The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 148
After listening to Ning Yuezhao's words, Lu Ji hurriedly got up from his seat, walked to the center of the hall, and solemnly knelt down and kowtowed, "My minister is confused, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

It's not that he doesn't want to be an official, it's just that the official position in exchange for his relative's life makes him feel like sitting on pins and needles every day.

"Get up." Ning Yuezhao said a little tiredly: "If you really feel uncomfortable in this court, I can let you go."

At first, she had to give Lu Ji a position as a sixth-rank editor, and she really wanted to make up for it, but later when she publicly exposed An Chen Beiqi's identity as a secret agent, Lu Ji also stepped forward.Just now seeing that he was careful in doing things again, Ning Yuezhao began to put more emphasis on him, but was misunderstood unexpectedly.

Lu Ji got up according to his words, but shook his head, "No, I won't leave." Having said that, he looked at Jiang Nian, "Death cannot be resurrected, and I will continue to stay in the court, but this Shuntian Fu Yin once Now that I have nothing to do, I really can't afford it."

Jiang Nian said lightly, "You haven't tried it yet, so how do you know you can't afford it? Gu feels that you can afford it."

Lu Ji looked at Jiang Nian again with warm eyes, knelt down on his knees again, and said in a trembling voice: "I am very happy for the emperor's love, but it is a fact that I am still inexperienced, and I have just been qualified for the sixth rank. Xiuzhuan, if he becomes the governor of the Shuntian government again, I'm afraid it will cause even more criticism."

Jiang Nian pondered for a while, then compromised: "Then don't promote him for now, and you will temporarily act as Shuntian Governor for a period of time. After you have made political achievements, you will be formally promoted."

Hearing this, Lu Ji clasped his hands tightly by his side, and solemnly kowtowed, "Thank you for your appreciation, my humble servant will be vigilant all day and night, and I will live up to the emperor's grace!"

Ning Yuezhao felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she was the one who wanted to promote him, so how could she be grateful to Jiang Nian?She looked suspiciously at Jiang Nian, then at Lu Ji.She has always known that Jiang Nian is very popular, from Zuo Ming, who she single-handedly promoted, to Lan Yu, the young master of the Miao nationality, to the current Lu Ji.

I always feel like something is wrong.

Jiang Nian smiled, "Get up."

"Thank you Your Highness..."

Just as Lu Ji was about to get up, he met Shang Ning Yuezhao's thoughtful eyes, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. The Empress probably didn't know that he and Jiang Nian met again at the Linzhao River Embankment.It was Jiang Nian who believed in him, concealed it for him, and insisted on rehabilitating the Lu family, that he is what he is today.In the eyes of outsiders, there seems to be a relationship between the empress and the emperor's husband, but it is actually a combination of interests.The restoration of Jiang Nian this time is only for the empress to unite with the Jiang family to deal with Xiao Jingtian.

It was Ning Yuezhao who came up with the idea of ​​promoting himself just now, but he thanked Jiang Nian. Will this arouse the Empress's suspicion of Jiang Nian?

The more Lu Ji thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he still couldn't reveal anything on his face, so he kowtowed again, "Your Majesty is very kind."

When Ning Yuezhao heard Lu Ji's sudden increase in volume, she came back to her senses and watched his eyes sink, "Let's get down."

She was thinking about the relationship between Jiang Nian and these people just now, and she didn't notice who Lu Ji would thank first.

Lu Ji stood up cautiously, cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "The humble minister will take his leave first."

Ning Yuezhao waved her hand, "Go."

After Lu Ji withdrew respectfully, Ning Yuezhao finally said to Jiang Nian sullenly, "Why do I feel that you are more popular than me? From Zuo Ming to today's Lu Ji, I am the first to recognize Damn, why are they all admiring you?"

Jiang Nian walked up to her, stroked her hair, and said with a smile, "Why do you sound like you're jealous? I don't have a habit of splitting my sleeves."

