This palace comes back in this life, only to be Nian Shilan

Chapter 319: Unable to Move Forward 2

"Thirty thousand taels of silver?" Concubine Hua stopped writing.

"Yes, I heard that it was Doctor Zhang who filled the hole. The gambling house took people away, and if they didn't pay the money, they would lose an arm and a foot." Zhou Ninghai replied.

"Doctor Zhang is really straightforward. He is so involved in the affairs of my concubine's family. Isn't he afraid that Madam Zhang will be jealous?" Songzhi asked curiously from the side.

If there were only three of them, the master and the servant, in the room, there wouldn't be so many rules to follow when talking.

Songzhi also expressed what Concubine Hua was thinking.

"I heard that Madam Zhang had returned to her hometown to practice in seclusion, and now the concubine is in charge of Doctor Zhang's backyard." Zhou Ninghai suppressed his gossiping mood and tried to keep his tone calm. "I heard that Doctor Zhang is now over 50 years old, but he is still full of energy at night..."

The concubine was only seventeen years old, but she was harassing an old man who was more than thirty years older than her. Who could stand this?

If the concubine cries so much, I'm afraid that Zhang Mi's goatee will fall off out of heartbreak.

Songzhi was an inexperienced palace maid after all, and her face blushed when she heard Zhou Ninghai say this.

After hearing this, Concubine Hua secretly sighed inwardly that Doctor Zhang had great physical strength. She didn't know whether this continued strength was a natural advantage or an acquired one.

If this is acquired, why don't the emperor be treated as well, to prevent the harem from having few children? If the emperor gets pregnant with one, he will treat her like a gold nugget, which makes the queen feel unbalanced.

Hua Fei felt that she had misunderstood and quickly returned to the main topic: "How much silver can a royal doctor earn in a year? Add to that the ten thousand taels I gave you last time. Even if this royal doctor was blinded by lust, he was generous in his spending."

"I also secretly inquired about it, and found out that Doctor Zhang did pay 30,000 taels of silver to the gambling house in one go." Zhou Ninghai confirmed again.

If you say there is no trick here, I'm afraid Xiao Linglong won't believe it even if she hears it.

Just as he expected, Zhang Mi rebelled.

Hua Fei put down her brush, sat down, picked up the teacup, drank a sip of tea and thought quietly.

This concubine is really capable, as she can make Zhang Mi risk betraying her.

I'm afraid something happened in the concubine's family, the concubine forced Zhang Mi to take money, and Zhang Mi asked the queen for help. All this is not accidental.

Otherwise, the most generous palace in this palace is her Yikun Palace. If Zhang Mi is really short of money, why not just come to her Yikun Palace directly?

Why bother to be so stingy with the good queen?

It seems that the queen used some other means to control Zhang Mi.

"Your Majesty, the tea is cold. Let me get you a new one." The tea was served to Concubine Hua when she was writing just now. After talking for a while, it had become a little cold. Songzhi didn't want Concubine Hua to drink cold tea.

"It's okay. What's in your sleeve?" Concubine Hua looked up and saw that Zhou Ninghai's sleeve was bulging.

"I just passed by Baohua Palace and met a young eunuch burning scriptures inside. I helped him last time and he insisted on packing some tribute fruits for me." Zhou Ninghai took out a paper bag from his sleeve with a flattering smile.

He had to explain the reason quickly. This was not a bribe given to him by someone outside to please him.

Zhou Ninghai opened the paper package and held a few oranges in both hands and presented them to Concubine Hua.

Hua Fei took a quick glance and found that there were words on the paper holding the orange.

I'm afraid that the young eunuch took the wrong object when he took the oil paper and mixed it in.

Hua Fei thought the handwriting looked familiar, so she took it out and looked at it carefully.
