It would be best if he likes it, but I’m afraid that he won’t like it, then it will be boring to play.
Tang Wan was very good at teasing people. She would stir up a fire and not put it out, torturing Xuanyuan Che terribly.
Just when Xuanyuan Che was about to break free and spend a night with Tang Wan, Tang Wan stepped on his chest and ran away like a butterfly.
He was so angry that he woke up immediately.
Xuanyuan Che: “…………”
He tried hard to recall the appearance of the person in his dream, but he couldn't remember it. The small face and facial features were blurry, as if covered by a veil.
He could only remember a few fragments of his dream, and when he thought about it too much he got a splitting headache, which made his already bad mood even worse.
"Someone, change clothes."
Perhaps the air pressure around him was too low, so the young eunuch was extremely cautious when serving him, for fear of angering him and causing him to lose his head by accident.
When Xuanyuan Che was washing up, he felt a slight stinging on his cheek. He looked in the glass mirror and saw two faint red marks on his face.
He frowned and said nothing, but the aura around him dropped a little. This was because he had been on the battlefield and was already filled with murderous intent. He also had a sullen face all day, which made him look even more gloomy and cold.
When he went to court, his mood improved a little and his face regained its indifference. The woman in his dream was indeed hateful, but for some reason he did not hate her. Instead, he felt better because of her.

"Your Majesty, Jiangzhou is suffering from floods and there are many refugees. Do you think we should distribute some disaster relief grain?" The Minister of Revenue stroked his beard with a serious expression.
"Well, you decide."
"Your Majesty, this is impossible. Your Majesty, the treasury is already empty. How can we afford to distribute disaster relief food?"
Xuanyuan Che narrowed his eyes, a dangerous aura emanating from his sharp eyes. "Oh? According to Lord Lu, what should we do?"
Lord Lu's face lit up with joy: "Your Majesty, you can leave this matter to me. It will only cost 500,000 taels of silver."
"Why do I feel that five hundred thousand is not enough?"
Lord Lu said with a righteous expression, "No problem, Your Majesty. If it's not enough, I am willing to do my bit."
"My dear minister, you care about the people."
"I just want to share your Majesty's worries."
Xuanyuan Che raised his chin slightly, his eyes and eyebrows smiling. That smile looked a bit seductive. He smoothed his outer robe and said, "My dear ministers, what do you think of this proposal?"
The court was divided into two camps, but the majority were against it. Among them, Lord Chen was the most prominent. "Your Majesty, five hundred thousand taels is indeed not a small amount. Your Majesty, please think twice."
Several people who were on good terms with Lord Lu were extremely unhappy when they heard this: "Lord Chen, what do you mean? Five hundred thousand taels is not a lot. That's over three hundred thousand disaster victims."
"My lords, do you know how much does brown rice cost per pound? Only three cents!! Five taels of silver is enough for a family's expenses for several years." Lord Chen was so angry that his face turned red, and his hands were shaking as he pointed at them.
There was a lot of noise below, but Xuanyuan Che laughed heartily, "My dear ministers, I have a brilliant plan."
Lord Lu assumed Xuanyuan Che agreed to his proposal, and he immediately bowed and asked knowingly, "Your Majesty, what is your brilliant plan?"
Xuanyuan Che smiled even more happily, and even clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, I'll just confiscate your property, and the national treasury will not be empty, right?"
Several ministers turned pale and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
Xuanyuan Che still had a smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Oh, Lord Lu, Lord Zhang, when you were corrupt and accepting bribes, why didn't you think this day would come, huh?"
Xuanyuan Che grabbed the scroll on the table and smashed it on the faces of several people. The bamboo slips smashed their heads and blood flowed all over their faces. However, they still kowtowed and begged for mercy, not even daring to raise their heads.
He shouted sternly, "I didn't know the court had so many termites. With so many termites, even mountains of gold and silver would be eaten up. I'm not a fool. I know exactly who did what. If I find something like this again, it won't be as simple as confiscating the property."
Finally, when Xuanyuan Che's Yulin Guards went to search the houses, they found a total of six million taels of silver in several people's homes and private vaults.
When Tang Wan heard this, she couldn't help but click her tongue. She had to admit that although Xuanyuan Che was irritable, he was still very proactive.
It feels so good! It feels so good to be a tyrant. I can confiscate the property of corrupt officials I don't like, and it's useless for the court officials to talk about it. Tang Wan held her chin with her hand and said, "Xiaobai, although this tyrant is a bit violent, his methods are really powerful."
Xiaobai rubbed her wrist and said, "Host, Xuanyuan Che is going to the cold palace. Get ready. Is this a good opportunity to capture him?"
Tang Wan was shocked: "Is he okay? Why would he go to the cold palace if there was nothing wrong?" What a joke! If she could enter the cold palace, she would never ask such a question. But the problem is, how could she, a lowly palace maid, enter and leave the cold palace at will?!
This task is really putting her in a difficult position!
"Host, the Lord God said that this kind of thing cannot be cheated, hehe, you are on your own~"
"It turns out that no man can be relied upon!!" Tang Wan took a big bite of the pancake and saw Zhou Xue, the niece of Xia Zhi from the Ministry of Punishment, holding a broom with a bruised face. A plan immediately came to her mind.
"Ah, some people, their aunt is in jail, and without support, they are like dogs, only able to do the roughest work."
Zhou Xue had a bad temper. When she heard this, she rushed over like a firecracker and stretched out her hand to slap her: "Bitch, what did you say?"
They were of the same level, so Tang Wan didn't indulge her. She slapped her in the face and said, "Who are you calling a bitch?"
Zhou Xue was furious and blurted out, "Bitch, call you!"
Tang Wan smiled and said, "Oh, it turned out that it was the bitch who called me."
Zhou Xue was furious: "You bitch, I'm going to beat you to death!"
"etc."
"What are you up to again?" Zhou Xue looked suspicious.
Tang Wan had been targeted before and had a lot of work to do. She asked in a good-tempered manner, "Do you want to switch jobs with me?"
Zhou Xue was shocked and doubtful, wondering if she had heard wrongly. How could someone want to work in the cold palace? She suspected that there was something fishy going on and raised her chin: "I won't trade with you!"
Tang Wan slapped her again with her backhand: "Do you want to change?"
“No!”
"Snap, snap"
"Do you want to change it?"
"No……"
"Do you want to change it?"
"Let me take your turn. Stop hitting me." Zhou Xue covered her swollen face, wanting to cry but unable to.
Tang Wan rubbed her wrist, her palm red. "Why didn't you tell me to change it earlier? You made my hand red."
Tang Wan left with the broom in a good mood, but Zhou Xue could not hide the resentful look on her face.
Tang Wan turned around, she was panicked and seemed to want to find a place to hide.
Tang Wan chuckled, ignored her, and turned away.
But to Zhou Xue's ears, this laugh sounded extremely ironic and insulting.
Tang Wan, just wait, I will make you pay the price.
