After traveling through time, I married a male princess

Chapter 18 You Can Do Nothing Against Me

After the incident with Xia Xiaohui, those who had some ulterior motives stopped thinking about it.

They want to climb up the social ladder, but if they lose their lives for it, it will not be worth it.

Fortunately, the treatment in the palace is good, so I just work honestly.

Therefore, when serving Fu Qianrun, everyone in the palace was more attentive. After all, after this incident, they saw clearly that Fu Qianrun's position as the queen was stable.

At breakfast that day, Ye Yanxing followed Fu Qianrun to the study, and Cheng Yu was also there.

"Cheng Yu, are you familiar with those accounting methods?" Ye Yanxing asked him.

"My lord, I have mastered the application of these in my daily accounting." Cheng Yu replied with a bow.

"Just talk, don't keep bowing. It makes me tired."

"Yes, master." Cheng Yu wanted to salute out of habit, but just as he put his hands together, he put them down again.

"Okay." Ye Yanxing nodded. "The people here are still too isolated from the news. I want to start a news magazine that can publish articles and convey some news to the people through newspapers."

“It sounds novel.”

"Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend? Or are you qualified for the job?"

Cheng Yu did not answer immediately. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, I have a suitable person to recommend, but I am not sure if he is willing to come."

"Oh? Who is it? Tell me about it."

"He is the son of the county magistrate Zhang, named Zhang Hengyu. He used to be my classmate, but he was recently punished by the county magistrate to reflect on his mistakes at home."

"What did he do?"

"This..." Cheng Yu was a little embarrassed. After all, it was a friend's private matter, so he couldn't say too much. But when he thought that the person in front of him was Ye Yanxing, he felt that there was nothing to hide. "Hengyu likes men."

Ye Yanxing and Fu Qianrun both raised their eyebrows.

"I like men, too." Ye Yanxing said.

"Ahaha." Cheng Yu laughed awkwardly. He really didn't mean anything else.

"Call him over tomorrow." Ye Yanxing ordered.

"promise."

Cheng Yu felt somewhat happy. Zhang Hengyu had been locked up at home for almost a month. The prince wanted to see him, but the county magistrate couldn't keep him at home and openly disobey the prince's orders, right?

In the afternoon, Cheng Yu ran to the home of Magistrate Zhang and told them that Prince Yan would summon Zhang Hengyu tomorrow.

Sure enough, after hearing this, County Magistrate Zhang did not say anything to refute. He just snorted coldly and looked at Cheng Yu as if his nose was not a nose and his eyes were not eyes.

Cheng Yu was puzzled, not knowing where the governor's hostility towards him came from, but he did not dare to ask.

"I have delivered my message. I will take my leave now." Cheng Yu bowed to Magistrate Zhang and turned to leave.

"Hmph!" County Magistrate Zhang snorted heavily again. It was this kid who made his son dizzy.

Some time ago, County Magistrate Zhang thought that his son was getting old, so he asked his wife to find a marriage for him. His wife acted quickly and soon selected a girl from aristocratic family.

After dinner that evening, the lady excitedly told Zhang Hengyu that she had found a marriage for him and asked for his opinion. If he liked the marriage, she would ask the girl's family to find a suitable opportunity for the two of them to meet.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the county magistrate's wife finished speaking, Zhang Hengyu knelt down and said that he had someone he liked.

Magistrate Zhang and his wife were not pedantic people. Since their son had found someone he liked, they were willing to accept her regardless of her family background as long as she was not from a strange family.

The two of them hurriedly asked which family the girl was from.

Zhang Hengyu hesitated for a long time before saying that the other person was a man.

The county magistrate's wife was so frightened that she fainted.

County Magistrate Zhang hurriedly carried his wife back to her room and called the court physician to see her.

The court physician felt the pulse of the county magistrate's wife and said that she was just suffering from anger, so he prescribed some medicine for her to take.

"When will the lady wake up?" County Magistrate Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

"He will wake up in a while." The court doctor replied.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Doctor Li."

