401. The Governor: Way of Disaster Relief

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Su Bei coughed and spread his eyebrows, “Then everything will count on you. If this thing works, I guess all the civilians will feel grateful to you.”

Feng Qianjue’s OS was, ‘I don’t need anyone to feel grateful to me. Only you being grateful to me is enough.’

748, “Captivating bar increased by 5%, current progress 81%.”

Because Su Bei took no action, those refugees that had been regressed now started to be shimmering again.

The magistrate was also very anxious, in a roundabout way to ask when Su Bei could distribute the disaster relief materials.

Su Bei only said wait.

Finally, the one Feng Qianjue said arrived, it was a young man, when he saw Su Bei, he seemed to be quite hostile against him.

It was normal, since Su Bei already had his bad name out there. So he didn’t mind at all.

The man reluctantly asked Su Bei, “I heard that you want to open a canal, my lord?”

Su Bei straightened his head, wearing a face that was too evil to be real, “Yeah.”

The man was amazed by his face for a second, then instantly moved his eyes away, “Any specific thinking?”

Su Bei replied, “From that river to this side.”

The man asked, “Then? Do you have any specific plan, my lord?”

Su Bei picked his eyebrow, “if I do, what should I call you here for?”

Hearing that, the man was a bit angry, “How is it that simple to open the canal? A lot of factors have to be considered, while you only said out an idea and job is done?”

Su Bei nodded, “That’s true. So I have to trouble capable people like you.”

The man got choked by his words, his eyes were like saying, never seen anyone so brazen.

Feng Qianyi could not help chuckling, “Yizhi, just do as you what were told. If there is any place you can’t handle, come to me.”

Su Bei was still wearing that lazy appearance, “Just do it. There is nothing your prince can’t handle.”

However unpleased, Yizhi could only take the order.

As Yizhi left and Feng Qianjian turned to look at Su Bei, he had already fallen asleep.

Feng Qianjue sighed, so helpless, bent down to carry him onto the bed.

Su Bei subconsciously rubbed Feng Qianjue’s body, a total dependent feeling.

Feng Qianjue always felt that Su Bei was very smart, he had calculated a lot of things.

Including his heart.

Maybe he had already figured out that he wouldn’t have the heart to kill him.

One of the reasons why one is capable is maybe he can read one’s mind.

And the one who’s being calculated, even if he knows he’s been calculated, he still enjoys it.

748, “Captivating bar increased by 5%, current progress 89%.”

Yizhi was really a talent, only a day and a night’s time, he had made a suitable plan.

After he made the plan, Su Bei finally told those refugees.

The disaster relief money would be paid as the excavation of the canal, so if they wanted to receive the disaster relief money, they had to participate in it.

Disaster relief food would be provided for their meals during the project.

It was no surprise that the refugees would not like it.

For what might have been gained for free must now be put into labor.

In this regard, Su Bei only said, they wouldn’t have to join it if they didn’t want to, but the thing, they would get nothing.

Some refugees wanted to get relief materials for free using the excuse that they had no labor force.

However, Su Bei had already made the plan that those who had no labors had to reclaim the land that had been desolated because of drought.

Old people and children were responsible for making food and other stuff, anyway, no one could eat for free.

402. The Governor: Sound Out

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Because Su Bei took a tough stance, the majority of the people compromised.

And there were not stupid people, if they really successfully opened the canal, they were the ones that benefitted from it.

Who would want to leave their home if they could continue farming and living in their own hometown?

This thing was settled then, and it was under intense operation under Yizhi’s arrangement.

During this period, Yizhi expressed his dissatisfaction with Su Bei a lot of times, in his view, Su Bei was always that heartless governor as people said.

Su Bei was drowsy as always, while Feng Qianjue played chess all day, it seemed that everything was excessively quiet.

At this time, a bird flew in from the window and landed on the edge of Feng Qianjue’s board.

He glanced at the thing bound on the bird’s foot and smiled, as if with mockery.

Only after finishing the chess, he leisurely untied the thing around the bird’s leg, opened it.

Feng Jinghuang already knew that Feng Qianjue came with Su Bei, she questioned him why he had saved Su Bei.

