Chapter 336: The Concubine Does Not Harm the Country, She Only Wants to Harm the Imperial Master (Forty)
Yu Huo didn't bother to list Shangshu Yin's faults, but simply said, "Your Majesty, I don't like Shangshu Yin."
The answer was so sudden that Yue Wu was unable to react for a moment.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, and the person who came echoed loudly: "I hate that Lord Yin too."
Upon hearing this, Yue Wu looked towards the palace gate and asked, "Why hasn't the beauty come over these past two days?"
Jiang Feng stood there and explained with a smile: "I'm busy with the flood in Huainan."
Yue Wu was dazed for a moment, then remembered Yu Huo's report and asked, "How is Huainan Prefecture doing now?"
"Everything is under control, Your Majesty, please rest assured."
Yue Wu simply asked, then waved to the person who came and patted the bedside: "Beauty, come and sit next to me."
Jiang Feng walked forward as he was told and sat on the edge of the bed.
Yue Wu stretched out his hand to grab the other person's wrist, but before he could touch the white skin, his palm was replaced by a warm teacup.
Yue Wu looked at the teacup that was brought to him, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the young man who had walked between them at some point.
The other person's eyes were filled with concern, and he said softly, "Your Majesty, your voice is a little dry, please drink some water."
When Yue Wu heard this, she was so angry that she couldn't vent it. She clenched the teacup in her hand, stood up and took a sip.
During this time, the young man's calm voice sounded again in his ears: "Your Majesty, since Minister Yin is not here, who should preside over the court?"
Yue Wu stuffed the half-finished cup of tea back into Eunuch Gao's hands. The impatience buried deep in her heart was about to burst out from her brows and eyes: "Then the Minister of Revenue..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yu Huo: "Your Majesty, the Minister of Revenue is old and just took leave yesterday."
Yue Wu frowned: "Then the Minister of Works!"
Seeing Yue Wu about to lose her temper, Jiang Feng interrupted, "The Minister of Works is very busy. The dam in Huainan Prefecture was washed away by the river. The Minister is leading all the officials in the Ministry of Works working day and night to rebuild the dam. I'm afraid he won't have time to coordinate with the officials."
Seeing that the person who spoke was Jiang Feng, Yue Wu could only suppress his anger again and asked the instigator: "Then according to the Grand Master's opinion, who can take on this important task?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Huo tightened his sleeves and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have received news that the Empress will be returning to the capital soon. It is most appropriate for the mother of a nation to temporarily take charge of the affairs of the court."
Yue Wu looked up at him for a few seconds, her eyes full of worry: "How can she, a woman, handle the affairs of state?"
Yu Huo chuckled: "Of course it's about using your hands and brain, not your gender. Your Majesty, don't worry."
Yue Wu: "..."
Yu Huo's words were unpleasant to the ear, but with Jiang Feng's support, it gave Xiang Zhige a legitimate opportunity to handle state affairs.
By the time we left the palace, it was already dark.
As Yu Huo's carriage left the palace, the sound of horse hooves came from far away behind him.
Xiao Zhuzi stopped the carriage and looked at the handsome man riding a tall horse blocking the middle of the road. He turned around and opened the curtain of the carriage very tactfully.
Jiang Feng lowered his eyes to glance at the young man behind the curtain and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you wait for me and left first?"
The young man glanced at him and quickly looked away: "Noble Concubine Jiang, you are joking. You and I are of different status. It is better for us to go our separate ways."
Jiang Feng rode his black horse slowly towards the carriage and stopped in front of it. He said with a complaining voice, "Why didn't you mention the difference in status when you asked me for help?"
Yu Huo asked back: "Did I ask you to help me?"
Jiang Feng was silent for a few seconds, then leaned closer, his eyes fixed on the other person's handsome face: "You are so heartless..."
Yu Huo pursed his lips and said nothing.
Perhaps he didn't control the strength when pursing his lips, so the young man's thin lips were faintly flushed, which was particularly prominent in the night.
I have to say, the Imperial Master... is quite pretty.
Jiang Feng swallowed his saliva and guessed, "Are you jealous? Even if you hadn't handed me that cup of tea, I wouldn't have let Yue Wu touch me."
When Yu Huo heard this, his expression froze inexplicably, and his words even carried the panic of having his embarrassment exposed: "I didn't do that. Don't talk nonsense."
Jiang Feng looked at him straight and chuckled: "Really? I don't believe it."
Yu Huo: "..."
Believe it or not!
He cursed inwardly, quickly pulled back the curtain, and ordered in a cold voice: "Xiao Zhuzi, don't stop randomly when walking on the road at night. Be careful of encountering ghosts on the road. Go back home!"
Xiao Zhuzi glanced at the 'beautiful ghost' in front of him and laughed dryly.
Jiang Feng seemed to be in a good mood. He did not make things difficult for the other party. He straightened his back and actually made way.
Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly drove the carriage to the Imperial Master's Mansion.
The journey was like chasing clouds and catching up with the moon. In less than an incense stick of time, they returned to the Imperial Master's Mansion. Before they even entered the door, the sound of horse hooves rang in their ears again.
Xiao Zhuzi thought that Jiang Feng was chasing him, and looked back curiously.
Upon closer look, he discovered that the person who came was not Jiang Feng, but the Queen Mother whom he had not seen for a long time.
Seeing the other party rushing towards them at lightning speed, Xiao Zhuzi quickly turned around and reported: "Brother Yu, it's the Queen."
“Ouch—”
Almost instantly, Xiang Zhige's loud voice came from outside the carriage.
Yu Huo suddenly lifted the carriage curtain and looked at the woman in light armor who came alone. He asked in surprise, "Xiang Zhige? Why are you back so soon? You came back alone?!"
Xiang Zhige had lost a lot of weight, and his face was haggard from the journey. "No, I got back on my own first."
Xiang Zhige jumped off the horse and forced the reins into Xiao Zhuzi's hand, then dragged Yu Huo off the car and pulled him into the Imperial Master's Mansion.
Yu Huo staggered when he was dragged and almost tripped over the threshold of his own house.
Fortunately, a hand reached out in time and pulled Yu Huo over: "Watch your step."
Yu Huo's eyes widened in shock, and he looked up at the arm that was holding him. Then he asked, "What are you doing guarding my door in the middle of the night?"
Jiang Feng glanced at him calmly, then calmly separated his fingers and clasped his hands together. He then looked at the dusty Xiang Zhige and said sarcastically, "I'm here to keep you from falling."
Xiang Zhige stared blankly at their clasped hands, his brows twitching. "When did you two become so close? Does Yue Wu know about this?"
Yu Huo blinked and subconsciously wanted to shake off Jiang Feng's hand.
Who knew what was wrong with this guy? He refused to let go no matter what. Facing Xiang Zhige's straightforward gaze, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
day!
Although he didn't want to hide this relationship, he also didn't want to reveal it to the world without any preparation!
As if sensing the embarrassment on his face, Xiang Zhige opened his mouth and suddenly suggested, "Can you two hold off on holding hands for a while? I'm dying of thirst. Otherwise, give me a full pot of water first."
