Du Wanwan, a military doctor, overworked herself to death. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself branded a 'calamity star'—hated by everyone, facing a forced exodus, and expel...
Chapter 385 The Hardest Job in the World is Being an Emperor
Du Wanwan frowned slightly, but did not deny it. Instead, she nodded slightly: "I roughly guessed it."
"You have guessed my identity as well?" the emperor asked with interest, "You guessed it the first time you saw me?"
"No." Du Wanwan said modestly, "It was because you wanted to take the painting away that I guessed it."
"Really?" The emperor smiled, revealing a hint of gentleness. "You already knew who the person in the painting was, right?"
"That's right." Having said that, Du Wanwan didn't want to hide anything. Sooner or later, this matter would be made clear. "The woman in the painting is the biological mother of the Sixth Prince of the Northern Kingdom. He was almost caught by us when he pretended to be a bandit.
He was trying to escape, leaving everything behind and running away. The painting was found in his room."
The painting was found in the room, but not in the bandit's den, but in a small courtyard in Liangjun City. Du Wanwan's words were ambiguous, and no one knew that she had made a small change to the source of the painting.
Unless confronted with Jade-faced Shura face to face, no one would know whether what she said was true or false.
"There is a handwriting he left on it as evidence. In the whole capital, there are not many people who can recognize the painting. And when I was in Liangjun City, I accidentally discovered that the King of Qi and the Sixth Prince of the Northern Kingdom are brothers."
The emperor was shocked, but his face showed no sign of it. "How did you find out?"
How did they find out? Of course they sent the third and sixth brothers to monitor and find out.
But I couldn’t say this, so I had to continue making up the story: “After the King of Qi went to Liangjun City, he had no good intentions and asked his concubine Yang Yurong to openly seduce my Ye Tingxiao.
I was very angry, so I sent people to secretly monitor the King of Qi, and accidentally discovered that he went to a courtyard. That courtyard was where Jin Wenhao from the North lived. Ye Tingxiao and I hid on the roof and overheard their conversation. "
"Oh? What did you hear?" The emperor's eyes were full of interest.
Du Wanwan paused and asked, "Do you really want to tell me?"
"Speak!"
"I'm afraid your heart won't be able to bear it, so you should take a pill first!"
Liu Xiaowu, who was standing by, took out a small glass bottle from his arms, but the emperor raised his hand to stop him.
"No, I can handle it."
"Okay, then you listen carefully."
Du Wanwan did not hide anything and told the emperor everything she had heard.
"Hahaha! Such big ambitions." After hearing this, the emperor laughed. "She wants to be the queen mother of both Wei and the Northern Kingdom? Hahaha! With such big ambitions, aren't you afraid of eating yourself to death?"
Du Wanwan didn't respond. She didn't care whether Wei Hanyi died or not. What she wanted was to overthrow King Qi.
The King of Qi framed the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion and her family Ye Tingxiao, so he had to bear the consequences of his past being exposed. Originally, he was the King of Qi in the capital, and the Marquis of Pingyang Mansion existed well in Liangjun City. Everyone lived their own lives and lived in peace.
If he has to find trouble for no reason, then go ahead and see how many heads he has for the emperor to chop off.
"You are the Princess Protector of Dongchen Kingdom, right? Why are you so close to the Crown Prince?" The Emperor was very curious. "How did you get in touch with him?"
Facing the interrogation, Du Wanwan did not hesitate, and directly called Xiaoqi and Aunt Hua over, pointing at them: "These are the crows I raised. Usually, when I have something to do, I ask them to deliver letters to the Prince's Mansion.
I also trained several falcons, and sent three to the prince, and two to Ye Tingxiao. I haven't told him that my son was taken away by the great immortal Bai, so I asked them to send a message to him."
Xiao Qi and Aunt Hua looked at the emperor carefully, then flew out the door and onto the roof.
"Falcons?" The emperor's eyes lit up. "Why did you give so many to the prince? Why didn't you think of leaving one for me? Those animals are hard to train. Do you have any more? Give me one."
"No more, all given to the prince, go ask him for one!"
Du Wanwan's nonchalant tone sounded very casual to the emperor, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.
He was not as timid and cautious as the ministers were when they met him, nor was he as polite and formal as the concubines in the harem were when they met him.
She seemed to treat everyone the same, whether a beggar or an emperor, in her eyes they were all human beings, without any distinction of high or low.
The daughter-in-law that the Ye family found is really special. Not only is she good at medicine, but she also has a very unique personality. It is very comfortable to chat with her without having to think too much.
I was afraid that I might say something wrong unintentionally and she would use it to hold me accountable.
"Will he give it to me?" the emperor asked deliberately. "What if he doesn't? Does he need me to give him an order?"
"No need, he has three. Ask him to give you the little one and leave the big one and the small one to him."
Liu Xiaowu, who was standing next to him, was stunned when he heard this: "Doctor Du! The little flowers you mentioned, the eldest and the second are the names of hawks?"
"Really? The falcons are a big family. The father is Zamao and the mother is Nana. Five little falcons were hatched. The eldest, second and third are males."
As Du Wanwan spoke, the emperor's mouth twitched, and he felt that Doctor Du was really good at naming. The stray hairs were all out, and he didn't know what she was thinking.
"Xiaohua and Xiaobai are females. Xiaobai left with my son Chenchen. The third child is in the palace of Dongchen Kingdom. Zamao and Nana went to look for Ye Tingxiao and should be back in a few days.
Xiaohua and the eldest and second oldest were given to the prince. Zamao doesn't like to be separated from Nana, otherwise he will jump up and down and curse like a shrew. "
"Hahahaha! Hahaha! Hahaha!"
The emperor laughed. This was the funniest thing he had heard in recent days.
The chief eunuch Liu Xiaowu also covered his mouth and shrugged his shoulders while laughing.
"Oh my! My Doctor Du! Your ability in naming is really amazing. It's really funny."
Du Wanwan looked at the emperor and the chief eunuch in astonishment, and asked seriously, "Is it funny? I don't think so. Zamao gave himself the name, and they said he was a man of integrity, so why would he change his name or surname?"
"Hahaha! Hahaha! Are you sure it was the falcon that said that and not you?" The emperor laughed so hard that his teeth ached, but he still couldn't stop laughing, "Doctor Du! You are really capable.
I have been in a bad mood these past few days, feeling gloomy and sad. I didn’t expect that after coming to your place, all my feelings would be cleared up. You are indeed a miracle doctor.”
"A smile makes you ten years younger. If you have anything to say, it's better to laugh it out than to keep it in your heart." Du Wanwan looked at the emperor and said, "Listen to my advice, laughing heartily is the secret to longevity.
For many things, if you can manage them, then manage them; if you can’t manage them, then let go. There’s no need to force yourself. Whether you are right or wrong, having a clear conscience is the most important thing. Every industry has its own difficulties, and every profession has its own difficulties. ”
"Profession?" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in disbelief, "Do you think being an emperor is a profession?"
"What else?" Du Wanwan asked, "If it's not a profession, what do you think it is?"
Seeing that the emperor lowered his head in thought and said nothing, Du Wanwan continued, "In my eyes, any official position is a job. The same goes for the emperor. The most difficult job in the world is the emperor."