It seemed that someone she arranged had sent the message back.

Feng Qianjue smiled and picked up a pen to reply.

Feng Jinghuang was pacing back and forth in the imperial study. When she heard the news that Feng Qianjue replied her letter, she looked in a transport of delight.

She hurriedly grabbed the letter from the eunuch’s hand, but as she opened it, her face turned green.

She was so mad that she directly tore the letter to pieces, her uncle actually said that her request was just to make Su Bei lose everything but not to kill him definitely.

What familiar words! Didn’t he say the same thing last time?

She also wanted to directly let her imperial uncle kill Su Bei, but at that time, she also had no idea why she found an excuse that even couldn’t be called an excuse, so it ended up in this situation.

But things had been like this, she could only think of a way to save it, her uncle still owed her a request.

She must make the most of it this time, or she would lose the game!

And, not knowing why, when she was in the liquidation of Su Bei’s forces, he stayed indifferent.

This did not make Feng Jinghuang happy or what, but on the contrary, made her worry that if Su Bei had some backup plan.

Things on Su Bei’s side went on very well, but the news he received every day was Feng Jinghuan rooted out his forces in some place.

He felt that Feng Jinghuang was living so tired, every day she was only thinking how to deal with him.

All of a sudden, Feng Qianjue’s voice sounded from behind Su Bei, “you seem not to prepare to deal with it?”

Holding the report from his underling, Su Bei cast a glance at him. How did he know he did nothing?

Feng Qianjue chuckled, “After you go back this time, I’m afraid you will lose your position as the governor of Dongchang.”

Su North rolled a white eye, I am a sound person, why would I want to be that silly governor of Dongchang?

Feng Qianjian looked at the response of Su Bei, and found him so funny, for his expression was much more vivid than he had thought.

748, “Captivating bar increased by 1%, current progress 90%.”

He leaned against a parlor, his eyes unabashedly inquiring, “Governor Su seems not to care about it at all?”

Su Bei asked rhetorically, “But you seem to care about these very much?”

Feng Qianjue smiled fakely, “No, I just care about you.”

Su Bei did not put his words in the heart, as long as the captivating has reached 100%, he is scared.

Who knows what may happen?

Feng Qianjue suddenly approached Su Bei, pinched his chin with his eyes narrowed, “you seem not to believe what I said at all?”

403. The Governor: So Delicious

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Su Bei still stayed poised, “No. I believe every word you said.”

Feng Qianjue smiled, “Little liar, your expression betrays you.”

Su Bei highly doubted if he is such a bad liar?

Feng Qianjue looked at a little distracted Su Bei, could not help wanting to punish him.

Thinking so, Feng Qianjue then pressed over him, and then bit his lips.

Su Bei felt huge pains and gave him a hard stare. Why does this son of a bit*h already do this?

Feng Qianjue’s laugh grew wilder, “Lord Su is really delicious.”

Su Bei clapped off his hand, “Get lost!”

What the hell is delicious? He’s not food.

Feng Qianjue grew more thrilled, he looked at the reddish lips of Su Bei, could not help reaching out his hand to rub it, and then they grew more red, like bleeding.

Su Bei looked at Feng Qianjue who was staring at his lips like a pervert, really wanted to give him a slap, but on a second thought, forget it, there is risk.

After a few days, the canal digging went smoothly, though it was not all done, it was almost there.

So Su Bei intended to return to the capital, but not to waste time here.

As Feng Qianjue heard Su Bei was going back to the capital, he thought this thing wouldn’t go quietly.

“There have been a lot of changes in the court,” he said.

“I know,” replied Su Bei.

Feng Qianjue then said, “All your people got removed.”

This time Su Bei did not speak, he looked at Feng Qianjue, saying grumpily, “Isn’t that exactly what you expected?”

Hearing that, Feng Qianjue smiled. See? Su Bei knew it, but always pretended he didn’t, “I thought you will keep playing dumb.”

Su Bei had a twitch of the corner of his mouth. When have I ever played dumb? I’ve always been honest, OK?

