“It’s croton powder.” Shen Yijia looked harmless. When she met Eunuch Wu’s gaze, she explained, “You feel uncomfortable because you ate the noodles my mother cooked. It’ll be fine after you clear it out. Coincidentally, croton has the effect of diarrhea.”

“You!” Eunuch Wu pointed at her, speechless.

Sensing something, his expression changed. He covered his abdomen and ran in the direction Shen Yijia pointed.

Shen Yijia clicked her tongue and muttered to herself, “I told you to go in and squat quickly, but you didn’t listen.”

Xuanyuan Qi couldn’t help but chuckle.

Shen Yijia looked at him strangely.

Ever since he regained control of the government, it had been a long time since anyone dared to stare at him like this. However, this girl had already stared at him twice this hour.

Xuanyuan Qi realized that he did not feel offended at all.

He ignored the strange feeling in his heart and was about to say something.

With a thud, the sound of a gong came from ahead, followed by enthusiastic cheers right on the heels of it.

He asked, “Where is this place?”

Shen Yijia rubbed her chin and said uncertainly, “It should be a poetry club.” She remembered Thirty Thousand mentioning it previously.

She went out the side door and turned left before walking for 500 meters. Because they entered through the back door, it was actually less than 500 meters away.

Xuanyuan Qi’s face darkened. How dare you bring them to “borrow” the toilet when you don’t even know where this place is?

How did this girl survive until now without being beaten to death

Shen Yijia would definitely say, “I relied on my fists!”

However, turneu out tnat sne was ngnt.

Outside the backyard was a two-story pavilion. A stage had been built in the middle of the hall, and an old man with a white beard was standing on it, talking frankly.

Shen Yijia did not understand. She sat down at an empty table in the corner.

Xuanyuan Qi was speechless.

There were people coming and going, and they were all fighting until their faces turned red. No one noticed that two unfamiliar faces had suddenly appeared.

The old man was finally finished. He picked up the hammer and struck the gong and drum again.

The hall instantly fell silent. Two scholarly men walked onto the stage.

They bowed to each other.

Shen Yijia’s eyes lit up. Were they going to fight?

Just as he thought this, he saw the old man take two steps back. He clapped his hands and descended to the second floor.

There were four words written on it, “The Debate of Yu Le.”

Right on the heels of that, the two men started a new round.

“So it’s a debate.” Xuanyuan Qi was a little interested.

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “That’s it?”

Seeing that she was staring at the stage, Xuanyuan Qi asked, “Have you studied?”

Shen Yijia raised her chin proudly, looking at him as if to ask, “Isn’t that obvious?

Xuanyuan Qi thought to himself, “I’m not angry.”

He was the emperor!

He was magnanimous!

He had a big heart!

He continued to ask, “What books have you read?”

“Well…” Shen Yijia thought for a moment. “Two or three things that a rich young lady and a down-and-out scholar have to say.” “The madam is soft and easy to push down.”

“Big Boss’s Little Wife.”

‘”Colorful Affairs at the High Gate.”‘

“The Little Fortunate Wife of the Sick Heir.” She paused and added, “Let me tell you, this is really good.”

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She didn’t notice that Xuanyuan Qi’s expression darkened with every title she mentioned.

“Nonsense. How can a girl read such indecent books? Your father doesn’t know how to control you.” Xuanyuan Qi didn’t even realize it himself. He subconsciously used the tone of an elder lecturing a junior.

Shen Yijia was stunned and looked like she was about to cry.

Her appearance inexplicably reminded Xuanyuan Qi of when he first ascended the throne.

Xuanyuan Ce was bullied by the young masters of those aristocratic families and ran back to the palace to look at him with this expression.

At that time, he really hated his helplessness. He could only watch as his brother grew up being bullied.

He subconsciously softened his tone. “I’m not scolding you. I mean that those books are not suitable for girls to read. You can read something else, such as poetry. ”

The drama queen sniffed and said resentfully, “Do you think I don’t want to?” Xuanyuan Qi was speechless.

“My biological father was a scumbag. He abandoned us when I was still in my mother’s stomach. In order to avoid being hunted down, my mother could only send me away. I was unlucky. After my adoptive mother, who treated me well,

died…”

Shen Yijia spoke sincerely and tried her best to describe the original host’s encounter.

She slept in the woodshed and ate leftovers. At best, they would be punished to kneel, and at worst, she would be beaten up and scolded. In short, she suffered at the hands of the original host’s adoptive family..
