Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

Chapter 220: The First Case of a Woman Serving as an Official

The phoenix eyes with fine lines flickered, looking down at the kneeling woman with an ambiguous expression.

The emperor naturally understood what the metaphor of the trees meant.

Liu said that although she was born in a humble family, she could make up for it with her ability and help Chu Shiyu. Not as a housewife in the future, but as a subordinate, staff or collaborator, she naturally did not need to consider factors such as marriage history.

The preparation of the Medical Conference was proof that she was not just boasting.

The impact of the conference held by Liu in Prince Duan's Mansion was naturally inseparable from Chu Shiyu. During those three days of free medical consultation alone, Chu Shiyu gained a lot of praise for his benevolence.

If the Medical Association grows stronger and the blacklist can operate successfully, it will add unique bargaining chips to Chu Shiyu.

"Hmph, do you want to replace the value of reproduction with this value?" the emperor asked disdainfully.

Liu Rusi shook her head and said softly, "Your Highness Prince Duan treats me with sincerity. I hope that my future marriage and childbirth are my sincere wishes, not tasks assigned by Your Majesty."

The phoenix eyes with fine lines opened wide!

The flickering eyes could not hide the panic and guilt for a moment...

Chu Tianming was inexplicably shocked, but he laughed at himself. Fortunately, there was no one around, and fortunately, the woman lowered her head and did not see his expression...

Sincerity? Does this thing exist? Is this thing reliable? Can this thing last?

Full of doubts!

But, he couldn't help but...feel relieved that his son's unconditional flattery was not in vain...

Moreover, I feel jealous, which I can hardly understand!

Chu Shiyu clearly has a similar temperament to him! He will also follow his path! But he got this invisible, elusive, and priceless thing!

Chu Tianming's expression changed, and he couldn't help asking himself why he was so moved?

Have you never seen true love before? There must be. When the concubines in the harem first got married, didn't some of them look at him with admiration and love?

And he never cared about sincerity or falsehood, and only responded with indifference to reality. He forbade those unnecessary flatteries such as sachets and soups, and only wanted them to give birth to children so that he could train suitable successors.

Obviously, Liu's so-called sincerity was just preparation, and she hadn't even invested it yet! Her feelings for Chu Shiyu were probably not even one-tenth or one-twelfth of what Chu Shiyu felt for her!

Chu Tianming's thoughts raced, and his talent for understanding people's hearts soon allowed him to come up with the answer...

Liu's sincerity was not a veneration for power or a momentary impulse of a young girl...

Instead, he is a thoughtful person who, after careful consideration, chooses to put aside the pros and cons and take that step with determination.

And he knew how difficult it was for a complex and suspicious person to take this step...

In his eyes, Chu Shiyu's true love for a woman is no less than a blooming iron tree! Two suspicious people facing each other is simply like looking for a sword on a boat. This is a relationship that is doomed to fail!

But, he saw the vitality of life, and the two of them had hope for each other.

The panic and guilty conscience were all because he wanted to... destroy it.

"Your Majesty is a rare wise ruler. He works hard for the prosperity of Daxia. I am willing to contribute to the prosperity of Daxia, but Qin Hao's future is something I cannot give up."

Although she felt a little uneasy about the looks falling on her, Liu Rusi still seized the opportunity to strive for her goal.

"I just want the emperor to see that I have a skill that can create long-term benefits for the country and the people. I hope that I can exchange my personal value for the freedom of my children..."

“Not equivalent.”

The emperor interrupted coldly, his expression normal. He stood up and said in a condescending voice: "The idea of ​​the blacklist is indeed useful, but it is insignificant compared to the Chu family having a smart child."

Liu Rusi could not help but feel disappointed, but she was not surprised. In a negotiation where the status was not equal, the value was naturally determined by the one in a higher position... At least, it was confirmed that there was a possibility of negotiation...

And she will not give up, and will do everything she can to increase her bargaining chips until the negotiation is concluded...

