Chapter 57 The Time Traveler Who Was Cannon Fodder (10)

The prince was very humble towards Zheng. Not only did he pour tea for him personally, but he was also easy-going and humble when speaking to Zheng, and he did not put on the airs of the Master of the Eastern Palace at all.

The prince's admiration for Yu Zheng was as endless as the Yellow River. He excitedly told Xie Yuanshuang how Yu Zheng, who seemed like a god sent from heaven, saved them from a group of bandits with a whisk on their way back.

Listening to the words of praise from the prince, Yu Zheng felt very proud. He had just traveled through time and yet the prince of a country admired him and treated him as a guest of honor. Who else in the world of time travel has such an ability?

Lu Changqing looked at Yu Zheng's mouth corners that were harder to suppress than AK, and the smug look on his face that was hard to conceal, and she knew that this person must be a novice time traveler who had not seen much of the world.

Xie Yuanshuang looked at the sincere smile on the prince's face and felt sour and bitter in her heart. In the past, the prince would only smile like this at her, but now he would smile like this for other women.

Although Lu Changqing said that the woman was not trying to snatch the man from her, Xie Yuanshuang still felt upset. It was like the kitten she raised, which only knew how to act coquettishly towards her, but suddenly ran away one day when she was not watching it. After coming back, it learned to act coquettishly towards other people. She was no longer the only one it acted coquettishly towards. This feeling was really maddening.

After Xie Yuanshuang returned to the palace, he pulled Lu Changqing into the inner room and asked her what she meant by what she had said before.

Lu Changqing helped Xie Yuanshuang sit down and patted her hands, telling her not to be so anxious and to be careful of the baby in her belly.

"Your Highness, if I say that she came here to advise the Crown Prince because of his power, would you believe me?"

The expression on Xie Yuanshuang's face was indescribable. How could she possibly believe such words?

"Ming'e, are you saying this because you're worried that something might happen to me while I'm pregnant?"

Lu Changqing recalled Yu Zheng's attitude towards the prince in his mind. If he was a gay, given the fact that gay men generally have no bottom line, when he saw the prince who looked like a decent man, even if he didn't take the initiative to get close to him in order to maintain his aloof personality, he shouldn't have always looked at the palace maids in the East Palace with lustful eyes. So Yu Zheng's sexual orientation should be female.

The more misogynistic men are, the more homophobic straight men are. In addition, the system said that the wild system was here to seize the kingdom of Qi, so Lu Changqing was sure that Yu Zheng was seducing the prince in order to persuade him to become a tyrant, rather than by sleeping with him.

She could probably guess what Yu Zheng wanted to do. If he didn't want to be a witch who brought disaster to the country, then he should be preparing to become a national teacher who brought disaster to the country.

After the prince came to the throne, he was tricked into practicing alchemy and Taoism, neglecting state affairs, using the bait of immortality. Just like the immortal old man in the Ming Dynasty, he did nothing but stayed in his room every day practicing alchemy. He had no choice but to do some big things that cost the people money and labor.

For example, it would be even more perfect if they built a large-scale building and set up a vegetarian feast, or if they were shameless enough to hold a Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

Yes, perfect.

If the emperor doesn't commit suicide, how can the queen's wisdom be demonstrated?

Lu Changqing would not take action against Yu Zheng too early. At the same time, she was very glad that Yu Zheng was a man. This way, she would not have to rack her brains to force the wild system to separate from his soul. When the time came, she could just chop off both the man and the system.

Lu Changqing didn't want to reveal too much information to Xie Yuanshuang. He stared at her belly that was as big as a water ball and said, "Don't you believe me? When have I ever lied to you? I said he's not here to compete with you for favor, and it's definitely not the case. The only thing you have to do now is to worry less, take care of yourself, and give birth to the baby in your belly safely and smoothly."

Xie Yuanshuang touched her belly. She had complicated feelings towards the baby in her belly. She wanted to have her own children, but having these two children made her suffer a lot. Whenever she felt uncomfortable, she would feel a little disgusted towards the baby in her belly.

She obviously didn't want this to happen, but she couldn't control it.

Lu Changqing said a lot to her, but she was confused and only understood one sentence after listening for a long time: the baby in her belly was unconsciously exploiting her body and energy, so it was normal for her to feel disgusted.

She wanted to refute, but she didn't know what to say. After all, she wanted to have the child. If she wanted the prince to be alone, the child had to be born by her, and it had to be a son. Otherwise, she would have to go through the pain of pregnancy again, or more than once.

At first, I just wanted to marry the prince, and my fantasy was only about the sweetness of love. But after the actual experience, I found that it seemed that the only one who had real sweetness was the prince.

If Lu Changqing knew that Xie Yuanshuang had this idea in his mind, he would probably go out and set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate his enlightenment.

Yu Zheng was placed by the prince in the Pifang Pavilion on the west side of the East Palace. It was far away from the main hall, with winding paths leading to a secluded, quiet and elegant place. On the right side of the pavilion, there was a gurgling stream flowing around the wall. Except that there were a few more mosquitoes than elsewhere in summer, it could be said to be an excellent place to cultivate one's body and mind.

