After being yelled at by Gu Qi Sha, the old steward had no choice but to silently follow Han Yunxi's orders. Han Yunxi appeared to be unyielding, but her tense nerves were finally able to relax.
She was more surprised by this outcome than anyone else.
She had set such a high price in the beginning to prevent Gu Qi Sha from haggling too much. Who would have thought that Gu Qi Sha would agree to her terms with just a few words? She had been quite nervous before coming here, afraid that Long Fei Ye would not be able to bring his shadow guards with him and would end up in a fight.
But in the end, it was just a battle of words. In the end, she won half of Pill Fiend Valley without actually using force.
She sat down to drink some tea, her heart calming down. She felt that Gu Qi Sha's attitude was a little off, but after thinking about it, she could not find anything wrong with it.
She was too lazy to think too much about it. After all, claiming compensation was just a pretense. She admitted that she was here to be a bandit! Even if Gu Qi Sha was scheming something by giving up half of the Medicine Ghost Valley so easily, she still dared to accept it.
After mentally preparing herself, Han Yunxi remained calm.
She wondered what Long Fei Ye was thinking about this outcome. At this moment, he was sipping his tea with great interest and casually poured a cup for Han Yunxi.
Gu Qi Sha sat far away, unmoving as he stared at Han Yunxi. His long and narrow eyes blinked as if he was scheming something.
Han Yunxi glanced at the wound on his shoulder and did not say anything, allowing him to stare. However, after a long time, Gu Qi Sha still continued to stare. Han Yunxi finally could not take it anymore and glared at him. "Do you want to die? Why aren't you applying medicine? "
Does this guy really not care about his life? The wound on his shoulder is not light, doesn't he know that he should treat it first?
"I won't die!" Gu Qi Sha replied darkly.
Han Yunxi could not be bothered with him. She sat down with Long Fei Ye for a while before the old steward delivered a detailed report of the investigation. The report included all the medicinal ingredients requested by the people outside and their estimated prices.
Han Yunxi flipped through the report but did not look at it in detail. She calmly said, "Every medicinal ingredient is priced at five hundred taels. Sell them all now."
The old steward could not take it anymore. "Esteemed Princess Consort, you can't do this! Even the most worthless medicine here is worth at least a few thousand taels! Five hundred taels … You might as well just give them all away! "
Han Yunxi coldly, "Princess Consort? Since when did your master start being a vegetarian? "
Gu Qi Sha said generously, "I can afford it. I'll give it all to you!"
However, he was to give it to her to say, "Princess Conan's Princess Cona half of the profits. I, if you's, then, I, I, to, I, to you, give me the medicine Ghost to give them all.
I won't stop you! "Gu Qi Sha could not afford to be generous. The medicine in his courtyard could be considered the cream of the crop in Medicine Ghost Valley. Even if he was in a good mood, he would not easily sell them, let alone give them away!
So, he coldly smiled. "Little girl, are you really planning to sell this old man's medicine for money?"
"This medicine doesn't belong to you anymore. Half of it belongs to me!" Han Yunxi immediately retorted.
"Then you're stealing this old man's medicine!" Gu Qi Sha seemed to enjoy bickering with her.
"Who told you to fake it! You're compensating me for it! "Han Yunxi loudly retorted.
"You keep saying that you want to save people, but you're selling medicine? If this old man is despicable, then you're just a hypocrite! "Gu Qi Sha scolded.
Han Yunxi coldly smiled. "Who said that saving people doesn't require money?" Han Yunxi very seriously retorted. "Without money, how can this princess save people? Without money, how can I buy land and open a medicine hall? How can I hire people to buy medicine? How can I pay for the transportation, storage, and future expenses of such a large valley? Those who come to Medicine Ghost Valley to ask for medicine are mostly rich people! Neither you nor I print money, so why shouldn't we take their money? "
When the poor fell ill, they would usually go to a small medical hall for treatment. If they could be cured, that would be fine. If they couldn't, what else could they do? Just continue to treat them! Drag it out. Those who dragged it out were considered lucky. At the very least, they could survive. Those who couldn't would die of illness.