Ning Yuezhao was amused by his words.Indeed, Jiang Nian has always been gentle and generous to others, but not weak, soft but strong, like an ancient sword, which has been honed and weather-beaten over the years, gentle and yet sharp.Who wouldn't want to be close to such a person.Even if he hated him at the beginning because of the emperor's intentional matching, now he is used to having such a person by his side.

Jiang Nian asked, "Why do you want to use the land base again?"

When he said this, he tried his best to maintain a calm tone and expression.In his dream last night, Ning Yuezhao found out about An Chen's conspiracy. Later, he lost his throne and was humiliated and retaliated by An Chen.

If she knew that he was framed in the previous life and the Jiang family was implicated innocently, how would she make up for it?
Ning Yuezhao gave him a strange look, and said: "When I first saw him in Zui Jinchao, I thought he was just a kid from a rich family who was proud of his talent, and this kind of person is suitable for finding a job and waiting to die. Maybe it's because of a big change. I feel that this time he returned to the imperial court, he lost his exaggerated spirit and became more calm. I was very satisfied with his performance in the Chongtian Temple that day. I just watched him do things. I think it is a useful person, so I reuse it.”

Jiang Nian listened silently. He would help Lu Ji at the beginning because they had the same experience.

Some people will be sluggish and negative after experiencing a setback; some people will rise from the setback and achieve a career.

Now it seems that Lu Ji is also a tough character, able to quickly walk out of the shadow of family raids, and now he has worn away the edges and corners of youth and frivolity, and has become calm and cautious. Since he is a talent, it would be a pity not to use it for himself.

"If you don't mention it, I also want to say that I will leave the position of Governor of Shuntian to him."

Ning Yuezhao looked at him sideways and smiled, "I thought of getting together."

"When I was in Linzhao, I met Lu Ji who escaped death. He was recruited as a husband and worked hard on the construction site for half a month, just to wait for me and complain about his grievances." Jiang Nian said lightly about his experience in repairing the embankment. .

After hearing his words, Ning Yuezhao gradually felt relieved, "Just say why you came back from Linzhao and insisted on rehabilitating the Lu family. It turns out that someone came to you for justice."

"Well, after I returned to the imperial capital, I asked someone to investigate and found that there was indeed a grievance in the matter of the Lu family, so I pushed this matter hard."

Recalling that when he was at the time of the sign, it was the first time he dreamed of what happened after his own death, and only then did he realize that she had suffered so much grievance.

"Fortunately, Lu Ji didn't die, otherwise my crime would be even greater."

At the beginning, the case of the Lu family was decided by the empress. At that time, she was so focused on her mother's illness that she had no time to think about it.Ning Yuezhao felt a little terrified when she thought about it, "Although this person grew up in rich clothes and rich food, he is also somewhat tenacious and resourceful when things come to an end. Otherwise, how could he pretend to be an imperial capital and lurk on the river embankment?" Hard labor for half a month."

Jiang Nian's thoughts moved slightly, and he suddenly asked cautiously: "Azhao, if I was framed by An Chen earlier, and you didn't believe me, you would have abolished me and given me to death, and ransacked Jiang's family. You found out that I was wronged, what would you do?"

"Why don't I believe you?" Ning Yuezhao shook her head subconsciously, and then remembered something, her face changed slightly, "Isn't this the dream I had before?"

Jiang Nian clenched his palms, trying to make his voice sound more relaxed, "What if that dream is real?"

From time to time, she would dream of scenes from her previous life, which made Jiang Nian very disturbed.

Ning Yuezhao lowered her eyes and thought for a while, but didn't notice Jiang Nian's slight abnormality.

At the end, she sighed softly, "If you were really blind and deceived to do such a thing, the only thing I can give you is to restore the title and rectify the name of the Jiang family."

Is it just that?A trace of injury flashed across Jiang Nian's eyes.

It's a good thing not to mention it, once Ning Yuezhao started to recall the plot of the dream, Ning Yuezhao felt that the scenes became vivid, and strong emotions filled her chest, making her almost out of breath.

