Chapter 50 The Charlatan Imperial Advisor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 08

"Alright, it's settled then. If anyone has any objections, then let's go to Fengzhou together tomorrow!"

The courtiers naturally dared not raise any objections.

Lord Zhao, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, was somewhat annoyed that he had acted too hastily. His actions just now might have aroused the tyrant's suspicion!

Suspecting him is fine, but it would be bad if the tyrant associated it with Prince Ning.

888 secretly complained to Yu Sheng: "That Prince Ning is quite good at brainwashing, he's almost as good as the original owner of this body. Even though I've been exposed, I'm still worried about Prince Ning!"

Yu Sheng said to it, "No matter what, it's still a protagonist. Even if it's a distorted protagonist, it's still a protagonist. The protagonist's halo is right there, so its brainwashing ability is naturally not weak."

"Then he'd be perfect for a pyramid scheme; he'd definitely thrive there."

Thinking about it, 888 rolled its eyes and secretly gave Yu Sheng a cheat code that allowed him to see the protagonist's halo.

Hehe, I hope Sheng Sheng won't be blinded by the light when the time comes.

It can't be the only one that gets hurt, can it?

It can't be turned off by the system, which is infuriating! Who wants to see that protagonist with such a protagonist's halo?!

Once this world ends, it must report to the higher-ups and have this ridiculous system setting removed.

******

Yu Sheng woke up early in the morning and met Xie Hanzhou's gaze. He blinked in confusion, seemingly not quite understanding what was happening.

Looking at him like this, Xie Hanzhou couldn't help but feel a strange emotion rising in his heart.

He's so cute, I want to kiss him until I cry.

Xie Hanzhou: "..."

He glanced at Yu Sheng with a dark expression. "Has the Imperial Preceptor forgotten that we are departing for Fengzhou today?"

Yu Sheng was brought back to his senses by his sarcastic address of "Grand Preceptor," and he slowly got up and dressed.

"You...you...you...shameless!" Xie Hanzhou glared at him angrily, his face flushed with a strange blush.

Yu Sheng was bewildered. "No, Your Majesty, what have I done to you this time?"

Xie Hanzhou didn't say anything, just stared directly at the large expanse of snow-white skin revealed by the loose inner garment on his chest.

Honestly, this time it really wasn't intentional on his part.

Yu Sheng silently tugged at her inner garment and slowly put on her clothes.

"Is Your Majesty embarrassed? We are both men, what's wrong between men? Or perhaps..." Yu Sheng pressed on, his thin lips parting slightly, "Your Majesty has developed other feelings for me?"

Xie Hanzhou was in a panic.

Although he was usually known as a tyrant, he had never experienced anything like this before.

Given his reputation as a tyrant, what decent family's daughter would want to marry him? And the man… he hadn't considered it before, but now…

Xie Hanzhou shook the yellow waste in his mind and deliberately put on a stern face to glare at Yu Sheng.

"It seems the Imperial Advisor is quite ill. I would never harbor such wicked thoughts towards him!"

He thought his words were very powerful, but in Yu Sheng's eyes, they were just an attempt to cover up the truth.

Yu Sheng looked at him in surprise. "What is Your Majesty saying? What I meant was... Your Majesty, you're probably just envious of my fair skin, aren't you?"

Xie Hanzhou subconsciously glanced at his skin tone.

Yes, Yu Shengbai is indeed not there.

Yu Shengbai is simply too much.

Xie Hanzhou, realizing what was happening, was furious. "Yu Sheng—you!"

"Your Majesty, I am here! Is there something you need now?" Yu Sheng smiled innocently, which made Xie Hanzhou grit his teeth.

It's confirmed. Yu Sheng wanted to seduce me so he could use me as a stepping stone to climb the social ladder!

Hmph! Xie Hanzhou will absolutely not fall for that!

Xie Hanzhou repeatedly reminded himself of this, then turned and left.

In the mental world, 888 pointed at Xie Hanzhou's departing figure and laughed mockingly.

"No, is it so hard for you to admit that you like Sheng Sheng? And you don't even have those kinds of feelings for her? Wasn't the person doing bad things in your dream last night?"

"The only thing you're really tough on is your mouth. Let's see if you'll ever hit me in the face again!"

Yu Sheng was overjoyed.

"I didn't expect Xie Hanzhou to be so cute when he's being teased. It's okay, if he still doesn't get it, I don't mind taking a hammer and manually smashing him open tonight."

888 raised her hand, "Me! Me! Let me do it! The boss has the most experience with this!"

"I guarantee I'll smash his brain with a hammer and turn it into...love-obsessed brain!"

Yu Sheng: Actually, you were just trying to say cerebral palsy, weren't you?

By the time Yu Sheng finished packing and left, Xie Hanzhou was already in the carriage.

Despite the arduous journey, the two only brought seven attendants with them.

As for how many people are involved in the operation... that remains unknown.

According to the original plan, the two should first go to Ciyu Temple to meet Master Cimei, and then go to Fengzhou together to pray for rain.

Ciyu Temple is located between the capital and Lincheng. When they arrived at their destination, it was noon, so the two had lunch at Ciyu Temple before preparing to continue their journey.

Master Cimei was just like his Buddhist name; he had a kind and benevolent face and always had a smiling expression.

"Cimei greets Your Majesty and the Grand Preceptor," Cimei said, pressing her palms together in a gesture of respect to the two.

"Master Cimei, there's no need for such formalities," the two replied almost in unison, helping Cimei up from either side.

The smile on Ci Mei's face deepened, leaving the two of them completely bewildered.

"The Imperial Preceptor may have his meal first. I have matters to discuss with Master Cimei."

Yu Sheng watched the two leave.

"888, what was he trying to do by deliberately sending me away?"

"Oh, he wants Cimei to take a look at him to see if you've cast a spell on him. Don't worry, your progress will be on the next level soon."

"Amitabha Buddha, I wonder if His Majesty brought this humble monk here specifically for the sake of the Imperial Preceptor?"

Xie Hanzhou raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Master Cimei guessed correctly. I do indeed have matters related to the Imperial Advisor that I would like to consult with you."

"Master, may I ask if you can take a look at me and see if I have been cursed?" Xie Hanzhou immediately explained his purpose.

Ci Mei looked at him with a puzzled expression.

He then shook his head.

"Your Majesty, this humble monk did not detect any spells on Your Majesty when you first entered. On the contrary..."

Master Cimei's hesitant expression chilled Xie Hanzhou to the bone.

Could it be something even more terrifying?

Xie Hanzhou's face turned pale and then even paler.

He heard Master Cimei drop a bombshell: "Your Majesty, you might be about to have some romantic luck recently."

Seeing Xie Hanzhou's surprised expression, Ci Mei quietly added, "Yes, she's still a domineering peach blossom."

"Your Majesty, your iron tree is finally about to bloom! Congratulations!"

"And it's not just Your Majesty, but judging from the Grand Preceptor's appearance, it seems he's also about to have some romantic luck. Uh... Your Majesty, you should understand what I mean, right?"

Your Majesty, in truth, Your Majesty does not wish to understand.
