Concubine Yue patted the back of the old emperor's hand. "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
"Yes, yes, my beloved concubine is very considerate."
After listening to Concubine Yue's advice, the old emperor appointed Jing Shenghua as the commander of the imperial guards and Wu Er'er as the imperial guard during the morning court session in the Golden Throne Hall the next day.
Wu Er'er was rewarded with one hundred boxes of chestnut cakes and ten thousand taels of silver.
However, Wu Er'er almost cried after receiving the reward.
How can I explain it clearly to my lord?
It was a big taboo for a killer to stay away from his target and become a guard beside the emperor.
So the lord summoned him again.
He was kicked to the ground repeatedly.
"Wu Er'er, it turns out Jing Shenghua didn't kill you the whole time. He was just putting on a show for me."
Wu Er'er shook his head repeatedly: "My lord, I don't have it."
"What else are you talking about? His Majesty made you a royal guard just because of Jing Shenghua and because he knew you liked chestnut cakes. And because you are Jing Shenghua's good friend!"
Xiao Lin said with a cold look in his eyes, "Do you think that by hooking up with that bastard emperor, you can change your status?"
Xiao Lin: I’m really tired.
"My lord, I... am wronged."
"Unjust?" Xiao Lin waved his sleeves coldly. "If you have no relationship with Jing Shenghua, why did that bastard emperor ask you to assassinate Leng Mu, but you turned back halfway? If it wasn't for Jing Shenghua, would you have deceived the emperor?"
Wu Er'er was dumbfounded.
It turned out that besides Jing Shenghua, his lord also saw his cowardly and lazy behavior.
"My lord, this is not the case." Wu Er'er kowtowed desperately, "Let me explain...ah..."
He was kicked into the yard by his lord.
This was followed by a clash of sticks.
Wu Er'er wailed, but Xiao Lin inside didn't even look at him.
Jing Shenghua listened to the hoarse shouting.
Suddenly I feel that the killer Wu Erle is... so pitiful.
But... he also felt very happy.
So... I returned to the general's mansion and reported to my aunt.
My second uncle and aunt had something to do, so they left my aunt to Brother Qiao.
"Cuckoo cuckoo~"
Jing Shengqiao pushed open the window: "Cousin Shenghua, come in quickly."
Jing Shenghua jumped in through the window and took a look into the rocking chair: "Is my aunt asleep?"
"Not yet." Jing Shengqiao asked in a low voice, "Where did you get so many longevity locks?"
"Oh, Wu Er'er." Jing Shenghua sat on the stool and deliberately shouted loudly.
"I told His Majesty that Wu Er'er and I were good friends. Then... Wu Er'er became a royal guard. Now he's been misunderstood by Xiao Lin and is being beaten."
My nephew has a pretty high IQ.
[This way, the old emperor wouldn't talk about competition. After all, they're all good friends, so whoever becomes the commander of the imperial guards doesn't matter.]
[The killer who killed his fifth nephew has become the old emperor's personal guard. Xiao Lin might have thought his own men had betrayed him and were climbing up the social ladder to enjoy a comfortable life.]
[However...how did my fifth nephew convince Xiao Lin that he and Wu Er'er had a good relationship?]
Jing Shenghua and Jing Shengqiao looked at each other and immediately spoke.
"Will Xiao Lin believe that Wu Er'er has a very good relationship with you?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but His Majesty asked Wu Er'er to assassinate Leng Mu. Wu Er'er was afraid of death and turned around. Besides me, Xiao Lin's people also saw this scene."
"oh……"
Wu Er'er was beaten so badly by Xiao Lin that he might not survive the night. If His Majesty discovers that the imperial guards are missing, he will definitely inquire about the matter at the General's Mansion.
[If Xiao Lin uses another counter-espionage scheme or something, oh my god...]
Jing Shenghua and Jing Shengqiao stood up at the same time after hearing Qiaoqiao's analysis!
