Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 480 I Want to

"What happened to Master Xiao Jiang's foot?"

The imperial guard next to her saw her limping towards him and asked with concern.

Jiang Yueyang waved her hand, "It's okay, I just twisted it accidentally."

When she came out, she accidentally stepped on her official uniform and fell forward. If she hadn't opened the protective shield in time, she would have sprained more than just her ankle.

In order to prevent the protective shield from being triggered at any time and arousing suspicion, Jiang Yueyang set the limit for triggering the protection relatively high.

Dangers such as falling or being slapped will not trigger the protective mechanism of the shield.

Hearing his words, the imperial guards subconsciously glanced at her feet and asked in confusion: "Then why hasn't Lord Xiao Jiang gone back yet?"

"I……"

After a pause, Jiang Yueyang slapped the palm of the imperial guard with a loud slap, killing a bleeding mosquito with her own hand.

Imperial Guards: “…”

Seeing that the mosquito was so fat, Jiang Yueyang stretched out his hand in front of the guard and asked curiously: "Brother Guard, don't you feel itchy when you are bitten by a mosquito?"

"Of course it itches, but I didn't feel it just now." The imperial guard lowered his eyes and glanced at the dead mosquito on her palm, "Master Xiao Jiang, you have a good eye."

Jiang Yueyang shook off the body of the mosquito, then wiped her hands on her clothes casually.

She raised her chin proudly, "Of course, my eyesight is very good, even at night."

At this time, Guyu took a stool from the carriage and placed it under her feet.

Just as she was about to sit down, she caught a glimpse of a mosquito buzzing towards her and killed it with a slap.

"These mosquitoes are so fat because of all the food they eat. You must have taken such good care of them."

The imperial guards present: "..."

They never thought of raising mosquitoes, it was the mosquitoes that came to their door with their mouths and forced themselves to eat.

Mosquitoes were buzzing around, but Jiang Yueyang thought their blood was too thick and killing them would get her hands covered in blood, so she stopped hitting the mosquitoes and instead waved her hands to drive them away.

Unfortunately, the mosquitoes did not appreciate her kindness and bit her on the neck when she was not paying attention.

By the time she noticed the itch, a lump had already appeared on her neck.

Jiang Yueyang took out a roll of old-fashioned mosquito coils from his sleeve without saying a word, and asked the imperial guards for a light to light the mosquito coils.

After a while, all the mosquitoes ran away.

The imperial guards present found that the mosquitoes were no longer biting them, and they immediately stared at the mosquito coils on the ground in surprise.

"Master Xiao Jiang, what is the name of that thing you burned? Mosquitoes seem to be very afraid of it."

Jiang Yueyang explained with a smile: "This thing is called mosquito coil, it is specially used to kill mosquitoes."

"Mosquito coils? This thing is so powerful!" The imperial guards were amazed. "Master Xiao Jiang, we are stationed at the palace gate all year round and are often bitten by mosquitoes. I wonder if Master Xiao Jiang has any extra mosquito coils?"

"We can buy it with silver!" the imperial guard who spoke added, and the other imperial guards present nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Yueyang said cheerfully: "You want mosquito coils, I can provide them to you for one penny. But there is one thing, you must not use them to make a profit!"

Mosquito coils come from the modern era and are not very far away from the world she lives in now. Moreover, the technical content of mosquito coils is not high, so the tax rate is not high and the price is cheap.

On the contrary, things from her world can be sold at high prices.

Considering the special profession of the Imperial Guards, Jiang Yueyang was happy to treat them better. Of course, if the Daxia army also needed it, she could also provide it.

Although she would have to spend a lot of money to sell it for a penny, she believed that she would get more from His Majesty.

According to past experience, His Majesty will definitely give her something as a reward. Even if he doesn't, the Queen will.

One treasure can buy a lot of mosquito coils.

The imperial guards were overjoyed when they heard that they could buy such a powerful mosquito coil for just one penny!

"Master Xiao Jiang, don't worry, we bought it for our own use and we will never have any bad intentions!"

How dare they have any evil thoughts? It's not like they want to die.

Jiang Yueyang nodded with satisfaction and asked, "When do you want it?"

"We still need to report this matter to Lord Xie, and Lord Xie should come to you when the time comes."

"OK."

"Master Xiao Jiang, how long can this mosquito coil burn?"

"Well... considering that this place is open and windy, it should only burn for about two or three hours. However, I can give you an incense tray to avoid the wind and make it burn slower."

"Thank you so much, Master Xiao Jiang."

In this way, they chatted with each other, and time passed by unknowingly.

After an unknown amount of time, several figures walked out of the palace gate.

Jiang Yueyang, who was discussing with the imperial guards what kind of people mosquitoes like to bite, did not see Lu Yunting come out in time.

But Lu Yunting caught her voice at once, waved his hand to signal the soldiers behind him to go back, and then walked towards her with a smile on his face.

Shadows fell, blocking the moonlight. Jiang Yueyang and the imperial guards who had just finished their shift looked up instinctively.

"Ayue." Jiang Yueyang stood up happily. Several imperial guards walked away with amusement after seeing Lu Yunting recognize them.

Lu Yunting looked at her as if no one was around, and asked softly, "Why don't you go home after leaving the palace?"

"I'm waiting... for my father to go back with me."

Jiang Yueyang almost said that she was waiting for him, but fortunately she stopped herself and changed the subject in time.

Otherwise it would be too embarrassing, with so many people listening.

As soon as Lu Yunting heard it, he knew that she was actually waiting for him, and the smile on his lips deepened.

He echoed her words and said, "Uncle Jiang and His Majesty are discussing something, and it will probably take a long time."
