"Your Majesty!"
From the look Lu Yun gave Liang Jing, he knew that she would be wondering why the two of them were dressed like beggars and what had happened.
"What's wrong with you?" Liang Jing asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, the reason you saw me wearing beggar's clothes is because we were attacked on the road."
"The other party is a great master, very powerful, and forced to exchange his life for yours. I was able to come back alive because of the responsibility of His Majesty and the protection of Miss Ye."
"This..." Liang Jing guessed right. There was indeed someone who wanted to kill Lu You when he came back, but who was this person?
"I understand, Xiao Yunzi, I'm glad you're back. I'll definitely do everything I can to get to the bottom of this matter."
Lu Yun smiled softly, "Your Majesty, I will investigate this matter myself."
"In this court, there are many people who don't want me to come back, including the Left Prime Minister Yang Zhong and the Right Prime Minister Wang An. They are all harboring evil intentions and don't want me to come back."
"And these civil officials in the court don't want me to come back, because once I come back, it will affect their interests. There's even the current commander of the Western Factory!"
Hearing this, Liang Jing smiled awkwardly and quickly explained: "Xiao Yunzi, I won't hide it from you anymore. You know this matter well anyway."
"I can't do anything! The situation in the court changed drastically the moment you left. I finally had a little power, but it was taken away by these people in an instant."
"The commander of the Western Factory you left behind has been impeached by many ministers and has made a grave mistake. I know, of course, that this was not his doing, but the evidence is irrefutable, and I must deal with him according to the law."
"I originally wanted to select a commander from the Western Factory, or find one from among the eunuchs in the Imperial Palace whom I trust."
"But these ministers insist on choosing for themselves and won't let me interfere. I have no choice! So many ministers in the court are all against me."
"Even Prime Minister Wang An was unwilling to do so."
Lu Yun could understand this matter. As the prime minister and the emperor's assistant minister, Wang An must consider the interests of the Great Zhou.
He had known Wang An before. This man was indeed good at serving the country and the people, but he didn't seem to like him.
Especially since he was a eunuch himself, he seemed to look down on eunuchs.
The more power a eunuch like him has, the more of a threat he becomes to Wang An. He even thinks that eunuchs are detrimental to the country, so he tries every means to remove himself from the center of power.
He was naturally very angry that the Western Factory, which he had founded with great effort, was taken over by someone else.
"Your Majesty, I know everything about this matter, so don't worry."
"I will investigate thoroughly and take back the power of the West Factory!"
"The Western Factory was originally established for Your Majesty, but now it has been taken away by these officials. How despicable!"
"Your Majesty, I suggest that these ministers in the court be punished."
"We need to let them know the terror of our Western Factory. If they continue to behave like this, Your Majesty can definitely replace them."
"Is it okay?" Liang Jing was stunned for a moment, quite surprised.
"sure."
"Xiao Yunzi, you just came back, hurry up and change your clothes, I will give you a feast."
"Your Majesty, let's talk about it tonight. I'm really tired now. It's good that you can come back, because we think that as long as we can return to the palace, everything will be safe."
Liang Jing nodded and said excitedly, "Don't worry, I understand you."
"If anyone dares to act recklessly in the palace, I will never let him off easily."
"good."
Lu Yun didn't think much about it and quickly took Ye Jiajia back to his room.
…
The news of Lu Yun's return quickly spread throughout the palace and reached the ears of the ministers.
They never expected that Lu Yun would come back so soon.
I didn't expect that he was wearing beggar's clothes. It was obvious that he was in danger and was assassinated.
Then for some time to come, the entire capital will be a scene of blood and gore.
I’m afraid it will be really terrifying then!
These ministers were all very clear about it in their hearts, but they did not dare to think too much about it.
And so, wait until night.
Only then did Lu Yun open his eyes and go to look for Liang Jing.
As for Ye Jiajia, although she is a master, she is now seriously injured and still needs to recuperate.
Lu Yun quickly asked the eunuchs in the palace to find some nourishing medicine and take a good look at Ye Jiajia's health.
It would be great if there was a decoction that could restore the body and restore that part of the body, but these imperial doctors basically don't know of such a thing.
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Liang Jing had already asked the people in the imperial kitchen to prepare the meal. Tonight, it was just the two of them drinking here. No one would disturb them and everything was peaceful.
"Your Majesty."
Liang Jing waved his hand, "No need to be so polite."
At this time, Liang Jing was still wearing his emperor's clothes, but for some reason, his face was always red.
"Your Majesty, why are you blushing?"
"Ah? Am I blushing?" Liang Jing looked at him embarrassedly, and then quickly asked him to sit down.
Two people sat opposite each other, looking at each other.
Liang Jing poured a glass of wine and said to Lu Yun, "This glass of wine is for you!"
"I am very happy that you have fulfilled your mission and brought such great disturbance to the Barbarian Kingdom on the grassland, and even weakened their power."
“Now the barbarian king of the grassland has become the queen, all thanks to you, and if this battle hadn’t happened because of you.
I'm afraid that our Great Zhou is really going to lose, and Du Ruofu might really go straight to Huanglong and come to the capital."
"Yes." Lu Yun sighed. He could still claim the credit. It was because of him that he was able to remain safe and sound. Otherwise, the ministers in the court would definitely be in a panic.
Lu Yun drank a glass of wine, and Liang Jing poured another glass.
"I respect you again for killing Du Ruofu and taking back the lost territory of our continent. Those cities, and our most important Thousand Swords Pass, if lost, would have had serious consequences, but you took them back."
Lu Yun drank it all in one gulp. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"These are what I should do as a subject."
"Actually, this matter is still my fault. If I had been faster and not dawdled so much, I'm afraid those cities would not have been lost. If I had been more cautious.
Du Ruofu might have been killed long ago. He simply didn't have the power to mobilize troops and attack our Great Zhou."
“Things wouldn’t be as bad as they are now.”
