Chapter 139 Ancient Rebellion Stupid Female Supporting Character 9 Taken Down in One Stroke
According to memory, this was the first time Yan Mi and the original owner went to the imperial study.
Although the imperial study was also built magnificently, its layout was somewhat different from what we usually see.
Yan Miguang felt the majesty and solemnity when she stood inside, and she couldn't help but feel awe.
"I'll grind ink for the emperor." Yan Mi walked to Han Chengdao's side. On his desk was a pile of memorials that had not yet been approved.
Han Chengdao glanced at her and nodded, "Thank you for your help."
Yan Mi smiled slightly, rolled up his sleeves, and began to grind the ink carefully.
While grinding ink, she would occasionally glance at the memorials, but to her disappointment, most of them were just nonsense and there was nothing she wanted to know.
After Han Chengdao processed several memorials, Yan Mi's eyes lit up.
This memorial said that there were disturbances in some places in the capital, but people have been sent to investigate and the results will be out soon. I will report in detail then.
Yan Mi couldn't see the location attached below clearly because it was too far away from her.
She wanted to stretch her neck to see, but because of Han Chengdao, she had to pretend not to care.
People in the harem cannot participate in state affairs. This has been a taboo throughout history, and Yan Mi cannot act arbitrarily and cause trouble for Han Chengdao.
However, Han Chengdao had already noticed her little action. The corners of his mouth turned up, and he almost laughed out loud.
He even deliberately pulled the memorial far away so that Yan Mi couldn't see it even if he wanted to.
After this happened several times, Yan Mi realized that Han Chengdao was deliberately teasing her.
"Your Majesty, there is so much space on the table, why do you have to move the memorial so far away?" Yan Mi asked.
The smile on Han Chengdao's face never faded. "It's clearer over there."
The corner of Yan Mi's mouth twitched, and she leaned against Han Chengdao with a rather complaining look, "Your Majesty, you're just teasing me on purpose, aren't you? Did you already notice that I was peeking at the memorials?"
Han Chengdao put down the brush, held her hanging hand, and stretched out the other hand to cover Yan Mi, fearing that she would fall.
"You actually peeked at the memorials. What crime should you be punished for?" he said.
Although he said this, there was no blame in his tone, but rather a tone of doting.
"Because it's too boring. I don't understand it anyway, so I just read the memorials. I found that they really have nothing to do. They write some boring memorials every day, which just increases your workload." Yan Mi was also speaking up for Han Chengdao.
"Hahaha, this also shows that they care about me, and it will be handled quickly." Han Chengdao was in a very good mood because he was protected by Yan Mi.
"Okay, but I saw they said there was unrest in the capital. Did something happen? Why don't I let my brother investigate?" Yan Mi thought of it again and asked.
Han Chengdao shook his head. "There's a specialized agency responsible for this matter. Your brother has other things to do."
Yan Mi nodded.
Han Chengdao exerted a little force and held Yan Mi in his arms. "If you want to see it, just look at it. No need to be sneaky."
Yan Mi quickly shook his head, and even pretended to pull Han Chengdao's collar and asked, "Isn't this against the rules?"
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay. You don't have to worry about it." Han Chengdao said.
Yan Mi nodded, "As expected of His Majesty the Emperor, you looked so handsome the moment you said this."
Han Chengdao blushed a little, and when he was about to say something, Yan Mi leaned forward slightly and kissed him on the corner of his mouth.
Han Chengdao shook his head helplessly.
"Let's deal with the memorial quickly." Yan Mi said, and she turned her attention back to the memorial.
Yan Mi followed Han Chengdao to read a lot of memorials, and she also understood the current situation a little, and she also learned some things she wanted to know.
Eunuch Song's voice came from outside the imperial study: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister requests an audience."
Yan Mi was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and even the tables and chairs shook, but Han Chengdao was laughing happily beside him.
Yan Mi stood up from his arms, Han Chengdao straightened his clothes, and then asked someone to invite the prime minister in.
Yan Mi knew that she couldn't disturb them here, so she bowed and said to Han Chengdao: "Then I will leave first."
Han Chengdao also stood up, tidied Yan Mi's clothes, and left a kiss on her lips before letting her leave.
When Yan Mi turned around, she happened to meet the prime minister. Her face flushed, her pace quickened, and she left as if escaping.
The Prime Minister looked at Yan Mi's fleeing figure with an unhappy expression, and lectured Han Chengdao, "Your Majesty, how could you let her enter such an important place as the Imperial Study?"
Han Chengdao turned a deaf ear and asked the prime minister, "Is there something urgent that you came to see me about?"
"Of course." The prime minister then told the reason why he came here.
"Zhao has recently taken some military action. I fear they will harm Cheng State, so I would like to ask the Emperor to order the generals guarding the country to go to the border to investigate the situation."
Han Chengdao thought for a moment and said, "We need to look into this matter a little more. Do you have anything else to say?"
The prime minister brought up other matters, and the two of them stayed in the imperial study for the entire afternoon.
After Yan Mi returned, he started practicing sword skills, and he asked the guards for this thing.
It's not heavy, but it still requires a bit of strength. If you can't control it well when swinging it, you will probably sprain your wrist.
She practiced sword for the entire afternoon. Based on the image of the original owner's father and brother practicing in her mind, Yan Mi gained a lot this time.
