Emperor, "Give it to him as a calming gift after the scare."
The Crown Prince with an indescribable tone, "Son believes Minister Zhou was not frightened."
On the contrary, the way Minister Zhou cherishes his life resembles none less than His Majesty's own care.
The Emperor, very pleased, "Even so, give it to him. Those silver notes are his due, but don't waste the poisoned ones either, you know what to do."
The Crown Prince smiled, "Yes, Father understands."
At the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shuren asked Jingyan, "You say the silver notes are poisoned?"
Jingyan, "Yes, they will take effect in three months, initially rendering the person unconscious and resulting in silent, undetectable death after half a month. The poison belongs to a range of secret medicines."
Zhou Shuren stroking his beard, "Secret medicine, seems I'm indeed worth the investment!"
