Empress with no Virtue Chapter 45: Tricked

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!

On this day, Ye Zhenzhen heard that Zhang Feng, the weapons supervisor, was going to the palace to see Ji Wu Jiu, so she also came to watch.

Ji Wu Jiu met Zhang Feng in the Yangxin Hall. The latter came mainly to report the development progress of the "landmine" to Ji Wu Jiu. The name "landmine" was given by Ye Zhenzhen. It is buried in the ground and explodes like thunder when touched, which is quite vivid. Ji Wu Jiu had to admit that Ye Zhen Zhen was very talented in the development of weapons.

Zhang Feng explained the general principle of triggering landmines to the emperor and empress, and Ye Zhenzhen listened with great interest. Ji Wu Jiu heard that this kind of weapon had been initially produced and needed a lot of testing in the near future, so he waved his hand and allocated a lot of money to Zhang Feng. Thinking again, during this Chinese New Year, the Arms Department was working very hard, so they rewarded the officials, big and small, again.

Being an emperor requires many skills, and controlling one's subordinates is one of them. The officials have worked hard, and you must let them know that their efforts are appreciated by you. This kind of thing is easier said than done. Not only must it be done, but it must also be done with certainty. If the reward is too harsh, the other party will be arrogant and arrogant. If the reward is too thin, it will easily make people feel discouraged. So judging from the fact that he was able to control his subordinates well, Ye Zhenzhen still admired Ji Wu Jiu.

After Zhang Feng received the reward and the decree and left, Ji Wu Jiu asked Ye Zhenzhen, "I heard that you scared away a ghost yesterday? The queen is indeed a queen. I have only heard that ghosts scare people, but I have never heard that ghosts scare people away. I heard that people scare ghosts."

Ye Zhenzhen was very disdainful, "What the **** is a ghost? If he is a ghost, I will be the King of Hell."

Ji Wu Jiu started to talk nonsense again, "If the King of Hell were as beautiful as you, even if I were a ghost, I would be willing to follow you."

Ye Zhenzhen sniffed and asked, "What does it smell like here?" She noticed as soon as she entered the door, there was a faint aroma in the Yangxin Hall, which was not like the fragrance of flowers and fruits, but more like incense. More natural, a bit like mint, but not as cool and refreshing as mint. Instead, it gives people a warm and comfortable feeling.

"You can smell it?" Ji Wu Jiu said, pointing to the charcoal basin, "The incense burned here is from the sea."

"What is sea incense?" Ye Zhenzhen had never heard of such a thing.

"It is a kind of wood that Luzon pays tribute to. It grows on the island. When the sea tide rises, the entire island spreads over. From a distance, this tree looks like it grows on the sea, so it is called Hailixiang. In previous years, they This kind of wood is imported every year, but because the raw wood has a sea smell that the Chinese people are not used to, so few people know about it. A few days ago, the Queen Mother asked the Secretary to burn the sea incense into charcoal and put it on the It is baked in a charcoal basin. It is no different from silver charcoal in use, and it also has a kind of aroma. It smelled good, so I asked the Xixin Secretary to get some." Ji Wu Jiu explained patiently.

Ye Zhenzhen sniffed again, "It smells really good to me."

"If you like it, I still have a lot here, just take it, and I will ask Secretary Xixin to burn more later."

Ye Zhenzhen was a little hesitant, always feeling that since the Queen Mother made this thing, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be any mystery in it.

Ji Wu Jiu noticed her doubts and said, "Don't worry, I've been using this Haili Xiangzhen for a few days, there's nothing wrong with it."

That's right, no matter how cunning the Queen Mother is, she will not kill her son. Thinking of this, Ye Zhenzhen nodded.

In the past few days during the Chinese New Year, apart from urging the Arms Department to develop new firearms as soon as possible, Ji Wu Jiu actually paid little attention to any political matters. Being an emperor also requires relaxation.

However, he is busy with another thing: how to cure the queen's strange disease...

For this reason, he asked the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital one by one. However, let alone treatment, those old guys who were usually good at medicine had never heard of this disease. Even the most skilled doctors had never heard of this disease. Even the most knowledgeable Doctor Tie was at a loss.

Ji Wu Jiu asked all the people he could think of who could cure diseases, but he didn't get any answers. So he was very melancholy.

When he was melancholy, Feng Youde came to report, "Your Majesty, Mr. Dou has come to wish you a happy new year."

Although Dou Dabeard is a monk and puts on a noble attitude all day long like "I am a **** and I want to save all living beings", in fact he has a lot of ambitions and doesn't let go of anyone he deserves to please. Now he I have already followed the local customs and visited people everywhere to pay New Year greetings. Ji Wu Jiu thought to himself that although the bearded man often talked about weird things, from another perspective, he was barely knowledgeable. Maybe he knew the origin of that strange disease.

So Ji Wu Jiu called Dou Big Beard in, and after some polite words, he bit the bullet and asked, "Sir, have you ever heard of the situation where a woman becomes disgusted and vomits when a man and a woman are having sex?"

"???" Dou Huzi could barely understand common spoken English, but it was a bit difficult for him to speak more elegant words.

"...I just want to vomit."

"Oh, Your Majesty, Wei Chen has indeed heard of this kind of thing." Dou Huzi replied. He has been awarded the title of Doctor of Western Studies, and he calls himself a Wei Chen when talking to Ji Wu Jiu.

"Oh?" Ji Wu Jiu was so excited that he almost jumped up from the throne, "Sir, do you know why this is?"

