The noisy court suddenly fell silent. The emperor also saw the power of this snake for the first time, and his face turned ashen.
The cage fell to the ground and everyone retreated in panic, no one dared to touch it.
Fortunately, the snake seemed to have just been shaken awake. It curled up again and closed its pupils, with no intention of coming out of the cage.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Gou Yuanjing stared blankly at the hole in his palm, blood dripping out. He seemed to feel the pain, holding his hand and screaming, rolling on the ground in pain.
The emperor sighed helplessly: "Go and ask the imperial physician... No, let's ask Miss Jiang San!"
An ordinary imperial physician probably wouldn't be able to handle such a poison.
He looked at Gou Yuanjing rolling on the ground and felt very annoyed.
Day after day, you just cause trouble for him!
If there are a few more court officials like this, Tianqi will be over sooner or later!
The emperor had a headache, and Jiang Zhiyu was not feeling well either.
Upon hearing that the emperor was going to summon Jiang Zhiyu again, Xu Youran hurried to Linfengju and personally called Jiang Zhiyu to get up.
It was only five in the morning, and Jiang Zhiyu was sleeping soundly, wrapped up like a silkworm chrysalis, when she heard Xu Youran calling out softly, "Zhiyu, the emperor has summoned you. It's time to get up."
Jiang Zhiyugu surged twice.
In late autumn, the weather is getting colder. For Jiang Zhiyu, who is afraid of the cold, now is the end of her life!
Xu Youran continued, "Zhiyu, it's time to get up. Someone is waiting outside."
"Baby fish?"
“…”
Jiang Zhiyu turned over, and the boss opened his eyes reluctantly: "I know."
[I'm so impressed! Will the emperor not live to see noon? Why are you calling me?!]
[Can I just die? I can even take a vacation after I die!]
Xu Youran: “…”
You can't say this, it's a serious crime that will lead to confiscation of property!
However, Zhiyu had said so much about confiscating the property last time, but the emperor had no reaction. The emperor would definitely not care about these two sentences.
Jiang Zhiyu continued to curse in her heart. After hearing it so much, Xu Youran felt that it was better to have too many debts than to be burdened. He quickly washed her up, put clothes on her, and stuffed her into the carriage.
…
Inside the Golden Palace, the imperial physician hurriedly stopped Gou Yuanjing's bleeding. Gou Yuanjing lay on the ground, feeling dizzy in front of his eyes, as if he had seen his grandmother.
Jiang Zhiyu was about to salute when the emperor waved his hand and said, "Forget that. Go and take a look at Sikong. There's a hole in his palm from the snake venom. Will the venom spread?"
Jiang Zhiyu walked up to Gou Yuanjing, and He Yanting also came over at some point and described to her what had just happened.
After hearing what He Yanting said, Jiang Zhiyu said directly: “…”
【Silence is my mother tongue.】
【If you don't commit suicide, you won't die. 】
He Yanting nodded seriously.
That makes sense!
After witnessing the power of the snake, the ministers' understanding of Jiang Zhiyu reached a new level. Faced with life and death, Gou Yuanjing did not dare to act rashly and quickly stretched out his hand.
Jiang Zhiyu gave it a quick check and said, "It's fine. The Gu snake hasn't been fully cultivated yet. This only increased the corrosiveness of the venom, not its toxicity. Furthermore, it passed through too quickly, so the venom didn't penetrate the flesh."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After relaxation, fear comes.
Fortunately, the Third Miss discovered what the Southern Gu Prince was doing, otherwise, when the Gu snake was bred, it would really be as Mr. He said, and who knows how many people would have died!
With such a great achievement, what does a small secretary count for?
It is the position of prime minister!
...No, the Prime Minister is her father, so it's okay.
The emperor took in the expressions of his ministers and chuckled, "What do you think? Do you have any objections to my decision?"
Who else could have this? Everyone knelt down.
Now that he is here, Jiang Zhiyu, the secretary, should naturally go to court.
In order to prevent her from feeling uncomfortable, the emperor specially asked her to stand next to Jiang Zhaorong.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
She was dumbfounded.
[Okay, okay, let’s play it this way, right?]
The sun is shining brightly in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me, the birds are saying good morning, good morning. Why are you carrying this little space on your back? I'm going to blow up the palace. I've buried gunpowder underneath. Boom boom boom, boom boom boom, blow everything up to the sky!
Jiang Zhaorong: “!!!”
emperor:"!!!"
He Yanting: “…”
They were wondering why she wanted to sing, but after hearing the lyrics, they suddenly understood.
Jiang Zhaorong's legs went weak and trembled.
No, my baby, the emperor can hear you!
Are you trying to kill me, a poor old father, with these lyrics?
No, it should be the lives of our entire family!
Jiang Zhaorong looked up at the emperor tremblingly, but saw that there was no anger on the emperor's face, and there was even a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Hiss, Jiang Zhaorong couldn't help but take a breath.
Is His Majesty so angry that he's laughing?
To prevent Jiang Zhiyu from dying with them, the emperor said softly, "Minister Jiang must be tired after traveling all the way here. Go to the side hall of the Imperial Study to rest and resume your duties after the court session."
Fuping came over with great tact and led the way for Jiang Zhiyu.
[Can you still sleep? Then don't blow it up for now.]
[But this official title is interesting. Uncle Shi, ha ha ha ha, suddenly my seniority has been elevated!]
emperor:"……"
He Yanting: “…”
Jiang Zhaorong: “…”
What uncle?!
It’s Shishu!
How could Jiang Zhiyu win the emperor's favor so much? Not only was he exempted from attending court, but he was also allowed to rest in the imperial study's side hall? You know, the imperial study's side hall was where the emperor rested when he was tired of reviewing memorials!
Everyone's eyes changed, and they wondered if they had any children of the right age. If this marriage was successful, wouldn't their future be smooth sailing?!
After leaving the hall, Fu Ping immediately complimented him: "Congratulations to Secretary Jiang."
Jiang Zhiyu returned the greeting and said, "Congratulations, everyone."
On the way to the imperial study, Jiang Zhiyu and Fuping talked a lot. Fuping had followed the emperor for many years and was a shrewd man among men, his flattery being just right.
The two chatted happily along the way. Fu Ping led Jiang Zhiyu to the side hall and said, "Minister Jiang, let's go back to the emperor first. There are eunuchs guarding outside. You should rest well."
Jiang Zhiyu nodded, lay on the bed, stared at the bright yellow tent ceiling for a while, and slowly fell asleep.
…
A group of Jinyiwei rode at full speed to the palace of Prince Nan Gu in the north of the city. At that time, Malzahar was breeding new Gu worms with his own blood.
Jiang Zhiyu collected all the poisonous insects, except for the mother poisonous insect in his body and these little useless insects.
I originally planned to use them as nutrients, but I didn't expect that now I have to rely on them.
Malzahar laughed at himself and dripped blood into the bowl. Immediately, the poisonous insects rushed to eat it like moths to flames.
Jiang, Zhi, Fish!
Every time Malzahar thought of this name, he felt the pain in his body deepen. He stroked his wrist with a vicious look in his eyes.
When I catch her, I will bring her back to Nan Gu and throw her into the Wan Gu Pool. I will watch her being eaten up by the poisonous insects with my own eyes. Only then can I ease the hatred in my heart!
