Jiang Sheng came to the emperor and talked in private for a while before leaving.

When there were only two people left in the hall, the emperor stood up and walked to An Jiu's side. He lowered his head and sucked on her neck, feeling comfortable instantly.

An Jiu was stunned.

What the fuck is this?

"His Majesty……"

The emperor held her in his arms.

"Let me hold you for a while."

For the first time, the emperor experienced what it meant to miss someone so much after a day apart.

He always wondered what Xiaojiu would do in the morning.

An Jiu patted his back amusedly.

After a long while, the emperor let her go and reluctantly sat down to read the memorials. After reading a few of them, he began to daydream about the morning court.

Today, the court talked about the war in the south again. The emperor guessed correctly that the Chu people were not well-off, and they wanted to fight quickly and decisively. However, after King Jing went there, the defense force was greatly increased. Defending a city is much easier than attacking it, and...

There is also the support of Myeongwang 놇大女王뀘.

An Jiu paused.

She remembered that Prince Ming was still in the capital. When Chu State invaded, Prince Ming planned to go back to the southwest with Prince Jing, but he was invited back by the emperor before he had gone far.

The emperor's original words: "There is a war in the south now, and I am really worried about my second brother going back alone."

King Ming was so angry that he almost broke his chest and cursed.

An Jiu didn't understand the emperor's actions at the time, but now she understands.

It is not just a simple statement that Prince Ming is obsessed with mountains and rivers. He really does not care about things. In other words, the person who really manages things in his fiefdom is Prince Ming's mother.

This concubine is a smart person. When the court goes to war with the State of Chu and only King Jing goes there, she may not necessarily offer help. She may even choose to watch from the sidelines and protect herself. But what if King Ming goes to the capital...

That is the hostage in the emperor's hands.

Even if the concubine has all kinds of plans, she has nowhere to use them.

She could only help King Jing defend the city, otherwise, the emperor would not know how to deal with King Ming...

An Jiu looked at the emperor's round head and silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart.

You really are the smartest little tiger in the world.

An Jiu's thoughts were also flying. When she came to her senses, the emperor had already stood up. He straightened his clothes and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiu, let's go there."

An Jiu was very curious about where he was going in broad daylight, but the emperor didn't tell him until they arrived at Prince Jing's Mansion.

The home of Prince Jing.

The emperor took a look behind the screen as soon as he entered the room.

Prince Jing also glanced at the screen and said calmly, "Does the emperor like it?"

The emperor nodded: "Not bad."

[There is someone behind!] 】

An Jiu widened his eyes and looked towards the screen, curious about who was behind it.

Does Prince Jing have a mistress hidden in his golden house?

That's unlikely. Prince Jing's health... I'm afraid it's not going to work!

Prince Jing smiled gently and said, "If you like it, I will give it to my brother."

The emperor asked meaningfully, "You want to give away your beloved things like this? Are you willing to do so?"

Prince Jing sighed and said helplessly: "I am a dying man, it is useless for me to have these things."

Is it useless?

The emperor didn't think so.

A dying person may really want nothing.

But only those who are about to die can be willing to let go and drag everyone else to death.

The more you want nothing, the more you may want.

"Do you still remember Han Yun?" the emperor suddenly asked.

Prince Jing was startled and lowered his eyes: "Remember, the people around mother."

The emperor sighed and said, "This Han Yun, I suspect he is a spy for the State of Chu."

An Jiu: "..."

She thought that the emperor came here to test the waters, but she didn't expect that he would come directly to Prince Jing's mansion and start a large-scale attack right in front of Prince Jing.

"How did your royal brother know this?" Prince Jing asked expressionlessly.

The emperor said: "Qiao Dong died two days ago. I have already found out that he was the murderer of my mother. Before he died, he mentioned a few names, Liu Chen, Wang Decai, and Han Yun..."

An Jiu didn't expect Qiao Dong to say so much before he died. He was really a considerate person...

[It doesn’t matter whether Qiao Dong said it or not. I said he said it, so he said it. 】

[I want to see how you respond?] 】

An Jiu: "..."

The emperor did not look at Prince Jing after he finished speaking, but instead looked at the rising and falling of the tea leaves in the teacup.

[Xiao Yu, what exactly do you want to do? 】

"Royal brother, what do you mean by what I said?" Prince Jing looked at the emperor, his expression obviously getting colder.

The emperor was in a dilemma: "Han Yun is now with Concubine Shu, and Qiao Dong is dead. It is not easy for me to deal with Han Yun based on what he said before his death."

Prince Jing laughed angrily: "Brother, you want to provide evidence now that you have arrested a eunuch?"

This is obviously a mockery.

But the emperor said: "There is also Concubine Shu. I have to consider Concubine Shu's face."

After a pause, he continued, "Besides, Han Yun has become a spy, maybe Concubine Shu has also been bewitched by him... and the Concubine has you, Prince Duan, I am worried that it will affect our brotherly relationship."

The smile on Prince Jing's face faded again.

"Brother, Your Majesty, you are above all others, why do you have to worry about us?"

The emperor looked at him and asked, "Do you really think so?"

Prince Jing asked: "What else? Isn't that what my brother is waiting for me to say?"

The emperor asked again: "What if we find out about Concubine Hui's mother from Han Yun... and there are problems too?"

Prince Jing's face darkened.

"Brother, do you have to rely on your words to tell me everything?"

The emperor chuckled: "Look, you are angry again, what do you think?"

Prince Jing said: "I don't like this assumption very much."

The emperor picked up the teacup and gently scratched it with the lid. The room was very quiet, so the sound was particularly harsh.

"Then I will arrest Han Yun..." The emperor put the teacup on the table.

Prince Jing looked at him, was silent for a while, and sneered: "Brother, you don't need to ask me what you want to do."

…

After leaving Prince Jing's Mansion, An Jiu breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor got on the carriage, hugged Anjiu and asked proudly: "Xiaojiu, was I very powerful just now?"

An Jiu was speechless, pushed him away, and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of Prince Jing's..."

The emperor shook his head: "Old Five is not someone who would turn hostile to me in person, but I have already overturned the table, and they will make some moves next."

He wanted Xiaojiu to live a peaceful life, so he had to eliminate these hidden dangers in the harem...

What if another Qiao Dong comes? Can he still keep on guard?

There are always times of negligence.

If Xiaojiu died, he would find it hard to accept just thinking about it.

Therefore, he wanted these people to take the initiative to attack.

Then catch them all in one swoop.

After returning to the palace, An Jiu learned that before leaving the palace, the emperor had ordered the arrest of Han Yun.

Unfortunately, Jiang Sheng came up empty-handed.

Han Yun was not in the palace.

An Jiu frowned: "Your Majesty, could the person behind the screen be Han Yun?"

The emperor also had this guess, and he said to Jiang Sheng: "Keep a close eye on these people."

The emperor's actions caused quite a stir, especially among Concubine Shu and

She sent someone over to ask what happened.

The emperor gave her no answer.

…

Tonight, the emperor went to bed early. An Jiu couldn't wait for the tyrant, so she slept next to the emperor. She thought the tyrant would wake her up, but he didn't. An Jiu slept until dawn, and then she found out that the tyrant had caused a big disaster last night...
