Chapter 414 Throwing out the Assassin Who Intended to Murder the Emperor

Jizhou.

After learning from Xiao Fenghuang that Xiao Chengjin had abolished the harem, Madam Liu and others were also happy for Jiang Ruo.

So, at dinner the next day, Nanny Liu hinted that Jiang Ruo should return to the capital.

"Empress, with you not in the palace, the Emperor has no one to look after him. Will he have trouble eating...sleeping?"

Jiang Ruo put down the dishes in her hands, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips.

"He has Manager Lin by his side, so his daily life will be no problem."

After a moment of silence, Aunt Liu whispered, "Empress, I think you should return to the palace!"

Banxia and the others standing on the side lost their patience when they heard this.

They knelt down and said, "Empress, we beg you to return to the capital as soon as possible."

Your Majesty, it’s not that we don’t believe in the Emperor’s character.

But even if the emperor can remain calm, he cannot guard against some vixen!

The brainwashed Little Phoenix also followed suit and advised: "Sister, tomorrow is the third day, we should go back."

I heard from Aunt Liu and the others that the vixen in the capital are very cunning.

It would be bad if the bastard man was plotted against by them.

Jiang Ruo: "......"

Okay, now that things here are done, I'll go back tomorrow.

You know what, I really miss him.

Hehe, a short absence makes the heart grow fonder...

Jiang Ruo curled her lips and smiled, "All of you get up!"

"Tomorrow, Xiaofeng and I will go back."

After Banxia and the others stood up, they smiled at each other.

"The servants will prepare water and wait for the master to bathe."

"Go!" Jiang Ruo nodded slightly.

Imperial Palace.

After dinner, Xiao Chengjin strolled around the palace accompanied by Chief Steward Lin.

Chief Steward Lin looked at the sighing Xiao Chengjin and said comfortingly, "Your Majesty, the Empress will be back tomorrow, so you don't have to worry."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chengjin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Once I have trained Prince Ning, I will be able to leave the palace with the Queen."

Chief Steward Lin said in a fawning manner, "Your Majesty is wise."

Xiao Chengjin stopped, looked in the direction of Jizhou, and couldn't help but sigh again.

I hope to see Ruoruo at lunch tomorrow.

"It's getting late, let's go back to Yongle Palace."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Steward Lin shook his head helplessly.

Alas, when you were single, you were rational and calm.

Ever since the Queen came into being, he has become very clingy.

However, I still like your "human touch".

The master and servant walked and talked as they slowly headed towards Yongle Palace.

When I walked to a palace near Yongle Palace, a figure suddenly rushed over from the corner...

Xiao Chengjin keenly smelled a strange fragrance and quickly held his breath.

Then, he shouted coldly, "Cover your nose," and flew back.

Manager Lin immediately covered his nose and stopped the palace maid who was rushing over.

The palace maid rushed over with all her strength, and seeing the steward Lin suddenly blocking her way, she couldn't stop and rushed forward.

Manager Lin looked at the palace maid who didn't know what was happening. He was angry but also reacted quickly.

He thought that his old arms and legs could not withstand such a collision.

So, Manager Lin quickly moved two steps to the side.

Just like that, the maiden, who had missed her target, was thrown to the ground with a scream...

A patrol of the Imperial Guards rushed over upon hearing the noise and immediately knelt down to apologize: "The thieves disturbed the Holy Palace. It is our fault. Please punish us, Your Majesty."

"Everyone, get up!" Xiao Chengjin exuded an aura that said "keep away from strangers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The imperial guards stood up tremblingly.

The palace maid lying on the ground said in a trembling voice: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Before the palace maid could finish her words, she was knocked unconscious by two royal guards.

Xiao Chengjin sneered and said to Manager Lin in a cold voice: "Manager Lin, you should understand what to do!"

Manager Lin calmed down and said, "This old servant understands."

Xiao Chengjin changed direction and returned to Yongle Palace from another route.

After Xiao Chengjin left, Chief Steward Lin said to the Imperial Guards, "Throw this 'assassin' who intends to murder the Emperor out of the palace. Do you understand?"

"We understand." The Royal Guards replied in unison.

When Chief Steward Lin passed by the palace maid, he kicked her angrily.

"Ah, what an unlucky thing."

You've ruined the emperor's good mood.

After returning to Yongle Palace, Xiao Chengjin went straight into the bathroom after the palace servants prepared hot water.

Dongxue and others noticed that Xiao Chengjin was in a bad mood and prayed secretly: Queen, please come back soon!

Jizhou.

Before dawn, the little phoenix who was sleeping next to Jiang Ruo suddenly "trembled" and was awakened.

The little phoenix opened its sleepy eyes and blinked a few times.

It seems like a dream.

Thinking of the scene in the dream, Little Phoenix rubbed Jiang Ruo's cheek with her head, "Sister, don't sleep anymore, wake up quickly."

