Chapter 497 From now on, Prince Chen’s Mansion will belong to you

The emperor clapped his hands and laughed.

"Okay." He said, "What makes me most gratified is that you brothers and sisters work together. I also believe that you brothers will be able to achieve great things."

The Queen also nodded with a smile.

"Grandpa Huang is joking." Sheng Zhiyao said softly, "My ideal is very small. I just want to make more money and sleep peacefully for the rest of my life."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this, even Feng Yuanchen, who had always had a sullen face, smiled.

"How come I didn't know you were so greedy for money?" the emperor laughed and scolded.

The Empress also looked at Sheng Zhiyao angrily.

"What's so strange about this? People always have emotions and desires. I don't care about the country as much as the eldest brother, nor do I have the martial arts and military skills like the second brother." Sheng Zhiyao smiled and winked at Sheng Hangu.

, "Like the third brother, I like to do business, but one thing that is different between me and the third brother is that he likes to hear the sound of the abacus hitting, while I like the sound of the banknotes clattering."

"You, philistine." Sheng Hancheng said.

Sheng Zhiyao chuckled.

"Only when you have money can you feel safe. In this world, people are either for fame or profit. After all, people like the eldest brother and second brother are in the minority. I am just an ordinary person. I just want to live a free and comfortable life."

"Aren't you still free with your status?" The emperor asked, "What do you want? Your palace is short of gold and silver?"

"Grandpa Huang, that's not mine. You also said it's the Marquis's Mansion, not my Princess's Mansion." Sheng Zhiyao curled her lips and said, "Besides, I'm not a manly man, so those things should be left to my brothers."

"Then you have Yuan Chen! From now on, Prince Chen's Mansion will belong to you." The emperor said, "Isn't this enough for your expenses?"

The Queen couldn't help but laugh and coughed softly.

"Grandpa Huang, that belongs to Yuan Chen. I don't need to rely on my husband to gain power and status. That would be too tiring." Sheng Zhiyao said, picking up vegetables with chopsticks, "I want to be a carefree, wealthy and idle person.

Earn your own money, spend your own money, and live the life you want.”

The emperor laughed and gave a thumbs up: "This wish is very beautiful and touching."

"Grandpa Huang, this is not a wish, this is what I do. You see, the shop I opened in the capital has made a lot of money, right?" Sheng Zhiyao said, "I am not afraid to tell Grandpa Huang about the two shops that Grandma Huang rewarded today.

I'm going to use the shop to open a medical clinic and a mahjong parlor."

There was silence in the hall after she finished speaking, and then a burst of laughter broke out.

"It's a shame you can think of opening a mahjong parlor." Sheng Hancheng said, shaking his head and sighing.

The emperor smiled and bent down, waving his hands to signal everyone to stop.

"Okay, okay, I support this." He agreed, "This should be done. It will not only make people happy, but also improve people's entertainment and living standards."

The Queen also nodded.

"Grandpa Huang, you must come when I open the door." Sheng Zhiyao said hurriedly.

"Of course." The emperor said, reaching out and tugging on the queen's sleeve, "I'll go with your grandma, and then I'll take your grandpa with me."

The queen responded with a smile.

"Isn't that three missing one? I have to find a mahjong partner with you again." Sheng Zhiyao said.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace, accompanied by the high-pitched and urgent shouts of the chamberlain.

"Your Majesty... Queen Qi..."

The emperor frowned slightly.

"Who is it? So panicked?" he said with a bit of anger.

With these words, the chamberlain fell down in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, something serious has happened. Something happened to the hospital." He said tremblingly.

The emperor stood up and walked towards the palace gate without caring about the crowd. Upon seeing this, the ministers at the gate followed him.

"What happened, are you so panicked?"

The chamberlain said intermittently as he jogged: "All the doctors at the Imperial Hospital fainted."

As soon as the chamberlain finished speaking, a group of palace maids filed in holding trays. On the trays were pieces of blood-stained white cloth.

This scene frightened the ministers nearby.

"Why are you all here?" the emperor shouted, looking across, "You are better informed than me."

After saying this, he raised his legs and stepped forward, but did not step out of the threshold. Instead, he turned around and gave instructions to the waiting ministers.

"Do any of you know what's going on? Why do the good doctors suddenly faint?" he said.

Everyone looked embarrassed, shifting blame among each other, and no one dared to answer.

"I know." A slightly older official raised his hand and said.

The emperor looked at him: "You tell me first."

The older official lowered his head, bowed respectfully, and said yes.

"Your Majesty, it is said that one of the imperial doctors did not know where he was infected with the plague, and then concealed it without reporting it, which caused the disease in the entire imperial hospital. Now everything in the imperial hospital is in chaos. The imperial doctors are helpless, and some have begun to vomit blood.

." He whispered, looking horrified..

Sure enough, the emperor's face immediately turned cold and he stared at the official sharply.

"How do you know? Who told you?" he asked in a deep voice.

The older official knelt down, looking panicked.

"King Wu sent someone to ask," he stammered, "and people from the Imperial Hospital later came to report, saying that... a eunuch was also infected with the plague, so... I hurried to see him.

Look at your Majesty."

"King Wu?" The emperor said the name with a solemn expression, "Have you all received the news about King Wu?"

The officials kowtowed in response.

The emperor's eyes narrowed.

"How did he know that some of the imperial doctors were infected with the plague?" he asked.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you.

"Princess Wu is pregnant, and she often recruits imperial doctors to the palace recently." Someone muttered.

This reason doesn't explain anything.

The emperor snorted and shouted: "Since you know that someone was infected with the plague, why didn't you tell me earlier? And why didn't he come in person?"

"Because..." The older official hesitated.

"Because the imperial doctors said it was an ordinary wind and cold, there is no need to disturb the emperor." Another official said.

"Then why don't you disturb me if something happens now?" the emperor asked sharply.

All the officials hurriedly kowtowed to apologize. In fact, they had just learned that something happened to the imperial doctors. Before, King Wu only asked each family at the banquet if they had had contact with the imperial doctor. It turned out that he didn't ask, but he was shocked when he asked.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you." All the officials said in unison, "I came to report after finding out the facts."

The emperor's expression became even more gloomy: "What's going on over there in Prince Wu's Mansion?" he asked, patting the table again, "What do they do for food! As an imperial doctor, don't you know what you're getting? You can't tell the difference between cold and plague.

Is that so? It’s simply a quack, a quack!”

"Your Majesty, calm down." The ministers comforted, "The matter has not been clarified yet, so don't blame me."
