The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

After hearing Xiahou Xuan's words, all the ministers remained silent.

Only Xia Qingyuan continued to ask:

"May I ask your Majesty if Prince Yong'an is accompanied by an imperial physician on this trip? His injuries are so serious that he should be treated as soon as possible. As for the disaster in Jiangnan, we should naturally put it aside and send other officials to deal with it."

"Oh? Then who do you think I should send to deal with the disaster?"

"This...I dare not speak rashly, but I leave it to Your Majesty to decide."

Hearing this, Xiahou Xuan sneered.

"I already have a choice in mind. There is no need to say more. I will adjourn the court..."

Xiahou Xuan turned away, leaving the ministers present speechless.

After Xia Qingyuan left the court, he immediately returned home to inquire about the situation.

"Father, didn't the assassins we sent say that they only injured Prince Yong'an? But today, His Majesty said in the court that Prince Yong'an was in imminent danger. If Prince Yong'an is really in danger, His Majesty will definitely get to the bottom of it!"

Xia Qingyuan looked at Xia Chonghe anxiously, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

"Why are you panicking? The news brought by the assassins must be correct. They dare not conceal or report false information. The only explanation is that your majesty said this on purpose."

Xia Chonghe understood the reason after just one thought.

After hearing this, Xia Qingyuan gradually calmed down and felt that there was indeed something wrong with the emperor's words and actions in the court just now.

"Father, do you mean that His Majesty is already suspicious of the Xia family?"

"It's hard to say. For so many years, the Xia family and Your Majesty have been in a state of mutual checks and balances. The harem is controlled by the Queen Mother. Generally speaking, the Xia family has the upper hand. It is normal for Your Majesty to want to break this balance." Xia Chonghe analyzed calmly.

Hearing this, Xia Qingyuan frowned slightly:

"Your Majesty, have you noticed the situation in Jiangnan? That's why you specially sent Prince Yong'an to Jiangnan this time?"

"Chen Zongyuan should have kept this a secret. Your Majesty cannot possibly know about it. Even if Your Majesty knew about it, so what? There is no evidence and no witnesses to convict him. Even if he is convicted, Chen Zongyuan will take the blame. It has nothing to do with our Xia family."

At this point, Xia Chonghe showed a sly smile. Xia Qingyuan immediately understood what his father meant and also smiled:

"My father is a man of far-sightedness, and I need to continue to learn from him."

"Yuan'er, there is no need to belittle yourself. Now that your power in the court is growing, His Majesty will certainly be wary of you, so you have to be careful and not let His Majesty catch you." Xia Chonghe warned patiently.

"Yes, father, rest assured, your son knows."

Jiang Wange had already finished drawing the blueprint of the dam and submitted it to Xiahou Xuan. After seeing it, Xiahou Xuan exclaimed that it was wonderful.

"Wanwan, how did you come up with such a brilliant idea? If it is built, the people won't have to worry about such a large-scale flood when the rainy season comes next time."

Xiahou Xuan was overjoyed and looked at Jiang Wange excitedly.

Seeing that he was so satisfied with the drawings, Jiang Wange felt relieved.

"I'm glad I could help Your Majesty. Wait until the rainy season is over and build it as soon as possible so that it can be completed before the next rainy season. This will also be a good opportunity to test the effectiveness of the dam." Jiang Wange smiled and accepted Xiahou Xuan's flattery.

"Well, but before we build the dam, we have to punish those corrupt officials as soon as possible. Now that Acong is still injured, I plan to transfer an official from other places to deal with it..."

As he spoke, Xiahou Xuan looked at Jiang Wange, which made Jiang Wange feel puzzled:

"Why is your majesty looking at me?"

"I plan to have Jiang Huaiyuan rush to Jiangnan. I think he should have received the transfer order and is on his way to Jiangnan."

"Let my father go? But he is just a small county magistrate. Will the officials in Jiangnan be willing to listen to him?" Jiang Wange's words were full of worry.

"Don't worry about that. The one that goes with my order is a token representing me. With this token, your father can deal with the officials there at will."

Jiang Wange looked straight at Xiahou Xuan after hearing this, and it took him a while to understand his intention:

"So, you want my father to be credited with this case and then be transferred to the central government to do some work?"

"clever."

Xiahou Xuan curled his lips and continued, "I heard you talk about Jiang Huaiyuan's deeds before, and I felt that if he was a good official, he should not be buried. This is a good opportunity to test him. If he makes achievements, I will let him go to the capital to be an official. There is a reason for this, and others will not say anything."

Although Xiahou Xuan could have directly issued an imperial decree to summon him to the capital and promote him directly, it was far less legitimate than doing so now.

He also didn't want others to say that Jiang Huaiyuan relied on his daughter to get promoted, nor did he want the ministers to say that Jiang Wange seduced the king to benefit her family.

Jiang Wange accepted Xiahou Xuan's kindness and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for considering me and my father."

"That's nothing. I will reward you after the dam is built. It's too stingy to just let your father go to Beijing to be an official for such a great thing that benefits the country and the people."

Hearing this, Jiang Wange couldn't help but laugh out loud, but didn't say anything else.

"My lady, Madam Wen has entered the palace."

Qianyue reported this to Jiang Wange happily.

Hearing this, Xiahou Xuan and Jiang Wange looked up at the same time, and Xiahou Xuan understood:

"Then you and Jiang Wanyi can have a good chat. I will come back later."

After saying that, Xiahou Xuan left.

Qianyue then invited Jiang Wanyi in.

"I have met Jiang Liangyuan."

Jiang Wanyi bowed politely to Jiang Wange and was then helped up by Qianyue.

"There are only three of us here, so there's no need to be formal." Jiang Wange looked at Jiang Wanyi with a smile.

"Ah."

Jiang Wanyi nodded, then looked at Qianyue:

"Qianyue, I haven't seen you for such a long time. You look more and more beautiful. It seems that my sister has taken good care of you."

When Jiang Wanyi gave Qianyue, who had taken care of her since childhood, to Jiang Wange, she was very reluctant. However, apart from her, she didn't know anyone else who would follow her sister so loyally, so she had to give up with reluctance.

Now that she saw Qianyue was fine, she felt relieved.

"Miss, the young master is very kind to me and has always taken care of me. Now I am following you and enjoying the good life. It's so great."

Qianyue was also very happy to see Jiang Wanyi. After all, they had been master and servant for many years. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were still as close as before after meeting.

After the three of them reminisced about the past, Jiang Wanyi began to teach Jiang Wange the basic knowledge of pharmacology, starting from the identification of medicinal herbs.

Jiang Wange listened very carefully. An hour passed quickly. After seeing this, Qianyue immediately went to get tea and snacks so that the two masters could have a rest.

After the meeting, Jiang Wange asked Qianyue to sit down with her. They chatted about the gossip in and outside the palace, so they were not bored.

"My lady, Miss Xia is asking for an audience outside the palace."

Yu Jin walked in and reported to Jiang Wange.

Jiang Wanyi heard this and did not linger any longer:

"That's all I'll learn today. I'll go back to the palace tomorrow."

"Well, Qianyue, take Xiaoyi to Doctor Wen, in case she doesn't know the way."

"Okay, my lord."

After saying that, Qianyue led Jiang Wanyi out through the side door, deliberately avoiding Xia Qingqian.
