Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Little Taro stopped crying, half believing and half doubting.

"Really?"

Wei Xiang said softly.

"real."

Little Taro slowly lowered her hands and then slowly opened her eyes.

Li Yunsheng stared intently, trying to see what was so shameful about Little Taro's eyes.

When he saw the little taro's eyes clearly, only two words came to his mind—that's it?

Little Taro's eyes are golden pupils, but otherwise they are no different from ordinary people.

Taking a cautious approach, he still asked a question.

"Does her golden eyes possess a special ability?"

Wei Xiang shook her head, while also wondering why he would ask that question.

No.

Seeing that Li Yunsheng looked calm and not afraid at all.

Little Taro wiped away her tears and looked the young man in front of her up and down with some curiosity.

She was illiterate and didn't know those words of praise.

Anyway, when the old lady next door sees him, she'll definitely say: What a handsome young man!

Li Yunsheng squatted down and moved closer.

"Then why are you afraid I'll see?"

He had just thought it was the Eye of Medusa, the eye that could petrify anyone it glared at.

Little Taro widened his eyes, wanting him to see more clearly.

"Aren't you afraid, young master?"

"Golden eyes, what's there to be afraid of?"

The little taro lowered its head.

"But they're all afraid..."

Old Zhang explained from the side.

"The child's parents died early, and the villagers all said that she was cursed to death."

So they drove her out of the village.

I took pity on this girl and took her in to serve her tea and water.

Hearing this, Li Yunsheng finally understood.

To him, those golden eyes were not scary at all; on the contrary, they were quite novel.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is an ominous sign.

Li Yunsheng took out a handkerchief and wiped Little Taro's dirty face.

I think your eyes are especially beautiful.

Staring at each other, Little Taro said with a serious expression.

"Young master, it seems like there are stars in your eyes."

After a cup of tea, Li Yunsheng finally witnessed the power of the Golden Eyes.

He practiced on Liu Quan for several days just to learn the technique of silencing someone.

But this little girl, in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, had already rendered Liu Quan speechless.

A genius, truly a genius!

Liu Quan, who couldn't speak, only looked aggrieved, so I thought it unnecessary for me to come along.

Li Yunsheng sat down and told Old Zhang about the Three Kingdoms, while Wei Xiang taught Little Taro martial arts on the side.

dusk.

On his way home, Li Yunsheng asked the question that had been on his mind.

Why did you decide to take on apprentices?

Little Taro is indeed a martial arts prodigy, but Wei Xiang's sudden decision to take on a disciple still puzzles him.

Wei Xiang clearly has a clear goal.

"Protect your son."

"what?!"

Li Yunsheng wondered if he had misheard, and he looked around.

"What son do I have?"

"It will happen in the future."

Recalling that Wei Xiang was only about the age of a little taro when she first entered the manor, Li Yunsheng roughly understood what she was thinking.

"You want her to be the second Wei Xiang."

"Ok!"

Wei Xiang nodded emphatically. Death squad members need to be trained from a young age, and that's exactly what she did.

Li Yunsheng joked to himself.

"I'm not even married yet, you're thinking too far ahead."

"Then hurry up."

Hey!

Li Yunsheng never expected that he would be pressured to get married after arriving here.

"He should at least find a woman who is a good match for him."

Liu Quan, who was following behind, offered a flattering remark.

"Then I'm afraid we can't find the Prime Minister. There is no woman in the whole world who is worthy of him."

Wei Xiang pondered the question for a moment, then calmly replied.

"The Empress is barely worthy of her."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunsheng and Liu Quan both stood still.

……

From then on, Li Yunsheng became a regular visitor to Old Zhang's place.

Since the Empty City Stratagem, the number of people in Old Zhang's courtyard has been gradually increasing.

Tables were added one after another until there were no more tables available, and those who arrived late had to stand and listen.

As they spent more time together, Li Yunsheng discovered another talent of Xiaoyutou—she had an unforgettable memory.

Little Taro could repeat every single story he had told Old Zhang.

However, no matter what he said, Little Taro never opened his eyes in front of outsiders.

Even though there were more tables, she wasn't familiar with their placement.

Even after being knocked down and falling, he kept his eyes closed, only feeling sorry for the broken teapot.

This day.

Li Yunsheng proposed abolishing the ward and market system during the morning court session, one of his reasons being to promote the economic prosperity of the capital.

The second reason is because of the small taro.

According to the laws of the Great Chu, people are not allowed to do business in the neighborhoods where they live.

Storytelling is out of the question, of course.

More and more people are listening to stories at Old Zhang's place; when there are few people, perhaps no one will notice.

However, when there are too many people, trouble is bound to arise.

Li Yunsheng was thinking about this matter, but he didn't realize that he had already been targeted by the Empress.

Chapter 64 Audacious Scoundrel!

Li Yunsheng walked into the courtyard with ease; there was an empty table there, reserved for him.

As the number of customers increased, Old Zhang's energy and spirit improved significantly.

Storytelling is his lifelong hobby, and if this hobby can be enjoyed by others, that is the happiest thing.

"Let's pick up where we left off!"

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven was thrown into Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace...

Little Taro stood by the empty table, waiting for Li Yunsheng.

Because she always keeps her eyes closed, she has exceptionally good hearing.

Even though Li Yunsheng sat down silently in the noisy environment, it still didn't escape Xiaoyutou's notice.

"Young master, please have some tea."

Little Taro picked up the teapot and skillfully poured him a cup of tea.

Li Yunsheng took her small hand, and the two sat down together on the bench.

"Come on, let's listen to an audiobook together."

At this moment, Old Zhang was speaking—

"Laozi said, 'The time has come; open the furnace.'"
