Bai Qingyan took a tassel pillow with double blessings embroidered in gold and placed it behind Bai Jinxiu, then sat down to carefully read the procurement list sent by Bai Jinxiu for the King Liang’s residence.
“King Liang’s residence didn’t procure anything like yellow lead or pine resin; they only bought a large amount of saltpeter. My steward has inquired about it… The procurement officer at the King Liang’s residence said that King Liang wants to make ice sculptures to please the Emperor, which is why they bought so much saltpeter!” Bai Jinxiu propped her elbow on the small table and leaned closer to Bai Qingyan. “Eldest Sister, I suspect that the yellow lead and pine resin… King Liang’s residence had the Wang family in Jiuqu Alley procure those items!”
“Did you send someone to investigate?” Bai Qingyan asked.
“Yes, I sent someone. We should be getting a report soon!” Bai Jinxiu said, frowning. “If King Liang is really making elixirs for the Emperor, how do you plan to use this, Eldest Sister, so I can be prepared?”
“There’s no need to act for now. King Liang is highly favored at the moment. If we bring this to light now, even if the Emperor punishes King Liang openly, he will still compensate him in secret. There is no benefit to us,” Bai Qingyan said.
Soon, the procurement list from the Wang family for the past few months was also delivered.
