Chapter 507: I Don't Know How to Flirt

"Oh my, Prefect Liu, you've finally returned!"

Just as Liu Zheng returned to Liangzhou Prefecture, Grand Eunuch Zhou, who had been pacing back and forth with an anxious look on his face, couldn't help but walk over.

"What is the matter, Grand Eunuch Zhou? Did you not sleep well?"

Liu Zheng laughed.

In truth, he knew the reason; ever since Grand Eunuch Zhou arrived at Liangzhou Prefecture with the Imperial Edict, Xie Chan had been playing dead. The imperial physicians he brought had also gone in to diagnose Xie Chan, but no matter who it was, they could not find anything wrong.

Her physical condition was stable, yet she simply could not wake up!

Such a situation was, naturally, not uncommon.

Since ancient times, when something went wrong with the head, who could really say for sure?

That was why Grand Eunuch Zhou was worried sick.

How could this be allowed to happen?

Grand Eunuch Zhou let out an "aiyo" and said, "Prefect Liu, this humble servant indeed did not sleep well, but that is not the point; it is the Princess, the Princess!"

Liu Zheng suppressed a laugh and said deliberately, "What is wrong with the Princess? Rest assured, as long as her condition is stable, she will wake up one day."

Grand Eunuch Zhou sighed, took Liu Zheng by the hand, and insisted on pulling him into his guest room before looking at him earnestly: "Prefect Liu, we are no longer strangers; is there anything you are still hiding from this humble servant? Tell me honestly, when will the Princess be able to wake up?"

Liu Zheng felt a jolt in his heart; could it be that Grand Eunuch Zhou had seen through something?

Yet, he still feigned surprise: "Grand Eunuch Zhou, what are you saying? When she wakes up is a question for the physicians; asking me this is truly putting me in a difficult spot..."

Grand Eunuch Zhou scrutinized Liu Zheng carefully and, finding that he did not seem to be lying, sighed again: "This time, the Princess was assassinated, and the Emperor is furious. Prefect Liu knows how much the Emperor values the Princess..."

Liu Zheng hurriedly made a solemn vow: "Grand Eunuch Zhou, rest assured, I will certainly find the best divine physician in the world to come for an expert consultation!"

Grand Eunuch Zhou rolled his eyes.

Consultation my foot!

He only felt that the whole affair was somewhat fishy, but this Prefect Liu was a little fox; he could not see any clues or flaws at all!

Seeing that he had no Method to fish for information, he let his eyes dart around and tapped his fingers lightly on the table: "Prefect Liu, the recent sharp drop in Yinzhou Coin has caused this humble servant quite a loss. Several old friends in Jinghua have entrusted me to ask you, what is the situation with this?"

Here it comes!

Liu Zheng laughed heartily in his heart.

Sure enough.

In the current Longyan Dynasty, Yinzhou Coin had already become a financial product for many, or one could say, a gambling tool! The rise and fall of the price of Yinzhou Coin no longer affected only the people of Yinzhou and Liangzhou!

It even affected some big shots holding large amounts of the currency!

For example, Grand Eunuch Zhou!

This Liangzhou Prefecture had sent Grand Eunuch Zhou quite a lot of Yinzhou Coin back and forth, and with the skyrocketing price of Yinzhou Coin, these coins had become a massive fortune. Seeing his wealth shrink drastically, who would be willing to accept it?

But to dump them at this time, he was unwilling.

Having witnessed the dream of getting rich quick, who would be willing to bite the bullet and cut their losses now?

Liu Zheng chuckled and said, "Grand Eunuch Zhou, this matter is actually not difficult. At the very least, as long as Yintan City does not fall, Yinzhou Coin will not face any major problems..."

"Oh, but the near future, the near future!"

Grand Eunuch Zhou asked anxiously.

Liu Zheng raised an eyebrow and said, "If you want it to stabilize in the near future, I believe some people in the capital must help out a little..."

"Oh?"

Grand Eunuch Zhou said excitedly, "If there is a way, just say it, just say it!"

Liu Zheng leaned his mouth to Grand Eunuch Zhou's ear and whispered a few words.

Grand Eunuch Zhou listened with delight and slapped his thigh.

Brilliant!

Truly brilliant!

Walking out of Grand Eunuch Zhou's room, Liu Zheng saw Jiang Xuan and Wei Tiezhu, leading a bunch of people, standing sneakily at the door of Xie Chan and Feng Sanniang's room.

Waiting to watch the show?

Liu Zheng chuckled, shook his head, and turned back to his own room.

"Hey! Young Master, Young Master!"

"Why aren't you coming over!"

"Oh my, Her Highness the Princess is waiting for you!"

"Exactly, what is this for! Come and confess your love; the gifts are all prepared! Who knows, maybe if you recite a love poem, the Princess will wake up!"

The group jeered and laughed heartily.

Liu Zheng chuckled, ignored them completely, and ducked into his room.

It wasn't that he was aloof...

It was just that when it came to flirting, he didn't know how either!

"What are they making such a fuss about?"

Over at Xie Chan's side.

Feng Sanniang feigned curiosity and asked in Xie Chan's ear.

"Madam..."

Xie Chan's face turned red, and she said coquettishly, "He hasn't even come over, what is there to make a fuss about..."

As she spoke, she could no longer bear the shyness, turned around, and ran back to her bed.

Feng Sanniang laughed heartily; seeing this reaction from Xie Chan, how could she not know what this girl was thinking? This brat, she has been waiting for you for several days, and you actually haven't come over!

Scumbag!

Hmph!

If I weren't unable to go out, I would have gone over there to pull your ears!

Xie Chan was also feeling her heart racing at this moment; why wouldn't he come over? Doesn't he know I'm very bored here? Being locked up like this every day, why don't you try it! But, if he were to come over, what should I say?

Do I dare look at him?

How would he look at me?

Oh my!

What am I thinking about!

Then, listening outside the door, it became quiet again.

Xie Chan poked her head out from under the quilt again and pricked up her ears.

Is there no one left?

Is he really not coming?

Bastard!

Are you even a man!

Feng Sanniang watched from the side, chuckling incessantly.

"Young master..."

"Young master, is that it?"

"Yeah, hurry up and come out!"

A group of people stood at the door of Liu Zheng's room, refusing to leave.

Liu Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Go, go, go, go stay somewhere cool!"

What a headache!

He picked up the mirror he had on him; it must be said, it was crafted quite exquisitely. Exquisite sandalwood, an exquisite mirror surface, and an exquisite back.

He couldn't help but smile slightly.

Honestly, having lived two lifetimes, what Liu Zheng was worst at was flirting. Before he "died" in his previous life, he hadn't even held a girl's hand. It was only after coming to this world that things with Shen Manqing happened naturally.

And, it wasn't even him who flirted with her...

Now.

What should he do? Just walk over, give the mirror to Xie Chan, and say, this is for you?

That, just thinking about it is awkward.

For a moment, Liu Zheng was scratching his head in frustration.

He saw the paper and brush nearby.

A love poem?

Sending a letter to express affection, that seems like it could work too. Isn't that how Qin Zhangfeng and Pei Yanran are?

It's just that.

Since coming to this world, he has really written too many love poems.

If he were to take those things out again, wouldn't that be disrespectful to Xie Chan?

He needed something new!

Got it!

His eyes suddenly lit up.

He picked up the paper and brush and began to write rapidly.

He did not expect that he, a person who didn't know how to flirt,

was about to spark a new trend of flirting in the Longyan Dynasty.