Lu Changqing stood behind the two palace ladies of the East Palace, watching the palace servants coming and going to carry things to the Pifang Pavilion.

Corals from the east, agates from the west, jade from the north, and spices from the south, Lu Changqing's heart bleeds as he watches the palace servants carry piles of these things into the house.

She has been following Xie Yuanshuang for so long but has never had these things. Did this bastard come to the palace to seduce the emperor or to purchase goods?

Lu Changqing felt unbalanced and thought about finding trouble with Yu Zheng.

"Don't Taoists emphasize 'not offending others is the ultimate emptiness; not associating with things is the ultimate indifference; not opposing others is the ultimate purity'? Why do Taoist Master Yun Zheng seem to be different from me?"

Yu Zheng: …

What is this all about? I didn't understand a word.

Seeing Yu Zheng pretending to be stupid, Lu Changqing came up to him and tugged at his sleeve, saying innocently, "Master Yun Zheng, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?"

Yu Zheng: …

What kind of person is this? Can't she read people's faces? Can't you see that I don't want to pay attention to her?

Yu Zheng flicked his whisk, looking like an immortal, "Sorry, I was lost in thought just now and didn't notice what Miss Fang said."

Lu Changqing rolled his eyes in his heart, then repeated what he had just said, staring at Yu Zheng without blinking, with a face full of curiosity.

Yu Zheng frantically called the system in his mind, asking it to help translate the words Lu Changqing had just recited.

The wild system cursed "trash" in his heart, and then said coldly: "She scolded you for being greedy!"

Yu Zheng jumped up and down: "What does this have to do with me? These things were sent by that idiot prince, and I didn't ask for them."

The wild system asked back: "You don't know how to reject? Do you still remember what character you are playing?"

Yu Zheng felt so wronged, "That idiot only said that he would ask the palace servants to arrange it, I didn't know he was going to give these things to me!"

The wild system didn't want to listen to Yu Zheng's nonsense, so it directly ordered: "When the prince comes back from the court, you will take the initiative to find him, maintain your cold and aloof personality, and ask him to carry back those messy and valuable things in your room."

Yu Zheng said "Oh" reluctantly.

Seeing his reluctance, the Wild System warned him, "You'd better hold on tight and remember everything I tell you to do, or you won't get a penny of the 50 million."

Yu Zheng felt more and more aggrieved the more he thought about it. In all the system-related articles he had read, all the systems were cute and adorable, but the one he encountered seemed to be suffering from mania. He would scold him at every turn, as if he were scolding his grandson, and would not give him any face at all.

Yu Zheng became more and more angry, and said angrily: "You treat me so badly, aren't you afraid that I will quit?"

The wild system sneered: "Do you want to be electrocuted again?"

Thinking of the bone-piercing pain from the electric shock, Yu Zheng was speechless.

"I'll reiterate one last time. I like obedient and well-behaved hosts, and I like to punish stubborn people who are born to rebel. As long as you are not afraid of being electrocuted, you can continue to contradict me. Your life and property are now in my hands. If you want to return to your original world safely and become a multi-millionaire, then be obedient and stop making trouble. Do you understand?"

The voice of the wild system was as cold as ice, making Yu Zheng shiver.

Seeing that Yu Zheng didn't reply for a long time, Lu Changqing guessed that he might be communicating with the system. Suddenly, she saw Yu Zheng startled and his body began to tremble slightly. She put her head in front of him and asked with concern: "Master, where are you wandering in your mind again? I see that you are shaking so much. Did you wander in the toilet? Do you want to go to the toilet?"

Yu Zheng came back to his senses and looked at Lu Changqing sideways. This time, without the need for system translation, he could tell that the palace maid was trying to bully him.

"What's your name?" Yu Zheng asked.

Lu Changqing answered politely, "My name is Fang Ming'e." Afraid that Yu Zheng didn't know which three characters it was, he added considerately, "Fang as in Fangzheng, Ming as in Mingtian, and E as in Xian'e."

Yu Zheng noticed that the clothes Lu Changqing wore were different from those of other ordinary palace maids in the Eastern Palace. In addition, she was serving the Crown Princess, so he thought that this person might be a female official in the Eastern Palace.

"I wonder what important position Miss Fang holds in the East Palace?"

Lu Changqing said modestly: "I am not talented, just a small secretary."

Yu Zheng is bald, he only knows Shang Gong, what is this Si Ji?

"Master, you haven't answered my question yet." Lu Changqing continued to pull Yu Zheng's sleeve, his eyes fixed on the various treasures that flowed past him like water. "Isn't it said that Taoists are indifferent to fame and wealth, and are quiet and inactive? Why do I feel that Master seems to like these yellow and white things so much?"

"Mr. Fang has misunderstood. These things were arranged by the prince. I was not aware of this."

