This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 274 Good stuff

The study suddenly fell silent.

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun paused for a few seconds, then bowed and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "If it's just taking a pulse, I can boldly try, but anything else..."

The Queen narrowed her eyes and said, "What else? You're unwilling to serve me?"

Don't want to!
Of course not!
Massaging shoulders and legs—isn't that something eunuchs or palace maids do?

Luo Zijun inwardly complained, but his face remained extremely respectful, and he said with lowered eyes, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but there are differences between men and women, and between ruler and subject. I... I dare not..."

The queen snorted and said, "I forgive you for your crime!"

Having said that, he flicked his long sleeves, turned around, parted the beaded curtain, and went into the inner room.

Then she lay down on her side on the chaise longue in the inner room.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down from the chaise longue, and her slender, graceful figure stood out against the red robe, outlining a captivating curve.

As the skirt swayed down, a pair of slender feet clad in snow-white stockings were revealed.

"come in."

She lay on her side on the couch, one hand on a pillow, her alluring peach blossom eyes gazing at him seductively through the gently swaying beaded curtain, her tone filled with an unyielding command.

Luo Zijun hesitated, "Your Majesty, I..."

"What, are you going to disobey my orders?"

The queen's expression turned cold, her eyes filled with threat.

As Luo Zijun hesitated, the Queen said coldly, "When the ruler commands a subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. Besides, I'm not asking you to die. You keep saying you're loyal to me, but now I'm just asking you to serve me, and you're unwilling?"

Luo Zijun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I'm unwilling, it's just that..."

"Is Luo Qing concerned about the differences between men and women?"

The Queen snorted coldly and suddenly said, "If that's the case, then if Luo Qing becomes a eunuch, he probably won't care about these things anymore, right?"

As she spoke, she immediately said coldly to the outside, "Qing'er, have the guards come in and take Luo Qing to the castration room in the back to be castrated. I want to take him as my personal eunuch."

"Squeak..."

The door opened, and Qing'er appeared in the doorway.

Luo Zijun's expression changed, and she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I...I will take your pulse and massage your shoulders right away."

As he spoke, he immediately went over, parted the beaded curtain, and entered the inner room.

The Queen's lips twitched before she looked towards the door and said, "You may all step back now. Have the people behind you sharpen the knife and be ready to castrate Luo Qing at any time."

"Yes."

Qing'er's lips twitched slightly before she closed the door.

Luo Zijun cursed inwardly as she approached the chaise longue, knelt on the velvet carpet, and prepared to take her pulse.

The Queen stretched out a hand, her sleeve slipping down to reveal a slender, snow-white wrist. She looked at him and smiled, saying, "Lord Luo, don't be nervous. I was just joking with you. The reason I let you come in to serve me was actually to get closer to you, so that you wouldn't be so hesitant and timid every time I asked you to come and discuss matters, and dare not speak freely."

Luo Zijun extended two fingers and gently placed them on her fair and delicate wrist, then closed her eyes, not daring to look any longer.

The queen lay on her side, her black hair cascading down, her long legs together, her breasts high and firm, her alluring peach blossom eyes gazing at him with a drunken, hazy look.

After a while.

Luo Zijun withdrew her two fingers, bowed her head, and said respectfully, "The Queen is in good health and has no other illnesses."

The Queen stared at his respectfully bowed head, her eyes suddenly flickered, and she parted her red lips slightly, whispering, "But lately, I've been feeling hot and thirsty..."

Luo Zijun was taken aback: "Feeling hot and thirsty?"

"Yes, I feel hot and thirsty..."

As the queen spoke, she said, "Luo Qing, raise your head and let me take a look at your tongue..."

When Luo Zijun looked up, he saw that the Queen had gently opened her red lips, sticking out a piece of her pink tongue, and her watery eyes were looking at him in a drunken haze.

Luo Zijun's lips twitched slightly. After glancing at it, she quickly lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty's tongue coating is normal; there seems to be nothing wrong."

The Queen withdrew her tongue, frowned slightly, and said, "But why do I always feel hot and thirsty, and feel very uncomfortable?"

Luo Zijun pondered for a moment and asked, "When did Your Highness begin to feel this way? Before that, did you eat or take any medicine? What kind of food or medicine did you eat?"

The Queen looked at him with watery eyes and said, "This feeling always comes when I'm lying in bed alone late at night... I don't think it has anything to do with food or medicine."

Luo Zijun was taken aback upon hearing this, but then heard her say, "By the way, I also have some other feelings."

Luo Zijun looked up and said earnestly, "Your Majesty, please speak."

The queen met his gaze with her beautiful eyes, her pearly teeth suddenly biting her red lips lightly, her long legs pressed together and gently rubbing against each other a few times, as she said, "I...I still feel a little uncomfortable..."

As Luo Zijun was wondering, two faint blushes suddenly rose on the Queen's beautiful and delicate cheeks. Her thick, long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she seemed somewhat embarrassed to say, "I...I'm itchy..."

Luo Zijun paused for a few seconds, then quickly bowed respectfully and said, "It may be related to the food, or perhaps Your Majesty's recent busyness with state affairs and mental strain. I will write a prescription and have someone fetch some medicine for you to take for a few days, and you should be fine."

The queen blinked, her eyes fixed on him, and said softly, "But, can Luo Qing's medicine stop the itching?"

Luo Zijun lowered her head and said, "We can have the imperial physician bring over some topical medicine."

The Queen sighed softly, her voice low and melancholic, "Lord Luo still doesn't understand. My itch isn't on the surface of my skin, but rather..."

