Chapter 704: Dancing Princess vs. East Factory Admiral 64
Quan Jiu seemed to be deeply moved, but in fact she felt nauseous. In order to prevent herself from ruining her mood, she decisively started a game of Happy Landlord and chose Super Double.
"Even though I'm new to the court, I know the importance of Rongcheng as a city that protects the country. I just want your Majesty's sincerity, but I don't want to be impeached by the officials."
She pretended to be understanding and rejected Chu Tuo's proposal.
Even if she didn't refuse, this man would never really give Rongcheng to her.
It's just pretense, who can't act?
Chu Tuo's face was moved:
"I know you only want my attitude, not my kingdom. Don't worry, after we are married, I will treat you well and let you take charge of the six palaces. Then, no one will be able to bully you."
Quan Jiu lowered his head and said, "Then I, your humble servant, would like to thank your Majesty first."
From Chu Tuo's perspective, she looked like she was nodding shyly, with a tight chin exposed outside the white jade mask, but her skin color was slightly darker than that of an ordinary woman. He used to think she was ugly, but after looking at her for a long time, he actually found her pleasing to the eye and even saw some special charm in her.
"My dear..."
The two of them had confirmed their feelings, and Chu Tuo couldn't help but feel a little distracted. He stood behind Quan Jiu and stretched out a hand, wanting to hug her waist.
I didn't pay attention to it before, but now after seeing it more, I feel that her waist is even thinner than that of ordinary women, and can be held in one hand.
Quan Jiu dodged directly: "Your Majesty, we haven't gotten married yet."
Chu Tuo disagreed: "It's only a matter of time."
Sooner or later she will be his woman.
"I am not a casual person. If Your Majesty really wants to marry me, then you should send me a sedan chair carried by eight people and send me three letters and six betrothal gifts." Quan Jiu gave his reasons.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Chu Tuo's eyes.
It's only a matter of a month anyway. What does it matter if it happens earlier or later?
He has made too many exceptions for her, but now, she is still taking advantage of him. He even lost Ancheng but didn't even get a finger in his hand.
Chu Tuo's face became darker and darker. Quan Jiu pretended not to notice and handed him a package of medicine.
"This is a prescription I recently developed for insomnia. Your Majesty has been unable to sleep at night lately because of the He family's affairs. I don't understand the affairs of the court, so this is all I can do for Your Majesty."
Give a slap and then a sweet date.
Sure enough, Chu Tuo's originally gloomy face brightened slightly: "My dear, have you been staying indoors for the past few days researching this prescription?"
Quan Jiu didn't take credit for it, and said calmly, "It just happened to happen."
It is indeed convenient.
When Chu Tuo dies, she will sell the prescription and make another profit.
Chu Tuo was moved again. The women in the harem would make a big fuss and let everyone know if they did anything for him.
When I embroidered a pair of shoes and got a cut on my finger, I would cry for half a day.
He was also happy to cooperate with their performance. Wasn't it just for the reward? He had no shortage of it, and he had as much as they wanted.
"I feel your affection for me." Chu Tuo held the medicine bag. "Don't worry, I will arrange for your recovery as a daughter right away."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
………
Chu Tuo was busy arranging her affairs and spent less time in the Yangxin Palace. Quan Jiu was happy and free, and secretly left the palace to hang out with Shen Lang.
"What are your plans when this is done?" Quan Jiu was inspecting the torture instruments of the East Factory.
Chen Lang followed her like a watchman: "Establish the queen."
Quan Jiu pretended to be pompous and said, "After ascending the throne, you don't do your job, but just want to have fun? Lord Shen, you are too unreliable as an emperor."
Chen Lang: "I'm afraid you'll run away, so I have to find a way to keep you by my side."
He did not forget the two Xuanyuan brothers in Northern Qi, and both the older and the younger one were thinking about his wife.
Quan Jiu: "Don't worry, I am a broad-minded person. I will definitely control the harem for you. If you like a young lady from a certain family, remember to tell me and I will get her in for you. I will definitely be a virtuous queen who is not jealous and let you enjoy the happiness of having many wives."
She actually thought about getting the throne for fun, but then she thought better of it, as it would delay her and Naituanzi from traveling around.
Shen Lang took her wrist and looked at her carefully: "Whose little lady can get this?"
Quan Jiu was joking with him, but he didn't expect him to respond like this: "Why, do you really have a young lady you like?"
"have."
Quan Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him intently: "What's your name? Where do you live? Who is he? Have I seen him before?"
"I've seen him before, and I know him."
A smile flashed in Shen Lang's eyes, and his tone softened.
"My surname is Meng, my name is Changxi. I'm from the capital. I'm only nineteen years old, which is the perfect age for me to get married."
Quan Jiu was stunned and instantly understood what he meant by this sentence.
The man's deep voice still rang in my ears.
"Changxi, come back."
He lived openly under the identity of Meng Changxi, and was no longer the Divine Doctor Shen who appeared under a mask.
Quan Jiu's eyes flickered:
"good."
Anyway, the only people she was guarding against were Chu Tuo and He Miaomiao.
………
Chu Tuo acted quickly and found the abbot of Foyin Temple and asked him to write down instructions, suggesting that Ziweixing was actually a woman.
With the instigation of various parties, the rumor that Ziweixing was a woman quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
When the ministers in the court heard the rumor, they immediately wrote a memorial to report it.
As arranged by Chu Tuo, Quan Jiu took sick leave for several days and did not attend court. Her absence made her seem guilty, which increased the authenticity of the rumors.
Just when someone suggested that Quan Jiu was a fake Zi Wei Xing and demanded her dismissal, someone suddenly came forward and said that they had seen Doctor Shen dressed as a woman, with a white jade mask on her face, and her skin color and height matched.
“Your Majesty, I heard from the servants in my palace that when they saw the woman who looked like Doctor Shen, she was treating a middle-aged woman who was suffering from a brain attack.”
The Minister of Revenue stood in the main hall and reported to Chu Tuo.
"The mask and body shape are similar, so it's possible that someone else is imitating them. However, I'm afraid there's no one else in Meng Country who can perform this kind of rejuvenation..."
Chu Tuo pondered for a moment: "Send it to Dr. Shen."
Quan Jiu hadn't shown up for a long time, and suddenly came to the front of the hall. Everyone looked at her with a hint of inquiry.
Chu Tuo: "Have you heard the rumors in the capital, my dear?"
"I know I was wrong."
Quan Jiu confessed his guilt immediately according to the arranged plan.
Her words indirectly acknowledged her identity as a woman.
The whole court was in uproar.
Chu Tuo pretended to be angry and slammed the table: "Are you aware of your guilt? Do you know that you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, which will punish your entire clan?!"
Quan Jiu: "Your humble servant is willing to resign and apologize. If Your Majesty is still not satisfied and wants to beat or kill you, I have no complaints."
"Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Chu Tuo's face was dark.
Quan Jiu: "It's all up to your majesty to decide."
Chu Tuo was furious in the court and almost dragged her away for execution, which caused all the ministers to plead for mercy.
