Chapter 19

Although Fu Liao was straightforward, he was not stupid, and soon understood what Jiang Nian meant.

"Actually, you don't need to find him an easy job. The medical office is so tiring. After a while, he will naturally resign and leave." Fu Liao couldn't understand Jiang Nian's "holy father" mentality.

"In short, just do what I say." Jiang Nian couldn't explain too much to him, Ning Yuezhao had already noticed that something was wrong with An Chen.That woman looked strong on the surface, but she was actually very soft-hearted. Anyway, An Chen would be released from the medical office sooner or later, so she could be a favor.

"Okay, I'll go talk to my dad in a while." Fu Liao was straightforward, and it was a matter of one word, so he was helping his brother.

Besides, Lu Jiansheng, the servant of the Ministry of War who was at home behind closed doors because of being impeached, originally thought that he was just a matter of style, so he reprimanded his aunt Song and asked her to go to Shuntian Mansion to withdraw the pleadings.The "son" of unknown origin was also kicked out by Lu Jiansheng, and then Lu Jiansheng raised Liu's face in front of everyone.Liu also knows that if this hurdle cannot be overcome, everyone will have to play it to the end, which indicates that she has also mobilized her natal family's strength to tide over the difficulty together.

After dealing with all this, Lu Jiansheng returned to his study contentedly and began to write a notebook, deeply reflected on his mistakes, and expressed painfully that he would definitely reform himself.

When he wrote the last stroke on the notebook, he triumphantly picked up the notebook and blew it up, thinking that when the notebook will be uploaded tomorrow, with the help of Xu Cifu and General Xiao, this matter might be over like this.

While Lu Jiansheng was having a sweet dream, suddenly a group of forbidden troops broke into Lu's house.

"What are you doing? Are you going against the law?" Lu Jiansheng was furious and went up against the case.

The leader of the imperial guards sneered, "It's not us who are rebellious, but you, Master Lu. Under the order of Her Royal Highness, Lu Jiansheng bought the palace maids, destroyed the auspicious omen of the marriage, disrespected the heaven above, and despised the royal family below. Check it out!"

"Nonsense, the old man has never done such a thing!" Lu Jiansheng slapped the table anxiously, "The old man is the servant of the Ministry of War, even if the queen wants to touch me, she must weigh it!"

The imperial army directly belongs to the royal family, but it doesn't matter who you are.

"You have grievances, go to Dali Temple and talk about it!"

Before Lu Jiansheng was tied up and taken out, the chief guard said this coldly.

After receiving the news from the Imperial Army that Lu Jiansheng's family had been taken into prison, Ning Yuezhao was serving the Empress with medicine in the Dragon Palace.

As the queen's most valued courtier and future son-in-law, Jiang Nian was also summoned to the Dragon Palace.

The Queen's face is still pale at the moment, and her temples are still slightly throbbing, but when she looks at Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian, there is still a hint of a smile on her face.

"Empress, I don't want to let go of the affairs of the Lu family." Ning Yuezhao scooped up a spoonful of concoction, blew on it, and fed it to the empress's mouth.

The queen glanced at her, didn't speak, just drank the spoonful of medicine.

Ning Yuezhao was not in a hurry, and patiently finished the medicine in the bowl.Handing the medicine bowl to the maid, Ning Yuezhao took the handkerchief and carefully wiped the medicine juice off the empress's lips.

Because Lu Jiansheng's case involved the Xiao family, although she ordered someone to control the Lu family first, she did not dare to make a decision.

The queen reached out and rubbed the center of her brows, her voice was tired and hoarse, "According to Jiang Qing's opinion, what should we do about this matter?"

Hearing this, Ning Yuezhao's heart immediately rose to her throat.She knew that Jiang Nian took the plaster to the Imperial Hospital, and that he had doubts about An Chen.When she saw An Chen yesterday, she really couldn't help herself.For this matter last night, she also tossed and turned for a long time.The empress has always valued Jiang Nian, and his opinion is very important at this moment!

Jiang Nian's star-like eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and the corners of his lips were gently drawn, but he did not speak.

The queen was a little puzzled, and asked again: "Jiang Qing?"

Ning Yuezhao looked at Jiang Nian steadily, a thin layer of sweat broke out from her tightly clenched palms, and her face was still forced to be calm.

Jiang Nian smiled, the mist in his eyes dissipated, and his eyes were clear, "Your Majesty, I have discussed this matter with the princess. Xiao Jing's Tianwei can't be lost, and the matter of Lu Jiansheng is an excellent time to strike."

The queen pondered for a while, then looked at Ning Yuezhao, "Azhao, I have already handed over the government affairs to you, what to do is up to you."

At such an age, and with such a body, how can she care about the love for her children when she was young.What she wants now is nothing more than a stable Daxing country and a safe and happy daughter.

When Ning Yuezhao heard the words, she seemed to have been greatly encouraged, and she couldn't help showing joy, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your success."

The corner of the Queen's mouth curled up into a smile, "Thank you, you are old, I am old, and I don't know how long you can last. You have to bear the burden of this country."

Ning Yuezhao said seriously: "Mother, don't worry, I will live up to your trust."

The queen leaned on the soft pillow and asked, her eyes fell on Jiang Nian, "With Jiang Nian assisting you, I am at ease."

Jiang Qingnian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is just running errands, the overall situation still depends on the wise decision of Your Highness the Princess."

Because of what happened to An Chen yesterday, Ning Yuezhao always felt a little uncomfortable when facing Jiang Nian. Seeing him trying to speak for herself now, the guilt in her heart became heavier.

