Lin Shuning was completely focused on taking advantage of Jiang Yu at the moment. He was pulled so suddenly that he lost his balance for a moment. He screamed and immediately fell on Jiang Yu.

The girl's soft and fragrant lips brushed the man's Adam's apple like a feather, and her hand pressed just above the man's chest.

The air suddenly became hazy and dreamy, filled with ambiguity. It was so quiet that the only sound that could be heard was the beating of two people's hearts.

Feeling the violently beating heart under her palm, Lin Shuning's eyes were blank for a moment. Until she saw her own reflection in the dark eyes filled with mist and undercurrents at a super close distance she had never seen before, and felt some changes in the body of the handsome man under her, she finally realized what was happening, and her jade-like face turned red.

Lin Shuning hurriedly climbed up from the handsome man, his eyes wandering: "I... I didn't mean to do that, you pulled me... that's why..."

She spoke haltingly and it was easy to see that she was nervous.

Ahhh, my heartbeat is irregular again, breathing, breathing, inhaling, exhaling, inhaling, exhaling…

Woo woo woo, as expected, beauty can destroy one’s body, beauty can destroy one’s body!

Jiang Yu looked at the increasingly red face of the pretty little girl in front of him, and suddenly curled the corners of his lips.

Sure enough, it was the same as last time.

It seems that the initiative is in his hands.

His deep and boundless black eyes were filled with a faint light. He spoke in a low and hoarse voice, with a hint of temptation: "It's okay."

"Haha...that's good...haha, let's stop here for today. I'm leaving first." Lin Shuning laughed awkwardly. He felt like he would catch fire if he didn't leave. He picked up the medicine box and rushed out the door. As soon as he opened the door, he ran into Yue Zhao who came to deliver medicine.

"Miss San, what's wrong with you?"

"Me? I'm fine!" Lin Shuning pointed at himself with a calm face, but his arrhythmia was about to jump out of his throat.

After she said this, she didn't wait for Yuezhao to reply, and she scurried out like a rabbit, escaping from Prince Rui's mansion.

Yue Zhao looked at her back suspiciously, walked into the house with the medicine, and said, "Master, what happened to the Third Miss?"

"She..."

Jiang Yu's deep smile sank into the bright pink and purple sunset glow: "It's just that I got into trouble."

……

The early morning sunlight gently shines on the endless official road.

The shallow puddles refracted the sunlight, forming a cloud-like mist, reflecting the layers of palaces beneath the sky.

Outside the palace, the light gradually rose, and inside the palace, the situation was turbulent. Everyone had their own thoughts. Even the golden light of autumn that seeped into the palace could not dispel the gloom between their brows.

Emperor Jingsheng, wearing a dragon robe, sat high on the throne and looked gloomily as he flipped through the memorials in his hand: "This year's conscription and tax payment have been delayed. I think it's time to put it on the agenda. Prince Rui just solved a border military pay case not long ago, which shows his ability. In my opinion, it's better to let Prince Rui handle this matter. My dear ministers, what do you think?"

Under the dragon throne, the ministers looked at each other, and Grand Tutor Di was the first to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate.

In the past, this matter was handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Ministry of Shangshu. His Royal Highness Prince Rui has just returned to the capital and is not familiar with many people and things. I think this matter should be decided after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returns with the military pay in the near future. "

When Lin Cheng heard this, he immediately agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has been dealing with these matters over the years. He is the best candidate, but he is not in the capital for the time being. But even so, there is still the Third Prince."

He glanced at Jiang Chen who was standing beside him and gave him a meaningful look.

Now the Emperor intends to support Prince Rui and is even willing to give the Crown Prince's job to him. This shows that the Crown Prince's position is now precarious.

Perhaps the emperor has already considered deposing him.

However, he was also involved in the incident that happened to Prince Rui back then. If Prince Rui came to the throne, even if he would not live long, he would certainly not have a good life. Right now, his best choice was to stand on the side of the Third Prince.

Jiang Chen glanced at Lin Cheng indifferently, and it was impossible to discern any emotion in his narrow fox eyes.

