Chapter 182: A Large Ghost Circle Love Triangle
Huangfu Chengyu suddenly fell silent. From what Jian Yue saw, the man suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The system security value on Jian Yue's side suddenly reminded him like crazy: [The current security value has dropped to 20%]
【19%】
【18%】
【17%……】
Jian Yue's eyes widened in astonishment. He couldn't understand why his safety score suddenly dropped so quickly. Is this reasonable? Isn't it just a request to become a regular employee? Why are you angry?
The boss's heart is really unpredictable!
It’s hard to be a worker, and it’s even harder to be a worker for a big boss!
Seeing that the safety value was about to continue to drop, Jian Yue hurriedly said, "Wait! Wait! Your Majesty, I have changed my mind!"
Huangfu Chengyu narrowed his eyes. The man sat on the chair, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. He curled his lips and said slowly: "Tell me about it."
Jian Yue didn't care why the emperor deducted his life points. He quickly said, "Your Majesty, I have thought about it carefully. Sometimes, becoming a regular employee is not that important."
Huangfu Chengyu asked: "Why don't you want to think about it again?"
Although he didn't know what the word "promotion" meant, he could guess it from the way Steward Wang was stingy with his monthly salary. The emperor didn't intend to comment on the fact that the steward he had just promoted was a money-grubber.
only……
Didn’t this guy say he liked me?
Such a good opportunity for him to get close to me, but I just asked for a raise? Was it really just an excuse to save my life?
Jian Yue's nervous brain worked rapidly under Huangfu Chengyu's gaze. He gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay if I don't become a regular employee for the time being. Otherwise, I'll change my request, Your Majesty."
Huangfu Chengyu smiled. The man had a fair face and his narrow eyes were dark when he smiled, always with an overly gentle evil nature. His voice was low: "Why do you want to change? I also think the request you just made is very good."
Jian Yue: “…”
Listening to the system in my ear that is still broadcasting:
"15%"
"14%"
"13%..."
If you really think it's a good idea, Your Majesty, please don't lower my safety rating! ! What on earth did this request touch your heart? Why do you have the intention to kill me? ! I just want some money from you, not to steal your wife! ! I want to make you a widower, what hatred or grudge do you have! ! !
Jian Yue complained quickly in his heart, but his face was completely honest. Seeing that his safety value was about to be reduced to the point of being marked in red, he was so scared that he started to talk nonsense: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have thought about it carefully. It is too superficial to ask for a promotion and a raise! I have decided to get rid of this low-level interest!"
Huangfu Chengyu raised an eyebrow and ignored the confusing words. After spending so much time with Manager Wang, he had learned to ignore the weird words he would say from time to time: "Oh?"
Do you want other gold, silver, and jewelry, or power?
Huangfu Chengyu’s thoughts surged for a few moments.
Jian Yue said quickly, "I want to move closer to His Majesty. It would be best if I could live next to His Majesty!"
“…”
The room was silent for a moment.
Huangfu Chengyu paused while pinching Jian Yue's chin, then slowly loosened his grip. Jian Yue felt that his gaze towards her was filled with mixed emotions. The emperor asked, "Are you sure you want to make this request?"
Jian Yue nodded: "Yeah!"
Gap—
He found himself being given gifts and too many people knew where he lived. He took all the money but did not betray the emperor or do anything. Those people would definitely cause trouble for him. However, if he continued to live with the emperor, he would naturally be much safer. Not to mention those who wanted to kill him inside and outside the palace, the ghosts that always chased him at night would be much quieter.
If you think about it carefully, this is simply a win-win situation!
Huangfu Chengyu said: "I can make you a regular employee and reward you with gold and silver, but if you just want to be transferred to my side, then you will have nothing."
Having said that.
But the reduction in safety value stopped, and it increased from 13% to 17%!
Jian Yue thought that he was too narrow-minded just now. It seems that being close to the emperor really increases his safety! Afraid that the boss would not give him this opportunity to cling to his thighs, the strong desire to survive stimulated the potential of the worker: "Your Majesty! I am sincere! The world can witness my heart for you. What are those material things important? My greatest wish is to be with you all the time!"
