Chapter 132

Li Li Lianhua looked at the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Liu expectantly!

Having spent so much of his time and taken out sixteen Beauty-Preserving Pills, how much labor fee should the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Liu give him?

You know, he had given the Emperor three Beauty-Preserving Pills before, and the Emperor rewarded him with 130,000 taels of silver for the medicine.

Calculating it this way, one Beauty-Preserving Pill was worth more than 40,000 taels of silver!

Calculating these sixteen Beauty-Preserving Pills, wouldn't it be more than 600,000 taels of silver?

Of course, Li Li Lianhua shook his head, understanding that this was impossible!

After all, those three Beauty-Preserving Pills were given directly by him; these Beauty-Preserving Pills were materials collected by Imperial Concubine Liu and the others themselves, and all he provided were some labor fees!

"Divine Physician Li..." After checking carefully, there were indeed sixteen Beauty-Preserving Pills, and Imperial Concubine Liu was very satisfied.

Then she looked at Li Li Lianhua and said: "These sixteen Beauty-Preserving Pills of yours make this palace very satisfied!"

"These days, Divine Physician Li has worked hard!"

"Divine Physician Li is not a person of the Great Ming, but because of these Beauty-Preserving Pills, you have stayed in the capital for many days!"

"However, I am a person of the harem after all, and the silver I can mobilize is not much, so for these sixteen Beauty-Preserving Pills, I and my sisters have pooled together, and can only come up with 360,000 taels of silver as a consultation fee!"

"I hope Divine Physician Li will not mind!"

Hearing what Imperial Concubine Liu said, Li Li Lianhua’s eyebrows raised slightly!

Originally, hearing those words before, Li Li Lianhua thought that maybe this Imperial Concubine Liu would just give him a labor fee of a hundred thousand taels to send him away?

To tell the truth, staying here for less than a month and earning a labor fee of over a hundred thousand was indeed not a small amount!

After all, the materials for refining the Beauty-Preserving Pills were all provided by others!

But he didn't expect that the situation would turn around! 360,000 taels of silver as a consultation fee?

Calculating this, for one Beauty-Preserving Pill, they gave a price of more than 20,000 taels of silver!

Although it was about half less than what the Emperor gave, they provided the materials.

And, selling them for 360,000 taels of silver in one breath, for Li Li Lianhua, this definitely belonged to a high price!

"Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for the reward, thank you, Your Majesty!" Satisfied in his heart, Li Li Lianhua had a smile on his face and thanked Imperial Concubine Liu and the Emperor respectively!

Although logically he should thank the Emperor first, who made these concubines in the harem, led by Imperial Concubine Liu, the ones who paid?

"My beloved concubine, you all are really rich!" Although it was a joint payment by a group of concubines, 360,000 taels of silver still made the Emperor’s eyebrows jump.

For the first time, he felt that these women in the harem were really rich!

"Your Majesty, just us sisters, how could we come up with so much money? Even the materials needed to refine the Beauty-Preserving Pills couldn't be collected!"

"Didn't we also seek help from our maiden families?"

"Besides, although the money is not small, the Beauty-Preserving Pill is worth more than its price!"

"If this Beauty-Preserving Pill were placed outside, and called for 100,000 taels, I guess someone would buy it, right?" Hearing Zhu Zhu Houzhao’s jealous words, Imperial Concubine Liu smiled slightly and explained!

These words made Zhu Zhu Houzhao nod silently!

Indeed, so much money, he didn't pay it, and relying only on these concubines to pay it was not enough.

So, the maiden families of these concubines in the harem all contributed!

Besides, these concubines in the harem, if their beauty doesn't fade, the one who gets the benefit is also him, right?

He couldn't be the one whose beauty doesn't fade, while the concubines in the harem are all growing old, right?

For Li Li Lianhua, the conversation between the Emperor and the concubines in the harem was naturally not something he was interested in.

Therefore, after confirming that he would be given a consultation fee of 360,000 taels of silver, Li Li Lianhua bid farewell!

The amount of 360,000 taels of silver was not small, and Imperial Concubine Liu and the others had appropriately exchanged it into gold for him!

It didn't matter; gold was also equivalent when he exchanged it!

After leaving the palace, Li Li Lianhua calculated in his heart.

