Chapter 94 I Have Thought It Through
Min Xiuyuan, who had packed up half of his belongings at home and was preparing to retire and return home, looked up at the sky in despair when he heard this oral order.
He just knew...
He had a premonition long ago.
I don’t know if it’s because I stayed in Dali Temple for too long that I became extremely sensitive to certain things.
From the moment he saw the eldest princess's personal maid coming to deliver clothes to Lu Mingfeng, he had a bad feeling.
He had reminded her that he thought this bad premonition was related to the eldest princess.
Now it seems that it is really related to the eldest princess.
Min Xiuyuan sighed, stood up and prepared to enter the palace. Just as he reached the gate of the mansion, he met Lu Mingfeng who came to look for him.
"Min Siqing, where are you going?" Lu Mingfeng was stunned.
"You've arrived just in time. The Emperor has summoned me to the palace. Please come with me."
Seeing his gloomy expression, Lu Mingfeng frowned, "Min Siqing, is this related to the matter at the Princess's Mansion?"
The two entered the Xuanzheng Hall one after the other.
The emperor was so angry that he threw the bowl of tea beside him to the ground.
Those spies from Xijing acted too quickly and failed, and then they found out that the eldest princess was not in the princess's mansion.
They all retreated almost instantly, and each of them was very skilled in martial arts.
When Lu Mingfeng and his men arrived at the princess's mansion, the crowd had already dispersed. Nothing was left except corpses scattered all over the floor.
Those Xijing spies seemed to have disappeared completely overnight.
The Dali Temple investigated for several days but had no clue.
It’s no wonder that the emperor was angry.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. It is my incompetence that has prevented me from thoroughly investigating this matter after so many days. I hereby resign from my position as the Minister of Justice. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me."
Resign?
Hearing these two words, Lu Mingfeng's eyes trembled. He knelt on the ground and turned slightly to look at Min Xiuyuan.
Retiring and resigning are completely different.
Retiring is equivalent to retiring early, and to put it bluntly, resigning means being fired.
There is no doubt that the Emperor loves the eldest princess, but...
Lu Mingfeng moved his lips and was about to plead for Min Xiuyuan when his hand was hit hard on the side of his body.
"Since Minister Min has resigned, I will not force him. From now on, Lu Mingfeng will take over the position of Minister of Justice and thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Princess's Mansion."
Lu Mingfeng's breathing stagnated, and Min Xiuyuan's voice rang in his ears, "This old minister thanks the emperor for his grace. Long live the emperor."
Lu Mingfeng paused, then said, "I accept your order."
After leaving Xuanzheng Hall, Lu Mingfeng blurted out the words he had been holding back for a long time, "Min Siqing."
"Now that the position of Temple Minister is yours, please do not break the rules."
Min Xiuyuan took a deep breath and patted him on the shoulder.
"Accompanying the emperor is like living with a tiger. Given the emperor's rage today, if he really blames me, it will not only affect me, but the entire Dali Temple will also suffer.
I have reached the age to retire and return home, so I resign to protect everyone in the Dali Temple and have no regrets in my life.
You are still young. The Emperor is a ruler, and the Princess is also a ruler. You should carefully consider every step from now on. The Dali Temple is now in your hands."
After saying this, Min Xiuyuan turned away.
Lu Mingfeng frowned and quickly followed, "Min Siqing, when are you leaving? I'll go see you off."
"General Huo's victory report has spread throughout Shengjing this morning. The imperial city of Xijing has been captured, and the princess should arrive in Shengjing soon." Min Xiuyuan said this, looking up at Lu Mingfeng, "You can take care of yourself."
at the same time.
Su Yunyao sat on the soft couch in the tiger tent, looking at the sketchbook leisurely.
Huo Xiao walked in hurriedly from outside the tent with a murderous look on his face.
In front of Su Yunyao, three steps away, he knelt on one knee, clasped his hands in front of his chest and saluted, "Your humble servant pays homage to the princess. May the princess live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years."
Hearing this, Su Yunyao looked up at him and slowly closed the sketchbook. "My General Huo, are you hurt?"
Huo Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and his eyelashes trembled.
He didn't expect that the first thing the princess said was not about the war, but about whether he was injured.
"In reply to the eldest princess, your predictions are as accurate as a god. I am not injured."
Su Yunyao slowly retracted her gaze, opened the sketchbook in her hand, and continued reading, "It's good that you're not hurt. Get up."
Huo Xiao was stunned when he heard this and continued kneeling there.
He seemed a little uncomfortable with the princess's coldness towards him. Normally, when she saw him, she would tease him. Even if there was no intimate behavior, she would at least lift his chin and say something that would make him blush and his heart beat faster.
And at this time...
Apart from asking him if he was hurt, the princess didn't even bother to look at him.
Huo Xiao felt inexplicably anxious.
"Although you are not injured, the wound on your chest must have broken open again. It's okay. Just call the military doctor to re-bandage your wound. Don't keep kneeling here." After Su Yunyao finished speaking, she turned a page of the picture book and continued reading.
Huo Xiao's eyelids twitched.
Why did the princess suddenly become so cold to him? Could it be because of the princess's announcement of opening a new residence? "Princess, I have something to tell you."
Su Yunyao was unmoved. She did not answer his question, but turned another page in the sketchbook.
The entire tiger tent was deafeningly quiet. Apart from the sound of Su Yunyao occasionally flipping through the animation book, the only sound was his panic.
He had never been so scared before when he knelt on the princess's bed that night. At that time, he just couldn't accept that the princess might like a man other than him.
At this moment, because of the princess's indifference, he actually felt that he might really lose the princess.
Losing everything, and sharing a princess with others...
The tiger tent became quiet again, and Huo Xiao's mind was blank.
Su Yunyao finished reading the sketchbook in her hand, then picked up another one and opened a page. "Are you not leaving yet?"
Su Yunyao's voice completely brought Huo Xiao's confused thoughts back to normal.
"Princess, your humble servant..."
After a pause, he continued, "I have thought clearly about what happened to the princess before."
Hearing this, Su Yunyao slowly raised her eyes and glanced at him, "What have you figured out?"
Huo Xiao clenched his hands into fists, pursed his lips, and took a deep breath in his heart, "Your humble servant is pleased with the princess."
Su Yunyao chuckled, "What are you doing? You look ready to die, but you're not going to the battlefield."
Huo Xiao: ...
Even going to the battlefield had never frightened him as much as he did now.
"Princess."
Huo Xiao pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.
"Alright, this princess is sleepy. It's nothing. Stop kneeling here and go out." Su Yunyao said, putting down the sketchbook in her hand, "Pearl."
Pearl was standing outside and her scalp went numb when she heard the call.
General Huo was still in the tent. What did the princess want her to do at this time?
