Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Inside the Golden Palace, all the ministers lowered their heads, waiting for Shen Jin's move on the dragon throne, not daring to breathe.

This remnant is truly lawless. I don't know what kind of evil method he used, but he managed to avoid the palace guards in broad daylight and shot a copper arrow from the sky, straight at the plaque with the word "open and aboveboard" in the middle.

If Shen Jin himself had not been good at fighting and had not intercepted the bronze arrow, Daluo would have lost all his face.

"Your Highness, how can you tolerate such provocation?"

"I, your humble servant, request to be sent on an expedition to annihilate the remnants of the Western Dynasty!" The speaker trembled with anger, his body trembling as if he would collapse at any moment. Sending such a person to the battle would likely mean he wouldn't even be able to mount a horse, and would have to carry a coffin back to the capital first. With such momentum, he became a bargaining chip to force Shen Jin into action.

Look, the old men in the court have gone to such lengths, so why do you, the former general and now the crown princess, delay sending out troops until after the Fengshan ceremony?

Shen Jin didn't say anything. She took a letter of declaration of war from the tip of the arrow.

White paper and cinnabar, extremely outrageous.

First, she ridiculed Luo Chao for being a man of few talents, saying that a seven-foot-tall man was actually suppressed by a woman from the cold palace. Then she ridiculed Luo Shou for being a vicious woman, saying that she had the nerve to sit on the throne after stealing other people's achievements. It was said that she had assembled a large army and would capture the capital of Luo Chao in less than three days.

He doesn't look like a remnant, but rather a rebel leader who has no choice but to rise up in rebellion to save the country.

The dragon throne sat nine steps above the courtiers, its golden jade curtains hanging down. The emperor's expression could only be discerned through a glimpse of the veil. But the situation was different for everyone from Shen Jin's perspective. Even the jade curtains couldn't conceal the absurdity of the court.

She suddenly felt a little bored, and a sense of violence arose in her heart.

She believed she had a sure win, and that she had no choice but to leave Kyoto as they wished. She didn't even bother to hide her feelings, and beneath her ferocious face was uncontrollable ecstasy. She didn't know if there were any remnants, but it was a fact that these people were tired of living.

The most precious thing for a young person is time, and what she hates most now is that she is still a teenager. She seems to have a bright future, but due to lack of time, she is unable to form her own unified faction, which has led to her current passive situation, allowing anyone to plot against her.

Shen Jin suddenly felt that this kind of thing had happened more than once.

But what can she do now?

After the troops she had personally nurtured defended the border, she was able to bring very few back to the capital. Her men would return when called upon, but to do so would mean the border they had conquered would be lost again. She would not let her colleagues' efforts go to waste, nor would she want to see the people return to the chaos of war. She was the General Qi Guang, personally elected by them.

So the border guards cannot move.

It seems that the only way is to lead the army in person.

Shen Jin rarely hesitated. There was always another voice in her heart, and that voice gradually overlapped with Xiao Jiangran's request for help in Qi Guang Hall that night.

"Enshrine the Buddha as scheduled."

The two voices said so.

Suddenly, the tightly closed gate of the Golden Throne Hall was kicked open. A beam of light poured in, illuminating the swirling dust. Beneath the light and shadow, a figure calmly retracted his left leg.

"It's funny."

He looked calm as he slowly walked towards the throne room amidst the shocked and surprised gazes of the crowd.

Shen Jin saw the guards chasing Xiao Jiangran to the door, and waved them away with a headache.

It's useless if you can't even keep an eye on one person.

Last night, Xiao Jiangran challenged her to a fight, but she obviously refused and even put him in solitary confinement to keep him in line. A battlefield, a place where people kill without blinking an eye, was it possible for a fool with such poor skills to go there and still smile and count the money after being tricked?

Last night, in Qi Guang Palace.

Shen Jin sat on a high chair, looking down at Xiao Jiangran's stubborn eyes.

She was silent for a few seconds before she spoke: "Why, are you dissatisfied with the favor I have given you and despise my position as the emperor's servant? Do you want to be a general in the court?"

Xiao Jiangran's ears were still red, but he didn't show it on his face: "I can't have both?"

"Don't be too greedy, Shen Huang."

What does Shen Huang’s affairs have to do with him, Xiao Jiangran?

