"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Xiao Qi was worried about Xiao Ziyan, so if any problems arose again, he would quickly bring people over to look for her.

It happened that Li Changsheng was holding Xiao Ziyan and walking towards the village.

Li Changsheng said: "The eldest lady was bitten by a poisonous snake!"

Xiao Qi was horrified and asked anxiously, "Ah, you were bitten by a poisonous snake. Is it serious?"

"Eunuch Li has already helped me suck out the snake venom and applied medicine. It should be fine now!"

After Xiao Ziyan finished speaking, the scene of herself being seen naked by Li Changsheng while she was using the toilet just now immediately emerged in her mind. Her cheeks, which had not yet faded from their blush, became hot again.

When Xiao Qi heard his eldest daughter say that she was fine, he finally felt relieved.

As for the eldest lady, why did her cheeks suddenly blush?

He was a rough guy, so he didn't take it seriously.

I just assumed that this was a symptom of being bitten by a poisonous snake.

He clasped his fists and saluted Li Changsheng.

"Li Jianjun, you saved my eldest daughter's life again. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If you ever run into me, Xiao Qi, in the future, just give me a call!"

Because Xiao Ziyan was bitten by a poisonous snake, the inspection trip had to end early.

July 7th is approaching.

Li Changsheng did not stay in Yanshi and ordered his troops to return to the capital.

The county magistrate Du Yuan brought all the people in the county and went out of the city for ten miles to see him off.

Facing Li Changsheng's departure.

In Yanshi City, some people were reluctant to leave, some were afraid, and some felt relieved.

Moreover, a new vortex has begun to surge in Yanshi City.

The noble families that were suppressed by Li Changsheng with the Emperor's Sword have forgotten the pain and are beginning to stir.

County Magistrate Du Yuan also had a premonition of this.

His eyebrows were furrowed into a shape called "川".

His deep eyes were filled with worry about his fate.

However, Mr. Li’s teachings are still fresh in my mind.

The humble did not dare to forget about the country, and the coffin must be closed.

……

On the way back to the capital, Jiang Li was still shouting, saying that he would make Li Changsheng pay after returning to the capital.

However, Li Changsheng took the Emperor's Sword and gestured twice at his neck.

He was given two more large bidou.

Jiang Li then became completely obedient.

After all, he saw with his own eyes that Li Changsheng killed people in Yanshi City.

Although he has the Empress Dowager as his backer.

But for some things, you'd better be safe than sorry!

July 6th:

Li Changsheng and others arrived at the capital smoothly.

That afternoon, Li Changsheng had no time to rest before he was summoned to the palace to meet the empress.

"Li Changsheng, you are so bold! In the capital, at the feet of the emperor, you actually dared to kill so many people?"

"Do you know that the memorials impeaching you piled up as high as a small mountain, almost burying me!"

"Let me ask you, do you know your sin?"

As soon as they met, the empress pretended to be angry and started scolding him harshly.

Li Changsheng said with a resolute expression, word by word:

"Your Majesty, those fellows receive the emperor's salary, yet they have no regard for loyalty to the emperor and their country. Instead, they collude with evil, plundering the people's wealth and wealth, leaving them without a place to live. They have even reached the tragic point of cannibalism. Their crimes are truly innumerable."

"If we don't kill these corrupt officials, it won't be enough to appease the public anger!"

"Your Majesty bestowed upon me the Emperor's Sword so that I could eliminate the treacherous and corrupt officials and restore order to the world."

"I acted according to the laws of the land and executed them accordingly. What crime have I committed?"

Ying Yue never expected that Li Changsheng, who had always been a "coward", would be so tough this time and dare to directly retort to her.

"But now, the entire court, both civil and military officials, say you are our Great Wu's Lao Ai. Zhao Gao says you are a eunuch causing chaos in government. They have all signed a petition requesting that you be torn into pieces by five horses!"

Li Changsheng: "..."

If they say I am Lao Ai, I will just accept it.

After all, he and Lao Ai were both born with divine powers.

But you have to say that I am Zhao Gao.

That would be a huge injustice!

If I were really Zhao Gao of Dawu,

Come up with a good show of calling a horse a deer and kill all those guys as soon as possible.

Seeing that Li Changsheng had stopped talking, Ying Yue thought that he was frightened by her words, so she asked with a half-smile:

"Li Changsheng, do you have anything else to say?"

