Chapter 47 The Charlatan National Preceptor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 05

Xie Hanzhou didn't understand. He thought it must be that charlatan Yu Sheng who had cursed him. Was this some kind of new power grab scheme? What a vicious conspiracy!

Yu Sheng, you're really insidious!

Once I find a capable and extraordinary person, I will definitely lift the curse on you and let you taste what it's like to be cursed.

Xie Hanzhou clenched his fist and then slowly released it.

"How about we make two preparations and have Master Cimei assist the Grand Preceptor in praying for rain? After all, when it comes to praying for rain, it is the Grand Preceptor, a reincarnation of an immortal, who is the most effective."

"Ah, this..."

The National Preceptor Party and the Li Qichou Party looked at each other, unsure of Xie Hanzhou's meaning.

Xie Hanzhou gave a look to Steward An, who was standing to the side. Steward An flicked his whisk and announced loudly, "Court adjourned—"

After the court session, Chief Eunuch An secretly observed Xie Hanzhou's expression and asked, "Your Majesty, does the Imperial Preceptor require me to convey his decree?"

Xie Hanzhou waved his hand, then wrote an imperial edict: "Send someone to Ciyu Temple to deliver the edict. As for the Imperial Preceptor... I will go there myself."

Chief Steward An was somewhat surprised; it seemed His Majesty was very concerned about the Grand Preceptor's health!

He didn't understand when exactly Xie Hanzhou had become close to the Imperial Preceptor.

He couldn't understand it.

Xie Hanzhou: You're right if you don't understand, because I don't understand either.

Meanwhile, at the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Yu Sheng scooped up 888, which had turned into a red matchstick figure from being soaked in water. Looking at the two red blushes on its face and its bewildered eyes, he felt a wave of disgust.

He was amazed that he ended up feeling dizzy while soaking in the water.

If you feel dizzy, you won't know to come out?

Just because your skin won't get wrinkled from soaking, you can soak it as much as you want, right?

Yu Sheng grabbed 888's limp arm and shook it vigorously from side to side, drying 888's body and also waking up the dizzy system somewhat.

"How dare you! Who would dare to murder me!"

Yu Sheng: "..."

He took a deep breath. "You call yourself 'I'? Are you possessed by Xie Hanzhou?"

After recognizing the sound, 888 jolted awake and sat up abruptly from the table.

"Ahem, that Sheng Sheng..."

"Ah, His Majesty has fully awakened?"

888 rolled its eyes, and just as it was about to disappear back into Yu Sheng's mental world, Yu Sheng swiftly grabbed its head.

Yu Sheng tossed a handkerchief to 888, covering its entire body. "Wipe the remaining water droplets off you thoroughly before you talk. I don't want to have water in my brain!"

888 pouted under the handkerchief, spread it on the table, lay down on it, rolled around a few times, and then returned to its mental sea.

"Oh right, Xie Hanzhou is here, he's only a hundred meters away from you now."

"Couldn't you have said so sooner?"

888 ignored him, casually peeking into Xie Hanzhou's thoughts while lounging with his legs crossed in his mind.

Even in a different world, their family's chief god's inner world remains rich and colorful.

It's one thing to call Yu Sheng a charlatan, but to think that Yu Sheng cast a spell on him, causing him to unconsciously develop those kinds of thoughts about her.

What's even more absurd is that he secretly sought out extraordinary individuals to retaliate against them in kind.

What I'm saying is, your scheme has been heard even outside the palace.

As expected of a villainous tyrant, he's got a lot of ulterior motives, even more sinister than Chu Yunxi.

During the time that 888 was complaining about, Xie Hanzhou, dressed in a black robe, strolled to Qingzhu Garden, which was Yu Sheng's residence.

Perhaps because of the hot spring in the courtyard, the hot water bubbling up from the spring appears misty, giving it a somewhat idyllic feel from a distance.

Xie Hanzhou was somewhat surprised when he stepped into the bamboo forest.

This was his first time visiting the Imperial Preceptor's residence, and he never expected it to be like this.

Xie Hanzhou immediately spotted Yu Sheng, dressed in a blue robe, drinking tea alone in the pavilion.

He was unconsciously drawn to Yu Sheng's hands.

Her fingers were long and slender, with fair skin and well-defined joints, and her fingertips were still slightly pink.

Xie Hanzhou's gaze involuntarily moved from that hand to Yu Sheng's rosy, full lips. His Adam's apple bobbed as he unconsciously swallowed.

If I were to kiss it, it would probably be very soft, right?

The thought had just crossed Xie Hanzhou's mind when he abruptly interrupted himself.

No, no, these are all illusions.

Yes, it's all an illusion.

All of this was the result of Yu Sheng's curse.

How awful! All she knows is how to seduce him.

What a wicked heart the Imperial Advisor has! He actually tried to seize the throne in this way; he will definitely not let Yu Sheng succeed!

888: Speechless. Just keep acting up. Wait until you lose your wife, then I'll see if you cry!

"Is it good? How much longer would Your Majesty like to watch?"

Xie Hanzhou snapped out of his daze, only to find that Yu Sheng had already put down her teacup, propped her head up with one hand, and was smiling at him.

But what he noticed first was the bruise on Yu Sheng's wrist.

He accidentally pinched it too hard yesterday. It was originally red, but after a day it turned bluish-purple, looking like it had been through an accident.

Xie Hanzhou felt that he was becoming increasingly lewd under the control of the curse.

He coughed lightly, but his ears were slowly getting hot, and a blush was unconsciously creeping up his neck.

"Ahem, I heard that the Grand Preceptor is unwell, so I came to visit him."

"Is Your Majesty sure you're not here to see me faking illness?" Yu Sheng asked him with a smile, but her words struck a chord with someone's inner thoughts.

"Given the contributions the Imperial Advisor has made to the entire nation, I should naturally show him more care and concern, however..."

Xie Hanzhou changed the subject, "I do indeed have something that requires your assistance, my dear minister."

888: Bah! You're a charlatan who only bothers me when I need something, right?

Yu Sheng paused for a moment, then calculated with his fingers and said calmly, "Your Majesty probably wants to talk about the drought in Fengzhou, right?"

Xie Hanzhou twitched his lips when he saw his actions clearly.

You really never forget to maintain your persona, no matter the situation!

They're always putting on airs!

Hmph <(￣﹌￣)>

"Does Your Majesty mean that I should go to Fengzhou to pray for rain?" Yu Sheng continued.

"As expected of the Imperial Preceptor, he can know the affairs of the world with just a few calculations. I know that the Imperial Preceptor has been unwell recently, so I specially sent someone to invite Master Cimei of Ciyu Temple to go to Fengzhou with the Imperial Preceptor to pray for rain."

"The drought in Fengzhou is severe, and I must entrust this matter to you, my dear minister."

Xie Hanzhou spoke earnestly, his worried expression making Yu Sheng almost unable to hold back her tears.

No, how come Xie Hanzhou is a better actor than him?

However, Yu Sheng was indeed planning to go to Fengzhou to deal with the drought.

This was not only because of the drought in Fengzhou that was causing suffering to the people, but also because Xie Weiyan's future strategist, Liang Hong, was in Fengzhou.

Since we're going to get rid of Xie Weiyan, this madman, we should naturally cut off his future right-hand men first.

Yu Sheng turned to look at him with a smile, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to Fengzhou to pray for rain, however..."
