Moreover, he clearly received a report that Hu Feifan had arrived in Yangzhou, but he hadn't seen a single person; the man had simply vanished. Just as he was about to search for him everywhere, Lan Linxue came to cause trouble. If something really happened to Hu Feifan in Yangzhou, he wouldn't have enough heads to pay for it!

After a moment's thought, Jiang Ming replied with a smile, "Your Highness, the people of Yangzhou are simple and honest, and they live in peace and contentment. Last night, I didn't hear of anything unusual happening!"

Lan Linxue this time brought a cold smile to her face instead of her true feelings. "Oh? Nothing special happened? That's really strange. Could it be that the Dragon Martial Army that Father Emperor sent to command me rebelled and dared to lie to me that they were ambushed in Yangzhou last night? Or is it that you haven't seen Lord Shi Mengjian's head yet?"

Lan Linxue spoke her last words almost right next to Jiang Ming's ear, her words like a blade, making Jiang Ming feel a cold scrape on his back.

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare! Your subordinate truly doesn't know what happened in Yangzhou yesterday? Did Lord Shi have an accident? When did it happen?"

As he spoke, Jiang Ming looked back at the people in a panic, his expression realistic and his mannerisms spot-on.

Lan Linxue frowned in annoyance. How dare they put on such a show in front of him? "You don't need to look at them! They definitely don't know! Let me tell you, Shi Mengjian is fine, he just lost his head!"

After saying that, Lan Linxue didn't say another word. She turned around, stepped onto the imperial carriage, and waved her hand without looking at anyone else. "Let's go!"

The gauze curtain was lowered again, the imperial carriage was raised, and everyone knelt!