Unfortunately, Han Chengdao didn't come for dinner, and Yan Mi also wanted to have some peace and quiet, so she could sneak out of the palace to investigate.
There is a curfew at night, and the curfew has become even stricter, especially after some clues were found.
Based on the memorials she saw in the imperial study during the day, she first found the most likely place and began her investigation.
Not long after, Yan Mi arrived.
This place is a residential building. From the outside, it looks like a normal house, but no one knows if there is anything special going on inside.
Yan Mi didn't dare to go in easily, as there might be someone guarding the place.
She watched all night but couldn't figure out what was going on.
However, she dared to bet that the other party was more impatient than her. After all, without her help, it would be difficult for those people to ambush her.
After sending other people to guard it, Yan Mi felt relieved.
Sheng Lai was responsible for investigating other places, and she didn't have much burden on her.
As long as these people are eliminated, the original owner's suspicion will be reduced a little.
In the next few days, Han Chengdao seemed very busy, and Yan Mi only received gifts from Eunuch Song.
Yan Mi accepted them all.
One of them is a rare handmade hairpin. It is said that Han Chengdao specially arranged for someone to make it for her. Needless to say, its exquisiteness is very high. When Yan Mi was playing with it, she also discovered a little secret hidden in it.
On the top of the hairpin, her name and Han Chengdao's name were engraved.
Yan Mi liked it very much, and the hairpin would appear on her head every day.
Good news came from the residents' house that had been guarded for many days. The place was indeed suspicious.
There were four people living in that house: a couple and an elderly couple. They had moved in before, and the date matched what Yan Mi remembered.
More importantly, those four people don't look like a family at all. Even if they are acting on the surface, it still can't cover up the hierarchy that is engraved in their bones.
Yan Mi laughed when he saw the message.
Although he has the skills of a spy, his acting skills are still a bit lacking.
However, Yan Mi didn't want to alert the enemy yet, so she had to wait for a while and then catch them all in one fell swoop.
So she asked someone to continue watching.
Yan Mi's swordsmanship continued to improve day by day.
It wasn't until Zhao Mingzhang's letter appeared on her desk again that Yan Mi knew it was almost time to close the net.
In the letter, Zhao Mingzhang asked her to find out about Chengguo's military situation and the troop strength on the border. As long as she found out clearly, he could better help Yan Mi seize the throne.
If she didn't know the ending, she might have been deceived by the letter. The letter was written with deep affection and seemed to be truly considering her.
Yan Mi also understood that this was not actually written by Zhao Mingzhang, but was written by someone else hired by Zhao Mingzhang. She did not believe that Zhao Mingzhang had such a good talent for rhetoric.
After dealing with the letter, Yan Mi didn't think about doing anything else for Zhao Mingzhang. All she had to do was to delay time as much as possible and prevent Zhao Mingzhang from making trouble.
At the same time, she must speed up the progress. If those who pose a threat to Han Chengdao are not eliminated as soon as possible, Han Chengdao may encounter an accident at any time.
So Yan Mi sent all the people he trusted most out to look for clues.
As for the place that had been discovered long ago, Yan Mi decided to take it in one fell swoop while they were all there.
The night was as dark as ink, the moon had not appeared tonight, and the entire capital was shrouded in darkness.
Yan Mi left the palace again, and this time Sheng Lai also arrived.
Yan Mi nodded to Sheng Lai, and they all hid their figures.
Not far away, the other three followed behind one of the old men.
Although the old man was wearing coarse clothes, he exuded an imperceptible aura, and the vicissitudes of life on his face seemed to be the result of time.
"You were not careful enough this time. If it happens again, you can commit suicide." The old man spoke, and the other three trembled all over.
"Yes, I know. There won't be a next time."
"Okay, let's go back quickly and don't let anyone else find us." The four of them then returned to the house.
The moment the door was closed, the four people immediately dispersed.
Just now, the old man had discovered the presence of someone hidden in the darkness. He only found one person, but anyone who dared to wander around outside at this time and deliberately hid himself must not be a good person.
Yan Mi looked at the people around her. There were exactly four of them.
However, after those people entered the house, there was no sound, and Yan Mi knew that they must have discovered something.
"Let's go in later and catch them off guard. If you can't beat them, call me." Yan Mi gestured to them for a long time and finally got the information right.
Yan Mi jumped onto the wall and looked into the yard. Before she could see clearly, a dart cut through the air and flew towards her.
She rolled over and landed in the yard, thus avoiding the ambush.
In an instant, the four men surrounded Yan Mi.
"Who are you?" asked the old man.
Yan Mi had her face covered and was dressed in black. If she didn't tell anyone, the other person would have no idea who she was.
Yan Mi didn't want to waste any more time talking, so he drew his sword from his waist and slashed at the old man.
The old man dodged Yan Mi's attack with a flash of his body. He was shocked. This man was very powerful.
The others also immediately attacked Yan Mi, but Sheng Lai and the other two immediately appeared and blocked the three people.
Yan Mi focused on dealing with the old man, who was quite powerful.
"You are from Cheng country!" The old man had several sword wounds on his body, but Yan Mi was unharmed.
"I'll tell you when you die." Yan Mi raised his sword and rushed forward again.
