I'm not a fortune teller.

Chapter 80 Is there anything better?

I remember that Cui Ergou was very conservative when he was a child. Does he dare to be so arrogant after becoming beautiful?
It’s true that beauty gives people confidence!

Zhang Rui cursed inwardly and followed carefully behind. Seeing the other party walk all the way into the imperial study, his heart went cold.

The eunuch beside the Empress did not enter the Imperial Study to see the Emperor, and according to the traces left by Murong Yunji, he was also here. Therefore, there is a guess that after bidding farewell to His Majesty, he should have been in the Imperial Study, and the place where he was trapped should also be the Imperial Study!
The worst case scenario is that the queen is dating her lover here and the emperor should be watching somewhere.

shit
What kind of horse-headed man plot is this?

Zhang Rui felt like the sky was falling. This deal was going to defraud him to death. He was just cheating, was it that serious?

As a time traveler, let alone dominating the world and having beautiful women and kingdoms, just seeking to become a Jinshi or a stable minor official can be so difficult?

Honestly speaking, if there hadn't been so many messed up things, it would have been nice to be a small county magistrate in the north. Now, there are big pits waiting for me one after another.
"Master Zhang, shall we go in?" Miss Shen asked cautiously.

Zhang Rui glanced at the other party. The guy who trapped the emperor was most likely here, and the surrounding area might not be safe. Although the little girl was a little talkative, since he had brought her out, he would not be able to bear it if something happened to her in the end.

Thinking of this, he took the other person's hand and whispered, "Follow me, don't make any sound."

Miss Shen's hand shrank subconsciously, but she did not struggle after being held tightly by the other party. After looking at the other party cautiously, she said softly, and this time she followed obediently behind.

Zhang Rui's eyes changed, and his fish eyes were activated again. After being recognized by Madam Long and the princess last time, he did not dare to be careless about his current appearance, and almost completely activated his biggest strategy.

With the help of Fish Eyes, the two of them passed by the two palace maids who were playing with them like ghosts, but the two of them did not react at all and continued to play with the prince, which made Miss Shen exclaim in her heart.

My brother and dad are right. Lord Zhang is indeed extraordinary. He actually has this ability. Not only can he be ignored by people around him, but he can also become invisible. It is really magical. I have never heard of any sorcerer with such ability.

The two of them jumped over the two palace maids and the prince. The prince who was playing seemed to sense something and looked in the direction of Zhang Rui. Zhang Rui paused for an inexplicable moment, but did not look back in the end. For some reason, he was a little afraid to look at the little guy.
After walking for a while, they saw the old eunuch who led the way and a nanny guarding outside, but Cui Yan was nowhere to be seen. Zhang Rui frowned and did not choose to go in for the time being. Instead, he pulled the girl from the Shen family to a corner outside and watched.

"Mammy, what do you think the Queen thinks?"

"Shut up!" The nanny whispered, "It's not for us servants to guess what the queen is thinking. All you have to do is listen to the queen's instructions!"

"Yes," Eunuch Yuan replied with his head down.

Back then, he risked his life to deliver the letter and was appreciated by the Queen. He had gained his current status at the risk of his life. Otherwise, with so many eunuchs with high experience in the palace, including some who were first-rank military eunuchs, how could he have the chance to become the Queen's personal eunuch?

"Come in!"

Suddenly, the Queen's voice was heard from inside. The voice was cold and did not show any joy from before. The eunuchs and the maids looked at each other. Could it be that the scholar surnamed Cui was ungrateful?

But he compromised back then, why is he rebelling now?

The two walked in with confusion, and Zhang Rui hurriedly pulled the little girl to follow.

The girl from the Shen family opened her eyes wide at this moment, her eyes filled with excitement.

She was a gossipy person, but she didn't expect to get into such a big gossip!

At the prince's birthday party, the current queen secretly met with a man from another family.
This gossip is a bit deadly, but it’s so exciting!!!

"Are you sure he is Cui Yan?" The queen's voice was cold.

The eunuch shuddered, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, please calm down, he...he is indeed Cui Yan!"

During the selection of the third place in the imperial examination, a country boy suddenly appeared and overwhelmed the crowd, becoming a gossip that was talked about in the capital. The eldest princess secretly saw Cui Yan and fell in love with him, and was determined to marry this man who had no foundation at all.

Including Princess Jialin, who also had a secret crush on him. Many people in the capital were attracted by Cui Yan's appearance, but they did not dare to compete with the princess for the bride.

The eunuch talked about this matter in order to amuse the queen. The queen became interested and asked to see with her own eyes what kind of man her daughter fell in love with and that made her so distressed and insisted on marrying him.

