Chapter 91
Although Xiao Jingtian dissatisfied with the emperor Ning Yuezhao, his Xiao family was still loyal to the Ning Dynasty.When he came back this time, he came here specially because he heard about the redress of the Lu family.

Unexpectedly, there was a big joke, the empress and imperial concubine hid together and ignored the government affairs.

what is this?
Xiao Jingtian felt extremely angry.

As a general, although he is not bound by complicated etiquette like a literati, he is not a reckless man without rules.

Xu Zhi's words were very suggestive. Although Xiao Jingtian is used to using power to solve problems, it doesn't mean he can't think.

Does Xu Zhi think that he can become a general because of hereditary inheritance?Just kidding, he grew up in the military since he was a child.

So after Xiao Jingtian left the Chongtian Palace, he walked directly towards the harem. He had to see what was going on before he could act.

Ning Yuezhao was still lying on the bed at the moment, his face pale.

She had a headache attack again last night, but she endured it with perseverance and did not ask for an imperial doctor.

Bitao and Qingchi waited on the side carefully, with worried expressions on their faces.

"Your Majesty, why don't you send the imperial doctor to take a look?" Bi Tao said distressedly.

Ning Yuezhao closed her eyes, but shook her head stubbornly.

Now that Jiang Nian is on the cusp of the storm, if news of her illness spreads again, I'm afraid they won't even be able to take shelter from the storm now.

At this moment, the little eunuch came in out of breath and reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good, General Xiao has come to the harem."

"What?" Qingchi said in surprise, "Didn't he go to the northwest for inspection? Why did he come back so quietly?"

The little eunuch shook his head, "I don't know, what should I do now that he is going to the Dragon Palace?"

Ning Yuezhao struggled to sit up from the bed, and sneered, "Come as soon as you come, My Son, will you still be afraid of him?"

Bitao immediately persuaded, "Your Majesty, you have to take care of yourself, now is not the time to be arrogant."

Ning Yuezhao gave her a reassuring look, "Don't worry, Auntie, I have a sense of proportion and will not act recklessly."

At this time, the guards of the Forbidden Army had already been waiting outside the Hall of Rising Dragon.

The leading guard said: "Xiao Jingtian, as General Jianwei, what do you mean by trespassing on the emperor's bedroom?"

Xiao Jingtian glanced at the situation around the Ascending Dragon Hall, and secretly rolled his eyes.

"When did the general trespass?" He walked all the way to find a eunuch or maid to inform him, who knows that those people ran away when they saw him from a distance, as if he was some kind of cannibal Monster in general.

The guard drew out his sword, "At this very moment."

As he drew his sword, dozens of guards surrounded Xiao Jingtian, holding their swords in unison.

Xiao Jingtian smiled grimly, spread his hands and said: "This general is only here to see His Majesty, without an iron, you openly slandered me for trespassing on the Emperor's bedroom, what do you mean?"

Does he look so much like a traitor?Obviously nothing is done yet?
The guards clenched the hilt of the sword tightly. Who doesn't know that the great general Xiao Jingtian's martial arts are world-class, even with bare hands, he should not be underestimated.

Xiao Jingtian was a little impatient, "I'm going to see His Majesty, so go in and let me know!"

The guards still didn't move.

Xiao Jingtian's patience was exhausted, he snorted coldly, "If you don't get out of the way, don't blame the general for being rude."

"You get out of the way."

Two voices came one after the other at the same time.The male voice is elegant and peaceful, while the female voice is calm and prestige.

The guards stepped aside to open the two gaps, but they saw Ning Yuezhao, who was dressed in normal clothes, standing on the steps, his figure was a bit thin.But her gaze didn't fall on Xiao Jingtian, but looked over him at a certain silver-gray figure.

This person is none other than Jiang Nian who came here upon hearing the news.Today, he was wearing a long robe with a silver cloud pattern and a headband of the same color.

"See Your Majesty, see the Emperor." The guards knelt down on the ground.

Xiao Jingtian was a little embarrassed, the two stood one behind the other, in which direction would he kneel?
Jiang Nian came slowly, stopped in front of him, and said with a smile: "General Xiao is very brave, the guards made a big fuss, and they still haven't apologized to General Xiao."

Xiao Jingtian didn't like Jiang Nian because of Lu Jiansheng's case.He thought that scholars were like those soft-legged shrimps in the Hanlin Academy, and trembled when he saw him.Let's just talk about these guards of the imperial army, he just came with bare hands, and these people are as if they are facing a big enemy.

But Jiang Nian was different. When he was still a member of the Imperial Academy, he was neither humble nor overbearing in front of him.Not to mention that now he is the emperor's husband who is under one person and above ten thousand people, exuding a luxurious temperament all over his body, and his coercion is even greater than before.

The guards still knelt and said in unison: "It's the subordinates who offended, please forgive me, General!"

Xiao Jingtian snorted coldly, but did not speak.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Get up, Lord General Xiao doesn't remember the faults of villains. You should also pay more attention in the future. As guards of the imperial army, you are responsible for the safety of the palace. How can you be so indiscriminate?"

The guards stood up, with shame on their faces, "Yes, I will follow His Highness's instruction."

Jiang Nian said lightly: "Okay, let's go."

The square in front of the Ascending Dragon Hall returned to calm, and Ning Yuezhao was still standing in front of the main hall, looking at the two of them.

Jiang Nian met her eyes for a moment, and said to Xiao Jingtian, "General Xiao, if you have something to do, you might as well go into the hall and talk about it."

Xiao Jingtian nodded.

Jiang Nian took a step ahead, stepped up the steps, and gently held Ning Yuezhao's hand.