At this time, an imperial censor could not help but stand up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be handed over to Prince Rui. He was deposed and expelled from the capital because of his intention to rebel. How can we hand over such a big matter as conscription and taxation to him now? What if..."

"Snapped!"

The memorial was thrown heavily to the ground and broke into pieces.

All the ministers trembled, looked at each other, held their breath and dared not speak.

"Ha ha……"

Emperor Jingsheng smiled lightly twice. There was no excessive expression on his face, and his tone was the same as usual, but his cold and sharp eyes made people shudder: "My dear ministers, don't worry. I just lost my concentration and didn't hold it steady. You continue talking."

After saying this, he glanced at Eunuch Li beside him.

Eunuch Li understood and immediately stepped forward, picked up the memorial and placed it on the imperial desk.

"Why are you all silent, my dear ministers? Please continue to speak out your opinions."

Emperor Jingsheng's voice was as loud as a bell, but the palace was extremely quiet, so quiet that it was a little eerie.

Anyone who could climb to this position is a shrewd person. Over the years, they have already understood the emperor's temperament very well. Someone just mentioned what happened in the past, which touched the emperor's reverse scale.

Anyone who dares to speak again now would be courting death and would lose both his official position and his head.

Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Censor Chang was already sweating profusely, his heart was beating like a drum, and he tried his best to lean his head on his toes to reduce his presence.

At this moment, the breathless and silent Jiuxiao Palace felt like it was winter even though it was autumn.

Jiang Chen raised a feminine smile. How could he not see what his father meant? As soon as Jiang Yu came back, he kept assigning him various tasks, which made it clear that he was intending to train him.

Now, he is actually going to be assigned to do a task that is so important to the prince. This is really biased.

It’s a pity that the prince is not here now, otherwise, I don’t know what kind of wonderful expression would appear on his face, and how interesting it would be.

He concealed the teasing in his eyes and said in a clear voice: "Father, my sixth brother has just returned and is not familiar with the affairs of the court. Why don't we wait for this matter to be handled later and make a decision after my eldest brother returns?

Besides, I heard that Sixth Brother has been suffering from stomach problems recently and has been feeling unwell. It would be better for him to take this opportunity to rest and recuperate."

After hearing this, Grand Tutor Di quickly added, "Your Majesty, I think what the Third Prince said is very good."

The other ministers, led by Lin Cheng, also echoed the sentiment.

Emperor Jingsheng had a gloomy face and waved his hand: "That's it for now. I'm tired. You all can leave."

"Yes."

All the ministers lowered their eyes and bowed in unison, slowly leaving the hall. Halfway through, a sinister voice suddenly sounded behind them: "My lords, please stay..."

Everyone stopped and looked back, only to see the chief eunuch Li Gonggong beside Emperor Jingsheng quickly walk up to Censor Chang and say meaningfully, "Censor Chang, His Majesty said that you have been an official for thirty years, and you have always been diligent and hardworking, and have repeatedly made good suggestions. He has always seen it. Now that you are old, it is time for you to retire and return home to spend more time with your wife and grandchildren."

Censor Chang's body trembled, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared. These words clearly meant that he was to be dismissed from his official position.

"Eunuch Li, can I see the emperor again?" he said unwillingly.

Eunuch Li shook his head and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Chang Yushi, the emperor has made his meaning very clear. Don't worry, the compensation you should give will not be reduced by a single cent."

Hearing this, Censor Chang knew that he was powerless to save the situation. He took off his official hat and sighed deeply: "Thank you, Eunuch Li."

"The Zajia family also follows instructions."

The other court officials saw this scene, and everyone had an interesting expression on their face. After quickly glancing at each other, they hurriedly fled from the hot white jade ladder.

Jiang Chen's eyes were full of understanding. He did not linger any longer, but turned around and walked away quickly.

……

After noon, the temperature around began to cool down.

There was already dusk on the horizon. Under the heavy mist, rich and picturesque colors were reflected. The rays of light passed through the clouds and shone on the withered and yellow leaves on the ground, as if a layer of golden light had passed through them, which was like a dream.

In the distance, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, startling the birds in the treetops.

"My Lady, something terrible has happened!"
