Women dressed as men: powerful officials

"You are such a life-loving person, do you think you can threaten me at this moment?"

Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan, his cold eyes gradually showing a smile, and then he raised his hand and said, "Antidote."

Make a wish and remain unmoved.

Bei Yao continued, "I said I would grant you what you want. Of course, you can't trust my words, but you should know that I came here for tribute. Even if I have to kill the donkey after it has done its job, I have to do it after I get the tribute, right?"

"Just like you."

Xu Yuan took the medicine from Bei Yao's hand and fed it into her mouth. She said, "I also like to deal with smart people. If someone respects me one foot, I will give him ten feet. But if Mr. Shen is not sincere, I also promise that he will not leave this desert."

"Really?" Bei Yao smiled lightly.

"Mr. Shen is not just after the tribute, right?"

Bei Yao raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Xu Yuan clapped his hands, stood up and said, "Miss Song is a concubine's daughter. If the Third Prince wants the Song family's help, he shouldn't focus on the Song family. The higher the official position, the more things he will covet."

Hearing Xuyuan's words, Beiyao suddenly smiled, "Xuyuan, you made me curious."

People from a small border town would not know about the Song family.

Even the current magistrate of Sishui County may not know the relationship between Song Xiujing and the Song family.

Xu Yuan knew too much.

"I just want to tell you, sir, don't look down on me because I'm young, and don't bully me because I'm young. I know as much as you do, and I've seen as much evil in people's hearts as you have."

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao, spat out the pill coldly, and said, "Don't bring out this kind of thing to fool children in the future. You and I are just passers-by. After we find the tribute, we will go our separate ways and pretend that we have never seen each other."

The pills mixed into the sand and disappeared with the wind.

Bei Yao stared at the pill until it completely disappeared, then he smiled and nodded, saying, "Mr. Xu is smart, this trick of coaxing a child will naturally not fool you. In this case, then cooperate well. If you help me find the tribute and return to Sishui County, I will give you what you want."

"Why not just say it earlier?"

Xu Yuan picked up the pancake he had just thrown away and continued to bite it.

After finishing a pancake, she squinted her eyes, looked at the clouds in the sky, and said, "It will rain tonight."

After she finished speaking, she didn't hear any answer, so she tilted her head and looked over, and saw Bei Yao giving her a kettle.

His fingers sparkled in the sunlight, looking extremely beautiful.

Xuyuan asked: "What to do?"

"What about the biscuits? That's really not at all nice."

Beiyao didn't want to look at it any more. Seeing that Xu Yuan didn't take it, he simply threw it over and said, "Don't worry, it's not poisoned."

Beiyao originally planned to coax her into making a wish.

The pancake was not poisonous, but the so-called "antidote" for Xu Yuan was poisoned.

But I don’t know which step was wrong, and Xu Yuan noticed it.

He didn't bother using the same trick twice.

But making a wish to eat is really rough.

The biscuits were so dry that I didn’t even drink a sip of water.

Xuyuan looked at the kettle thrown in the sand, hesitated for a moment, and finally picked it up.

Kettle refined.

At first glance, you can tell that it is the royal style.

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes, thought of something, and said, "Young Master is quite particular. Even if they are descendants of the royal family, I think they are not as particular as you, right?"

"The Third Master is much more particular than I am."

Bei Yao rested his head on the ground in the desert, looked at the clouds in the sky, and said, "It's a pity that the palace gate is too deep. Once you go in, it's hard to get out. I'm not like this. I love to be an idle person."

Xu Yuan was slightly stunned, "Are you really not the Third Master?"

The person in front of me is too respectable. Even if he is not the third prince, he should be a prince.

Make a wish but don't believe it, the person in front of you is just a counselor.

"The Third Master is a respected person, why would he come to this place? Moreover...with the Third Master's status, do you think he can leave the capital?"

Bei Yao raised his head slightly, looked at Xu Yuan, and said, "He is the Queen's legitimate son and the crown prince's brother. If he goes out, I'm afraid the whole Sishui County will be worried."

"That's right." Xu Yuan nodded in agreement.

In the royal family, no prince was favored as much as the third prince Bei Yao.

Perhaps it was because the year Bei Yao was born, the emperor ascended the throne and unified the country, which was regarded as a good omen.

Or perhaps because the crown prince had already been decided, Bei Yao did not need to learn how to govern the country, and instead received a lot of favors that the crown prince had never had before.

In short, in the royal family, no one can replace the Third Prince.

Xu Yuan remembered that once the third prince set fire to the royal gardens. When the emperor found out, he just laughed it off and did not investigate further.

However, behind this amazing pampering is the loss of all freedom.

According to Tianqi law, when a prince reaches the age of dancing the elephant, he should leave the palace and set up a residence, or be granted the title of prince and go to his fiefdom.

However, when the Third Prince came of age, he never left the palace to set up a residence, nor did he receive a fiefdom. Instead, he lived in the palace all the time and rarely appeared in public.

This was the only prince in Tianqi's history who remained in the palace at the age of twenty. It was not until he was later named the crown prince that Bei Yao left the palace and set up his own government.

This is what happened a few years later...

Xu Yuan looked towards Bei Yao and inexplicably recalled the comments about the Third Prince in his previous life.

Third Master, you can’t leave the capital.

Therefore, the person in front of him is definitely not the third prince.

But if it was someone else in the royal family who could enter and leave the capital so freely, it would definitely not be possible for them to be away for so long...

Is he really just a counselor?

Feeling Xuyuan's gaze, Beiyao asked, "What's that look in your eyes?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuan retracted his gaze and said, "I was just thinking about who you are."

"Shen Yao."

"In the Shen family of the Grand Tutor's Mansion, there is no one named Shen Yao in this generation." Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes.

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Bei Yao's eyes suddenly turned cold. He half sat up, looked at Xu Yuan, and asked coldly: "Who are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am. I just think that since we are cooperating, we should be honest with each other. What do you think, Mr. Shen?"

Beiyao looked at Xuyuan, and after a moment, he said, "Shen Renyao."

Shen Renyao.

Xu Yuan silently repeated the name in his mind, and finally found a person with the same name in the character relationship map of the capital.

Thinking of this, her shoulders relaxed slightly and she said, "Isn't it possible to say this? Why bother to lie when you open your mouth? Master Shen is not living an upright life."

Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan's obviously relaxed expression, held the fan in his hand, and shook it gently, saying, "Who doesn't have a fake identity when going out? It's just for convenience. I'm also very curious, who are you?"

"Master Shen, have you not investigated me thoroughly yet?"

"Rather than finding out, I hope you can tell me the truth."

Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan, his eyes seemed to be able to capture people's hearts and be extremely seductive, "Xu Yuan, don't force me to investigate you. If I find out some unknown secrets, be careful, I can't protect you either."
