"Prince, Lady, the wine has arrived."
Qing Lian lowered her head slightly, and carefully placed the wine on the table.
Prince Qing looked at her aningfully, the timing was perfect, indeed, she lived up to being Lady Liu’s favorite servant, truly clever.
"Well done, today I’m very happy, here’s a reward of a hundred taels of silver!"
"Thank you, Prince Qing! Thank you, Lady Liu!"
Qing Lian imdiately knelt down, displaying extre joy.
After all, a hundred taels is quite a significant amount for a servant.
"Hmm!"
Prince Qing nodded slightly, while Lady Liu continued to pour the wine!
However, her gaze fleetingly glanced at Qing Lian.
Only to see Qing Lian’s eyes also flicker slightly.
Seeing this, Lady Liu felt relieved.
In a blink, an hour passed.
All the wine jugs were once again empty, and Prince Qing was finally drunk.
His hands started moving erratically in front of Qing Lian, and he began talking more.
"Lady... it’s indeed a good day today."
Saying this, his hand touched Lady Liu’s fair neck, obviously that wasn’t the end point, as it slid further.
Lady Liu, of course, didn’t mind, but she glanced at Qing Lian.
After all, she’s a servant and felt a bit uncomfortable having such things seen.
And Qing Lian cooperatively lowered her head.
"What good day, Prince, might you share it with ?"
Lady Liu asked while feeding him wine, following his words.
"Of course, since this matter is already settled, there’s nothing that can’t be said."
After a gulp of wine, Prince Qing continued, "I have acquired a few valuable dicines of ten thousand years, haven’t I?"
"Yes, I know of that, they are good things, very beneficial for Prince’s cultivation."
"These are what Prince has shared with !"
Lady Liu, while pouring wine, showed a hint of doubt.
Then she asked again, "Could it be that Prince has acquired another ten thousand years dicine?"
At this mont, Qing Lian was overjoyed, she was just racking her brains on how to elicit the information, unexpectedly, a drunk Prince Qing spoke of it himself.
Imdiately, she was fully attentive, afraid of missing a word.
"Lady, what are you thinking? Those are dicines of ten thousand years, such luck to acquire a few of them."
The already drunk Prince Qing spoke lightly, feeling the softness in his hand.
"What makes Prince so happy?"
Lady Liu asked.
"Because this ten thousand years dicine soon won’t belong to ."
Prince Qing made a shocking statent.
And Lady Liu was even more puzzled, these are dicines of ten thousand years.
Losing them yet so happy?
Sothing seed amiss.
Seeing her confusion, Prince Qing slowly explained.
"Wasn’t I troubled so days ago?"
"It’s because soone wanted the dicines I have!"
"Do you know who?"
Prince Qing asked.
"Who?"
"Your Highness!"
"Ah—"
Lady Liu opened her mouth in surprise, Your Highness!
"But how did Your Highness find out?"
"This matter is so hidden, I know, but I’ve told no one."
Lady Liu quickly distanced herself from it.
Afraid of trouble.
"Hahaha... Lady, no need to be nervous."
"Of course, I trust you."
Prince Qing chuckled lightly.
But then sighed, "Alas, Prince Qing’s Mansion is infiltrated by many outsiders, leaks are quite expected."
Great Yu Hundred Mansions!
Which mansion doesn’t have the Imperial City spies?
This... is quite frustrating to him, but there’s no solution.
He hadn’t had these dicines for long when Qin Tiandao sent soone, hinting that he should relinquish the ten thousand years dicines.
Initially fearing Your Highness, yet reluctant.
Thus quite conflicted.
Luckily, Qin Tiandao promised to assist his eldest son in acquiring a superior rule at the Burial Ground.
A few dicines in exchange for a rule... undeniably beneficial.
Moreover, he heard this might be the last opening of the Burial Ground.
Hence, a superior rule is imnsely precious.
Had it not been for Chen Xuan’s raid on Qin Tiandao’s dicine garden, he wouldn’t have made such concessions.
"All for Zheng’Er, Your Highness promised to help him acquire a superior rule, with this rule, Zheng’Er could soar high in the future!"
After saying this, Prince Qing’s expression turned excited.
His rule was inferior.
Thus stuck at the third level in Dao Realm for thousands of years.
Even with these dicines, it would only enhance his physique sowhat but not significantly.
Now able to secure Zheng’Er a superior rule, it was utterly worthwhile.
"Superior rule!"
Lady Liu’s heart exclaid.
The Zheng’Er he referred to was the legitimate eldest son of Prince Qing’s Mansion, also born by Prince Qing’s main consort.
Instantly, even though she felt envy... and jealousy.
"Why... didn’t conceive earlier!"
"According to his choice... Prince Qing’s Mansion will belong to Yang Zheng in the future."
Nonetheless, she expressed congratulations promptly, "In that case, Young Master Zheng will surely have a bright future, my congratulations to the Prince."
"Hehe..."
Prince Qing smiled, albeit strangely.
No other choice but to accept this benefit, yet deep down, it still felt disconcerting.
After all, these are dicines of ten thousand years.
But if he doesn’t hand them over... facing Qin Tiandao, the ultimate outco would be losing them.
Luckily, Qin Tiandao wanted to maintain his image, thus offered this condition in the end.
