The cold light shone into Jiang Cheng's eyes.

The night wind blew and the moon came out.

When the moonlight shone, Jiang Cheng saw the man's face.

Bullshit, I didn’t see anything. The other person was wearing a mask, and only his eyes looked familiar to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng dodged sideways and slapped the man's sword, making a sound of weapons clashing.

There was a look of fear in the man's eyes.

When he turned around and looked at Jiang Cheng, it was as if he was not looking at a human being.

He swung his sword hard at Jiang Cheng's neck, but there was only the sound of the sword colliding.

There was no mark left on Jiang Cheng's neck.

However, just as he was shocked, Ganlu fell from the sky and kicked the opponent in the heart, knocking him to the ground.

She drew a soft sword from her waist and placed it across the man's neck.

Gan Lu looked back at Jiang Cheng: "How hated you are!"

Jiang Cheng spread his hands: "My personality is so charming that many people like me, but there are also many people who hate me. It's just that love turns into hate."

Ganlu was so disgusted by his shameless remarks that she shuddered all over.

She turned around and sternly said to the assassin: "Who sent you?"

The assassin glanced at Jiang Cheng without saying anything and sneered.

Ganlu suddenly felt something was wrong. She reached out and tore off the assassin's veil, and sure enough, blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Gan Lu turned around in shock and looked at Jiang Cheng to argue: "I didn't kill him, he died of poisoning himself, you can't blame me."

Without saying a word, the assassin closed his eyes and became a corpse.

Jiang Cheng looked at his face carefully, but still didn't recognize him. However, those eyes made Jiang Cheng feel inexplicably familiar.

When he wanted to take a closer look, he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves.

In the distance, a man was riding a horse galloping towards them.

"Who's fighting in front?"

This is the familiar commander of the Imperial Guard, Ying Zhao.

Jiang Cheng said to Gan Lu, "Give me five taels."

Ganlu immediately understood and took Jiang Cheng away from the crime scene.

When Ying Zhao arrived, there was only one body on the ground.

He immediately dismounted to check, and when he saw the familiar purple color on the corpse's face, he seemed to have thought of something and pried open the corpse's mouth.

Sure enough, an empty back molar was found in the mouth, and the poison inside had already seeped into the throat.

The assassin he captured was like a dumb corpse. No matter what punishment he received every day, he refused to say a word.

However, a wave of unrest has occurred again.

These are obviously the same group of people as the assassins in the palace.

The situation seems to be becoming complicated.

On the other side, Jiang Cheng experienced the feeling of a roller coaster again.

Fortunately, Ganlu’s martial arts skills were very good, so even though he stepped on someone’s roof, he did not receive any complaints about nuisance in the middle of the night.

Jiang Cheng hasn't even said thank you yet.

The words spoken by Ganlu from the mouth of a living person were colder than those spoken by a corpse.

"If I work two jobs, remember to pay me the extra one."

After saying that, she walked away.

Well, he should write more articles tonight and earn some money.

Today is another day of holding a grudge against the Crown Prince and the Second Prince.

Fortunately, Jiangcheng’s Spring Examination was held smoothly and successfully.

His Majesty felt that he had not made a mistake in choosing Jiang Cheng, and that he was indeed a talented person who could be used, so he was very pleased.

Summon Jiang Cheng and ask him what he wants.

Jiang Cheng immediately expressed his loyalty again.

"This is all within my humble servant's responsibility. I dare not take credit for it."

The emperor looked even happier and even patted Jiang Cheng on the shoulder affectionately.

"I know all of this. Just tell me what you want and I will consider it as my pleasure today."

His eyes were fixed on Jiang Cheng without blinking, as if he was really waiting for him to say something.

However, a closer look reveals the coldness hidden behind his joy.

Those smiles were not visible to the eyes.

It is more of a temptation than a reward.

If he didn't say what he wanted today, the emperor would not be happy, but if he said what he wanted, the emperor would be even less happy.

But if I have to say something.

Jiang Cheng knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor: "I do have something I want, please grant me your permission."

When Jiang Cheng knelt down and kowtowed, the emperor's face had turned gloomy.

However, his tone has not changed: "Really? Mr. Jiang, tell me, what do you want?"

Jiang Cheng still lowered his head: "I want the rules."

Hearing this, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and the cold expression on his face broke.

"What? Who?"

"Imperial Physician's Charter."

He originally thought that Jiang Cheng might seek an official position, fame, or profit.

Or maybe like everyone else, they want him to give them some privileges.

But I never thought that he would want an imperial physician.

The emperor's expression eased a little and he said to Jiang Cheng, "What do you want the imperial physician to do? Is anyone in your family sick?"

Jiang Cheng said, "No, no one in my family is sick. It's just that my daughter is very interested in medicine, and I want to help her borrow an imperial physician from the emperor."

After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the emperor's expression relaxed.

He laughed:

"It is said that Lord Jiang is a daughter slave. Today I have finally seen it. Okay, I will do as you say, but I have to see your daughter before I can give it to you."

Jiang Cheng bowed his head: "Thank you, Lord."

Xilu took the emperor's oral order to Jiang Mansion and found Jiang Rou.

Jiang Rou didn't expect Jiang Cheng to ask for this for her.

As long as she gets the emperor's blessing, maybe she will be able to practice medicine openly in the future.

Jiang Rou's eyes turned red with emotion.

Eunuch Xilu said with a smile: "Miss Jiang, please accept the order!"

"Thank you, father-in-law."

This palace is full of people flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiang Cheng is about to become the next upstart favorite.

And he only has one daughter, Jiang Rou, so naturally he gives all the good things to her.

If others want to please Jiang Cheng, they don’t have to go to Jiang Cheng, they can just please Jiang Rou directly.

Although Jiang Rou had been to the palace, she had never been summoned by the emperor alone.

Because He Congling lived in the Empress Dowager's Shoukang Palace, Jiang Rou had only entered Shoukang Palace when she entered the palace before.

This is the first time I have stepped into the former dynasty.

Jiang Rou felt uneasy.

The palace maid who led the way walked very quickly as if she was in a hurry. At a corner, Jiang Rou lost her without noticing.

When she went to look for him again, he had disappeared. Jiang Rou was lost in the huge palace.

She didn't dare walk around, for fear of bumping into something.

I had no choice but to continue walking along the path the palace maid took.

As she walked, she came across a pavilion, and inside the pavilion sat a woman playing the piano.

She holds a fan in her left hand and a black piece in her right hand, and seems to be considering where to place the black piece.

The other person turned around when he heard the noise and turned out to be a beautiful woman.

Seeing the stunned Jiang Rou, she smiled and said, "Are you lost?"

It was a very gentle voice, which made Jiang Rou let down her guard.

She walked towards the woman with confidence: "I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to barge in."

The woman covered half of her face with a fan, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed: "It doesn't matter, since we met it was fate."

"You look a lot like an old friend of mine."
