Translator: Lonelytree
“Greetings, Your Majesty!
At night, in the royal study, Jiang Zhennan knelt on one knee and said.
The Emperor yawned and said, I ‘ Rise, Minister Jiang!
Then, he asked in confusion and anger, What urgent matter is it that requires you to wake me up in the middle of the night? Minister Jiang, I hope you really have something important to say. Otherwise, hehe…” As he spoke, the emperor sneered with the majesty of a king.
However, Jiang Zhennan’s expression could not be seen under the mask. His voice was very calm and steady as he said, It’s my fault for disturbing Your Majestys rest. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!
“However, this humble subject has a request to make. I’m here to ask for an imperial edict from Your Majesty!
The Emperor immediately raised his eyebrows and said with interest, “Ask for an imperial edict from me?!
But then, his expression suddenly changed drastically. He said sternly, Minister Jiang, you woke me up because of an imperial edict? Are you misusing my trust and faith in you?
Jiang Zhennan was not frightened by the Emperor’s sudden change in expression. He said calmly, Please forgive me, Your Majesty!
His Majesty was speechless. He pretended to be angry just to scare Jiang Zhennan and let him know that he was really angry.
But Jiang Zhennan was still calm and collected. He did not look frightened at all.
His Majesty did not make things difficult for Jiang Zhennan anymore. He immediately put away his serious expression and asked with a smile, That’s enough. I won’t be angry with you anymore. Being angry with you is worse than being angry with myself. Tell me, what is it that requires you to come here in the middle of the night to ask for an imperial edict?
“You also know that it is not so easy for me to issue an imperial edict.”
Two miles away from the Nanyuan farm
Yuwen Xuhongs subordinate reported to him, I ‘ Master, the Third Prince seems to have come to look for the Great General today. He came from another direction.
Yuwen Xuhong furrowed his brows and then let go. He sneered, Oh, is that so? That’s good, third imperial uncle and I can go together.”
Black Shadow looked at his gloomy master and asked worriedly, Won’t this attract the General’s suspicion?
Yuwen Xuhongs sharp gaze swept across his subordinate, and he said sternly, “What could he suspect? Third Imperial Uncle and I merely want to visit him at his farm. If there’s anything he suspects, he would only suspect Third Imperial Uncle.”
At this point, a malicious light flashed across his eyes as he said mockingly, After all, in this court, who doesn’t know that Third Imperial Uncle’s mother is the most favored, and he is also Imperial Grandfather’s most favored son? Behind him is the extremely powerful Zhou family.
“With these advantages and temptations, who wouldn’t have the desire and ambition?
“It is just a pity that even with such good conditions, Third Imperial Uncle is impulsive and direct. His ambition is almost written on his face.
“This sudden visit to the general will naturally tip off the general.
“As for me, since the great general has a fiancée, I should go and congratulate him. Is that a problem?”
Black Shadow smiled and said, Your Highness is wise! ”
Yuwen Xuhong nodded. Okay, let’s go!
Not long after, Yuwen Xuhong and Yuwen Feiye met.
Yuwen Feiye’s face darkened at first, but then he returned to his cold expression.
Yuwen Xuhong bowed respectfully to Yuwen Feiye. Greetings, Third Imperial Uncle! I ‘ Then, he stood up and said in surprise, Third Imperial Uncle, what a coincidence!
Yuwen Feiye frowned when he saw his nephew, who was hiding a knife behind his smile. Hong ‘er, why are you here?
Yuwen Xuhong smiled and answered truthfully, ‘I I heard that the Great General is doing farm work here. I was curious and wanted to come over to take a look. What about Third Imperial Uncle?”
Yuwen Feiye also replied, Third Imperial Uncle and Hong ‘er are the same. I also want to see how a general who knows how to fight will farm. I came here out of curiosity.”
Yuwen Xuhong smiled, In that case, Third Imperial Uncle, shall we go together?
Yuwen Feiye nodded.
“Third Imperial Uncle, please!” Yuwen Xuhong made an inviting gesture.
Third Imperial Uncle and Yuwen Xuhong came to the entrance of the Nanyuan Manor.
After getting his subordinate to call the door, Xiao Ding opened it.
When he saw Yuwen Feiye and Yuwen Xuhong, he immediately knelt down and said, “Greetings, Your Highness!”