Which doctor would be so naive as to prescribe rare and precious medicine to the poor? How many poor people knew of the existence of Medicine Ghost Valley? How many of them could find their way to Medicine Ghost Valley? Those who could beg to go to Medicine City were already very rare.
Therefore, most of the people who came to Gu Qi Sha's place were from wealthy families. They had found a famous doctor to prescribe famous medicine and had been guided to this place by others. Most of the patients in their families had spent large amounts of money on medicine to keep them alive. That was why they had the time to kneel here for so long.
Han Yunxi had the heart of a doctor and the heart of a parent. A doctor should be righteous, but she wasn't a kind-hearted person. She definitely wouldn't spend her days doing charity work.
With her sharp eyes, she could tell that some of the people kneeling in the courtyard were hired to ask for medicine and not the actual family members of the patients.
As for Gu Qi Sha, he grew his own medicine and carefully took care of the herbs he obtained from other places. If he sold them at a sky-high price, Han Yunxi wouldn't have anything to say and would just let him do whatever he wanted.
However, this guy wasn't selling medicine at all. To put it bluntly, he was purposely hoarding medicine so that the patients would die!
Han Yunxi couldn't stand this kind of thing. Even if she had to be a bandit, she would still sell the Medicine Ghost Valley's herbs!
Gu Qi Sha didn't care what she wanted money for. He asked suspiciously, "You want to open a medicine hall?"
Han Yunxi didn't answer, but looked towards Long Fei Ye instead. "Your Highness, chenqie has something to ask of you."
Ask him for help? That's an interesting way to put it.
"How are you planning to ask your lordship?" Long Fei Ye asked.
Han Yunxi was at a loss for words. She knitted her brows and looked at him. "Your Highness!"
Long Fei Ye was in a good mood and laughed out loud. "What is it? Say it."
Gu Qi Sha's dark eyes glanced over before he rolled his eyes disdainfully. Still, he pricked up his ears to listen. What could this girl possibly want from Long Fei Ye?
"Chenqie wants Your Highness to help me find a piece of land in the capital city. It's best if it's a big one. Chenqie wants to open a large medicine hall," Han Yunxi said seriously.
Every inch of land in Tianning's capital city was worth its weight in gold. As soon as a piece of land was put up for sale, it would sell for sky-high prices! Sometimes, even sky-high prices wouldn't be enough. In any case, one not only needed a lot of silver, but also a lot of face to secure the deal. No wonder Han Yunxi had asked Long Fei Ye for help.
Long Fei Ye thought it over, then said, "Your lordship does have a courtyard that's been abandoned for a long time. It should be of a suitable size. Once we get back, I'll have Steward Luo find someone to rebuild it. "
Other people couldn't buy land, but this guy actually left his courtyard in Tianning's capital city? Han Yunxi rejoiced. "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Gu Qi Sha had many properties in Tianning's capital city as well, so it wasn't difficult for him to clear out a piece of land. However, it wasn't abandoned, so he had to clear it out. Once he did, it would definitely expose some of his secrets.
He arched an eyebrow at Long Fei Ye, his eyes filled with envy and jealousy!
"Gu Qi Sha, how about we call this medicine hall 'Pill Fiend Pharmacy?'" Han Yunxi asked.
Gu Qi Sha never expected Han Yunxi to ask for his opinion. His eyes flashed with amusement, but his attitude remained unfriendly. "What are you scheming against this old man this time?"
"In the future, Medicine Ghost Valley's medicine can only be sold through Pill Fiend Pharmacy. This place will only grow medicine, not sell it!" Han Yunxi replied.
Gu Qi Sha laughed coldly. "Are you trying to trap this old man here?"
"Pill Fiend Pharmacy welcomes you at any time. If you want to stand at the counter and sell medicine, no one will stop you," Han Yunxi said.
