I took away the bottle of suspectedthe nose with the smell of sulfur; Heaven knohat kind of poison it really is I really ‘ad her own sonperiod, as this kind of poison will gradually accumulate in the hu poison The E, so I can tell with almost 100 certainty that the accumulated toxins had reached a critical level and flared up I really don't know if ancient peoples were extraordinarily lacking in medical kno, or if the Empress wanted her son's life
It's fortunate that it was detected early on Mercury poisoning is very troublesoative affect on the stoht even affect kidney function If it had been any later, I'm afraid that the future of this dynasty would be in jeopardy
A way to purge the mercury fro little boy
I began to get awfully busy the following days,back, so the Court is thea victory banquet to welcome him Apparently everyone is of the opinion to throw caution to the wind, as gaining such a great victory should be celebrated without restraint; doing that would just to so happen to boost the ood opportunity to broadcast the prestige of the nation Even the Minister of Rites Gu Yunzhi's opposing party is awfully busy
As I was preoccupied, I thought of the custoed victorious, they set up a triumphal arch for their return ceremony Isn't this just that?
As the E court was temporarily suspended There was still the daily need for all of the ether and coordinate governmental affairs between the six departments, but no matter that, I at least didn't need to wake up just before dawn to hurry to the palace for court That's no way for so-up-yet-still-cold period of ti further under the war to what I' outside in the thin reatly enjoyableis that weirdo Yao Jinzi, who gets up at an even earlier time to practice his ht in fro me awake
Thankfully, his body is always very war in his arularlyabout Jinzi isn't super easy His y did he spend on that? How can he get up so early every day, whether rain or shi+ne, so easily, when I regard that as a forift, when in reality there's no way a lack of hard work could give results
The little E more welco to learn martial arts with Jinzi because he wanted to learn stuff to protect himself with as soon as possible? Poor kid
Whether that's really how it is or not, it'll at least give me more mental balance I just think of it as if Jinzi and I have a child – the child favoring the dad more than the mom would make me heartsick In this life, I can't have my own kids – I'm not too sorry about that Even if I found a wolian's bloodline that gets passed down, and it wouldn't feel likethe Emperor as my own instead, y'know?
This child is very fearsome, however I still rened cordiality to ask me why I didn't conani about how he had then been listening to his Mother Euard towards me, I really have to adrow into wise-ruler material
Was his Mother Elian? Did the little E about it?
Ay, my head hurts
When I went to see the little Eht hi top, and he liked it immensely He's probably never played with a toy like this before
I've since instructed Eunuch wang to replace the curtains and mattress in the Emperor's chareenery and a few bits of decoration They add a lot of liveliness, and it looks much better, too As for the attendants, I also co the replace eunuch who I'd spoken up for after he'd spilled tea, and the intelligent eunuch who had stood at the door as was selectively blind to us I personally saw to the selection of the h I'ent
The E a bit of intestinal troubles today I stayed with hi him to sleep before I returned home
Today is the earliest I've ever been able to come home in this life, as it's still only 3 or 5 pe project that I'd been wanting to do but hadn't had tirasp on the financial state of this residence
The sheer size of this undertaking would surely make even secretaries of the Ministry of Revenue like Liu Chunxi shrink back in terror For full understanding, please refer to thein Dream of the Red Chalian is only newand Ning ones, and it lacks the familial conitude of its many affairs aren't any lesser
Furthermore, the account books of antiquity are recorded like a stream of water; there's no debit or credit or even a balance sheet, so I can only go through it slowly
It's almost impossible for me to peruse it all in one afternoon I can only take a look at the income and expenses from all of last year
Between my farmsteads and fiefdoms for the year, the inco total The everyday expenses of the Residence are 20,000-sos on social interactions are also a large aht her a string of Southern pearls for 4,000 In any case, this guy see it a wanton and wastefulfour piebald horses to pull his carriage, and spend 67,000 liang for all of thehu people headed by Tian Chun and Zhu Xianxi also cost a pretty penny The two of the a month each while the others are a bit less, at 50, 100, 300, resulting in between 50-60,000 liang a year With that kind of generous pay, it's little wonder that these people look after Zhang Qinglian's ho the statuses of martial arts experts
In this fashi+on, I'm much, much less of a spendthrift
In these two months where it'd switched over to me, the expenses really were a lot less There were scarcely any added expenditures, as I hadn't even bought a single piece of new clothing forfor all of this last month was less than 2,000, and combined with those home-protectors it was 5,000
The Residence houses a hundred-odd maids, domestics, and boy servants The ht, but even so, the little costs of their upkeep and others' salaries adds up over the , with so The chef and bookkeeper's , and Luo Yaozu now rakes in 12 eachto this place's precedent I had explained to Jinfeng that he'd have a 20 liang monthly allowance, and he didn't want it Hmph, he'll eat my food and wear ave hihty act? Unpleasant brat
What's odd is that Jinzi has never withdrawn a single coin from the accounts office Does he have his own one?
I know that Zhang Qinglian's proper income is what's on the books, so the embezzlement and bribery money must not be in the same chunk He must have some specialized little account book for it, but I don't knohere it would be
