Chapter 43 The Charlatan Imperial Advisor Was Captured by the Dark-Faced Tyrant 01
"Guards! Drag this useless piece of trash out and behead him!"
Yu Sheng rubbed her slightly dizzy temples, startled by such a sentence as soon as she entered the new world.
Who is this guy? Why is he so temperamental?
Yu Sheng looked up and met a pair of cold, familiar faces.
Yu Sheng: "..."
Okay, it really is you.
888 chuckled: "So, you're eyeing your husband again, aren't you happy? How about I send you straight to the dragon bed tonight?"
Yu Sheng felt that 888's words were mixed with personal grudges, and the resentment was overwhelming.
So what if it was put in a dark room a few times in the last world? It ended up turning evil.
888: Say that again? How many times? I'm really fed up with you two doing this every few days!
Yu Sheng: "Put away your resentment. What's the mission for this world?"
888 revealed a mysterious smile: "Honey, it's the Tyrant Transformation Plan~ Friendly reminder: once you successfully become his wife, his love-struck brain will automatically transform him."
Yu Sheng: "..."
Thinking of Chu Yunqi from the previous world, Yu Sheng stole another glance at the tyrant sitting on the dragon throne, feeling that the tyrant didn't seem like someone who was love-struck.
888: Ha, Chu Yunxi wasn't love-obsessed before, but didn't she eventually turn herself into a late-stage love-obsessed person?
The tyrant, seated on his high throne, keenly noticed Yu Sheng's frequent glances at him. He toyed with his wine glass in his right hand, his expression mocking.
"Your Excellency the Grand Preceptor keeps glancing at me; is there something you dislike about me?"
After receiving the original owner's memories, Yu Sheng learned that her identity was the current Grand Preceptor of the Li Kingdom, in charge of the Imperial Observatory.
The good news is that the identity is good, but the bad news is that the original owner was a charlatan who had pretended to be crazy to fool the late emperor, which is how he became the national advisor.
What's worse, you know the original owner knew he was a fraud, yet he still fantasized about that position.
The tyrant Xie Hanzhou had long disliked him for secretly forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices.
Yu Sheng couldn't help but curse the original owner several times.
Did you leave him with such a mess?
Yu Sheng stepped forward and said, “Your Majesty, I naturally have no objection to Your Majesty. I just have something to say, but I don’t know if I should say it.”
Your Majesty believes that although Lord Fei is somewhat useless, he has served as an official for many years. Your Majesty should make good use of him by sending him to the southwest to fulfill his educational duties.
Xie Hanzhou paused upon hearing this.
Why are you asking me if I should say it when you've already said it?
Upon hearing this, Lord Fei, who was still kneeling on the ground awaiting his fate, turned a deep shade of liver. "Yu Sheng, you—"
The others in the court covered their mouths and chuckled.
Lord Lin, who usually disliked Lord Fei the most, immediately burst out laughing upon hearing Yu Sheng's words, "The Grand Preceptor is right, isn't that exactly what 'waste' means!"
"You!" Lord Fei gritted his teeth and glared at them angrily.
"Your Majesty, although I am not as tactful as other officials, I am still wholeheartedly devoted to Your Majesty. As a weak civil official, I fear I would not return from such a barbarian land in the southwest!"
The Prime Minister crossed his arms and looked disdainfully at Lord Fei on the ground. "Barbarian land? It seems that's how Lord Fei usually thinks of the people in the southwest of my country. The people there are simple and honest. Lord Fei only went there to teach them farming, language, and food. Why can't you go?"
"Furthermore, what weak civil official could kill a pig with one punch? Everyone in the capital knows that Lord Fei killed a pig with his fists before the New Year!"
Lord Fei: Damn it, the Southwest is so great, why don't you go there yourself? Besides, I only knocked the pig unconscious, it was still breathing!
Lord Fei was indignant, but there was nothing he could do.
Xie Hanzhou then spoke up, "Lord Fei, please don't. I don't want your heart. What you're saying is giving me goosebumps."
Lord Fei: "..."
"In that case, let's do as the Grand Preceptor says!"
"Your Majesty—Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Lord Fei remained kneeling, refusing to rise. Xie Hanzhou spoke with a faint, sorrowful tone, "So... Lord Fei is going to defy the imperial decree?"
Lord Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Your subject accepts the decree."
As he stood up, he didn't forget to glare at Yu Sheng, who was standing next to the Prime Minister.
Yu Sheng: "..."
Why are you looking at him? If he hadn't said that earlier, that Lord Fei would probably have been killed on the spot.
Although the words were unpleasant, at least he was spared from death. This Lord Fei truly lives up to his surname; he can't even see through this. I really don't know how he got into the court as an official.
"It's been many days since I last saw the Imperial Preceptor. Why do I feel that the Imperial Preceptor has changed a lot?" Xie Hanzhou suddenly spoke, looking at Yu Sheng with a forced smile.
"Is that so? Perhaps it's because Your Majesty hasn't seen me for a long time, so you'll naturally feel that I've changed a bit."
"Oh? Then it seems I should visit the Imperial Advisor more often and have a chat with him."
"Alright, all of you, step back. You're all driving me crazy. I really want to chop you all up!"
The assembled officials looked at each other, terrified.
In reality, they were truly afraid of Xie Hanzhou.
He would kill people at the slightest disagreement. In just three years since he ascended the throne, nearly half of the officials in the court have been killed by his orders.
The officials below were terrified of when it would be their turn, and they all kept their tails between their legs when they were in office.
Of course, there are inevitably some who aren't quite right in the head, like Lord Fei.
Even if Lord Fei's mind was slow, he realized that Yu Sheng had just helped him. His face immediately turned red, and he dared not look Yu Sheng in the eye.
A eunuch standing nearby shouted at the top of his lungs, "Court adjourned!"
The officials bowed and shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
Xie Hanzhou paused as he was leaving. "Grand Preceptor, I have something to say to you."
The ministers glanced at Yu Sheng's figure and couldn't help but wonder if that tyrant was planning to behead the Grand Preceptor.
Yu Sheng followed Xie Hanzhou to the Imperial Garden.
"Does the Imperial Advisor know why I summoned you here?"
Yu Sheng thought for a moment, then hesitated before speaking, "Does Your Majesty wish to speak with me?"
Xie Hanzhou was taken aback, then burst into laughter.
He patted Yu Sheng on the shoulder and laughed, "I still prefer your current personality, Grand Preceptor, unlike before when you seemed quite sinister and cunning."
Yu Sheng: "..."
He was cursing the original owner of this body, he was cursing the original owner of this body, he was cursing the original owner of this body...
I'll say it three times because it's important.
888: "Why does this tyrant seem so difficult to deal with? Has he figured out that you're not the original owner of this body, Sheng Sheng?"
Yu Sheng shook her head: "I don't know, but the tyrant is definitely not as easy to deal with as the little madman~"
Yu Sheng put on a professional fake smile.
Xie Hanzhou was stunned for a moment.
It wasn't until he waved his hand across Xie Hanzhou's face that Xie Hanzhou came to his senses and grabbed Yu Sheng's wrist.
Xie Hanzhou cleared his throat and then chuckled, "I think the Imperial Preceptor still retains his charm."
