Chapter 912: Chapter 914 The Death of Jin Guifei (6)
Emperor Jin Ming commanded, "What sudden outburst of feeling? You are the prince appointed by I, the crown prince of the Great Jin Nation, how could you possibly be in such a sorry state? Talking nonsense, now get over here and apologize to your mother concubine!"
Upon hearing this, the Prince hurriedly crawled on his knees to the front of Jin Guifei’s couch, and while he kowtowed to her corpse, crying and apologizing, his heart burst with joy. His Imperial Father’s words were enough to confirm one thing—the Emperor had no intentions of changing his heir!
After Jin Guifei’s death, Emperor Jin Ming was greatly affected. Before Jin Guifei’s body was even properly encoffined, he fell ill!
Concubine Yao arranged for the palace concubines to take turns attending to the illness according to their rank. The concubines in the palace were very grateful to Concubine Yao. They all planned to leave a deep impression on the Emperor during their attendance to his illness, hoping to win his favor in the future, but that is another story.
Meanwhile, after learning of Jin Guifei’s demise, Cai Wei was in such a good mood that she enjoyed her breakfast heartily. After breakfast, she went with Zhao Yun, Chun Liu, and Auntie Liu to the flower room. The day before, she had left dozens of Ginseng plants there, ranging from hundred-year-old Ginseng to those of just ten years, all of high quality. Today, she was going to send all this Ginseng to her Ginseng Shop, to help it grow and prosper!
When Situ Changge saw the Ginseng brought by Cai Wei, he was so shocked that his eyeballs almost popped out. He picked up one after another of the hundred-year-old Ginseng and inspected them closely. When he realized that they were all high-quality wild mountain Ginseng, he was shocked once again.
"Boss, these are all..."
"I bought them from the north. There’s plenty of supply, just focus on selling. Our Mu Family Ginseng Shop will never run out of stock!"
"Yes!"
Master Situ respectfully answered and looked at Cai Wei with added reverence. It seemed that the new boss had even more connections than the former one. To casually take out more than twenty hundred-year-old Ginseng was like a feat of magic. Even the palace probably couldn’t produce so many at once!
After delivering the Ginseng, Cai Wei left with Zhao Yun, Chun Liu, and Auntie Liu under Master Situ’s complex gaze, calmly continuing to the street to look for a glass shop to open.
Walking on the bustling street, Cai Wei was intently searching for a suitable shop when she suddenly saw a crowd up ahead, densely packed and watching something.
"Let’s go have a look!"
Cai Wei, led by her maids and women, approached curiously. Before she even reached them, a burst of applause erupted from the crowd.
"Good!"
The sound seemed like the street performances she had seen on TV in her past life.
She made her way through the crowd and, sure enough, in the center of the crowd were two burly men. One was lying on the ground, his chest holding a large rectangular stone split in half, while the other stood beside him wielding a large hammer, apparently having just performed the feat of breaking the stone on his comrade’s chest.
Cai Wei had seen this trick in her own world and found nothing unusual about it. Although the stone and hammer looked imposing, in reality, because of the stone’s mass, it also had great inertia. Thus, when the hammer quickly struck down, the stone’s acceleration was minimal, reducing the impact on the person underneath and preventing injury.
Uninterested in such performances, Cai Wei was about to leave when she saw the man lying on the ground stand up. Both men, holding plates, went around the edge of the crowd collecting money and expressing their gratitude with clasped fists.
"Respected elders, we brothers are from Lin’an Prefecture. My brother served as a Protector in the house of a local gentry, Li Tieji. Unfortunately, Li Tieji’s Grain Storage was robbed overnight, leaving nothing behind. Li Tieji and his son falsely accused my brother of colluding with bandits and stealing their grain. My brother was beaten half to death in jail and, unable to endure the torture, confessed under duress. He was sentenced to be beheaded after autumn. In light of my brother’s wrongful death, we specifically came to the Capital to submit an Imperial appeal. We ran out of money and had to perform to survive. Those who can give, please support us with Money, and those who can’t, support us with your presence. We brothers thank you all..."
