With the support of the system, this aggressive epidemic finally came to an end.
The Minister of Works, who was secretly waiting to see Ling Shumo make a fool of herself, and the master behind the Minister of Works, were really disappointed.
Ling Shumo summoned Chu Changying and said, "You have done a great job in saving the people this time. If you want anything, I can reward you."
Chu Changying knelt on the ground and said, "I have only one humble request. I hope Your Highness can persuade Miss Baili to give up Mr. Xie Shen, the top prostitute of Ningshuang Pavilion, to me. I am willing to pay her twice the amount of money that Mr. Xie Shen originally paid to redeem himself."
Ling Shumo almost spit out the tea in her mouth.
She originally thought that Chu Changying would say something like "promotion", but she didn't expect that this man would go around in circles and actually use such a great achievement to exchange for a young prostitute from a brothel.
Ling Shumo put the teacup on the table.
She didn't dare take a second sip.
She was afraid that if Chu Changying said something shocking again, she would not be able to hold back and spit out the water. She really couldn't afford to lose face.
Ling Shumo looked at Chu Changying, "The opportunity to ask for a reward from me is priceless. Are you sure you want to make such a request?"
Chu Changying touched the ground with his forehead, his answer remained unchanged, "I am sure."
Ling Shumo nodded and instructed Shi Qi, "Go and call the young lady of the Baili family and that young master over here."
Shi Qi took the order and went out.
Chu Changying also stood up from the ground.
When Baili Yue heard that the Crown Princess wanted to summon her, she rushed over without delaying for a moment.
Baili Yue had already heard Shi Qi's story on the way. Without waiting for Ling Shumo to ask, she said to Chu Changying with a smile on her face, "Since Sister Chu likes Xie Shen, I will give it to you. How dare you disturb His Highness with such a trivial matter?"
Chu Changying bowed to Baili Yue and changed his address to Baili Yue. "Thank you very much, Sister Baili. I will have my servants send the money to the Baili family later."
Baili Yue quickly said that it was not necessary, and she kept calling her "Sister Chu", no longer showing the cold look she had when they first met.
Chu Changying has now won the favor of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and his meteoric rise to prominence is just around the corner. By sending away an insignificant prostitute, he can make such a friend. Such a good deal is hard to find even with a lantern.
However, after standing here for a while, Baili Yue realized that something was wrong.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess promised to give Chu Changying a reward, but Chu Changying actually used such a precious opportunity to exchange for Xie Shen. This is simply ridiculous.
It wasn't just Baili Yue at the scene; many people were looking at Chu Changying as if he were a fool.
Even a sex-hungry ghost could not do what Chu Changying did now.
Chu Changying could easily ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to recommend her to serve as an official in the court, or even to work in the Eastern Palace.
When that time comes, what kind of man can you want?
Chu Changying gave up everything that was within his reach just to get Xie Shen.
Is there something wrong with the brain of this young lady from County Magistrate Chu's family?
Of course there is nothing wrong with Chu Changying's brain.
If he were really a woman, he would definitely seize this opportunity to make a career in officialdom.
But unfortunately, he is just an imposter.
To serve as an official in the court, one must prove his identity. By then, he would not be able to hide the fact that he was a man.
So, although Ling Shumo seemed to have given him a huge reward, the things he could choose were limited.
Ling Shumo's gaze fell on Xie Shen.
Just now, Shi Qi had whispered to her that Xie Shen was first bought by Xue Wu's sister Xue Yao, who then gave him to Baili Yue.
Immediately after that, today, Chu Changying went to Baili Yue to ask for someone.
Ling Shumo is now very curious about how handsome this Mr. Xie Shen is that Chu Changying is so infatuated with his beauty that he even gives up the idea of becoming an official in the court.
Ling Shumo said, "Xie Shen, come forward."
Xie Shen's body was still very weak, and his arms were extremely thin, as if they would break if bent.
Ling Shumo asked Xie Shen to raise his head.
Xie Shen has a cool white complexion, misty eyebrows, peach blossom eyes, thin lips, and smooth facial features.
She can be considered a beauty, but compared to Xue Wu, there is a huge gap between them.
Ling Shumo said she was really disappointed.
Ling Shumo waved her hand gently, and Xie Shen was led away again.
She returned her gaze to Chu Changying. "Even without me, Baili Yue would have agreed to give Xie Shen to you. I promised to give you a reward, so a simple request like this doesn't count. Your medical skills are excellent, and I intend to recommend you for a position in the Imperial Hospital."
Chu Changying's body stiffened. He opened his mouth but could not say anything.
Shi Qi reminded her, "Second Miss Chu, why don't you kneel down and express your gratitude?"
Chu Changying knelt down and thanked Ling Shumo for her grace.
Even after Chu Changying left Ling Shumo's courtyard, his mind was still in a mess.
Baili Yue and Xue Yao, who had just arrived, smiled and tried to get close to him, but Chu Changying just responded perfunctorily.
There was a look of displeasure in Xue Yao's eyes.
She felt that Chu Changying was really too arrogant. He had only shown his face in front of Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess once, but he acted like he didn't care about anyone. It was really disgusting to see him.
