Chapter 837 It’s really high Finally, he stopped asking her and tiptoed out of the joy that started from last night was gradually replaced by doubt. What do you mean they are unworthy? Isn't it a good match? However, the time for the morning court session was approaching, and he had no time to think about it, so he just strode towards the front yard. - This morning. Prince's Mansion. The staff told the prince: "Your Highness, the starting price of Fufeng Restaurant is 10,000 taels. Because the price is not too high, there are more than ten buyers bidding at the same time. One of them is participating in the name of East Third Street. I think it is Miss Yan Er." The prince said, "The starting price of ten thousand taels is indeed not high. Fufeng Restaurant is well built, located in a good area, and has a high turnover. It is reasonable that there are many people bidding for it." "How much does Your Highness intend to contribute?" The prince sneered: "Of course the lower the price, the better, it would be best if it were 10,000 taels." In fact, it is best to get it without spending a penny. Unfortunately, the restaurant was registered under the name of a domestic servant, who committed a crime and was taken away by the Jingzhao Prefecture.

If he wants to take the restaurant back, he must go through this process. The staff frowned and said, "This is a bit difficult to handle. Ten thousand taels is the reserve price. There are many buyers at the same time, so the price will definitely go up. Your Highness, I think we need to come up with a budget." "If I bid in my own name, Jingzhao Prefecture might give me some face, but at the same time problems will arise, and the impact on my father will be bad." It would be even worse if it affected the position of crown prince. The staff came up with an idea: "I think we should let Jingzhao Prefecture know in due time that His Highness is actually interested in this restaurant. Of course, this does not mean telling Jingzhao Prefecture that the restaurant originally belonged to His Highness. Instead, we should start from another way and let Jingzhao Prefecture know that the buyer of the restaurant has some relationship with His Highness." "Yes." The prince nodded, "I can't look for a servant this time. I'll choose someone who has some relationship with me and can clear himself in time." The staff nodded: "It would be better if he had some background so that Jingzhao Prefecture could give him some respect." The prince pondered for a moment and said, "I thought of someone." As he spoke, he raised his hand and ordered the servant standing at the door to come over: "Go and call the concubine." After the servants left, the staff gave the prince a thumbs up and complimented him, "Your Highness is great, really great." "Cai Mushi is Prime Minister Cai's legitimate daughter, and now she is my concubine. If I bid in her name, Jingzhao Prefecture will not only consider Prime Minister Cai's face, but also my face." The prince spoke with great pride. The aide smiled and said, "That's right. If the restaurant can be successfully purchased, the profits will still belong to Your Highness, but the restaurant will nominally belong to the concubine." Not long after, Cai Mushi came over with graceful steps. "Your Highness, what is it that I am calling for?" She spoke in a soft voice and slowly walked to the side of the prince. "Your Highness's study, this is my first time here." The prince stretched out his arms, hugged the person and sat him on his lap. Upon seeing this, the staff member lowered his head, bowed, backed out of the study, and closed the door. Cai Mushi's fingertips gently stroked the prince's neck: "Your Highness?" The prince smiled and said, "Yan Funing participated in the bidding for the Fufeng Restaurant on Zhuque Street. She can do business. My concubine is smarter than her. I wonder if she can also do business?"

"Doing business?" Cai Mushi's heart skipped a beat. Why would the prince come to her for such a money-filled matter? She didn't show it on her face as she complained in her heart, and said with a smile: "I have never done business, but I can learn." The prince lifted her chin and said, "I am not saying that you must do business, but I want you to buy the restaurant first, and then let someone special handle the business." Cai Mushi felt relieved when she heard this, and said with a smile, "It's up to you, Your Highness." "Tomorrow Jingzhao Prefecture will hold an auction. You must buy Fufeng Restaurant at the lowest price." "Yes, Your Highness." - The Dong family at this moment. After a night of treatment, Dong Kuang's legs and arms were saved. Looking at his son's legs and arms in splints, Minister Dong asked the imperial physician, "Will his legs become lame as well?" He didn't want to ask about the hand. This time it was the left hand that was injured, and last time it was the right hand that was broken. After the bones in my right hand were broken and then reconnected, I can no longer write properly. Since my left hand can’t write, the worst that can happen is that I can ask the servants to take good care of it. The main problem is the legs. The doctor said frankly: "Your son's previous leg was already lame, and now the other leg is broken. Even if the bone grows back, he will still be lame." Dong Kuang was excited: "Quack, quack, how can Fu Nanyao's leg recover as usual? You must not be sincere in treating me!" The imperial physician frowned and said to Minister Dong, "I have been an imperial physician for many years and have never been called a quack. Lord Dong, please seek help from someone else. I will consider this night's work in vain." After saying that, he snorted and left. Minister Dong hurriedly chased after him, bowed deeply and said, "My son has behaved badly. I hope the imperial physician will calm down. I apologize." The imperial physician paused and shook his head: "Did your Dong family offend someone you shouldn't have offended? Last time, your hands and feet were broken, and this time, they were broken again. This happened twice, it can be said that all four limbs are broken. In the world, there is only one person like this, your son." Minister Dong smiled awkwardly and was unable to answer. The imperial physician shook his head again and left quickly. After watching the imperial physician walk away, Minister Dong returned to his son's room with a gloomy face. Seeing his wife sitting by the bed and crying, he was furious: "What's the point of crying at this time?" "My crying is useless?" Mrs. Dong raised her voice, "It would be useful for you to file a complaint with the emperor!" As she spoke, she gave her son a look. Dong Kuang understood, cried out "Ah!", closed his eyes and pretended to faint. Seeing this, Minister Dong, who had been undecided about whether to file a complaint with the emperor, now made up his mind. "I'll go and have a clear discussion with the Emperor to see if there is still law in the world." Having said that, he went back to his room to change into his official robes.

Because his son got into trouble, he asked someone to ask for leave for him this morning. Now his wife was fueling the fire, and he was getting more and more angry. After changing into his official robe, he entered the palace as quickly as possible. More than half an hour later, he met the emperor in the imperial study. "You took leave this morning, why are you here now?" The emperor was reviewing the memorials, glanced at him indifferently, and then reviewed the memorials again. "Your Majesty!" Minister Dong bowed, "I want to sue the King of Jin for defying the law and treating human life as worthless." Hearing about the King of Jin, the emperor put down his red pen and asked, "What happened?" "Yesterday at dinner time, the King of Jin brought his men to our house and beat my son half to death. His legs, feet and arms were all broken." The emperor said calmly: "Reason?" "Reason, reason..." Minister Dong lowered his voice, "It is said that Fu Nanyao is his daughter." "If I remember correctly, this Fu Nanyao is your son's ex-wife, right?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Her leg was broken by your son before." "Your Majesty, that's right." Minister Dong immediately defended, "The emperor has already punished our Dong family for breaking his leg, and our Dong family has already paid 10,000 taels of silver as compensation." "What do you want me to do?" "Your Majesty, I dare not. I just hope Your Majesty can say something fair." Minister Dong's attitude softened.