After the court doctor left, Magistrate Zhang stayed by the bed, waiting for his wife to wake up.

Not long after, the county magistrate's wife woke up. She opened her eyes and saw County Magistrate Zhang squatting beside her. She said with tears in her eyes, "Master."

"Madam, you're awake." County Magistrate Zhang held Madam's hand.

"Master, Heng'er..." The county magistrate's wife choked with sobs.

"Hmph, don't mention this rebellious son!" County Magistrate Zhang also became angry when he said this. He comforted the county magistrate's wife and supervised her to finish drinking the medicine. He waited until she gradually fell asleep before going to the ancestral hall.

In the ancestral hall, Zhang Hengyu knelt there upright.

"In front of all our ancestors, let me ask you, do you know that you are wrong?" County Magistrate Zhang asked as he stood beside him.

"Father, I am innocent!" Zhang Hengyu answered without hesitation.

"You!" County Magistrate Zhang was furious. He picked up the whip beside him and hit Zhang Hengyu on the back without any restraint.

Zhang Hengyu's body swayed forward after being hit, but he straightened up again with a determined and unwavering look on his face.

"Father asks you again, do you know you are wrong?!"

"My son did nothing wrong!" Zhang Hengyu gritted his teeth.

Snapped.

Another whip fell, and the flesh on Zhang Hengyu's back was torn apart.

"I will beat you to death today! Where did you learn such bad habits?" County Magistrate Zhang whipped Zhang Hengyu again and again, his eyes red as he looked at Zhang Hengyu's bloody back.

"Father! I just like someone! What's wrong with that?!" Zhang Hengyu asked loudly.

"You're already a lesbian, right?!"

"It's just that the person I like happens to be a man!"

"Isn't that still gay?!"

"Do we have to distinguish between a man and a woman when we love someone?" Zhang Hengyu shouted.

Magistrate Zhang stopped what he was doing and remained silent for a long time.

He dropped the whip in his hand and said, "Are you sure you won't regret it? Not in this life?"

"No!" Zhang Hengyu's face was covered in sweat, and he looked so weak that he seemed like he would fall down in the next second, but his eyes remained firm.

"Does he know?"

"He, I don't know." Zhang Hengyu lowered his head, his tone low.

"You!" County Magistrate Zhang pointed the whip at him, snorted coldly, threw down the whip and walked away.

As soon as Magistrate Zhang left, Zhang Hengyu collapsed in pain, but he still held on tightly and did not faint.

It was not until the butler came in with the court doctor that he closed his eyes and fell down.

As a result, Zhang Hengyu stayed in bed for half a month, and now it's been almost a month before he can walk again.

County Magistrate Zhang came to Zhang Hengyu's room and squinted at him, "Humph, you look pretty energetic."

"Father." Zhang Hengyu was helpless. He knew that his father had already accepted the matter. Not only his father, but his mother, who had been in tears at the beginning, had also gradually recovered.

"Prince Yan has ordered you to go to his house tomorrow." Magistrate Zhang conveyed the order to him.

"King Yan?" Zhang Hengyu was surprised. When did he get in touch with King Yan? "Father, do you know what this is about?"

"Cheng Yu came to convey the message, you can ask him!" County Magistrate Zhang replied unhappily.

During this period of time, County Magistrate Zhang already knew who Zhang Hengyu liked.

Hearing this, Zhang Hengyu couldn't help but smile, "So it's Ziyao."

"Hmph!" During this period of time, County Governor Zhang had snorted the most.

"Thank you, father, for telling me." Zhang Hengyu saluted to County Magistrate Zhang.

"Coward! You only think you can bully me." County Magistrate Zhang was furious when he thought about how his son refused the marriage arranged by his family for a man who didn't know about it, or the man didn't like his son at all.

"Yes, yes, yes! Thanks to my father for being so magnanimous." Zhang Hengyu knew that his father was still angry, so he went along with him.

Seeing Zhang Hengyu's look, County Magistrate Zhang left angrily again.
