Lin Xu took a deep look at her. This woman had obviously had unusual experiences, otherwise she would not be so eager for power.
"Do you want to be an official, or be my concubine?"
"A civilian girl wants to be an official." Yan Xier spoke directly without any hesitation.
"What, you don't like my concubine?"
"Of course not. Your Majesty is a man among men. He is the man that every woman in the world dreams of."
"Even a common girl is devoted to His Majesty. A common girl can remain unmarried for His Majesty's life, but she cannot enter the palace."
"You must be in my position!" Lin Xu sneered.
"Is there any difference?" Yan Xi'er asked.
Lin Xu was silent.
This sentence is the same as if you like my money but not me as a person.
But then again, now that we have reached this position, it would be too false to talk about so-called feelings.
Since ancient times, which emperor has not had three thousand beauties in his harem? Does it mean that the emperor has feelings for them? Obviously impossible.
This position itself is made up of interests. You not only enjoy the aura brought by this position, but also want to be alone. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Yan Xier's words may seem a bit heartless, but upon closer inspection, there is some truth to them.
If you were not the emperor, she would not take the initiative to send you to her door.
There will be no intersection between the two.
"Loyal minister or treacherous minister, if you become an official, what kind of person do you think you are?"
"Depending on His Majesty's needs, if a civilian girl is really lucky enough to sit in that position, there may be more traitorous ministers."
"Loyal words are offensive to the ears, but a daughter of the common people will not disobey His Majesty, nor would she dare to do so."
Lin Xu thought for a moment and then slowly said: "Yan Xi'er listens to the order!"
"The daughter of the people is here!" Yan Xier immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"The three counties of the imperial city have always been occupied by eunuchs, who secretly set many exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. The people were miserable and their lives were in dire straits."
"I order you to go to the three counties of the imperial city immediately to resolve these exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes. You must satisfy the officials and the people, otherwise, you will be executed without mercy."
"Exorbitant taxes!?"
Yan Xier's face condensed slightly. She didn't expect that His Majesty would really believe her and entrust such an important matter to her.
According to her estimation, being a county magistrate would be pretty good.
But now, he is actually in direct charge of the three counties of the Imperial City.
"Why, you can't do it?" Lin Xu immediately frowned when the other party didn't answer for a long time.
Yan Xi'er's expression changed and she immediately kowtowed: "Thank you for your gift, your Majesty, I am fine with you, my daughter. It's just that I don't understand something."
"explain!"
"Since ancient times, it has been a joke for women to be officials. I am actually ready to die. But instead of not caring, you entrust me with important responsibilities. I don't understand."
"In my eyes, there is only distinction between ability and there is no distinction between men and women."
"If you have the ability, what's the point of making you the Duke of the country?"
Hearing Lin Xu's words, Yan Xi'er's delicate body trembled. She couldn't help but raise her head to look at him twice more, and finally kowtowed again: "I will do my best to die and live up to your majesty's grace!"
Just as Lin Xu was about to get up, Yan Xi'er suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty, wait a minute."
"Um?"
He looked over and found Yan Xier looking somewhere with a red face.
Lin Xu lowered his head, suddenly embarrassed.
My little brother raised his head proudly. If he walked out, he would probably ruin his reputation for the rest of his life.
Just when he was about to use his inner strength to suppress it, a figure came to him: "Your Majesty, this is my fault, let me do it!"
Yan Xi'er blushed and slowly bowed her head.
Lin Xu stared, "Damn it, women in this world are so open-minded, they actually have such a good time."
....
Half an hour later, Lin Xu walked out of the room expressionlessly, followed by Yan Xi'er, her mouth slightly swollen, and the blush still lingering on her stunningly pretty face.
Seeing Lin Xu coming out, Tao Zhitian wanted to step forward and ask, but when he saw Yan Xi'er following behind him, he rushed forward in surprise, "Junior sister, are you okay?"
Others in Qingfeng Mountain also came forward to ask.
"Well, I'm sorry for making you brothers worried." Yan Xi'er nodded apologetically.
"As long as you're fine, let's go, let's go get something to eat first, and then return directly to Qingfeng Mountain."
Tao Zhitian wanted to hold Yan Xier's hand, but unfortunately she took a step back and avoided it.
"Dear brothers, I will not go back to Qingfeng Mountain. I have something to do and I have to go to the three counties of the Imperial City."
Yan Xi'er originally wanted to tell the truth, but when she thought about His Majesty's hidden identity, she probably didn't want to be exposed, so she changed her story in time.
"Going to the three counties of the Imperial City? What are you doing there? We'll go with you." Tao Zhitian frowned.
"No, we've been out long enough. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid Master will say something."
Tao Zhitian still refused to give up, but seeing Yan Xier's determined face, he finally gave up.
"By the way, junior sister, how did you cure your poison? Are you really okay? Do you want to see a doctor for another look?" Tao Zhitian looked confused.
"No, I'm fine."
"It was this young master who used his own secret recipe to save my life." Yan Xier glanced at Lin Xu not far away.
"It's him!"
Tao Zhitian also looked at Lin Xu and frowned slightly. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that his junior sister's eyes had changed when she looked at him.
Could it be because the other party saved his junior sister?
"As long as you're fine." Tao Zhitian breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhu Lian, please find two people to take Yan Xi'er to Bai Qi later." As soon as Lin Xu finished instructing Bai Qi, a voice full of surprise and shock rang out.
"Miss, are you okay?"
The old man who looked after Yan Xier's injuries yesterday came over.
He said at that time that this girl would never survive today, which was actually considered conservative. According to his estimation, something might have happened last night.
But when he got up this morning, he found that everything was fine last night and there was no news of anyone dying.
So I came to take a look with doubts.
When he saw the good-looking Yan Xier.
Unable to control himself any longer, he immediately cried out in shock.
My body was broken and my soul was gone. After one night, I was completely healed.
Could it be that they really found the Hundred Poisons and Poison Pills?
How is it possible? He has been here for decades and has never heard of the Hundred Poison Breaking Pills appearing within a hundred miles.
"Well, who are you?" Yan Xier was confused.
"I was the doctor who treated you yesterday. I thought you wouldn't survive today, but I didn't expect that not only did you survive, but you were also alive and kicking."
"If you hadn't been here, I would have thought that yesterday was a dream. Miss, I have a merciless request. Could you please let me take your pulse? I'm afraid there is some lingering poison."
Yan Xi'er did not agree immediately, but looked at Lin Xu.
"Let's take a look! So as not to leave any sequelae."
Yan Xier then stretched out her hand.
The doctor felt the pulse and kept saying it was impossible. The toxins in this man's body actually disappeared, leaving not a trace behind.
"Miss, I'm sorry for the rudeness, but I don't know how you cleared the broken spirit powder from your body."
"Nothing else, I'm just curious."
Yan Xier smiled and shook her head: "This young master used a unique secret recipe. As for the specific secret recipe, I don't know."
"What, is this young master?"
The old man looked at Lin Xu, who was well-dressed and handsome, and suddenly fell into thought.
Why does this young man's eyebrows look so much like that man?
But he didn't come forward to ask.
Maybe I saw it wrong. After all, there are many similar people in the world.