Li Changsheng, neither humble nor arrogant, asked, "If I were Zhao Gao, then may I ask, Your Majesty, what are you?"

Ying Yue was stunned when he heard this.

"If you are Zhao Gao, then wouldn't I be...Hu Hai, the Second Emperor of Qin?"

Li Changsheng clasped his fists in greeting and said in a resounding voice, "Your Majesty, they are finding new ways to accuse you of being just like Hu Hai, incompetent and a king who brought ruin to the country!"

"Everyone who submitted a memorial to the emperor, I request, shall be executed for slandering the emperor!"

Ying Yue: “…”

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to give Li Changsheng a good beating!

But I never expected that this bastard's tongue was sharper than a sword.

Ying Yue, who was at a disadvantage, smiled awkwardly and tried to make amends for herself.

"You are not Zhao Gao, and I am certainly not Hu Hai. Don't let those people's nonsense ruin your mood!"

"Li Changsheng, you've quelled the bandit rebellion in the capital, a great achievement. Tell me what reward you would like!"

Li Changsheng said: "It is my duty to serve Your Majesty, and I do not ask for any reward!"

Ying Yue smiled calmly and said, "I didn't expect you to be so noble and upright. If that's the case, I will grant your wish and not reward you for now!"

"You must be exhausted from the long journey. Go back and rest!"

Li Changsheng: "..."

I'm just being polite to you, why don't you play by the rules?

But the words had already been spoken, and Li Changsheng couldn't go back on his word.

After cursing the empress harshly in his heart, he stood up and said goodbye.

As soon as Li Changsheng left, Qingying walked into the hall alone.

"Your Majesty, how should Jiang Li be dealt with?"

Ying Yue's expression was icy as she said calmly, "Jiang Li is the Queen Mother's nephew, so let's just spare his life for now!"

"However, his position as Captain of the Dragon Guard must be dismissed!"

Hear the string song and know its elegant meaning.

Qingying immediately understood what the empress meant.

This is an attempt to use Jiang Li's life as a bargaining chip to exchange interests with the Queen Mother and the Jiang family.

What the empress wanted was a captain position in the Longxiong Guard.

Although this captain is only of the fifth rank.

The number of troops under his command was only 500.

But you have to know that the entire Longxiong Guard is firmly controlled by the Queen Mother.

If the other side gives up a captain,

That would be like letting the empress drive a nail into it.

After Qingying knew the empress's intention, she asked a question in response to her words.

"Your Majesty, who do you think should take over Jiang Li's position as captain?"

Ying Yue hesitated for a moment and asked, "How is Li Changsheng?"

Qingying was startled when she heard this and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Li Changsheng is still a eunuch. Asking him to be a captain of the Dragon Guard is probably not appropriate, right?"

Ying Yue's expression flashed with displeasure as she said, "There's no law that prohibits eunuchs from serving as captains of the Imperial Guards. So why can't Li Changsheng be one?"

Qingying carefully considered her words and said, "There has never been a precedent of eunuchs commanding the military throughout all dynasties!"

In fact, before this, there was a eunuch who was in charge of the troops.

But she didn't dare say it out loud.

Otherwise, Li Changsheng’s life would be in danger.

That eunuch was Lao Ai, Marquis of Changxin of the Qin Dynasty.

This person took control of the military power of the Lishan camp.

Moreover, he had an affair with the Queen Mother.

She even gave birth to two sons.

In the end, Lao Ai even intended to rebel.

And now, Li Changsheng vaguely has some of the shadow of Lao Ai.

If he had an affair with the Queen Mother and had a child.

When the time comes, the consequences will be unimaginable.

It is precisely because of this that Qingying is trying her best to stop this.

However, Ying Yue had made up her mind.

"Since there is no precedent, then I will set this precedent!"

"His Majesty……"

Qingying wanted to persuade him again, but she was interrupted by the empress just as she called out "Your Majesty".

"Qingying, you don't need to say any more. The Dragon Guard is completely under the control of the Queen Mother. I can't sleep or eat in peace!"

Seeing that His Majesty had made up his mind, Qingying stopped trying to persuade him.

The empress didn't want to waste any more time on this matter, so she changed the subject.

"Qingying, tomorrow is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. The Queen Mother asked me to marry Xie Wanqing, so please go down and arrange the date!"

Qingying clasped his fists and bowed: "Yes!"
