Long Live the Empress

But the good times did not last long. A few days later, Old Zheng brought news that Kong Linan was arrested by Jingzhao Yin because someone had exposed that Kong Linan had cheated in the imperial examination.

This reason is simply ridiculous!

Yue Jinghao knew that Kong Linan was a talented and upright person, and would never disdain such a mean act.

If I ask Yue Hanwen for help, he will definitely accuse me of having a private relationship with Kong Linan. Not only will I not be able to rescue the person, I might even harm him...

Yan Liyuan!

That evil face suddenly appeared in Yue Jinghao's mind. In this life, there are not many people that Yue Jinghao can trust. Yan Liyuan is one of them...

At the hour of Hai, Yue Jinghao arrived at the gate of Qiansui Mansion wearing a black cloak.

The guard drew his sword and asked, "Who are you?"

Yue Jinghao was not afraid at all. "Please report to the Ninth Prince. Does he know who is the most hidden person who deserves to be killed in the Wei Kingdom?"

The guards had never heard of someone reporting in this way. One of the guards looked Yue Jinghao up and down with a scrutinizing look before going in.

Not long after, Wang Yi came out and said, "Miss, the governor wants to see you!"

Manju wanted to follow Yue Jinghao in, but was stopped by the guards at the door, "Miss..."

Yue Jinghao smiled at her and said, "Wait for me in the carriage, I'll be out soon!"

Wang Yi admired Yue Jinghao's courage. No one dared to come and ask to see the governor at this time!

When the guard reported the words to Yan Liyuan, Yan Liyuan knew that Yue Jinghao had come. Haha, looking at the entire Wei State, she was the only one who dared to speak to him like that.

When Yue Jinghao saw Yan Liyuan, her heart trembled. At this moment, he was no longer as evil and cold as before, but instead had a lazy feeling.

"Miss, are you here in Qiansui Mansion just to daydream?" Sure enough, Yan Liyuan is still the same Yan Liyuan, let laziness go to hell!

Yue Jinghao bowed and greeted him before answering, "Tonight, the Nine Thousand Year Old is more handsome than usual, so I couldn't help but look at him a few more times. Please don't blame me, Nine Thousand Year Old!" What's the big deal? Isn't it just a few more glances? As if no one dared to admit it!

"Pfft..." Wang Yi couldn't help but burst out laughing. Was his ruler being teased by Miss Yue?

Yan Liyuan raised his eyebrows, but he was not angry. "Is this how a young lady asks for help?"

"It's not a request, it's an exchange!" Yue Jinghao's face was full of determination, as if the person in front of her was not the bloodthirsty and cold-blooded Nine Thousand Years Old...

"Oh? Then tell me about it!" Yan Liyuan wanted to hear what she could say!

"One secret for one person." How could Yue Jinghao be so foolish as to tell the secret before the terms were even agreed upon?

"Okay, as long as what you say is valuable!"

Yue Jing looked at him and was relieved. "I think the governor must know that before my emperor ascended the throne, there was a powerful rival. Later, my emperor ascended the throne smoothly with the help of the eldest princess. That rival was also killed on the spot..."

Yan Liyuan looked at Yue Jinghao with scrutiny. Did Yue Hanwen tell her all this? She wasn't even born at that time, so how could she know so much?

"But, although he is dead, he left behind 20,000 elite soldiers..." Yue Jinghao looked at Yan Liyuan. This was discovered accidentally after Wei Zilin ascended the throne. If Yan Liyuan knew about this, he would never let those 20,000 people live to that time.

Yan Liyuan paused as he twisted the teacup. How could this have happened? How come he didn't know about it?

"When the time is right, those 20,000 elite soldiers will sneak into the palace and avenge their dead master. Do you know where those people are hiding, Nine Thousand Years Old?"

Yan Liyuan frowned. If this was true, it would be a cancer. If it was not dealt with in time, something serious might happen. "I will definitely find out!"

Yue Jinghao hid her lips and sneered, "If it was possible to find out, it would have been found out long ago. Why would I need to tell you?"

Yan Liyuan choked and looked at Wang Yi. It was because of his poor performance that he was ridiculed by this little guy! He would deal with him later!

Wang Yi shrank his neck guiltily, not even daring to breathe.

"In exchange, I ask Your Excellency to release Kong Lin'an who is imprisoned in Jingzhao Yin!" Yue Jinghao stated her purpose and looked at Yan Liyuan.

Kong Linan? A man? She went through so much trouble to come to me just to save a man?

For some reason, Yan Liyuan's mood suddenly became bad, and his voice became colder. "Okay, I promise you."

Yue Jinghao didn't have time to think about why he suddenly got angry. She just wanted to rescue them as soon as possible. "They were actually right under the nose of the Nine Thousand Year Old. At that time, the battlefield was in chaos. When they learned that their master was dead, they put on the armor they had prepared in advance and mixed into the army of our emperor..."

"Impossible! How could a general not know his own soldiers?" Wang Yi suddenly interrupted.

"That general was originally a hidden chess piece planted in the army by that person!" Yan Liyuan pointed out.

If that were the case, then everything would make sense.

"Who is that person?" Wang clenched his fist. This time, the governor was really embarrassed. Those people were operating right under the governor's nose, but now they had to wait for a woman to inform on them before they knew about it...

"General Yan Chun! Whether it is true or not, please go and check it out, Your Highness! And please abide by the agreement." Yue Jinghao saluted and retreated without caring about Yan Liyuan's reaction.