He spoke with great force and from the bottom of his heart (shocked by his life value)
Huangfu Chengyu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Really? Why?"
Jian Yue was stunned: "What?"
Huangfu Chengyu reminded him, "Why did you choose this requirement?"
Of course it’s to survive!
Jian Yue answered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it when he looked up at Huangfu Chengyu's face. He thought about it and said honestly: "Because I found that there is no better reward in this palace than staying by your majesty's side."
Huangfu Chengyu said: "I'm afraid no one thinks this way except you."
Jian Yue said: "Your Majesty is the master of the world, and there is no one who doesn't want to be by your side."
Huangfu Chengyu didn't respond to this, he just said: "I'm coming."
A young eunuch came in hurriedly from outside. He was one of the few surviving eunuchs who were not replaced in the hall this time. He had been staying with Huangfu Chengyu for a while.
Huangfu Chengyu said to him, "Come to me."
The young eunuch seemed to have heard something horrible, and he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare my life!"
Huangfu Chengyu looked at the man kneeling on the ground as if he was about to face some kind of ferocious beast, and said calmly, "Go down."
The young eunuch felt relieved and kowtowed and left.
Jian Yue was stunned. Damn, how could someone have such a smooth combo?
Huangfu Chengyu glanced at him and said, "See? This is the attitude that people in the palace should have towards me."
Jian Yue said: "Why are they like this?"
Huangfu Chengyu said calmly: "What you should say is, why don't you do this? Do you really want to serve me, or..."
His words stopped at his lips.
Jian Yue felt as if a chill had come out of his body again. Huangfu Chengyu looked at him, stretched out his hand and pinched Jian Yue's chin easily, forcing him to look at him. He asked, "Is it because you were instructed by someone?"
Huangfu Chengyu exudes a fierce and powerful aura.
Jian Yue was stunned and said, "Who can tell me what to do? I can't even help you put on your clothes."
Huangfu Chengyu was stunned.
Jian Yue also stared at him blankly.
After a while.
Jian Yue heard a chuckle.
The emperor laughed again, a low laugh, not the usual meaningful sneer, but a joyful laugh. He laughed again today, and it seemed as if the ice on the Tianshan Mountains had melted.
Then Jian Yue heard him say, "That makes sense."
Jian Yue: “…”
Hey! Don’t I have any dignity?!
Huangfu Chengyu let Jian Yue go and said, "Since this is your request, I will grant your wish."
Jian Yue said: "Really? That's great. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Huangfu Chengyu saw that his smile was indeed genuine, so he asked, "Are you so happy to be by my side?"
Jian Yue thought to himself, how could he not be happy to have a stable job? He smiled and said, "I am happy."
Huangfu Chengyu: "Why?"
He doesn't like to ask why.
But when facing Jian Yue, he always couldn't help asking more questions, because he couldn't guess Jian Yue's heart. Huangfu Chengyu had lived in an environment full of conspiracies and calculations since he was a child. There was no good in this world without reason. Everything was about interests, and interests were mixed in it, but he couldn't figure Jian Yue out.
Huangfu Chengyu doesn't like uncertain people and things. Such uncertain factors that cannot be controlled are annoying.
But he raised his eyes.
Seeing Jian Yue's brilliant smile, there was no magazine in her eyes, only a smile in her clean and pure eyes. She looked at him with a smile that was full of joy.
Jian Yue has already entered the working state, cherishing the thigh that he has finally embraced: "Your Majesty, can I move in tonight? I will go back to pack up in the afternoon. By the way, what should we have for lunch? You had a little cough this morning. How about I ask the kitchen to stew some pear soup for you, which is good for moistening the lungs? There is also a dinner party in the evening. I will talk to them and ask them to use less spicy food, otherwise you will not be able to sleep well at night..."
Huangfu Chengyu just listened to him chattering in his ear.
The originally quiet study became lively because of Jian Yue's chattering, and the sound of his chattering gradually reduced his murderous intent due to his habit of suspicion.
That's all.
Huangfu Chengyu retracted his gaze and said, "It's up to you. I don't care."
