Huangfu Jue: "Then I want one too. Aren't you free? Hurry up and embroider."
Qi Qi: "Don't rush me, I still need to find time to read the storybook."
Huangfu Jue sighed, "So it turns out I'm not as important as storybooks."
Qi Qi snorted.
I don't know how many more days until my godfather arrives. He's been feeling carefree and has gained a bit more weight lately. He'll be even fatter when my godfather comes. But Laifu won't be able to come. It came once last year, but it got seasick and vomited for a long time before Qi Qi sent someone to take it back to the palace. Now, only one dog can stay in the palace.
Huangfu Jue has many other matters to attend to. This incident in Bai County involves the local magistrate's corruption, his condoning of local gentry to wreak havoc in the countryside, and his unauthorized imposition of excessive taxes, among many other things.
Of course, a small county wouldn't dare to do such a thing. This time, it involved his superior, the prefect, and above the prefect was the governor... In short, it also involved high-ranking officials of the imperial court.
Seeing that he had been in a daze for a long time, Qi Qi massaged Huangfu Jue's shoulders to relax him.
Huangfu Jue suddenly sneered, "Actually, Father has always known about these things. Otherwise, where would he get the money to refine elixirs, find women, and build palaces? Do you know what Uncle An and his soldiers were doing? They actually went to rob the tombs of our ancestors."
"If it weren't for these scourges, how could the Xia Dynasty have become like this? I should do something,"
The more Huangfu Jue got involved in court politics, the more he realized his powerlessness, a powerlessness he couldn't change. The powerful families had a foundation spanning hundreds of years or even earlier dynasties. Natural disasters and man-made calamities were things that the previous emperors hadn't been able to accomplish, so they simply stopped doing them.
Qi Qi was constantly troubled about how to take him away, and sometimes doubted that he could not take him away. If Huangfu Jue was dissatisfied with the new dynasty and attacked Gu Siyan, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Qi Qi had already secretly sent the suspected Xianbei people and the map to Gu Siyan's estate. Wouldn't it be better to let him handle things?
"Your Highness, take your time."
Huangfu Jue fell asleep; he was exhausted.
After covering him with a blanket, Qi Qi had just left the room when a breast pad leaned against his back, and someone covered his mouth with a hand. The person's voice was low: "Guess who I am?"
Qi Qi stepped back and whispered, "Little thief, what are you doing at Huicui Tower?"
"Stealing someone's life."
Qi Qi was lifted up by the person who came, and with the help of the artificial hill next to him, he flew away.
