I quickly finished handling the matters at hand and rushed back to the harem to see Xia Yan.
Her appearance has completely changed now. How should I explain it to my ministers tomorrow morning? So I have to straighten things out today.
When I returned to Panlong Palace, Xiao Guozi greeted me with red eyes.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Xiao Guozi saw me, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen...is the Queen unable to come back?"
I was stunned, what's going on? Didn't Xia Yan explain clearly?
Xiaoguozi complained to me with runny noses and tears: "Before she left, the queen took three months' monthly payment from the slave... wu wu... she can't come back now..."
I was quite touched at first, but when I heard what he said next, I almost lost control and whipped him: "Okay, okay, I'll go to the warehouse later to get the six-month supply."
Xiao Guozi still kept crying: "Then the Queen..."
I sighed: "Xiao Guozi, you can see clearly, the person lying here is the Queen. Don't forget it."
"ah?"
Leaving behind the stunned little fruit, I strode towards the dormitory. Xia Yan was indeed sleeping, but as soon as I got closer, my tightly closed eyes opened.
"Why are you awake?"
"Because I'm pretending to sleep."
I poured him a glass of water: "There will be a lot of trouble tomorrow, what do you think we should do?"
"What's there to worry about?"
My eyes widened: "You want me to tell my officials that you are from the Wu tribe?"
Liu Chi and Pei Yuan told me more than once that they must not reveal their true identity, otherwise it would be very troublesome. When word spreads, other countries will swarm towards me like flies seeing shit.
Xia Yan frowned in disgust: "Can't you find a more appropriate adjective?"
"The meaning is the same anyway."
Xia Yan thought for a while: "This is easy to handle. Tell your superiors that Princess Changting has always used disguise to hide her true appearance."
"Do you think all your ministers are fools?"
"It doesn't matter. Whether they believe it or not is one thing. Since you said it, they have to believe it even if they don't believe it." Xia Yan said domineeringly.
"It really makes sense."
Your Majesty, even if I say that Changting went to Yan State for plastic surgery, they have to believe it, right?
"By the way, there is one more thing. Xia Huanzhi wants me to grant him a marriage."
"Reject him." Xia Yan said without hesitation.
I was shocked: "Why? Can't you see that Xia Huanzhi and Didi are sincere?"
Xia Yan said decisively: "So what if you are sincere? If you really grant the marriage, Xia Huanzhi will be happy, but what about Di Qing? If he has the ability to take care of Di Qing, there is no harm in granting the marriage."
Hehe, it's exactly what I thought. I feel more and more that I have the potential to become a king.
During dinner, Liuchi brought a sapphire blue pill.
"What is this?" I asked, holding a pill that looked like a gem.
Liu Chi had already changed into the imperial advisor and said respectfully: "This is a good antidote. King Xia was poisoned and his food was tasteless. Now this is the antidote."
It’s true that good things keep coming.
As long as you take this pill, no matter whose body it enters in the future, you don't have to worry about the taste of food.
"Wait a minute, drink this pot of soup first."
A whole pot of seafood-flavored soup went into my stomach.
"Well, you can eat it."
Not long after I took the pill, I immediately felt nauseous, and then I couldn't stop vomiting.
Mixed with the soup, I spit out a dark red worm.
Xia Yan's face turned pale.
ps: The tenth update is completed. Dear friends, I can go to bed early today.
