Empress, please have some self-respect. I am not your husband.

Ye Bingyun was furious!

She never imagined she would hear such words one day. And to make matters worse, this bastard in front of her actually wanted her to cooperate!

Although my true identity is that of a woman, the demeanor I present to the civil and military officials is that of a man!

And he was the ruler of a country!

Is it even possible for a human being to fake kidney deficiency?

"Your Majesty, please don't get agitated. Why are you swearing?" Lu Feng said, somewhat displeased.

"You insulted me! I even wanted to kill you!"

Ye Bingyun said angrily, "How can I cooperate with something like this? How can you expect me to cooperate!"

"Oh, Your Majesty, didn't I already say it was fake? It's just an act."

Lu Feng chuckled awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed himself.

After all, it's really quite despicable for a man, especially an emperor, to admit to having kidney deficiency in front of his subjects.

"Don't even think about it!" Her Majesty the Empress gritted her teeth.

Lu Feng raised an eyebrow: "Your Majesty, this concerns our ability to extract money from officials. If you don't cooperate, things will get complicated."

"What does making money have to do with my kidney deficiency? Bah! I don't have kidney deficiency!"

Ye Bingyun said angrily, perhaps because she had been pretending to be a man for too long, so much so that Her Majesty the Empress was particularly sensitive to the term "kidney deficiency".

"The thing is like this..."

Lu Feng took a sip of tea and told her that the goods had been delivered. Seeing that Ye Bingyun was listening intently, he continued, "I'm confident that I can get those rich young ladies and wives to spend a lot of money on things like perfumes and lipsticks."

“But Your Majesty, it’s not enough to just make money off these women. We need to get the men involved too to really make a fortune.”

“I have already investigated, so I had two thousand bottles of the most popular strong liquor among the people of Qianguo. It will definitely fetch a high price.”

Ye Bingyun frowned: "That's true, but what does it have to do with kidney deficiency?"

Lu Feng chuckled wickedly, "Your Majesty, you don't understand. Anything that's associated with aphrodisiacs and kidney tonics will inevitably attract countless men to buy it. Your Majesty is a man too, don't you understand this principle?"

I don't know anything!

Seeing Lu Feng's smug smile, Ye Bingyun really wanted to punch that handsome face flat.

She said impatiently, "Tell me what you plan to do first?"

Lu Feng coughed and said, "My plan is as follows..."

After hearing his explanation, Her Majesty the Empress was utterly speechless. She remained silent for a moment before saying, "So, does it absolutely have to be my cooperation? Can't we have someone else?"

"Changing to someone else won't have the same effect, Your Majesty. Let me explain."

Lu Feng said, "First of all, you are the emperor. Since ancient times, which emperor didn't have three palaces and six courtyards with three thousand beauties? So it's perfectly normal for you to have kidney deficiency."

"I don't have kidney deficiency!" Ye Bingyun was speechless.

Lu Feng coughed: "Let's assume, let's assume. Secondly, because you are the emperor, you happened to drink our wine and your kidney deficiency was cured! If this gets out, what do you think outsiders will think?"

"What do you think?" Ye Bingyun asked, puzzled.

Lu Feng said matter-of-factly, "They will definitely think that it is easy for the emperor to replenish his kidneys. Not to mention the precious medicinal materials, the imperial physicians are people that ordinary people cannot come into contact with."

"But only this wine cured the emperor's kidney deficiency. What does that mean? It means this wine is very effective! It even cured the emperor's kidney deficiency. After drinking one sip, he was able to have sex with eight women in one night and was still full of energy the next day."

"Even the emperor said it was good after drinking it, so wouldn't they immediately take out their money to buy more?"

Ye Bingyun was speechless for a moment, then said in a low voice, "What if some people don't experience any effect after drinking it?"

Lu Feng raised his eyebrows: "This is our second brilliant move. What grown man would admit to having kidney deficiency? When they come to buy this wine, they will definitely use their love of drinking as an excuse. They will definitely tell others that they mainly love drinking, and that kidney deficiency has nothing to do with buying wine at all."

"That's why I had someone send over strong liquor, and it's a kind of liquor they've never tasted before, which is just right for the tastes of the people of Qian Kingdom."

"In this way, even if the wine doesn't cure their kidney deficiency, they won't say anything to outsiders, and they might even wonder if they haven't drunk enough."

Her Majesty the Empress was shocked and wanted to say, "Don't you feel any remorse for saying such things?"

But I have to admit, there's some truth to that.

What grown man would admit to having kidney deficiency? Even himself...

No, I am a woman!

"How is it, Your Majesty?" Lu Feng asked.

After hesitating for a moment, and thinking of the empty national treasury, Ye Bingyun finally had no choice but to agree to cooperate with Lu Feng in playing an emperor with kidney deficiency.

He kept reassuring himself that it was all worth it for the people of Qian Kingdom.

Seeing that she agreed, Lu Feng immediately started discussing it with her.

After all the details were agreed upon, Ye Bingyun suddenly asked out of the blue, "Lu Feng, are you sure your wine can cure kidney deficiency?"

"What a joke! That's just strong liquor, not medicinal wine. Besides being strong and fragrant, it has no other special characteristics. How could it possibly cure kidney deficiency?"

Lu Feng smiled nonchalantly.

Ye Bingyun was dumbfounded: "Wait a minute, aren't you asking me to cooperate with you in deceiving and swindling people?"

She was stunned. She had thought that Lu Feng's long-winded explanation meant that the wine he sold was truly effective. Who would have thought that it couldn't cure any kidney deficiency at all?

Wouldn't that just be asking me to scam people?

"It was a scam from the start. Didn't we agree in the beginning to swindle money from the officials?" Lu Feng asked, puzzled.

"No, no, no... How can this be? Lu Feng, I think we should discuss this again."

Ye Bingyun became anxious: "Aren't you just using my name to deceive and swindle people? If that's the case, I'll be cursed to death behind my back!"

Lu Feng exclaimed, "Your Majesty, what are you saying? Didn't I just say that no grown man would admit to having kidney deficiency?"

Even if they're weak, they'll stubbornly insist that they're just not in good shape.

"Don't worry, if no one has any effect after drinking it, then it's effective. No one will spread rumors."

Her Majesty the Empress was completely convinced. Looking at Lu Feng, only one sentence popped into her mind: How could there be such a shameless person in the world!

Seeing him fall silent, Lu Feng clicked his tongue, assuming the other was still agonizing over some deception or scam. He said, "At worst, I'll just mix some effective aphrodisiacs into the wine, okay?"

"That way, they will react after drinking it, and Your Majesty will no longer need to worry."

Ye Bingyun was speechless. A potent aphrodisiac?

You bastard, are you selling alcohol or medicine?!

At this moment, Her Majesty the Empress deeply regretted agreeing to Lu Feng's request. This guy was utterly inhuman!
