Chapter 3 The Emperor's Mind
"Sir, I found the waiter last night, but... I'm already out of breath."
"...I understand. I'll send someone to protect her. If she has something to do, you don't have to come back." Jiang Huai's hand was paused, and he looked at the person kneeling on the ground, his voice was so weak that he couldn't hear his emotions.
"Yes." The man responded and retreated.
At this time, in Daliang Palace, the deep-minded Emperor Yin Zhenyi was standing under the moon, watching his rivers and mountains sleep silently under the moonlight...
When he should have fallen asleep, he was sleepless. Only by blowing the cool breeze could he calm his mind. Perhaps even Eunuch Gao behind him didn't know what he was thinking.
Whenever he sees the moonlight, the person he thinks of is Jianghuai. Jianghuai is like this lunar moon, which makes him unable to see clearly. But Daliang has already passed its heyday. Now, how many people can really come in handy?
Generals Bo Qiu and Su Hengbei were able to take on great responsibilities, but in recent years, the wars launched by small countries around the country were all carried out by Jianghuai to pacify. Bo Qiu and Su Hengbei did not experience much war and had no practical experience. The experienced generals were all older, so he could only delegate power to allow him to fight on the battlefield while relying on other officials to check and balance.
But no one knows that Jianghuai is an extremely dangerous person for the emperor. An emperor over 40 should have consolidated his country, but Jianghuai is an internal and external troubles. Even if he is undermining his power now, people keep reporting that Jianghuai has never been disconnected from the north and south territory.
Jianghuai should have been the minister he valued the most, but all the changes were caused by the fire, the fire of the Luo family.
This arrogant emperor will never forget that the day when Jianghuai returned to Beijing was supposed to be a good day for his troops to return to the court, but Jianghuai entered the palace alone.
When Jianghuai was young, he fought on the battlefield and made many contributions, but he did not ask for any reward. In order to express his reward, the emperor gave him the sword left by the previous dynasty, the Qingqi Sword.
But now when the sword pointed straight at him, he even froze his smile on his face.
"What does this mean?"
"Does Your Majesty the Emperor think I am too peaceful?"
Yin Zhenyi only remembered that Jiang Huai's face was extremely cold at that time, which was a look he had never seen before. Even if Jiang Huai was angry outside, he was faint, and he had never even seen anyone he had ever faced. His expression was always faint and alienating, making people confused, but he was the only one who was the lady of the Luo family...
"I don't understand what I mean." After all, it was an emperor who had experienced a change of dynasty. He looked at Jianghuai without changing his face. He knew that Jianghuai was blaming him because of the Luo family's affairs.
"Luo Yuran is the future wife of Jianghuai. So, Your Majesty the Emperor doesn't understand?" Jianghuai glanced at the emperor and curled his lips and smiled, as if he was talking about an extremely ordinary thing, without touching his joys and anger.
"..." Yin Zhenyi was speechless all of a sudden, madam? A minister who was favored by the emperor did not ask about the willows at the right time and was flirting with the grass. Is this a normal manifestation?
"His Majesty the Emperor, I have been loyal to my fame and fortune for many years, and I can leave my armor and return to my country."
After saying that, the Qingqi sword brushed his cheek and inserted it directly on the ground. When Jiang Huai left, the emperor realized that he was so shocked that he was sweating. He looked at the sword that was so close that he had just been embedded in the ground.
"Emperor..." Gao Gonggong, who had been standing behind for a long time, took care of his clothes. On the spring night, there were still a few gusts of wind blowing on the city wall. Although it was not biting, the emperor's dragon body was valuable after all, and even a little bit of wind and cold could not delay the government.
"Do you think I'm old? Even the night wind can't stand it... Cough cough."
Eunuch Gao was frightened and immediately knelt on the ground. His proficiency was comparable to eating. "Your Majesty, I don't dare, but the dew is heavy late at night, so I still have to avoid it."
"Did you say, did the Luo family really get wronged back then?" Although no one mentioned this, every morning, Chao Jianghuai looked at him with a faint look, as if that night was just an illusion. However, this unresolved knot made him more and more confused over time.
"The Luo family... Although Lord Luo has an official title, he has never colluded with parties and has never done anything out of the ordinary. If he says Lord Luo is treason..." Eunuch Gao stopped halfway, because he knew that if he denies Lord Luo's treason, he was denying the emperor. Isn't this just sending his head to others!
"..." Of course, Lord Luo did not treason, but he kept people who shouldn't have kept, helped people who shouldn't have helped, and let him know these things he shouldn't have known.
"Your Majesty, it's time for us to return to the palace." Eunuch Gao reminded appropriately.
"Let's go!" He never felt that there was something wrong with any decision he made, whether it was the queen or the Luo family.
The sky turned white after coming out of the emperor's bedroom. Eunuch Gao wiped the sweat from his head, remembering what the emperor told him before going to bed, "Go and check Lord Jiang's recent movements."
Lord Jiang, there is only one Lord Jiang in Daliang, but now the emperor has had such a problem for him, the eunuch. What should he do!
