I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

Beijing.

Royal study room.

Chen Qingyun put away the memorial and rubbed his tired eyes.

Suddenly, her eyes fell on a letter again.

This letter was written by Jiang Zuo to Miss Siyue.

"Siyue, I have finished my work here. How is yours? Do you need me to go to the capital to help you? If you don't have time, I am ready to go to the capital to see you at any time. I hope everything goes well for Siyue and I hope you will reply soon."

Chen Qingyun held the letter in his hand and was stunned for a long time.

Chen Qingyun was still struggling over whether to let Jiang Zuo come to Beijing or go to Anding County in person.

In the past few days, the situation in Mobei has stabilized, and border troops have also sent battle reports, blocking a small part of the invasion of the northern barbarians.

At this time in the Mobei grassland, the major tribes were fighting among themselves.

I believe that during this cold winter, the people of Mobei will no longer go south to invade the State of Yan.

What Chen Qingyun was more worried about at this time was the State of Chen in the south.

According to the battle report from the south, the Yan army won a great victory in a small conflict, and the Chen State has sent envoys to negotiate with the Yan State.

As for the State of Yan, perhaps it will be necessary to send envoys in the future to intimidate and inquire about the situation in the State of Chen.

In the heart of the empress Chen Qingyun, there has always been an ambition to unify the world.

Only if she achieves enough merits will the world forget that she was a vicious woman who seized the throne by killing her brothers.

She may not be an absolutely good person, but she definitely wants to be a good monarch.

A wise ruler naturally needs the assistance of loyal ministers and capable generals.

"I wonder what Jiang Zuo is doing now? Is he doing business to make money again? Or is he still busy..."

Chen Qingyun thought about it and picked up Jiang Zuo's letter again.

"This guy is so handsome, how come his handwriting is so ugly..."

Chen Qingyun looked at Jiang Zuo's handwriting, and for some reason, he smiled with ease.

After thinking for a while, she finally came up with an idea.

Now that the situation in the capital has stabilized, Chen Qingyun can go north again to meet Jiang Zuo.

Since Jiang Zuo wants to marry her so much, as the empress, can she also make some small requests?

……

Anding County.

yamen.

Jiang Zuo slowly wandered in the lobby, seemingly doing nothing.

Ever since I dealt with the matter in Mobei, I actually felt a little bored.

Jiang Zuo had already arranged accommodation for the girl Zhao Ruodong yesterday, so there was no need for Jiang Zuo to worry about her now.

But Jiang Zuo was still somewhat curious about where this woman came from.

Just as he was thinking about that, a yamen runner came in and reported: "Sir, there is a woman outside the door who calls herself Miss Zhao and wants to see you."

"Oh?" Jiang Zuo was slightly stunned before saying, "Let her in."

A moment later, Zhao Ruodong, wearing a purple dress, slowly came in front of Jiang Zuo.

There were still two bruises on her face, but they did not hide her fair skin or her beautiful yet somewhat cold appearance.

"My daughter... Zhao Ruodong, greets Lord Jiang."

Zhao Ruodong was already able to speak, and he bowed to Jiang Zuo as soon as they met.

Her voice was extremely delicate and gentle, with a hint of hoarseness because her throat had not yet recovered.

This voice sounds quite different.

"Um... no need to be polite."

Jiang Zuo was stunned for a moment.

"What do you want to see me for?"

Zhao Ruodong lowered her head and said, "I came here to say goodbye to you, sir. I want to go find my brother. Thank you for taking care of me these past two days."

"Uh, you're welcome. Here's some silver for you to use on your journey."

Jiang Zuo took out dozens of taels of silver and handed them to Zhao Ruodong.

After all, she was alone in Anding County, without any relatives or friends, and her travel money was robbed that day, which was quite heartbreaking.

Jiang Zuo just wanted to help to the best of his ability and had absolutely no other thoughts.

"Thank you, sir. I don't know how to repay you for your kindness."

Zhao Ruodong knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Jiang Zuo said: "Get up quickly, no need to be so polite."

Zhao Ruodong slowly raised her head. She had just stood up when she suddenly held her forehead and felt dizzy. Suddenly, she fell forward towards Jiang Zuo.

At this moment, before Jiang Zuo stepped forward, Zhao Ruodong threw himself into Jiang Zuo's arms, still with his eyes closed and his head supported.

"Is it really that easy to fall?"

Jiang Zuo's hands were tightly clenched and he did not touch Zhao Ruodong's body at all.

"Isn't this ambiguous action too far-fetched? Could it be that she intentionally wants to get closer to me?" Jiang Zuo thought to himself.

Jiang Zuo, who was a cautious person, began to have doubts again. He always adhered to a prudent principle.

When a woman approaches you for no apparent reason, she definitely has other intentions.

Either they are after your money, or they are attracted by your handsome looks.

There is no such thing as love at first sight, there are always other purposes.

Of course, except Miss Siyue.

Jiang turned his head to the left, half-raised his hand, kept his distance, and only asked: "Are you feeling better?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I just fainted and didn't mean to offend you..."

Zhao Ruodong apologized softly, his voice was extremely weak, and after a long while, he slowly left Jiang Zuo's arms.

The two of them suddenly fell silent, and the scene seemed to fall into an inexplicable awkwardness.

"grown ups!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

It was Yang Feng's voice.

He arrived at the right time and inadvertently helped Jiang Zuo ease the embarrassment.

Jiang Zuo hurriedly walked forward and distanced himself from Zhao Ruodong.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Zuo asked.

"Di Zhen has sent an envoy who wants to see you, my Lord."

Yang Feng reported.

Jiang Zuo said: "Tell him to wait for a while and say that I will be there soon. After an hour, tell him that I have something to do and cannot meet him."

"Sir, doesn't that mean you're just leaving him alone?"

Yang Feng was puzzled.

"That's what we have to do. Di Zhen is becoming more and more arrogant now. We have to suppress him."

Jiang Zuo explained.

With Di Zhen's straightforward and violent personality, it is absolutely impossible for him to submit to the State of Yan. On the contrary, Suolu may have some possibility.

Now Jiang Zuo's aid target has shifted from Di Zhen and Suo Lu to Igna.

"Then I understand." Yang Feng said, and then turned his head and suddenly saw the woman behind Jiang Zuo, and then asked: "Sir, who is this?"

"Um, this is Zhao Ruodong, Miss Zhao." Jiang Zuo introduced, and then said to Zhao Ruodong: "This is Yang Feng, the strongest soldier in our Anding Army."

Yang Feng smiled, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "Sir, please don't flatter me." Then, he looked at Zhao Ruodong's cold and beautiful face, leaned over and said, "Hello, Miss Zhao."

Zhao Ruodong nodded slightly but said nothing.

"Miss Zhao's throat is injured now, so she can't say much for now. Please understand."

Jiang Zuo explained.

"clear."

Yang Feng nodded, and then shifted his gaze.

"Meet Mr. Yang."

At this time, Zhao Ruodong bowed and saluted.

"No need to salute, no need to salute..."

Yang Feng scratched his head.