The emperor was furious and placed his beloved daughter under house arrest for several days. The queen thought that since she had nothing to do, she might as well take a look at what kind of beauty this was and bring her to the palace to play with her, thus helping her husband solve this trouble.

But no one expected that Cui Yan would go into the palace and actually have sex with the queen.

This almost scared Eunuch Yuan to death, but now that things had come to this, he had no room for regret. Once this matter was exposed, he would definitely be killed in order to cover up the royal scandal!

So he just went all the way and acted as the messenger between the Empress and Cui Yan.

"He is not Cui Yan!" the queen said with certainty. "How is it possible?" Eunuch Yuan was stunned for a moment. This Cui Yan was seen by all the civil and military officials in the court. How could he be wrong? Moreover, there was no one else in the world who could match his beauty!
"How many people did you bring into the palace back then?" The queen stared at the other person.

"There was only one person," Eunuch Yuan said cautiously, "I brought Cui Yan here on the pretext of the Qionglin Banquet, there was no one else."

"I'll ask you again!" The Queen looked at Eunuch Yuan and said coldly, "Who else is it? If you tell another lie, I know the location of your family members before you were castrated."

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Yuan knelt down quickly.

When there was a famine, he chose to enter the palace without any castration in order to prevent his two younger sisters from being sold like his elder sister, and for the sake of his younger brother. Now, thanks to his connections in the palace, his family has become much better off. His family has now established a firm foothold in the capital, his two younger sisters have married well, and his younger brother has even adopted one of his sons into his own lineage. He is counting on the youngest son to take care of him in his old age. If he is implicated, he is afraid that not even a single child will be left.

"Say!"

Zhang Rui was also stunned when he heard the voice from a distance. It wasn't Cui Yan? There was another person.
Miss Shen was also curious. She had heard of Cui Yan's reputation in the past. It was said that her father was afraid that she would be obsessed with him, so he would not let her go out to see him. Now, he was indeed handsome from a distance. No wonder the county lady and the princess came to marry him.

I thought that if the Queen had some evil intentions, although it was a bit immoral, it seemed reasonable. But it seems that it was not Lord Cui.

If it weren't for Lord Cui's stunning appearance, who else could make someone of the Queen's status take the risk?

"Back then," the eunuch buried his head in the ground and trembled, "When I called Cui Yan quietly, I didn't notice that there was someone following me. He was drunk and I don't know what he was thinking. He actually changed into women's clothes and followed Cui Yan. I led the way and no one stopped him. I didn't find him until we reached the harem. He was drunk at the time. I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I hid him in the harem."

"What happened next?" the Queen asked with a cold look.

"Later, after I sent Cui Yan there, I went back to look for him, but I couldn't find him."

Cui Yan reacted immediately and said that when Eunuch Yuan sent him to Qianning Palace, he was so scared that he sat outside and didn't dare to go in. When he woke up the next day, he was still in the same position. When Eunuch Yuan came to take him away, he was not fully awake yet. How could he have done such a thing?

"Who is it?" the queen asked hurriedly.

"Yes, Lord Zhang!" Eunuch Yuan said in a low voice.

Cui Yan's pupils shrank and he took a breath. Damn, it's really a big dog?

Zhang Rui's whole body was tense, while Miss Shen next to him covered her mouth and looked at Zhang Rui in disbelief.

"Which Lord Zhang?"

"That's right. It's the one who saved the prince."

"Him?" The Queen was stunned. "Didn't you say that Mr. Zhang was plain-looking?"

The eunuch was also puzzled: "Indeed, her appearance is ordinary, just... just a little better looking than me."

These last words were somewhat against his will. In fact, he felt that Zhang was just as good-looking as him.

"No." The queen shook her head: "That man's appearance is definitely not inferior to Cui Yan, and he may even be better!"

"Uh" Eunuch Yuan was stunned: "How is this possible?"

In his entire life, he had never seen a man more handsome than Cui Yan. If there had been such a man following him at the beginning, he would definitely have been able to recognize him.

"Do you know who it is?" The queen looked at Cui Yan again.

"I don't know!" Cui Yan quickly lowered his head.

Someone prettier than me?
Is there such a person?
Cui Yan was absolutely confident in his appearance, apart from anything else. Ever since he had a drink with Da Gou that night, he had never seen anyone, male or female, who was better looking than himself.

"Really?" The Queen said coldly, "Then there is no need for you to live. Take you out and bury you!"

"Empress?" Cui Yan was startled. The nanny next to him looked cold and grabbed Cui Yan's neck.

"What a pity for her appearance," the nanny sighed and was about to take action.

"stop!!"
