Transmigrated Empresses (Male and Female)

Chapter 46

"Rushing to be reincarnated!" The oxen follow one another without regret.

"They have no respect for me at all!" I seemed to hear Qianqing smashing things.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

I can't see you kneeling.

The next day, we gathered in the Imperial Study to await the verdict. I looked at Wu Hui triumphantly and thought, "You're definitely going to die. All my wisdom over a thousand years can't outwit this stupid ox."

We stood in a row, and even Chou Qian, who had nothing better to do, came to join in the fun. I despised him; he's so ugly and yet he likes to gossip—I can't stand people like that.

Qianqing held our confessions in her hands, pointed at me, and said, "Minister Shen, you are truly insightful and have a good attitude in admitting your guilt!"

"You flatter me." I've always been number one in essay writing since I was a child.

"Why did you include your own sons and daughters in there! Why didn't you include your grandson too!" Qian Qing threw the masterpiece at me with a gloomy expression.

I casually accepted the answer and said, "I was planning to write it, but I don't know how many women they'll marry or how many men they'll support. It's hard to say." Seriously, otherwise I would have written it.

"No regrets is more sincere than you. You just wait and see." The person's expression was not good.

I'll wait, I'm not afraid of you.

Qianqing handed the project proposal to Chouqian and said, "Nian Nian!"

"Yes." Chouqian took the document, glanced at me, and said in his usual tone, "I believe that plans are based on changes. For example, my plan must be based on the premise that I get promoted. Only if I... cough cough! Please forgive me for the original wording."

Wu Hui, her face dark, was about to come and beat me up. I ran behind Zi Mo. Couldn't the plan use various words to represent me?! Tch.

Looking at the three men with their abnormally dark faces, Chou Qian continued, "If so-and-so is promoted, then so-and-so will have a plan. For example, if so-and-so is promoted to Minister of Personnel, then so-and-so will lead the people of the country to abide by the law, strictly control the promotion system for officials, implement an elimination system in the Ministry of Personnel, and formulate civil law, official law, land law, new tax law, and so on... Your Majesty understands the original text."

This time, Zi Mo also wanted to beat me up. I hid behind Chou Qian.

"Would you like to know the contents of the relevant laws? Please help me get promoted. If so-and-so is promoted to Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, then so-and-so will lead the Six Ministries and take our country's infrastructure construction to a new level, so that the Qing Dynasty will not be able to... When you go out, if... may I skip this sentence?"

"Read it!" Qianqing was determined.

"Like a crab crossing six kingdoms, marrying whomever he wants, whoring whomever he pleases, even if he really takes a fancy to... Your Majesty!—Please spare Lord Shen!" Chou Qian stopped reading, and for the first time, he knelt before Qian Qing. I looked at him blankly, "It's nothing! What are you afraid of? I'm fighting for your rights."

Upon seeing this, Wu Hui Zi Mo, whose knees were worthless, knelt down. If they were worthless, so be it; I'll kneel down too.

"Read it aloud, and I'll show you today whether my decision to give him eighty strokes of the cane was out of resentment!"

What hit me?! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my ancestors! I didn't do anything!

I didn't care whether Chou Qian read it or not. I knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never dare to do it again! Even if you don't promote me, I will definitely tell you everything written on it. Please, please don't hit me! My skin is so delicate, you can't hit me!" This time I could cry without being pinched. If he hit me, it would be such a serious accident!

"Crying won't help. If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think this is a marketplace!"

No, I'd just treat this like an amusement park. I kowtowed, crying.

Zi Mo said, "I beg Your Majesty..."

"Shut up! Do you expect me to ignore a child too?!" Qianqing practically threw down her cup and stood up. It seemed she was determined to hit me.

Zi Mo said in a deep voice, "I can take the blame for my brother."

Wu Hui, that fool, didn't even care that I cut his clothes and said, "Your Majesty, I..."

"Shut up, you too! It's only because of people like you that such arrogant and corrupt officials can be raised!" I—I—I'm filled with resentment! I am Dou E!

"Since no one has any objections, then someone come here!" Who says no one has any objections? Everyone has objections.

Qianqing shouted loudly, and several burly men came in from outside. I was terrified and regretted not resigning from my post.

"Your Majesty..." Chou Qian was about to speak when Qian Qing, without giving him a chance, retorted, "Whoever pleads, beat the drum according to the word. Drag them out!"

"Don't hit me! Your Majesty, I'll never dare to do it again! Really! Don't hit me!" I'm terrified! Terrified! If you hit me, I'll remember you for life, and I'll make sure your country is destroyed and your family is ruined!

Qian Qing flicked his sleeve: "Since I'm going to hit you, it won't be because of this one thing. Do you really think I'm blind, with all the things you do in court every day!"

Damn it! You scoundrel! If you weren't blind, why didn't you intervene sooner? You're the kind of person who'd wait until it's too late to settle scores!

Wu Hui, Zi Mo, and Chou Qian stared at Qian Qing. I screamed inwardly: "Quickly, plead for me!"

Wu Hui, Zi Mo, and Chou Qian were about to speak when Qian Qing, that worthless wretch, resolutely shouted, "What are you waiting for! Fight! I'll show you that my patience has its limits!"

Damn it, you're really hitting me?! Several guards pressed me to the ground without any mercy. Bah! Can't you see I'm a beauty? Can't you be gentler?

I looked at the guy on my left, hoping he'd be lenient and attack, but I think I misunderstood. He swung the paddle without hesitation. I braced myself to scream.

"Ah—! Ah—!" Why doesn't it hurt?

Thank goodness! Zimo, you're a true brother. You knew I was getting beaten up and came crawling over to me. Hehe, go ahead and hit me.

"Zi Mo! Get out of the way!" Qian Qing was jealous that we were sharing our troubles.

"emperor--"

"Did you ignore what I said?!" Qianqing frowned, her gaze fixed on Qianqing.