Feng Qianjue looked at the eyes of Su Bei, the expression showed a rare seriousness, “Lord Su, what kind of feelings are you holding against me?”

He thought that Su Bei had always been special to him, but he just had never made it clear.

Su Bei blinked his eyes, slightly pondered for a bit and said, “What feelings…”

He asked 748 for help, “88, what are the feelings that I should hold to captivate him?”

“You want his love,” chimed 748.

Su Bei suddenly felt enlightened, “Seems to be like that.” So Subei said so.

Feng Qianjue froze there, and then smiled, “Love?”

Things like love, he had always held a disdainful feeling about it.

But now there was such a person who said that word to him.

He who condescended to it now became a bit curious about love.

So he said with interest, “Then how are you going to get my love?”

“Or…What can you give?”

Su Bei said blandly, “my life.”

Yes, his love. In every world, as long as heard that his captivating objected said I love you, he’d die.

Feng Qianjue’s pupils slightly contracted, he could not tell what tone he was holding, like a teasing tone or what.

His heart was complicated, and for the first time, a man said he could give his life for him.

748, “Captivating bar increased by 8%, current progress 98%.”

As Su Bei heard the progress, he knew the rest 2% would be something long time later.

And then at the time of his death, it would turn to 100%, “88, I’m applying to live a few more years.”

The mechanical voice said, “Application rejected.”

Su Bei made a long sigh, “As expected, the system is heartless as always.”

404. The Governor: Got Conferred the Title

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Feng Qianjue asked inexplicitly, “Are you really willing to die for me?”

Su Bei gave him a meaningful look, did not speak. Is it the first time I have died for you?

The system really should have given him an award for self-sacrifice, or else he really felt unfair.

Finally Su Bei coughed and said, “If it were you, are you willing to die for someone you love?”

Feng Qianjue said without hesitation, “No, I would rather accompany him to die rather than die for him.”

If even I am dead, what is the meaning of my love?

Su Bei wanted to applaud very much, whichever world it is, the brain circuit of the captivating bar is so unique.

He turned and walked out, “It’s time to go.”

Su Bei slept all the way back, and even if he woke up, he would soon fall asleep again.

By the time he got awake, he had already returned to the capital.

As he just returned to his mansion, someone from the palace came to summon him.

His people had almost been removed, next it would be his turn.

Su Bei made a yawn, “I feel ill, it’s not appropriate to go to the palace now.”

Anyway, it was all about making trouble for him, why not sleep for a days first?

So the one from the palace went back to report, Feng Jinghuang got so mad that he swept all those memorials on the table down to the floor.

How dare Su Bei just ignore her oral order? So outrageous! “Then summon Prince Zhennan!”

As a result, that messenger soon came back and told Feng Jinghuang that Prince Zhennan had gone to the governor’s mansion.

This thoroughly made Feng Jinghuang totally pissed off, she gnashed her teeth, “Prepare the pen and paper for me!”

She wouldn’t allow her imperial uncle to stay so close to Su Bei.

As Feng Qianjue went to Su Bei’s mansion, he heard the situation, only felt that Su Bei was so childish.

When he found Su Bei, Su Bei was sleeping sweet, breathing evenly.

He who meant to wake him up suddenly dropped that idea.

He also took off his boots to lie on the side of Su Bei, took him into his arms, listened to his long breathing sound and closed his eyes.

Turns out, that’s what it feels like to have someone sleeping next to you.

No one knew how long it had passed. Suddenly a rapid knock on the door sounded. Feng Qianjue suddenly opened his eyes, took a look at Su Bei, then got off the bed to answer the door.

The anxious butler asked, “My Lord, is the master awake? Her Majesty has issued an edict.”

Su Bei’s voice came from behind, with some impatience, “Edict, what edict?”

The butler respectfully replied, “I don’t know.”

Feng Qianjue looked back and smiled dotingly, “No more sleep for a while?”

Su Bei stared at him, “Isn’t there an imperial decree to come? I got receive it.”

Feng Qianjue looked at his kind of messy hair, “Are you sure you are going like this?”

Su Bei thought about it for a while, as he was about to clap his hands to call some servant in, Feng Qianjue stopped him, “How about I bound your hair for you?”

