Rebirth As a Fatuous and Self-indulgent Ruler

Chapter 118: So appetizing

Views:

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou didn't go to see Zhou Huan, nor did they meet Zhou Yu'er.

It is said that Zhou Yu'er was in her room, saying that she caught a cold last night and was resting today.

The imperial physician went to Zhou Yu'er's place once, and after the pulse diagnosis, it was indeed a cold, and he had already taken medicine this morning.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou didn't go to Zhou Yu'er either.

The two sat down directly in the main hall, and invited the shadow guard and the imperial physician to ask about yesterday's situation.

Nothing unusual.

Afterwards, the servants brought tea, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou waved everyone back.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou didn't want to use the tea here.

That zombie-like thing is too weird, who knows if there is a toxin that other Zhang Yuan can't detect.

That silver needle is not a panacea.

So, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou just sat down.

About two quarters of an hour later, the strange doctor walked in from the outside.

Shi Qingzhou sat at the head and said lightly: "Did you find what you were looking for?"

"Well, I did find something." The strange doctor said, and saw him put something on the table.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked around.

It was a bit of powder wrapped in a veil, and the powder was still a little dirty, so it was dirty and dusty.

Long Xiaoyuan looked at the powder and said, "What is this?"

"A good thing that can control people."

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou looked at each other. "Controlling people?" Both of them obviously thought of something.

"Yes." The strange doctor nodded. "Being able to control people, however, requires conditions."

"What do you mean?" Shi Qingzhou frowned.

The strange doctor laughed. "For example, this powder must be able to mix this thing with something else, or let people eat something else first, and then cooperate with this powder to control people. I heard that the vampire here Regarding the devil, this powder can probably be used when killing people. However, what I am curious about is why this powder appears here!"

"You mean that blood-sucking maniac would use this powder when killing people?" Long Xiaoyuan was startled.

"Should be." The strange doctor shrugged. "But I'm not absolutely sure."

Shi Qingzhou frowned slightly, Long Xiaoyuan thought for a moment, and said: "This kind of powder can control people, so what about dead animals?"

"Dead animals?" The strange doctor blinked. "How to say?"

"The animal whose blood was sucked should have died, but it broke out with a very strong fighting power. Is it related to this powder?"

"Haha." The strange doctor laughed. "It does matter, of course it does. Humans are not so easy to control and need many conditions, but the blood-sucking animals only need this kind of medicine powder. Who makes animals not as smart as human brains!"

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou fell silent after hearing the words.

After a while, Long Xiaoyuan said: "Madam Zhou's illness, have you seen it?"

"Well, I've seen it." The strange doctor nodded. "If I hadn't seen her illness, I wouldn't have come to look for this powder. However, she is not a vampire."

"What?" Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback for a moment, then immediately said: "Of course she is not a vampire, she can't even move."

"No, that's not what it means." The strange doctor shook his head. "The reason why I say she is not a blood-sucking madman is because although she is also controlled, her martial arts and lightness skills will not suddenly change from nothing to nothing because of being controlled. Although she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, she is only third-rate It's just that, if she is controlled, her strength will only increase. Martial arts and light kung fu will definitely not work, unless someone who is good at both martial arts and light kung fu will take her to be a murderer. However, she should have never sucked anyone The blood is, the blood of other people in the body can actually be measured. I have tested it on her body, and the amount of other people's blood in her body is normal."

"What is normal?" Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback.

"You won't be out of contact with other people's blood in your life. You may have drunk the blood of animals, which can be regarded as other blood.

Just like me, I really like drinking pig blood soup. So I say she has a normal amount of other people's blood in her body. "

Shi Qingzhou was silent for a while, and said: "So, she didn't suck blood."

"Absolutely not." The strange doctor said.

Long Xiaoyuan glanced at Shi Qingzhou and said, "Qingzhou, what do you think?"

Shi Qingzhou slowly shook his head. Did not speak.

The strange doctor smiled and said, "I can cure Mrs. Zhou's illness."

