TPITWOHEF 2

Chapter 206

Upon returning to the capital of Jing Country, Xiao Yunzhou dragged the entire court of officials to work overtime for several days to catch up on progress.

As the ministers grew increasingly weary, Xiao Yunzhou became more and more energetic.

"Perhaps because my heart is with the common people, I am a hundred times more invigorated. My dear ministers, you must also stay motivated!" Xiao Yunzhou boasted.

However, he was still a reasonable emperor who understood the importance of health. He hoped that his capable ministers would live long and stay healthy. So after showing off his "iron will" to stay up all night without fatigue, Xiao Yunzhou gave a light cough.

"My dear ministers, please work within your limits. If you feel unwell, tell me, and I'll have the imperial physician examine you."

Xiao Yunzhou looked sympathetically at his ministers, such as the top scholar Zheng Qiru with his obvious dark circles from staying up late, and the elderly cabinet ministers who appeared fatigued.

They weren't like him, after all. He had the little fairy princess using her celestial methods to help him.

Poor things.

"From now on, when the moon rises to the treetops, you can take your work home to complete."

"???"

"..."

The entire court of Jing Country was speechless. The emperor was getting more and more unreasonable!

After the morning court session, Zheng Qiru was summoned alone to the imperial study by Xiao Yunzhou.

"Your Majesty, last night I..." Zheng Qiru began to speak while pulling out a thick stack of rice paper from his sleeve to hand to Wei Zheng in the study.

But before he could continue, Xiao Yunzhou interrupted him, "Top Scholar, is this the masterpiece you mentioned last night that would give voice to all the women in the world?"

Zheng Qiru was stunned, almost forgetting what he was about to say. How did it become something he came up with?

[Oh ho?]

Xiao Chuchu, who was already on the low couch with her swaddling loosened and limbs free to move, immediately turned her delicate little face towards them with interest.

[Sister Ji, Ji Chunyue likes Zheng Qiru because he respects women, right?]

[So "CEO, Have You Apologized Today?" was enlightened by the chosen one, Zheng Qiru?]

Xiao Chuchu couldn't help but want to laugh. This combination was something she never expected.

[Hahaha, the top scholar writing a romance novel?]

Xiao Yunzhou gave a light cough.

Weren't those kinds of works in the celestial realm written by top scholars?

But celestial writings were wisdom beyond mortal comprehension for the mortal world.

Xiao Yunzhou thought that Jing Country should take this celestial masterpiece with the utmost seriousness. It should be written by the most knowledgeable people in Jing Country.

This way, they could best present the beauty of this celestial writing.

With this in mind, Xiao Yunzhou nodded to the confused and honest Zheng Qiru, "I'm very curious about this treasure of a text that the Top Scholar says can change the lives of our citizens."

"If it's useful, I will definitely support the Top Scholar."

Zheng Qiru, with his intelligence of 91, understood in an instant that Xiao Yunzhou didn't want the world to know that it was he, the emperor, who came up with this chase-wife-to-the-crematorium... ahem, this work that would make women of the world stand up.