In these days, dignitaries came to him for medical treatment, and he got more than 100,000 taels of silver in consultation fees.

Plus this time’s 360,000. Now, the amount of consultation fees he possessed had reached as high as 520,000 taels or so!

Looking again at the consultation fee he needed to exchange for a treasure chest now, it had reached as high as 250,000 taels of silver each!

Li Li Lianhua’s face was a bit dark!

Silently complaining in his heart, the price needed for this treasure chest exchange was getting more and more expensive!

If the price continued to rise like this, wouldn't he need 1 million, or even 10 million taels of silver for one treasure chest in the future?

Calculating this way, he was not far from the point where he couldn't exchange for treasure chests in the end!

Shaking his head, after Li Li Lianhua returned to the Lotus Building, he prepared to exchange and see!

520,000 taels of silver, should be enough for him to exchange for two treasure chests, right?

"Woof woof!" However, before Li Li Lianhua could take action, suddenly, the fox spirit at the door barked twice!

Immediately after, a familiar voice sounded outside the door.

"Is Divine Physician Li at home?"

Hearing the sound, Li Li Lianhua temporarily suppressed the thought of opening the treasure chest in his heart, walked to the door and looked, only to see Shangguan Shangguan Haitang standing at the door!

"Miss Shangguan Haitang, all is well, right?" Li Li Lianhua showed a smile and greeted Shangguan Shangguan Haitang!

Before, when he collected the consultation fee at the Dragon-Protecting Villa, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang knew that he had taken away those consultation fees like a magic trick.

At that time, Li Li Lianhua also said that this was a small secret between the two of them, and told Shangguan Shangguan Haitang not to tell others!

Don't say, although Li Li Lianhua and the Iron-Clad Marquis were almost tearing their faces apart now.

However, having a small secret between them, relatively speaking, their relationship was a bit closer than ordinary people.

"Divine Physician Li, all is well!" Hearing Li Li Lianhua’s greeting, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang also clasped her fists and saluted, looking generous and decent!

Guests are guests; Li Li Lianhua invited Shangguan Shangguan Haitang into the Lotus Building and personally brewed a pot of Enlightenment Ancient Tea for her!

"Divine Physician Li, what is this creature of yours?" Arriving at the Lotus Building, after Shangguan Shangguan Haitang looked around, her gaze was also attracted by the two large and small Den Den Mushi!

Creatures that didn't belong to this world looked very strange!

In order to wait for the Beauty-Preserving Pills to be sent out, Li Li Lianhua waited for half a month, so this Den Den Mushi mother had actually given birth to a small Den Den Mushi a few days ago!

"This, a strange creature of mine, called Den Den Mushi!" Li Li Lianhua explained casually!

"Den Den Mushi? What a strange name!" Curiously looking at the Den Den Mushi that looked like a snail but was in a deep sleep, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang muttered in a low voice.

"Miss Shangguan Haitang, please drink tea!" At this time, the tea had been brewed, and Li Li Lianhua reached out and gestured for her to drink!

Regarding the detailed functions of the Den Den Mushi, Li Li Lianhua didn't intend to explain so much!

After all, he didn't have the intention of giving a Den Den Mushi to Shangguan Shangguan Haitang, so why explain so much?

"Good!" She just felt that the appearance of the Den Den Mushi was a bit strange, so she paid more attention to it for a moment!

Hearing what Li Li Lianhua said, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang sat down in front of him!

"What a fragrant tea!" Smelling the tea fragrance coming to her nose, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang widened her eyes, and a look of amazement appeared on her face.

While speaking, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The effect of this Enlightenment Ancient Tea also shocked Shangguan Shangguan Haitang!

"Divine Physician Li, what kind of tea is this? Shangguan Haitang considers herself to have tasted quite a bit of tea, but has never tasted such immortal tea!" Putting down the teacup, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang asked Li Li Lianhua with shining eyes!

It was not just this Enlightenment Ancient Tea that made Shangguan Shangguan Haitang feel amazed.

More importantly, Divine Physician Li and her godfather, the Iron-Clad Marquis, were very much at odds, but he was still willing to take out such good tea to entertain her?

