After their minds were read, the entire court trembled with fear.

Chapter 273 Making a Business Deal (End of Ancient Times)



Chapter 273 Making a Business Deal (End of Ancient Times)

[Aaaaaaah, host, I finally know what a bug is!!!]

Holy crap, we've been running around naked the whole time!

[Help! Someone please save me, the cutest system in the world!]

[So the professor knew all along! No wonder he always had that enigmatic smile when he saw me. Waaaaaah!]

No wonder the professor doesn't call me "250" anymore, he calls me "250" instead. I really am a 250!

Before Shen Zhiyi fainted, her mind was filled with thoughts of the system finally admitting that he was an idiot, and she was very relieved.

*

Upon seeing Shen Zhiyi fall into the water.

Anqi immediately jumped in.

When Shen Zhiyi was pulled out of the water, she was sleeping peacefully.

"Shen Lang?"

"Shen Lang!"

Anqi kept performing artificial respiration, but it had no effect.

"How could this be?"

The entire process from when Shen Zhiyi fell into the water to when she was rescued was not very long. Logically speaking, Shen Zhiyi should not even have fainted.

But this is the result we are facing now.

Anqi quickly carried the person on his back and ran towards the palace.

"Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Chen Decai immediately informed the old emperor of the news that the Dragon Scale Guard had passed on to him.

The old emperor's expression changed.

"Summon the imperial physician immediately."

The old emperor's emotional outbursts were mostly due to Shen Zhiyi.

"Your Majesty, could it be Shen Lang?"

The old emperor's expression was grave: "He's fainted."

"what?"

The entire court exclaimed, "Who did this?!"

They're incredibly bold to lay a hand on Shen Zhiyi; they're practically courting death.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and the Minister of Justice stepped forward simultaneously: "Your Majesty, we will investigate immediately!"

The unconscious Shen Zhiyi was taken to the old emperor's side hall.

After taking the pulse, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy suspected he had made a mistake.

"What's going on? Can you stop stammering?"

The old emperor grew impatient.

The head of the Imperial Medical Academy took a deep breath, turned around, and found countless eyes staring at him.

"Uh, Your Majesty, Shen Lang's pulse is very, very stable."

It's not just stable, it's incredibly healthy.

"If there's nothing wrong, then why didn't he wake up?"

Faced with the old emperor's questioning, the head of the Imperial Medical Academy tried to say, "Perhaps he's been too tired lately and needs to catch up on his sleep?"

The old emperor believed it for the time being.

After Shen Zhiyi slept for three days.

The old emperor didn't believe him at all.

"Let me see what exactly is going on."

The head of the Imperial Medical Academy took a look.

A healthy, very healthy pulse.

"Your Majesty, this old minister does not know either."

He closed his eyes and tears streamed down his face.

"Your Majesty, this old minister's medical skills are inadequate. Please punish me."

"roll!"

The head of the Imperial Medical Academy quickly left.

The old emperor frowned and paced back and forth.

Chen Decai and Zhang Sheren, seeing this, also wanted to pace back and forth.

Finally, Chen Decai mustered his courage and said, "Your Majesty, do you think it's possible that Shen Lang has returned to heaven?"

The old emperor stopped in his tracks.

After a long while, he sat back down in his chair and sighed, "Yes, she was never meant to be from this world. People from heaven have to go back to heaven sooner or later."

However, they didn't have a proper farewell.

Regret lingered in everyone's hearts.

A few days later.

The reason why Shen Zhiyi fell into the water has been thoroughly investigated.

Grand Master Lu and his mother were brought before the old emperor.

The two of them dared not even breathe.

"Did you put the oil and soybeans on the road?"

Without hesitation, Dr. Lu pushed his elderly mother out.

"Her! It's all her."

"Your Majesty, I know nothing about this. Shen Lang is so important that even if I had a hundred lives, I would not dare to lay a hand on him."

As he spoke, Doctor Lu kowtowed vigorously.

Now, Vice Minister Chen of the Ministry of Rites no longer had any interest in comparing who could kowtow more forcefully.

A whole week has passed, and Shen Zhiyi still hasn't woken up.

Dr. Lu's mother originally wanted to take all the blame upon herself, but who would have thought that her son would sell her off so decisively.

She said irritably, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have such a distinguished status now."

“Your Majesty, it was Shen Lang who told me about his whereabouts.”

"What do you mean I told you, Mother? If you've done something wrong, just admit it. Why do you have to drag your son down with you?"

After saying that, Doctor Lu winked at his mother.

"Humph."

The old emperor gave a cold snort, instantly extinguishing the argument between the two men who were debating who was guilty.

"You two don't need to argue anymore. You can argue properly when you get down there."

Neither of them lived to see autumn before their heads were moved.

For a moment, the atmosphere among all the civil and military officials was extremely heavy.

The absence of the chattering voices in their heads during court sessions made everyone feel a little uneasy.

After the court session, the old emperor habitually went to check on Shen Zhiyi.

"Shen Zhiyi, I have a secret you probably don't know about."

"That prince from the previous dynasty didn't die at all, didn't you expect that?"

"What you might not expect is that Yan Chen is actually the prince from the previous dynasty."

"Are you shocked?"

This matter was traced back to the day after Shen Zhiyi fell into a coma.

The newly appointed Minister of Personnel suddenly came to see the old emperor late at night.

He directly and clearly stated his identity.

The old emperor was given two choices: kill him, or let him leave Daye later.

He immediately delivered a heavy punch to the old emperor.

"However, I didn't kill him, which is really not in line with my style."

The old emperor sighed deeply.

"Actually, I have regarded both you and Yanchen as my own children."

"Wait, what did you say? The newly appointed Minister of Personnel is a prince from the previous dynasty???"

Shocked voices reached the old emperor's ears.

The old emperor looked down, and Shen Zhiyi's eyes widened. She asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, what about that prince from the previous dynasty that you killed before?"

"If I had known that talking about melons would wake you up, I would have had people talk to you about it every day."

"That's not important. What's important is, what's the situation with that former dynasty prince?"

The old emperor slowly raised the corners of his mouth, looking at Shen Zhiyi as he said, "I had someone dig up the tomb of the former dynasty's prince, and it's empty."

"empty?"

Shen Zhiyi seemed to be thinking about something.

The old emperor asked, "Is there something wrong with your health? Why did you sleep for a whole week?"

Shen Zhiyi: "Damn it, the professor that the idiot system talked about actually didn't lie to me. He really is a stingy guy."

"What?"

Shen Zhiyi looked up at the old emperor, her bright eyes filled with a smile.

"Your Majesty, oh no, Your Majesty, I've come to do you a business deal."

"Business?"

“That’s right.” Shen Zhiyi nodded: “Business, cough cough, let me introduce myself first. I come from a world where resources are beginning to run out, while your world is rich in resources.”

"As for the details, you can discuss them with your dear Yanchen."

She doesn't understand these things.

Old Emperor: ? ? ?

“You probably think I’m crazy, but actually I went back to the hospital after being in a coma for a week. Well, it’s complicated.”

"You don't need to say anything. I know you're not from this world."

Shen Zhiyi: ? ? ?
