You don’t know how Lady Bai treating Mother. She was exhausting herself. She even took the Qi recovery pills multiple tis in order to have enough Qi to be transferred to Mother. Lady Bai deserves to get these 2 million. So, whether you like or not, I will take those 12 million taels."
Empress Miao bowed to the emperor before leaving. The emperor was stunned.
"Your Majesty, how could Older Sister talk to you like that?" Noble Consort Guipin, Sha Bing sighed.
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty should be punished." Noble Consort Guifei, Qian Shuyu chid in.
"Enough. Let’s leave first." The emperor stated.
Empress Miao went to take out the 12 million taels. She wanted to give it to Bai Xiang right away. However, she found out that Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng already left the Jasmine Palace and were about to leave the palace and return ho. She imdiately asked the eunuch to chase after Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng.
Empress Miao was lucky that Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng were right at the gate and were about to leave.
"Your Excellency... Your Excellency... Please wait." The eunuch shouted.
Bai Xiang looked at the eunuch. "What is it?"
"Her Majesty the Empress has sothing to give to Your Excellency. Please go to Jasmine Palace." The eunuch stated.
Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng looked at each other.
"Let’s go." Bai Xiang stated.
So, they returned back to Jasmine Palace. They t with Empress Miao who was waiting for them. Both of them greeted Empress Miao.
"Your Majesty, why do you want to see us?" Bai Xiang asked.
Empress Miao signalled the servant to bring out the money.
"This is the paynt that Her Highness the Empress Dowager promised Lady Bai. 12 million." Empress Miao stated.
"What I heard from my daughter is the paynt is just 10 million taels." Bai Xiang stated.
"Indeed. However, Her Highness the Empress Miao saw how Lady Bai treated her illness yesterday. Lady Bai exhausted herself. That is why Her Highness rewarded her another 2 million taels." Empress Miao stated.
"If Her Highness the Empress Dowager thinks like that, I will accept it on behalf of my daughter." Bai Xiang nodded.
Bai Tingfeng took the money.
"Do you want so people to transfer the money to General Bai Residence?" Empress Miao asked.
"There is no need for that, Your Majesty." Bai Xiang shook his head.
He took out a piece of paper. Empress Miao did not know what that was. However, after seeing the money disappear in front of her eyes, she seed to recognise the item.
"Is that the storage rune? The ones that were being auctioned two days ago?" Empress Miao asked.
