Princess Promotion

Yao Chuguang was strolling around the border city with nothing to do, and when he came across the bounty notice board, he suddenly saw it.

There were three portraits of varying ages with bounties on them. The first one was of her, charged with theft, with a reward of five thousand taels!?

The second picture is Li Yinhan, who is accused of stealing flowers and has a reward of 10,000 taels of silver. Why is Li Yinhan higher than himself?

The third one is... Yao Chuguang looked carefully for a while before realizing that it was Xiao Liang!

He turned out to be a flower thief, and the reward for him was eight thousand taels of silver.

So her bounty is the lowest! ?

Yao Chuguang felt that he was very successful. It was okay to be wanted in his own territory, but he didn't expect that the reward amount was still the lowest.

If we specifically send someone to remove the wanted warrant, it would be too fussy and might cause misunderstandings. If we ignore it, maybe no one will notice it after a while and it will just pass.

If she gave the order to deal with it, and if it was noticed by someone with ulterior motives, it would be recorded in history.

The current empress was once a wanted criminal. Just thinking about this scene would make the ministers suffocate.

Yao Chuguang decided to stay out of public view from today onwards and pretend that nothing had happened.

At the same time, Lord Xiao also saw the wanted poster.

A gust of wind blew, and the conscienceless thing finally extended its claws to his grandson, who was well-educated and of high moral character.

Elder Xiao covered his heart with his hands. His poor grandson said, "It was your grandfather's incompetence that failed to protect you."

Elder Xiao propped himself up, his eyes red as he made up his mind: This matter must be covered up!

The thought of a hundred years later when I thought about the history books writing that the important officials of the dynasty and the empress were once wanted criminals made me feel uncomfortable.

Elder Xiao only felt a blackness before his eyes.

In the middle of the night, Lord Xiao put on his nightgown and sneaked out without disturbing anyone.

This was the first time that Lord Xiao had done such a thing, and he was a little panicked, looking around for fear of being discovered.

Seeing that there was no one around, he walked towards the bulletin board and tore down all three wanted posters.

Originally, Lord Xiao only planned to tear up the wanted poster of his grandson, but then he thought that his grandson must have been implicated by Yao Chuguang or Li Yinhan.

But in the eyes of others, they are in the same group.

If we only tear up Xiao Liang's wanted poster, it might attract unnecessary attention.

To be on the safe side, I tore them all off and pretended that they were blown away by the wind due to age.

In the past, servants would help Lord Xiao do this kind of thing, but this time he didn't bring anyone out. The fewer people who knew about it, the better.

And this was not a difficult task, so Lord Xiao decided to handle it himself.

Yan Mingzhe, who had been following Lord Xiao, was completely confused when he saw this scene.

At night, Yan Mingzhe discovered that Lord Xiao sneaked out of the house. Although he did not suspect that Lord Xiao was a spy, he was still a little worried and followed him.

I didn't expect that Lord Xiao would go to the bulletin board in the middle of the night just to tear off a few wanted posters.

Could it be that Lord Xiao suffers from sleepwalking?

But it doesn't look like he has this disease.

Could it be that this wanted poster contains a hidden secret?

The next day, Yan Mingzhe privately found the yamen runner on duty and asked about the wanted order in a casual manner.

The bailiff said that although the wanted warrants had been issued for the three people, they had now been withdrawn.

Because there are no new wanted criminals and there has been a war recently, these three old wanted posters have been hanging.

Yan Mingzhe asked, "Has the wanted order been revoked because the person has been apprehended?"

The bailiff shook his head and said, "No, that's not the case. The officials who issued the warrants were either confiscated or dismissed and beheaded. Just recently, many people traveled thousands of miles to Yundu City to file a complaint."

Yan Mingzhe nodded to indicate that he had also heard of this case.

Considering the time when the wanted warrant was issued, these people are most likely wanted for helping the civilians who filed the complaint.

That's why he was framed as a thief by the corrupt official.

Yan Mingzhe said that he was a little curious about the person on the wanted poster. The yamen officer said that there were two more posters kept in the yamen, which were useless now, so he gave them to Yan Mingzhe.

Yan Mingzhe thanked him repeatedly and took the wanted poster to take a look.

There was a man and a woman, who looked quite young, and they were looking for the one with the highest bounty.

What unspeakable relationship do these three people have with Lord Xiao?

It seems that Lord Xiao was also involved in the case of the people filing a complaint with the emperor. Maybe Lord Xiao tacitly supported it from the beginning to the end.

But unexpectedly, things went wrong and the clues were found by those corrupt officials.

This was only then revealed. It seems that these three people may have an inseparable relationship with Lord Xiao.

This is why Lord Xiao rushed out in the middle of the night to destroy the wanted order. He only needed to trace the suspect here.

Although Lord Xiao's methods were dishonorable, it was ultimately for the people.

Yan Mingzhe thought of the nervous look on Lord Xiao's face, and perhaps he would know the relationship between these three people and Lord Xiao soon.

Yao Chuguang sat on the city wall, sipping tea leisurely, gently turning the pages of the book in her hand. The sunlight shone on her face, casting a faint golden glow between her eyebrows.

Below the city wall is a bustling market where the sounds of hawking, chatting, laughing, and horse hooves interweave into a lively symphony.

The general hurried up, his face filled with unconcealable joy. "Great victory, Your Majesty! The Western Frontier Army has been defeated!"

Yao Chuguang put down the teacup, looked away from the book and looked up at the sky.

Yao Chuguang's voice was calm and filled with joy as she said, "Reward the troops!"

The general replied respectfully, "Yes, I will pass the order on immediately."

Yao Chuguang slowly stood up and lowered his gaze from the sky to the left.

After a long time, Yao Chuguang said something nonchalantly, "General, please write a letter for me."

I, the general, am a little confused. Why does Your Majesty suddenly want to write a letter?

Don’t we usually give instructions orally or ask Eunuch Feng to convey the order?

Although the general was puzzled, he still followed Yao Chuguang's instructions out of habit and asked, "Your Majesty, who are you sending this letter to?"

Yao Chuguang slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a lazy and calm look, "King Yan!"

Suddenly, the general's nerves were stretched to the extreme.

The general realized something instantly and even breathed softly, fearing he would disturb the decision-making of the person before him. He asked, "Your Majesty, what do you want to write in the letter?"

Yao Chuguang put down the teacup and whispered softly, "Fight or surrender!"
