Forced to take the love route by a scumbag villain
Chapter 27 Chapter 27
No no no, it still won't work.
Meng Xing quickly put an end to his dangerous thoughts. After all, he is also the king of a country. Although he has just been on the job for a day, he should always look like a king. How can he casually bend his waist for a little money or even sell himself?
Besides...Wen Rulan might not be willing to buy it.
Although the facial features of Wen Rulan in ancient costume and Wen Rulan in suit are exactly the same, there are still some differences.
The most obvious difference is that in Meng Xing's brief contact with Wen Rulan just now, although Wen Rulan looked at him with strange eyes, it was not as explicit as before, as if she wanted to take off her clothes with her eyes.
I don't know if it's due to the difference between the monarch and the ministers that the other party is restrained, or Wen Rulan in this ancient world doesn't have any strange obsession with herself that must be slept on.
Meng Xing hoped it was the latter, after all, he really didn't want to be wary of verbal or physical harassment from the task target when he was doing the task.
All in all, there is no other way to sell yourself for money, and you still have to think of other ways to get money from Wen Rulan.
As for what method to use...Meng Xing walked while thinking, this time he will not go to the account department where Ku Yin is deposited, because it is useless to go.
He turned around on the spot, followed the way he had just come, and walked back the same way.
The few young eunuchs following him looked confused at his sudden change of direction. However, although Meng Xing was a puppet emperor with no real power, he was not something these young eunuchs could comment on casually, so they did not dare to say anything. He followed Meng Xing obediently to the imperial study.
Meng Xing walked very fast before, in a hurry, with a sense of arrogance to empty the national treasury in his heart, but now it is different, he wants to ask Wen Rulan for money at the same time, so he walks very reluctantly, walks Pause for three steps, shake your head, negate the plan you just came up with in your mind, and then take three more steps, and then negate.
After repeating this process, he walked about a hundred meters after burning the incense.
The straight-line distance from the Imperial Study Room is one kilometer.
It's not too slow, at least you can reach the Imperial Study Room before dark.Although Meng Xing was the only one who thought this way, the little eunuchs who followed him all looked hopeless.
Meng Xing had no intention of speeding up at all, because he still had no idea how to ask Wen Rulan for money.
When he was thinking a little crazy, a strange voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"My brother, I have met your Majesty." The man in dark green uniforms saluted Meng Xing. He was smiling, with gentle eyebrows. He was graceful when saluting, like a humble and courteous gentleman.
However, Meng Xing just looked at the other party, and didn't respond for a while, because he didn't know which brother the other party was. Although he had introduced his brother in the background of the plot he read before, they only had names and no photos.Unavoidably, the embarrassing scene of admitting the wrong person happened, so he cramped his feet and clicked on the other person's profile to start reading.
ID: Meng Fan
The second son of Emperor Jiaping, born to Concubine Rong, was named King Qi.King Qi is knowledgeable, gentle, humble and courteous, and has an excellent reputation in the court.
There seems to be nothing strange in the introduction of just two sentences.But Meng Xing squinted his eyes, Meng Fan... his second brother is nothing ordinary at all.
Meng Fan's talent and conduct as a courtier were obvious to all, and he crushed Meng Xing to nowhere. What's more, before Emperor Jiaping ascended to the throne, Guan Yan and his group even had plans to dethrone the crown prince and install King Qi as the new crown prince.
But they didn't succeed, because Wen Rulan was not happy to see an excellent crown prince inheriting the throne, and he preferred a manipulative puppet like Meng Xing.
Thanks to Wen Rulan's "like", it was Meng Waking who took the throne in the end, not his outstanding second brother. However, although his second brother was not fighting for his position on the surface, in fact... Meng Xing did not dare to 100% guarantee whether he had the intention to fight for the position, but he felt that among all his brothers, he was the most unwilling. , and the person most likely to initiate the palace coup is Meng Fan.
After all, compared to Meng Xing's performance, Meng Fan is really outstanding. He is so outstanding that the tradition of establishing a heir and an elder can be avoided by finding an excuse. Only Emperor Jiaping, who has a different mind from others, will pass on the throne. Let Meng wake up.
