After the child's mind was read, the tyrant caught the male queen with a black face

It was none other than the Grand Secretary of Daxia and Qi Kuan.

Envoy Liu calmly inquired: "You two are too kind. There are so many talented people in the world. I am not worth mentioning. What virtue and ability do I have to deserve your attention?"

The Grand Secretary whispered, "Because you have talent." And more because you are a living heroine, and therefore of reference value.

Envoy Liu sneered and put down his teacup. "Sir, you are talking to me about losing my head. Instead of probing me vaguely, it is better to be honest. Talk about something practical."

The Grand Secretary and Qi Kuan looked at each other.

The Grand Secretary stepped forward first and said, "Because the Imperial Master calculated from the hexagrams that Envoy Liu and Daxia have a destiny."

Envoy Liu almost choked on her tea: "Ahem, ahem...what?!" She looked at the two in shock, her eyes filled with "Are you Daxia people so superstitious?"

The Grand Secretary said, "Yes, the Imperial Master has also calculated your past, present and future lives. For example, the people in the State of Chen who know your gender include the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince, and the Emperor..."

Halfway through the story, the Grand Secretary suddenly felt that Envoy Liu's life was not miserable enough, and in order to make her not want to or even be afraid to return to Chen State, the Grand Secretary deliberately changed some things in the real plot.

The Grand Secretary continued, "They will all be against you. When you return to Chen, you will be imprisoned and used by the Crown Prince and the Emperor... and eventually enter the palace to become the concubine of the old Emperor of Chen, and finally die alone."

Qi Kuan's eyes twitched slightly: You've changed the opponent a bit too much. The blackened and vengeful heroine has been changed by you into a simple heroine imprisoned.

Envoy Liu was listening attentively at first, but when she heard the latter part, a hint of sneer appeared on her face.

When the Grand Secretary finished speaking confidently, Envoy Liu said coldly, "You are not sincere, so let's forget about it."

Grand Secretary:?

He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you insincere?!"

Envoy Liu glanced at the Grand Secretary calmly and said, "I regard etiquette, respect, and chastity as nothing. How could I make such a choice in the future?"

The Grand Secretary was immediately embarrassed. Indeed, he had not taken Envoy Liu's true character into consideration when he made the changes.

The Grand Secretary didn't want to mess things up, so he honestly told the true deduction and shared his own little thoughts.

Envoy Liu still had a sullen look on his face, but he sat down again and listened.

But after the Grand Secretary finished speaking, Envoy Liu only said thoughtfully: "Thank you for telling me. If I hold a high position in the State of Chen in the future, I will report back."

The Grand Secretary was stunned: You are the kind of person who likes to face challenges head-on, right?

The Grand Secretary tried hard to persuade Envoy Liu and even used some threats, but Envoy Liu still insisted that she would not betray the country even if all the secrets were made public and she was killed.

After hearing such ridiculous remarks, the Grand Secretary was completely devastated.

He even blurted out: "Since you are so stubborn, why did you hesitate when I threatened you with a woman dressed as a man for the first time?!"

Envoy Liu chuckled and looked at the Grand Secretary with wisdom: "We have to test it out."

Grand Secretary: ...

Qi Kuan observed for a while and felt that he could only try to retreat in order to advance.

He then bowed and said, "Lord Liu, after the Imperial Master predicted you, she didn't think of asking you to provide Daxia with much information about the State of Chen. She just thought it was a pity for you and felt sorry for you, so she wanted to help you."

Envoy Liu smiled and remained unmoved.

Qi Kuan continued, "I believe that with Lord Liu's intelligence, he should have already prepared for the subsequent troubles if his identity was exposed. The Imperial Master also once said, 'For Lord Liu, even if the deal fails, the friendship remains.' So I just want to make another invitation. If one day, Envoy Liu is disappointed with the State of Chen and wants to appear in the officialdom as a woman, he can anonymously participate in the imperial examination for female officials of Daxia."

Envoy Liu paused while drinking tea, raised his eyes and asked, "Female official taking the imperial examination? Attending the court?"

Qi Kuan said calmly, "That's right. She is not a female official of Chu State."

Envoy Liu laughed out loud: "A woman taking the imperial examination to serve as an official? You really are treating me like a fool."

Qi Kuan raised his voice and asked, "As a woman, do you devalue yourself like this?!"

Then, Qi Kuan told Yuan Ruan what he had heard, that Wang Erniu had successfully persuaded Envoy Liu to accept her as his apprentice.

These words, which had been "tested", immediately made Envoy Liu a little uneasy.

In short, the Dao heart is shaking.

She suddenly asked, "Female examiner, how do you solve the problem of women studying?"

Qi Kuan directly took out two things, a copy of "The Analects of Confucius" and a document from Daxia.

Envoy Liu hesitated for a moment and took the document first.

She first glanced at the official seal on the document, then read the content carefully. It roughly stated that both men and women could participate in the imperial examination next year, the examination process, the scope of the examination questions, and the method of participation...

Envoy Liu's eyes sparkled: "You, Daxia, are indeed courageous, but it's difficult...very difficult..."

Afterwards, she took the Analects and opened it with a calm expression. She only said softly, "Great! How much does it cost?"

“Cheap and can be mass-produced.”

Envoy Liu paused, then continued to flip through the book. After flipping through a few more pages, she suddenly turned back to the first page, then compared the words on the first page with those on the fourth page.

She took a deep breath and said, "The handwriting is neat. No, it is exactly the same. Sir, the words on this page were not copied by humans?"

Qi Kuan looked at Envoy Liu with appreciation and nodded, saying, "Lord Liu is really smart. Daxia does have auxiliary tools. Perhaps in two months, you will see the same Analects in any corner of Daxia."

Envoy Liu was shocked and silent for a while. He suddenly asked, "Who told you what you said about the female official when you tried to persuade me?"

Qi Kuan said: "I am not talented, it is me..."

"Impossible." Envoy Liu said firmly.

Qi Kuan was stunned: "Why?"

The Grand Secretary also looked at Envoy Liu in surprise. How could this man guess the trick accurately every time?

Envoy Liu looked Qi Kuan up and down and said calmly, "Because you are full of the arrogant temperament of aristocratic family. You would never do such a thing that would destroy your foundation. The person who pushed this could only be the royal family or a commoner woman."

At this point, Envoy Liu stood up and said, "To be honest, I am attracted by what you said. But since I have already pledged my love to Chen..."

Qi Kuan listened patiently and said, "Lord Liu, if you still insist on your own opinion after hearing this, I will leave immediately and will never persuade you again."

Envoy Liu waved his hand. "No need to say more. There is no way anything could shake me more than this."

Qi Kuan said: "It's about the death of your adoptive parents."

Envoy Liu turned his head suddenly.

Qi Kuan said: "Your biological mother was worried that you would be exposed, so she arranged for you to grow up with the Li couple in Lijia Town on the border between Xia and Chen under the pretext of studying. When you were fourteen years old, the old emperor of Chen liked to hunt "people", so your adoptive parents became "two-legged sheep" and were thrown into the hunting ground and shot. Your biological mother fanned the flames and obstructed your investigation..."

Qi Kuan talked about many relevant details, and finally said calmly: "If you don't believe it, you can go back and investigate it yourself..."

Envoy Liu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He stood up suddenly and threw the hair crown that symbolized his official position on the ground: "Shit! I am not going to stay in this broken Chen country anymore."
