Chapter 11: The Days I Can’t Speak (I)



The first person to discover that Yaoyao had woken up was Concubine Shu.

She had been on guard all night and was originally drowsy, but she woke up instantly when she heard the familiar baby voice.

[I’m so thirsty.]

Concubine Shu hurriedly brought a cup of warm water and carefully helped Yaoyao up, "Drink slowly."

After saving her dry and smoking throat, Yaoyao wanted to say thank you, but when she opened her mouth, no sound came out.

Concubine Shu also realized this. She grabbed Yaoyao's shoulders and looked at her nervously, "Yao'er, why don't you speak? Call me mother."

Chu Yaoyao opened her mouth and tried several times, but it still didn't work.

"Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician!"

Concubine Shu hurried out to find the imperial physician.

[System, what's going on? Have I become mute?]

System: This is a punishment for the host trying to break the rules.

[Hasn't he already locked me up in the dark room? ]

System: That’s just one of the items. The host cannot speak within forty-eight hours after waking up.

【What?!】

System: Considering that this is the host's first offense, this is already the lightest punishment.

Chu Yaoyao: I wasn’t very fluent in speaking, but it didn’t seem to have any impact. Next time…

System: The host's idea is very dangerous. This time the protection program reacted quickly, but you may not be so lucky next time! If the soul is crushed, the host will be completely gone.

[Oh, I see. I suddenly fainted yesterday, and I don't know what my father finally arranged. Husband Zhao should be able to arrive with food and fodder if he gallops.]

Zhao Hujun? Where are you going?

At this time, Concubine Shu also came in with the imperial physician. Although she was confused, her daughter's health was the most important thing at this time.

"Doctor Zhang, Yao'er suddenly can't speak, can you please take a look at what's going on?"

Doctor Zhang took Chu Yaoyao's pulse carefully and checked her throat.

"Judging from the pulse, the little princess is fine." It couldn't be better.

"There was no damage to the throat either, that shouldn't have happened."

Doctor Zhang was puzzled.

[It's a punishment from the system. Mother looks so haggard. She must have been watching over me all night. Go and have a rest. I'm really fine.]

Chu Yaoyao patted her beautiful mother's hand and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

To increase her credibility, she stood up from the bed, raised her arms and legs, and performed a set of radio gymnastics on the spot.

Still clapping to myself in my heart.

[One, two, three, four, Wu six, seven...]

[It's really okay, it's just a system punishment, it will be fine in two days. ]

Concubine Shu was stunned by Yaoyao's strange movements.

Thin...barrel?

Could it be the name of an immortal?

What a strange name.

Was this move also taught by an immortal? This... is too weird, right? After playing for a while, Chu Yaoyao couldn't do it anymore.

[I’m so hungry. I didn’t eat enough yesterday, and I’ve been hungry all night. I want to eat braised pork, braised duck… bacon and sausage… slurp… I’m so hungry…]

"Good!" Looking at Yaoyao's movements, Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and exclaimed in admiration.

When Emperor Qixuan and the Crown Prince heard the news that Yaoyao had lost her voice, they were extremely worried. However, as soon as they entered the room, they heard the baby's voice announcing the names of the dishes, and they immediately felt relieved.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness."

【The Tyrant Dad and the Prince Brother are here! 】

Doctor Zhang looked at Emperor Qixuan and said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I think the little princess's exercise just now is very wonderful. It looks simple, but it can actually stretch the meridians of the whole body. If you stick to it, you will benefit a lot."

Then he looked at Yaoyao with a smile, "I wonder if little princess would be willing to teach the technique to others?"

Chu Yaoyao laughed silently and awkwardly.

Doctor Zhang nodded, "In my opinion, this is especially suitable for someone like Your Majesty who works hard at his desk for a long time."

Now, Emperor Qixuan became even more interested. God knew how uncomfortable he felt after reviewing the memorials every day. His shoulders and neck were almost stiff.

If it can be relieved, that would be great.

If the ministers also practiced this skill, wouldn't they be more efficient in doing things after their health improved? The more Emperor Qixuan thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. "Yaoyao, since Imperial Doctor Zhang has said so, let's have the painter draw the movements someday, make rubbings of them into a book, and let each court official have a copy as soon as possible. If it works, we can promote it."

When I think of it, all the civil and military officials in the court would do a set of radio gymnastics before going to court.

Chu Yaoyao was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground.

I shouldn’t have done the radio gymnastics if I had known this earlier.

System: It has been detected that a blood relative has punished a corrupt official, the counterattack progress is +2, the current progress is 15, 10 reward points are exchanged, and the balance of points is 65.

[Who is it? ]

Yaoyao suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

[Did my father capture Li Yan? Sure, my father, this will give me a lot of gold coins! ]

Holding gold coins? Emperor Qixuan and his son were puzzled. Why gold coins? Aren't gold ingots good enough? Chu Yaoyao scratched the panel, [Li Yan has only been an official for seven or eight years, but he has embezzled and accepted bribes, and he actually has 300,000 taels of silver! ]

Emperor Qixuan:!

I have looked at the account book. Isn't it two hundred thousand taels?

Then looking down, Yaoyao looked disgusted.

[Tsk tsk, he is actually a scumbag. He kept a mistress behind his wife's back and always responded to her requests. Not only did he buy a house and a shop for her, he also gave her 100,000 taels of silver that he received as bribes for safekeeping.

The key is that Mrs. Li didn't know about the money at all. In order to support the family, poor Mrs. Li not only pawned all her dowry, but also worked day and night to repair people's clothes for money. She didn't even dare to make new clothes on weekdays, let alone buy rouge and powder. Such a good woman was despised by Li Yan because she was old and ugly. 】

【What a scumbag! 】

Yes! Scumbag!

Emperor Qixuan and the Crown Prince also nodded in agreement.

[But what Li Yan could not have imagined was that his mistress was not an easy person to deal with. She had a true love, Bai Yueguang, but she also cheated on him. Hahahaha, it's really a case of karma, evildoers will be punished by evildoers.]

After hearing this, Emperor Qixuan and his son felt much better.

Emperor Qixuan secretly gave the prince a look, signaling him to ask quickly.

The prince casually said: "We have sent people to search Li Yan's house, but found nothing. Where did Li Yan hide the silver?"

[I know the answer to this question. I have the standard answer.]

[Let me see, oh my god, he actually...]

Where is it?

Emperor Qixuan's eyes lit up slightly.

[Li Yan actually hid the silver under the toilet! ]

Yaoyao wrinkled her nose.

[Too much! What kind of quirk is this? There is so much money down there, how could he bear to give it away...]

The father and son looked at each other. They really didn't expect this place.

[Hey, I hope my cheap father can find it quickly. Even a second late would be disrespectful to the two hundred thousand taels of silver! ]

[Unfortunately, I can’t speak now, so I can’t remind my father.]

Emperor Qixuan was deeply moved. Yaoyao had already been punished for reminding him that there was a spy in the military camp, but she was still thinking about helping him.

But this feeling didn't last long, because -

Chu Yaoyao thought of a good idea.

[How about I snatch my cheap father's purse and throw it into the toilet?]

Emperor Qixuan quickly took a step back.

No need to do that!
