Nian Huajiao: The cold-faced treacherous minister spoiled her unconditionally after breaking his vow

Mingxu saw that what she said made sense and smiled with satisfaction, like an older sister.

Originally, she had been in Shaoguangyuan for quite some time, but she had no backing and was always bullied by others.

Over time, I learned to think more.

She had not been with Jiang Luo as long as Ren Dong, but she was steady and reserved, and she was careful in her work, so she learned quickly.

Compared with Rendong, she seemed like the one who had always been following Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo also trusted her very much, which made Mingxu feel strange for a while.

But gradually she discovered that Jiang Luo trusted and relied on her from the bottom of his heart, and the things he entrusted her to do were things that only his confidants would know.

So, she secretly swore in her heart that she would never betray her young lady in this life, even if it cost her her life.

"Well said, there is a reward." Jiang Luo said with a smile.

Honeysuckle asked with a smile: "Miss, how much are you going to reward me?"

Jiang Luo stretched out a finger.

"One tael? That's fine. A few words from my servant can be worth one tael of silver, which is a lot of money." Honeysuckle said happily.

Jiang Luo slowly stretched out all five fingers.

"Five taels! My mouth is really valuable..." The laughter of several people in the room echoed throughout the courtyard.

Nanxing in the corner also had a smile on her face.

Wangyou was the busiest person in the whole yard, and there were a lot more bottles and jars in her room.

Lu Jinan is also very busy.

This morning, after he left the court, Emperor Zhaoding kept him in the palace.

At this time, he was playing chess with Emperor Zhaoding in Chengqian Hall.

"Is your mother injured?" The emperor's majestic and deep voice sounded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Mother is fine." Lu Jinan placed a black bead and replied respectfully.

Emperor Zhaoding looked at the young man in front of him who looked 70% like Prince Jing, his eyes were so deep that they could not be read.

He placed a white piece and said, "It's good that she's fine. I heard that someone from the Duke's Mansion saved her?"

Lu Jinan calmly placed the black piece down and replied, "Yes."

Emperor Zhaoding only said that it was someone from the Duke's Mansion, but did not say who it was. Naturally, he did not want to say more, so as not to bring trouble to the little girl.

The hall fell silent again.

"Your Majesty, General Kou Xun of the Five Cities Military Department requests to see you." Wang Fuquan walked in with his body bent and reported.

Lu Jinan quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "I will take my leave."

As the emperor's sword, the most important thing to do is to know when to advance and retreat.

Don’t listen to what you shouldn’t listen to, and don’t say what you shouldn’t say.

Emperor Zhaoding threw away the white piece in his hand, stood up and walked behind the dragon table. He pointed to the armchair beside him and said, "Sit down. It should be the result of your mother's encounter with the bandits. Come with me and listen to it."

Lu Jinan then replied respectfully: "I obey your command."

He sat right on the chair that Emperor Zhaoding had just pointed to.

Emperor Zhaoding was very pleased with his obedience.

After a moment, a tall man in official uniform walked in.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays homage. Long live the emperor." Kou Xun walked to the dragon table and kowtowed.

Emperor Zhaoding raised his hand and said, "Please stand up, Mr. Kou. Is there anything important?"

Kou Xun glanced at Lu Jinan who was sitting next to him and said, "Your Majesty, there has been some progress in the matter of Princess Jing encountering bandits in Beishan."

"You say." Emperor Zhaoding put down the memorial in his hand and ordered.

"The several bandits who escaped and were captured claimed to be soldiers from the Beishan camp and the remnants of Prince Jing's army."

Lu Jinan still sat there listening with an expressionless face.

Emperor Zhaoding asked in confusion: "Why would the remaining troops of Prince Jing assassinate the Princess of Jing?"

"This, this..." Kou Xun looked at Lu Jinan, hesitating whether to say it or not.

"Speak." Emperor Zhaoding made the final decision after the Dragon Case.

“According to what the bandit said, the remaining troops of Prince Jing in the Beishan camp believed that the Princess of Jing was an ignorant woman who taught the Prince of Jing to be so cruel and ruthless, bringing disgrace to the family. The Princess of Jing was not worthy of being the principal wife of Prince Jing…” Kou Xun’s voice was getting lower and lower.

The Prince of Jing was naturally referring to Lu Jinan.

But the huge Chengqian Palace was so quiet that not even a needle dared to drop, and both of them heard his words clearly.

Hearing this, Lu Jinan glared at Kou Xun with anger and said, "You are so cruel and ruthless, and you are bringing disgrace to our family?"

"My father and I both work for the Emperor. How can loyalty to the Emperor be divided into good and evil?"

"Since we are all loyal to the emperor, how can we say that we are bringing disgrace to the family?"

He flicked his sleeves again: "Humph, this group of people is simply abominable."

Seeing that he was angry, Kou Xun looked at Emperor Zhaoding for help: "This, this... Lord Lu, this..."

As the commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Military Department, he has always dealt with the dignitaries of Yongjing City and is very smooth and worldly-wise.

At this time, he had to be afraid that Lu Jinan would hate him because of this.

Emperor Zhaoding saw that Lu Jinan's anger did not seem fake, so he quickly gave Kou Xun a soothing look.

"What's the difference between their crime this time and that of mountain bandits? This group of people are so stupid. I think they are not worthy of being the remnants of Prince Jing." Emperor Zhaoding said while sitting at the top.

He called out again, "Wang Fuquan, pass on my instructions."

"I'm here." Steward Wang replied, bowing his body.

"If anyone in the army again regards himself as the remnant of Prince Jing and commits a crime for no reason that damages Prince Jing's reputation, his crime will be even more serious."

If this imperial edict were to reach the army, who would dare to call themselves the remnant of Prince Jing's army in the future?

If I accidentally committed a crime and was accused of being a member of Prince Jing's remnant army, wouldn't that be extremely unlucky?

In the future, everyone in the army will be in danger because of Prince Jing.

The superior is not only good at using a knife, but also good at playing chess.

The white and black pieces were constantly changing under his fingers.

This decree seemed to be protecting Prince Jing's reputation, but secretly it was actually a hatred for Lu Jin Allah.

Lu Jinan clenched his back teeth tightly, but did not show it on his face.

At this moment, he looked very complacent, as if he was happy about the emperor's oral instructions.

Wang Fuquan glanced at Lu Jinan and quickly replied, "I obey your command." He flicked the whisk in his hand and retreated out of the hall.

Lu and Kou hurriedly shouted, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Can you identify the mastermind behind this?" Emperor Zhaoding asked again.

Kou Xun shook his head and replied, "Your Majesty, these people only said that there was no mastermind behind the scenes, and they discussed and did this on their own."

Emperor Zhaoding sneered and said, "How could General Su Wu not know about these few people?"

"Humph!"

The two of them knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please calm down."

After a cup of tea, Emperor Zhaoding raised his hand and signaled the two to get up.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Tomorrow these people will be paraded through the streets for public display and beheaded at noon to serve as a warning to others. I allow Minister Lu to personally supervise the execution."

"Your Majesty, your humble servant obeys your order. Your Majesty is wise." Both of them bowed and said.

After giving the order, Emperor Zhaoding waved his hand, signaling the two to leave.

The two men said, "I'm leaving now." Then they bowed and left.

Lu Jinan left Chengqian Hall and walked straight towards the South City Gate.

The hands he held behind his back were clenched until they turned white, and his knuckles made crackling sounds.

But he could only endure it.

What a good plan...
