Tang Xiuyan clutched Lu Jiuqing's skirt tightly and looked at her eagerly.

"I've done a lot of wrong things, and I'll change them. Don't do this to me."

His head was covered in cold sweat, more and more blood was flowing from his body, and his face was as pale as paper. If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid I'm really going to die.

"I beg you, can you help me get a doctor?"

Lu Jiuqing said calmly: "I'll hire a doctor for you, but when you get better, you want to take revenge on us?"

"I swear, I will never retaliate." Tang Xiuyan said immediately, "I will not hold Chen Yuan accountable either, I promise. Is this okay? Can you hire a doctor for me?"

Lu Jiuqing: "I don't believe what you said."

"Then what do you have to do to believe it?"

"Take money to buy your life," Lu Jiuqing said word by word, "This is best."

Tang Xiuyan closed his eyes: "How much do you want?"

Lu Jiuqing thought for a while and then said: "Five thousand taels."

Tang Xiuyan's eyes suddenly widened: "How much did you say, five thousand taels? Where did I get five thousand taels!"

"Your Majesty has rewarded you generously for being the top scholar, and colleagues from all walks of life have sent you many congratulatory gifts. Recently you were transferred from the Hanlin Academy to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I think you will make a lot of money. A mere five thousand taels is nothing to worry about."

Lu Jiuqing knew Tang Xiuyan too well.

It seems that he was afraid of being poor before, so he started to amass money crazily after becoming powerful. No matter how much it is, as long as it can get into his pocket, he will not let it go.

In his previous life, he had been an official for more than ten years and had already accumulated a substantial fortune.

In this life, he had just started. Lu Jiuqing made a rough estimate and found that five thousand taels was almost just right.

Tang Xiuyan's expression turned green and white, and there were turbulent waves rolling in his heart.

This woman opened her mouth and asked for five thousand taels. She wanted to take away all his wealth.

"I don't have that much," Tang Xiuyan said in a deep voice, "If you ask for five thousand taels, it is no different than asking for my life."

Lu Jiuqing: "Then it depends on whether you want life or money."

"you……"

Tang Xiuyan lay on the bed and panted for a while, and he could clearly feel a little chilly. He knew that this was because of the massive loss of blood, and if it continued, he would be completely cold.

Originally, I thought that Lu Jiuqing had some feelings for him and would not be willing to kill him, but now it seems that Lu Jiuqing is such a vicious woman.

He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said to Lu Jiuqing: "Okay, five thousand taels, you can hire a doctor for me."

Lu Jiuqing stretched out his hand: "Pay first."

Tang Xiuyan: "..."

Tang Xiuyan trembled and took a key from his neck and handed it to Lu Jiuqing. He stretched out his bloody finger and pointed under the bed: "There is a box under the bed. Go and open it."

Lu Jiuqing threw the key to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan stepped forward and pulled out a box from under the bed, and opened it with the key given by Tang Xiuyan. It was filled with gold, silver, jade, and a thick stack of silver notes.

Lu Jiuqing glanced at the contents of the box and said to Tang Xiuyan, "I underestimated you. There are more than five thousand taels here."

Tang Xiuyan's pupils trembled: "You can't go back on your word for the five thousand taels agreed upon."

"Don't worry, I am very honest."

Lu Jiuqing reached out and picked up the banknotes and counted them. He collected five thousand taels each and put some left back into the box.

Lu Jiuqing handed the banknote to Chen Yuan, turned around and hung the key back on Tang Xiuyan's neck. He turned to Xia Ying and said, "Go and hire a doctor for our No. 1 Scholar. Remember, you have to hire the best. The No. 1 Scholar has money. "
