Chapter 68
Royal Palace.

A figure stood among the layers of golden curtains.

The burning sandalwood in the hall curled up, and rows of candle lamps reflected the whole room extremely brightly.

The golden thread embroidered with golden dragons on the veil shines brightly under the light of candle lamps.

"Li Lanyi." Emperor Jinming said.

"The servant is here." Li Lan said softly.

"Tell me, how did the Minister of the Ministry of War die?"

His voice was ethereal, like the sound of heaven, echoing in the empty room.

"This... I don't know..." Li Lan smiled, "Master Liang has a straight temper, and it is easy to offend people. But after all, Mr. Liang is a person handpicked by His Majesty... The slave thinks that no one in the court will fight with you." Your Majesty is going against it. That must be the result of the Golden Eagle Division's current transfer, the slave is revenged for love..."

"There is no one in the court? Revenge for love?" Emperor Jin Ming's voice could not be heard, "Have you elected a new minister of the Ministry of War?"

"It's... Lord Ye." Probably because he was worried that Emperor Jin Ming didn't know him, Li Lanyi continued to add, "Song Shoufu's brother-in-law. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to marry the third girl from the Ye family as Liangdi."

"I just married the Tao family's daughter, so I'm going to have Ye family's idea again so soon."

His tone was steady, but Li Lanyi smelled a hint of danger in it.

The air in the hall seemed to freeze.

"Your Majesty, it seems that His Royal Highness sent Yangxi Pills." Li Lanyi decided to say something to break the deadlock.Then he took a small sandalwood box from the hand of the little eunuch behind him, "It is said that it seems that Wang ascended Wangyue Mountain and asked for it from the Taoist temple in the mountain."

The person in the tent did not speak.

Li Lan glanced at the person with his back turned to him, stepped forward cautiously, and put the sandalwood box on the small table beside the curtain.

"He has a heart." Emperor Jinming said slowly, "Let's go out."

"Yes." Li Lan stepped back step by step until he walked out of the palace.

Outside the hall, the little eunuch immediately stepped forward when he saw Li Lan come out.

"Godfather, it seems that His Royal Highness has invited you."

"Okay." Li Lan nodded and walked through the long corridor.

Going around to the side hall, it looks like the king is holding a tea bowl, wanting to drink or not.

"Like His Royal Highness Wanan." Li Lan bowed and saluted.

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." Wang Si hurriedly helped him up, "Eunuch Li, I wonder if my father is satisfied with the Yangxi Pill?"

"It seems that Wang has found it so hard, so he is naturally satisfied." Li Lan smiled.

"Father knows about the Ministry of War, right?" Si Wang smiled and looked up at Li Lanyi.

"Naturally, after all the rumors are raging in the outside world, Your Highness, you also deliberately wrote the booklet." Li Lan said, "The key point is that His Highness the Crown Prince still let Lord Ye take the position of Minister of War."

"Hehe~" The corner of Wang Wang's lips curled up, and he smiled gloatingly, "Is there a rift between Father and him?"

"Not good."

"Master Li."

"Don't dare to be." Li Lanyi bowed her body very low, "The servant girl is just a eunuch, not worthy of the title 'adult'."

"It's worth it." Seeing Wang Zhong patted him on the shoulder, "Help me well, if I can get to this position in the future, I will definitely let you... under one person, above ten thousand people."

"Thank you, Your Highness Siwang!" Li Lan lifted up his clothes, knelt on the ground, and saluted a lot.

As a person close to Emperor Jin Ming, Li Lanyi gave him such a big gift, which was tantamount to treating him as the prince.

The smile in Wang Si's eyes deepened.

Qi Wangfu.

The deeper the dew, the night is always cold outside the pavilion.

The master bedroom of Wenlan Courtyard was still lit. Cheng Muqing looked at the Tang newspaper that Jinxi had brought, and murmured, "Master Liang has always belonged to His Majesty?"

"No, although His Majesty is now focused on cultivating immortals and not caring about government affairs, Liang Shangshu is still loyal to His Majesty." Jin Xi said, "Now that he is gone, His Royal Highness will support Lord Ye of the Ministry of War."

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that he is the brother-in-law of the first assistant." Jin Xi said, "I also heard... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince intends to take the third girl from the Ye family as Liangdi."

