Chapter 7: You're the One



When the emperor was unhappy, he would call Zhu Shan by his name.

Lu Yunqi replied yes, but did not answer and directly took out a letter.

Not only was he able to peek into the contents, he was also able to copy the letter. The emperor looked very satisfied.

"It seems that you have captured Zhu Shan's messenger." he said.

"My wife is pregnant. A father is always willing to consider his children more," said Lu Yunqi.

His voice was mellow and dull, and sounded very sincere.

However, considering his facial expression and thinking carefully about what he said, it is chilling.

The emperor did not shudder, but smiled even more. He opened the letter, glanced at it, then sneered and slammed the letter on the table.

"Since he likes to meddle in the politics of the North so much, why doesn't he write a letter to ask to leave?" he said, "Are you waiting for me to invite him back? Let everyone see how hard he works, and let everyone see that I can't live without him?"

Lu Yunqi remained silent.

The emperor didn't need him to answer such questions.

The emperor complained a few words and then stopped.

"Mr. Qinghe will not let me down, right?" he asked.

Lu Yunqi leaned forward.

"Your Majesty will be able to see it soon." Lu Yunqi said.

The emperor looked at him and raised an eyebrow.

"Keep it a secret from me?" he said, not angry but smiling, "Okay, I'll wait and see."

Lu Yunqi bowed and saluted, silent and quiet, but standing there did not make people ignore him but made people feel particularly at ease.

"You are the one who makes me trust you." The emperor couldn't help but sigh, "You don't say much, but no matter whether I think of it or not, you can always get it done."

"People must be useful." Lu Yunqi said, "Otherwise, why would we ask for your majesty's favor?"

The emperor laughed.

"That's right." He sighed, "You, a person who hasn't read many books, can think like this, but many officials who have read books don't know. They only think about what I owe them, and act like they can't bend with power or be corrupted by wealth. They don't think about the fact that they can have what they have today because of me."

He looked at Lu Yunqi and nodded with satisfaction.

"Fortunately, I have you among the civil and military officials in this court. I can sleep peacefully now."

Lu Yunqi bowed and saluted.

"Lord Huang gave me another jar of gold sand," he said.

"This old dog is really rich." The emperor scolded, "Ask for more, or you will miss it."

Lu Yunqi responded yes.

"It's quite fun to watch this old dog tearing Zhu Shan apart." The emperor laughed, with a hint of amusement, "I have long said that one thing can defeat another, so you see, leaving a bloodline of Wan Dachun's family was useful. If it weren't for themselves, who would be willing to fight with whom? I see through these officials. They will only do their best when it comes to themselves."

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Yunqi said.

Watching Lu Yunqi retreat, the emperor raised his eyebrows again.

"You too." He said to himself, "If it weren't for that family, you wouldn't be willing to work so hard. Let's just take what we need."

At this point, I saw the thick stacks of memorials on the desks and felt bored. But then I thought about the other things I could do on these desks besides reviewing memorials, and I couldn't help getting excited again.

"Someone come," he shouted.

The eunuch outside the door came in hurriedly and answered.

"Go and call Lady Liang." said the emperor.

The eunuch did not obey the order and looked a little uneasy.

"Your Majesty, Lady Liang was summoned by the Queen Mother." He said carefully, "She said she wanted to listen to the zither, and she will stay in the Queen Mother's palace for the next few days."

The emperor was furious.

What do you mean by "tingqin"? It's obvious that he knew about what happened between me and Lady Liang in the Qinzheng Palace last time, and he was punishing me on purpose.

This old man really thinks he is the god.

The emperor leaned on the table with a pale face for a moment.

"I understand." He said, not angry, but slightly ashamed.

The eunuch breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that His Majesty had a good temper.

As the daylight gradually brightened, Zhu Zan saw the girl walking out of the house with a smile on her face.

Looks like you're in a good mood today.

"I've arranged breakfast." Zhu Zan waved as if he had just seen her, and pointed outside.

Miss Jun said "Oh".

"Take some dry food with you to eat on the road," she said. "We have to hurry."

"Don't worry." Zhu Zan said, "Rest for two more days."

Miss Jun looked at him with some confusion.

"Why?" she asked.

Zhu Zan looked at her and blinked.

"No reason," he said. "It's better to take a rest."

Did he want to rest? Was he tired? Was he not feeling well? Miss Jun looked at him. He seemed to be in good spirits. However, he must be tired after running around with her for so long.

He came even though he was not allowed to. Who can he blame?

Miss Jun thought to herself, feeling a little uncomfortable.

It was obvious that she finally understood why he had to come along, other than the reasons like my mother's coercion and my family's debt to you.

I just wanted to call out this name and follow this person.

Although I don’t know why and it’s a little baffling, liking someone is always well-intentioned, and if it’s well-intentioned, we should treat it gently.

"Okay then." Miss Jun said softly, "I just want to take a break, too."

Zhu Zan's smile spread.

You see, this arrangement is indeed thoughtful. It's the first time I see her look like this.

There were not as many guests in the lobby early in the morning as last night.

"Please sit down first." Zhu Zan said, "I'll go check on the food."

He walked away without waiting for Miss Jun to say anything.

The woman who delivered the food had already walked out of the kitchen, and when she saw Zhu Zan she immediately smiled.

"Mr. Zhu." She said enthusiastically.

Zhu Zan looked at the food box she was carrying.

"Is it prepared as I said?" he asked.

"Don't worry, young master." The woman said, "I, Old Lady Yao, have been cooking for my whole life and have served everyone."

Zhu Zan nodded and walked into the lobby with her.

Bowls and plates of food were placed on the table from the food boxes, accompanied by the women's laughter.

"Don't worry, young lady," she said, "I made these myself, they are absolutely clean."

When Miss Jun saw the woman and Zhu Zan walk in together, she knew that the meal was specially arranged by him. This was nothing, but as she looked at the food on display, she felt more and more that something was wrong.

"Is this for me to eat?" she asked, looking at the woman.

The woman nodded, smiling warmly and teasingly.

"You are so lucky, young lady." She smiled, "These are all good things."

Miss Jun nodded.

"I know it's good stuff," she said calmly, "but I don't need to keep the baby."

Zhu Zan, who was holding chopsticks with his head down, was startled when he heard this, and then his face turned red.

Pregnancy protection?

He knew that this woman was a miracle doctor and must know the effects of medicinal food better than anyone else. This was definitely true.

"Hey, what are you preparing?" He glared at the woman and said anxiously, "Didn't I tell you to prepare that? Why are you..."

The woman was also puzzled.

"Sir, you said that the young lady is not feeling well? It's inconvenient for her to walk or something." She said, rubbing her hands on her apron, "In addition to being pregnant..."

"I mean, she's having her period, so she's feeling unwell and needs some nourishment." Zhu Zan said, slapping the table.

The woman was startled by the shouting and then she came to her senses.

"Oh, is that so?" She said embarrassedly, thinking that she really didn't want to return the money she received, and quickly put on a smile and looked at Miss Jun, "Don't worry, young lady, you can't rush to have a baby. These medicinal foods of mine are also useful for conditioning your body..."

Zhu Zan made a "Pooh" sound, picked up the woman and chased her out. Then he turned around and saw Miss Jun standing in front of him. He was so scared that he took a few steps back.

Miss Jun did not look angry and looked at him calmly.

"Zhu Zan," she said, "are you stupid?"
