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

Chen Qingyun frowned and returned to the room.

Qiuyue followed closely behind.

When I pushed open the window, I saw a group of women with heavy makeup and gorgeous clothes lining up and walking into the county magistrate's mansion.

In that courtyard, dancing.

"Good good."

Jiang Zuo was drinking and watching the dance, looking quite intoxicated.

"What a lecher."

Chen Qingyun couldn't bear to watch it anymore and closed the window.

"Miss, please forgive me for speaking frankly. Jiang Zuo is too outrageous. He actually indulges in extravagance in this mansion. As an official appointed by the court, he lives a life of debauchery..."

Qiuyue was very dissatisfied and wished that the Thousand Cavalry Division could take over Jiangzuo.

Chen Qingyun remained silent, carefully recalling Jiang Zuo's previous words...

It's getting dark.

The banquet at the county magistrate's residence had just ended.

Jiang Zuo was already drunk and was in a daze. With the help of others, he returned to his room to rest.

"Sir, please slow down."

Yang Feng helped Jiang Zuo and put him on the bed, then turned around and said to Zhao Ruodong beside him: "Miss Zhao, I have to go back to the government office now, so please take care of Lord Jiang."

He looked a little tipsy, but he didn't drink much at the banquet just now. Now he had to go back to the government office to deal with some business, which was really unprofessional.

Zhao Ruodong nodded slightly and walked forward slowly.

Jiang Zuo reeked of alcohol, his face was red, and he was very drunk.

"Ruodong, continue pouring the wine."

He was still mumbling to himself.

Zhao Ruodong stared at Jiang Zuo's face, stood there in a daze, thought for a moment, then slowly reached his left hand into his right sleeve.

But at this moment, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me.

Zhao Ruodong retracted his hand and looked back.

Butler Hu brought a basin of hot water and held a towel in his hand, as if he was going to wipe Jiang Zuo.

"Butler Hu, let me do it."

Zhao Ruodong took the thing from his hand.

Butler Hu looked at the drunken Lord Jiang on the bed, was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll have to trouble Miss Zhao."

After that, he turned around and left.

Zhao Ruodong took out a towel, dipped it in hot water, and wiped the sweat off Jiang Zuo's forehead.

At this moment, Jiang Zuo suddenly grabbed Zhao Ruodong's hand and smiled.

"My Lord, what's wrong..."

At this moment, Zhao Ruodong was actually a little nervous.

"Ruodong, you are really beautiful."

Jiang Zuo still didn't let go of his hand and said with a smile.

Zhao Ruodong did not respond. Looking at Jiang Zuo's drunken face, he recalled some things.

Soon, she came to her senses, pulled her hands out of Jiang Zuo's hands, and took a few steps back.

She turned her head and saw many people busy outside the room.

Now doesn't seem to be a good time to take action.

Zhao Ruodong hesitated.

Then, she took off Jiang Zuo's boots and helped him to go to bed to rest. After a while, she left Jiang Zuo's room with some hesitation.

……

The moonlight is hazy.

A beautiful figure appeared in the night.

Zhao Ruodong left the room quietly and came to a dark little room.

"What do you want, sir?"

Zhao Ruodong walked in and bent down.

"Why haven't you done anything yet?"

Eunuch Jin questioned.

In the past two days, he has been staying in Anding County, waiting for news from Zhao Ruodong at any time.

"My Lord, Jiangzuo is always protected by someone in secret, so it is difficult for me to do anything."

Zhao Ruodong said in a low voice.

"Then you should get close to him and wait until he lets his guard down before you strike. You don't need me to teach you this, do you?"

There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Eunuch Jin's words.

Zhao Ruodong nodded: "Don't worry, eunuch, just wait another day."

Eunuch Jin looked up and down at Zhao Ruodong's beauty and figure, and said, "With your looks, haven't you tricked him into bed yet?"

Zhao Ruodong said, "Sir, I was almost successful last night, but someone suddenly showed up and it was difficult for me to do it."

"Within the next two days, I will hear the news that Jiang Zuo was assassinated. Can you do it?"

Eunuch Jin ordered.

"I humble my duty and obey my orders."

Zhao Ruodong knelt on the ground.

"Once Jiang Zuo dies, you will be free again."

Eunuch Jin's voice was cold.

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Zhao Ruodong lowered his head, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

……

The next day.

Jiang Zuo got up early, sobered up, and walked to the courtyard.

He had a vague memory of what happened last night and was not really drunk.

When he walked into the courtyard, he suddenly ran into Zhao Ruodong.

"Greetings, Lord Jiang."

Zhao Ruodong bowed and saluted.

Jiang Zuo stared at her face and said, "Ruodong, was it you who took care of me last night?"

"Your Excellency was drunk yesterday, and I just changed your clothes and wiped your body..."

Zhao Ruodong did not look up, and his words were as respectful as usual.

"Thank you. Come and have some tea with me."

Jiang Zuo stretched out his hand, pulled Zhao Ruodong, and came to the pavilion.

Zhao Ruodong felt somewhat flattered. He glanced sideways at Jiang Zuo's hand, slightly thoughtful.

"Does your Excellency not need to attend to any official business today?"

Zhao Ruodong asked, and then made tea for Jiang Zuo.

"No, I'm too tired. I want to rest for a few days." Jiang Zuo drank a sip of tea, then turned around and asked, "What about you? You've been here for a while. What are your plans for the future?"

Zhao Ruodong was slightly moved, and said softly: "If you don't mind, I am willing to stay with you for the rest of my life and repay your kindness."

This sentence sounds somewhat suggestive.

"Alright." Jiang Zuo put his hand on her shoulder, "Then you can accompany me to drink wine and tea today and relax for a day."

Zhao Ruodong nodded slightly and bit his thin lips.

There was an inexplicable ambiguity in the atmosphere.

At this moment, Chen Qingyun had just stood up.

She is going to Tiemaguan today to deal with the affairs of the Six Garrison Army.

Yan Kang has not been officially removed yet, and the empress needs to personally appoint someone to take over the Six Garrisons Army.

The situation on the border has just stabilized, and the Six Garrison Army cannot afford to cause trouble.

"Qiuyue, get ready."

Chen Qingyun gave the order in a low voice, and then walked towards the gate of the mansion.

When they reached the courtyard, they suddenly heard Qiuyue say, "Miss, look..."

Qiuyue's eyes were full of surprise.

Chen Qingyun looked in the direction Qiuyue pointed, and the scene before her made her frown.

Jiang Zuo was sitting under the pavilion, drinking tea, with his hand on a woman's shoulder.

That woman was Zhao Ruodong.

There seems to be a close bond between the two of them.

"This Jiang Zuo is so fickle!"

Qiuyue was extremely angry at this moment.

In her opinion, Jiang Zuo was already the empress's "male favorite", and it was really despicable that he dared to have affairs outside.

"Miss, I will order someone to come and capture Jiang Zuo now!"

Qiuyue's voice was very low, but one could still hear the anger in his tone.

I thought Jiang Zuo was a loyal and elegant gentleman, but I didn't expect that he was also a romantic and flirtatious man.

"Qiuyue, does the palace need eunuchs recently?"

Chen Qingyun asked quietly, his words full of imperial majesty.

“Yes, yes…”

Qiuyue looked up at the empress and suddenly felt uneasy.

Jiangzuo is finished.
