Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice
Chapter 52 Xu Xinshu was poisoned
After studying hard for more than ten years and working hard, his salary is only enough to feed his family.
Officials were corrupt in order to save face, which led to the collapse of the imperial court.
Therefore, the emperors of the Yue Dynasty learned from experience, especially Bei Heng, who was particularly generous to his own people.
But Xu Xinshu refused.
"Your Majesty's reward, I dare not refuse. But I am afraid that the reward now will not convince the people."
Because the result of her research was only the expected doubling of the harvest, but the real result would have to wait until the wheat actually harvested a crop.
"The real harvest has not yet arrived. I hope to accept your majesty's reward with dignity."
The emperor thought it made sense, and in the end he just promoted Xu Xinshu's female official rank.
She returned to her bedroom, her face full of joy.
Although he looked haggard and a little dizzy.
But the surprise of the result outweighed the physical discomfort.
The lady-in-waiting next door came out and saw her.
"Xinshu went to see the emperor again?"
"You are worthy of being His Majesty's favorite lady-in-waiting. Since His Majesty favors you so much, why didn't he make you a concubine?"
He Rou's tone was gentle, as if she meant well and cared about him, but Xu Xinshu felt uncomfortable.
"Arou, I am really doing practical things for His Majesty, not just using my beauty to please you. Please don't speculate on the relationship between His Majesty and me without authorization."
"It means we have a good relationship. If anyone hears it, you will be punished."
He Rou responded: "Yes, yes, I understand."
But it sounds perfunctory.
Xu Xinshu frowned, but even after explaining it many times, she just didn't believe it.
He Rou seemed to be advising her for her own good: "While His Majesty still remembers you, Xinshu, you'd better ask for a title. Otherwise, you will always be a female official, and it will be far from the glory of a concubine."
Xu Xinshu was tired, and it was her fault.
He has always been in a high position but has not achieved any results.
Others speculated that His Majesty and her had an unclear relationship. What could it be? They were just an emperor and his subjects, a boss and his favorite waiter.
But now it's all right. When the autumn harvest comes, her achievements will be known to the world and all the rumors will be self-defeating. Thinking of this, Xu Xinshu was too lazy to explain.
Soon the promotion documents came down, and the neighboring female officials came to congratulate him.
But no one noticed that one of them was smiling with a dagger hidden behind his smile.
There was a hint of contempt in He Rou's resentful smile. He had upgraded his rank again...
But so what?
She hasn't been given the title of queen yet.
She, Xu Xinshu, said that she was a fifth-rank Shangyan, but when she saw Baolin, who was a sixth-rank official, she still had to bow and greet him.
No matter how high her rank is, her status is not as good as that of a concubine.
If I am not recognized by His Majesty, I will probably be nothing more than a plaything.
But the way she keeps rising is really annoying.
No, she's been an eyesore since she parachuted in.
Another female official noticed Xu Xinshu's complexion and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Xinshu, are you feeling unwell? Your face is so pale."
Xu Xinshu touched her cold face and didn't care: "Maybe I didn't get enough rest recently. I'll be fine after a few days of sleep."
Seeing this, He Rou stomped her feet in frustration and decided to increase the dosage next time.
He Rou is Xu Xinshu's new friend in the palace. She has been immersed in her own research, wanting to succeed quickly and not let His Majesty and the Princess down.
Xu Xinshu has no time to socialize, so it is always He Rou who takes the initiative to communicate with her.
Although at first I disliked her for making the yard a mess, and they had some arguments.
But later she figured it out for some reason and just kept giving in to her.
He Rou often came to visit her and brought her gifts, and Xu Xinshu felt bad that she didn't have time to entertain her.
Just let her play freely in her own bedroom.
But if someone who was jealous of you suddenly changes her attitude, does that really mean she has become a better person?
a month ago.
He Rou took the arsenic that was secretly brought in from the eunuch, who was unsure.
"Arou, tell me, what do you want this thing for?"
He Rou carefully put the things into her arms: "Don't worry, I will never be stupid enough to do anything bad to any master."
"It's just to get rid of an eyesore, not to poison her."
"It's just to make her feel uncomfortable, and then make her think that the feng shui of her house is not good, so she should move to another yard."
He Rou fanned her nose and said, "You don't know, that person studies things in the soil every day, making the yard stink, and he always brings in mud."
When the eunuch heard that no one would die, he felt relieved.
In the palace, they are called female officials and eunuchs, but they are also the lowest class of people.
As long as no one dies, no one will check for minor illnesses or pains.
It would only be a minor inconvenience if someone died.
But they never thought that the target they were going to attack this time was someone valued by the emperor.
So this is Bei Jingchu's side.
[Ding~ Mission released: Save Xu Xinshu.]
[Reward points: 100]
Bei Jingchu:?
What trouble has this happened to this baby again?
What happened to Xu Xinshu?
How come such a beautiful young lady has so many misfortunes?
She took a look at what was going on and was speechless.
[Ahhhh, dog system, why didn’t you say so earlier!]
[System: Although Xu Xinshu was slightly poisoned, her life is not in danger, dear~]
[What? Do you have to wait for someone to do something before you remind them?]
The system is very confident: [Yes, dear, the system will only remind you at the last minute. If the host wants to change earlier, you need to be diligent in reading and pay attention to the information at all times~]
Bei Jingchu was annoyed by this bizarre incident.
[What kind of person are you! You are jealous of others just because they are better than you and get promoted faster than you.]
【Poison, poison your ancestors! 】
[This palace is like a sieve, how can anyone get some poison? ]
emperor:......
What you said makes a lot of sense. Why is his palace like a sieve?
So who was poisoned this time?
Soon he heard that it was Xu Xinshu, whom he had just promoted.
Now he couldn't sit still.
