Chapter 951 Ten Thousand Gold
"Hiss!" Everyone present took a breath of cold air. Doctor Huo was so bold as to ask the emperor for five hundred thousand taels of gold.
That's gold, not silver.
Five hundred thousand taels of gold multiplied several times would be several million taels of silver. For ordinary people, this amount of money was an astronomical figure.
The emperor nodded without even frowning and said, "Okay, I promise you, isn't it just 500,000 taels of gold? It's not a big deal."
"Doctor Huo, please quickly list the herbs you want to buy."
As expected of the emperor, he is so wealthy that he wouldn't even blink an eye at five hundred thousand taels of gold.
Everyone was full of admiration.
The personal eunuch had already instructed the palace maids to prepare the four treasures of the study and spread them out on the desk, waiting for Doctor Huo to start writing.
Huo Xi walked over, picked up a pen, and quickly wrote down a bunch of expensive medicine names.
When everyone came over to take a look, they were all dumbfounded.
There were words written on it, such as thousand-year-old turtle, ten-thousand-year-old eight-leaf taro, thousand-year-old ginseng, etc. These are all very rare medicinal materials that cannot be bought on the market.
The emperor was in great difficulty. He looked up at Huo Xi and asked, "Doctor Huo, where can I buy these things?"
These things are priceless and difficult to buy even if you have money. Where can he find them?
Huo Xi put down his pen, curled his lips and smiled, and said: "That depends on the emperor's fate. If the medicinal materials can be found, then the emperor is destined to live a long and happy life."
"If you can't find it, then ..."
He dragged out the rest of the words for a long time and didn't say them out loud, but everyone was not stupid and could understand him.
The emperor gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, I will definitely send someone to find these herbs, doctor, just wait for the medicine to be made."
Huo Xi said with satisfaction: "Okay, then I will wait for good news from the emperor in the prince's mansion."
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave the imperial study.
At this moment, the bird grabbed Huo Xi's clothes with one claw and said...
"Young Master, since you are making medicine for the Emperor, why bother going to the Prince's Mansion? Wouldn't it be more convenient to live in the palace? Once the herbs arrive, we can make the medicine right away."
The emperor also thought it made sense.
In his mind, although the bird was hateful, its idea was good.
Of course, the most important thing is that only Doctor Huo can cure the poison in his body. He is worried about living in the Prince's Mansion. After all, Doctor Huo has a strange personality and even treats people based on his mood. The emperor is worried that Doctor Huo will suddenly be in a bad mood one day and leave.
Then no one will help him detoxify.
The emperor thought of this and said quickly...
"Doctor Huo, the divine bird is right. You should stay in the palace. There are many rooms in the palace anyway. If I feel unwell, it will be convenient for me to find you."
Huo Xi wanted to meet up with his elder and second brothers, and knowing that they all lived in the palace, he naturally went with the flow and agreed without hesitation.
"Well, I thank the emperor."
"Yeah." Seeing this, the emperor finally felt relieved.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stepped forward with a flattering smile on his face and said...
"Father, I know you must be in a bad mood these days because of the poisoning. If you are really bored, you can let the divine bird accompany you and cheer you up."
"Father, let me tell you, the divine bird knows a lot of things. If it were to accompany you, you would definitely be much happier than usual."
Happy?
The emperor sneered and did not comment. This little bird was so talkative, calling him a dog emperor all the time. It would have been great if it didn't make him angry to death, and it also made him happy.
However, in order to maintain a good relationship with the miracle doctor, he nodded reluctantly and said to the bird...
"Divine Bird, can you stay in the Qianqing Palace and accompany me for a while?"
How many people would dream of such an honor?
The emperor was sure that the bird would agree to his request.
The bird stood on Huo Xi's shoulder. Hearing this, it tilted its head and glared at the emperor. It spoke in human language and asked in a shrill voice...
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want me to accompany you?"
"Master?" The emperor was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing. Although this little bird had a mean mouth, it was really funny. It actually called itself a master. Did it think of itself as a human?
The little bird was a little angry and couldn't help asking...
"What? Don't I deserve to be called a master?"
The emperor waved his hands quickly, holding back a smile and saying...
"No, no, no, match, match, match, Divine Bird, please don't be angry, don't be angry, I just couldn't help it for the moment."
The little bird said venomously: "The emperor is really heartless and broad-minded. He is about to die, but he still has the mind to laugh at others here."
The smile on the emperor's face froze immediately.
The bird smiled triumphantly. The dog emperor wanted to fight it? He was still a little naive.
Its eyes rolled around, and then it stretched out its paws in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I can play with you, but I have to charge you one thousand taels of silver a day."
"How about it? Do you want to do it or not?"
When everyone heard this, they were speechless: "......"
As the saying goes, things resemble their owners. The little bird and the miracle doctor are both obsessed with money. They ask for money all the time. They are so materialistic.
