Chapter 192: Lay a Dragnet to Catch the Turtle in the Jar
In the front hall.
Princess Anran thought that if her nephew returned to Jizhou, Sheng Yunshao would probably go back with him!
Thinking of this, she turned her head to glance at Sheng Yunshao who was sitting there.
In fact, it is very simple to keep him, just pretend to be sick.
But, what if he sees through me during the diagnosis...
Jiang Ruo looked between Sheng Yunshao and the other man, and smiled with her hands covering her lips as she saw their conflicted expressions.
As long as one of them breaks this window paper, the old man will definitely win the princess.
"Old man, are you going to stay in the capital or return to Jizhou?"
You are reluctant to leave, and your future mother is reluctant to let you go too.
Then you should stay in the capital!
Sheng Yunshao looked at Jiang Ruo's cunning eyes, covered his lips and coughed lightly.
He made up his mind immediately and thought of an excuse.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess still needs two courses of treatment, so... I want to stay in the capital." After Sheng Yunshao finished speaking, he glanced at Princess An Ran with a vague look.
When he saw the joy in Princess Anran's eyes, he felt a little relieved.
In his previous life, he didn't meet his ideal partner.
Since God has given him a chance, he must seize it.
Jiang Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
Haha, the old man finally got it.
So, she said seriously: "In that case, you should stay in the capital for now!"
"By the way, Auntie is delicate and weak, you must take good care of her."
After Jiang Ruo finished speaking, she blinked her innocent big eyes.
I almost said baldness.
Sheng Yunshao: “…”
You little bitch, doesn’t your dad have any respect?
"With my medical skills, I will definitely restore the princess to health."
Princess Anran, with her ears red, replied, "In that case, I thank you, Brother Sheng."
I was secretly delighted.
Unexpectedly, he actually took the initiative to stay.
Xiao Chengjin couldn't help but blush when he heard the "tiger words" from Jiang Ruo.
The atmosphere in the lobby suddenly became lively.
"Jin'er, Ruoruo, you still have to travel tonight, so go back and rest first!"
"Aunt, we'll go back to our room first."
Before leaving, Jiang Ruo gave Sheng Yunshao a look that said "come on!"
After Sheng Yunshao and Princess Anran watched Xiao Chengjin and the other two leave, they exchanged a few polite words with red faces and returned to their respective courtyards.
The happiest people were Aunt Cen and her companions.
They thought that Sheng Yunshao must be fond of their princess.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
Jiang Ruo took out the little phoenix from the space.
"Xiaofeng, let's go back to Jizhou."
Little Phoenix complained disdainfully, "Just go back. There's nothing fun to do in the capital anyway."
Alas, ever since the dog man woke up, it has completely fallen out of favor.
I don’t even have a companion. I feel so lonely!
Jiang Ruo and Xiao Chengjin sensed the resentful aura of the little phoenix and glanced at each other secretly.
It’s time to find a partner for our Xiaofeng.
Where should I look for it?
You can't just find a hen and put it into the space!
If that happens, Xiaofeng will go crazy again.
Sad!
The two men and the phoenix quietly left the capital.
The two secret guards hiding in the dark caught a glimpse of the golden shadow flashing through the princess's mansion and quickly closed their eyes.
While they were shocked, they said: We didn’t see anything.
The little phoenix took off into the sky, circled a few times in the sky, and then flew towards Jizhou.
Just like last time, Jiang Ruo was sleeping and Xiao Chengjin held her in his arms.
The imperial palace.
Xiao Junze lay on the dragon bed for the whole day.
After hearing that the East Palace storehouse had been robbed, he was so angry that he almost fainted.
He tossed and turned at night and paced back and forth outside the bedroom.
Thinking of the series of thefts in the warehouse, he was so angry that he wanted to curse.
The most hateful thing is that he actually stole his throne.
This is intolerable!
Although this person has superpowers, he is too arrogant.
He thought bitterly: I had originally wanted to use it for my own benefit.
Humph! I can't keep him here.
Manager Ji followed behind Xiao Junze, not daring to breathe.
After thinking it over, he stepped forward and reminded: "Your Majesty, it's late, you should go to bed early!"
Xiao Junze stopped and stood with his hands behind his back, "A lot of bad things have happened recently, and I can't sleep."
Steward Ji put on an anxious look and earnestly advised: "Your Majesty, you work hard for the country every day, you must take care of your health!"
"I will take good care of the dragon's body."
After all, I haven't been emperor long enough.
Just as Xiao Junze looked up at the night sky, he suddenly saw several golden lights.
He rubbed his eyes and saw a flash of golden light disappear into the night sky.
Xiao Junze didn't have time to think about anything. He pointed at the night sky and shouted excitedly: "Did you see the golden light?"
The golden light appeared again.
No, it was someone with "superpowers" who appeared.
Chief Steward Ji and several eunuchs serving beside him were shocked when they saw Xiao Junze's startled look.
They looked at each other and replied tremblingly, "Your Majesty, please forgive us for our poor eyesight and for not seeing the golden light."
See the golden light?
Unless there is gold right under the noses of us slaves.
"All of you keep an eye on the southwest direction for me." Xiao Junze said, spinning around excitedly.
Well, he's causing trouble again.
We must find a way to catch him.
"I obey your order!"
Chief Steward Ji and several eunuchs glanced at the nervous Xiao Junze and looked up at the night sky in the southwest.
I wish I could stare a hole in the night sky.
After Xiao Junze pondered for a moment, he instructed Chief Steward Ji, "Pass on my order. The Imperial Guards patrolling outside the palace tonight are to search the entire city for any suspicious 'mysterious individuals.'"
"I obey your command!"
Chief Steward Ji bowed and left the bedroom, conveying Xiao Junze's order.
Qin Zhen and several of his brothers happened to be on duty tonight. Listening to the orders coming down from above, they glanced in the direction of the palace with disdain.
If you can’t even keep the throne, why sit on it?
So, the imperial guards patrolling outside the palace began to surround the capital city in search of the golden light in the night sky.
Manager Ji stood outside for a long time before slowly returning to the bedroom.
During this time, he sorted out the bad things that had happened recently.
Finally, he came to a conclusion: this "capable man" also has weaknesses.
That is, this person is greedy for money and is a money-grubber.
As the chief steward of the emperor, he should help the emperor to share his worries and solve his problems.
Looking at Xiao Junze standing there staring at the night sky, Manager Ji walked over.
He bowed slightly and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, I have suddenly thought of a way to deal with this thief."
Xiao Junze was delighted when he heard this, "Tell me about it."
Chief Steward Ji frowned, his expression unusually serious. "Your Majesty, I believe this thief targeted the storehouse specifically because he's obsessed with money."
"So, the Emperor only needs to lay a tight net to lure this thief out..."
After listening to what Manager Ji said, Xiao Junze suddenly understood.
He blurted out, "Set a dragnet and catch the turtle in the jar."
"This plan is brilliant!"
Imagining that "inspiring" scene, Xiao Junze couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Several eunuchs listened to the long-lost laughter and breathed a sigh of relief.
Manager Ji is indeed the emperor's favorite, he is really smart!
With just a few words, the emperor was greatly pleased.
Jiang Ruo: Look how proud you are.
What a pity, it was all for nothing.
