Chapter 1078 Purple Heart Grass

After dinner, I went home with everyone else, while Raphael and Little Betty were left in the palace, waiting for the next instructions from the big bosses.

When they got home, Yura couldn't wait to say: "Tell me, how did you invite the first doctor?"

Looking at her, she looked as frantic as if the paparazzi had discovered the big news. I couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You have to wait for me to change my clothes."

Only then did Yura realize that not only was I tired, but my clothes were also a little wrinkled. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are your clothes so sloppy?"

“I forgot to take off my clothes when I went to bed.”

Barbara wrinkled her little nose and sniffed, and said: "There is also a strong smell of alcohol? Xiaoyi! You drank!"

"Ah, I drank some." I said, spreading my hands: "Oh, I can't help it, we are all friends, we can't refuse."

Barbara sniffed for a while, then rolled her eyes, thought for a moment, and then nodded: "Well, it's okay, it doesn't smell like a woman."

I secretly rejoiced in my heart. Fortunately, I didn't have any physical contact with Jin Siqi this time. Otherwise, I would have been unable to defend myself.

After freshening up, I put on a new set of clothes. As soon as I came out of the bathroom, I saw everyone sitting around the sofa, staring at me.

With a question mark on my face, I touched my face and then my hair: "What's wrong with me?"

"Who are you asking?" Billy answered: "What's wrong with you, I don't know!"

"Then why are you looking at me?" I looked confused.

"Waiting to hear the story!" Susan said: "I like to hear stories the most."

I'm ashamed.

I sat next to Fenghuang, took a sip of water, and thought about it for a while before starting to talk about my trip to Dashai City.

When he said that Raphael's haggard face was revealed in front of me and startled me, Yura then said, "Well, I didn't recognize him when I first saw him."

I turned to her and asked, "When was the last time you saw him?"

Yura thought for a while and said: "Two years ago, Harold was poisoned. I accompanied him to see Raphael. At that time, Raphael was high-spirited and proud. Harold even introduced I knew him, but I rejected him.”

I joked: "Hey, you were so visionary at that time that you didn't even want the chance to meet the first famous doctor."

"Hmm." Yura smiled charmingly: "Are you jealous?"

I rolled my eyes and didn't answer.

"Tell me, why did you refuse?" Barbara asked impatiently.

"This person does have many advantages, but there is only one shortcoming that makes me really unable to compliment him," Yura said: "This person actually smokes purple heart grass!"

"Purple Heart Grass?" Barbara looked puzzled: "What is that?"

"It's a kind of medicinal material," Yura said: "If you take it in a small amount, it can refresh your mind, but if you take it in a large amount, it will become addictive, and this kind of drug addiction is extremely difficult to control. Once it attacks, your limbs will be weak and your face will turn white. Paper, in severe cases, you will foam at the mouth and fall into a coma!"

"Wow, that's scary!" Barbara exclaimed.

"How do you know so clearly?" Lilea asked on the side: "Does it mean that there are people around you who smoke this kind of thing?"

"Eh? You've been in Airui City for so long, and you don't know about it?" Yula said in surprise: "Smoking purple heart grass is a very popular hobby among the noble circles in Airui City."

"I don't know, isn't it normal?" Lilea spread her hands: "The people I contact are all middlemen, and I rarely have direct contact with the noble and royal circles. Besides, my main task is only to collect intelligence. As for the others, they are all with me. It’s impossible for me to care about irrelevant things.”

After listening to Yura's words, I suddenly thought of a question, so I turned to Princess Analita and said, "Princess, is there anyone in your circle who smokes things like purple heart grass?"

Princess Analita shook her head: "No, we have always kept ourselves clean and have never been exposed to addictive things."

I thought about it and then asked, "Is there anything particularly popular in your circle?"

"Popular things." Princess Analita thought for a moment and said, "I remember that calligraphy and painting and some jade carvings were very popular in the past, but I don't know about them now."

With that said, she turned to Princess Analetta and said, "Do you know?"

The little princess glared at me hard, crossed her arms, and tilted her head: "I don't know!"

Hey, this little girl, why does she still hold a grudge?

Princess Analita smiled apologetically at me, and I waved my hand to show that it was okay.

Then, I asked Yura, "Is that thing called purple heart grass very expensive?"

Yura nodded and said: "It is very expensive. It is said that one plant costs one gold coin."

"How long can one strain last?" I asked again.

"I don't know about that." Yura shook his head: "But I heard from the elders in the family that smoking it costs dozens of gold coins."

It costs dozens of gold coins to smoke once!

If converted into silver coins, that would be several thousand silver coins!

If converted into copper coins, that would be hundreds of thousands of copper coins!

Normally, a family only spends a few to a dozen gold coins a year, but the life in the aristocratic circle of Airui City is really luxurious!

I thought about it and said, "Yula, do you know where the purple heart grass they smoke usually comes from?"

Yula said: "I don't know, Xiaoyi, why are you asking this?"

I chuckled: "Of course I'm interested~"

"You want to make the voice of Purple Heart Grass?" Yura asked doubtfully.

"Well, I have this plan," I said, "After all, this kind of thing will generate huge profits."

"Then what?" Yura asked, "Who are you going to sell these things to?"

"The nobles of Airui City," I said, "especially the rich nobles, if possible, I hope to sell this kind of thing to the royal family."

"You are so bad," Yura said charmingly.

"Then can we make a lot of money?" Barbara asked with starry eyes.

I nodded and said, "Of course, that's a lot of money, so much that it can pile up into a hill."

"That's great," Barbara said excitedly.

"It's not good at all," Liu Yu suddenly said.

All eyes turned to Liu Yu. I held my chin and asked her, "Why is it bad?"

Liu Yudao: "If one day, the nobles no longer have money to buy purple heart grass, they will definitely squeeze the people of Airui City even more crazily, especially us slum dwellers with no money and power!"

"Yes, Xiaoyi," Yang Jiu said, "Although I really want to agree with your idea, I also have to think about the people in the slums. After all, they are also my family."

I listened silently to Liu Yu and Yang Ji's opinions, thought about it, and said, "Have you ever thought about it, even if I don't do the Purple Heart Grass business, the residents living in the slums of Airui City will still not have a good life. .”

"But."

Liu Yu wanted to refute again, but was interrupted by me: "The reason why they live in dire straits is not because of who does the purple heart grass business, nor because of whether the nobles are squeezing them, but because they are not taken seriously. In fact, in the eyes of the royal family and nobles of Airui City, they are not even human beings."
