Chapter 1117: Demanding Compensation from His Majesty
Translator: Lonelytree
Wu Ming knew that Lin Yuelan was very capable. In addition, she was with Jiang Zhennan. Therefore, His Majesty sent him here to investigate and observe Lin Yuelan’s background.
Of course, Lin Yuelan didn’t expect him to answer. She continued, ” However if he wants to supervise us, let him. Anyway, I am upright and upright. I’m not afraid of you supervising me.
Wu Ming’s eyes lit up. He had never thought that Lin Yuelan would be such an easy-going person.
“And you, stop pretending to be dumb. It’ll look really stupid! ” Lin Yuelan said bluntly.
Wu Ming ?was speechless. Therefore, they knew from the beginning that he had not lost his memory.
Now that he thought about it, he did look stupid.
Especially in order to deceive Lin Yiwei’s trust, he pretended to be unconscious and ate the smelly feces. He would never forget this taste for the rest of his life.
Wu Ming’s face darkened. He took a deep breath and said, ” So, what exactly do you want from me?
Lin Yuelan suddenly giggled and said, ” Haha, it’s actually nothing. However, I want you to tell the emperor that I found out about your identity, I want you to stay in Taoyuan Village for the time being and help me with the work.”
Wu Ming was very suspicious. ” It’s that simple? ‘
However, he felt that it was not that simple.
After all, he had seen the guards of Taoyuan Village. All of them were strong in martial arts and were not weaker than the men of sacrifice from the big families.
With her people protecting the safety of Taoyuan Village, why would they need his help to look after the villagers?
It was impossible!
Lin Yuelan smiled mysteriously and said, ” Of course, it’s that simple!
As for how simple it was, it was up to her!
Wu Ming looked at the smile on Lin Yuelan’s face and felt a chill run down his spine. He had a bad feeling about this.
Why did he feel like he was being schemed against?
In the Imperial Study of the Imperial Palace.
When the Emperor received the letter, he immediately burst into laughter again. The joy on his face could not be suppressed.
Eunuch Zhang endured it for a while. In the end, he couldn’t help but ask curiously, ” Your Majesty, what did the letter say that made you so happy?
The Emperor smiled and said, ” I’ve really underestimated Minister Jiang’s fiancée. She knew that it was me who spread the news that Minister Jiang had a son in the capital. Therefore, she sent a letter directly asking me for compensation as compensation for Minister Jiang’s reputation and mental damage. In her letter, she even told me that the people I sent were captured by When Eunuch Zhang heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded. He exclaimed in his heart, ” What a bold woman!
If it were any other person, oh, even the current empress and concubines, they would not have the guts to speak to the Emperor like this, let alone ask for compensation.
What surprised him even more was that this woman had actually told the Emperor so casually that she knew that he had sent someone over and that she had captured them.
When Eunuch Zhang thought of this, he could not help but ask doubtfully, ‘ Your Majesty, isn’t the Great General’s fiancée a little too bold? She actually dares to ask for compensation from Your Majesty.”
However, the Emperor shook his head and smiled. Hehe, no, Minister Jiang’s fiancée is a straightforward woman with a personality.
He had been in power for more than 40 years. Anyone who saw him would be respectful and frightened. Because of this, he could not find anyone to talk to.
The reason why he favored Jiang Zhennan was not only because of Jiang Zhennan’s outstanding military ability but also because Jiang Zhennan was willing to tell him the truth. He would not lie in front of him, say good things, or flatter him. He was respectful to the king, not flattering him. Now, there was another child who was honest and straightforward.
This child was Jiang Zhennan’s fiancée.
They really were meant for each other!
The emperor knew everything about Lin Yuelan from his secret guards. Lin Yuelan was deemed a jinx to her husband and family by a Taoist priest who walked by Lin Family Village. She was then chased out by her family. A nine-year-old child survived the abuse and beatings of the villagers.
Three years later, her personality changed overnight.
The villagers thought that she was possessed by a demon and tried to burn her to death several times. In the end, they were all intimidated by her.
