After having sex with a fake eunuch, I became the queen

Next to a secluded manure stable in the Horticulture Bureau, Ji Wei and Lu Yi were talking in very low voices. As they talked, they covered their noses with their hands, because the manure stable was filled with the stench of manure. Therefore, only people who were working would come here, and people with nothing to do would not come here to be fumed. Even if they were passing by, they would basically take a detour to avoid being fumed. Therefore, this place became the best place for the two to meet and talk.

Lu Yi: "My Lord, there is news from Ximen that the Ministry of Punishment has closed the case and the woman named Qiao Wan'er will be executed in three days."

Ji Wei seemed to be relieved: "The case is closed? It's closed so quickly? Does that mean he's sentenced to beheading? And he's going to be beheaded so soon?"

Lu Yi: "Yes, because she was caught on the spot, she confessed that she was the one who killed him. She was convicted without any trial. Because the autumnal equinox happened to be three days later, they set the date for her execution."

Ji Wei: "Well, beheading is a light sentence for committing a crime of treason and killing the chief eunuch."

Lu Yi: "It is said that it was the instruction of the executive officer. He wanted to punish Xu Shixin for such evil deeds, but he was later saved by the old woman. Now that something like this has happened again, he was given a light sentence."

"Ending her with a single knife is better than caning or beating her with a board. It'll be better if she dies quickly." Ji Ying seemed to be relieved, but then his worry returned to his face, with a hint of doubt, "The case is really closed so quickly? It's a bit unexpected!"

Seeing his expression, Lu Yi seemed to guess what he was thinking, so he comforted him, "My lord, are you worried that Qiao Wan'er will give you away? You taught her how to kill people with scissors, and she can't wait to thank you! How could she put you in danger? Besides, in the eyes of that woman, you are her sweetheart... like what? That's right, like her own flesh and blood, how could she be willing to cut off her own flesh and blood? She must keep you tightly covered. Don't worry!"

I don’t know whether he disagreed with Lu Yi’s comparison or felt it was a little inappropriate... He always felt it was a bit corny. Ji Ying didn’t reply, but just looked at him with an unclear look, but the expression on his face was still tense.

By this time the two of them were talking, they had long forgotten to cover their noses, and the stench of manure seemed to be of no concern to them. It was true that "if you stay in a room full of abalone for a long time, you will no longer smell the stench."

"My lord, your lover... no... Fuzhi's lover is really amazing. She killed that old bastard, which really made people happy. The servants in the palace even call her a heroine!" Lu Yi looked at Ji Yin, who still had a look of worry on his face, so he tried to change the subject.

Ji Wei's expression did relax a little after hearing this. He raised one eyebrow slightly, and his expression seemed to disagree: "Hero? You call this a hero? It's just bravery without strategy, risking your life."

"But I think that a woman who has lived in the palace for such a long time and has been a slave ordered around since childhood, can do such a thing that goes against the will of heaven. She is at least a bit as heroic as Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin!" Lu Yi seemed to disagree with his lord.

"Oh, that's true. At least compared to Jing Ke, this woman has achieved her goal." Ji Yin felt that Qiao Wan'er had become a great hero in Lu Yi's mind, so he no longer "disappointed with the truth" and agreed to his words casually.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yi couldn't help talking about this heroine: "My lord, I think this Qiao Wan'er is not only very courageous, but also very perceptive!"

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Ji Ying had no choice but to accompany him, still with an expression of disapproval.

Lu Yi: "Although His Highness taught her how to use scissors to stab people's vital points in advance, it is just theory after all. She has never practiced with real swords and guns, but she can kill people with just one pair of scissors! If she is not very intelligent, how can she do it?"

Ji Wei: "Who told you that he was stabbed to death by a pair of scissors?"

Lu Yi: "That's what everyone in the palace is saying."

Ji Wei: "It wasn't one cut with the scissors, but two. The first cut didn't hit the vital part, but only pierced Xu Shixin's shoulder. The second cut pierced the large artery in his neck, causing him to bleed to death." Lu Yi: "Oh, then the version your Highness heard is closer to the truth. I was saying, how could a weak woman who couldn't even tie a chicken kill an old man with great skills with just one cut? The so-called fatal cut must have been exaggerated by those who spread the rumor."

Ji Wei: "Well, it would be good if the story could be spread in a more miraculous way, leaving a good name for eternity."

Lu Yi: "But, then again, even if she wasn't killed by a pair of scissors, I think this woman is still incredible. I heard that old guy Xu Shixin is not just a show-off. Even though he is old, he still has some skills. It is really not easy for a weak woman to kill him with just a pair of scissors."

Ji Wei: "A weak woman defeated a skilled man? Lu Yi, don't you think this is strange?"

Lu Yi: "Well, I think, in addition to your good teaching, it may also be because this girl has a very high level of understanding."

"Extremely high comprehension? You said she has extremely high comprehension?" Ji Yin put on that disapproving expression again.

But Lu Yi did not understand that expression, because his mind was filled with the word "heroine": "Yes, this woman must have some acquired comprehension, which means that she has a high comprehension in practicing martial arts. If she didn't have a high comprehension, how could she accomplish this by herself? What a pity, what a pity!"

Ji Yin: "What a pity?"

Lu Yi: "If this girl can learn from a great master and practice diligently, she may become a top expert in the martial arts world in the future. It's such a pity!"

Ji Wei looked at Lu Yi's face full of regret, and raised one corner of his mouth with a teasing smile: "Lu Yi, I think your ability to solve cases is almost catching up with those useless people in the Ministry of Punishment."

Lu Yi was a little stunned by such a "compliment". He quickly put away all the sympathy in his mind and asked in a weak voice: "Why...why did the lord say that? Is there any other clue hidden in this case?"

Ji Wei's raised mouth showed no sign of falling back: "Also, why do you think that Xu Shixin was not stabbed to death because I heard it from others? Why couldn't I have seen it with my own eyes?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yi was immediately surprised: "What? Lord, did you see it? Did you think there was something fishy about this case and sneaked into the morgue to check the body?"

Ji Yin didn't say anything, but the corners of his mouth were almost curled up to the sky, and the word "waste" was almost written on his face.

In desperation, Lu Yi had to rack his brains to find clues in that "meaningful" "expression". After a while, the confused man finally realized it in a hurry: "Why... Lord... you... didn't sneak in... but were just..."

Before Lu Yi could finish his stumbling words, Ji Wei interrupted him: "What do you mean by high comprehension? A top expert? To tell you the truth, this woman has a very poor comprehension and no concentration at all! I taught her no less than ten times how to kill with one blow. But she panicked at the critical moment and didn't hit the vital point with her blow. Instead, she was almost killed by that old man! I had to go up and stab her with one more blow!"
