Next up is the brain teaser session:
In a very secluded room.
"What, Concubine Shang is a man? You want me to save him?" The word "man" was enough for Prince Jiang to digest for a while. Such a treasonous thing, and he still wanted to save... "Why?"
It's almost time for the morning court session.
Yan Miaoling really didn't have time to explain. If she had enough time, she would have gone to rescue him herself. (Mainly because she hadn't figured out how to settle him.)
People make mistakes when they are anxious, and she was also confused.
She stood on tiptoe, clasped Jiang Yutang's head, tilted her head back and took the initiative to kiss him. Then her lips parted, and her tone was very queenly, "Can you do it for me?"
The beauty suddenly kissed him forcefully, and Prince Jiang was stunned.
His eyes widened.
Feeling the slender arm around his neck loosen, he gave up on savoring the feeling of their first kiss and grabbed her by the waist.
It’s great to be young.
You can be impulsive, I can be brainless.
The agreement was simple: no questions, no fear. Jiang Yutang said nothing, staring down at Yan Miaoling, whose face was blushing and shy, "Alright! Whatever you say, it's done!"
Yan Miaoling regained her senses. She had thought she would be ridiculed, but she didn't expect the other party to agree so readily.
She made a decision in her heart. She hadn't developed any romantic feelings for any of the ten men she'd dated. At this moment, for Lan Shang, she impulsively provoked Jiang Yutang.
Then when the dust settles, she will definitely be responsible for him.
After thinking this in his heart, there was nothing he couldn't confess. "I want you to convince the Queen Mother to protect Lan Shang. It's impossible to release him directly, but at least ensure that he is safe before the new king ascends the throne. Can you do it?"
Jiang Yutang probably didn't even listen to the other person's request carefully, and nodded blankly, "Yes!" The beauty's eyes were moist and pitiful. If he didn't agree, he would not be a man.
Yan Miaoling thought about her plan for the near future, "I want Xiaoyao Palace to support my favorite heir. Can you do that?"
This was a really difficult request; she hadn't expected an answer. She just wanted to leave an impression, and at least not turn to support others at a critical moment. That would satisfy her.
But who would have thought that this son of a fool would nod again and say, "Yes~"
Holding the beautiful woman's waist, she was so soft that his mind was distracted and he didn't think much about it. He just remembered that he supported what she supported. He supported the Xiaoyao Palace in the west.
After giving the instructions, Yan Miaoling did not stay any longer. "Take care!" she said, and then disappeared from the spot.
Jiang Yutang was truly a complete idiot. Upon seeing this strange sight, he chased after it for a while, then turned back when he saw no one. He actually used a hard object to dig into the ground, creating a massive hole in the masonry.
Finally, I had to accept reality.
Muttering to himself, "Are you really not a human, but...ah, a ghost!"
He dropped his tools and ran as fast as a dog could chase him. All he could think about was the middle of the night, when no one could see her but him. He was filled with extreme fear.
After running for a while, he stopped. He touched her mouth (warm and soft when kissed), then looked at her hands (slender waist when hugged), "Alas, even if it's a ghost, this prince is not at all at a disadvantage."
After a while, he arrived at the Empress Dowager's bedroom. Seeing that the female guests were all there, he looked anxious and panicked, "Grandma, can I have a few words with you alone?"
After the Queen Mother dismissed everyone and took him to the secret room.
Jiang Yutang was the first to suggest that the Queen Mother protect Lan Shang.
The Queen Mother had consumed so much salt that her experience was undoubtedly extraordinary. She immediately sensed something was amiss, her eyes fixed, "Tang'er, tell the Imperial Aunt the truth. Was this subterfuge your father's intention?"
"Substituting one thing for another? What does that mean?" Prince Jiang's brain is only good at eating, drinking and having fun. It's almost impossible to get him to think about politics.
After the Queen Mother explained that the Emperor had been abducted last night and his whereabouts were still unknown, he was stunned and swayed.
Damn it!
Little girl, you must know the truth, right? It's so mean of you not to mention such a big thing to the prince.
Look at this guy, his train of thought is bizarre. Even now, he's already worried about how the political situation will change if the emperor disappears, whether there will be a palace coup soon, who will be the next new emperor, and so on.
He was off track and completely off the point.
When the Queen Mother saw this, she knew it wasn't her nephew, Prince Xiaoyao, who did it. She felt a little disappointed.
Chen Er is coming back soon, she thought...
Her hopes dashed, she lost interest. "I'm not a tyrannical person. I won't execute Concubine Shang privately until the matter is fully investigated. Don't worry."
"No, Grandma! I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about the people in the dark..."
The Queen Mother, a veteran in palace fighting, thinks too much.
At this critical moment, the emperor has disappeared. The women in the harem each harbor their own ulterior motives, some even taking precautions. It seems she needs to make plans sooner rather than later.
His eyes were slightly sharp, "Tell the Imperial Aunt, who asked you to protect Concubine Shang?"
The Empress Dowager was like Jiang Yutang's own grandmother. He figured that the girl he liked would eventually become a secret, so he mentioned Yan Miaoling. He never expected that this statement would work better than anything else.
"What? She is behind this..." She is Chen'er's fiancée.
Could it be...
"Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be safe with me."
After sending Jiang Yutang away, the Queen Mother even called out her Fengjin Guards, whom she rarely showed herself to, to secretly guard outside the cell where Lan Shang was. Without her order, not even a fly could fly in.
...
Yan Miaoling was exhausted from running around for half a night and one morning.
Fortunately, she had the Merit Pearl to support her. If she had called upon her clones like this before, she would have been exhausted and fallen asleep.
