The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Lu Shi woke up at six in the morning with a look of despair on his face, and he was still listless when he was sent to the study.

I thought I would see Xie Yue in the study, but unexpectedly it was Ruofeng, that blockhead.

But then again, he should be attending the morning court at this time.

It’s strange that the emperor didn’t have to attend the last morning court session.

In the past, the original owner also had to attend the morning court. Later, after breaking up with Han Yue, the original owner caused trouble for him several times. The most serious time was when she poisoned someone. However, the person was not killed, but Xie Yue imprisoned her.

No one knows how Xie Yue managed to survive under such a strong poison. The person who instigated the original owner to poison him obviously wanted to kill Xie Yue.

Moreover, after the original owner kills the person, the puppet emperor will also be sacrificed to the heaven by Xie Yue's men, killing two birds with one stone.

This plan was foolproof, but they never expected that Xie Yue was not only alive, but also unharmed.

It was also from that time that Xie Yue had the final say in the court. The original emperor did not even have the chance to attend the morning court, let alone review memorials.

Fortunately, she came here just in time to have some free time.

But Xie Yue must be holding a grudge against her now, so he has to get up early without even having a few days of comfort.

What the original owner had done before was so foolish that she felt she had no reason to be justified. Even though she was blatantly arranged to do so, she did not dare to cause trouble for Xie Yue.

"Your Majesty, the prince asked you to memorize this article so that he can check it when he returns from court."

Ruofeng gave Lu Shi the bad news with an expressionless face and stepped aside, as if he didn't want to disturb her.

"understood……"

Lu Shi responded weakly, then opened the designated article.

Seeing this, Lu Shi's heart skipped a beat again.

This article tells the story of a foolish emperor and a wise minister. The foolish emperor in the article is notorious, but the wise minister is determined to make him a wise ruler. After many unsuccessful attempts, the foolish emperor dies.

How he died, he didn't say...

But this article was full of curses on the tyrant emperor. The fact that it was presented to her, the emperor, and she was asked to memorize it clearly showed that the tyrant emperor was killed by his wise ministers in the end.

Moreover, she is a tyrant ruler, and Xie Yue is a wise minister.

This is a threat to her, for sure!

At this moment, Lu Shi's sleepiness from waking up early immediately disappeared, and she picked up the article and began to recite it.

For a moment, the only sound in the quiet study was Lu Shi's loud reading.

After the morning court session, Xie Yue estimated that he should have memorized the article he gave him by the time he landed, so he went to the study room in no hurry.

When Xie Yue arrived at the study, Lu Shi was copying an article obediently, but the handwriting was still unbearable to look at.

Xie Yue walked over and picked up the letter from Lu Shi's hand. It took him some effort to make out what she had written.

"It seems that Your Majesty has memorized the article."

Lu Shi raised his head and chin, "Of course, do you want me to recite it to you? I promise not to miss a word!"

"Since Your Majesty is so confident, I naturally believe Your Majesty."

Xie Yue had a smile on his lips, and before Lu Shi could be happy, he continued, "Your Majesty, do you know why I asked you to recite this article?"

The smile on Lu Shi's face froze, and under Xie Yue's gaze, he carefully considered his answer in his mind before giving it a reply.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to become a wise ruler?"

"No!" Xie Yue's smile deepened, and he spoke in a resounding voice, "I just want Your Majesty to behave himself and not end up like the incompetent ruler described in the article."

The corner of Lu Shi's mouth twitched, "...I understand."

This person really thinks of himself as the wise minister described in the article.

Which wise minister could threaten the emperor so easily? Shouldn't this be the style of a treacherous minister?

Lu Shi's facial expression was not very good, but Xie Yue's mood suddenly became good. His voice was soft, but the words he said made Lu Shi's heart ache.

"Your Majesty has completed your homework very well today. Your copying task is now halved. You only need to copy this article twenty times."

"Ah? You still need to copy it?"

"Your Majesty is unwilling?"

There was a hint of coldness in Xie Yue's dark eyes, which turned into sharp swords and shot towards Lu Shi without any concealment.

Lu Shi only felt a chill on her back, and considering everything the original owner had done to Xie Yue, she had no confidence to refute at all.

"Your Highness is joking. Of course I am willing."

"I have something else to do, so I won't disturb Your Majesty from copying books. Let Ruofeng accompany Your Majesty on my behalf."

Xie Yue left without any regrets under Lu Shiqi's and Ai Ai's gaze.

Ruofeng: "Your Majesty, it's time to do your homework."

Lu Shi: "..."

This kind of life is unbearable.

Where is the system? Where did her system go?

"Monkey, parrot, snake! What have you become this time? Come here!"

This was the first time Lu Shi took the initiative to call the system, but he didn't expect to get any response from the system.

"You bastard, you failed at the crucial moment."

Ruofeng: "Your Majesty, it's time to do your homework."

"Do it, do it, do it!"

She can't afford to offend Xie Yue, but how could she afford to offend that little guard?

So Lu Shi immediately retorted.

But she regretted it the next second.

Ruofeng clasped his fists at her and said, "The prince has already instructed the imperial kitchen. Your Majesty..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking."

Lu Shi hurriedly interrupted him and finally sat down in his seat resigned to his fate.

Copy books!

The afternoon was finally Lu Shi's rest time. She originally wanted to sleep forever to make up for the sleep she had in the morning.

But she quickly dismissed the idea.

Thinking of something, she ran to the imperial kitchen and asked the chef to make two servings of osmanthus cake. She ate one on the spot, and had someone pack the other for her to use to please Xie Yue.

However, Lu Shi probably forgot that he was still under confinement, and was stopped by the guards at the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, the prince has ordered that Your Majesty is not allowed to leave the palace unless there are special circumstances."

Lu Shi waved the food box in his hand to the guard, "I have it. I'm going to the Regent's Palace to give the prince some osmanthus cake."

The guard said firmly, "Your Majesty, please don't embarrass me."

This meant that he would not be allowed to pass. Lu Shi frowned and wanted to argue with the other person, but was stopped by Xiao Kangzi.

Xiao Kangzi pulled her aside like a thief and lowered his voice stealthily, "Your Majesty, I know a place where I can leave the palace."

"Take me there quickly!" Lu Shi's eyes lit up, and he immediately urged Xiao Kangzi to lead the way.

until……

"Is this the place you mentioned...leaving the palace?"

Lu Shi looked at the small dog hole in disbelief.

"What is your intention, Xiaokangzi, in making me, a dignified emperor, crawl through a dog hole?"

"But Your Majesty, this is the only way for you to leave the palace."

Xiao Kangzi blinked his old eyes and looked at Lu Shi, trying to remind her of her current situation.

"Your Majesty, this may be your only chance. I know you are leaving the palace to see the Regent. If you fail to curry favor with him, this dog hole may be sealed."

Lu Shi looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, then closed his eyes and finally accepted the fact.

"Xiao Kangzi, you go first."

Xiao Kangzi shook his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, please go. If the prince investigates the matter later, the punishment will be lighter if I was not aware of it."

The corner of Lu Shi's mouth twitched, "Xiao Kangzi, you really are... a true disciple of mine!"
