"How is it that I can't go back on my word? I just wanted to be the Queen for Master Seven, but Master Seven himself said that I couldn't, and that I had to get married first, and then have a wedding." Xue Yao tactically turned around and retreated two steps away, looking back, Lu Qian was right behind her.
The False Pup had that blasé attitude of giving his prey freedom on his face, but the space for herding gave roughly a three millimeter radius around him.
"I don't mean to say I can't, but even a man who is worthy of a life-long commitment has to be polite in front of this kind of request." Lu Qian bent down and took Xue Yao's hand, leading him to the candlestick and lighting the lamp in the room.
Lighting the lamp is beneficial to Lu Qian, which Xue Yao admits, because this kid's face value is a cheat, once the lamp is lit, Xue Yao's IQ is immediately deducted by more than 30%, and Lu Qian is able to continue the "thing" even if he plays a little bit more normally.
But at this time, Lu Qian's play was also affected, because just now Xue Yao's whimsical "grip", resulting in Lu Qian's "gun is already loaded".
When a man is in such a state, the blood rushes to a certain place, the brain is prone to lack of oxygen, and Lu Qian's eloquence can only be utilized at most thirty-five percent.
Xue Yao is still in the favor, so Lu Qian lights the lamp to show off his face, as a compensation to keep the two sides on equal fighting terms.
"Great men worthy of being entrusted with their lives are certainly not speaking politely, they all mean it!" Xue Yao understood that it was unkind to call it quits when he had pushed people to this point, but whoever had come to reach out and measure the size of the enemy would surely have beaten a retreat.
"Master is serious, could have married Yao Yao, Yao Yao favor to listen to big brother, but also to go to raise food," Lu Qian gaze softened, said aggrieved, "four months do not see."
Xue Yao felt like she was going to be killed in one blow by Lu Qian's pitiful gaze and reached out to extinguish the light, but her hand was caught by Lu Qian.
"What for?" Lu Qian asked him suspiciously.
"Put out the lights." Xue Yao rejected the enemy's cheating by face value.
Lu Qian huffed and puffed and tilted his head and questioned, "Yao Yao is going to be gone for four months, but you still won't let me look at her for a while longer?"
Xue Yao didn't say anything, so it turned out that Lu Qian lit the lamp not to subdue him with his face value, but to look at him for a while longer.
Who could eat this reason? Anyway, Xue Yao couldn't eat it, so he gave up the chance to extinguish the lights and was led by Lu Qian, seemingly walking in a purposeless serpentine fashion, but getting closer and closer to the bed.
"Four months, Master can afford to wait, there's no rush." Lu Qian came over to Xue Yao's ear and murmured lowly, "I'm only afraid that Yao Yao can't afford to wait, so tonight, Master be the best husband, so that Yao Yao can't let go."
"Hahahahahaha!" Xue Yao sputtered with a very faceless laugh, "Your Highness is so confident? For the first time, Your Highness knows that you must be the best husband? It's not likely that after we're done, I won't even want to see you again!"
"Impossible." Lu Qian didn't want to joke about this kind of thing, his expression was serious as he gazed at Xue Yao and said word for word, "Master has seen many, many, anything you want."
Xue Yao politely reminded him in order not to blow his self-esteem, "This kind of thing, the difference between looking at an atlas and doing it on your own is especially big, so don't put too much pressure on yourself, Master Seven."
Lu Qian grunted and looked at him with fighting spirit, "Try it."
Xue Yao suddenly became playful.
Lu Qian had been gifted at almost anything since he was a child, and was so arrogant that he couldn't be ignored; this incident might have made him a little more humble.
It's almost a rule that a man's first time is "fast".
Since it's quick, it shouldn't be considered very hard, and it probably won't even survive going in.
The equally inexperienced Xue Yao was so murdered by his own whims.
The beginning of the "thing" - Xue Yao's raw but calm posture, Lu Qian pretends to be calm and skillful, shaking his hands to help Xue Yao undress.
