Chapter 664: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 24
Chu Tuo enjoyed the performance on the stage with great interest, and from time to time he could hear the discussions of the people.
"It's really unfortunate for our family to have this weird, perverted monster..."
"These freaks should be thrown into a pig cage and never be reborn! In my opinion, the Imperial Music Bureau is kind-hearted. They let these two monsters perform on stage and gave them a chance to live!"
"These two monsters are truly vicious. They don't act like good men, but are determined to make our ancestors extinct. They will surely be punished by heaven in the future!!!"
Everyone's face was filled with disgust and disdain, as if the two people on the stage had committed heinous crimes and should not be punished.
When Chu Tuo heard these words, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Liang Yue's face was pale. Unlike her initial attentiveness and flattery, when Shen Lang reached out to serve her tea, she instinctively retracted her arm on the table, as if he were some dirty thing.
When Shen Lang touched the teacup, his movements froze for a moment. In just a second, he picked up the teacup as if nothing had happened and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.
Chu Tuo looked at this scene and felt a sense of pleasure in his heart.
He just wanted Shen Lang to recognize his own identity.
He was just a disabled eunuch, but he was allowed to take charge of the East Factory. It was already a great favor from the emperor. If he had known what was good for him, he would have been grateful to Dai and surrendered to him on his own initiative.
Thinking that Chen Lang would never have children in this life, Chu Tuo's smile deepened.
So what if you are in a high position and have great power?
A hundred years later, he couldn't even find someone to see him off to his final resting place.
Quan Jiu listened to the discussion of the people below the stage, frowned slightly, and looked at Shen Lang's back.
Men have strong self-esteem, especially successful men like Chen Lang, whose self-esteem is probably stronger than that of ordinary people.
"I'll go over and take a look."
She didn't know what Chu Tuo said, but when she saw Liang Yue's sudden change in attitude, she concluded that it must not be a good thing.
Xuanyuan Qinglan was a thoughtful person, so she naturally knew what she was worried about. Perhaps she herself didn't even know it, but the protectiveness in her eyes was almost overflowing.
………
"Make way."
Quan Jiu walked straight to Liang Yue.
Liang Yue looked at the man who suddenly appeared and snatched the seat from her, with a confused look on her face. She was now eager to avoid Chen Lang, but after a moment of hesitation, she moved to the side.
Quan Jiu sat next to Shen Lang, listening to the heated discussions behind him, his expression growing gloomier.
Almost all the dirty words piled up beside her ears. She glanced at Shen Lang, but found that he remained calm, as if he didn't hear the heated discussions behind him.
"Doctor Shen is here?"
Chu Tuo now values her and is happy when he sees her.
Quan Jiu hummed indifferently. She was outside anyway, so she didn't need to pretend to be polite.
Chu Tuo's eyes flashed:
"I didn't want this kind of monster to pollute Doctor Shen's eyes, so I didn't call you when I went out. I didn't expect Doctor Shen to come here by himself..."
When he mentioned the word "monster", his tone was contemptuous and his eyes were filled with disgust.
Chen Lang lowered his eyes calmly, and the ten fingers hidden under the black robe slowly tightened, and the fingertips pierced into the palm of his hand, leaving a long blood mark.
When Quan Jiu heard this, the coldness in his eyes deepened.
Chu Tuo knew from the beginning that there were demons in this place, so he dragged Chen Lang along?
She remained calm and spoke in a more serious tone:
"Monster? In the medical field, such people are not monsters. People are born free, and they should dress according to their own heart. As long as they don't hurt others, how can it be a sin?"
It was the first time that Chu Tuo heard such a shocking view. He frowned and objected:
"As the pillars of the family, men should shoulder the heavy responsibility of continuing the family line. These two monsters disregarded the reputation of our ancestors and caused the family line to be extinct. How can they be worthy of our ancestors and the parents who gave birth to them?"
Quan Jiu resisted the urge to slap him:
"According to Your Majesty, reproducing offspring is the criterion for judging a man?"
Chu Tuo hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Of course."
If you cannot continue the incense, you will be no different from waste and will be laughed at by the world.
Quan Jiu sneered, "Emperors throughout the dynasties have been judged on their achievements. According to your majesty, emperors will no longer need to govern the country, but can simply indulge in sexual pleasure in the harem. The historians will then use their pens to determine which emperor has the most children and grandchildren."
Chu Tuo's face turned pale and blue after being confronted by her. He didn't expect her to be so rebellious.
"Doctor Shen, I give you some face, but it doesn't mean you have the right to be presumptuous in front of me."
The area around them had been cleared by the guards. Chu Tuo lowered his voice and looked at Quan Jiu with a warning look, his eyes already filled with murderous intent.
Quan Jiu remained calm and just as he was about to speak, someone gently grasped the hand that was hanging by his side.
She turned her head and met Chen Lang's ink-black eyes. He shook his head barely audibly.
Quan Jiu pursed her lips tightly, knowing that he was doing it for her own good, but when she thought about Chu Tuo deliberately bringing him to the theater to humiliate him, she was filled with anger.
Chen Lang saw that she looked reluctant, so he placed his palm on the back of her hand and squeezed it gently, as if to comfort her.
Quan Jiu lowered his eyes, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.
"I drank too much tonight and spoke carelessly. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
She said calmly.
Chu Tuo was filled with anger and was about to scold her, but He Miaomiao grabbed his sleeve.
He Miaomiao lowered her voice and leaned close to his ear.
"Your Majesty, Divine Doctor Shen just defended two cities for the Meng Kingdom. He is a great contributor to the Meng Kingdom. If you punish him now, what will the other ministers think?"
Chu Tuo was originally furious, but after hearing her persuasion, he calmed down a little.
He Miaomiao took the opportunity to continue to plead for Quan Jiu:
"The merits and demerits are balanced. Your Majesty is a magnanimous person. Please don't bother with Divine Doctor Shen."
Chu Tuo had a cold face for a long time before he said reluctantly:
"Forget it, I'll forgive him this time."
Quan Jiu didn't care at all what Chu Tuo was saying. All her attention was attracted by the hand hidden under the table.
After Shen Lang held her hand, he never let go.
There was a small tea table less than 20 centimeters between the two of them. The cuffs of Chen Lang's black robe hung close to the edge of the table. Taking advantage of the blind spot of everyone's sight, he quietly stretched out his big hand and held her fingertips.
Quan Jiu regained her senses and had completely calmed down. Her right hand was held by him, making it inconvenient for her to do anything. The woman frowned slightly and gave Chen Lang a look, signaling him to let go.
Shen Lang looked ahead, seemingly not noticing her request.
"Dr. Shen, why don't you thank His Majesty quickly?" He Miaomiao winked at her.
Quan Jiu's entire senses were focused on her right hand. She had no idea what He Miaomiao had said. She was perfunctory.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chu Tuo snorted coldly: "This won't happen again."
After being disturbed by Quan Jiu, he lost interest in watching the show and got up and left in disappointment.
As soon as he left, Quan Jiu raised her eyes to meet Chen Lang's gaze. She was about to ask him to let go, but he let go before her.
Quan Jiu: “…”
