Xiao Mingye opened his mouth in shock.
His face changed as if ink had been spilled on a scroll, and his expression was extremely distorted. It took him a long time to barely return to normal.
He looked at Jiang Wenjing suspiciously, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Don't talk nonsense! There's no precedent for women serving as officials in Tianqi, let alone such an important position as the Imperial Censor!"
Although he spoke with confidence, he did not dare to glance towards Jiang Zhiyu for a moment.
Jiang Zhiyu's comment on this is:
【strong.】
【Just pretend to be dead. 】
Xiao Mingye: "..."
He pursed his lips. The tall man of over 1.8 meters looked very aggrieved.
Jiang Wenjing wanted to tease him, but when he glanced at Ji Tong, he looked away.
Now that I know his identity, I don't have the habit of giving it to others to use against me.
He chuckled and tried to smooth things over: "Your Highness, what you just said was just a joke, right? Just to tease us."
He raised the end of his voice, with a hint of threat in his tone.
Xiao Mingye: “…Exactly.”
Ji Tong also chuckled and echoed a few words. The regret in his eyes was suppressed by him. He began to re-evaluate the importance of Xiao Mingye in his heart.
Since Xiao Mingye has the intention of rebellion, he has to lure him more. No matter how useless Xiao Mingye is, he is still a prince. It will be easier for him to assassinate the emperor than for an ordinary assassin.
What's more, apart from not being favored by the emperor, Xiao Mingye is still outstanding in other aspects. Although he is unwilling to admit it, as long as Xiao Mingye succeeds, Tianqi will inevitably be in chaos.
By then, he would cooperate with Heshuo in Shengjing.
In this way, there will be no worries about taking down Apocalypse!
No one present cared about what he was thinking. When Xiao Mingye thought of what had just happened, his ears felt hot and his cheeks felt as if they were burned by fire.
Feeling like sitting on pins and needles and having a thorn in his back is a true portrayal of him at the moment.
What's more, Jiang Zhiyu beside him kept smiling at him...
He couldn't stay in this place for even a second!
Xiao Mingye suddenly stood up, and everyone else looked at him.
Xiao Mingye: "..."
The forced demeanor he had put on suddenly collapsed. His face flushed, and his voice was a little shaky: "I, Your Highness, I remember that I have an appointment. I will take my leave now."
Although Jiang Wenjing felt a little regretful, he stood up and prepared to see him off, but Xiao Mingye held out his hand to stop him: "No need to see me off."
Leave him alone!
As the old saying goes, "Blind, all blind, blind spots are good."
【Just pretend you don’t see it.】
He looked like he was about to break.
Xiao Mingye: "..."
He paused.
Jiang Wenjing: “…Puff.”
He tried to hold it back, but couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hearing the laughter, Xiao Mingye lowered his eyes, with a resentful expression, and glared at him fiercely. Then he turned and walked away, making a sound with every step, obviously very angry.
Jiang Wenjing: "..."
I want to laugh even more!
…
After leaving the mansion, Xiao Mingye got on his horse with a normal expression, walked through the crowd on the street, and returned to the restaurant.
When the staff heard that he had returned, they hurriedly knocked on his door and waited for a long time, but there was no response from inside the room.
The staff member's eyes turned and he pushed open the door. The room was simply furnished with only a bed, a table and a cabinet.
The staff member's eyes swept across the bed and the table, and then stopped directly on the cabinet. He took a deep breath, opened the cabinet door, and saw Xiao Mingye curled up in the closet.
A tall man of about 1.8 meters was curled up in the cabinet, his arms tightly hugging his legs, his eyes empty. It was unknown how long he had been there.
The staff stood patiently by his side, waiting for him to adjust. After a while, they saw his fingers move slightly, and then they called out softly, "Your Highness, it's time to come out."
Xiao Mingye closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a gleam of light flashed in them. He slowly stood up, and his staff reached out to help him out of the cabinet. Xiao Mingye rubbed his sore legs and asked, "What's wrong?"
The staff member did not mention what had just happened, and said softly: "Your Highness mentioned the uprising..."
Before he could finish, Xiao Mingye started to cry out like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "What kind of uprising! What kind of uprising! What kind of uprising!"
As if they were already used to his sudden startles, the staff members weren't frightened at all. They just looked at him with confusion: "Didn't Your Highness tell us this morning that you wanted to persuade the Nan Gu to revolt?"
It's not even noon yet, have you forgotten?
Xiao Mingye: "..."
He hugged his head in pain. He had just recovered from his shock. Why did you have to remind him again?
The staff ignored his collapse and said to himself, "I think this is inappropriate. The Southern Gu people are cunning and cunning, and the Gu insects are even more difficult to guard against. Although Censor Jiang taught us some preventative techniques, in the end..."
Xiao Mingye interrupted him again: "Imperial Censor Jiang?"
"..." The staff member tried his best to resist the urge to roll his eyes: "Yes, you should know that Jiang Yushi is your good friend, Jiang Wenjing's sister. The emperor is the Marquis of Anle..."
Before the aide could finish, Xiao Mingye interrupted him again: "No, Your Highness doesn't know. Since you knew she was the Imperial Censor, why didn't you tell Your Highness earlier?"
Staff: “…”
"This is something everyone in Shengjing knows. I thought you heard about it on the first day you came to Shengjing..."
Everyone knows it? Then why doesn't he know it?
Xiao Mingye gritted his teeth.
What, I'm not even considered a human being?!
Xiao Mingye opened his mouth.
Seeing that he was about to interrupt him again, the staff member could no longer bear it and said, "Your Highness, please listen to what I have to say first!"
Xiao Mingye: "..."
The staff member said in one breath, "I didn't tell Your Highness not only because I thought Your Highness knew, but also because she had nothing to do with our plan."
How come it doesn’t matter? If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have embarrassed myself so much in front of them!
Thinking of what his staff yelled at him, Xiao Mingye could only complain in his heart.
"Let's get back to the point. Cooperating with Nan Gu will ultimately do more harm than good. Furthermore, our people are all in Youzhou, far from Shengjing. If Your Highness decides to revolt at the last minute, besides the Crown Prince, the only person we can win over is Prince Yu."
"But Your Highness, please don't blame me for being nosy. Prince Yu is unreliable. And Your Highness should also know that Prince Yu seems to be having an affair with Prince Nan Gu."
Xiao Lingyu: “!!!”
No, he doesn't know.
"If we really want to revolt before the palace banquet, with only the Crown Prince and the people we brought with us, we have no chance of winning. If His Highness can convince Jiang Wenjing, perhaps there is still a chance."
The staff analyzed: "Oh, right, didn't Jiang Wenjing come today with a visiting card? Did Your Highness mention this matter to him? What is his attitude?"
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
Enough, that’s enough!
