Chapter 439: Chapter 440: The King of Soft Rice?

Chapter 439: Chapter 440: The King of Soft Rice?

This indeed seemed a bit like playing dirty.

The corners of Qi Yue’s lips uncontrollably twitched twice again.

This was the first time she felt powerless.

If possible, she really wanted to ask: Shen Zikuang, were you kicked in the head by a donkey?!

She reached out and fiercely slapped the table, her voice cold, “Shen Zikuang, if you do not clarify the causes and consequences today, believe it or not, I will cripple you right now and make you wheelchair back!”

“Master, what do you want me to say?”

Shen Zikuang’s eyes dodged, clearly withholding something.

Qi Yue’s expression turned cold, and she shouted outward.

“Qingzhu!”

Qingzhu, who had been waiting outside, immediately pushed the door and entered.

“What orders does the master have?”

Qi Yue pointed at Shen Zikuang with fury, “Send this man back to Dongjiang with the Black Feather Guard to be returned to the Shen Family.”

Shen Zikuang’s face was full of panic, but he remained silent.

“Master…” Qingzhu hesitated, glancing at Shen Zikuang and then fell silent.

Seeing Qingzhu not moving, Qi Yue was truly getting angry.

“What, do you also have something to say?”

After rendering respectful salutations, Qingzhu spoke, “Master, the reason Butler Shen behaves this way, I know somewhat, and it’s not something punishable.”

Hearing this made Qi Yue’s anger rise further.

“…What exactly is it that you all know but I don’t? Speak quickly.”

“It’s better than let the Butler himself speak!” Qingzhu turned back to look at Shen Zikuang, “Now that we’ve come to this point, you should speak, Butler. With the master here to protect, the Marquis won’t harm everyone!”

Having said that, he rendered a salute to Qi Yue and left.

Qi Yue felt confused.

How did this matter also involve Zhao Xiyan?

Another “everyone”?

Was it not just Shen Zikuang alone involved in this issue?

The more she thought about it, the more confused she became!

Seeing Shen Zikuang still nodding and mumbling without speaking, Qi Yue felt the fire on her forehead about to ignite.

“Aren’t you going to speak!”

“I will speak, I will.”

Shen Zikuang finally spoke, yet he bowed deeply to Qi Yue once again.

“Shen Zikuang pays his respects to Her Majesty the Master.”

Qi Yue’s eyes widened.

“What? What did you say? Her Majesty?”

“Her Majesty the Master,” this time Shen Zikuang seemed fearless, his eyes even gleaming.

Qi Yue’s lips twitched.

When had she become the Empress?

What ‘Her Majesty the Master,’ why does that sound so unpleasant!

“Speak, quickly speak, clarify everything!”

Shen Zikuang, indeed a steward she valued highly, spoke clearly and logically once he began.

But the words he spoke made Qi Yue stand up in shock.

“What did you say? Zhao Xiyan changed the army’s insignia to that of the Qi Family army? And rejected petitions from various places, wishing for me to become the Emperor?”

“Yes, Master.” Shen Zikuang glanced at the door, “Qingzhu and the others also knew about it long ago, only that they can pretend, while I cannot. Being a merchant who accidentally learned of such a major issue, I couldn’t help but panic. That’s how the master noticed… But the Marquis has already instructed that this matter should be kept confidential from the master. Anyone who talks will be beheaded… Master, this was an accidental overhearing on my part, not an intentional involvement. If the Marquis blames this, you must speak for me… Master, once I return, I will tear up the profit-sharing agreement. Shen Zikuang is willing to work like an ox or horse for the master, sparing no effort… Once the master ascends to the greater position, as long as…”

Qi Yue was completely dazed.

At this moment, she had nomind to deal with Shen Zikuang, and seeing him nagging nonstop, she quickly stopped him.

“Okay, I know everything. You can go back now, just keep doing what you were doing before… go out, and let me be alone…”

Shen Zikuang then climbed up from the ground and seeing Qi Yue pinching the bridge of her nose in deep thought, he tiptoed out of the room.

In the outer room, Qingzhu, Zhao Chong, and Zhao Tai were standing around, and as soon as Shen Zikuang came out, they all gave him inquisitive looks.

The current Shen Zikuang obviously looked nothing like the person who had just been kneeling on the ground.

He shook his dark blue robe and a sly smile appeared on his plump face.

“I’ve already said, the rest is up to the master and the Marquis now.”

As he spoke, he even nonchalantly stroked his short beard.

“With the master’s golden words, the Marquis probably won’t trouble me anymore. As for you guys…”

He pointed at Qingzhu and the others, “If you hadn’t privately discussed that a woman like our master couldn’t be Emperor, I wouldn’t have heard it, had I not heard it, I wouldn’t have intervened, and none of this would have happened… To be honest, our master doesn’t even want to be the Emperor at all, you’re all just worrying over nothing… Well now, just wait for the Marquis to trouble you!”

Having said that, he flung his sleeves and walked away.

Qingzhu and Zhao Chong looked at each other, both feeling regretful.

However, the stubborn Zhao Tai was still muttering stubbornly.

“It’s true. It was one thing for the Marquis to rename the great army as the Qi Family’s army since the Great General’s name was so revered, but to forsake the throne of a perfectly good Emperor, what’s with that? Look at the world, see if there’s a woman in power! The Marquis…”

“Shut up! Will it kill you to stop talking? I’ll deal with you myself first.” Qingzhu angrily ordered.

“You can deal with me but I still have to say it… and on what grounds can you deal with me? Both of us are close to the Marquis…”

Seeing Zhao Tai’s stubbornness, Zhao Chong quickly rushed over and covered his mouth.

“Can’t you just say less?”

“Qingzhu…” Qi Yue’s voice came from inside the room.

Qingzhu glared warningly at Zhao Tai.

“You know how the Marquis is, do you want to get us all killed? It was you who stirred up trouble last time!”

After speaking, Qingzhu forced a smile, pushed the door open, and walked in.

Seeing the door close again, the frustrated Zhao Tai continued to mumble quietly.

“What I said wasn’t wrong. The Marquis adores his wife, sure, but there should be limits. With the master’s capabilities, of course, the Empress’s status is necessary, but a woman becoming the Emperor is a joke… Did you know, all the four nations are laughing at our Marquis, calling him a ‘kept man’…”

Seeing him ramble on, Zhao Chong couldn’t help but scold.

“Will you say less, the Marquis surely has his plans, which are not for you or me to influence?”

Zhao Tai was still somewhat resentful, it was uncomfortable for him not to speak his mind.

“Regardless, there should be rules. The master is capable, but she is after all a woman… The most important thing a woman should focus on is having children…”

“…”

In the room separated by a wall, Qi Yue was quietly listening to their discussion.

As for Qingzhu, he was so embarrassed he almost wanted to tear his scalp off.

“Master, whatever you want to know, I can tell you…”

“Shh…” Qi Yue raised her finger in a silencing gesture, and continued to listen to the noises outside.

Qingzhu wanted to remind the others but dared not, and finally, Qi Yue turned around, sitting down on a low couch nearby.

“Empress’s dignity? A kept man? Humph…”

Suddenly, she let out a peculiar laugh, leaning back lazily, crossing her long legs slightly.

Though a woman, this pose did not seem unladylike on her, instead, it exuded an indescribable dashing and stylish air.

On that porcelain white face, her slightly pursed red lips did not look ugly, but added a touch of mischievous charm, making her even more stunningly beautiful.

Qingzhu glanced at her then quickly looked away.

No peeking!
