Jiang Ming quietly followed the little girl named Zhenshan.
She was very vigilant; after taking only a few steps, she would turn around to check if there were any "tails" behind her.
But how could her counter-surveillance skills compare to Jiang Ming's, who was a reconnaissance soldier?
Soon... the two bumped into each other "accidentally"!
"Oh dear!" Jiang Ming feigned surprise and even stumbled slightly.
"Ah? No! Your Excellency, I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"
When Zhen Shan saw that the person in question was Jiang Ming, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly.
Jiang Ming smiled meaningfully and said, "Isn't this... Zhenshan, the little maidservant by the Empress Dowager's side?"
"It was indeed this servant! This servant deserves to die for offending Your Excellency the Prime Minister. Please punish me, Your Excellency!"
Zhen Shan dared not raise her head and kept kowtowing to Jiang Ming.
"As for punishment, there's no need... Raise your head."
Zhen Shan dared not disobey Jiang Ming and slowly raised her head.
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Jiang Ming smiled and said playfully, "I must say, she's quite pretty. How old are you?"
"This servant...this servant is 17..."
"Oh," Jiang Ming bent down and helped Zhen Shan up.
Zhen Shan was flattered and overwhelmed, but still trembled with extreme tension!
Jiang Ming held her small hand and kneaded it with enjoyment. One thing at a time, Zhen Shan was indeed quite good-looking!
"Xiang...Lord Xiangguo..."
Zhenshan wanted to pull her hand back, but she didn't dare, so she could only lower her head even further.
Jiang Ming pulled her along to a small pavilion not far away.
Zhen Shan was extremely anxious, but dared not say anything, her breath coming in ragged gasps...
She was on a mission to deliver a message, but unfortunately, she ran into the Empress Dowager's lover, the Prime Minister.
What if the Prime Minister finds out the letter written by the Empress Dowager?
"Come on! Sit on my lap..."
Jiang Ming pulled Zhen Shan along and naturally pulled her into his arms.
"This servant wouldn't dare!"
Zhen Shan knelt down again with a thud.
"Tsk!"
Jiang Ming frowned slightly, his face showing displeasure, and he pondered, "If you won't listen to reason, you'll have to suffer the consequences!"
Zhen Shan, her forehead pressed to the ground, trembling all over, pleaded with a sob in her voice, "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, is of noble status. I am but a lowly servant, and I fear I may have defiled Your Excellency."
"snort......"
Jiang Ming sneered, "It's already dark. What are you trying to do running out of the palace in the middle of the night? You must be going to meet some random guy!"
"No, no, no!"
Zhenshan raised her head, frantically shaking her hands: "This servant wouldn't dare! This servant...this servant is..."
She swallowed hard, her eyes glancing to the upper right, her brain working rapidly.
"This servant is looking for something for the Empress Dowager. She lost a jade pendant while strolling in the Imperial Garden during the day, and this servant... is going to look for it..." Zhenshan explained.
She didn't dare to look Jiang Ming in the eye, her bangs almost completely covering her chin as she lowered her head.
"Hmph! Nonsense!"
Jiang Ming sneered, "Looking for something, how can you not carry a lantern? It's pitch black, do you have night vision?"
"I was in a hurry... The Empress Dowager just got angry, so I came out!"
"snort!"
Jiang Ming snorted: "Do you think you can fool me? You're clearly having an affair with some random man! It's late at night, and you sneak out to meet with that other man while the Empress Dowager is asleep! It seems... you'll only tell the truth after being subjected to a severe torture session at the Court of Justice!"
Jiang Ming's words nearly scared Zhen Shan to death!
What kind of place is the Court of Justice?
Anyone who goes in, whether they are guilty or not, is already lucky if they come out crippled!
They're basically all going to die!
During the reign of Prince Ji Xi of Yan, he practiced tyranny, and in the Court of Justice, torture was the cheapest way to solve cases.
"Prime Minister, spare my life! Prime Minister, spare my life!"
Zhenshan cried loudly, "This servant really did not have an affair with any other man. This servant swears to heaven that if I had an affair with any other man, I am willing to be boiled in oil!"
"So you're saying..."
Jiang Ming pinched her chin and said meaningfully, "You're still a virgin? Haven't you ever been touched by a man?"
"Of course I am a young lady, waaaah! I have never been touched by a man, waaaah!" Zhenshan cried, tears streaming down her face.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
Jiang Ming smacked his lips and shook his head, saying, "I don't believe it. The late king was so lecherous, and you were the Empress Dowager's personal maid. I don't believe he wouldn't touch you..."
"Waaah!"
Zhenshan cried out, "The late king once tried to touch me, but the Empress Dowager found out and got angry. He didn't dare do it again, sob sob! I really didn't have an affair with any other man..."
"oh?"
Jiang Ming laughed and said, "Then... how about you give me your first time?"
"ah?"
Upon hearing this, Zhenshan was so frightened that she sat down on the ground with a thud and instinctively crawled backward a couple of times.
"What? You don't want to?"
"Your Excellency, please spare this servant! Waaah!"
Zhenshan knelt down and cried, "If the Empress Dowager finds out, she will definitely kill me, sob sob!"
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Ming laughed, "I don't think Jin is as fierce as you say. Seriously, if I asked her for a maid, would she refuse? You could come with me as my personal maid; it would be much more comfortable than being a concubine in this palace..."
