Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 174 No profit, no early start

Zhuo Taoer's gaze fell on the Bodhisattva statue not far away.

"Is it fate or sin?"

Zhuo Tao'er waited for Xiao Ling in her palace all day long. Perhaps her sincerity moved God, and she waited for Xiao Ling.

But the other party was doing it for the epidemic.

He looked at Zhuo Tao'er lovingly and immediately held Zhuo Tao'er's little hand tightly.

"Tao'er, I remember you are the Peach Fairy. Do you know any way to cure the plague?"

"Now that I am about to go to war with the Yun Kingdom, such a disaster suddenly occurred among the people. It is really not good for me."

"If I can take this opportunity to win the support of the people, that will be my chance to turn things around. Tao'er, please help me."

That was the love she longed for day and night, but this was not the kind of love she wanted.

Zhuo Tao'er's little face was pale and silent.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Xiao Ling reached out and gently embraced her in his arms, just like he remembered.

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. Tao'er, please forgive me this time and help me again."

The familiar and warm embrace made Zhuo Taoer a little dazed for a moment.

Back then, beside the Yaochi Lake, she was just an ordinary peach fairy. Being timid and fearful, she did not dare to steal the water from the Yaochi Lake.

Chang Lingjun laughed at her for being as timid as a mouse, but he used his dragon tail to splash water and quietly irrigate her.

They often chatted to relieve boredom, and those were the times that Zhuo Taoer missed the most.

Zhuo Taoer raised her hands and hugged him back and spoke softly.

"I will help you, husband."

Unfortunately, Zhuo Taoer was looking down and reminiscing, so she didn't see Xiao Ling's complicated look.

At this moment, she was even still thinking about Xiao Ling.

If it weren't for my interference, Xiao Ling wouldn't be as miserable as he is now.

He should be the king who unifies the world, and after successfully surviving the calamity, he will be the only god in the three realms.

Xianxian underestimated Zhuo Taoer's love brain.

I really didn't expect that Xiao Ling had a new love and ignored Zhuo Taoer for several months.

She was also willing to drag her injured body back to the paradise to find Sui Baizi for him.

Unfortunately, she was destined to return disappointed, because all the ears of wheat in the mountains had been picked by Xianxian and used as medicine.

Because the people of Yun Country were also infected with the disease, this was a despicable move used by Xiao Ling.

As expected, when Zhuo Tao'er arrived at the mountains, she did not see even a single plant with a hundred seeds, only some common herbs that were not needed.

She wandered in the mountains for a day and a night, and her face became increasingly uglier.

"How could it be gone? How could that be? It's clearly growing here."

When she first arrived in the mortal world, she saw a large field of ears of wheat and memorized the exact location.

But now, looking at the bare ground, she even wondered if she had remembered it wrongly.

Sui Bai Zi can only be regarded as an ordinary herb in the fairy world, and it can be regarded as half a fairy herb in the mortal world.

Ordinary people would not think it has any effect when seeing it. Only under special techniques can this spike of seeds produce its own medicinal effect.

At first she was very surprised that there were hundreds of ears of wheat on a big mountain.

Now that there are no ears of wheat, the disease cannot be cured.

Thinking of Xiao Ling's numerous instructions before departure, Zhuo Taoer trembled slightly and felt flustered.

Three days later, Zhuo Tao'er dragged her sick body through the mountains for three whole days, but finally returned to Liang State empty-handed.

When Xiao Ling heard that Zhuo Taoer had returned, he went to her palace with great anticipation.

But when he learned that the other party returned empty-handed and did not find Sui Baizi, he turned around and went to Concubine Wan's palace.

Hearing the footsteps coming and going outside, Zhuo Taoer felt bitterness rising into her mouth, making her cough violently.

When Xianxian received the news from Concubine Wan, she felt that this was the right move.

In the plot, there is no so-called love at first sight between Zhuo Taoer and Xiao Ling.

In order to replace her original body, Zhuo Taoer sacrificed a lot.

Even though there were not only two petals left like now, she still saved Xiao Ling from danger many times despite her injuries.

The Bodhisattva was originally invited to pray for Xiao Ling's safety, but now it has become Zhuo Taoer's own spiritual sustenance.

At this time, Xiao Ling had feelings for Zhuo Taoer, but everything was based on his original self.

Zhuo Taoer, who has not completely replaced her original body, is destined to be the losing side.

Just because of her simple appearance, Zhuo Tao'er became a transparent person in Xiao Ling's harem.

Even though she held the title of imperial concubine, she was confined to her own palace due to injuries.

Xianxian was very satisfied with the result. How could a novel about cultivating immortals be considered as such without a tragic love story?

"You did a great job chasing dreams this time. I will record your great merit. I will have the palace servants deliver the reward to you later."

Today, Wu Zhuimeng is the King of Wu in Yun State, holding military power and the chief military general.

She also kept a lover in her mansion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. This is my duty."

Many civil servants in the court had displeased expressions on their faces when they witnessed Xianxian promoting Wu Zhuimeng.

Many of them were former court officials of the Yun Kingdom.

They are all men, so naturally they have objections to women holding power.

At this time, Xianxian looked at them and said sternly, "From now on, Yunguo will open a girls' school, women will take the imperial examination, women can do business, women can join the army, and women can start their own families if they are capable."

"I have always been fair and just. If a man is incapable, he can choose to marry a woman. The woman is the head of the family. She can be chosen as a wife and raise children without having to work outside."

"Naturally, if a woman is capable, she can marry as many men as she wants, with the master as the husband and the concubines as the men."

The ministers in the court began to whisper to each other, and each of them had an ugly expression on their face.

Some even stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely not allowed. From ancient times to the present, there have never been women serving as officials or participating in politics. Isn't this a disorder of yin and yang?"

"I second the proposal."

"I second the proposal."

"Very good."

Xianxian clapped her hands vigorously with a smile on her face.

"So you think that my ascension to the throne and my unification of the world are also a sign of imbalance between yin and yang? Are you confused?"

The minister who had made the suggestion was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, and now he didn't even dare to raise his head.

They believed that allowing a woman to be king was the greatest concession they had made, so they naturally did not want to allow other women to serve as officials, soldiers, or businessmen.

But what Xianxian wanted was to improve the status of women, so she immediately turned around and gave Wu Zhuimeng an order.

"These people should be dismissed and investigated. This is a rebellion."

It was just a sentence, but it made those ministers terrified and they kowtowed vigorously to admit their mistakes.

Those bloody memories came back to me again.

You have to know that their queen is ruthless to the court officials.

The old dignitaries have been cleansed, and now it is their turn.

Xianxian had a blank expression on her face and her voice was calm.

"You have had such a good life that you have forgotten how I got to where I am today. Today I will give you a good recollection."

Xianxian is not a cruel monarch, and those who are dealt with by her more or less have their own little thoughts.

Or maybe they are not doing something clean behind the scenes.

It's nothing more than finding an excuse to clean up the court so that he can hear less nonsense.
