For the sake of his two sons, he didn't care about his reputation anymore. He was begging Dongfang Ning to beg her, since that female emperor couldn't even compare to her.
He finally remembered the righteous side of Dongfang Ning and changed the target of her plea.
"Please let this subject see the empress, this subject begs you ~"
"..." "This subject is willing to give all the businesses under the Dongfang City as compensation for the medical fees."
Yan Wuzhan finally revealed a trace of a smile when he heard this.
"Esteemed Xiang, quickly get up. Actually, it doesn't matter if we, the empress, can save you or not. This matter …"
"Your Majesty, I beg of you! If you don't save those two children, I'm afraid they'll be crippled for the rest of their lives!"
As soon as he finished his sentence, Dongfang Ning's voice sounded.
"Yan Wuzhan, what are you arguing about in the middle of the night for? If it's so noisy, how are you going to sleep!"
"Greetings, Imperial Advisor. Imperial Advisor, please save my son. They had their legs broken today, if you don't save them now, it will be too late. Imperial Advisor ~"
Who is the Imperial Advisor, and who is this person?
"Ning'er, I woke you up. There are two patients in his house. They said they broke a leg. What do you think?"
"Break a limb?" "I don't have the tools right now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to perform this kind of major surgery without medical equipment …"
"Esteemed empress, as long as you help my two sons tie up their legs, anything you want is fine!"
"Is that true?"
"I will not lie!"
"But in half a month, everything you have will be lost to me. What will you use to pay for the consultation fee then?"
"…" Was she that sure of her victory?
Thinking about this, Xiang Canghai stopped talking again. What should I do? It seems like she doesn't want to be cured, begging the emperor is useless.
"How about this, I have some medicine here to protect their wounds from necrosis. You can use it for the sake of breaking their limbs and wounds. This medicine can prevent their injuries from worsening. You can bring up this matter after a month."
"Empress …" "This, this is probably …"
He raised his head and looked at Dongfang Ning's expressionless face. He helplessly stopped and continued to plead. It was all his daughter's fault for being so ignorant to offend this person. Dongfang Ning would immediately take up the matter when someone broke their leg.
She wanted him to beg her in his extreme despair. Since he was still hoping for a chance, then she would give him enough time to treat her. Other than her, no one else in the world dared to do so.
Xiang Canghai didn't have any other choice, he didn't know how to treat them. They said he didn't have any tools, but he could only temporarily save the injury for now. Besides, he still had a lot of famous doctors to ask of him during this month, right?
"Many thanks for Empress's words, this subject will definitely remember them ~"
"Xiang Canghai, you should go back. In the future, take good care of your own children. Don't do any more harmful things to others."
"This old official shall depart now. Long live the Emperor ~"
"I am about to get married. All the ministers have an objection to this matter. You decide. I would rather not marry Ning'er than this emperor, do you understand?"
"This official will take his leave."
Retreating out of the door, Xiang Canghai was a little confused and understood what Yan Wuzhan was saying.
"Yinyin must have stirred up some trouble again. Let's go back first and send someone to check if Yinyin did something to make her brother act like this!"
Xiang Family was a family with a hundred years of prestige in every country. When Yan Wuzhan said he wanted to let him think it through, he naturally wanted to use him to find out whose heart was on his side. If he didn't handle this well, then he would be dragged down the drain.
What happened to Dongfang Ning three years ago was too legendary, but it was all true. She would do something that no one would believe but they would have no choice but to believe. Could it be that he had spoiled Xiang Yinrong wrongly, and this daughter of his would cause him to lose everything in the end?
During this half month, Dongfang City were very lively. There were outsiders from all over the city, and most of them were here for the competition between Xiang Yinrong and Dongfang Ning.
Moreover, in half a month's time, it would be the Imperial Examinations, which were held once every three years. The students from various places had all gathered at Dongfang City, because Xiang Family had spread the news to the whole world.
"Li Songlin, didn't you say that you want to make money? You can open up the gambling house now. You're betting on Xiang Yinrong's 1: 1 win and on mine 1: 10 win. There's a lot of water in this."
"How do we gamble?" If my bet is right, then where do I get so much money to compensate them? "
"That's right, everyone take out one tael. There should be at least several million people in this Dongfang City, and after moving over from the mountain city, we even exempted three years of taxes. The current state treasury is simply not rich at all."
"I'm afraid Ning'er doesn't know. There have been countless calamities in the past three years. Many large mountains rose up from the ground, some of the seas turned into wastelands, and some of the mountains turned into oceans …" "Then, everywhere was a flood or a drought, and Yan Wuzhan didn't really care, but Yan Wuchen, wherever there was a disaster, just send people over. All of this would cost money, it would be great if he could be as rich as Heaven's End City."
The more they talked, the more out of place they became. They were initially talking about a bet, but now they had brought it up to the national economy.
"You young officials know your country very well. Aren't I helping you find a way to earn money?"
"Tell me for yourself. Whether Xiang Yinrong and I are more talented or not, there must be more people betting on her and less people betting on me. Is there still a problem?"
"It's because there are so many people betting on her that we can't afford to pay her!"
Huangfu City rolled his eyes. How could he not know about this debt? If others had not invested one tael, but several hundred, several thousand, several tens of thousands, or even more, he wouldn't be able to afford it even if he sold the country.
"Do you mean that I will definitely lose?"
All the money we have spent over the years has been used to build roads, build bridges, and raise soldiers. We can use it to raise two million as a foundation, but it's not a small amount of money for us now.
"Don't be nervous. You just need 1 tael of silver on hand. This is called 'empty-handed white wolf'. Just listen to me. If anyone wants to make a fortune, just bet it on me. I'll bet 10 million taels on myself!"
"10 million!"
This place was filled with Yan Wuzhan's true brothers. They were all conferred with titles, but their official positions were not big and they did not have a deep understanding of Dongfang Ning. Other than Li Songlin and Huangfu City who knew her better, everyone else was skeptical.
"So you're actually so rich!"

"Isn't Heaven's End City the same as hers? If it's not even 10 million, it's a drop in the bucket!"
"Sigh, I heard that Heaven's End City is filled with gold, it's fine as long as I can go take a look later. It's a pity that government affairs are haunting me, I can't go anywhere."
"I'll take this gamble. In any case, Yan Wuzhan will be holding the line if I lose. When others know that the boss is the emperor, hahahaha, they definitely won't come to ask for money!"
"There is another detail. This kind of bet will not lose money. Do you know where the details are?"
"Esteemed empress, hurry up and say it, we can't wait!"