Long Xiaoyuan was overjoyed. "real?"

"Of course, as long as no one touches me on the way to cure my illness."

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou were slightly taken aback when they heard the words.

After a long time, Shi Qingzhou said lightly: "Then come back to the palace with us."

"Huh?" The strange doctor raised his eyebrows, "The palace..."

"You don't want to?" Long Xiaoyuan asked.

The strange doctor pouted. "It's not that I don't want to, it's just troublesome."

After hearing the words, Long Xiaoyuan said, "You only need to be responsible for saving people. You don't need to follow other etiquettes, and no one will bother you."

"Is that so..." The strange doctor thought for a moment. "Okay, for the sake of the patient's interest, fine."

Shi Qingzhou then stood up. "Then let's go."

The strange doctor didn't seem to be surprised by his swift and resolute behavior at all. When Shi Qingzhou said to leave, he really left.

Anyway, he only brought a medicine kit with him when he came here. As for clothes and so on, I don't have to worry about going anywhere.

Just like that, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou took the strange doctor back to the palace.

On the way, the strange doctor said that he could be called Doctor Liu.

After arriving at the palace, Shi Qingzhou said: "Doctor Liu and Imperial Physician Zhang Yuan are familiar?"

"It's pretty familiar." The strange doctor said.

"Doctor Zhang is currently studying some interesting things, I believe you will be interested too." Shi Qingzhou said.

"Huh? The queen is sure?" The strange doctor raised his eyebrows.

Shi Qingzhou said lightly: "If you are not sure, you will not know until you have seen it."

"That's it, okay... I understand, I can go and have a look." The strange doctor agreed.

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "Someone will take you there."

After arranging Zhou Huan and the strange doctor, Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou went directly to Kunning Palace.

Zhou Huan and the strange doctor lived in Yushang Hall, where Xu You and Fang Shuoyang had been living.

Long Xiaoyuan and Shi Qingzhou returned to Kunning Palace, it was almost time for lunch.

Long Xiaoyuan glanced at the people beside him, and said softly: "Although the people have been brought back, there are still a lot of nails in the Qingzhou palace."

"Well, I know." Shi Qingzhou nodded. "But it's okay, as long as Zhou Yu'er is not around. Zhou Yuer is the only one who can set Zhou Huan off guard. Let's talk about it after Zhou Huan is cured."

Long Xiaoyuan touched his chin, and said suddenly: "Qingzhou, maybe, if we take Zhou Huan over, those people might jump over the wall in a hurry."

"Huh?" Shi Qingzhou paused. "You think so?"

"It's possible." Long Xiaoyuan shrugged. "As for whether those people will really do it, it's hard to say."

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "Well... If someone comes, they can all stay."

"That's what I thought." Long Xiaoyuan clapped his palms. "I'm not afraid of them coming, I'm afraid they won't come, but in this way, the guard arrangement on the Yushang Palace has to be re-set."

"En." Shi Qingzhou nodded. "I'll make arrangements after dinner."

"Okay. Anyway, it's not in a hurry in broad daylight."

After lunch, Shi Qingzhou went to arrange the affairs of Yushang Hall.

Long Xiaoyuan was processing the few remaining memorials in the study of Kunning Palace.

In the afternoon, Shi Qingzhou made arrangements to come back, and at that time, Long Xiaoyuan just finished the work at hand.

"Okay? Have you arranged it?" Long Xiaoyuan asked as he walked towards Shi Qingzhou.

"Well, the Yushang Hall has been lined up there, don't worry."

"Can I still worry about what you do?" Long Xiaoyuan smiled.

Shi Qingzhou also smiled slightly. "Is the memorial finished?"

"Yeah, it's just being done, Qingzhou, has that strange doctor gone to Doctor Zhang?" Long Xiaoyuan asked as if thinking of something.

Shi Qingzhou paused slightly, then nodded. "Well, go."

"Hmm..." Long Xiaoyuan pondered for a moment. "It's good for him to go there. That strange doctor's medical skills are good."