The emperor did not hesitate at all, nodded and said: "Okay, I will buy you for ten days, a total of 10,000 taels of silver."
Then, he turned to his personal eunuch and said...
"Eunuch Zhang, go get 10,000 taels of silver for the divine bird."
"I obey your command." Eunuch Zhang agreed, turned around and walked out, and quickly brought 10,000 taels of silver to Xiaoniao, and deliberately said...
"Divine Bird, this is 10,000 taels of silver, you must count it carefully."
He wanted to see how the bird counted the silver bills, so he took loose change, a large stack of ten thousand taels of silver.
Unexpectedly, the bird took the banknotes and stuffed them into its arms. The thick stacks of banknotes disappeared in its arms. Everyone was stunned.
The bird doesn't have a lot of hair on its body.
Where on earth was such a thick stack of banknotes hidden?
Everyone looked confused.
The bird smiled and said, "No need to count. I trust the emperor. The emperor will never ruin his reputation for a mere 10,000 taels of silver."
Eunuch Zhang: "...Ahaha, the divine bird is right."
Well, the bird wasn't fooled, and all the efforts were in vain.
Unexpectedly, I heard the bird say...
"Your Majesty, one thousand taels of silver is the price you rent me for. What about my young master's? How much do you give him?"
Everyone was confused and didn't know what the bird meant by this?
The emperor was also confused and asked...
"Sacred Bird, what do you mean?"
The bird said of course...
"I am the pet of my little master. If you want to rent his pet, don't you have to pay the little master?"
Everyone looked at each other in shock when they heard this.
They were all thinking, didn’t the emperor just promise to give one thousand taels of silver a day?
Why do I have to pay?
The emperor reacted and asked quickly, "Divine Bird, didn't I just promise to give you 1,000 taels of silver a day? Why do you need to pay more?"
The bird tilted its head and spoke clearly, word for word: "The one thousand taels of silver is the money you gave me, not for the young master. The young master's expenses will be charged separately. Do you understand?"
Only then did everyone suddenly realize.
At the same time, they felt that the little bird was as smart as a ghost and was even better at calculating accounts than humans.
The emperor nodded and said helplessly: "I understand."
The little bird was deliberately blackmailing him.
But it doesn't matter. After all, he is the emperor and can afford such a small amount of money.
The bird patted Hoshi with its claws and said in a shrill voice...
"Young Master, did you hear that? The Emperor said he wants to rent me. Ask him for the money right away."
Huo Xi looked up at the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, how much can you pay me per day?"
The emperor said: "Just like the divine bird, the transfer fee for the divine bird is one thousand taels of silver per day. What do you think?"
Huo Xi nodded and said, "Okay, it's a deal."
In this way, the bird was rented to the emperor of Dayao Kingdom at the price of one thousand and two taels of silver a day. The news quickly spread throughout the palace like the wind.
All of a sudden, everyone found excuses to come to the Qianqing Palace to see the novelty.
The emperor was already in a bad mood due to being poisoned, and now he was even worse. So when he was about to send someone to drive it away, the bird volunteered and said in a shrill voice...
"Your Majesty, leave this little matter to me. I will help you drive them away."
"Oh, are you okay?" The emperor looked up at it and asked curiously...
"By the way, how are you going to drive them away?"
The bird flapped its wings and said shrilly...
"My young master, I will use courtesy first and force later. If persuasion doesn't work, I will just throw them out of the palace."
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Most of the people who came to see the strange scene were concubines in the harem. They felt fearless because they relied on the emperor's usual favor.
However, the emperor at this time was poisoned and in a very bad mood. He didn't care about the beauty. As long as she offended him, he would kill her.
So, he nodded and said...
"Okay, let's go."
"Okay." The bird agreed, flapped its wings and flew away.
Qianqing Palace, the main gate.
The place was filled with all kinds of seductively dressed women.
Rather than saying that they came to see something novel, it would be more accurate to say that they came to look for an opportunity to encounter the Emperor.
It’s just that the encounter requires an excuse, and I happened to be hit by a bird.
The most dazzling and beautiful woman in the crowd said with a worried look on her face: "I heard that the emperor was poisoned. I am really worried about him. I don't know how he is now."
"Don't worry, Concubine. It is said that Doctor Huo's bird is with the Emperor. The Emperor will be fine."
"Yes, I heard that this little bird is very smart and even knows medical skills. With it by the emperor's side, the emperor will definitely be fine."
Just as they were discussing, a little bird flew over from midair and said to them in a shrill voice...
"How dare you, you dogs and slaves, knowing that the emperor is unwell, yet you still dare to come here to harass him. What is your intention?"
Suddenly a little bird flew over and spoke in human language, which scared the concubines.
However, they soon realized that this talking bird must be Doctor Huo's pet.