It ended with a hiss from Xue Yao.
This open hissing wasn't because Xue Yao was wild in that regard, it was entirely because it hurt.
Their first time, it didn't work.
Xue Yao's final progress before exhaustion only accommodated "less than one-fifth" of Lu Qian.
This one-fifth of the combined moments had surprisingly brought the [Tyrant's Heart Quest] progress to one hundred percent!
What a particularly contented tyrant.
Because of Xue Yao's cries of pain, the combination stopped here, and as it continued, Yao Yao was afraid that she really didn't want to see His Highness again.
Lu Qian's reason overcame his pride and quietly and obediently withdrew, he tucked his arm across Xue Yao's hindquarters and wrapped him into his arms, saying softly, "This time it doesn't count, tomorrow master will bring the oil cream to smear it on."
The pain beyond expectation made Xue Yao unable to stop pumping cold air, not realizing that Lu Qian was not only not comforting, but also thinking of coming back tomorrow, and in a fit of anger she let loose, "I don't want to anymore, I don't like the Seventh Master anymore!"
"Like." Lu Qian dismantled Xue Yao's lie: "Yao Yao loves Master the most, and has been inseparable from him since she was a child."
"I used to treat you as a brother." Xue Yao raised his head and stiffened his mouth, "Bamboo horses are so meaningless, I used to look forward to an encounter with some stranger, the kind of encounter where you look at each other in a crowd and fall in love at first sight, that's a fresh feeling!"
Lu Qian froze, and the image of the young companion going to Jiangnan and looking at various men came to his mind.
A frown immediately creased his brow!
"Why don't you say something?" Xue Yao badgered and waited for Lu Qian to get jealous before saying that she was teasing him.
"Angry? Seventh Master?" Xue Yao was bad.
Lu Qian lowered his eyes and looked at him seriously as he replied, "They will one day be as unfresh as Master, but they will never be as good as Master liking Yao Yao."
"Who said that? And you know there won't be anyone who likes me more than you?" Xue Yao was so coaxed by Lu Qian that her toes curled up in excitement, the pain in that part of her body was masked by the sweet words, but she still had to keep her mouth shut!
Lu Qian hummed confidently and did not continue the topic, instead asking him, "Why did you suddenly go to Jiangnan to collect grain? There is no shortage of grain in the granary, so why don't you transfer grain directly from the granary?"
Xue Yao: "......"
This little pig's hooves! When you're done, you immediately become logical and not easy to fool. Why don't you ask so clearly before you do your job?
In order to avoid the interrogation, Xue Yao snorted and pretended to be sleepy, slurred a sentence that he couldn't even understand, then shrunk his head and pretended to be asleep.
After a few moments of silence and not hearing Lu Qian's follow-up question, Xue Yao was relieved in his heart when he suddenly felt Lu Qian gently drop a kiss on his forehead and hugged him tighter.
When she woke up from a nap, Xue Yao realized that Lu Qian was gone, and the happiness of being held tightly in her dream instantly jerked away, taking the sweet smile from the corners of Xue Yao's mouth with it.
Last night was a one-fifth of a union after both parties had worked together, and don't normal people have to warm up?
You can't just leave without saying hello?
Xue Yao was going to gather with the grain collection team to leave the capital in an hour, so he could only leave the piglet alone for the time being.
When he dressed and went out, he saw three familiar eunuchs standing in the courtyard, all carrying their salutes in their hands.
The leading eunuch welcomed them, saying that this was the traveling gift that King Ning had ordered them to prepare, and that they had rushed to the mansion early in the morning to wait for Xue Yao.
All morning?
Xue Yao thought to himself that Lu Qian had left before dawn?
Luckily, the eunuch held out the note written by Lu Qian before Xue Yao got angry.
The note said that Big Brother would climb up on the roof every morning to spy on Master, and that he couldn't let Big Brother catch him backtracking.
This kid is pretty meticulous, he probably left last night when he fell asleep.