Gu Qi Sha was waiting for Han Yunxi to say those exact words! He looked at her without a word, but in his heart, he muttered softly, Han Yunxi, you smart, silly girl!
Long Feiye sat on one side, watching everything with his eyes, ears, and heart. He didn't bat an eyelid.
Seeing the old steward still standing there, Han Yunxi knitted her brows. "What are you spacing out for? If you delay any longer, someone's going to die! "
If she had arrived earlier and obtained Medicine Ghost Valley's medicine, perhaps the unconscious man outside wouldn't have to suffer the pain of losing his wife.
"Yes, yes! This little one will go right away! "
The old steward suddenly didn't hate this princess consort as much. He even began to look forward to the day when Pill Fiend Pharmacy would open for business.
The old steward brought a group of people with him and carried a large pile of medicinal ingredients. Just as he left the courtyard, he heard a commotion outside.
After a while, Han Yunxi and the rest heard all sorts of words of gratitude from inside the room.
Han Yunxi had originally planned to leave, but she couldn't help staying a little longer. She walked into the courtyard and peeked through the crack in the door. She saw that the sad and mournful faces were filled with joy, hope, and joy. She couldn't help smiling as well.
There were countless injuries and illnesses in this world, and there was no way to cure all of them. However, she couldn't just ignore those she saw, right?
She believed that after these people bought the herbs, they would quickly spread the news that Pill Fiend Valley was selling herbs. When that time came, she would have to adjust the price of the herbs. Some herbs should be sold at sky-high prices, but they should still be sold at sky-high prices!
Although Long Fei Ye had plenty of money for her to squander, Long Fei Ye probably had a lot of people under him. His expenses were high and would only grow larger in the future. Han Yunxi didn't want her heart as a doctor to drag Long Fei Ye down. Moreover, doing charity needed to be a source of income. Only with a virtuous cycle could it last.
Of course, Han Yunxi didn't really want to take advantage of Gu Qi Sha. She planned to wait until Pill Fiend Pharmacy was completed before asking Gu for help. She would have him persuade Mu Ling 'er to come to Pill Fiend Pharmacy. After that, she would split the money with Mu Ling' er as her commission.
From what she knew, Mu Ling 'er was still being hunted down by Medicine City's Council of Elders because of what happened at the empress dowager's birthday banquet. From time to time, people would go to the Mu Residence to ask for her. Mu Ling' er hadn't shown her face in Medicine City for a year and the mistress of the Mu Clan, who was in charge of the finances, had long cut off Mu Ling 'er's source of income.
She really didn't know what that girl had been doing for the past year and how she had survived.
Thinking up to here, Han Yunxi recalled how Mu Ling 'er had stopped the carriage and cursed at her. She had no way of explaining this misunderstanding to Mu Ling' er, so she could only rely on Gu!
Seeing Han Yunxi smile so happily, Gu Qi Sha grinned as well. What medicinal ingredients, what silver, what amount of compensation, none of that mattered to him anymore.
After Han Yunxi and Long Fei Ye left, Gu Qi Sha said to the old steward, "Remember, from now on, call Han Yunxi 'mistress'!"
The old steward couldn't help but roll his eyes. He said seriously, "Master, this isn't appropriate!"
"How is it inappropriate?" Gu Qi Sha asked.
"This … this is akin to taking liberties with Qin Wangfei!" The old steward was very honest. He called His Excellency Pill Fiend 'master', so if he called Qin Wangfei 'mistress', wouldn't that be taking advantage of her?
Gu Qi Sha snorted, "She took half of this daddy's Medicine Ghost Valley. If she's not the mistress of Medicine Ghost Valley, then what is she?"
"Yes, yes! This subordinate will keep it in mind! " The old steward could only reply half-heartedly. In any case, there was no way he could call her 'mistress' in front of Qin Wangfei and His Highness Duke of Qin.
