Chapter 245
"Master Lu did not know where he got such a person named 'Rat', and even frightened and frightened Miss Feng to confess that he never caught him, but he lied to His Majesty that he caught him. Isn't that true? Is it the crime of bullying the king?"

The censor spoke impassionedly. Just now everyone was immersed in the joy of the person behind the scenes being finally caught. Lu Ji's tricks were completely ignored, but this person wanted to jump out to be serious. This made Ning Yuezhao a little unhappy .

Lu Ji knelt down calmly, "Your Majesty, I didn't actually catch that 'rat'. This person was too cunning, and I was afraid that things would change if it was too late, so I asked the headhunter of Shuntian Mansion to pretend to be a rat and take a gamble with Feng. Shi Yang is guilty of being a thief."

The "rat" that was brought to Chongtian Temple was actually Chang Mu, the head catcher of Shuntian Mansion.

Before he came, he was ready for the matter to be exposed, so he fiddled with some messy hair a little, knelt down beside Lu Ji, "Your Majesty, I have no choice but to make such a move. If Your Majesty wants to punish, the whole Shuntian Mansion is willing to be punished together with adults!"

Yan Zhenglang looked at Lu Ji, who was kneeling on the ground neither humble nor overbearing, indifferent and unrepentant, and he also knelt down, "Your Majesty, Master Lu's move is also to find out the truth and prevent the treacherous villain from making trouble in the court, not to mention that he has never wronged Feng. Shi Yang, I implore Your Majesty to forgive Lord Lu for his crimes!"

With the Taifu taking the lead, most of the ministers in the court knelt down and pleaded for Lu Ji.

Ning Yuezhao glanced at the censor, only to see that his face was also ashen.

"Your Majesty, even if the investigation is important, you can't let the dragon's face be ignored!"

"Of course the law cannot be violated, but human feelings must also be respected. Although Lu Qing lied, he did not intend to deceive me. Therefore, even if he made a mistake, I will not punish him. It is only the merit of this investigation, and there is no reward. It is considered a merit. As for Feng Shiyang, because of his own selfish desires, he even murdered his colleagues several times. "

Seeing Ning Yuezhao's final decision, Yan Zhenglang hurriedly bowed down and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

The rest of the officials hurriedly echoed, praising Ning Yuezhao's benevolence, virtue and sage's voice like a mountain shout.

Even if the censor wanted to say something, he was annihilated by the loud mountain call, and finally he could only hang his head and give up competing with Lu Ji.

Fed up with the flattery, Ning Yuezhao waved her hand to signal the officials to be quiet, "Let's all be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yan Zhenglang got up and went back to his seat. When he looked up at the empress, his eyes were full of relief. Ning Yuezhao now has the majesty of an emperor in every gesture. In the past, Jiang Nian might have asked her to help her, but now she is alone. Can deter the ministers.

Since Jiang Nian went to court for the expansion of the Forbidden Army last time, he has been reclusive in Qifeng Palace for the past few days, declaring to the outside world that his old injury has relapsed and he needs to rest.

Yan Zhenglang sent a letter to the imperial court two days ago, but Jiang Nian never summoned him, nor issued any orders, which made him a little worried.

Is Jiang Nian's recurrence of his old illness an illusion of weakness, or is it real?

At this time, on the road leading to Qifeng Palace, Xu Miaoyun was walking nervously and expectantly while holding the imperial edict drafted by the Imperial Academy.

Before she just left the Hanlin Academy, she already knew that Feng Yuzhang's father and daughter were in the court today. The friendship between her and Feng Shiyang was meant to be a statement, and she was just using Feng Shiyang as a gun to suppress Qingchi.Once a gun is broken, she can find another.

It's just that before she had time to think too much, she was assigned the task of sending documents into the palace today.These drafted documents should have been sent to the Yizheng Palace, but everyone knew that the imperial husband's efforts to go to court a few days ago caused old illnesses. These days, the empress has been approving papers and handling political affairs in Qifeng Palace.

Since Xu Miaoyun entered the Imperial Academy, she has never had a chance to get close to Jiang Nian alone. Today, the Imperial Academy scholar Zhou Cheng is not here, and the attendant student casually instructed her to deliver the documents. This is a good opportunity given by God.

Walking outside Qifeng Palace, Xu Miaoyun was already covered with sweat.She is a seventh-rank editor, and she is not qualified to ride in a chariot in the palace, so she can only rely on walking.

Nowadays, most of the people serving in Qifeng Palace are people around the empress except the palace servants who were originally assigned here. They know Xu Miaoyun. Although she is not considered as a face in front of the empress, at least she has not made any big mistakes.

At this time, Jiang Nian, who was in the study, heard that someone was coming from the Imperial Academy, so he didn't think about who was coming, so he just let him in.

Holding the documents, Xu Miaoyun walked into the study room of Qifeng Palace.

"My minister sees Your Royal Highness!"

The booklet that Yan Zhenglang submitted two days ago was laid out on the desk. Jiang Nian propped his head on one arm and was thinking about it. When Xu Miaoyun came in, he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Stay flat." Jiang Nian's reaction was very flat.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xu Miaoyun got up and raised the document in her hand above her head, "This is the imperial edict and official document drafted by the Imperial Academy yesterday, please have a look at it, Your Highness."