Xue Yao snorted and thought to herself that she was right, after surviving these four months she would be able to try to get married, so she must make a go of it.
After leaving the capital and boarding the ship, Xue Yao began to study the rewards upon completion of the Heartwarming Quest.
In addition to the few known Ultimate Mall openings, there is also the attached eight hundred or so no-wash white point draws.
There was nothing that needed to be exchanged for the time being, Xue Yao first entered the [Multi-Dimensional Record Reference Line Mall] to see if he could search and browse at will for things that were going to happen in the future, which was a true ability to foretell the future!
Tapping on the Ultimate Mall, a map panel appeared in the void in front of him, a small portion of the map was green, Xue Yao tried clicking on it and realized that only the green portion was clickable.
Clicking on a piece of the map expands more specific locations, and the names of people Xue Yao has come into contact with appear at various points in the location.
Click on the person's name, and several white rays extend to the right; click on one of these rays, and immediately a picture of the person's life at a certain stage will begin to play, and at a certain point, the picture will suddenly stop and shrink to a white dot, and to the right of the white dot, several white rays will extend again.
After a few attempts, Xue Yao understood how this mall was used--
This mall that predicts the future, gives a future that is not the future that will definitely happen, every ray of light is a fork in the road of life that will lead that person to a different life, there is no absolute future.
Xue Yao searched out the imperial palace in the map of the capital and saw at a glance that Lu Qian's name was surprisingly in the middle of the Qianqing Palace, not in the southern three places.
The Qianqing Palace is where the emperor lives, which means: Lu Qian is destined to ascend the throne in the future.
Xue Yao couldn't be bothered to look into Lu Qian's future, and first went to the place where the Empress lived, looking to see if she was there.
Surprisingly, I didn't find it!
Exiting the map of the palace, he actually ended up finding himself in the Xue Mansion.
Xue Yao's name was dark gray, and after clicking on it, the interface popped up with the prompt: [The host's future cannot be predicted].
I can't believe I can't look at my own future!
Xue Yao had to exit, go back to the palace map to find Lu Qian, click on it, and another prompt popped up: [The target's prediction results are confidential data, the host has no access rights].
Xue Yao: "......"
What kind of stingy system is this?
Not being allowed to see it, there was nothing she could do, so Xue Yao could only play a little smart and look through Lu Jinan's prediction threads to find out about her future with Lu Qian.
However, he hadn't been able to exploit the system's loophole after all - but all the event threads about Lu Qian and himself were all grayed out and couldn't be clicked on and viewed.
Tough or the system is tough.
Xue Yao gave himself up and got high on melon seeds and began to look at the daily life of the male god Lu Jinan, which was ...... a model husband!
Unfortunately, there was too much juvenile content, so Xue Yao didn't want to offend Princess Rui, so she withdrew first.
It seemed that there would be a sense of shame in looking at the private lives of familiar people, and Xue Yao couldn't get used to it for a while, so he simply looked for people he couldn't remember at all and browsed through the daily routine.
Inadvertently, he clicked into a name he didn't remember at all in Ping Rong County, and the interface began to play the daily life of a young man.
After recognizing him for a while, he remembered that the young man was the teenager who had sent a basket of dried food to Xue Yao on the day he returned to the capital after controlling the bubonic plague.
I didn't realize the teenager had grown so tall.
Xue Yao hooked his lips proudly, if it wasn't for that fight he had with the plague back then, the boy would certainly not have survived.
Smiling and laughing, Xue Yao's brows gradually furrowed.
The image of the young man selling his fields and taking his mother on a quest for medical attention, and then the image shrinks to a white dot.
Xue Yao quickly tapped on the reference line that extended after the white dot; the youth's mother had still died of an illness, and after the funeral, the family had been unable to unravel.
Not daring to look at the next line of reference - with this outcome, the young man's future would be one of begging, if not starvation.
Xue Yao exited the system, his heart clogged.
