The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 1092 Am I cruel?
It's not that Li Xiuyi doesn't want to come, it's because he is sick.

Pei Zhan was very busy. He had to take care of both Xiao Yan and Li Xiuyi.

Li Xiuyi drank a bowl of bitter medicine without changing his expression, put down the bowl, picked up the memorial and read it again, with a calm expression that made it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

Pei Zhan opened his mouth.

Li Xiuyi said without raising his eyelids: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Pei Zhan: "Your Majesty, your body is not suitable for physical exertion."

Li Xiuyi sneered: "I know it well."

After reading and approving the memorial, he asked: "What happened to the Imperial Master?"

"Not yet awake."

Li Xiuyi was in a daze for a while and then said: "He is resentful of me, so he refuses to wake up and see me."

Pei Zhan never understood the relationship between them.

Li Xiuyi looked at the medicine bowl on the table: "I have been drinking this medicine since I was a child. When I was a child, the palace people persuaded me that I would be cured after drinking the medicine. However, I have been drinking it for so many years and I still haven't recovered."

He looked at Pei Zhan: "Do you also think I'm cruel?"

Pei Zhan didn't know what to say, but Li Xiuyi didn't seem to care what he said.

"I don't know how long I can live, and I don't enjoy much. Beauty, power, glory and wealth, these things mean nothing to me.

I don’t care, and I’m not coveting it, I just…”

He looked up at Pei Zhan: "I just want to see a country with clear seas and rivers, and I want the people of Chu to live and work in peace and contentment."

He said too many words at once and coughed violently several times.

"I don't want to keep you by force. I have too many wishes that have not been realized. I am holding on for a breath and living like this. I just want to watch this country get better little by little. There are still too many things that have not been done. I don't want to and can't Just die."

"His Majesty…"

Li Xiuyi sneered: "They say I'm vicious, am I vicious? Do you know that although Chu State doesn't have much arable land, it's enough for the people to live on, but why are there so many people who don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes to wear?" "Because of worshiping the moon? The religion occupies [-]% of the fertile land in Chu State. They are greedy and oppress the people. They use their so-called teachings to seize women and coax the people into paying for food and offerings. They are all fat and oily, but the people are hungry and cold. You are forced to save food from your mouth to worship the clay statue."

Li Xiuyi asked: "Pei Zhan, do you think this is normal?"

Of course not.

Dashun also has religion, and Buddhism occupies too much fertile land. Later, a certain emperor of Dashun put pressure on him and took back a lot from Buddhism. The national treasury was therefore full, but the situation in Chu State was worse than Dashun. More serious.

Li Xiuyi closed his eyes and said, "I can't die or fall down, otherwise everything I do will be in vain."

He paused and then said: "Also, Xiao Yan can't die. Once he dies, the Moon Worshiping Sect's counterattack will become more serious, and the Chu Kingdom will be in chaos. This is something I don't want to see. Do you understand? ?”

Pei Zhan nodded: "Understood."

"Go." Li Xiuyi was obviously tired and planned to take a nap.

It was very hot in his room. Pei Zhan was sweating all over. When he went out, he was blown by the cold wind and sneezed.

The steward's father-in-law ran over and handed him a piece of clothing.

"Mr. Pei, you have to take care of yourself. We cannot live without you in this palace."

Pei Zhan looked at the father-in-law: "What did you say?"

The servant said: "Young master, you must take care of yourself."

"Next sentence!"

"The palace cannot live without you." The steward's father-in-law looked confused, wondering if he had said something wrong.

"Can't live without me!"

Pei Zhan repeated it.