Shi Qingzhou paused again when he heard the words, nodded his head as if there was nothing, and then said naturally: "Well, except for his personality, other aspects are fine, and he is also very beautiful."

"That's right, I've never seen such a beautiful man." Long Xiaoyuan laughed.

Shi Qingzhou's eyes darkened slightly.

Long Xiaoyuan didn't notice Shi Qingzhou's strangeness, and said with a smile: "I can't tell his age."

Shi Qingzhou smiled but said: "If you want to know, you can ask."

"Huh?" Long Xiaoyuan said casually. "It's not important, there is nothing to ask."

"Isn't it important?" Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly.

Long Xiaoyuan hasn't noticed the yin and yang aura of his queen yet. Just casually said: "Yes, anyway, as long as he has that ability."

"The emperor has taken a fancy to his talent?"

"Of course, talented people are always more likable."

"Oh... cute..."

Long Xiaoyuan blinked and came to his senses a little bit. He looked at the people around him, but Shi Qingzhou's expression was very serious.

Long Xiaoyuan wondered if he heard it wrong just now, the look of his queen is normal!

"What's wrong? See what I do?" Shi Qingzhou smiled.

"No..." Long Xiaoyuan shook his head. "That... Qingzhou, I seemed to feel a cold wind just now."

"Cold wind?" Shi Qingzhou looked at Long Xiaoyuan with a half-smile. "What cold wind?"

"I don't know." Long Xiaoyuan pointed to his back. "It's just a sudden feeling of hair standing on end."

Shi Qingzhou said "hehe" and walked away.

Long Xiaoyuan scratched his forehead. "Is this really angry? It's not my illusion? But, why?"

Long Xiaoyuan thought carefully whether he said something wrong. And the final conclusion is... I don't seem to have said anything!

Long Xiaoyuan felt a little puzzled. At this moment, a young eunuch ran over and said that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry had come together, and asked for an interview.

Long Xiaoyuan was slightly surprised, how could those two people come over...

However, no matter why those two people came here, since they are here, we still have to see each other...

So, Long Xiaoyuan turned around and went to the imperial study.

By the time Long Xiaoyuan came back from the imperial study, it was already evening, and it was getting dark.

After staying in the imperial study for more than an hour, Long Xiaoyuan had long forgotten Shi Qingzhou's weirdness.

So, when Long Xiaoyuan came back, he naturally found Shi Qingzhou. "Qingzhou, haven't you eaten yet?"

Shi Qingzhou glanced at the other party, and said slowly: "Where did you go?"

Long Xiaoyuan sighed. "Don't mention it, in the imperial study, the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of Punishment are here."

"Huh?" Shi Qingzhou raised his eyebrows. "Why are they here?"

Long Xiaoyuan said: "It seems to be an appointment, one is for the case, and the other is for the affairs of Quanzhou."

"Isn't the matter of the case handed over to Hu Qingyuan? What is he here for?"

"Yeah, I handed it over to Hu Qingyuan. He just came to report and made two other suggestions. I thought about it, and it was a little bit reasonable, but you don't need to tell me about those things, right? Later I understood Yes, he is doing it entirely to help the Ministry of Industry Minister!"

Shi Qingzhou was taken aback. "What is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry coming to Quanzhou for?"

"The drought in Quanzhou is getting better now. No, the Ministry of Industry has made a fuss. It is said that it is because of the folk furniture and the state dam there."

Shi Qingzhou frowned. "The Ministry of Industry wants to build a state dam?"

"That's right. It was said that there will be a drought this year, and there will be floods next year. I was so angry that I almost threw the memorial on his head. Before the drought is over, he is worried about the flood."

Shi Qingzhou pursed his lips slightly. "There was a flood there three years ago. There were countless casualties."

"Yeah, no, let's take that example." Long Xiaoyuan sighed. "The one from the Ministry of Punishment is helping, in short, asking for money."