Luo Zijun bowed his head tightly and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. My medical skills are shallow, and I can only make a general diagnosis. I am truly powerless to treat other diseases."

The Queen stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "It's alright, I can bear it. If I really can't bear it, there are ways to resolve it. Luo Qing, come and massage my shoulders and legs. I'll tell you about the news from the border."

Luo Zijun lowered her head and got up, went to the left side of the chaise lounge, bent down and began to massage her shoulders. Looking down from this height, the high heaving of her chest was even more steep and spectacular, and the exquisite curves of her entire figure were also fully exposed.

Luo Zijun turned her head away and looked elsewhere.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to bear.

"Lord Luo, there is one more thing I haven't told you yet. After our Great Liang secretly signed an alliance with the Wu and Chu kingdoms, the King of Wu even sent his maternal uncle to propose marriage on behalf of his crown prince, hoping to form a marriage alliance with our Great Liang."

The queen lay on her side, twirling a strand of hair on her chest with her slender fingers as she spoke softly.

Luo Zijun asked, "To whom should I propose marriage?"

The Queen snorted coldly and said, "Of course it's me. The King of Wu has a good plan. He wants me to marry his crown prince so that our entire Daliang will become his."

Luo Zijun pondered for a moment, then said, "Actually, Your Majesty could agree to his proposal first. If the two families form a marriage alliance, then the Seven Kingdoms will have no worries about their rear and can focus wholeheartedly on the decisive battle against the Great Yan. At that time..."

"Luo Qing."

The queen suddenly interrupted him, tilted her head up to look at him, and said, "I am now the ruler of the country. If I agree, there is no room for me to go back on my word."

Luo Zijun paused for a moment, and before she could speak, she looked at him again and said, "The Crown Prince of Wu is almost thirty years old, while I am only eighteen. I don't like old men. If I were to get married, I would want to marry a young and handsome man, someone as talented and beautiful as... someone like Luo Qing. That would be the best."

Luo Zijun lowered her head and continued massaging her shoulders, not daring to say anything more.

The queen stared at him for a while longer before patting her thigh and saying, "It's time to pinch here."

Then she moved her feet under her skirt and said, "Give me a foot massage later."

Luo Zijun: "..."

Just then, Qing'er's voice suddenly came from outside: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has arrived."

The queen frowned, her face turning cold.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded outside, followed by a shouting voice: "You dog servant, how dare you block my way! I've come here today to ask her why she's so ruthless, not even sparing my own brothers! If she has the guts, she should just kill me too!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zijun quickly withdrew from the inner room.

"Squeak..."

Just then, the door was pushed open forcefully.

A woman dressed in a purple-gold robe, adorned with gold and silver, stormed in. Upon seeing Luo Zijun, she paused noticeably, then looked at the Queen, who had just risen from the chaise longue in the inner room. She sneered and said sarcastically, "Didn't your servants say you were discussing state affairs here? Where are the ministers? Are you discussing matters with someone like this?"

The Queen gave her a cold look and did not answer. Instead, she looked at Luo Zijun and said, "Luo Qing, you should go back first. If anything happens, I will send someone to inform you."

"Yes, ma'am."

Luo Zijun bowed and withdrew. When she reached the door, she bowed respectfully to the Empress Dowager before her. Before the Empress Dowager could speak, she immediately left the room.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I heard the Empress Dowager's noisy voice coming from inside the house.

Qing'er followed behind him, seeing him all the way out of Yaohua Palace. When they reached the door, she whispered, "Young Master Luo, the matter of the Empress Dowager and the Queen's discord must not be spread."

Luo Zijun said, "I know."

Qing'er glanced at him again before saying, "You've worked hard, young master. You should go back now."

Luo Zijun nodded and got into the carriage at the door.

He thought to himself: Today has indeed been tough, so tough to endure. The Queen is just too...

Ok.

The Queen's sudden outburst left one wondering whether she was deliberately testing his loyalty and character, or...

Fortunately, he remained vigilant and clear-headed throughout.

Of course, even so, he felt hot and thirsty, and it was hard to bear.

He did not return directly to the Bai residence, but instead went to the Chujian Bookstore.

Liu Chujian was wearing a pink dress, standing on tiptoe, arranging books in front of the bookshelf. Her slender and delicate body had a graceful and exquisite figure.

What is convex is convex, what is concave is concave.

As soon as Luo Zijun went upstairs, she rushed over and hugged her from behind, whispering in her ear, "Chujian, I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

Liu Chujian turned her head to look at him, her eyes clear and her appearance charming and lovely.

Luo Zijun was even more eager to give it to her, and pulled her along, saying, "Come on, let's go to the room. I have something to give you."

Liu Chujian chuckled and struggled, saying, "I'm not going."

Luo Zijun immediately embraced her soft, fragrant body and whispered, "Good stuff."

Liu Chujian smiled and said, "If it's really a good thing, Brother Zijun should give it to Sister Su."

Luo Zijun immediately picked her up and carried her to the room, biting her ear and saying, "Good things should naturally be given to you, how can you give them to her? That girl is fierce, always has a cold face, it's annoying to look at, I can't be bothered with her."

To his surprise, as soon as he entered the room, he found a person sitting on the edge of the bed, counting silver coins with his head down.

Su Qingling finished counting the last ingot of silver, then looked up at him expressionlessly and said, "Are you too lazy to talk to me?"

The air suddenly solidified.

Then, she asked casually, "What good things do you have? Let me see them."
