I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!

"You are talented and funny. There are not many of you in this world."

Jiang Xingkuo sighed.

"Thank you in advance. Actually, those poems of mine were all copied. Some of the things I did were for self-protection. I opened the shop to save money. I made friends with you because I thought you were worthy of making friends. It has nothing to do with your identity or your appearance."

"Impossible. I have searched ancient books and never found those poems."

"Why, you've read every one of the millions of books in the world?"

"But the food you make is unique. Your new ideas are unheard of and unseen."

"That's because the education I received was different from yours! The customs and culture of the place we live in are very different."

"...You are not from Dajin country?"

Jiang Xingkuo was defeated. "My mother taught me all those things, okay?"

"I say, please stop causing trouble for me. If you are free, you can come over to chat and be friends. I warmly welcome you. Forget about the rest. I'm very busy lately."

Jiang Xingkuo said this while trying to push him away.

"It's because of him, right?" He stood there, not moving at all no matter how hard Jiang Xingkuo tried.

Jiang Xingkuo laughed in anger. "I finally figured it out. An Yuyan, the person you like is not An Zhaoyan, right? You keep trying to persuade me, but it's actually because you're unwilling to give up. You want to take away his things, the person he likes..."

"Don't be ridiculous!" An Yuyan smiled contemptuously, "Do you think he likes you? If he likes you, would he not punish the queen? If he likes you, would he let Concubine De get pregnant? If he likes you, would he lock you up in this cage and make you a canary?"

"Okay. I was just being too sentimental. Before I fell in love with him, I knew he was an emperor. These consequences are inevitable, and I have naturally considered them all."

Actually, no. Because she knew that once she figured it out, she would run away without hesitation.

"An Yuyan, I'll tell you for the last time, a forced melon is not sweet." She said this and walked away without looking back.

His bloodshot eyes stared at the disappearing figure, his petal lips trembling: "What if... I insist on asking for it?"

After returning to Piyun Palace, Tengxi greeted several palace maids whom he had not seen for a long time, and then went back into the house.

She opened her palm and found a folded piece of paper.

I looked around, but there was no one.

She opened it with confidence and remained silent for a long time looking at the note.

Until the voices of the palace maid and Jiang Xingkuo were heard outside.

Tengxi silently put the note into his mouth and swallowed it gently.

"What are you sitting there for? What's wrong? You're not talking." Jiang Xingkuo walked over.

"Don't worry, young lady. I just haven't been back for a long time, and I feel a lot more unfamiliar here. Many old people are gone, and there are many new people." As she spoke, Tengxi slowly wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Yes. Since Huanyan left, the people here have basically been replaced."

Seeing her gloomy expression, Jiang Xingkuo patted her.

"Go find your friend now. It's nothing to worry about. I don't need you to serve me."

Teng Xi hesitated for a moment. "Miss, let's forget about it today. It's getting late, and it would be a bit abrupt to go now. Why not go tomorrow? I brought some rouge and powder, so I'll pack it up before going."

"Okay. You decide. I'm tired and need to rest first. Tell people not to disturb me."

After a busy day, Jiang Xingkuo, tired, went back to his room first.

Tengxi watched her enter the room, then turned and walked out of the Piyue Palace.

The next morning, Jiang Xingkuo opened his hazy eyes and vaguely saw a figure.

She was so frightened that she sat up with a somersault.

"You're here." Jiang Xingkuo calmed himself down and fell down again.

These two brothers really like to scare people without saying a word!

Jiang Xingkuo covered his head with the quilt and continued to pretend to be asleep.

"Has the Black Fire issue been dealt with?" The morning sun shone on him, soft and warm.

Jiang Xingkuo gritted his teeth and lifted the quilt.

"What's wrong with you? You're here so early in the morning! You're disturbing my sweet sleep—"

There was a table full of soups, cakes, snacks and fruits in front of me.

“——It’s not impossible.” Jiang Xingkuo moved his butt over.

She nodded as she ate. "It's all taken care of, don't worry. No one will know."

