Chapter 200: A Beauty's Plight
emperor:…………
How could she belittle him like that?
I told him I loved him just two days ago, but he doesn't seem to love me at all.
"Go back and rest. We'll watch it for another day tomorrow. We have to finish it." With that, he left.
"One day isn't enough for the Emperor!" Ji Yingying immediately chased after him. As soon as Ji Yingying left with the Emperor, Consort Lan invited her sisters to play again.
...
The emperor completely ignored her and walked away in just a few steps, leaving her, a little girl, behind. Unable to catch up, she simply gave up.
Ji Yingying stopped chasing after them and found a side hall to lie down and sleep.
[Host, you're asleep so early?]
[Sleep? When did I say I was going to sleep?] Ji Yingying took out a flashlight and leaned back to read the storybook.
[We might as well go eat some melon seeds!]
We'll eat tomorrow. Right now, read the novel. Shh! Don't talk.
She would get sleepy and fall asleep after watching for a while, and in the morning, it was Granny Xia who came to the palace to wake her up.
After finishing her court session, Ji Yingying continued to examine the portrait.
Come, let me see if there are any mystical arts left in this world.
【Ha ha……】
[What are you laughing at? Let's see what kind of gossip this is.] Perhaps she had slept well and had enough sleep, because Ji Yingying was now full of energy.
He still has incontinence, but nothing else.
"Urinary incontinence! Okay, next." Ji Yingying knew medicine, so she naturally understood what urinary incontinence meant.
[This guy is timid and afraid of trouble. He never dares to walk at night, so when he encounters a dead body while on duty at night, it's always his accomplices who help him.]
【Then what's the point of having him? Why not just have his subordinates take over?】
[It wasn't his subordinate, it was his wife. His wife is incredibly capable, a master at investigating and solving cases. If women had been allowed to work earlier, she might already be the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.]
[That's amazing?]
Yes, she handles all the major and important cases; all the other trivial matters are handled by this official.
[I see. Then he must not be a good person. Did he intend to kill his wife?]
"How did you know?" Xiangxiang looked at him in surprise, seemingly not expecting that he could think of this.
Throughout history, women have always been stronger than men. In a patriarchal world, when women are strong, men lose face. Losing face can lead to actions that destroy that face, ultimately resulting in the man truly losing face.
Yes, he did want to kill his wife, but he couldn't defeat her.
[He simply can't win. A woman with such strong investigative skills—unless she's blinded by love, in which case the man's fate is to court death.]
Yes, host, she has taken control of the person herself and is about to report it to the authorities.
What kind of official is this? Don't let officials protect each other.
[Host, that's a good phrase. I'd forgotten about the term "official protection among officials." You've never engaged in such a thing since you became an official.]
[What are you thinking? Do you think I need protection from officials?] She doesn't even want to be an official, let alone have protection...
Yes, you don't need it.
Good to know!
"Then I'll continue. That woman plans to go to the capital to file a complaint with Lord Gongsun."
[Since that's the case, I'll go watch the show and see what a hypocritical scumbag he is.]
【Do you think this is a monkey in a zoo? They might put on a show for you, but it depends on whether you have time to watch. I've realized, you're just a busybody.】
When the weather isn't cold, I'll probably be even busier!
I have to say, Xiangxiang is right!
[Hehe, next!]
"Oh, I'm a bit of a germaphobe."
"I'm a germaphobe too, it's okay." Just as Ji Yingying was about to move on to the next topic, Xiangxiang added, "His germaphobia is related to sex."
[Yellow, fast, how do you say that?]
He doesn't like having sex with women!
Does he like to have sex with men?
[Oh no, it's that he only loves himself, and then he's forced to be with other women. Every time afterward, he washes himself with water, ten or more times.]
Moreover, he cannot experience joy.
[Mom! I'm still a girl, and I've never experienced this before.]
[Host, you're being lewd!]
No, please continue.
He felt it was dirty; his body was pure and innocent, yet he had to do such a thing. He felt he had no choice.
Does he have children?
Yes, that child... I don't know what he saw when he was born, but he's never dared to go near him.
In short, his obsession with cleanliness was so extreme that it deterred most people from approaching him, not just his body, but also his clothes; it was almost like he had reached the level of a human emperor.
Wow, I remember seeing a couple on Douyin before who were extremely germaphobic. They even used calipers to measure their mouths and dumplings before eating them.
[I used alcohol to disinfect my newborn, hehe!]
【Yeah, that's exactly how this man is.】
[That's really not fun.] Ji Yingying felt that even if she loved someone, she should stay away from them. In their eyes, someone like her who could eat in bed was trash.
【Next. 】
Ji Yingying turned to the next portrait. The person in the painting was lifelike and very beautiful, as if they were real.
[Oh my god, after looking for so long, I've finally found someone good-looking! He's so handsome, I want to take him home and hide him away so I can watch him day and night.]
This man, surnamed Liu, has a blood feud with someone!
【Hiss~ How do I put it?】
Such a handsome man, could he have a blood feud, or perhaps it's a love feud?
He had a hard life from a young age. His father lost his leg trying to support his education, and his grandparents kicked the family out of the house because they couldn't earn any money for them anymore.
The lecherous uncle took a liking to his mother and forced himself on her.
His mother couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide. His father was also forced to death by his own parents not long after his mother's death. His younger sister was beaten to death by her uncle and sold to someone for a ghost marriage. He fared even worse; he was sold directly to a wealthy merchant family and remained there until he was twelve. He escaped and lived in anonymity, studying diligently to seek revenge.
[After passing the imperial examination with top honors, he imprisoned his uncle's entire family, dug up his grandparents' graves, whipped their corpses, and ground their bones into powder. He continued to torment his uncle's family. The family that had married his sister in a ghost marriage was forced by him to dig up his sister's body, rebury her, and then buried them next to his sister, making them her servants.]
[And what about the young master who prefers the south wind?]
[This person was turned into a human pig, and his abusive behavior towards men was made public. His entire family was raided and killed. In reality, he was turned into a human pig and placed opposite his uncle's dungeon, so that his uncle's family could watch over him every day.]
Anyway, he only arrests bad people, those who harm him.
[He's so pitiful! Beauty really does bring trouble. I hope some girl can save him. I want An Yi to write this into a story... Waaah... Beauty, you're so pitiful!]
