Soul swap tyrant always wants to have a baby

"Your Majesty, what have I done wrong that you would punish me by sending me to the manor?"

"You'll know in a month. I'll send someone to keep an eye on you. If you work hard, I'll keep your position as Left Vice Minister. If you try to be cunning and flaunt your power, you won't have to come back."

Seeing Leng Qingyi's cold and solemn expression, Zuo Shilang didn't dare to speak for himself anymore. He could only blame himself for being so talkative and suffering the loss.

"Minister of Works, I'd like to ask you, have you created any powerful weapons in the past year? Or have you made any significant improvements in your bridge and dam construction technology?"

The Minister of Works was dragged out and glared at the Left Vice Minister of Works who was the first to stand out. The Left Vice Minister shrank his neck and retreated behind.

"Your Majesty, over the past year the Ministry of Works has been primarily focused on the construction of the Imperial Mausoleum and the renovation of the various halls in the Imperial Palace."

"You mean you haven't come up with anything useful this year?"

"That's not what I meant. It's just that I put all my energy into repairing the imperial mausoleum, so I inevitably neglected other things."

"Oh, I understand. You mean that all of you in the Ministry of Works must participate in the construction of the imperial mausoleum, including the work of the craftsmen. Shouldn't I give you two salaries then?"

Another minister of the current dynasty was forced to kneel on the ground by the emperor. Today's morning court was the most oppressive one since their young emperor ascended the throne.

Last time, only two princes were driven away, which had little to do with them, but this time it was really their turn.

"I have neglected my duty and neglected agriculture. Your Majesty, I beg you to punish me."

"Then I will punish you by making at least three improved farm tools within one month. The improvement must be three times more efficient than the previous ones. If you fail, all of you in the Ministry of Industry will go and farm for me for a month before returning."

"Yes, I accept the order."

······

The morning court lasted from before dawn to the afternoon. Not only was Zhongli Yuan, who was following behind Leng Qing, stunned, but the ministers in the court were also deeply confused about the next work arrangements.

Now they have no time to worry about intrigues and plots, because if they fail to complete their mission, they will be doomed.

A Minister of Revenue directly promised to be sliced ​​to death if he didn't do well. Who among the rest of them dared to say anything less.

As for their emperor, he is not merciful at all and will be even more ruthless than they say.

After all, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, and they have no handles or weaknesses that can be exploited.

After the entire morning court session, many ministers had changed their views on their young emperor.

But they did not suspect anything. After all, they had very little contact with the emperor. The emperor must have used all his energy to investigate them in the previous year, otherwise how could he know everything about them.

It seems that their emperor is not as simple as he seems. How could he be so arrogant without any support, and how could he find out the secrets of so many ministers without anyone knowing?

After the court session, Leng Qing rushed straight to Ronghua Palace. Fortunately, she knew when to arrive and almost missed the time when Yan Ruju's poison would take effect.

When we arrived at Ronghua Palace, the atmosphere in the entire palace was cold and muffled groans could be heard from the bedroom.

As soon as Leng Qing walked into the bedroom, he saw that Yan Ruju had lost a lot of weight in just three days. Her face was pale, her cheeks were sunken, and her eyes had lost their former luster.

When he saw Leng Qing coming over, his lifeless eyes flashed with many complex emotions in an instant.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for not being able to stand up and salute."

"It's okay. How do you feel today? Can you bear it?"

"Your Majesty, you are joking. I can't bear it now, but I have no choice but to endure it."

Seeing Yan Ruju speaking with difficulty, Leng Qing shuddered.

Fortunately, she had a good nose and could smell something wrong right away, otherwise she would be the one suffering so much now.

"Thank you for your hard work, my dear. Can you find out who poisoned me?"

"Your Majesty, I have dealt with that man."

"That's good. After you've gotten over the poison attack, eat more good nourishing foods to prevent your body from collapsing. It takes at least seven or eight days to travel from the capital to Runan, and the imperial physician said the herbs are hard to find. My beloved, you'll probably have to endure it for ten days to half a month. You must hold on. I'll have someone search my private vaults to see if there's anything to nourish you. Take good care of yourself."

Yan Ruju felt mixed emotions as she watched the emperor leave.

The emperor's attitude towards her was extremely strange during the days when she was poisoned.

He said he came to monitor her to see if she had taken the antidote secretly, but he always asked her about her well-being and even opened his private store to give her herbs to replenish her body.

It is said that the emperor has feelings for her. It seems that the emperor does not want her to get the antidote too early. He even sent people to go with her father's people. She doesn't believe that he is not preventing them from doing something.

But the days when she was poisoned were indeed the days when the emperor was most tender and affectionate to her since she entered the palace. He came to see her every day and talked to her a lot, which was something the emperor would never do before.

After leaving Ronghua Palace, Leng Qingyi asked everyone else to stay ten steps away from him, leaving only Zhongli Yuan to stay with him.

"How long do you think it will take for the imperial concubine to be cured of this poison?"

"If I can't get the antidote on the seventh day, I'm sure I'll get it on the eighth day."

"Oh? Why are you so sure?"

"Although the Duke of Zhenguo had his daughter sent to the palace for personal gain, he still loves her dearly. With his power, it won't be difficult for him to find that herb."

"What if this matter has nothing to do with him and the person behind it has already prepared to monopolize the Silver Moon Grass?"

"Do you know something?"

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed. Pay close attention to the top of your head."

Zhongli Yuan looked up in confusion, not understanding what Leng Qingyi meant.

But Leng Qingyi was already striding towards Zhongcui Palace.

She had to hurry over and replace the An Lao Er who was dressed as Concubine Yi.

All the skill points of this simulated robot are put into force, and its brain is not very useful at all. It would be no fun if it was discovered.

As soon as he saw the gate of Zhongcui Palace, Leng Qingyi suddenly stopped.

Zhongli Yuan, who was following Leng Qingyi and thinking about something, suddenly bumped into Leng Qingyi's back.

"Why did you stop suddenly?"

Zhongli Yuan rubbed his sore nose and looked up in confusion.

At this moment, a dozen men in black suddenly rushed out with sharp blades in their hands and killed Leng Qingyi.

Leng Qing took half a step back and took Zhongli Yuan, who had not yet reacted, into his arms. He moved lightly back and forth among the men in black, but he was not in a hurry to deal with them, as if he was just taking them for a walk.

After more than ten breaths, no one came to protect the emperor.

The gate of Zhongcui Palace was tightly closed, and the palace servants and guards who were following Leng Qing ten steps away seemed to have disappeared without a trace. Only the man in black and Leng Qing were left in the entire world.

"Do you see your current situation? This is your palace."

Zhongli Yuan was held by Leng Qing's waist and flew around. His eyes changed from panic at first to calm and then to indifference.

"you are right."