The dragon pattern on An Zhaoyan's body appears even more brilliant under the sunlight.

He sipped his tea carefully. "That's good. A few days ago, Hai Yanze's memorial was delivered back at the Yunnan border."

Jiang Xingkuo stopped talking. "Have you found him?"

"No. My people did find traces of him in Yunnan, but the strange thing is that he never showed up. He just said that he was sick and couldn't stand the wind, so he was recuperating in the military camp."

"So you suspect..."

"It's useless to doubt. I summoned him back to Beijing, but he also claimed to be sick, saying that the journey was long and the journey was tiring, so he couldn't move around."

On that handsome face, a pair of deep eyes sparkled like stars, but at this moment they revealed endless helplessness.

"Emperors also have their own helplessness. You, as an emperor, feel so frustrated! You can't force him to come back, otherwise the people will say that Your Majesty doesn't care about your subordinates. What's more, he is a hard-working and meritorious general who has been stationed on the border for many years." Jiang Xingkuo shook his head and continued to eat hard.

"I'm glad you know my difficulties." He was very relieved.

Jiang Xingkuo looked up and glanced at him, forcing himself to look away from his handsome face.

"Of course I know that Your Majesty has his own difficulties. So, Your Majesty, if it is not convenient for you to do it, please allow me to do it myself."

Such an unfamiliar name.

He was startled, "Do you really have to help Yutai get justice?"

"What's wrong, Your Majesty? Are you distressed? Don't worry, I won't take her life. I just want her to experience the pain of loss. I know Your Majesty is busy with state affairs and government affairs, so please don't worry about it. I can handle it myself."

Jiang Xingkuo ate the whole thing, lowered his head, and wiped the oil stains off his hands bit by bit with a handkerchief.

"… You decide for yourself." He closed his eyes and then slowly opened them again.

Jiang Xingkuo threw down his handkerchief and looked at him calmly.

"The Privy Council is in charge of military affairs and the selection and appointment of military officers. It is the same position as the prime minister. The chief envoy of the Privy Council is your father-in-law. He used to be the governor of Huguang. Huguang is a rich and prosperous area. All the grain in the world comes from it. It means that there is no shortage of money. Half of the silver in your treasury comes from him."

He smiled and said nothing, motioning for her to continue.

"In the past, you used your father-in-law to suppress the Hai family, and then the old man of the Hai family abdicated, but the Wan family gradually became the dominant one. In recent days, I heard that the Wan family has made a lot of mistakes. I'm afraid you will wake up laughing in your dreams, right?"

He became more interested.

"Hearing what you said, the Wan family and I are on the same boat. How can I be happy if the Wan family makes a mistake?"

Jiang Xingkuo rolled his eyes at him.

"Come on! I just said that the Wan family is becoming more and more powerful. As a son of heaven, how can you tolerate others sleeping soundly? If the Wan family makes a mistake, you can take the opportunity to take back the military power as a punishment. Tell me, when did you take back the military token?"

He was silent for a while, then picked up the small teacup on the table and drank it all.

"That prostitute caused a scene at the wedding banquet the next day."

"What a coincidence? I have to say, this is really a handle that has been delivered to your door... Don't miss it. Everyone says that the old man of the Wan family dotes on his eldest son, and it just so happens that this eldest son is extremely unpromising, hanging out in brothels every day. In the past, he insisted on not marrying Wei Chuchu, and later he spent his wedding night with the daughter of a high-ranking official. He even made a fool of himself in front of you. He is really stupid and cowardly."

Jiang Xingkuo said this, moving his contemptuous eyes to him.

His body trembled, "Why are you looking at me like that? This was not my arrangement. At that time, I specifically told him to spare Wei Chuchu's life and not to torture him. But it was all because of you."

She retracted her gaze and said sarcastically, "You are not much better. You are just destroying the bridge after crossing the river to the Wan family. But it's okay. If the Wan family was not weak, I would not have any thoughts about the queen, and you certainly would not allow me to have any thoughts."