"Since you care so much about your son, how about I give you another way?"

The emperor spoke in an ambiguous tone, and slowly approached the kneeling woman...

"I was wondering before...whether I would like Chu Shiyu's preferences as well?"

The bright yellow silk floated towards the woman's drooping black hair...

"And now, I feel what it is about you that fascinates Chu Shiyu."

The emperor's voice gradually became lower, but it was full of mystery: "If... you become my woman, then you don't have to worry about these things. Chu Shiyu has enough brothers of the same generation, and Qin Hao is not a big deal."

Taboo and indecent words are so explicit that they are creepy!

An evil and tempting deal. By simply giving up moral ethics, one can easily achieve an irreplaceable goal in exchange for the freedom of the child.

However, the almond-shaped eyes that looked up at the emperor showed no panic, but were calm, just a little confused.

Liu Rusi would not be so ignorant as to think that the emperor really gave her this choice.

"I think the difference between His Royal Highness Prince Duan and you is that he used to be ruthless and unselfish because he didn't find pleasure in this world. His heart is empty, so he follows the established trajectory until he meets someone he is interested in, and then he can't stop."

Liu Rusi looked directly into the older man's auspicious eyes and said softly and clearly, "Your ruthlessness and lack of desire should be a voluntary self-restraint in order to devote your whole body and soul to Daxia."

"Your Highness Prince Duan will fall in love with me, but you won't, because your heart is already full."

"Ah…"

With a low sneer, a thin but powerful hand suddenly reached out and lifted the woman's chin!

The charming face is revealed, young but not naive, like a peach that is just ripe, it is the best time to taste it...

The emperor's voice became more and more dangerous: "Men and women can do things without love... Just looking at your appearance, you are also a woman who can arouse men's desire..."

However, Liu Rusi became more and more calm. The emperor could definitely foresee that if something really happened and Chu Shiyu, who was fighting in the northwest, learned about it, it might cause serious consequences!

The emperor has been committed to Daxia for decades. How could he let his lifelong pursuit be ruined by a moment of absurdity?

Did the emperor want to create some ambiguous misunderstandings to make Chu Shiyu resent her? Or did he want to ruin her reputation in case she couldn't stand the coercion and temptation?

Thinking it through quickly, Liu Rusi also frankly expressed her own judgment: "I believe that you will not do anything that will harm Daxia instead of benefit it."

The fine lines on Ruifeng's eyes disappeared without any emotion. He let go and took a step back, saying in a cold tone, "He has a strong will and is not afraid of danger. He should be able to be used."

Liu Rusi nodded again, as if nothing had happened, and said softly: "I am willing to serve Daxia with all my heart and soul."

"Have you discussed with Chu Shiyu about leading the doctors to the northwest battlefield as volunteer military doctors? Can you confirm the departure date?" The emperor did not shy away from monitoring their correspondence.

Liu Rusi did not notice anything unusual and replied calmly, "We will set off tomorrow."

"If you have made a gratifying contribution, after you return to the capital, I can set up a medical department in addition to the six ministries. It will be independent of the Imperial Hospital and will be responsible for the development of Daxia's medical skills, the prevention and control of epidemics, and the mobilization of doctors. You will serve as the Minister."

The emperor's tone remained calm, but he revealed a huge surprise!

Liu Rusi couldn't help but look up in surprise! Everything she did was for herself and her child, and she never expected to be promoted to a higher position!

"However, you must remember the role I want you to play." The emperor said in a stern tone.

"I, a common woman, will do my best! I will monitor the evils of officials and merchants for Your Majesty, and take it as my responsibility to suppress the evil trends!"

Liu Rusi bowed her head solemnly. Although it was unexpected, she believed that she could take on the important task! She became the first woman in Daxia to serve as an official!

"anything else?"

Liu Rusi paused, then realized: "I will advise Prince Duan to follow the right path and never forget the importance of our country!"
