The Rui Beast’s incense burner was wafting with a scent of fragrance. Lu Xingzhou was sitting behind the desk. Although he was talking to people, he looked rather casual.

Jiang Rui tilted her chin slightly, with accusations in her words: “Your Majesty is young and does not understand things, so there are things that are not satisfactory. Lu Gonggong is good at words, why scare him?”

“Niangniang is serious. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, I am a little subordinate, how dare I scare him? It’s just that there are villains with crooked intentions who want to bring bad to Your Majesty. I’m just giving a small punishment and a big admonition.”

Lu Xingzhou played with the paperweight. He spoke modestly and respectfully, but his tone was indifferent everywhere.

Moreover, he is a castrate, neither a slave nor a servant, but he calls himself me1 in front of the Empress Dowager, which can be described as rampant. He clearly does not put the power of the emperor in his eyes.

“You–” Jiang Rui was about to have a seizure, but she endured it again and sneered, “Why should Lu Gonggong say it with a high-sounding voice? I am afraid that in Lu Gonggong’s heart, the less His Majesty does not learn well, the more it is as you want!”

“What does Niangniang mean by this, why can’t I understand it?”

Jiang Rui took a deep breath and said, “Mingren2 don’t talk secretly. I have been ill these days, which makes me think clearly about some things. I’m afraid that Lu Gonggong would be clear about the conversation between me and my father that day. Maybe it was a joke to enjoy, right?”

“How dare I laugh at Niangniang.” Lu Xingzhou’s words were sincere, but there was a smile at the corners of his mouth, obviously acquiescing.

Jiang Rui snorted and walked two steps closer: “Don’t be too proud, Lu Gonggong. Even if you cover the sky with your hand, there is always a place that can’t be covered between your fingers. I would advise Gonggong, don’t try to move my father. Although there are many people under the sky who succumb to the power of Gonggong, there are never many righteous people. The students under my father are all over the hills and fields. If one day his old man encounters an accident, the people below the sky can drown you with a mouthful of spit!”

Lu Xingzhou seemed to have heard something funny and chuckled, only then he raised his eyelids and looked at her directly.

The Empress Dowager fell ill from the front, and finally, set up two bones in her body, got a little temper, and cleared her mind. Unfortunately, she was still naive.

The literati read two books with a little ink in their stomachs, and one by one, they pretended to be saint disciples, pretending to be high-minded, thinking that they were different from ordinary people.

It is a pity that the people of the world are bustling, all for profit, for the benefit of the future.

If he killed Old Mr. Xie today, it is true that someone would give him the lead, but could the person who came out be for Old Mr. Xie?

Wrong, they are for the reputation of upholding justice and for the integrity of not fearing power.

And these two things can be obtained by stepping on the bones of Old Mr. Xie and scolding the sky angrily. If they were to be the second Old Mr. Xie, this group of rabble would only disperse faster than the clouds of smoke.

Lu Xingzhou’s eyes became colder, but the smile at the corner of his mouth became more obvious. He closed his eyes and then said slowly: “Niangniang’s words today, I can’t understand a single sentence. Well, how could Master Xie encounter an accident?”

“You don’t have to pretend to be confused.” Jiang Rui said, “I didn’t expect to succeed at the beginning. Now that you know it, it’s better to open it up. Everyone knows that the world is now in the hands of Lu Gonggong. His Majesty and I are just a puppet in the hands of Gonggong. If you want us to live, we will live. If you want us to die, I am afraid that I will not even see the sun tomorrow immediately. I already understand my own situation and I just want to live peacefully with His Majesty. It will definitely not interfere with Gonggong’s affairs. Gonggong’s hands are under the palm of the world, so why bother with our orphans and widows?”

After clarifying the advantages in a strong tone, she began to show weakness again.

Lu Xingzhou was a little surprised. It seemed that the Empress Dowager had indeed grown a bit of brain.

It just seems that no one taught her how to show her weakness. With her head raised so high and her back so straight, how can she have the meaning of asking for someone?

Fortunately, there are too many people bowing in front of him. He has long been tired of seeing it. It is not rare for others to show weakness to him and beg for mercy. On the contrary, he likes to look at people holding up and trembling on the other.

She is like this, which really pleases him.

Originally, he was already a little impatient with the actions behind her and Old Mr. Xie. There were still many women left by the first emperor in the harem. If she was bored to sit in the position of the Empress Dowager, naturally there were others vying to do it. But now that she can amuse him, it doesn’t hurt to stay for a while.

“What are you laughing at?” Jiang Rui was already reluctant to show weakness, and now when he saw the inexplicable smile on his face, she suddenly became disgusted.

Lu Xingzhou not only did not care, but also made a compliment: “This minister just thinks that the Empress Dowager Niangniang has the phoenix’s appearance, graceful and noble, worthy of the honor of the mother of the world, which is impressive.”

If these words come from other people’s mouths casually, they may be compliments. But Lu Xingzhou said it, it was like saying the opposite way. It tore off a piece of cloth to hide their shame, making their faces hot.

“Presumptuous!” Jiang Rui was embarrassed and angry. She reached out to slap him.

Lu Xingzhou stopped it easily. He looked weak, but his movements were so fast that people could not see clearly. His hands were so strong that he immediately squeezed a red mark on Jiang Rui’s wrist.

“Niangniang, be careful, don’t twist your hands.” Lu Xingzhou reminded her kindly.

The wrist under the palm was thin and slender as if it could be broken with a single break. Because of the owner’s anger and fear, it was shaking gently.

What about the Empress Dowager, what about being aloof, is it not trembling in the palm of his hand?

The scene in front of him made Lu Xingzhou’s heart not only happy, but also a secret excitement. (T/N: I think you are a pervert!)