What Dou Huzi said next was like a colorful thunder striking straight towards Ji Wu Jiu’s Heavenly Spirit Cap. He said, "That's because this woman only likes women and doesn't like men." After a pause, Ji Wu Jiu was stunned, and he added, "This is a sin and must be corrected."

"..."

As a petty and vengeful emperor, Ji Wu Jiu had written down little black books for many people in his life, but no one's little black books were as dark as Dou's current Big Beard. Ji Wu Jiu even felt that compared to his words, all the evil deeds Ye Xiu Ming had done seemed glorious.

It was strange that their ancestor would be crucified. Ji Wu Jiu gritted his teeth and thought, now he also wanted to crucify this bearded man.

Ji Wu Jiu endured it for a long time, and finally let Feng Youde lead a few people to beat Dou Huzi out of Qianqing Palace.

He couldn't do anything to him. He was an old man. If something happened to him after a few bumps, Ye Zhenzhen would definitely be unhappy.

Then, Ji Wu Jiu went to Kunning Palace to see Ye Zhen Zhen. As soon as he entered the Nuan Pavilion, he felt that something was not right. Ye Zhenzhen was sleeping soundly on the bed with the quilt folded up, sweating profusely and making the hair on her forehead wet.

Ji Wu Jiu knew that although Ye Zhen Zhen was a sleepy person, she only went to bed earlier and got up later than ordinary people. Sleeping in broad daylight was very unusual. He woke her up, "Zhenzhen, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Ye Zhenzhen rubbed her eyes and woke up completely, "Your Majesty, you are here." She was about to get out of bed.

Ji Wu Jiu held her down. He touched her forehead. It wasn't hot, but there was a layer of sweat on her palm. Looking at Ye Zhenzhen again, her face was pale and she looked tired, Ji Wu Jiu frowned and turned to Su Yue and asked, "What's wrong with your master?"

Su Yue seemed to have lost a bit of energy, "Back to the Emperor, your Majesty has been sleeping hard these past two days, and I don't know why."

"Quickly pass on the imperial physician."

The person on duty at Tai Hospital at the moment is Dr. Ding, who is in his early thirties. Although he is not as skilled as Dr. Tie in medical skills, he is still considered a leader among his peers. He put a hanging thread on Ye Zhenzhen's pulse and murmured to himself, "Slowly and sometimes stopping, and stopping for a certain amount. This is a pulse sign of weakening organs - the queen has not been injured recently, right?"

Su Yue replied from the side, "No, the empress has been very careful since her leg injury healed, and her skin has never been broken."

"So you were frightened?"

When Dr. Ding asked this question, the other three people were stunned. If it was a fright, it was only because of the hauntings in the past two days, but Ye Zhenzhen knew very well that she was not frightened, so why did she feel frightened now? Ji Wu Jiu also believed that with Ye Zhen Zhen's courage, she was the only one who could scare the ghosts, not her. There must be other reasons for her current appearance.

Dr. Ding became convinced when he saw that the three of them were just contemplating without answering. Pretending to be confused is the most basic skill in the palace, so he stopped asking further questions and just said, "Since I was frightened, I will give you a prescription to soothe your nerves and replenish your energy."

"Wait a minute," Ji Wu Jiu stopped Doctor Ding. He looked at Su Yue's pale face and said, "Please take Su Yue's pulse too."

Doctor Ding took Su Yue's pulse as instructed and was surprised, "How could it be the same pulse?"

Before Doctor Ding asked, Su Yue replied, "This slave is not injured or frightened."

Both the queen and Suyue saw ghosts, and within two days they developed frightened pulses. If someone hadn't tampered with them, who would have believed them? Ji Wu Jiu raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhen Zhen and found that her eyes were full of understanding.

"Sure enough, there is a trick." Ye Zhenzhen sneered.

"If this pulse condition continues without treatment, what will be the consequences?" Ji Wu Jiu asked Doctor Ding.

"Back to the emperor, if not treated, the person's body will become weaker and weaker, and eventually... he will die of exhaustion."

"If we treat him according to the method of excessive shock, can we be sure that he will be cured?" Ji Wu Jiu asked again.

"This..." Doctor Ding saw their reactions and knew there was something inside. He considered it and said, "If the cause of the empress's illness originated from somewhere else, it's hard for Wei Chen to tell."

Well, if Ye Zhenzhen dies by then, it will be because he was scared to death by ghosts. It is estimated that no one will investigate such a logical thing. The more Ye Zhenzhen thought about it, the more frightened she became. This person's methods were not only sinister, but also clever. It could be said that he could kill without being seen. If she was really frightened by the ghost and screamed, not to mention others, even herself, she would have to believe that she was overly frightened.

After quitting the imperial doctor, Ji Wu Jiu stood in front of Ye Zhen Zhen's bed and paced back and forth. Ye Zhen Zhen was so dizzy by his yellow robe that she yawned and wanted to sleep again, and fell down uncontrollably. Go back to bed.

"No, you can't sleep anymore," Ji Wu Jiu picked up Ye Zhenzhen who was already lying down, "Su Yue, help your queen get dressed, you two will move to Qianqing Palace today."

The master and servant were attacked at the same time. Someone must have tampered with Kunning Palace long ago. In any case, move them to a safe place first. Ji Wu Jiu picked up Ye Zhen Zhen and saw her lazily losing her usual liveliness and cheerfulness, feeling both distressed and angry.