He said, "I just want to go to the place you most want, my highness."

Shen Jin withdrew his hand in an almost embarrassed manner: "Come here, take him out. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of Qi Guang Hall."

......

She had long known that the man was arrogant and daring because of his favor, but she never thought that he broke into her study that night and dared to break into the throne room the next day. Did he really think she had no temper?

Xiao Jiangran made no secret of his identity as one of Shen Jin's concubines. He wore the exclusive totem of Qi Guang Palace directly on his chest, where it could be seen at a glance. He wore white clothes and black hair, and had a slender figure, looking like a scholar with jade-like appearance.

This man should be writing something instead of kicking the door of the Golden Palace with a murderous look on his face.

"Your Highness, I believe that I am the best candidate to go to war."

Xiao Jiangran spoke, confirming his status as a male concubine.

"As for status, I am your man, representing your dignity. However, how can I trouble you to personally fight against these remaining villains? Simply sending me to kill them will be enough to show my dignity."

"As for ability, as a man of yours, I must possess abilities beyond those of ordinary men. If you allow, I can set up an arena in the city. Anyone dissatisfied with my leadership can come and fight. I will make them lose with conviction..."

Xiao Jiangran kept calling him "your man" and "slave", which made her eyelids twitch.

Why don't I usually see him like this, uh, polite and law-abiding?

"How can someone who can't even defeat me be qualified to challenge His Highness?"

Xiao Jiangran waved his sleeves, "I know you're unhappy with me." He was half a head taller than the other ministers, and with his back straight and head held high, he truly had an air of superiority. "Seeing you all...are old and have stood here for so long, I'll let you have a hand. Just push me out of the palace gate, and I'll do whatever you want with me. How do you do that?"

"Shen Huang, step back."

Shen Jin had already stood up, and the jade curtain was pulled hard, making a chaotic sound.

"Your Highness, you don't believe me?"

Towards Shen Jin, he returned to his weak self.

"Your Highness is young, and you must have been deceived by a lowly slave like him into taking you into the palace. Not only are you ungrateful, but you have even disrespected His Highness. At such a critical moment, what are your intentions in spreading lies and misleading the people?"

Xiao Jiangran temporarily gave up on Shen Jin and looked at the person who was speaking.

"Minister Lu, His Highness Sun and Moon can see my heart clearly, but yours? It's just a matter of looking through my belly, how can I tell right from wrong? Lord Lu's methods of making money are beyond my reach. I heard that Lord Lu had to send two men to carry away the golden hammer from Mingxiang Pavilion the other day. How about holding a treasure-viewing banquet or a strength-building banquet someday so that I can also test my strength?"

"Oh yes, Lord Yang."

Xiao Jiangran turned his head and looked at the other one who was ready to make a move, and took the initiative to ask: "How is the marriage going, young master?"

Of course, these minions were not his ultimate goal: "The Prime Minister is getting healthier and healthier."

"I've heard that the Western Dynasty possesses a miraculous elixir that strengthens the body and prolongs life. If I defeat those remnants, I will certainly recover one to honor your hard work and achievements. However, this miraculous elixir has some unsavory side effects."

Xiao Jiangran narrowed his eyes and scanned the Prime Minister's body, staring at him until his stomach tightened. "It's just a little soft and it might affect your offspring. But fortunately, you're old enough not to be affected. Be careful if the younger ones at home accidentally eat it."

......

The court was silent for a moment. The next second, they started fighting.

Of course, Xiao Jiangran challenged everyone alone.

Not to mention this group of civil officials, he slapped even the military generals one by one.

After a long time, this one-sided fight was finally stopped by Shen Jin.

Naturally, she wanted to comfort her subjects.

So Shen Jin asked, "Are you injured?"

Xiao Jiangran, the only one who was fully dressed, regained his gentle demeanor and said, "No."

Then he answered for them: "The adults are all in good health too."

Shen Jin asked, "Do you have any objections?"

In the silence, there was an occasional sound of inhalation. Xiao Jiangran's eyes were fixed on everyone who tried to speak.

"It seems not."

"Then it's up to you. Before the sun sets, you will face everyone's challenge. If you stand till the end, I will personally select your troops and award you medals tomorrow."

"As ordered, Your Highness."