"Jiang Nian, let's go back, I feel a little uncomfortable." Ning Yuezhao pressed his forehead, closed his eyes, and frowned slightly.

"Okay." Jiang Nian quickly regained his composure, and took Ning Yuezhao's arm out of the Yizheng Hall.

After dinner that night, Ning Yuezhao sat on the Luohan bed in the dormitory, listening to Bitao's report about the New Year.

"This one, it will be over in a blink of an eye." Ning Yuezhao said with emotion as she flipped through the brochure that Bitao handed over.

"Because it coincides with the death of the late emperor, this year's New Year, the slaves think it's better to keep it simple."

Ning Yuezhao quickly flipped through the booklet in her hand, and handed it to Bitao, "My aunt is an old man in the palace. In the past, my aunt also took care of the New Year in the palace, so I will do as you say."

"Yes." Bitao took the brochure, and looked at her carefully again, "Your Majesty has been growing well in the past half month, and his spirit is much better than before."

Ning Yuezhao touched her face unconsciously. Although there are endless government affairs to worry about now, those messy things have been dealt with, so she is naturally in good spirits.

Bitao glanced at Jiang Nian who was sitting next to him again, and said earnestly: "Your Highness has lost a lot of weight recently, and has been ill again, and his face is so ugly. You all need to take good care of yourself, don't rely on it." You waste your body when you're young."

After hearing what she said, Ning Yuezhao turned her head to look at Jiang Nian, only to see that he looked preoccupied, and couldn't help frowning: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Jiang Nian covered his lips and coughed twice, "No, it's just the wind and cold, and it will be fine tomorrow."

At this moment, Jing Ming came in, saluted the two of them and said, "Your Highness, Qifeng Palace has been packed."

Ning Yuezhao looked at Jiang Nian, "Are you going back to Qifeng Palace to rest tonight?"

Jiang Nian smiled at her, "Isn't my wind and cold still not healed, I'm afraid I will give you the sickness."

Ning Yuezhao's gaze sank. After returning from the Yizheng Hall, she felt that Jiang Nian was a little depressed.Was it because of her answer that he was hurt?What a sick mind!She Zhao shook her head, "It's not necessary, it's just your coldness, it's fine."

It was contagious last night, and now Jiang Nian's symptoms have eased, so she is not afraid.

Seeing her indifferent expression, Jiang Nian suddenly felt that he was too petty, so he relieved and said, "Okay."

Bitao pretended to cough twice, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Doctor Fu told me that His Majesty's body still needs to be cultivated, and this servant ordered someone to clean up the next room."

Her words euphemistically reminded Fu Liao of his will, intercourse is temporarily prohibited!

Jiang Nian took a deep breath, this Fu Liao!
"Auntie, you have your own sense of propriety." Although Jiang Nian's voice was soft, his tone was unquestionable.

Bitao embraced the booklet, bowed and said: "Yes, the servant ordered someone to serve His Majesty and His Highness to bed."

After taking the medicine respectively, the two went to bed together after washing and changing clothes.

I don't know if it was because he was worried about the wind and cold or something else, Jiang Nian was honest for a rare time, he just put his arms around Ning Yuezhao's waist from behind, sniffed the fragrance of her body, and fell into a deep sleep not long after.

But the nightmare came again, this time it was different from before.

In the twilight, the night was as dark as ink, and Jiang Nian walked in a forest with one deep foot and one light foot.

There was a light mist in front of him, as if someone was standing with his hands behind his back.

Jiang Nian stood still, looked at the person in front of him, frowned and said, "Who are you?"

"Hehe." The man let out a cold laugh, turned his head, his brows and eyes were indifferent, and the corners of his mouth were full of sarcasm, "If she knows what you have done, do you still expect her to forgive you?"

Jiang Nian fell into the ice cellar in an instant, and the blood in his body froze.

This is clearly his face, that indifferent and mocking expression is exactly what he used to hang on his face in his previous life!