Although the Emperor did not know how this child had changed, whether it was because she had really met the King of Hell or if she had been possessed by a demon, at least for now, she had not done anything to harm the people.
Most importantly, her strange ideas and excellent planting ability might allow the people of the Longyan Kingdom to live a comfortable life.
Every emperor wanted to become a wise ruler whose name would be remembered for eternity, and the most direct representation of a wise ruler was his political achievements.
The embodiment of political achievements was to enrich the country and strengthen the army, to ensure that the people did not have to worry about food and clothing, and to live and work in peace and contentment!
Therefore, every time Jiang Zhennan made a suggestion, he would always secretly support it if it was the girl who came up with it.
When Jiang Zhennan said that this girl was his fiancée, he, as the emperor, did not interfere.
Because he had let the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor take a look at their birth characteristics, and they were a perfect match.
Moreover, two jinxes were a perfect match.
Although the age difference between them was a little big, to him, as long as that girl didn’t despise Jiang Zhennan, who would have anything to say? After the Emperor read the letter, he became even more curious about his fiancée, Jiang Zhennan.
He had the urge to summon her into the palace to meet her immediately.
He was a little regretful that he had missed the opportunity when this child came to the capital last time.
However, in the upper-class circle of the capital, her story was circulating.
For example, Wen Yujing, who had always treated Jiang Zhennan with the heart of a benevolent stepmother, was so angry that she fainted with her sharp words.
During Jiang Zhenye’s wedding, she even made the wedding banquet a mess, which made Jiang Yunfeng and his wife very angry.
It was obvious that Jiang Zhennan’s fiancée was trying to help Jiang Zhennan.
However, Wen Yujing, who was usually perfect, could not do anything to this child. She even watched her children being bullied.
At the thought of this, the Emperor became even more interested in Lin
Yuelan.
He asked Eunuch Zhang, “ Eunuch Zhang, I heard that Ye ‘er lowered his head and apologized to that child because of one sentence. Is that right? ‘
Eunuch Zhang had followed the Emperor for decades, but he still could not fathom the Emperor’s thoughts.
He quietly sized up the Emperor’s expression, but he was muttering in his heart. He did not know if the Emperor was dissatisfied with the Third Prince’s actions or if Jiang Zhennan’s fiancée had angered the Emperor.
Eunuch Zhang lowered his head and raised his eyebrows slightly. He carefully replied, ” Your Majesty, there is indeed such a matter. ‘
” Oh, looks like Minister Jiang’s fiancée is really bold. She knows that Ye ‘er is the Third Prince, but she still dares to provoke him. ” The Emperor frowned, and his tone was very dignified. ” She’s obviously provoking the royal family’s dignity!
Eunuch Zhang’s heart skipped a beat. He did not know what His Majesty was doing…
However, Ye ‘er really needs to be taught a lesson. “ The Emperor changed the topic, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face. ” He’s so reckless and impulsive!
Eunuch Zhang’s heart was still hanging on the edge of his chest. He carefully said, “ Your Majesty, the Third Prince was only…” He was just spoiled.
” That’s enough. ” The Emperor waved his hand and stopped Eunuch Zhang from continuing. He was spoiled by me since he was young. This is my fault.”
Eunuch Zhang did not dare to reply.
‘I Your Majesty, ” a charming voice came from outside the study.
The Emperor heard the voice and frowned slightly. ” Come in!
Imperial Noble Consort Zhou Yuexin was wearing a peach-colored soft muslin dress. She was carrying a bowl of soup as she slowly walked in.
She smiled and said to the Emperor, ” These days, I saw that Your Majestys complexion was not good. It was obvious that he did not rest well. I’ve made some bird’s nest, white fungus, red dates, and wolfberry soup. Your Majesty, have a taste!”
As she spoke, she placed the bird’s nest soup on the table. When she saw a newly opened letter on the table, her slender and charming eyes narrowed. However, before she could take a closer look, the Emperor walked over and put the letter away.
Then, holding the bird’s nest soup, he smiled and said to Noble Consort Zhou,
‘ Recently, I have indeed felt a little tired.. It has been hard on my beloved consort! ‘