Lu Changqing said "Oh" meaningfully, and put a big hat on him: "It turns out that I misunderstood the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest is so extraordinary and otherworldly. I believe he must be a broad-minded and magnanimous person. He should not take my words to heart."

Yu Zheng's mouth tilted up, revealing a wicked smile: "Fang Siji, you are really interesting."

Thinking that the soul in that body was a man, Lu Changqing shuddered with disgust. He flipped through his attribute value panel and saw that his charm value was still the disgusting "21". It was far from being approachable, let alone being loved by everyone.

Didn't she just say a few rude words? How could she attract his attention so quickly?

Lu Changqing said with a fake smile: "Master, you are joking. I am a very boring person."

Yu Zheng swung the whisk in his hand, and with his strength, the white dust tail rested on Lu Changqing's arm. "I feel that I have a great affinity with Fang Siji. I would like to invite Fang Siji to come to my palace to study Taoism together. I wonder if Siji is willing?"

Of course she didn't want to. It was obvious that they were trying to trick her by joining the ghost sect.

Lu Changqing brushed off the things that fell on his arm and declined Yu Zheng's kindness. "I still have to serve Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess. Taoist Yun Zheng, you should find someone else to practice Taoism with. I won't stay here and disturb you." After saying that, Lu Changqing said something to the two palace ladies, turned around and left.

Yu Zheng looked at Lu Changqing's back, feeling very annoyed. He cursed at the wild system in his mind: "Damn it! You dog slave! You came here just to irritate me? How dare you talk to me in that manner!"

"She is indeed a dog slave, but a dog slave who is loyal to her master."

Yu Zheng asked the wild system in confusion: "What do you mean?"

"She is just a secretary. What does she have to do with this? She must have come here on the orders of her master, the Crown Princess. She came here to be sarcastic. You probably want to vent her master's anger."

Yu Zheng's head was full of questions. "Vent out? Vent out about what? How the hell did I offend the Crown Princess?"

"The Crown Princess probably thinks you are here to steal her man."

Yu Zheng felt a chill and then started to swear.

After Lu Changqing returned, he told Xie Yuanshuang about what happened in Pifang Pavilion. Xie Yuanshuang was so angry that he covered his head and said he had a headache.

Lu Changqing comforted him, "Don't think too much. After all, he saved your life. Think about your ex-husband and Fang Ming'e in your previous life. He pledged his love to her. Now the prince has only rewarded him with some good things, and has not yet said that he will treat him as your sister."

Xie Yuanshuang was so angry at Lu Changqing's words that she laughed, "You just want to make me angry on purpose. You'll be happy if you really make me suffer."

Lu Changqing curled his lips and said, "You are too stubborn. From last year to this year, you won't listen to a word of my good words."

Xie Yuanshuang put his hand on his forehead and said in a muffled voice, "I'm unwilling to give up. Just like I worked hard to raise a cat, and I took good care of it, but one day someone told me that your cat would go out and steal fish like other cats. If it were you, would you give up your cat now?"

Lu Changqing shook his head: "Of course not, after all, it's a cute cat, but men are not necessarily, they are not cute."

Xie Yuanshuang: ...

"Actually, I've always been curious, what do men look like in your eyes?"

Lu Changqing scratched his eyes and asked, "Do you really want to hear it?"

Xie Yuanshuang nodded seriously.

"I look at men from a different angle than you do, you know that, right?"

Xie Yuanshuang nodded: "I know, disenchantment."

Lu Changqing considered his words, trying to make them less vulgar. "Yes, it is disenchantment. So in my opinion, after a man is disenchanted, he is nothing more than a walking penis."

Xie Yuanshuang: ...

Xie Yuanshuang really didn't know what to say. She imagined the scene in Lu Changqing's words in her mind. She and the prince sat face to face, then looked up at each other, and an indescribable thing sat in front of her...

Xie Yuanshuang burst out laughing. The more he thought about the scene, the funnier it became. For a moment, he could hardly stop laughing.

Lu Changqing hurried forward to help Xie Yuanshuang hold her belly, and gently stroked her back with his other hand: "You should take it easy. Your emotions are fluctuating so much, you may worry about the baby getting hurt."

Xie Yuanshuang laughed for a long time before stopping. She wiped away the tears from her eyes and said unhappily, "You, you, luckily there are only you and me here. If outsiders heard what you said, would you still want to keep your reputation?"

Lu Changqing sat back in his chair and said nonchalantly, "Reputation is something you can neither eat nor wear, so why should I care about it?"

Xie Yuanshuang sighed and said, "The prince said that Taoist Master Yun Zheng is extraordinary and otherworldly, quiet, inactive, and indifferent. In my opinion, you are the one who has no desires or requests."

Lu Changqing shook his head and said, "You really don't have a good eye for people. There is no one in this world who is truly free of desires. What I want is much bigger."

Xie Yuanshuang said with great interest: "How big is it? Tell me and see if I can help you realize it."

Lu Changqing put his hand to his lips and said mysteriously: "I can't tell you for the time being, but you will know soon."
