Chapter 105 The desire to exterminate nine clans was becoming uncontrollable.
Inside Zhaoyang Palace, Shen Shixi painted her nails and wrote under the lamp.
She compiled a math book for her father, using Arabic numerals such as 012345. Mathematics is the foundation of modern science, and learning mathematics with Arabic numerals makes it easier to find patterns and explore its mysteries.
When Li Yuanke entered, he saw her sitting quietly in front of the lamp.
She wore a pale yellow kimono skirt and a light pink short-sleeved jacket. She wore no makeup or hairpins, and her simple attire still made the room shine.
The people inside the hall bowed, but he waved them away.
He walked over and watched for a while. One, two, three, four, five, etc. correspond to 12345. Using this kind of symbol for calculation, it does look much clearer.
Seeing that the ink was running out, he helped her grind some more.
Shen Shixi glanced at him and smiled sweetly.
Li Yuanke ground the ink, then took a book, lifted her up, and placed her on his lap. He read, and she wrote.
Shen Shixi was propped up quite a bit, but sitting on the hard chair was definitely not as comfortable as sitting on Li Yuanke's lap, so she leaned on the table to write.
After writing for a while, she sensed a change in Li Yuange. She shifted slightly, rubbing against him, and Li Yuange hissed and slapped her, "What are you moving around for?"
"And you? You're blaming me? Who told you to just... for no reason..."
Li Yuanke tossed the book in his hand to her, saying, "Look at this, what are these?"
It was the book she read last time, *The Cave of the Immortals*. It was written in the parallel prose style, which was not only difficult to read but also quite subtle. The flirting at the beginning was obvious, but the most crucial part was when "this humble official" finally managed to win over Shi Niang…
"Hands intertwined, red feet draped under the green quilt. Lips met, one arm supporting the head... precious and precious. In a moment..., they touched several times."
It was all over in just a few words.
Shen Shixi looked down on this book.
[“Several times in succession”, this man is no good. In which storybook is it not supposed to be a three-thousand-round battle, seven times a night, each time lasting no less than half an hour? The writing is so obscure, it's really not worth reading.]
Three thousand rounds? Seven times?
Is he still alive?
Are all storybooks like this misleading and harmful to young people?
Therefore, in that scoundrel's eyes, he is probably an incompetent person!
Li Yuange's heart pounded. He gripped the back of her neck. "Xi'er, hmm?"
Shen Shixi was completely unaware of the danger she was in. She put down her pen and leaned against him. "When writing a story, you can't use parallel prose. It increases the difficulty of reading and naturally reduces the enjoyment of reading. Also, the level of detail must be appropriate. For example, you can write the flirting at the beginning, but don't write too much."
Readers don't have that much patience; everyone reads with the intention of having a light read. Too much buildup will bore them. So, get straight to the point, be detailed, and ideally leave them wanting more. That way, readers will look forward to the next meeting between "this humble official" and Shi Niang...
"Was this what I was discussing with you?"
Shen Shixi pinched him. "So, what does Your Majesty wish to discuss with me?"
[You actually think this much of a lousy book? You're really something! Come to think of it, I shouldn't have written about Sun Wukong; I should have written about "Jia Baoyu and Qin Keqing's Three Thousand Rounds of Battle"—that would have been truly exciting.]
Li Yuanke gritted his teeth. "Does this bastard have anything clean left in his head? Where are Jia Baoyu and Qin Keqing from?"
However, Jia Baoyu is all show and no substance; he probably doesn't have the ability! Think of someone else? Li Kui? A dark-skinned man who ruined Qin Keqing's life. Cao Cao, that scoundrel, was fond of married women, but history doesn't say whether she was capable or not!
The truth is out! That scoundrel met a courtesan named "Qin Keqing" somewhere. What a despicable thing, he's not learning anything good!
He grabbed Shen Shixi's wrist. "Let go!"
No one dares to approach him without his permission, let alone touch his body.
He has always disliked being touched.
Only she was bold, always running wild on him.
Shen Shixi let go, and he picked her up and carried her towards the inner chamber. He hadn't bathed yet, so he carried Shen Shixi directly into the side hall of the hot spring. Shen Shixi held onto the door frame and refused to go in, saying, "I don't want to bathe, I've already bathed."
