Qingming and Qingzhi, who were guarding the door, sneezed at the same time. They caught a cold accidentally after being blown by the evening breeze last night.
Jiang Yueyang curled up in her bed. She didn't want to attend the morning court today.
But at this moment, Xiangling came in with a basin of hot water.
"Girl, you should get up and wash up."
"I'm not feeling well. Go tell my father and ask him to tell His Majesty or Kong Jijiu that I'm going to skip work today."
Xiangling knew without thinking that she was thinking about what happened last night, which was honestly quite embarrassing.
"Girl, take it easy. Don't you always say that the sooner you die, the sooner you will be reborn? Just bear with it and it will pass."
System: [That’s right, you are so thick-skinned, what are you afraid of? Besides, Lu Yunting will definitely not tell anyone, let alone laugh at you.]
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang slowly stuck her head out from under the quilt.
[You have a point, but I just don’t want to go to work.] Then he retracted his head.
Xiangling: “…”
system:【……】
In the end, Jiang Yueyang still couldn't skip work because Shangshu Jiang didn't want to be tortured to death by His Majesty. (Killing eyes)
If someone has to get hurt, then it should be the daughter who bears it all, right?
It's just embarrassing, not life-threatening.
He had already learned from Xiangling what happened last night. That kid Lu Yunting actually had such thoughts!
"Dad, let me go. I don't want to go to work."
Minister Jiang pulled her out and said, "Stop messing around! Even if you want to ask for leave, you have to ask in advance."
"I have an emergency."
"What's the emergency?"
"My head hurts, my stomach hurts, my whole body hurts!"
Minister Jiang didn't listen at all. "Do you believe what I said? Let me remind you that deceiving the emperor is a serious crime and you will be beheaded!"
Jiang Yueyang stopped struggling instantly, [Damn! I almost forgot about this!]
System: [Host, you should just go to work honestly, right? At worst, if someone laughs at you, I will expose their dirty laundry and make you laugh back.]
Minister Jiang: I need to control my expression later.
[Okay...] Jiang Yueyang compromised.
In order to prevent his daughter from escaping, Minister Jiang stuffed her into his carriage.
＊＊＊
When the father and daughter arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, many adults were already waiting there.
Jiang Yueyang felt guilty and thought someone was secretly watching her. [Xiaogua, could it be that they know what happened last night? ]
System: [Host, don't be so suspicious. ]
The people present were not looking at her at first, but after hearing this, they all cast furtive glances at her.
At this time, Lu Yunting came.
Jiang Yueyang subconsciously avoided the gaze and moved behind Minister Jiang a little uncomfortably.
Minister Jiang looked at him with a stern face, as if to say, "Be careful, kid, I'm watching you all the time!"
Lu Yunting swallowed his saliva, feeling very panicked. Even when he was attacked from all sides, he had never been so panicked.
He bowed to Minister Jiang, took a last glance at the hiding Jiang Yueyang, and walked forward first.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and others watched the entire scene and felt mixed emotions.
What happened to them last night?
As soon as Lu Yunting walked to his seat and stood there, General Zhenguo in front of him turned around and asked in a low voice.
"Lu boy, look at this general's forehead."
Lu Yunting glanced at the bump on his forehead and said calmly, "It looks good."
General Zhenguo: “…”
"Don't play dumb! Am I asking you about something nice? Am I asking you where you went last night after leaving me?"
"Did you go to look for that girl from the Jiang family?"
Lu Yunting: "General Zhenguo, if you say that, others will mistakenly think that I have an improper relationship with you."
General Zhenguo, who usually had a slow mind, unexpectedly understood what he meant. Thinking about the two questions carefully, it seemed that it was quite like the queen asking her husband whether he had gone out to find a concubine.
Jiang Yueyang: You are the concubine!
General Zhenguo insisted, "Don't try to change the subject. Tell me, did you go to see that girl from the Jiang family last night?"
"yes."
Hearing this, the Crown Prince in the nearby team looked very unhappy.
He secretly clenched his fists. Was he a step too slow?
At this time, the eunuch from the Hall of Supreme Harmony came out and announced the entry into the hall.
After all the civil and military officials had taken their positions, it was a long while before Emperor Yuan finally arrived.
As soon as he sat down, Lord Liang from the Censorate stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Lord Xiao Jiang for walking outside during curfew and making loud noises, which damages the image of our officials."
Emperor Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Liang Qing was very courageous. He actually dared to provoke Jiang Yueyang, that troublesome girl.
Isn’t he afraid that the melon will be eaten until nothing is left except his pants?
Jiang Yueyang: [Little melon, look, I told them they knew, it's so embarrassing.]
[Is it a question of shame now? Now you are being impeached.]
[If you want to impeach me, then impeach me. It would be best if Your Majesty dismissed me from my post in anger. Whoever falls in love with this class can take it! ]
The system couldn't help but pour cold water on her, [I'm afraid that he won't dismiss you from your post, but will instead send you to a wild place. ]
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
Emperor Yuan glanced at Lord Liang with displeasure, and then secretly glared at Lord Wei, the Imperial Censor.
Keep your men under control!
Lord Wei also felt that Lord Liang's actions were inappropriate. He did not object to him impeaching Jiang Yueyang, but he should choose a more appropriate private impeachment.
Submit a memorial to His Majesty, and He will punish according to the law.
Why do you have to bring this to the court to argue?
Although Emperor Yuan was annoyed at Lord Liang's rash behavior, he still asked a routine question.