Jian Yue was happy. He said, "Really? Your Majesty, do you mean that I can arrange it? Then I'll ask them to add some bitter melon soup. This is great and very effective for hypoglycemia. When I asked the kitchen to make it yesterday, you didn't eat a single bite. This is not good. How can you be so picky about food? Although what I said is unpleasant to hear and you may punish me, now you have finally figured it out..."
Huangfu Chengyu: "General Manager Wang."
Jian Yue was interrupted and blinked at him: "Huh?"
Huangfu Chengyu said calmly: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will punish you now."
Jian Yue took a deep breath and said, "Okay then."
Huangfu Chengyu was just about to relax.
Jian Yue ran quickly: "Then your majesty, drink it tomorrow, and I will go make tea for you!"
Huangfu Chengyu: "..."
Jian Yue ran outside to make tea. The emperor had his own unique habit of making tea. His tea drinking habits were relatively fixed. He usually only drank Ziyun tea. This kind of tea tasted very bitter, but had a sweet aftertaste and had a refreshing effect. Most people were actually not used to drinking it because most people did not like its bitter taste at the beginning of the drink.
A young eunuch came over and said, "General Manager, we are going to hold a farewell banquet for Master Yan in the evening. The list of guests for the banquet has been announced."
Jian Yue took the list. This was the good thing about being an official, intelligence and information came faster. He unfolded the list, which included quite a few ministers. He simply skipped over the dazzling array of names. The concubines from the harem were also the ones who came to Bailu Temple this time. Of course, the most important thing was that the empress dowager and the imperial teacher were both on the list.
I also have a limited-time mission.
Jian Yue’s limited-time task is to investigate the strange fragrance on the national teacher.
The young eunuch said, "The food bureau's list has also been delivered. Please review your Majesty's food list."
Jian Yue examined the dishes one by one and eliminated a few. He said, "These two are both irritants and very hot. They are hard to digest at night. Don't serve them. This fruit is cold in nature. Change to something warm..."
The young eunuch didn't understand words like "digestion" at all. He just thought that Butler Wang was too professional and could pay attention to such trivial matters. Butler Zhao never cared about these things before. Butler Zhao only paid attention to who came to the banquet today, who sat closer to His Majesty, and the disputes among the officials. Only Butler Wang cared about His Majesty's health.
After Jian Yue finished selecting, he said, "Let me take a look at the meal list for the court officials."
The young eunuch handed it over. Jian Yue looked at a few of them and said, "It's been hot these past two days. It's very hot in the back hall. You can have some ice cream to cool you down."
"Yes, I will raise this matter with the Catering Bureau." The young eunuch said hurriedly.
Jian Yue nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The audience in the live broadcast room were all amused when they saw Jian Yue's serious look:
"I specially served smoothies to the others."
"Isn't this a great gift package?"
"The old man, the Imperial Master, would have to run to the toilet if he ate it."
"Butler Wang, you are such a smart guy!"
Everyone was talking.
In the afternoon, Jian Yue simply packed up his things and moved to the side hall next to the emperor's main hall. It was very close to the emperor's bedroom and quite convenient.
After cleaning up, he went back to Xinzheku to visit the injured young eunuch.
The young eunuch was named Xiao Anzi. When he saw Jian Yue, he burst into tears and said, "You saved my life. I will repay you by working like a cow or a horse!"
Jian Yue said: "You don't have to work like a slave. It was not me who saved you, but His Majesty. It was His Majesty who gave me the right to save you. After your injury is healed, just serve His Majesty in the main hall."
Xiao Anzi was shocked. It was said that His Majesty was cruel and heartless, so how could he care about the lives of lowly servants like them? However, seeing that Jian Yue did not seem to be a fake, he nodded quickly and said, "I understand. My friends..."
Jian Yue said: "You should have a good rest. They are all fine. I will arrange for them when they have finished their studies."
Xiao Anzi burst into tears of gratitude again.
Jian Yue stayed for a while before leaving. He wanted to cultivate some confidants of his own, but such confidants could not be loyal only to himself, otherwise the emperor would definitely be afraid of him. Loyalty to the emperor was the most solid. His teammates in various palaces were already there, and the next step was to find a way to replace all the servants in the main hall with his own people.