To be able to see the future of others, one has to get used to standing by and watching the living, the sick and the dying, or else even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to keep himself busy.
Xue Yao decided to forget about the tragedy he had just seen and stepped out of the cabin to get some air.
I don't know whether it was a coincidence or not, but the grain ship just happened to travel to Lushan, which is not far from Pingyong County.
This coincidence took Xue Yao by surprise!
Why did the ship just happen to arrive at this place just after seeing the people of Pingyong County sick and dying?
Is this a test from heaven?
If he sees death, will he lose Lu Qian?
Xue Yao is particularly fond of metaphysics lately, and when she doesn't move, she chatters in her heart, "If it doesn't rain tomorrow, it means I can be with Lu Qian for the rest of my life"; "If Grandpa wears those leather soap boots today, it means Lu Qian will love me for the rest of my life" ......
The wind is a good way to set up a future for it's doors.
Stumbling upon such a coincidence at this moment gave Xue Yao an excuse to be nosy!
He immediately brought the boat to shore, determined to see if the sick woman was still alive.
When the people on the grain ship heard that Xue Yao was going to visit the townspeople of Ping Rong County, they all spoke out to discourage him from doing so, as they could not be delayed in their official duties.
In fact, there is nothing that can not be delayed, this time the collection of grain, completely in order to let Xue Yao and Lu Qian completely separate for a period of time, and did not let the collection of how much grain, after all, the granary is not short of grain, to the south of the river will be able to collect all.
Collected can not directly return to the capital, Lu Jinan let him recuperate in Jiangnan until the end of the year, he will have to live in Jiangnan two or three months, time is abundant.
However, the others were not clear about the true intent of this errand, and had requested that Xue Yao go to Jiangnan to collect grain first, finish the errand, and then return to Ping Rong County.
Collecting grain back at least a month, the condition can not be delayed, Xue Yao let his subordinates first go to the south of the Yangtze River to do business, he stayed behind to visit the townspeople, and promised to follow up within ten days.
Thus, the Cai-O assigned two men to follow Xue Yao off the ship, while the others continued on their way to Jiangnan to raise food.
Xue Yao rented an "open" donkey cart to enter the mountains and was quickly recognized by the people in the fields.
Hundreds of people from a distance, shouting "the living Buddha arrived", some cheered to meet up, some from a distance, to him on his knees and kowtow.
I didn't expect folks to recognize him at once after three or four years.
Xue Yao was welcomed back to the county by the common people, and found that almost every house in Ping Rong County had his portrait hanging on it, painted with some resemblance to him, and with his clothes flowing, he really looked like a living god.
The enthusiasm of the people in the mountains really overwhelmed him, and it was only after noon that some of them went back to their farm work.
Xue Yao asked an older man about the residence of the male youth.
Luckily, the name of the young man was in the system, and he quickly inquired about it, and immediately set out to visit.
The people were curious why the living Bodhisattva had come to visit the eldest son of the old Zhang family, and Xue Yao laughed and said that his mother might have contracted a disease.
The common people were aghast at the news!
The old Zhang family's mother-in-law did get consumptive disease, a while ago did not listen to advice, bravely busy farming, the condition has worsened all of a sudden.
The Living Immortal was indeed very powerful, and had even calculated this matter, and had personally traveled from the capital just to save an ordinary peasant woman!
Xue Yao was surrounded by a group of people in the middle of the old Zhang's home to go, was walking slowly, the surrounding people suddenly fell on their knees, there are people wiping tears and shouting "living Buddha to save the suffering".
Helpless, Xue Yao pulled his voice to pacify the crowd, rushed to the old Zhang's house, his voice was too mute to speak, and directly gestured to let the old Zhang's son lead the way to see his mother.
Xue Yao doesn't know how to see a doctor, and thanks to the townspeople you and I hinted at the right answer - consumption, which is tuberculosis.
This was considered a terminal disease in ancient times, but it was not a problem for Xue Yao.