After Meng Xing read the character introduction, he deliberately waited for a while. Finally, when Meng Fan's waist could no longer hold up during the salute, and his gentle and polite expression was a little broken, Meng Xing spoke: "No courtesy."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Meng Fan followed the etiquette and thanked him. Although his tone was still trying to be calm, Meng Xing could hear a trace of irritation.
Meng Xingxin said that he couldn't pretend anymore, and still had a smile on his face: "Why is the second brother free to enter the palace?"
"The mother and concubine are concerned, and the younger brother specially went to the palace to visit." Meng Fan replied with an indisputable reason.
"Oh." Meng Xing nodded, knowing that he probably wouldn't be able to test anything, so he didn't bother to waste time with the other party, and just said: "Then the second brother will give a good voice to Concubine Rong for me."
Meng Fan agreed, and the two exchanged some hypocritical politeness before parting ways.
After Meng Fan left, Meng Xing looked at his back for a while, and when the other party was completely out of sight, he waved to the little eunuchs following him: "Concubine Rong has been in the palace recently Do something?"
He asked this question inexplicably, the young eunuchs all looked at each other in blank dismay, but they dared not answer, so they tentatively replied: "Concubine Rong lives in seclusion, and makes snacks in the palace when she has nothing to do."
"Concubine Rong still believes in Buddhism and likes to copy Buddhist scriptures."
None of it was useful information. Meng Xing asked in more detail: "Other than that, who does she usually associate with?"
"Concubine Rong and Concubine Li are good friends. They sometimes interact with each other, but others... seem to disappear." The young eunuch said not sure.
"That's right!" The other little eunuch seemed to suddenly think of something: "Your Majesty, Concubine Rong likes Miss Housekeeper very much recently, and invites her into the palace to accompany her from time to time."
"Miss Housekeeper?" Meng Xing repeated: "Miss from Taishi's family?"
The little eunuch nodded, and Meng Xing immediately thought about it in his heart. His second brother, like himself, has not married a wife so far. I don't know if he has filled in the house, but there must be no one in the main palace.
Concubine Rong likes the housekeeper, but she doesn't just like her out of pure love. She most likely has a crush on this daughter-in-law.
This undoubtedly adds strong evidence to Meng Xing's previous suspicions. His second brother really has bad intentions. Otherwise, if he had no intention of fighting for the position, he would definitely not choose a family like Grand Master Guan Yan who has a lot of influence in the court. It's plain to be feared.
So what is Guan Yan’s attitude? If Guan Yan also intends to marry the King of Qi, it means that Guan Yan's ambition to dethrone the King of Qi has not been given up.
No wonder he suddenly did this today, Meng Xing thought to himself. After all, according to Meng Xing's character profile, as much as Guan Yan likes Meng Fan, he hates his stupid self.
When Meng Xing was the crown prince, when meeting this Grand Master Guan, Grand Master Guan would raise his nose and snort twice.Such an attitude would definitely not change suddenly after Meng Xing ascended the throne.
Guan Yan's plan was probably not for the sake of imperial authority, but just to use the name of Emperor Meng Xing to start a war with Wen Rulan. If Meng Xing agreed to the proposal of Guan Yan and others in court today, what would happen to Wen Rulan?
Of course Wen Rulan knew that this was Guan Yan's plan, but it was not convenient for him to directly attack Guan Yan, who still held a lot of real power. However, the little emperor was different. The entire palace was already under his control. He wanted to attack Guan Yan. What the little emperor does is easy.
There is no need to keep a disobedient puppet.
Maybe Wen Rulan won't kill him right away, but Meng Xing will definitely not feel better.
Guan Yan would not have thought of the situation that the emperor might face, but he still made this move because he did not care what happened to Meng Xing who was currently on the throne. It was even better to die, because only by dying could he make room for his favorite King Qi. Only his daughter can become the queen.
Meng Xing suddenly felt that the matter was becoming more urgent. The strength of King Qi and Grand Master Guan Yan after joining forces should not be underestimated. And according to the deceptive nature of the system, the palace change may occur on August 8th, but it may not be life-threatening in the early stage. It is better for him to get some money early and get plug-in cards to defend himself.
Meng Xing didn't delay now, he hurried to the imperial study room, he was so eager that he broke into the palace door without waiting for the eunuch on duty at the entrance of the imperial study room.