One cannot become fat in one breath. He must slowly build this place into a solid fortress in order to protect the emperor.
Now the emperor is his boss!
He absolutely would not allow anyone else to harm the boss who paid him! ! !
evening.
The back hall of Bailu Temple is brightly lit.
All the officials came because of the flood. The imperial preceptor sat below the emperor, followed by the empress dowager, then the concubines. Noble Lady Liu and Noble Lady Yin were lined up next to each other, and there were some other unfamiliar concubines, but only four or five in total. The emperor had very few concubines in his harem, and there was no empress dowager yet.
Concubine Liu has already colluded with Jian Yue.
After Jian Yue got the clothes and things from the Imperial Master, she was responsible for checking whether the pharmacology was poisonous.
Jian Yue said to her, "There must be someone by the emperor's side at all times. I can't leave, but I've already made arrangements. The imperial master's stomach must have been affected by the smoothie, which conflicts with the medicinal effects of the fruit on his table. He will definitely have a stomachache. I've already found out that he has mysophobia and will definitely change his clothes. You can use your disguise card to collect his clothes."
Lady Liu said, "What should I take from him?"
Jian Yue handed her his black gold ore and said, "Make sure that the things he has on him have the same smell as this thing. Don't take his things so that he won't find out. Do everything according to your ability. If you are in danger, run away. I have arranged for Gao Fei and others to meet you outside."
Concubine Liu was shocked: "You have so many subordinates?"
Jian Yue said: "It's not my men, it's other players. You will know when the time comes."
Concubine Liu said that she had stayed in the palace for so long because she could not go anywhere due to her status as a palace concubine, but it turned out that Butler Wang had a network of contacts all over the world!
"Don't worry." Concubine Liu said, "This is a small matter that is much easier than detoxifying the emperor. I will definitely not mess it up this time!"
Jian Yue said: "Let's do it!"
They answered at the banquet.
All the people from all parties were there. The Imperial Master was originally chatting with the Queen Mother, but suddenly, while eating, his face changed.
The servant beside the Imperial Master asked nervously, "What's wrong, sir?"
"No problem." The Imperial Master raised his hand, and then said to everyone, "This old minister has some urgent matters, I'm afraid I have to leave for a while."
The emperor looked up at him, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Is the Imperial Master feeling unwell?"
The Imperial Master's face froze for a moment, then he quickly smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I'm old."
The emperor said, "Take the imperial teacher down quickly, and ask the imperial physician to come and take a look."
The Imperial Master held his stomach and said, "It's okay. I'll be back soon."
The emperor did not stop him.
The Queen Mother watched the Imperial Master leave with a worried look on her face. She said, "The Imperial Master has worked hard for the country over the years and has made great contributions. He has managed to survive despite his poor health. The Emperor should comfort him more often."
She already knew that the emperor had detained Yan Wenxiang in the north.
Huangfu Chengyu smiled and said, "Madam, do you think I have failed to comfort the Imperial Master?"
The empress dowager paused, and when she met the emperor's uncompromising gaze, she knew that he was not prepared to give in. She felt a little unhappy and thought that the emperor was somewhat out of her control.
I decided to vent my anger right away.
The Queen Mother took a look at the food in front of her and said, "Why is today's dinner so plain? There is not even any meat to whet the appetite. Who arranged this meal for the Emperor?"
The atmosphere among the crowd paused.
Jian Yue quickly said, "Your Majesty, this was arranged by me."
The Queen Mother snorted coldly, "Is this how you take care of His Majesty?"
Jian Yue said, "Your Majesty has caught a cold these past few days, and the imperial physician has advised you not to eat spicy food, so I dare not disobey."
The Queen Mother froze. She glared at Jian Yue unhappily and said, "Even if they are not spicy, the newly-tributed fruits and vegetables should be fresh."
Jian Yue replied, "Your Majesty, those fruits are somewhat cold in nature and will not help your Majesty's recovery. I am following the advice of the imperial physician and dare not do anything reckless."