Jiang Nian saw her every move and sighed secretly in his heart.

When Jiang Nian asked the guard to bring back the celadon bottle, he agreed with her without any objection.What's more, she took Lu Jiansheng to the knife this time, and she also meant to attract others.It's a pity that she doesn't understand him, and she doesn't want to spend a little more time trying to figure out his thoughts.

The queen said again: "The Ministry of Rites is already preparing for your big wedding. I want to urge them to hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until the day you get married."

Ning Yuezhao anxiously held her hand and said: "Mother, don't talk stupid things, you will definitely see your sons and ministers get married, and you will also watch the birth of the emperor's grandson, and enjoy the family relationship to the fullest!"

The Empress patted her hand reassuringly and smiled.

For some reason, Ning Yuezhao's nose was sour when she saw this smile.At this moment, she felt a firm and strong hand on her shoulder. She looked up and saw Jiang Nian's star-like eyes were full of smiles.

"Your Majesty will live a long life, and I will always be with Her Majesty the Princess."

After leaving Rising Dragon Hall, Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao walked side by side.

"Thank you for today's matter." After walking for a long time, Ning Yuezhao spoke first.

"Thank me for what?" Jiang Nian couldn't help but smiled, but there was a slight bitterness in his heart, "Your Highness, you and I will soon be married, so naturally we should work together."

"I understand." Ning Yuezhao said resignedly, "I shouldn't have done what happened yesterday."

Jiang Nian knew that she was referring to An Chen, so he said: "Your Highness don't need to worry about An Yu's doctor, I have already made arrangements."

If things went well, Fu Liao should have mentioned this matter to his father by now.

Ning Yuezhao's heart beat a beat slower, but she finally restrained herself and asked, "What arrangement?"

The Jiang family's status in the imperial capital is very hot, and it is easy to deal with a small imperial doctor.

"How else can we arrange it?" Jiang Nian was a little helpless, "The Imperial Hospital is about to rebuild the Pharmacopoeia, and I want him to help. I have asked Imperial Physician Fu to mention this matter."

Hearing this, Ning Yuezhao felt ashamed of what she had just thought.She was also about to secretly make some arrangements for An Chen, but Jiang Nian had already considered it first.

"I'm sorry." Ning Yuezhao said flatly.

Jiang Nian stopped and sighed, "Why do you always have to apologize to me? If you really feel sorry for me, why don't you try to trust me first?"

Jiang Nian's words touched Ning Yuezhao's heart. She never thought about trusting Jiang Nian from the beginning to the end. I'm half sorry about her.

At this time, there was no one around, Jiang Nian continued: "Your Highness, although our marriage is just a deal, we can't get along like this, right?"

Ning Yuezhao looked at the man in Zhilan Yushu in front of him, and finally said seriously: "I will try to trust you."

When Jiang Nian heard the words, the corner of his mouth raised a beautiful arc, and he stretched out his hand to pin a strand of hair behind Ning Yuezhao's ear, "Thank you."

Ning Yuezhao's heart trembled slightly, but she didn't avoid his movements in the end.

At this time, two little palace ladies passed by and were surprised to find the scene in front of them.

The handsome and extraordinary man carefully cuts the temples of his beloved woman, and the woman is also unparalleled in style, looking from a distance, she looks like a pair of jades on Yaotai, envious of others with her love.

On the next day, the queen and princess had not yet arrived.But the air in the Chongtian Temple seemed to be frozen, and many people held their breaths, not daring to take a breath.

Yesterday, the news that Lu Jiansheng and his family were under the control of the imperial army had spread among the government and the public. At first they thought it was just a small incident of fire in an official's personal backyard, but unexpectedly it involved the serious crime of treason.

In Daxing, among the six ministries, only the Ministry of War is independent. Although it is under the cabinet in name, in fact, because the first-rank Jianwei general Xiao Jingtian holds the military power and concurrently serves as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War has in fact become one. In an independent body that has no one under its control, even the sub-auxiliary party headed by Xu Zhi has to be careful to curry favor with the Ministry of War.This is also the reason why Lu Jiansheng was confident before.

Although the Ministry of War is dominant, because the Xiao family is the founding hero, loyal and loyal for generations, and has won the trust of the Ning royal family, several generations of monarchs have never reduced their power.

I don't know if it was because of the favor of the royal family, the head of the Xiao family, Xiao Jingtian, began to loosen up in this generation.

Ever since Princess Changning was ordered to supervise the country, Xiao Jingtian has been claiming that he was ill and would not go to court.

But today, he was the first one to appear in the Chongtian Temple. After him came a fifth-rank official. When he first saw Xiao Jingtian standing in the hall wearing a black military officer embroidered with a tiger patch, he was so frightened that he shivered. He knelt down with a shudder.

And Xiao Jingtian didn't even give him a straight look until Jiang Nian stepped into the hall.

"What's going on today?" Jiang Nian touched his nose and asked inquiringly.

His voice was not loud, like talking to himself, but because the hall was too quiet, it was enough for everyone to hear.

So, the man in the black court uniform turned around slowly, his eagle-like eyes fixed on Jiang Nian like a knife.

Although Jiang Nian had never met Xiao Jingtian, he knew the identity of this person after a little thought, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

One is a great general who is an extremely human minister, the other is compiled by the Imperial Academy from the sixth grade; the other is standing in the No.1 seat of military officer under His Majesty Dan, and the other is standing quietly at the end of the civilian ranks.

The two looked at each other like this, seeing each other.

At this moment, a sing-along broke the deadlock——

"Princess Changning is here!"