Li Yuanke was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't force her. "Wash with me! I haven't washed yet."
"You wash it yourself, it's too cold, I don't want to get my hair wet."
Li Yuanke, thinking about the three thousand rounds of battle he would have tonight and try seven times in one night, decided not to waste any more time and compromised, putting her down.
He quickly took a bath and returned to his bedchamber. Shen Shixi curled up in the corner of the bed, wrapped in a quilt, and fell fast asleep. She had actually fallen asleep.
Li Yuanke slapped him across the face. "You bastard, didn't you wait for me?"
Shen Shixi kicked him angrily, "Can't you sleep by yourself? You need me to lull you to sleep and sing you lullabies, why don't you call me 'Mom'?"
Li Yuange was furious, his temper flaring. He pulled her close, encircling her in his arms, and, holding her hand, asked in a hoarse voice, "Don't want to?"
Shen Shixi didn't want to think about it today. "I'm sleepy, I'll think about it tomorrow!"
She couldn't care whether he was in pain or not; if he was in pain, he could go find someone else.
Li Yuanke was furious. "You bastard, how dare you abandon me?"
Shen Shixi got angry and kicked him, "Look at the time! You're not going tomorrow..."
She jumped up in shock. She had kicked his manhood, while Li Yuanke, curled up like a shrimp, hugged himself and glared angrily at her.
Sweat was still dripping from his forehead.
Shen Shixi's foot did indeed touch the ground, though she didn't actually use much force. Li Yuanke reacted quickly and covered her foot in time, but in that situation, it would still hurt no matter what.
Li Yuanke was truly in pain, but he wouldn't be crippled.
Shen Shixi was quite frightened, mainly because it concerned her happiness for the rest of her life!
"Waaah, Li Yuanke, are you alright? Let me see, are you alright?" she cried out. "Imperial physician, summon the imperial physician..."
Li Yuanke quickly covered her mouth, "Shut up! How dare you summon the imperial physician! Aren't you ashamed! You bastard who murdered your husband, I shouldn't have tolerated you!"
Shen Shixi was too lazy to listen to his nonsense. She was getting impatient and pulled his hand down. "Is that so important? What time is it and you still care about losing face?"
She tugged at his pants again, "Let me see, does it hurt? How much does it hurt? Is it broken?"
Li Yuanke glared at her hatefully, asking, "Is that even human language?"
[Oh my god, if this really breaks, how am I going to live the rest of my life? Am I the kind of person who can live like a widow? I'd probably look beautiful even at the sight of roses! Good heavens, what a tragic fate this is!]
Li Yuange covered her with one hand and tugged at his pants with the other, staring at her menacingly.
The thought of exterminating nine generations of his family was impossible to suppress!
Outside the door, Li Fude called out, "Your Majesty, shall we summon the imperial physician?"
"roll!"
"Yes!" Li Fude thought to himself, every time the Emperor came to Zhaoyang Palace, he felt that there was great danger.
Shen Shixi reached out to touch him, but Li Yuanke slapped her hand away, turned over, pulled the blanket over himself, and ignored her.
Seeing his condition, Shen Shixi touched his head and found it covered in sweat, indicating the extent of his pain. She regretted her actions and pleaded, "Li Yuanke, please, please see the imperial physician!"
"I won't watch!"
"How can that possibly work? If it really breaks down, wouldn't I become a sinner against the Great Zhou? Li Yuanke, you just want me dead, don't you?"
[If the best treatment period is missed, it's really hopeless! Oh my god, this bastard's refusal to seek medical help is killing people!]
Li Yuanke turned his head and looked at her with a deep look. "It's ruined, it won't work anymore."
Shen Shixi tugged at his blanket. "Let me see what's wrong, Li Yuanke. You're so annoying! Let's see what the imperial physician thinks. If you don't tell anyone, will he dare to say anything?"
Li Yuanke sat up abruptly. "I, the supreme ruler, have been crippled by my own woman, and you still want me to see the imperial physician? Don't I have any shame?"
Seeing that Shen Shixi was truly anxious and almost in tears, he felt a pang of pity. "Go to sleep. I'm in a lot of pain. Don't disturb me!"
