Chen Zhiyi thought that Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites had no scruples, and Shen Zhiyi, who was really hungry, had no scruples either.
The two of them started eating happily.
“This roast duck tastes really good.”
Shen Zhiyi nodded in agreement.
After the meal, Chen Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites went about his business.
Shen Zhiyi continued to hang around, helping out a little from time to time.
"Ouch."
Shen Zhiyi held her stomach, looking at the Minister of Rites who was still talking about precautions in front of her, she bent over and walked secretly towards the toilet.
When I reached the door, I bumped into someone who was also bending over.
When he looked up, he saw Chen Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites sitting opposite him, and he was also holding his stomach.
The two looked at each other, and Shen Zhiyi took advantage of his youth to grab the toilet.
Chen Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites was crying outside.
Thinking that Shen Zhiyi was a girl, he stayed away and waited.
[This stupid Shangshu Province, why did they only build one toilet? 】
Chen Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites outside: My aunt, please hurry up.
The two of them pulled like this, one in front and one behind, for the entire day, and only rested at night.
Shen Zhiyi thought she had it done, but it started again the next day.
Hearing the news that Shen Zhiyi had come to ask for leave again, the old emperor thought something was wrong.
"What happened to the kid? Why did he ask for leave again?"
Chen Decai bent down and said, "Chen Lang seems to have a stomachache these past two days, and he and Chen Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites have been fighting over the use of the Shangshu Province's toilet every day."
The old emperor threw away the memorial in his hand and leaned back in his chair.
"Bring the person here, and then go to the Imperial Hospital to call the hospital administrator over."
“Yes.”
Shen Zhiyi's face, whose stomach was still slightly uncomfortable, was as pale as a vegetable. In addition, she was forced to come to work by the old emperor, and she felt unhappy.
"Your Majesty."
"Come here and sit here."
The old emperor pointed to a chair not far away, which was padded with soft cushions, and Shen Zhiyi felt comfortable sitting on it.
But when the old emperor is around, you have to sit up straight.
[What is the old emperor singing about? ]
Before Shen Zhiyi could double over, an imperial physician had already started taking Shen Zhiyi's pulse.
Shen Zhiyi quickly withdrew his hand.
[Oh my god, I remember that the imperial physician seemed to be able to tell the gender of a boy or girl by taking the pulse. If he did that, I would be so upset.]
The director of the Imperial Hospital was speechless for a moment.
"I was the one who took your pulse the last time Shen Lang was injured."
Shen Zhiyi's breathing stagnated, and he blinked his big eyes and looked at the other person.
[It’s over, it’s over. Has my identity been exposed? It’s over, it’s over. Am I going to be beheaded? 】
[System system, please come quickly to save your host who is loved by everyone, flowers bloom when he sees them, and tires burst when cars see him! ]
System: Zizi... System maintenance in progress...
【Depend on! 】
As if he had noticed that Shen Zhiyi was about to cry, the Imperial Hospital Director quickly found an excuse.
"The last time I checked Chen Lang's pulse, it was steady and strong, and he didn't look like he was seriously ill. This time he suddenly went to the toilet so many times, I think he must have eaten something wrong. Chen Lang, don't be afraid to see a doctor."
[Uh, this is all you got last time?]
Shen Zhiyi looked at the other party suspiciously, then looked at the old emperor, and then flipped through his own system.
[From the surveillance video, it seems that the other party has no unusual expression at all. 】
The old emperor laughed when he heard this, how could Shen Zhiyi, who was so careless, read the expressions on other people's faces?
[And if the director of the Imperial Hospital really knew that I was a woman, he would have told the old emperor a long time ago. He didn't tell me that means he didn't know I was a woman. If that's the case, then the TV series is lying to me again? Isn't it said that they can tell whether a person is a man or a woman by taking the pulse? ]
Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau: This time the TV series really didn’t lie to you. It really showed the truth. But everyone knows that you are a woman.
"Shen Lang?"
Shen Zhiyi, who had no scruples, stretched out his wrist this time.
"What has Shen Lang eaten recently?"
"Oh, I ate roast duck, pancakes, steamed buns, braised pork, braised beef, wontons, noodles..."
Director of the Imperial Hospital: ...
He held it in for a while, but finally couldn't help asking, "You've had diarrhea recently, so how can you eat so much when you have diarrhea?"
Shen Zhiyi felt wronged.
"Having diarrhea won't stop me from eating, right?"
Director of the Imperial Hospital: ...
The old emperor suppressed his smile and said, "He is only a young man, and he is still growing. It is normal for him to eat more."
【That’s right.】
[But I now know why the old emperor called me over to have the imperial physician check my pulse. The imperial examination will be held the day after tomorrow. If I still have diarrhea on the day of the examination, then hell be it.]
[How can an examiner keep going to the toilet? ]
The director of the Imperial Medical Bureau loosened his hand, his expression not too good.
"Your Majesty, Shen Lang probably didn't have a stomachache, but was drugged."
Drugged?
Shen Zhiyi looked confused, and she silently pointed at herself.
I?
Drugged?
[Who drugged me? ]
The old emperor immediately understood the whole thing.
"Let the Minister of Justice come here. This matter needs to be investigated."
Soon, the serious old man, the Minister of Justice, came to see the emperor right after dinner. After hearing about this, he immediately understood something.
"Your Majesty, I will investigate this thoroughly."
"The examination will be held the day after tomorrow, and I want the results tomorrow."
[Damn it, old emperor, you are too oppressive! ]
The old emperor glanced at Shen Zhiyi.
It's good to know. Why don't you check your surveillance system to see who drugged you.
Who would have thought that Shen Zhiyi scolded him in his mind for a full half hour before he stopped.
[I remember that Chen Yuanwailang from the Ministry of Rites had diarrhea at the same time as me. It seemed to be because of the roast duck?]
[Wow, wow, wow, you really shouldn't eat roast duck on the roadside. Now, eating it has brought disaster upon you.]
Shen Zhiyi regretted it and slapped himself on the mouth silently.
[Mouth, mouth, why are you so shameless? How dare you eat something of unknown origin? It's all Mr. Chen's fault! If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have eaten it at all. ]
The Minister of Justice, who got a clue, left quickly.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Shen Zhiyi was drugged at this critical moment. It was obvious that someone was planning to cheat during the imperial examination and was afraid that Shen Zhiyi would appear at the scene and be exposed.
Shen Zhiyi was furious about being drugged.
After I got back, I didn't sleep all night and watched the surveillance video all night.
[Damn, who is this? It's too secretive. So many people took over the roast duck business. He mentioned this and that. There must be something wrong.]
Officials from the Ministry of Justice were still working overtime late at night.
Looking at the more than fifty people who had been caught carrying food boxes in front of him, he couldn't help but curse.
"Fuck me, which bastard did this? Bah! Don't let me catch you or I'll beat you to death."
These fifty people are not the upper limit, and the number of people in the Ministry of Justice is still increasing tonight.
In the end, there were a full one hundred people!
The Minister of Justice came to Yanying Palace to see the old emperor with a rage in his heart.
