Chapter 675 Giving Money
Chapter 675 Giving Money
The princess opened her red lips and said slowly, "We need 300,000 dan of grain, and 20,000 taels of gold."
Nier's heart sank when she heard this.
She knew very well that in the current situation, it was not easy to gather such a huge amount of food, but she could still find a way to get 20,000 taels of gold.
After all, the gold, silver and banknotes bestowed by the Queen Mother and the Princess amounted to quite a lot.
Not only that, there are also precious medicinal herbs and jewels.
Although it is not convenient to sell jewelry with official seals directly, Ni'er actually had a plan in mind.
She knew that there were some special ways and channels that would allow her to get rid of these items smoothly.
As for how much it can be sold for, Nier is unable to give an accurate estimate at the moment.
So, she decided to go home and carefully count the jewels before making further assessment.
In addition to this money, the crayfish shop and Yunlai Restaurant she runs have been doing quite well in the past few months, with considerable profits.
However, even if all these incomes are added together, there may still be a slight difference.
But Nier was not too worried. She thought that if it really didn't work, she could go to Huitong Bank to find a solution.
After all, the master said in the letter that I could go to them and should be able to get some money from them to fill this gap.
That way, all the money added together should be enough.
Nier had never thought that there was such a way to improve her status. It was simply tailor-made for her!
I was feeling happy when I suddenly remembered that the princess brought two pieces of news.
Nier asked nervously, "What's the bad news?"
The light that was originally shining in the princess' eyes gradually dimmed, as if covered by a dark cloud.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, "The prince was seriously injured. His arm was hit by a poisonous arrow from the enemy. The situation is not optimistic. I don't know if he can save his arm."
When Nier heard this, her heart suddenly tightened, but then she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, she brought medicine for the prince before leaving. As long as the prince takes it, he should be cured.
However, this is only a flesh wound after all, and it will probably take a few days to fully recover.
However, just when Nier relaxed a little, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, making her heart hang in the air again.
The front line is so far away from here that it is inconvenient to transmit information. Moreover, the prince rarely mentions these things to the queen mother and the princess because he is afraid that they will worry.
But now the princess knows the news. Does this mean that the situation has become so serious that it can no longer be concealed?
The more Nier thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She couldn't help but start to doubt whether the prince had really taken the medicine she brought him.
If the prince didn't take the medicine, the consequences would be disastrous...
Nier's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
Her face was full of worry and anxiety, as if she could see the prince's seriously injured appearance through the void in front of her.
At this moment, Ni'er had only one thought in her mind, which was to fly to the prince immediately and feed him the spiritual spring water so that he could recover as soon as possible.
She paced anxiously, her hands twisted together unconsciously, and she kept praying in her heart that the prince would be safe.
Finally, Ni'er couldn't contain her inner anxiety anymore. She turned to look at the princess and asked anxiously, "Princess, when did you know that the prince was injured?"
The princess frowned slightly, and a hint of sadness appeared between her eyebrows.
She sighed softly and replied, "I just learned the news today too. However, even with the fastest transmission, it would take ten days to get from the front lines to here."
"I really don't know what the prince's current condition is, whether he is out of danger..."
When Ni'er heard these words, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife and she felt unbearable pain.
She couldn't help but think to herself, "I wonder when the next news will come?"
The princess sighed deeply and said, "I just hope Brother Li can save his arm. However, food and fodder are already very tight on the front lines, and I'm sure medicine will be in short supply as well."
"But Brother Li has always been blessed with good fortune and a long life. He will definitely be able to get through this safely."
The more Nier listened, the more anxious she became. She clenched her fists tightly and said anxiously, "Princess, I have a box of excellent debridement ointment here. Perhaps it will help the prince's injury. Could you please ask someone to bring it over?"
The princess took the ointment from Ni'er and said, "I will go to His Majesty and see if I can get it into Brother Li's hands."
Seeing the princess about to turn and leave, Nier hurriedly reached out and grabbed her sleeve. "Princess, if the front lines are short of military doctors, I'm willing to go. My medical skills are quite good, and I believe I can provide some help to General Li and the other injured soldiers."
When the princess heard what Nier said, she was deeply impressed by her courage and determination.
She stared at Ni'er, nodded solemnly, and said, "Okay, I will convey everything you said to His Majesty."
The princess seemed to have suddenly remembered something important, and hurriedly took out a thick stack of silver bills from her bosom and put it in Nier's hand without hesitation.
"Take these banknotes. They're just a drop in the bucket for me, but they should be of some help to you."
Before she finished speaking, the princess turned and left, leaving Ni'er standing there, looking at the thick stack of banknotes in her hand in some astonishment.
Nier lowered her head and took a closer look. She found that the stack of banknotes was worth as much as five thousand taels of gold!
She couldn't help but gasp, secretly admiring the princess's generosity.
With this money, I basically don’t have to worry about the donation I need to make to become the county magistrate.
A big stone in Nier's heart finally fell to the ground, but her thoughts did not stop.
I hope there will be good news from the prince, then everything will be perfect.
A few days later, the princess came to Yunlai Restaurant.
She walked straight towards Nier, with a hint of urgency in her eyes.
The princess' voice was slightly lowered, revealing a hint of worry.
"Nier, I have something important to tell you."
Seeing this, Nier quickly stood up to greet the princess, "Princess, what's the matter?"
The princess took a breath and then said, "The prince's condition has suddenly worsened, and we need to send several imperial physicians to treat him. You can go with us."
When Nier heard this, her heart tightened and she quickly nodded and said, "Okay, Princess. I'm ready to go anytime."
"The departure date is tomorrow, so you need to pack your luggage as soon as possible."
Ni'er thought to herself, "He's so anxious, the prince's condition must be very serious."
"Okay, I'll pack up as soon as I get back." Ni'er replied.
