The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are cheating

Yue Lin made the decision about hunting on the spur of the moment, so Jiang Zhimiao could only send someone to ask at short notice.

result.

Among all the concubines in the palace, only Concubine De showed great interest.

Jiang Zhimiao talked to Yue Lin and decided that Concubine De would also accompany them.

The next day.

Jiang Zhimiao got up on time when it was still dawn.

She was shocked by the change in herself.

She actually... is used to getting up early?

This is not a good habit!

After finishing this busy period, the first thing she wants to do is to have a good sleep!

All the officials have gathered at the palace gate waiting.

This time, Yue Lin suddenly wanted to go hunting outside the city, and the news was only delivered last night.

All departments worked overnight to prepare and finally managed to complete the arrangement.

This kind of king who does whatever he wants is originally the most disgusting.

But Yue Lin was surprised by the news.

All departments cooperated vigorously!

Outside the city!

His Majesty is fine, why does he suddenly want to go out of the city to hunt?

What is the biggest news outside the city recently? Isn’t it Chen Jingming’s mysterious house?

Some smart people have already guessed that this time they left the city, they might be targeting Chen Jingming.

It would be best to resolve this matter as soon as possible.

otherwise.

All officials are suspicious of everything, which is very detrimental to family harmony.

It’s early.

But everyone was still in good spirits, and they were full of anticipation for this hunt.

Just don't know.

The emperor hunts real beasts.

Or... Chen Jingming, a living person.

The ones with the ugliest expressions were Yue Hua and his trusted generals.

Yue Hua couldn't hide his inner anger at all, his face turned extremely pale.

last night.

The Ministry of War suddenly destroyed one of his strongholds and captured all the people.

Not to mention that once these people were arrested, a hole would be torn in the spy network he had set up in the capital.

Although this stronghold was not the most important one, these spies had never even seen him in person and did not know who they were working for.

but.

When these people were arrested, part of his source of information was cut off.

Those people don't know that they are behind it, so naturally they won't give themselves away.

but!

The officials in the imperial court are not stupid. Their families have been infiltrated like sieves. But how many people with such power are there in the capital?

The person was arrested by the emperor himself, so it is naturally related to the emperor.

Excluding the emperor, they would naturally suspect themselves!

Even if there is no actual evidence, does suspicion require evidence?

Yuehua discovered it when we met today.

Those whose homes he had placed spies in kept their distance from him.

prior to.

He lost his reputation and the support of the people, but Yuehua did not take these things seriously.

He knew that his real battlefield was in the court.

But ever since Jiang Zhimiao started attending court!

Yuehua felt that the attitude of court officials towards him was becoming increasingly subtle. They had been pretending before, but today, many people simply rejected him without even pretending.

He not only lost the support of the people, he also lost the support of the officials!

This is a huge problem.

Yue Hua wanted to explain, but if he tried to explain this kind of thing, wouldn't it just make things worse? !

If Chen Jingming had not had a good reputation and wide social network, which had won him a lot of support, he would have been completely ostracized!

"Your Highness, don't take it too seriously." Chen Jingming reminded in a low voice: "If Your Highness acts as if nothing has happened, it won't arouse too much suspicion. If Your Highness keeps looking like this, I'm afraid it will really arouse suspicion. Don't worry, I'm here, and no one will remember these trivial matters after a while."

As Chen Jingming spoke, Yuehua nodded.

He still has great trust in his chief think tank.

Chen Jingming has made an indispensable contribution to his current fame.

Moreover, Chen Jingming is a man of extraordinary ability. No matter how big the trouble is, as long as he is there, it can always be resolved.

Yuehua slowly calmed down.

Chen Jingming smiled: "Your Majesty, just think it through. Today, just have fun hunting, and don't think about those messy things."

Yuehua nodded and looked at Chen Jingming with some emotion: "It's good to have you here."

Chen Jingming showed a gentle smile: "I will always be here."

Here, Chen Jingming pacified Yuehua, and the emperor and empress's carriage finally arrived.

Because it was a hunting trip, Yue Lin wore military uniform today, and Jiang Zhimiao also changed into neat riding clothes. The two sat side by side, like a perfect couple.

But today, the most eye-catching person is not the emperor and empress.

The Defei in the palace actually changed into a military uniform and rode a war horse like the guarding imperial guards!

She was dressed in fiery red and holding a spear in her hand. At this moment, she was extremely beautiful.

"How could Empress Defei do this?"

"This is against the rules."

"It is not proper for a concubine in the harem to ride a horse and parade through the streets like this."

Everyone couldn't help but talk in a low voice.

Yue Lin said calmly: "I personally approved that Concubine De wore military uniform and rode a horse today. If you are dissatisfied, you can also ride a horse as well."

All the court officials were speechless.

Except for the military generals, no one else among them could ride such a long distance on horseback.

This is a military horse! How can ordinary people tame it?

But Defei, a woman, could easily control military horses. Her nickname "the devil-fearing woman" was not given in vain.

Everyone complained in their hearts, but didn't dare to say anything more.

"Your Majesty. Qionglan is on the right side guarding you." Compared to the Defei in the palace, Wu Qionglan at this moment was heroic and dazzling, like a completely different person.

Jiang Zhimiao's mood suddenly became complicated. She softened her voice and said warmly, "Okay. Thank you, sister."

Wu Qionglan agreed with a smile.

Wu Ji led the imperial guards to guard the surroundings. When he saw Wu Qionglan, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

His sister was a natural born military officer as described by his father.

If we only talk about skills, her martial arts are no worse than mine.

When I was a child, she often chased me.

When they grow up, the natural power gap between men and women makes the outcome of their battle no longer suspenseful.

before.

There was unrest on the border, and their Wu family was stationed at the border.

My younger sister also lives with them in a small town on the border.

She had witnessed many battles with her own eyes and had always wanted to go to the battlefield since she was a child.

Just what my father said.

No woman had ever gone to war.

At that time.

My sister asked again and again with tears in her eyes why?

But her father could not give an answer, but he never allowed her to approach the city wall again.

After that, my sister has been practicing shooting in the yard. She doesn't like reading, but she has memorized all the cases in military books.

She would also beg me to tell her about things on the battlefield, and I used to tell her some cases like I was coaxing a child.

My sister listened attentively and was able to give me some suggestions afterwards.

Wu Ji could hardly imagine how shocked he was at that time.

His sister could make correct judgments just by listening. If his sister was around when a war broke out, he could even avoid a large part of the losses if he listened to her advice.

Wu Qionglan, she is actually a natural born military talent.

but……

She is a woman.

So, none of this worked.

She entered the harem and became the emperor's virtuous concubine.

Fortunately, the current emperor and empress are kind and peaceful. Today, my sister was able to wear military uniform and hold her spear in her hand again.

My sister should be very happy now...

Wu Ji looked at Wu Qionglan, and for some reason, there was a hint of moisture in his eyes.