"Why are your hands so cold?" He asked in a low voice, "Why is your face so ugly, let the imperial doctor take a look."

Ning Yuezhao shook her head, "It's okay, I just stood here for a long time, the wind blows, don't make a fuss."

After finishing speaking, she urged him to go into the hall.

Jiang Nian was helpless, Xiao Jingtian was still here, so he had to wait until the person was dealt with before sending the imperial doctor to take a look.

At this moment, Xiao Jingtian observed the two of them from behind, recalling the message that Xu Zhi had conveyed to him just now.

Although this Jiang Nian was born with a handsome appearance, he was not coquettish, his temperament was beyond dust, and there was a natural nobility in his gestures and gestures.

Although Ning Yuezhao was pale and looked a little weak, his eyes were clear.

Meishang Huzhuzhu can't tell at the moment, but looks like an old couple who have been together for many years.

However, it is true that the empress is suffering from a disease, but whether it is poisonous or not remains to be verified.

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian, who were walking ahead, were also somewhat puzzled at this time.

Ning Yuezhao knew that Xiao Jingtian was dissatisfied with himself as the emperor. Since the Lu family's case, he had gone to the northwest frontier, and he didn't even respond to his enthronement. Now he came back suddenly, and he didn't know why he came here.

Jiang Nian saw her worry and gave her a reassuring look.

Although Xiao Jingtian is rebellious, at least he is a maverick, not a member of any party.

After several people were seated, the maid served tea.

Xiao Jingtian didn't drink tea, and went straight to the tunnel: "I waited for a long time in the Chongtian Palace today, but I didn't see your majesty and the emperor's husband coming to the court. If you can't come for some reason, you should let someone come to inform you. What do you mean by telling all the officials to wait?"

Ning Yuezhao hadn't recovered from the severe pain last night, she was a little bit reluctant to force herself, she said flatly: "The general has seen me now, so it's the same if you have anything to say now."

Xiao Jingtian originally thought that she would at least make up some grandiose excuse, but she didn't expect that she would skip this matter directly, as if she wished he had something to say quickly, and left as soon as he finished speaking.

He has always strictly enforced military discipline and ruled the army, and Ning Yuezhao's appearance at this moment is completely indifferent to the court's laws.Of course, in her capacity, if she ignored the law, no one could do anything to her.But Xiao Jingtian is different, he is a strict self-disciplined person, and he also requires others to obey the law just like him.

So, he said with a sullen face: "Your Majesty, as a king, how can you be absent from the early court without a reason?"

Ning Yuezhao raised her eyelids, "I've been ill for a long time, there are no major affairs, and the imperial husband will take care of the government."

Xiao Jingtian turned to Jiang Nian, "Is the emperor also unwell? I didn't see you this morning!"

Jiang Qingnian coughed twice, and said lightly: "It is not suitable for Gu to preside over the government recently, and His Majesty is not feeling well. The affairs of the DPRK and China have been entrusted to the cabinet in the past few days."

The papers of his impeachment are piled up into a hill. Although he is the emperor's husband with a man under one person and above ten thousand people, and his status is respected, he is only the emperor's husband. After being impeached, he can only stay behind closed doors like a minister. .

Xiao Jingtian's eyes switched between the two, and it took a long time before he said with a cold face: "I heard that His Majesty has rehabilitated the former Lu family, is there such a thing?"

Ning Yuezhao looked at Jiang Nian, "There is this matter. Although the whole truth of the original case has not been found out, since it has been confirmed that the Lu family was wronged, it is natural that they should be innocent."

Xiao Jingtian was not very satisfied with this result, he said: "I have seen the only surviving Lu Ji of the Lu family, today I asked him to wait outside the palace gate, and I will be introduced by the minister, so that His Majesty can vindicate him in front of all officials. Injustice, but the ministers left and right don't see His Majesty coming to the court, what does this mean? Are you going to break the trust of the people in the world?"

It's not that Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian deliberately forgot about this matter, the main reason is that Lu Ji never showed up, which made them unable to act.Now it seems that Lu Ji should have been waiting for Xiao Jingtian to show up, probably because he was forced to be afraid, and dared not show up without finding a talisman.

Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian looked at each other in blank dismay. The imperial decree of rehabilitating had already been announced to the world. It seemed that it was not kind enough to settle this matter in front of all the officials.

Xiao Jingtian saw that the two were hesitating and didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, so he couldn't help but said impatiently: "I still have unfinished business in the northwest, this time I came back purely for the son of a family acquaintance, when will Your Majesty go to court, anyway Give me a word."

The implication is that I have no time to take care of you dirty things, and I will leave after rehabilitating Lu Ji.

In the end, Ning Yuezhao said: "The royal family has been sorry for the Lu family's affairs, and now everyone should avenge Lu Ji's grievances. I will attend the morning court tomorrow, so don't worry, the general."

Xiao Jingtian was afraid that she would deceive him, so he insisted: "It's still early, and all the officials are still in the Chongtian Palace. Your Majesty should go with the minister now."

"This..." Ning Yuezhao was a little embarrassed, "Is this too hasty?"

Xiao Jingtian had already stood up, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, Lu Ji is still waiting outside the palace gate, and now he is the only one left in the Lu clan, how long do you want him to wait? Besides, it's just a few words Your Majesty won't even begrudge this little time?"

Ning Yuezhao looked at Jiang Nian, but saw him nodding towards her.

"Okay, drive to Chongtian Temple!" She gritted her teeth.

I made it through last night, could it be that I can't make it through today's morning?Ning Yuezhao thought so in her heart, and slowly clenched her hands under the sleeves into fists.
