The emperor's intentions towards Jiang Taifu were clear, but he just didn't want to strengthen the power of the Pei family.

It's just that when he thought of the scene where General Pei used his old body to stop those assassins for him last night, he was extremely moved, and Xie Yan's loyalty to lead people to rescue Old General Pei regardless of his life also shocked him greatly.

Old General Pei is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and Xie Yan never forgets the kindness of the old General Pei who promoted him. In his eyes, these two are talents that can be reused!

It's a pity that Old General Pei has already retired, and the glory of the Pei family is enough, so he wanted to raise Xie Yan to another level.

However, Jiang Taifu always had to get in the way, which made him feel very annoyed.

In his eyes, it's perfectly normal to raise the official position of his favorite person. Isn't that how many people in the Jiang family gain a foothold in the court?

But Jiang Taifu seemed to only hear that he was promoted to other people's official positions, and every time he heard it, there were a lot of reasons.

The emperor showed impatience, Jiang Taifu naturally saw it.

But once he thought of the consequences of Xie Yan's promotion, he straightened his back again, but refused to give in to the emperor.

In the end, the emperor gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't want to be promoted, I will reward him with something from the head office, right? Taifu Jiang, don't forget that Jiang Shangshu was rescued by Xie Yan."

The emperor's strange words did not make Jiang Taifu back down.

It's just that when he saw the red blood in the emperor's eyes, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, so he stopped entangled in this matter.

The rewards are nothing more than gold, silver and jewels. To Jiang Taifu, these are small things, not worth mentioning.

All the ministers left the main account, Li Dehai personally sent Taifu Jiang away under the emperor's signal: "Teacher, the emperor also cherishes talents, and has no other intentions."

Jiang Taifu heard the words and smiled peacefully: "I have no intention of party disputes, but Commander Xie is still young. If he takes the position of general early, it will inevitably make people dissatisfied. Eunuch Li still needs to persuade the emperor more. The foundation of a general's life should be military exploits."

The implication is that Xie Yan is not in the right place.

"You're right." Li Dehai agreed with a smile.

Just when Li Dehai was about to return to the main tent, Jiang Taifu stopped him again: "Eunuch Li, I see that the emperor's complexion is not very good, it is much worse than before in the palace, but what happened last night..."

"That's not true." Eunuch Li shook his head, "Your Majesty showed his listless state because he worked hard on state affairs last night and didn't sleep all night."

Hearing this, Jiang Taifu's face froze.

What kind of troublesome state affairs, I'm afraid I spent a night with those concubines!

He suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart, and told Li Dehai repeatedly: "Eunuch Li, the medicine is three-point poisonous, and we still need to remind the emperor to take the elixir carefully."

"Yes." Li Dehai quickly agreed.

Jiang Taifu hesitated to speak, but seeing Li Gonggong's smiling face, he had to swallow his anger.

Li Dehai is a fine individual, the emperor's most trusted person. Even if Jiang Taifu is so respected, he dare not tell him what to do, so he can only walk away with heavy steps.

Seeing him leave, Li Dehai returned the emperor's words with a smile: "Your Majesty, Taifu Jiang cares about you!"

In response to him, the emperor slapped the table heavily.

"I'm afraid he doesn't care about my body!" The emperor sneered, "He is counting how many days I have left, so that when I die, he will immediately support his grandson to take the throne!"

Hearing this, Li Dehai "plopped" and knelt down in front of the emperor: "The emperor is in good health..."

"Bring the elixir." The emperor waved his hand and interrupted him, "These people are full of evil, and they are planning how to take the throne from me. I will not do what they wish!"

Li Dehai nodded again and again: "This elixir is very effective, and the servant sees that the emperor's complexion is much better than the previous few days."

When the emperor heard this, his smile deepened.

He just loves to hear such words, not to mention that this elixir does have many magical effects, especially in bed, it makes him fierce, like returning to 30 years ago!

……

The queen had a cold face, and her eyes kept falling on the people kneeling on the ground. It was so cold that the people on the ground shrank their necks and dared not speak at all.

"What's your name? Where did you come from?"

Her tone was cold, making the beauty below tremble for a while before she dared to speak out: "The servant's name is Jiang Lu, and she belongs to the Jiang family..."

As soon as she heard her surname, the queen's eyelids jumped: "The Jiang family? Is it the Jiang family who asked you to seduce the emperor?"

The queen's tone was terrifyingly sharp at this moment, like a crazy beast, staring at Jiang Lu with red eyes.

Jiang Lu was so frightened that her body kept trembling, she said cautiously, "It was arranged by the master."

The queen clenched the armrest tightly, and the sharp armor pierced her palms with a sharp pain, but the pain was not as good as one ten-thousandth of the pain in her heart.

She looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief, some thoughts rose from her heart, and were finally suppressed by her.

impossible!Father can't do that!

She tightly squeezed her hands, her eyes were like a sharp knife, as if she wanted to cut off a few pieces of flesh from Jiang Lu's body.

Jiang Lu was no longer as arrogant as before. Since she was dragged into the queen's tent and there was no movement from the emperor, she knew that her life was tied to the queen.

"Empress, this servant did not do it on purpose!" Jiang Lu knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, "It is the Tai Tuo who wants this servant to serve the emperor, and this servant has to do this for the sake of the family."

