Chapter 18: Loyal Guard vs. Romantic Empress (18)



Everyone knows that the prime minister of the current dynasty is the most rule-abiding, and it is the rule of the Celestial Empire that men are not allowed to go to Longyuan Palace. The prime minister will never watch such a thing happen!

Jiang Jingyu walked straight to the dragon throne without stopping and sat down. Ming You stood beside her with an expressionless face, like a guardian god. The silver mask on his face reflected the faint light, making it hard for people not to notice him.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is against the rules of the Celestial Empire for a man to appear in Longyuan Palace. I am certain that Your Majesty will expel this man from Longyuan Palace immediately!"

Another minister followed suit.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mingyou's eyes, as deep as an ancient well, fell on her. The minister swallowed unconsciously, and his whole body was like being stared at by a hungry wolf waiting for an opportunity, and he was sweating profusely!

The minister's gaze unconsciously dodged, and when she came to her senses, she subconsciously straightened her body. What a joke! How could she, the Minister of Rites, be intimidated by a man?

Thinking of this, she held her official posture and looked at Mingyou again. In an instant, her straight back bent uncontrollably and her whole body shrank.

The aura of this person is too scary!

This momentum is not something she, a civil official, can contend with. It is better to leave the task of expelling him from Longyuan Palace to the military generals!

The Shangshu shrank his neck and looked away with peace of mind.

"Rules are made by people, and from now on I will break this rule."

"this……"

Jiang Jingyu's concise and clear words did not bother the ministers.

It seems...there's nothing wrong with what you said?

Jiang Jinghe, who had been frustrated repeatedly, had a slight flicker in his eyes and looked up at Jiang Jingyu who was in a high position.

"Your Majesty, what the Prime Minister and the Minister said is not without reason. Rules have their reasons for existing. Men are fickle creatures. Perhaps one day they will harbor rebellious thoughts. After all, our dynasty has had precedents, right?"

Jiang Jinghe argued confidently, and before Jiang Jingyu could speak, he continued, "Even the one you love most will feel betrayed, let alone a man from outside your family."

It was obvious who Jiang Jinghe was referring to. He was just short of pointing at Jiang Jingyu's nose and saying that her father was a complete traitor.

Jiang Jinghe stared at Jiang Jingyu, wanting to see shame and humiliation on her face and make her feel ashamed of this matter.

Unfortunately, the final result disappointed Jiang Jinghe. Even though she brought up the incident of ten years ago in front of all the officials, Jiang Jingyu's expression remained unchanged. Instead, she looked at Jiang Jinghe as if she were a clown.

She opened her red lips slightly, and said with a smile: "Who said Mingyou is an outsider?"

As soon as the word "Mingyou" came out, the ministers except General Yan and Jiang Jinghe suddenly widened their eyes.

Mingyou, he is Mingyou!!

Before the ministers could recover from their shock, they heard Jiang Jingyu's voice again in the hall.

"He is a lonely man."

This sentence may not mean much to the ministers. After all, they have all heard that there is a mysterious secret guard named Mingyou around His Majesty. Now they are just shocked that His Majesty would bring Mingyou to Longyuan Palace.

But when Mingyou heard it, it had another meaning.

Mingyou's eyes flickered slightly. He had originally fixed his gaze on the Shangshu who wanted to expel him from Longyuan Palace, but after hearing Jiang Jingyu's words, his gaze shifted to Jiang Jingyu in front of him.

The Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief. This evil spirit finally stopped looking at her!

Although the Shangshu believed that men should stay at home to take care of their wives and children and should not appear in a grand and majestic place like Longyuan Palace, the other party was the evil god Mingyou!

I heard that Mingyou alone can defeat a thousand soldiers. Who would dare to take this evil god home to be a wife and raise children?

After much thought, the Shangshu suddenly felt that it would be more appropriate for this evil god to stay by His Majesty's side to protect Him.

Not only the Shangshu thought so, but other ministers also thought so after knowing Mingyou's identity.

For a moment, they didn't dare to say anything about expelling Mingyou from Longyuan Palace. If they accidentally angered the evil spirit, they might not be able to leave alive today!

"It was Gu Yun who entered Longyuan Palace with Mingyou. Don't mention this matter again in the future."

"yes!"

The ministers quickly agreed.

Jiang Jingyu was very satisfied with the ministers' reactions. He glanced at the ministers one by one and paused when he passed Jiang Jinghe standing in the front row of the team.

A hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Jinghe caught it.

The fist under her sleeve clenched tightly in an instant, and she almost bit off her back teeth.

At this moment, Jiang Jinghe was almost certain of one thing: Jiang Jingyu knew everything.

But what if she knew? Jiang Jingyu couldn't find any evidence to prove that she was the one who poisoned Yan Changxu.

It is impossible to cure all poisons with money, but now Jiang Jingyu actually disregarded her own safety and fed the poison to Yan Changxu without blinking an eye. I really don’t know whether to say she is kind or stupid.

In order to win the heart of a minister, he was even willing to sacrifice his own life.

Haha, she is just as stupid as her traitorous father!

Without Wan Du Xiao, Jiang Jingyu could only rely on fighting the poison in her body to stay alive. She wanted to see what Jiang Jingyu would use to stay alive after he finished taking the pills!

Even if Jiang Jinghe endures for a long time, she can still outlast Jiang Jingyu!

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinghe finally felt better.

She has always been like this, always making excuses for her own mistakes, never willing to admit that Jiang Jingyu is more meticulous than her, and will never agree with Jiang Jingyu's approach.

There was no other major event in this morning's court except for the incident where General Yan misunderstood that Jiang Jingyu was plotting to murder Yan Changxu. The ministers mentioned some unimportant matters and then dispersed.

Jiang Jingyu was surrounded by palace maids on both sides, and the sedan chair was parked outside the palace. After dealing with the matters in the Yutian Palace, Nanny Xiang also came to the outside of the Longyuan Palace to wait for Jiang Jingyu to leave the court.

"His Majesty."

Led by Nanny Xiang, the palace maids waiting in front of the sedan chair bowed and saluted.

"You guys should leave first. I want to take a walk. Mingyou can follow me alone."

"yes."

After everyone agreed, they stayed where they were and waited until Jiang Jingyu and Mingyou disappeared from their sight before leaving.

Jiang Jingyu put her hands behind her back and walked on the palace road with Mingyou, one in front and one behind, and finally stopped at a peach forest.

There is a swing in the peach forest, and Jiang Jingyu usually likes to sit here for a while.

Jiang Jingyu sat on the swing, the gentle breeze blowing through her hair, and as the swing swayed, the hem of her red skirt also swayed.

Mingyou held a long sword in his hands, clasped them in front of his chest, stood on the side of the swing and looked forward.

Jiang Jingyu sat on the swing and turned to look at Mingyou, asking, "Today I gave the Wanduxiao to Changxu, do you feel resentful?"

Mingyou shook his head.

Jiang Jingyu added, "The antidote to all poisons is worth a fortune. It must have taken a lot of effort and hardship for you to find it, right?"

Mingyou shook his head again.

Looking at Mingyou who could only shake his head like a piece of wood, Jiang Jingyu curled his lips and turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

As Jiang Jingyu's feet left the ground, the swing gradually stopped shaking. Just when Jiang Jingyu put down her feet and wanted the swing to shake again, Mingyou reached out and grabbed the swing.

As Mingyou swung his arms, the swing began to swing again. Jiang Jingyu stretched out her legs and felt the gentle breeze coming towards her.

"Mingyou, is there anyone you are willing to protect with your life?"