Cheng Muqing's hands shook. She first felt that Tao Yushan would have more younger sisters soon, and then sighed, "He must be too anxious."

As soon as the former Shangshu of the Ministry of War died, he supported his own people.In the eyes of interested people, one might think about it, and one might think that Liang Shangshu's death was caused by the crown prince.After all, the Criminal Ministry is his man.

Pug blinked her eyes and tilted her head in bewilderment.

"If you want to come to the Ministry of War, it's hard to find someone worthy of a high position." Cheng Muqing threw the Tang newspaper into the brazier.I also remembered that on the day of the wedding banquet, Lin Yan left for the Liang family, saying that he would arrange someone to take the position of Minister of the Ministry of War...

At that time, he had already decided to let Master Ye replace him, right?

The flames were so hot that it quickly burned the Tang newspaper to ashes.

"The girl doesn't seem to be as happy as before." Jin Xi couldn't help but said.

"Really?" Cheng Muqing smiled, "Maybe it's because there have been a lot of things recently."

"That's also the minister of the court, the emperor should think about it." Jinxi stepped forward and undressed him, "The princess and the prince should stay away from these gossips, and just be happy every day."

Cheng Muqing smiled when he heard the words, "Go and call Mingchen."

In Bashu, the time is still early, the sky is not yet fully bright, and there are layers of flocculent white clouds floating in the misty sky.

The clouds are white and neatly arranged.

"Boom boom-"

The originally quiet mountain village suddenly shook violently, chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs ran around, dogs barking and chickens crowing endlessly.

Not long after, the house shook, and the flat ground cracked one after another with tiny cracks.

The gravel rolled down and fell into the gap.

In the house, people kept running out.

The whole of Bashu is filled with the shouts of people, the crackling of the earth, and the screams of animals.

Houses and trees collapsed one after another, turned into ashes, and gray smoke was everywhere.

……

The capital, the imperial palace.

Early in the morning, news came from the southwest that the earth dragon had turned over, followed by a notice about disaster relief.The household department is extremely busy, preparing disaster relief money and food for disaster relief.

Zhao Liangxu prepared the official silver, locked it, and looked up at Cao Da, "Cao Shilang, congratulations."

"Master Zhao, what do you mean?" Cao Da was still holding a thick piece of paper in his hand. Hearing him greet him now, his heart skipped a beat.

"His Royal Highness asked you to escort the relief money to Bashu, isn't it just because of you?"

"My lord is joking, His Royal Highness is just giving you a chance to exercise next time."

"Then you should cherish it."

Cao Da smiled, turned around and continued to work seriously.

……

On the day of climbing Chonghua Mountain, the weather was unusually clear.The gentle warm sun shines on people, making them warm and comfortable.

"It's almost spring."

The carriage walked slowly up the hill.

Cheng Muqing lifted the curtain of the car and saw the originally bare mountains with faint green spots, feeling the coming of spring.She looked back and saw Lin Heng sitting quietly, staring straight at her hands, in a daze for some reason.

"Lin Heng." Cheng Muqing raised his elbow and yelled at him, "What are you thinking?"

"Ah?" Lin Heng tensed up, looked at her, and shook his head violently, "No! Nothing!"

"Heh~ What's your name?" How nervous are you?Cheng Muqing pouted at him, "Ever since you got on this carriage, you've been restless. What's the matter? Isn't it a good thing for us to break up that relationship?"

Lin Heng wanted to nod subconsciously, but her thin lips were tightly pressed together.He put his arms around his chest, bowed his head and said nothing.

"What on earth do you care about?"

"Will you still... be with me forever?"

Cheng Muqing's mind turned quickly, she thought——

Is he afraid that after I untie him, I will no longer protect him?

"Of course, we are husband and wife." Cheng Muqing smiled, "I will protect you well."

again this sentence...

Lin Heng lowered his head, his long eyelashes covered the complicated emotions in his eyes.

"You don't want to break the symbiotic bond between us?" Cheng Muqing asked.

He had suffered so many grievances in the past, and after he appeared, his life became much easier.He is afraid that if he kills the donkey himself and leaves him alone, he will become a sheep to be slaughtered again, right?

"No." Lin Heng quickly shook his head, "No..."