His Ultimate Mall of Medicinal Herbs opened up, allowing him to buy top technological ground medicinal herbs and search freely.
Some of the herbs even surpassed the technology of Xue Yao's original era, and on the box of the antidepressant he had bought earlier, the production date was more than a hundred years later than his original era, and the efficacy of the medicine was quite astonishing.
After returning to his residence, Xue Yao immediately exchanged the latest technology's allopathic medicines from the mall.
After giving the medicine to the sick woman, Xue Yao still stayed in Ping Rong County for the full ten days to observe whether the woman's condition had improved or not, so as not to misdiagnose her.
In addition, he inquired in passing about several other consumptive patients in the village, and the same course of medication was arranged.
*
In the evening, Rui Wang Fu's study.
When the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue saw King Rui put down the folders, he immediately opened his mouth and said, "Your Highness, the Ministers of the Ministries of Appointments and Military Affairs took the stale sesame and rotten grain matter to jointly impeach Lord Yang, behind the scenes they must have been instructed by someone, and it's obvious that they are going to step by step to take away the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron, first to hollow out the First Minister, and then step by step to take a shot at you!"
Lu Jinan looked impatient, lowered his head and rubbed his eye sockets, "You go back, it's useless to talk more, it's not that I don't trust you guys, if it's really as you said, then let them go, I did all this to pave the way for the seventh younger brother after all, they really want to branch out, I'll be happy to have a free time as well."
"Your Highness!" The left minister of the Ministry of Revenue said urgently, "I understand all of your intentions, but I'm afraid there's something fishy about this matter."
"What's fishy?"
"I'm afraid that Xue's 'genius' is the mastermind behind this! Think about it, the whole thing is connected, that Xue Yao seems to have no ambition, willing to be a companion, and now the time is ripe, even let the King of Ning to marry him as his wife! It is obvious that this person has a very deep heart. He not only compelled the late Emperor to change the position of the Crown Prince, but now he is even trying to provoke the brotherhood between you and the King of Ning! King Ning does not know what kind of evil magic, to this person is obedient, one day, the control of the dynasty, will be ......"
When the Minister of the Household spoke here, an icy chill flashed in his eyes.
Lu Jinan originally looked melancholy, once he heard this, his mind conjured up Xue Yao's silly look when he was by Lao Qi's side, he coldly snorted out a laugh and waved his hand in tears, "You're overthinking it, Xue Yao really doesn't have any ambition, it's not a pretense."
"Your Highness!" The Minister of the Household was in pain, "You have fallen for that man's evil spell! Been blinded!"
"Well well well ......," Lu Jinan was already almost unable to hold back his laughter, with his understanding of Xue Yao himself, combined with the Xue Yao imagined by this official, it was really ...... a strange sense of contrast that Inexplicably, it makes him want to laugh, "The impeachment of Lord Yang's folders, since there is real evidence, it can't be proven that they have premeditated, Lord Li, you wait patiently, if it's really as you said, I will naturally investigate clearly."
"Your Highness! It can't wait any longer!" The Minister of the Household was loyal to Lu Jin'an and risked his life to admonish him, not for the sake of his own official career, but when he really suspected that Xue Yao was behind the provocation and was plotting against the imperial power.
He impatiently took two steps forward, arching his hand and said, "Now Xue Yao has taken the initiative to ask for orders to go to Jiangnan to collect grain, this is the best time to do so, my humble servant has already made arrangements, no matter whether it's to let that Xue Yao lose his footing and fall into the river, or to encounter robbers in the mountain road, it will certainly be done without any cracks, and it will never let the King of Ning be suspicious of you!"
Lu Jinan's face smile stiffened, "pop" a slap, the pen holder was shaken down!
"You want to plot against Xue Yao?!"
"Your Highness, what my humble servant has done is all for the sake of ......"
"Incoming!" Lu Jinan kicked the table open and rushed out the door, "Prepare the horses! Hurry!"