The Queen Mother vented her anger for a while but failed to vent it. She could only take a deep breath and said, "If that's the case, then forget it."
Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief.
I finally passed this level.
At the same time, the system panel in front of him popped up and said: "The [Incense on the National Master] mission is still completed, and the reward for refreshing the card without cooldown has been issued!"
It seems that Concubine Liu is making smooth progress!
Jian Yue was delighted, thinking that they must have found some clues and all their efforts tonight were not in vain.
Before he could be happy, he saw the national teacher coming back angrily. The old man's white beard was standing up with anger.
Everyone looked over, and the Queen Mother asked, "What happened to the Imperial Master?"
Others also looked over curiously. After all, the Imperial Master was now the supreme ruler of power, so his status was naturally self-evident.
The Imperial Master didn't say anything, and a eunuch beside him said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, when the Imperial Master was changing clothes in the back, the servant who was helping him was clumsy and hurt his waist."
The Queen Mother was shocked: "What?!"
The Imperial Master raised his hand and said, "It's not a hindrance. It's just that when I stood up, I bumped into something. But that servant is indeed clumsy."
"How dare such a clumsy servant hurt the Imperial Master?" The Queen Mother said coldly, "Drag him away and beat him to death."
Jian Yue's eyes were shocked, and he looked at the Imperial Master, who also had a sneer on his face. Jian Yue understood that the person who took the clothes must have discovered something, and the Imperial Master wanted to kill him to silence him. Although he just said it now, the person might have been killed.
Could it be that Lady Liu...
Jian Yue's heart was shocked, and his thoughts turned around a thousand times. But before he could confirm it, the Queen Mother's spear was already pointed at him. He said, "Manager Wang! You are in charge of the arrangements for this banquet, how could such a thing happen? Do you admit your guilt!"
All eyes turned over.
Jian Yue knelt down and said, "I admit my guilt."
The Imperial Master stood not far away, looking at this place with a smile, but his eyes were also cold. He said: "This matter has nothing to do with Chief Steward Wang, but these servants really need to be taught well. After all, Chief Steward Wang is new and probably has no experience. I will send someone with more experience to take good care of you tomorrow."
This is their purpose.
Jian Yue knew that if he admitted it now, there would be another thorn in the emperor's side.
He didn't need to look back, as he knew the emperor must be looking at him, and he absolutely could not plead guilty. If he withdrew, it would mean that the emperor withdrew.
With cold sweat on his back, Jian Yue raised his head and said, "I am guilty of not managing my subordinates well, but the Imperial Master's back injury is no small matter, so we should ask the Imperial Doctor to take a look at his back first."
The Imperial Master was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury, I'll be fine when I go back."
"How can this be possible?" Jian Yue interrupted him and said, "No matter what happens to the Imperial Master, it's no small matter. Your Majesty, Queen Mother, what do you think?"
The Queen Mother did not expect him to be so bold!
The emperor curled his lips and smiled.
The Imperial Master immediately said, "I know my own body very well. I'm afraid the doctors' medical skills are not as good as mine..."
The Queen Mother also said: "If that's the case, then we won't force it, just let it go."
It seemed like he was about to be fooled.
A golden light flashed in front of Jian Yue:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Rumor: The reason why the Imperial Master was unwilling to see the imperial physician in the palace was because he actually had a tattoo on his waist with the Chinese character "皇". He grew up with the late emperor and the empress dowager. When the empress dowager was still the empress, the Imperial Master had this character tattooed on her and he often visited the palace!!]
After this gossip passed.
The Queen Mother's face froze.
Jian Yue was also stunned. It turned out that the Imperial Master and the Queen Mother were having an affair! ! They were quite affectionate! !
As a result, he didn't even finish eating the melon.
Another golden light flashed by:
【Eight Triggers】:
[Rumor: The word "Huang" in the Imperial Master's name actually means "Emperor". The person he truly loves in his heart is the late emperor. Seeing the Queen Mother is just an excuse. In fact, he wants to spend more time with the late emperor!!]
Jian Yue: “…”
No, is this still a horror copy?
Even the new Goblin love triangle from the palace version can be eaten? !
