Chapter 235: The Tyrant is Hard to Pass the Beauty

Xiao Jingfan put down the red brush, raised his hand to rub his eyebrows for a while, then tilted his head and winked at Zhou Yuande.

Zhou Yuande understood for a moment and nodded to his apprentice, saying, "You can help now. Go ahead."

Xiao Anzi was delighted and called the two young eunuchs behind him to help Chu Liuzheng.

With three more helpers, who were hardworking and diligent, the pile of memorials was moved away in no time.

Chu Liuzheng was worried that he would have to work again when he returned to Wenhua Palace, so he thought of going back to the tea room to hide for a while, maybe even taking a nap.

Unfortunately, before she could take a step, Zhou Yuande suddenly appeared like a ghost from behind. He had a fat and kind face and stared at her with a smile, which made Chu Liuzheng break out in a cold sweat.

She she she didn't want to be lazy.

[Ah! I'm so sleepy. Is Tyrant planning to stay up all night?]

Chu Liuzheng's feet were numb from standing so he quietly stood on tiptoe a few times and glanced behind the desk.

Xiao Jingfan sat upright, reviewing memorials without even raising his head.

Chu Liuzheng averted his gaze to prevent himself from yawning again and being caught by the tyrant.

Yes, she felt that the emperor had called her to move the memorials simply because he had seen her yawning just now.

Just in case this happened again, she opened her spiritual food.

[Ding ding ding! The mini-game begins. Click with your eyes closed. Whichever one you click counts.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Don’t look at those useless things. You’d better hurry up and climb the mountain of gold. Isn’t it okay if I don’t punish you in the future?

Unfortunately, Chu Liuzheng has never had any tacit understanding with him.

If I tell you to click with your eyes closed, then click with your eyes closed. I will never cheat.

[Great, the first lucky melon appears! ]

She looked intently.

Prince Xiao suddenly fell ill with a severe headache. His convoy stopped at Xinbao City. The palace doctors were helpless, and the palace steward searched for a doctor everywhere.

[Tsk tsk, Prince Xiao isn't much healthier than Prince Rui. These two are truly in dire straits. But Xinbao City is just an economically underdeveloped small town with a permanent population of less than 5,000. How could there be a doctor with more advanced medical skills than the palace physician?]

Chu Liuzheng searched the system curiously, and she actually found one.

Doctor Qin of Chunhe Clinic is known for his miraculous healing skills, saving countless lives with his Juyi magic needle. He's a true expert, on par with a national expert. Wow, King Xiao is quite lucky; Doctor Qin can cure his illness... Uh, wait! What do you mean he only treats women? Why?

Xiao Jingfan was also curious... No, he was concerned about his third brother.

If you don't cure your splitting headache quickly, how can you work for him?

Chu Liuzheng quickly turned to the reason and read on.

Doctor Qin's original name was Qin Shu, and his family ran a medicinal herb business. When he was young, his mother, Lu, became seriously ill, and only the ghost doctor Minghan could save her. Qin Shu and her father approached him with a consultation fee, but Minghan refused to treat women. Despite their pleas, even offering him his ancestral fortune, Minghan refused to help and even sent his guards to drive them away.

After Lu's death, Qin Shu began studying medicine, determined to become a doctor even more skilled than the Ghost Doctor. By chance, she learned the Juyi Divine Needle and saved countless lives.

However, Qin Shu still harbored a grudge against Lu's death, and declared that she would only treat women other than her relatives. She would not treat any other men, young or old, even if they offered her millions of gold and used their power to pressure her.

[Tsk tsk, is this to go against the Ghost Doctor? What a shame. According to the system description, this Juyi Divine Needle is like a panacea, capable of curing anything. If it can untie Qin Shu's knot, and not blindly attack everyone with one stick, perhaps the Great Sheng will produce a famous female doctor whose reputation will last for generations.]

Xiao Jingfan's eyes moved slightly. Is this Juyi Divine Needle really so magical?

