The Eternal Beauty of the City of Wealth

Chapter 18: Checking the Harem

Zixuan was thinking in his mind, watching with his eyes, and listening with his ears, looking like he was studying seriously.

There was no major issue to discuss in the court, mainly matters concerning the king's funeral and Zixuan's coronation.

Doctor Yuan Huan reported all the arrangements to the queen, and then the court meeting was adjourned.

After Zixuan and the Queen finished their breakfast and rested for a while, Zixuan said to the Queen, "Mother, I wonder if you have given any instructions on what I discussed with you yesterday."

The queen opened a can of Coke and took a sip slowly: "Don't worry, Xuan'er, the queen mother has already given the order."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the maid beside her and said, "Go and call the internal affairs officer, Lü Qi, to come see me."

“Yes.” The maid agreed and went out.

Zixuan looked at the queen with a hint of confusion and asked, "Mother, who is this Lü Qi? Why can't I remember him clearly?"

The queen looked at her deeply and said, "This Lü Qi was originally a gift from the King of Qi. He has just entered the palace. Even if you are not familiar with him, there is a chance of rapport."

"Mother, why did the King of Qi reward a steward to the palace? Where is the previous steward?"

"The previous steward was killed in the palace not long ago due to the war."

"The King of Qi didn't just reward one person. After the war of annihilation, he sent dozens of palace maids and guards in the name of reward."

"This Lü Qi was sent here with them, and was appointed by the King of Qi as the Inner Guard."

"A mere steward, yet the king himself has to appoint him. I don't think his intention is just that. I'm afraid there must be something else going on!"

The queen quickly covered his mouth, looked around and said, "Xuan'er, stop talking. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall."

"Now that you and I, mother and daughter, are under his roof, we have no choice but to bow our heads. Generally speaking, the King of Qi is trustworthy."

"Everything I promised the king when I destroyed the country has not changed. You and I, mother and daughter, should be content."

Zixuan thought for a moment and nodded. He then changed the subject, saying, "Mother, today in the court, Xuan'er activated his spiritual sense and checked the loyalty of the ministers."

"I found that 80% of people are quite loyal, but 20% have very low loyalty, and some even have a negative loyalty rate."

"Xuan'er thinks that after he is crowned and inherits the title, he will purge these people from the court. What do you think, mother?"

"Xuan'er, these people were most likely sent by the King of Qi to help your father manage the government affairs of Guicheng. They cannot be replaced at will."

"In the future, you must be careful with your words and actions and keep a long-term vision. Don't be too eager for quick success or rush into anything, or you'll cause my mother and I to suffer an unwarranted disaster!"

The queen looked at her softly and said meaningfully.

Zixuan shook the queen's hand and nodded: "Please rest assured, mother, I understand all these principles. I have my own ideas and will not act recklessly."

The queen smoothed the hair around her ears lovingly and looked at her daughter with eyes full of doting: "Well, Xuan'er is so good, mother believes in you!"

At this time, the voice of the maid outside the door came in. "Queen, Your Highness, the princess, the steward has brought her here."

The queen said calmly, "Let him in."

Here. Following the sound of the door opening, a short, plump, middle-aged man walked in.

Lu Qi bowed and said, "Your Highness, Lu Qi, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Queen and Princess!"

The Queen looked at him and asked, "Lü Qi, did you finish what I asked you to do last night?"

"It's done. Everyone has gathered in the square outside the temple and has been waiting there for a long time."

The queen nodded: "Okay, Xuan'er, let's go!"

As Zixuan walked out, he activated his human identification technique and looked at Lu Qi. Loyalty: negative twenty.

Zixuan secretly took a breath of cold air. Wow, I didn’t know how shocking it was until I saw it.

She dared to conclude that this Lu Qi must be a spy planted by the King of Qi next to her father, and perhaps the guards and maids he brought with him were also in cahoots with him.

Hehe, Lu Qi, now that you are in my hands, this princess will let you know that the Horse King has three hundred eyes.

Humph, just wait, I'll slowly take care of you later. Just as she was thinking, a group of people arrived at the square in no time.

The square was huge, and even with four or five hundred people standing there, it didn't seem crowded at all. Zixuan called over to Lu Qi, "You, go!"

He pointed at the crowd and said, "Go and tell everyone to line up, stand in rows, and stand in an orderly manner!"

"Yes," Lu Qi agreed, and then directed everyone to line up. It didn't take long for everyone to line up.

Zixuan put his hands behind his back and slowly walked into the crowd, checking each row one by one.

At the same time, he also used his spiritual sense to inform the space manager: "Boss Ji, remember those whose loyalty is less than 80!"

The boss quickly responded: "Yes, my lord."

After Zixuan finished the examination, she waved her hand and said, "It's alright, it's alright. I just wanted to get to know everyone. Let's go!"

Everyone looked confused, thinking that something big had happened. How could this be the end?

Then, after everyone exchanged greetings, they left in groups of three or four and returned to their respective jobs.

At this time, the steward Lu Qi questioned with dissatisfaction on his face: "Queen, Princess, you two have mobilized so many people today just to make the princess look at you. This is too..."

Shut up! Before Lu Qi could finish, Zixuan interrupted him and said coldly, "Do I need you to teach me how to do things? Get lost!"

After saying this, he took the queen's arm and walked towards the bedroom without looking back.

Lu Qi looked at their backs and cursed in his heart; Bah, bitch, a princess of a fallen country, what's there to be so crazy about.

If one day you fall into my hands, I will kill you, humph!

Zixuan talked with the queen for a while, and before they knew it, it was already noon.

So the mother and daughter went to the dining hall to have lunch, burned some paper for their father, and then went back to their bedrooms to rest.