Wen Rulan was sitting in front of the desk, writing something with a pen.The sound of Meng Xing entering the door startled him, and he looked up.
The emperor arrived suddenly, as a subject, he should naturally stand up and salute to greet him in fear.But Wen Rulan didn't, because right now the imperial study room was all his people, and without Guan Yan and his gang watching, he didn't bother to make false claims to the little emperor.
He looked away after a glance, and while continuing to write the comment, he made an excuse perfunctorily: "I'm busy with official duties, so I won't be polite."
If this was the little emperor from before, he would have to get angry because of Wen Rulan's presumptuous behavior that didn't take him seriously. Get rid of his puppet.
But Meng Xing was different, he accepted Wen Rulan's attitude well, after all, Wen Rulan was so defiant in the last dream.
Although his status was different now, and he had become an emperor, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with Wen Rulan not saluting him at all, and he even felt a bit familiar and cordial.
Meng Xing walked slowly to the table where Wen Rulan was handling the memorial, while thinking about how to speak in his heart, he watched Wen Rulan write on the memorial with a brush.
Meng Xing had never seen Wen Rulan write in the previous world, so he didn't know what his handwriting was like, but the Wen Rulan in front of him did write well.
Meng Xing, a layman, thinks that the other party's handwriting is very pleasing to the eye, and it is even a kind of enjoyment to watch the other party write.
He looked distracted and forgot to speak.And Wen Rulan didn't ask, or drove away the other party because the little emperor was spying on the contents of the memorial, so Meng Xing stood in front of him and watched.He didn't stop writing until the ink stained on the tip of his pen became weaker and the handwriting began to be unclear.
He held the overly long sleeve with his left hand, and with his right hand, which exposed half of his smooth forearm, he dipped the nib in the ground ink. His movements were unhurried, revealing the elegance of a literati.His tone was also unhurried, even a little casual: "Is your majesty busy?"
Meng Xing was awakened by this question, and finally remembered that he was not here to see Wen Rulan write, but to ask for money.
Unable to delay any longer, Meng Xing was heartbroken.
He put his hands on the table and said seriously to Wen Rulan: "Prime Minister, I want ten thousand taels of silver."
Ten thousand taels is not a small amount, and ordinary people can't spend it all in a lifetime. Although this amount of money is nothing compared to the emperor's usual luxury expenses, it is really disturbing that Meng Xing suddenly wants such a sum of money. Accident.
Wen Rulan raised his eyebrows. While picking up the pen and continuing to write, he asked, "What is it for?"
Meng Xing racked his brains for a long time, and felt that the reason for asking for money must not be too serious, because he is a puppet emperor, if he is doing something that benefits the country and the people, Wen Rulan will definitely not agree.
And if you want money to eat, drink and have fun, Wen Rulan will definitely be happy to see it happen. Didn’t his tool-man father receive strong support from Wen Rulan?
It's just that ordinary eating, drinking, and entertainment don't cost much, which is far from the high price of the system, and it's not realistic if the father of a learning tool person asks for immortality and medicine.
Because Emperor Jiaping was so addicted, all his sons, including Meng Xing, were resistant to these deceitful Taoist priests. He suddenly wanted to seek immortality and medicine, which was really unusual and easily aroused suspicion.
So, what other unscrupulous projects can cost sky-high prices without arousing suspicion?
"I want to photograph the oiran."
This was the answer that Meng Xing finally thought of.
And Wen Rulan's reaction when he heard this answer was that his flowing handwriting suddenly stopped, and the ink smeared on the paper, turning into an ugly blotch.Just like his ugly face at the moment.
At the same time, with a "ding dong" sound, the system issued a familiar prompt: "Congratulations to the player for unlocking the hidden achievement Straight Man's Death Speech."
"Achievement reward: Wen Rulan's rage buff 1. Status effect: Wen Rulan enters a state of rage, and in this state, the player cannot get a penny from the other party. Duration: unknown."
Meng Xing: "???"
The author has something to say: Keke, I decided to hold a renewing event, tentatively adding the nutrient solution every once in a while.
I know it's difficult. After all, I don't really want to add more. I just want to paint a beautiful picture for everyone that "I will add more."
