"Oh, sorry to bother you, eunuch." Eunuch Cao was about to leave when Ji Yingying handed him a bag of preserved duck and said, "Eunuch, I got this from the farm. Take it back and eat it. Don't let the emperor know. Eat it yourself."
Eunuch Cao thanked him quickly and gave a few more instructions before leaving.
The Emperor breathed a sigh of relief when the person returned, but the return time was far too fast.
Normally, a horse-drawn carriage would take two hours to arrive, but this bicycle only took less than an hour. It seems that I have to talk to the Ministry of Industry and the bicycle must be delivered.
"Your Majesty, His Highness has returned a preserved duck to this servant."
The emperor turned around to look at him and then said, "Didn't you bring anything for me?"
The Emperor knew that if Ji Yingying went to the estate, she would definitely take everything from it.
"No...that cured duck..."
"Here you go, just take it. That girl is kind-hearted, she just loves to bully me."
"Your Majesty, His Highness is only doing this because he cares about you."
The Emperor remained silent, only sighing... If you're going to be close to him, don't reveal his bedroom affairs or his childhood stories; they're not presentable at all.
The next morning, Ji Yingying went to court while gnawing on a cured chicken leg. When the emperor came, Ji Yingying was still gnawing on it secretly. The emperor saw it but pretended not to notice.
Minister Gong then mentioned the seeds that Ji Yingying had taken out yesterday and praised them again.
Ji Yingying had someone watch her, put away the chicken leg, her hands were oily and uncomfortable, then she approached the person in front of her and carefully wiped her hands with the official's robe.
The person behind her must have been shocked!
Another piece of clothing got dirty.
Ji Yingying
“Ah…I…Your subject is here…” Ji Yingying immediately raised her hand.
"I heard you got another bicycle yesterday?"
"That was borrowed, borrowed from someone else. Didn't Minister Gong dismantle my car? He even paid me back the money."
[Just kidding, it's my car, how could I possibly take it out? If I did, I'd be so poor I wouldn't be able to eat.]
"In that case, you and the Ministry of Works should work together to study the bicycle these next two days. It would be best to have the bicycle developed by next spring."
Ji Yingying: ………
[This is so difficult... I'm so young, but the pressure is immense. I'm not a scientist, I really don't know what to do with this bicycle.]
[Aren't there wooden bicycles? Why not just research in that direction?]
"If you can think of it, why can't I? But I don't know how to fix the tires, brake pads, and that zipper—those three are the most troublesome."
She is just a small Minister of Works, how could she understand these things? Blame her. Why did she let these big guys see the bicycle? Look, she is the one who is in trouble, right?
"Ji Yingying, you just need to assist; let the Ministry of Works handle the rest."
"yes"
Ji Yingying returned to her seat, but the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but ask, "Xiangxiang, I want to gossip about the Emperor again. He treated me like this; I'm going to eat my fill of his gossip."
[You already know that the Emperor wet his pants when he was three years old, what else would you like to know?]
Who did he lose his virginity to?
They gave her a palace maid, but unfortunately, she was gone the next day.
How did it disappear?
When his mother found out, she simply got rid of it. He wanted to sleep with her, and even if he did, he wouldn't live to enjoy it.
Okay, are there any other juicy stories?
[That's all. You've already dug up what color the Emperor's underwear was, and you're still asking? Let me tell you some other gossip instead.]
Xiangxiang was used to it. Whenever the Emperor made things difficult for her, Ji Yingying would gossip about him, and she always succeeded.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the current emperor. He has become much more restrained and there are no more melons.
Okay, let's talk about the other gossip.
Most of the melons in the palace are white, so there's not much of a problem.
Look at that person in front of you, the one whose clothes you used as a rag today.
Then, Ji Yingying looked over, and the man became nervous. He had already gone through everything he had done recently in his mind, but still couldn't find any problems.
I don't even know what to say about him!
Could it be that she revealed that I accidentally ate croton seeds the day before yesterday and had diarrhea all day?
[He is also white, there is no big melon...] There is no melon to eat in the entire hall. This group of people are really good officials. They don’t do anything illegal or against discipline, don’t visit brothels, and are only dedicated to serving the people. It makes her feel bored when she goes to court.
[Who said that? He was being used.]
[By whom? How were they used? And why is it still white? This isn't working!]
[He was manipulated by his wife. A member of her family had committed a crime, and while he hasn't been caught yet, he's terrified. He approached his wife, who was too afraid to do anything herself. So, she secretly used his name to get things done. That day, she put croton seeds in his bowl, and then used his name to get someone who hadn't committed a crime to take the blame for her brother-in-law.]
Has he been arrested yet?
[He's been arrested and is being held at the Dali Temple. Lord Gongsun is quite capable; he sensed something was amiss and is still investigating discreetly.]
What did his brother-in-law do wrong?
[He raped a maidservant, and during the act... he killed her. She was buried in a room. Her family couldn't contact her for a long time, so they reported it to the authorities.]
Goodness... what is he afraid of? He's making it so secretive, it'll probably be hard to find out.
[This isn't even your detective brother; he's elevated the Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review to an unimaginable level. The Court of Judicial Review is now a terrifying institution in the eyes of the people; it seems they can uncover even the smallest mistake.]
【I see. 】
The maid's family had already filed a complaint with the Dali Temple. When the wife's younger brother received the news, he became frightened and immediately ordered his men to deal with the matter. He even threatened his wife, insisting that the maid be punished, since he was the only male in the family.
His wife is obedient, so she just gave him the chrysanthemum and then quietly went out to take care of it.
[How high a position does his brother-in-law hold? He actually wants someone to pay with their life?]
[His wife came from a humble background; none of her family members held a rank of fifth grade.]
No wonder...
The person in front had already wiped his sweat. No wonder there seemed to be something wrong with the wife at home these past two days.
Just as he was about to stand up and confess his guilt, the emperor told him to go back and handle the matter and make sure it is handled properly.
He didn't know about this after all.
The adult immediately stood up to express his gratitude, leaving Ji Yingying confused as to what was going on.
Where is that maid buried?
Xiangxiang gave her an address, and Ji Yingying replied, "I'll remind Lord Gongsun later."
[Host, you're increasingly displaying the demeanor of a chivalrous hero.]
[Heh, it's because you threatened me, otherwise, you'd see if I would have intervened.] Ji Yingying has always adhered to the principle of putting aside the desire to help others and respecting the fate of others.
She would only take action against those who were utterly heinous.
[We must intervene, we are good people!]
This definitely needs to be reported; someone has died.