Shi Qingzhou smiled shallowly. "If you want money, you have to find a reason. They found a reason, so they talked about it... But I don't think it's that simple. We haven't moved the guy from the Ministry of Industry because we can't find his big fault. However, if He wants to use this incident to do something, but he can be kicked out of his position."

"Hmm..." Long Xiaoyuan thought for a while. "The gains outweigh the losses. After all, we really don't have much money in the treasury now."

Shi Qingzhou thought for a while and said, "There are other ways."

"Huh? How do you say it?" Long Xiaoyuan asked immediately.

"The state dam needs to be repaired, otherwise the consequences of another flood will be unimaginable. The drought in the past two years is really abnormal, so it's better to take precautions. However, the source of the money comes from the treasury alone. If it doesn’t work, the money in the treasury has to be prepared for military pay.”

"That's what I thought, just the military pay!" Long Xiaoyuan said.

"Only when the whole world is stable can the state be stable." Shi Qingzhou said slowly. "So, we can wait for the state dam in Quanzhou, but we can't wait for the military pay at the border and the affairs of Dongye Kingdom."

"Yes, so the state dam cannot be repaired."

"No, it can be repaired. Use other methods to raise money." Shi Qingzhou smiled.

"Huh? Another way?" Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback. "What other way?"

Shi Qingzhou smiled mysteriously.

Long Xiaoyuan's heart itch. "Say it quickly."

Shi Qingzhou walked away slowly. "Let's talk about it after dinner."

Long Xiaoyuan: "..." What's the matter with being so appetizing!

Long Xiaoyuan felt that he must have offended his queen.

But, thinking about it carefully, it doesn't matter at all, how did he offend his queen!

Long Xiaoyuan was very depressed.

But Shi Qingzhou didn't care about his depression. At this time, Shi Qingzhou had already gone to the dining table outside.

Long Xiaoyuan had no choice but to follow.

Forget it, let's eat after eating, the emperor is big after eating...

But he didn't expect that during dinner, Long Xiaoyuan fed him quietly, but his queen was always looking lazy.

Long Xiaoyuan felt a little sad.

And the sadder thing was yet to come, his queen still didn't say anything after eating!

Long Xiaoyuan mentioned it several times, but Shi Qingzhou always changed it with other topics.

In the end, Long Xiaoyuan was helpless. "Qingzhou... did I do something wrong?"

"Why do you think so?" Shi Qingzhou had a very surprised expression on his face.

The corners of Long Xiaoyuan's mouth twitched, because he thought his queen's surprised expression...was fake!

However, if it's fake, it's fake, Long Xiaoyuan still knows how to deceive people.

Anyway, there is a joke or something, isn't it that the wife is always right

Therefore, it is definitely correct to use it on his queen, even though he really doesn't understand what he did wrong...

However, if you don't understand, you don't understand, this does not affect his apology.

So, under the attack of Long Xiaoyuan who did not know what he did wrong, but sincerely coaxed people to apologize, Shi Qingzhou curled his lips and said: "The method is very simple, raise funds."

"Huh? Fundraising? How to raise funds?" Long Xiaoyuan was slightly taken aback.

Shi Qingzhou smiled slightly. "There are many rich people in our businesses all over the world, right?"

Long Xiaoyuan was taken aback again. "However, although there are many, this kind of thing..."

"As long as there is interest." Shi Qingzhou said.

Long Xiaoyuan narrowed his eyes. "How to say?"

Shi Qingzhou said softly: "Actually, I have already made a budget for the situation in Quanzhou. Now, with the right minister there, it can be implemented..."

"What plan?" Long Xiaoyuan asked quickly.

Shi Qingzhou said slowly: "Quanzhou needs to develop. Although the drought and flood over there are problems, the transportation there is convenient. Therefore, if Quanzhou is developed, then there is no need to worry about the repair of the state dam over there. .Businessmen are mercenary, and actually have a good vision, and it would be better to start with them."

Long Xiaoyuan looked at his queen with twinkling eyes. In modern times, his queen would definitely become the president of a multinational corporation! And definitely a profiteer!