The queen had a splitting headache, and Jiang Lu's cries were even more harsh to the queen's ears.

Nanny Fang caught a glimpse of the queen's face, and immediately winked at the maids guarding the door. One of them blocked Jiang Lu's mouth, the other bound Jiang Lu's hands and feet, and pulled her out of the tent indifferently.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor has no choice but to do this in order to keep your favor." Nanny Fang comforted, "That Jiang Lu looks stupid, you can just hold her in your hands, so that Concubine Zhao will not overwhelm her." You."

Hearing this, the queen slowly opened her eyes, her expression had completely calmed down, but the red blood in her eyes was still clearly visible: "Nurse, I have been in the palace for 30 years."

Nanny Fang responded softly, and listened to the queen's words: "I entered the palace in 46 years, and now I am [-] years old. I am already old. In their eyes, I have no use value. gone."

"Your Majesty, you don't worry too much." Mother Fang persuaded in a low voice, "You are the mother of a country, no one is more honored than you, and the glory of the Jiang family today is also brought by you!"

However, the queen shook her head slowly: "No, they know my heart knot! They still want to do this!"

As she spoke, tears rolled down the corners of her eyes: "They actually sent a woman who looked so much like that bitch Lu into the palace! Are they deliberately disgusting me?"

Nanny Fang looked around subconsciously: "Your Majesty, the walls have ears!"

The queen bit her lower lip tightly, until her lower lip was a little bruised, and she opened her mouth: "Do I want to watch the emperor look at that face and miss Xiao Shi again?"

Hearing this, Nanny Fang fell silent.

"I will never allow that face to appear again!" The queen gritted her teeth and said, "Jiang Lu's eyes are disrespectful, she ran into this palace, and she will be executed immediately!"

Nanny Fang hesitated for a while, and met the queen's red eyes: "What? Even you don't listen to me anymore?"

"I'll do it now, old slave." Nanny Fang hurriedly withdrew.

There was only the queen in the tent, she opened her hand, looked at the crescent-shaped scars one after another on her palm, and suddenly laughed, her face was distorted, looking very terrifying.

……

A few days passed without any surprise, and the autumn hunting trip has come to an end.

"Today is the last day of autumn hunting! We can't lose to those weak civil servants!"

"Thank you Commander, your arrow skills are good, you can hunt more things back!"

In a short period of time, Xie Yan has become a hot figure in the Forbidden Army. He is young and powerful in martial arts, which makes the martial-minded Forbidden Army yearn for him.

However, the dispute between civil servants and generals has been going on for a long time, and no one accepts the other.

This autumn hunting, the civil servants had a lot of shit luck. Although they didn’t get many prey, they were all valuable prey like white foxes. There are no other good gains.

Xie Yan's handsome face was like a sculpture of ice and snow. Hearing the jokes of his colleagues around him, there was still no fluctuation.

His colleagues had long been used to his cold face, and enthusiastically stuck it up, almost telling him to hunt better prey.

Xie Yan lowered his eyes and glanced at several people, his voice was as cold as his face: "I see."

After finishing speaking, he raised his whip and rode into the forest.

Several colleagues looked at each other and quickly followed, not forgetting to tease Xie Yan.

"Commander Xie has a cold face, I don't know what those ladies like about him?"

In the past few days, the official ladies who showed great hospitality to Xie Yan came one after another like crucian carp crossing the river, and all of them blushed after seeing Xie Yan.

Hearing this, one of them laughed and said, "If you have the face of thanking the Commander, let alone a lady from the official family, I'm afraid the royal princess will come to show her courteousness!"

"Such a cold face, who can bear it!" The person who spoke first folded his arms, and shuddered violently when he thought of Xie Yan's ruthlessness in punishing them.

When they were joking, Xie Yan had already gone deep into the woods.

Yue Ming and Yue Rong were wearing the costumes of the imperial army, when they saw Xie Yan coming, they hurried out from their hiding place.

"Master, that girl was executed by the empress for disrespect." Yue Ming said while looking at Xie Yan's face.

There was no fluctuation in Xie Yan's indifferent phoenix eyes: "If there is a chance, find her corpse and bury her in a place with better feng shui."

Yue Ming sighed, nodded his head and said, "This subordinate will do his best, but the people on the side of the queen will keep an eye on them, so they may not have this opportunity."

"Then come to Yanshan again after you return to Beijing." Xie Yan said in a deep voice, "She also suffered an unreasonable disaster."

Yue Rong saw that Xie Yan's face became more and more gloomy, and comforted him: "Master, it's just someone who looks similar, you don't have to..."

Xie Yan ignored him and rode his horse further into the woods.

Yue Rong knew he had made a mistake, and his face drooped: "I said the wrong thing again."

"Don't you know the master's knot?" Yue Ming glanced at him angrily, "Why was Jiang Lu given to the emperor by the Jiang family, why did the emperor favor her, and why did the empress hate her? It's because of that face!"

That face is very similar to that of the former Crown Princess!

Yue Ming didn't finish talking, but Yue Rong already understood.

He knew that this was a taboo that could never be mentioned in front of the master.

He leaned against the tree trunk dejectedly: "I know I was wrong."
