Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

The Song army led the vanguard, like a divine force descending from the sky, temporarily resisting the Qiang army's attack. When the main force arrived, they immediately recaptured the territory, and victory reports came in frequently.

The emperor ordered Song Zeming to return to Beijing to report on his work before New Year's Eve.

"Your Majesty, this achievement is the work of one man. This man has been smelting iron for generations, and the quality of the ironware he forges far surpasses all others. Please see."

He presented two pieces of iron.

Song Zeming was seen colliding the iron pieces together. Without much force, one of the slightly blue iron pieces was scratched and broke in the middle the next moment.

"The broken piece is the material used to make the weapons of the Western Frontier Army, and this piece is the improved new iron."

The emperor was delighted. "God bless our nation with such a talent! If he is here, summon him to see me!"

"But that man has a disability. I hope Your Majesty will forgive his disrespect."

The emperor stroked his long beard cheerfully: "No problem, no problem."

Xiao Jiangran and Song Zeming exchanged glances inconspicuously, and then sent Gongsun Ye to meet him.

The long-forgotten injustice was brought up again. Xiao Jiangran had already handed the evidence to Song Zeming long before.

He dropped to his knees with a clang. "I failed in my duty as an inspector and failed to discover the persecution. This resulted in our army being temporarily left behind and humiliated by the Qiang army. The border is in turmoil, and the people are suffering from the war. I bear this responsibility, even if I die. I beg for your punishment."

After he apologized, the whole matter officially escalated to the national level.

The emperor couldn't help but wonder, if the Song army hadn't been equipped, would the Qiang army have been able to break through Yushan Pass, march straight into the capital?

And this could have been avoided!

All of this evidence shows that it was our army that should have been well-equipped! It was our army that razed the Qiang territory!

But now, his western front has collapsed. Although he has managed to recover it, it is unknown how long it will take to recover.

The emperor's heart was bleeding.

"Punish! Punish me severely!"

He slammed the table and stood up, and the officials were so scared that they knelt down again.

"Prince Ping, Prime Minister, have I ever treated you unfairly?"

When Ye Yunzhong saw Gongsun Ye, he knew he was finished. Everything was over. After the Rongshan incident, Zhang Ru was investigated. He immediately distanced himself from the matter. He was also worried that Xiao Jiangran would know more, so he opposed him at every turn.

Now, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Jiangran who was kneeling beside him. Was it his doing such a bold thing as filing a complaint in the Golden Palace?

Xiao Jiangran looked at him and smiled, "Good news. As you expected, I do have evidence of you and Prince Ping transferring the refined iron."

"Another good news, the Song family army has already visited Laoniu Mountain. Xiao would like to thank you for your selfless dedication."

Laoniu Mountain is where they store their troops and hide their weapons.

Xiao Jiangran lowered his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it.

"you……"

Ye Yunzhong shook his head, lowered his head with a dejected look, and said nothing more.

Xiao Jiangran was pardoned and stood up.

Above, the emperor's punishment is being announced.

Prince Ping Zhu Qiyan stripped him of his status as a prince, demoted him to a commoner, and exiled him to Canggu Prefecture. For the next five generations, he was not allowed to go to school or engage in politics.

The entire Ye family was exiled to Canggu Prefecture. Ye Yunzhong dismissed the Prime Minister from his post, and all officials implicated were executed.

"Xiao Jiangran, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself from your crimes. You must investigate the officials involved in this matter, and make sure no one is left out."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

……

Since the new mansion was assigned, Xiao Jiangran moved there, and Shen Jin was forced to move as well.

After the small house was vacant, Xiao Jiangran, who was busy with official duties, took a few days off and built a wooden house on the peach tree himself.

Shen Jin would lie in the wooden house when she had free time during the day, and this small courtyard had almost become her residence.

Now, she was sitting cross-legged on the peach tree, stroking the peach branch beside her legs, which had become quite smooth due to her years of fiddling with it. "It's almost over."

The weather in the capital has changed.

However, the outside world's disturbances were kept outside the courtyard, and it remained quiet here.

The peach tree had grown another ring of growth rings, returning to its grayish appearance when Shen Jin had first seen it. The difference was that she and Xiao Jiangran had once lain under the tree together, their faces covered in peach blossoms.

The task list showed the number of corrupt officials as (10/10). In terms of her life, these ten people were merely the starting point of Xiao Jiangran's insignificant career; in terms of everything else, they were the maximum she could expect to stay here...

Xiao Jiangran had been working non-stop in the cabinet for seven days and hadn't even returned to the house. Shen Jin had lost interest in eating and had been lying flat in the cabin for seven days.

Shen Jin woke up again, having slept so soundly that he didn't know what day it was. When he looked up, he saw only twinkling stars. It was already late at night.

I subconsciously looked towards the courtyard, but unexpectedly found a warm yellow light coming through the window.

She jumped straight to the door, but suddenly stopped when she pushed it open. Her fingertips lightly pressed against the wooden door, and she kept moving. Suddenly, her heartbeat quickened.

Shen Jin closed his eyes and carefully sensed the rare full and warm emotions.

"Why don't you come in?"

Xiao Jiangran opened the door first.

The work was quite torturous. A dark stubble had sprouted from his chin, and he was completely exhausted. There were wrinkles on his sleeves from being pressed, and a few strands of hair had slipped out of his crown and hung in front of him.

You can tell at first glance that he's just lying on the table waiting.

Shen Jin suddenly hugged his waist: "I think you need my hug."

"Ah."

Xiao Jiangran responded, relaxed, and pressed his body against hers.

"Why don't you sleep?"

"Want to wait for you."

"What if I don't come?"

"Shen Jin." Xiao Jiangran suddenly raised his head, pulled away a little, and looked into her eyes: "I don't like hearing this joke."

Shen Jin's eyes flickered: "This is not a joke."

Xiao Jiangran hugged her again and took her to the main seat to sit down together.

Shen Jin didn't struggle, and he held her in his arms. Behind her was a warm and reliable chest. She relaxed and leaned back, leaning against his shoulder.

"One year."

Xiao Jiangran gently wrapped her hair around her: "I will wait for you for a year."

"If you don't come, I will forget you."

"Then marry and have children, and own the country and beautiful women?" Shen Jin also lifted up the long hair in front of his chest and played with it.

"Yes. I will be a qualified emperor." Harem offspring are also part of his political career. If Shen Jin hadn't appeared, he would have been like this, Xiao Jiangran thought.

As for whether it can be forgotten?

Who knows what the future holds…

"Not bad." Shen Jin nodded with satisfaction. This was the look of Xiao Jiangran in the plot.

Xiao Jiangran pressed against her shoulder and tried to bite her hard through her clothes. How could she be satisfied with such a heartless and heartless answer?

But when he touched her, he still couldn't bear it. So he just held it lightly in his mouth, wetting her clothes.

Shen Jin felt like he was patting a puppy, stroking the top of his head: "That's a good idea, but unfortunately, I won't give you the chance to be emperor."

"Oh?"

Xiao Jiangran raised his head, staring at Shen Jin with burning eyes, and hinted: "In this world, no one can stop me except you, Shen Jin. Unless you kill me with your own hands."

"Hahaha!" Shen Jin suddenly laughed and kissed his chin: "Xiao Jiangran, you are so good, but I will kidnap you."
