"Ugh!
This... you are indeed quite perverse! But she dared not say it!
'Your Majesty, I am a man, and you like me too?' Qin Yun asked again!
'I am very certain, even if you were a man, I would still adore you! If you say I am a catamite, then so be it!' Xie Qianmo lowered his posture considerably!
'You have not yet answered me, are you willing to be my Imperial Husband?'
Qin Yun frowned!
She could never be an Imperial Husband in this life, she didn't have that destiny!
If she truly agreed to be his Imperial Husband to that scoundrel, the wedding night would be her night of death!
She would not gamble with her life!
'Your Majesty, may I refuse?'
Refuse?
Xie Qianmo's eyes turned cold!
'Why? Do you not like me? But you do like my body, isn't that so?'
'Your Majesty, what nonsense are you spouting? How could I like your body! I have what you have! What is so special about it?'
Pinched Qin Yun's chin, Xie Qianmo said seriously, 'Don't play coy with me, I know everything about you seeing my body! Before you gave me acupuncture, you even drooled looking at my body!'
He knew about this too?
She had turned her body away to wipe her drool then!
'Your Majesty, you couldn't have... seen incorrectly?' Qin Yun asked softly.
'I saw it very clearly, you were drooling while looking at my body!'
'Honestly, do you like my body?' Xie Qianmo teased Qin Yun!
Lifting Qin Yun's chin, he demanded she meet his gaze!
Looking into Xie Qianmo's eyes, Qin Yun began to retreat!
This man's eyesight was truly sharp! He could even notice such a minute detail!
'Your Majesty, who says drooling means craving your body? You are too narcissistic!'
'You admit it! Hahaha...!' Xie Qianmo threw his head back and laughed!
Qin Yun's face flushed with shame!
Heavens!
She was too embarrassed to show her face!
'Your Majesty, everyone likes beautiful things, including people!'
'So, you like me too, don't you?'
Qin Yun clicked her tongue!
This person was quite adept at grasping the key point!
'Your Majesty, I admit, you are indeed good-looking! But we are both men! It won't have a good outcome!'
'So you do like me, don't you?' Xie Qianmo held onto this point and refused to let go!
'Your Majesty, this cannot be called liking, it can only be called admiration! I admire you very much! After all, you are the most noble man under heaven!'
Although the scoundrel's embrace was very comfortable, she couldn't continue like this!
Reason!
She had to remain rational and not fall!
Qin Yun struggled to get up, Xie Qianmo was very reluctant, but he still let Qin Yun get up smoothly!
Getting this far today was already good!
Qin Yun's attitude had shown slight progress compared to before!
'Your Majesty, please put on your imperial robes, don't catch a chill!'
Good!
She even cared about him now!
This progress was more than a little bit!
Xie Qianmo complied and put on his imperial robes!
After Xie Qianmo finished dressing, Qin Yun said earnestly, 'Your Majesty, I have something to discuss with you!'
Upon hearing this, Xie Qianmo's expression changed several times!
Could this brat be seeking his help, which was why he showed him a little care?
Thinking of this possibility, Xie Qianmo's expression turned cold again!
Qin Yun, standing nearby, felt a bit bewildered!
They were fine a moment ago!
Why did his expression change so drastically in the next second?
'Your Majesty, I will show you something!' Regardless of what the other party thought, the matter was more important!
Qin Yun pulled out a piece of cloth with gold thread edges from her sleeve!
Xie Qianmo took the piece of cloth and examined it carefully!
'Where did you get this from?'
'Your Majesty, do you know where this cloth with gold thread edges comes from?' Qin Yun retorted!
'This is cloth that the Western Regions tribute to our Great Zhou! How did this small piece end up in your hands?'
'Your Majesty, this small piece of cloth was stolen by me from a clothing shop!'
Qin Yun tentatively asked, 'Your Majesty, which official was responsible for the tribute from the Western Regions?'
Xie Qianmo looked directly at Qin Yun, 'You really want to know?'
Qin Yun felt a little uneasy under Xie Qianmo's gaze!
She was investigating a case now, and every clue that appeared was extremely important, so naturally, she wanted to know!
'Your Majesty, this tribute cloth from the Western Regions was for you, can you bear to let those corrupt officials embezzle your belongings?'
'Naturally, I cannot bear it! If you want to know which official is handling this matter, I will tell you, but what benefit can you give me?'
Qin Yun was a little confused!
Had this scoundrel's brain malfunctioned!
The cloth belonged to him, and retrieving it would be a great benefit to him, so why was he making conditions with her!
'Your Majesty, the silver in your treasury is enough to pile up into mountains of gold and silver, what else do you want?'
Xie Qianmo naturally embraced Qin Yun's slender waist, 'Silly girl, what I want is you!'
'Your Majesty, we are discussing important matters, please be serious!' Qin Yun lowered her head.
'What I am discussing with you is also important matters!'
Xie Qianmo caressed Qin Yun's slender waist and narrowed his eyes, saying, 'The people in charge of this matter are from the Ministry of Rites!'
Ministry of Rites?
'Your Majesty, there are so many officials in the Ministry of Rites, which specific official is responsible for the tribute from the Western Regions?'
'The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites! Guo Yuqiu!' Xie Qianmo looked down at Qin Yun in his embrace and said, 'Didn't this person impeach you in the imperial court before? Have you forgotten?'
Qin Yun nodded, 'I remember. This person embezzled Your Majesty's tribute, doesn't Your Majesty want to investigate him?'
Xie Qianmo chuckled, 'With your help, why not? I am quite at leisure!'
Qin Yun broke free from his embrace and said earnestly, 'Your Majesty, what are the tribute items from the Western Regions that are presented to our Great Zhou every year?'
Xie Qianmo also became serious at this moment, explaining in detail, 'Three rolls of cloth with gold embroidery. Although the quantity is small, the entire Western Regions can only produce less than ten rolls a year. Three rolls as tribute is already quite good!'
'In addition, ten thousand cattle of each type, five thousand scallops with pearls, and one hundred pieces of coral and jade!'
Qin Yun calculated silently in her heart!
This scoundrel was too rich! She hadn't expected his storerooms to hold so many rare treasures!
'Your Majesty, there must be an account book for the tribute items from the Western Regions, did you see it at the time?'
'I checked it, and there was no shortage!'
Qin Yun lowered her head, 'Your Majesty, may I see your national treasury? Just those three rolls of cloth.'
'What? Are you very interested in my national treasury?'
Naturally, she was interested!
But she dared not say it!
'Your Majesty, this matter is full of doubts! Don't you want to find out the truth?'
'If we go to the national treasury to investigate, perhaps we can find the truth!' Qin Yun blinked her beautiful eyes and said!
'My national treasury is not something anyone can see! Only my Empress can see it! Of course... my Imperial Husband can also see it!'
Qin Yun frowned!
This person was finding ways to make her his Imperial Husband!
'Your Majesty, this matter is no trivial matter, I am not joking with you!'
It was as if the Emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was!
'I am not joking with you either, the national treasury... I can show you!'"