"Something big has happened."

Jiang Ruo, who was sleeping soundly, pushed Xiao Fenghuang away and said, "Xiao Feng, stop making trouble. Sister will sleep a little longer."

Little Phoenix: “…”

Still sleeping?

Your man is about to be snatched away by someone else.

"Sister, wait until we get back to Beijing before sleeping. I really can't sleep now."

Jiang Ruo listened to the chirping sounds in her ears and reached out to grab the little phoenix's neck.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Sister, I just had a dream. I dreamed that someone seduced a man."

"You don't know, just pounce!"

"The picture is so real, I think it is very likely to be true."

After listening to this, Jiang Ruo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xiaofeng, you really worry about me!

Jiang Ruo rubbed Little Phoenix's head and said with a smile: "Dreams are the opposite of reality, you don't have to worry too much."

Little Phoenix nodded, "Okay, let's just trust that dog man for now!"

So, the man and the phoenix lay together and continued to sleep soundly.

After Banxia and the others got up and washed up, they began to prepare the breakfast that Jiang Ruo liked.

To be honest, they were willing to let their master stay in Jizhou for a few more days.

However, they were all "uneasy" about the emperor staying in the palace alone.

As the sky gradually brightened, Jiang Ruo, who had woken up naturally, raised her hand and patted the little phoenix beside her.

"Xiaofeng, get up."

Little Phoenix had actually woken up a long time ago.

It thought that it would not be able to share the same bed with Jiang Ruo after returning to the palace, so it leaned against Jiang Ruo and pretended to sleep.

"Sister, after breakfast, let's go back to the capital."

Jiang Ruo thought of the dream that Xiao Fenghuang had and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Okay, let's go back to the capital."

After Jiang Ruo and Xiao Fenghuang washed up in the space, they came to the dining room.

Banxia and the others quickly bowed and saluted: "The servants greet the master."

"No need to be polite."

After Jiang Ruo sat down, several people brought breakfast to the table.

.......

After breakfast, Jiang Ruo arranged the affairs on the farm.

"Butler Ji, I leave the affairs of the manor to you."

Ji Yunce bowed and said, "I obey your command."

"Sister, let's go." The little phoenix flapped its wings.

"Your servants and servants respectfully send off the Empress."

At the urging of Little Phoenix, Aunt Liu and the others reluctantly watched the man and the phoenix leave...

Imperial Palace.

In the imperial study, Xiao Chengjin drank tea and watched Ning Jinghuai leisurely as he dealt with memorials.

Yes, he is a conscientious and responsible "good assistant".

At this moment, Ning Jinghuai was carefully reviewing the memorial in his hand.

He complained in his heart: I have to go out of town with Yan'er today, so I have to finish the work early and go back early.

Thinking about what happened when I returned home yesterday, I couldn't help but wail in my heart.

Alas, yesterday I went home and complained to my old father, and my old father kicked me on the spot.

The old father cursed and said: The emperor is willing to use you, he thinks highly of you, don't be ungrateful...

Oh my God, I don’t want to be looked upon by the Emperor at all.

Xiao Chengjin looked at Ning Jinghuai's changing expression and raised the corners of his lips slightly.

He stood up and walked to the bookshelf and took down the brocade box sent by Sibao Pavilion.

"Prince Ning, Sibao Pavilion has already made your wedding rings. Come and have a look!"

Ning Jinghuai looked at the red brocade box in front of him, quickly put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and bowed.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome." Xiao Chengjin turned around and sat back in his seat.

Ning Jinghuai opened the brocade box and looked at the exquisitely crafted couple rings, the smile on his face growing wider and wider.

For the sake of the wedding rings, it's not impossible to share the emperor's worries.

Ning Jinghuai put the rings back into the brocade box and handled official business as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

Near noon, Ning Jinghuai respectfully placed the processed memorial in front of Xiao Chengjin.

"Your Majesty, I have already processed these memorials. Please review them again."

"Thank you for your hard work, Prince Ning." Xiao Chengjin curled his lips.

Ning Jinghuai said in a servile manner, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my trouble. I am not tired at all."

"It's almost noon, you should go back and rest!"

"Also, you are getting married soon, so you don't need to go to the palace these two days." Xiao Chengjin picked up the memorial in front of him and began to read it.

Ning Jinghuai was delighted when he heard this, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I'll take my leave."

Xiao Chengjin waved his hand.

Ning Jinghuai picked up the brocade box and walked out of the imperial study pretending to be calm.

After leaving the imperial study, he ran away.

After reading the memorial in front of him, Xiao Chengjin stood up and left the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go back for lunch." Steward Lin said with a smile.

"Let's go back!" Xiao Chengjin stepped onto the dragon chariot.

He tilted his head and looked towards Jizhou with anticipation.

Will Ruoruo come back today?

I will definitely...