"This tea is called Enlightenment Ancient Tea; after drinking it, it can make people clear-headed, and more importantly, it can improve a person’s comprehension; I don't have much of this tea left!" Li Li Lianhua explained a sentence and followed up!

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang’s gaze fell on the tea canister on the side, and she opened the tea canister to look at it by some strange chance!

Sure enough, there wasn't much tea left in the canister!

"Divine Physician Li, thank you for the hospitality!" Such good tea, and there was only a little bit left, but Li Li Lianhua still took it out to entertain her, which made Shangguan Shangguan Haitang incomparably moved!

"No need to thank me; Miss Shangguan Haitang helped me keep a secret, so I should also thank Miss Shangguan Haitang!" Hearing this, Li Li Lianhua smiled slightly and said indifferently!

It was indeed indifferent; it had been some days since the tea canister was opened, and he had waited here for another half a month!

Counting the time, it was estimated that in four or five days, the Enlightenment Ancient Tea in the tea canister would be refreshed.

So, at this time, the tea was almost at the bottom, wasn't this normal?

"By the way, Miss Shangguan Haitang, what brings you here?"

After the two drank a few cups of tea, one cup after another, although Li Li Lianhua guessed the purpose of Shangguan Shangguan Haitang coming to find him, he still pretended to know nothing and asked Shangguan Shangguan Haitang!

"Divine Physician Li!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang put down the teacup in her hand and said: "I came here today on behalf of my godfather; he said, did you once ask Divine Physician Li to buy two Beauty-Preserving Pills?"

"Not bad, these are the two for the Marquis!" Hearing this, Li Li Lianhua nodded, took out the Beauty-Preserving Pills he had prepared long ago, and sent them to Shangguan Shangguan Haitang!

Although he and the Iron-Clad Marquis had almost torn their faces apart, the medicine money had been paid in advance, so Li Li Lianhua naturally wouldn't default on these two Beauty-Preserving Pills!

"Good!" Shangguan Shangguan Haitang nodded and put away the small bottle containing the two Beauty-Preserving Pills!

Logically speaking, after receiving these two Beauty-Preserving Pills, her purpose for this trip was accomplished!

However, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang, who had completed the task, did not leave, but instead looked hesitant and had no intention of leaving!

Looking at Shangguan Shangguan Haitang’s appearance, Li Li Lianhua laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to know nothing and said: "Miss Shangguan Haitang, is there anything else?"

"Divine Physician Li, this, this Beauty-Preserving Pill, I wonder..." Hearing this, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang was hesitant and looked very embarrassed!

"Miss Shangguan Haitang, you want to ask for a Beauty-Preserving Pill for yourself, right?" Looking at Shangguan Shangguan Haitang’s appearance, Li Li Lianhua could roughly guess her thoughts and asked directly!

The temptation of the Beauty-Preserving Pill to women is no less than your brother being able to grow a few centimeters longer.

Such temptation, really no one can stop it.

Shangguan Shangguan Haitang is also a woman, and now that she is so close to the Beauty-Preserving Pill, it is human nature for her to want one!

"No, it’s not asking for one, but Shangguan Haitang wants to ask Divine Physician Li, if there are any extra Beauty-Preserving Pills, Shangguan Haitang is willing to buy one!" Hearing what Li Li Lianhua said, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang hurriedly waved her hand and said!

Although she was only one of the four secret agents of the Dragon-Protecting Villa, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang was also in charge of the so-called First Villa in the World, so she could take out tens of thousands of taels of silver!

And how much silver her godfather spent for the two Beauty-Preserving Pills, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang also knew.

So, she was naturally willing to take money to buy one!

"To tell the truth, I don't have many Beauty-Preserving Pills left in my hand, but if Miss Shangguan Haitang wants one, of course, there is no problem!"

Someone willing to pay to buy the Beauty-Preserving Pill, Li Li Lianhua naturally wouldn't refuse the silver delivered to his door!

While speaking, Li Li Lianhua took out another one!

"Thank you, Divine Physician Li!" Seeing this, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang said with surprise.

After receiving the Beauty-Preserving Pill handed to her by Li Li Lianhua, at the same time, Shangguan Shangguan Haitang gave Li Li Lianhua a silver note!