As the saying goes, the one who tied the bell must untie it. Unfortunately, the Ghost Doctor is dead. Qin Shu's knot in her heart is probably unresolved... Eh? The Ghost Doctor even had an apprentice.

Chu Liuzheng hurriedly pulled it down.

This disciple perfectly inherited the Ghost Doctor's legacy, even changing the Ghost Doctor's rule of not treating women. Upon learning of Qin Shu's past grudge against his master, he realized her refusal to treat men stemmed from the Ghost Doctor's actions. Filled with guilt, he visited her several times, hoping to resolve the feud and untie Qin Shu's knot, but was always rebuffed.

[Tsk tsk, this disciple is quite persistent. He even rented a house in Xinbao City and won't leave until he gets Qin Shu's forgiveness for his master. Hmm... well, getting Qin Shu's forgiveness is easy. Just bring Lu back to life.]

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

He thought this woman really had a way, but it turns out she was just gloating over other people's misfortunes.

[It seems that as long as he doesn't become the crown prince, King Xiao's luck will return. If he can't find Qin Shu for a consultation, he can always find the ghost doctor's apprentice.]

Chu Liuzheng felt that King Xiao's illness was not a serious problem, so he closed this piece of gossip and turned to the next one.

[Chun Man Yuan has reopened and will host a poetry reading tomorrow night. We sincerely invite talented people to participate.]

[Tsk tsk, what a stunt! Not only will the top ten receive gifts, but the first place winner will even get to spend the night with the top courtesan Yingying. I wonder if the civil and military officials can handle hearing this. I suggest the Imperial Guards wait in Chunman Garden, or have Censor Wang stake out the spot. I guarantee he'll be right if he reports it.]

Xiao Jingfan kept writing while listening attentively, and actually thought this was a good idea.

The owners of Wanfang Tower and Chunmanyuan are very mysterious. They never show up in the buildings. Only the information of two brothel madams is registered in Shuntian Prefecture, so it is impossible to track them down.

The secret guards have not yet found out who is the mastermind behind these two brothels.

【Come on, next one.】

Chu Liuzheng randomly opened a line and looked at it carefully.

[Oh, the tyrant had the Ministry of Rites draft the titles of Princess Silly and Sweet and Princess Strong. They will enter the palace in three days.]

Let me see. Princess Silly White Sweet is a fourth-rank Liyi, with the title Shao. Princess Strongman is a fourth-rank noble concubine, with the title Yu.

Chu Liuzheng couldn't help but be surprised.

[Frog fun, this is much higher than I expected. I thought the highest rank she could get was a noble lady or concubine.]

[These two princesses have just entered the palace, one as a junior fourth rank and the other as a regular fourth rank, and both have been granted titles by the emperor. Once the imperial decree is issued, I'm afraid many of the concubines in the harem will be unable to sleep peacefully.]

Chu Liuzheng could foresee the bloody storm that would follow, and felt that there would be a lot of melons to eat.

But even though she was eating melon, she still felt a little strange.

[Princess Hercules' high position in the palace was earned by her father's generous donation, but why is Princess Silly and Sweet? Butterfly has always been trying to trick the tyrant, and the tyrant has long disliked Xixia. There's no reason to give Princess Silly and Sweet such a high position.]

[When things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. Hmm... Shao means beautiful. Could it be that the tyrant was also captivated by the innocent princess's alluring dance on New Year's Eve?]

Thinking of this possibility, Chu Liuzheng secretly regretted not seeing the scene.

I wish the beauty could dance on her palm but she couldn’t charm the tyrant. Now that the silly and sweet princess has it, how beautiful must her dance be?

She couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, a hero... no, even a tyrant can't resist a beautiful woman. The ancients were right."

Xiao Jingfan: "..."

Speaking of beauties, I haven't seen any news about the Piranha Plant in ages. Because of a seemingly jealous remark, the tyrant demoted her from a concubine to a concubine. Given her nature, she should be trying to rise to the top, so why hasn't she been heard from?

Chu Liuzheng felt strange and started searching in the system.

Concubine Chen is still in her book of enemies, so she must pay more attention to her.