Jiang Nian motioned to Jing Ming, and Jing Ming walked down and took the document from Xu Miaoyun's hand.

"You can go back."

These documents were put on Ning Yuezhao's case by Jing Ming, and Jiang Nian had no intention of reading them.

Xu Miaoyun thought to herself, the emperor's husband has indeed lost his power, and now he doesn't even have the right to read the scriptures, no wonder after Yan Qingchi was injured, he didn't hire others to write for him.

Previously, the imperial husband chose Yan Qingchi to write as a ghostwriter, and I didn't see him say much. Yan Qingchi wrote like a god, presumably because she was accompanied by the empress, and she was trusted by the empress. In fact, what she wrote was the empress's meaning. Husband has no decision-making power at all.That's just a show for the Jiang family, lest the Jiang family and the empress be against each other, right?

Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyun raised her head, "His Royal Highness, the few imperial edicts placed on the top are urgently in need of approval. When the minister came out, the bachelor's servant had told him to let His Majesty take a look and make a decision before I can go back. Now His Majesty is still in the early court, so His Majesty's decision is also the same."

She spoke bluntly, but in fact, the hand hanging by her side was sweating a long time ago, and she clenched it tightly and hid it in her sleeve.The Bachelor Attendant actually just asked her to remind her that these imperial edicts were a bit urgent, and did not ask her to go back after listening to the holy will.Originally, today is not the day of the imperial court. Normally, at this point in time, the empress should have descended to court, so it is not too abrupt for the Imperial Academy to have this intention.

Jiang Nian retracted his arms, sat up straight, closed the folder in front of him, and told Jing Ming, "Take it and have a look."

Jing Ming was about to go over to get the booklets, but Xu Miaoyun was one step ahead of him, "You don't know which books it is, let me do it."

After finishing speaking, she quickly took the top few notebooks and handed them to Jiang Nian respectfully.

Jiang Nian frowned slightly, "Let it go."

Xu Miaoyun bit her lip, and put the notebook on Jiang Nian's case. There was nothing written on the cover of the closed notebook, and she didn't know what it was.

Jiang Nian opened a book and read it.

Xu Miaoyun found that the cinnabar hadn't been ground in the inkstone on the case, so he wasn't looking at the memorial just now.

Such a talented and brilliant man is now trapped in this palace, Xu Miaoyun feels sorry for Jiang Nian just thinking about it!
Jiang Nian saw that the person in front of him still didn't back down, and was about to speak, but the other party picked up the cinnabar ingot on the table and started grinding it in the inkstone.

It is not uncommon for Hanlin officials to serve Wenmo by the emperor's side, but Jiang Nian is a man, and he is the emperor's wife. Some disgusted.

Before Jiang Nian could open his mouth, Jing Ming had already walked over, "How can you bother Mr. Xu with things like researching ink? Just let the young ones do it."

After speaking, he squeezed towards Xu Miaoyun, and unceremoniously "snatched" the cinnabar ingot from her hand.

Although Xu's family was originally from a poor family, when Xu Miaoyun was born, they lived a life of luxury.Jing Ming is Jiang Nian's personal entourage, and in the eyes of outsiders, she is quite respectable, but in Xu Miaoyun's eyes, she is a servant, how could she let a servant get close to her?

So the first time Jing Ming approached, Xu Miaoyun subconsciously tried to dodge, and the cinnabar ingot in her hand fell into Jing Ming's hands, even Jing Ming's fingers brushed hers.

Xu Miaoyun maintained a constant expression on her face, not entangled, and took a step back generously, "As an editor of the Imperial Academy, it is also my duty to serve the imperial husband's pen and ink. However, it is rare for a humble minister to wait in front of the emperor's mansion. It's normal for the emperor to be more used to being served by people around him."

These words sounded full of Jing Ming's dignity, otherwise it would be inappropriate for him to run against the female officials of the Imperial Academy, but Xu Miaoyun ran into someone else, Jiang Nian.

"Well, Gu is really not used to other people studying ink." His tenderness and affection have always been for only one person, and he doesn't care so much about other people's face.

If it was another girl in the boudoir, perhaps she would have been too ashamed and angry, but Xu Miaoyun just endured it and did not have an attack.

"The humble minister has surpassed."

Jing Ming had also seen Xu Miaoyun's arrogance before, so he couldn't help but be a little surprised that he was so low-browed and pleasing to the eye.

Jiang Nian didn't even lift his eyelids, he had already read a book in his hand, "This edict is well written, so let's send it like this."

Xu Miaoyun smiled lightly, "Your Highness, this draft imperial edict is from this minister."

Jiang Nian had already put the booklet aside and was about to flip through the second book, when he heard her say that, he couldn't help but look up at her.

There was a faint smile on Xu Miaoyun's delicate face, without the previous arrogance, but with a bit of gentleness.

Jiang Nian's gaze didn't stay on her face for too long, he didn't say anything and then buried his head in the few draft edicts that were said to be issued in a hurry.

Xu Miaoyun thought she would get a word or two of praise from him, but he didn't say anything, she was a little annoyed for a while, but she still maintained a smile on her face.

When Ning Yuezhao stepped into the study, what she saw was Xu Miaoyun looking at her imperial husband intently before Jiang Nian buried the first case.
