Maggie's head was spinning, and she could barely see anything.
My whole body felt like it was being gnawed by thousands of ants, and even the crevices between my bones were unbearably numb and itchy.
She had to go to the Emperor and pester him relentlessly to get him to relieve her suffering.
Maggie stumbled toward the door.
Lu Xingjian stood with his hands behind his back at the main gate of Yongshou Palace, his face unusually cold and stern.
It looks like they're waiting for someone.
As Ma Ji staggered out, Meng Yue was whispering, "Her Majesty the Empress has returned to Kunning Palace."
Lu Xingjian paused, his expression turning even uglier, his voice icy cold.
"If you mention her again, go grow vegetables at Nanjing Xiaoling Mausoleum."
Meng Yue was so frightened that he dared not utter another word.
Maggie's mind was not clear at the moment, but she could still tell that Lu Xingjian disliked the Empress very much.
Very good.
It's like God is on my side.
She was overjoyed, and swayed her slender waist as she walked towards him, her voice soft and sweet:
"Your Majesty, we've been waiting for you for so long."
Lu Xingjian's gaze fell on Ma Ji, his narrow eyes narrowed, and he exuded a strong sense of pressure.
"Dressed like that in broad daylight?! What kind of behavior is this?!"
Of course, he could also tell that Ma Ji was very drunk, and his cold gaze fell on the palace servants of Yongshou Palace.
"Are the servants at Yongshou Palace so careless?"
"They were all replaced."
Having said that, Lu Xingjian turned and left.
Maggie was stunned, and immediately sobered up a bit.
She rushed forward to grab Lu Xingjian's clothes, but because she was too drunk to walk steadily, she missed.
What's going on?
Didn't he used to really like my flirtatious and seductive manner?
Why do you suddenly find yourself disliking it today?
She called out plaintively, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
However.
The palace servants were so frightened that they rushed over to help her into the inner room.
Maggie felt extremely uncomfortable; she was so hot she felt like she was about to explode.
She desperately needs a man to help her relieve her stress.
She grabbed a palace servant and gave him a fierce order:
"Quickly go and invite the Emperor. Tell him I'm dying from the poison, that I'm about to die, and that he must come!"
The palace maid staggered away.
Maggie's vision was already bloodshot and blurred. In anger, she tore her thin, sheer clothes apart, revealing large areas of snow-white skin.
That kind of brokenness and allure is enough to drive any man crazy.
She couldn't bear it any longer, but the palace servants seemed to have vanished. She shouted several times, but no one answered.
Her mind was a complete blank; she couldn't think of anything else except for one crazy thought.
She needs a man!
She struggled to her feet and staggered toward the door of the inner room.
A tall, indistinct figure walked towards us.
She was overjoyed.
A hint of smugness flashed through my mind.
snort.
She knew the Emperor wouldn't abandon her to her death.
In the end, she got her way, didn't she?
...
Su Wanwan called He Ying over and whispered, "Find someone to give Xiao Bin a higher military rank."
"How about donating for the position of Assistant Commander-in-Chief?"
Su Wanwan shook her head.
She vaguely remembered that Ma Ji's brother was a deputy commander, and was treated differently and highly valued by Lu Xingjian.
This position is too conspicuous.
"Just donate the title of Commander."
The Commander-in-Chief is a military officer of the fourth rank, a position that is not conspicuous and is not shown to the public. Even in the garrison, there are higher-ranking officials such as the Assistant Commander and the Commander.
The difference between "都指挥佥事" and "都指挥佥事" is only one character, but they represent two ranks.
What Xiao Bin needs is not to be seen by Lu Xingjian, but to be unseen.
He was busy helping her with the grain ships in Jiangnan and had no time for anything else.
She should reciprocate by helping him obtain a respectable military rank.
As for his helping her protect her weakness, she could never repay that kindness now.
He Ying immediately prepared the silver notes and found a reliable channel to pass the message on to the manager of Su Wanwan's former dowry shop.
Su Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her brows furrowed slightly again.
The Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Rites, and the Nine Garrisons simultaneously paid silver to be appointed to their posts.
They even seized the ordination certificates of monks and Taoist priests.
Such a large-scale event, spanning several ministries, would have been impossible to accomplish without the emperor's oversight and coordination.
Although Liu Jin had already taken the blame, this was still far too obvious.
Lu Xingjian's reputation as a "tyrant" is likely to be confirmed.
He is still too young and too radical.
For some reason, a strange emotion welled up inside her.
She simply threw out a brick, and even went through the roundabout route of the madam, having Madam Qiu go to Vice Minister Qian's wife to relay the message.
Try to stay behind the scenes as much as possible.
He knew that this would damage his reputation, but he still went ahead and carried it out with great determination.
She still admires such courage and methods, no matter what.
...
Xiaoyuan.
Lu Xingjian glanced at the silver notes in front of him, his icy gaze falling on the trembling eunuch lying on the ground, his face turning ashen.
The young eunuch stammered and struggled for a long time before finally explaining:
"It was Miss Heying who instructed me to donate a place for a student at the Imperial Academy for the young master of the Su family, and to donate a rank of Vice Commander for Xiao, the garrison commander of Weizhou."
As soon as he uttered the words "Xiao Baihu," Lu Xingjian actually chuckled softly.
The smile didn't reach his eyes; instead, his eyes grew increasingly cold.
Meng Yue stood to the side, his eyes lowered and his brows furrowed, his heart pounding in his throat.
Oh my!
The Emperor is already angry with the Empress, so how did He Ying get involved?
Click!
Meng Yue looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the jade wine cup in the emperor's hand had been crushed.