Su Bei did not refuse, he was the one to be served anyway, what’s the different? No.

After quite a while, they finally came to the hall.

As the eunuch saw them, he said with high pitched voice, “Prince Zhennan receives the imperial decree!”

Su Bei picked his eyebrow. So why issue the imperial decree for Feng Qianjue here? Come on!

Feng Qianjue was also surprised. Why does he have some kind of bad feeling?

The eunuch was sensible enough to know that neither of the two would really kneel down to receive the decree, so he began to open the decree and read it directly.

Su Bei was dumbfounded, this is the imperial decree…for conferring a title—to confer Feng Qianjue as the empress!

405. The Governor: So Greedy

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Although in accordance with the development of the plot, the last was such an imperial edict, but it was that the male lead and the female lead did it on purpose to piss off those who opposed Feng Jinghuang for conferring Feng Qianjue as the male empress.

And now, what for?

Embarrassed, and then conferred him? Or is there some kind of dirty deal Feng Qianjue made with Feng Jinghuang behind his back?

Thinking so, Su Bei turned to look over at Feng Qianjue.

Feng Qianjue felt helpless, judging from the way he looked at him, apparently he should be thinking of something unreasonable.

As he was about to open his mouth to resist the decree, the eunuch said, “Prince Zhennan, Her Majesty said you can give her the jade pendant back this time.”

Su Bei now understood, this is a forced deal.

However, this eunuch brought the imperial decree without letting him know. As his subordinate, he was so unqualified.

And he, as a qualified courtier, should change a qualified page for Feng Jinghuang.

When Su Bei looked at that eunuch, the eunuch only felt cold on the back.

The eunuch said guiltily, “Prince Zhennan, receive the decree.”

Feng Qianjue stretched out his hand to receive the imperial decree, and then gave Su bei a gentle smile, “wait for me to come back.”

Su Bei perfunctorily nodded, and then made a gesture, and the eunuch who was about to leave got stopped.

He paced before the eunuch, smiling, “Eunuch Zhao, how many years have your served Her Majesty?”

Seeing that Su Bei was being hard on a eunuch, he could only go into the palace alone helplessly.

Eunuch Zhao stammered, “My lord, it’s been ten years.”

Su Bei nodded, no wonder, so he brought Feng Jinghuang up.

He said to Eunuch Zhao earnestly, “It’s been hard for you. So old and still tries your best to serve Her Majesty.”

“It’s my neglection of my job. I should have let you rest long ago. As for the side of Her Majesty, you needn’t worry. I will pick a loyal one.”

Zhao, who was only thirty years old, was stunned. “What do you mean, My Lord?”

Su Bei said meaningfully, “You are so smart, you should know what I mean. Aren’t you satisfied with living a peaceful retired life? How about…”

Before Su Bei finished his words, Zhao hurriedly said, “It’s good to live a peaceful retired life. It’s good.”

If he said no, he’d probably go to the graveyard next.

He was afraid of death. Next Her Majesty could only reply on herself. He could no longer do things for her.

Feng Qianjue had entered the palace, then directly went to the imperial study to look for Feng Jinghuang.

The moment Feng Jinghuang saw Feng Qianjue, she was not surprised, for it was all within her expectations.

She smiled, “Uncle, have you been prepared to be my empress?”

Feng Qianjue’s hand holding the decree slightly raised. With a little strength, it had been smashed into piece by his inner force, “My Majesty, do you really think I can fulfill any of your request?”

Feng Jinghuang clenched her fists but still maintained the smile on her face, “isn’t it?”

Feng Qianjue smiled, his smile made one feel cold on the back, “My Majesty, if one is too greedy, one may lose everything.

Feng Jingxuan’s face changed, “Do you know you are committing high treason?”

Feng Qianjue’s smile stayed unchanged, “that depends on whether Your Majesty wants the whole world or an empress.”

Looking at him, Feng Jinghuang only had on thought in her heart, he is serious this time.

That imperial uncle who was gentle to her when she was little was already gone, replaced by an imperial uncle who was threatening her with the throne.
