"Meet the Queen Mother!" Xue Rong knelt on the ground and saluted.
"Dad, how many times have I told you that there are no outsiders here and there is no need to worry about the red tape."
Xue Jingruo looked helpless and stepped forward to help Xue Rong up.
"Haha, of course you will have what you should have. You are the Queen Mother of Qianwu. I am your father, so I should abide by the rules."
"So as not to be caught talking nonsense." Xue Rong smiled, and then asked doubtfully: "Ruo'er, dad sent someone to notify you right after he went to court, but what happened?"
"Well, Xu'er wants to visit the palace. Considering that he has never stepped out of the palace in the past ten years, I agreed to allow him to go out on the Lantern Festival."
"Dad, please find some help to protect his safety."
"What, you agree with Lin Xu leaving the palace?" Xue Rong stood up immediately, stared and said, "Ruo'er, you are confused."
"Do you know how many people out there want him?"
"If the matter of leaving the palace is leaked, it will increase the risk greatly."
"If someone takes us away, our Xue family will be doomed."
Despite the Xue family's overwhelming power, Xue Rong has tried almost every means to get into this position over the years.
Not having military power is the Xue family's biggest dilemma at the moment.
Once Lin Xu fell into the hands of Mu Jiushan or those vassal kings, the Xue family would be the first to be eliminated.
"It's only one day. Besides, it's only within the imperial city."
"Dad, do you dare to say that you have done nothing these years?"
"It's hard to say about other places, but within the scope of the imperial city, as long as the army doesn't attack the territory, what do I, the Xue family, have to fear?"
"Even Mu Jiushan and the feudal kings have to weigh it."
Xue Rong's expression changed, and he immediately sighed and sat down: "She is indeed my daughter. Even if she has not left the palace, I still can't hide anything from you."
"But nothing is absolute. If this is Lin Xu's plan, we may not be able to guard against it."
Xue Jingruo stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the fog rose flower path.
"Dad, you want supreme power, and I helped you do it, even at the expense of marrying the late emperor who was on the verge of death. Now, even the imperial power is under your control."
"But Xu'er is innocent. He is just a puppet in this power struggle."
"Even though you and mother have often come to the palace to see me these years."
"But the one who is really with me every day is Xu'er."
"He is sensible and obedient. I just want him to experience the happiness that ordinary children should have."
"What bad thoughts can a child who grew up around me have?"
"For your rights, I forced him to compromise for fifteen years."
"This time, I don't want to reject him again!"
Xue Jingruo's voice had an unquestionable tone. Today was the first time she spoke to Xue Rong in the Queen Mother's tone.
Xue Rong looked complicated. What he was most worried about had happened.
Although Ruo'er is his daughter, she is still a woman.
It is difficult for a child who has been raised since childhood not to have feelings for him, even if he is not his biological child.
This is a woman's nature, and no one can change it.
It was unexpected that Ruo'er could achieve this step, so what reason did he have to refuse.
"That's all, I will arrange everything. But Ruo'er, you have to promise me. This is the first and last time."
"Lin Xu determines the lives and deaths of thousands of people in my Xue family. I can't joke with the lives of so many people."
"Otherwise, I will be the eternal sinner of the family. You must understand my painstaking efforts."
Xue Jingruo turned around, smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Dad. I will also thank you on Lin Xu's behalf."
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
Xue Rong stood up. Lin Xu's departure from the palace was a big deal and should not be taken lightly.
The person who uses it must be a close confidant. Only in this way can we ensure that it will not be leaked.
"Well, dad, walk slowly."
Xue Jingruo nodded and watched Xue Rong leave.
....
"Yes, what bad thoughts can a child have?"
In Ning Yuan Hall, Lin Xu put down the paper with a smile.
The above is the entire conversation between Xue Jingruo and Xue Rong.
It took only a moment for them to finish talking, but now they appeared on his desk in the form of a paper letter.
Needless to say, it must be the credit of Dongchang.
Yesterday, Xue Jingruo executed all the maids and eunuchs who served him, just in time for Dongchang to find an opportunity.
Now the eunuchs and maids serving him are all Dongchang factory guards.
In Dongchang, there are not only eunuchs, but also women.
Lin Xu only found out this morning.
The operation of raising a woman in the east factory is so awesome, and the system can still be played.
"You should find an opportunity as soon as possible, replace all the eunuchs and maids in the palace with our people, and there are five million taels on the table. Give them all to Cao Zhengchun!"
"yes."
A eunuch came in and took away the silver coins on the table.
Although he told Xue Jingruo yesterday that there was no shortage of money, she still had someone send it over.
Regardless of their identities, Xue Jingruo still treats Lin Xu well.
Although his diet is controlled by her, if you look carefully, you will find that what he eats every day is specially matched.
To ensure balanced nutrition and avoid illness caused by irregular diet.
"Atong, are you an artificial intelligence or a living thing?" Lin Xu asked curiously, leaning on the dragon chair.
[Whatever you think I am is what I am, anyway, I have wisdom! 】
"So you're smart?"
[You are too smart to be worthy, but when I say second, no one dares to call you first. 】
"If you don't believe me, shall I test you?"
[Oh, little host, you still want to test me? Don’t you know that systems are omnipotent? 】
"Really. Then listen carefully."
"Under what circumstances does 1+1 equal 3?"
[1+1 equals 3? Host, as your math and physical education teacher taught me, 1+1 is not equal to 3 under any circumstances. 】
"Wrong! Wrong calculation!"
【? ? ? 】
[This question does not count, I am not ready, I have to try again! 】
"Okay. Listen carefully."
"There are 10 birds in the tree. One is shot and killed by a hunter. How many are left?"
[Simple, there are 9 more. 】
"wrong."
【? ? ? 】
[How is it possible? The King of Heaven is here today, and it is also 9. 】
"The correct answer is 0."
【fart! Can't you afford it? 】
"Who can't afford it? If the other birds have flown away, where are the birds left?"
"With a system like yours, as a host, my future is in jeopardy!"
Lin Xu sighed, with deep sadness on his face.
[No, this doesn’t count. If I try again, I will get the answer right. 】
"Pull him down! With your intelligence, no matter how much you say, it's just a waste of time."
"If you're not tired, I'm still tired."
[No, I can definitely answer the next question correctly. 】
"No. Unless you add some bonuses."
"For example, if I give a question and I fail to answer a question, I will be given an ordinary factory guard for free!"
"If you get ten questions wrong in a row, you can give me a free member of the Hundred Household."
"If you get a hundred questions wrong in a row, give me a free Qianhu."
"And so on."
【...】
[Come here, I'm afraid of you. But since it's a gamble, you have to pay. 】
[If I answer a question correctly, I will deduct the money of an ordinary factory guard from you. 】
[If you answer ten questions in a row, you will be deducted money from a hundred households. 】
[And so on! 】
"Okay, let's begin."
Lin Xu smiled and started fighting the system for three hundred rounds.
