Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Xie Yinglong's face instantly turned red.

The queen was here, and he was embarrassed to say those words.

Zhang Yan naturally understood what the words Xie Yinglong didn't say...

A palace maid, squatting in the corner...

In addition to the three urgent needs that people have, what else can we do!

No wonder Xie Yinglong was able to answer it without thinking.

Just imagine, a delicate palace maid walked under the tree in the corner and made an indecent move...

How many great men in this world can resist peeking?

It makes sense that Xie Yinglong remembered this scene!

"When the palace maid came up, I can't remember whether she came here or not.

However, when she came down the mountain, she really went under the tree.

I will remember this very clearly. "

Zhang Yan is overjoyed, the clue is here!

Zhang Yan had a serious cold. After a while, she already noticed a slightly cold feeling under her nose.

She wiped her nose with a handkerchief and continued to ask:

"If you think about it carefully, does the lantern have the name of the palace on it?"

Since she is a palace maid, it will be easy to find her.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, the entire palace, except for the military officials on duty, the maids and eunuchs who had made mistakes and were punished, everyone went to the big square at the foot of the mountain to watch the grand ceremony.

That is to say-

Those who could walk in the palace that day were all high-ranking maids.

It was on the day of the Lantern Festival, and I was carrying an unlit lantern - obviously, this was a lantern for the noble people watching the party at the foot of the mountain!

In this way, the target group already has a fixed circle.

Even if the news stops here, Zhang Yan can still find that person out!

Big deal, statistics for each palace!

Find all those who go up the mountain to get lanterns...

She couldn't believe that she couldn't open her mouth!

This is the last resort.

The "palace name" that Zhang Yan asked about was the simplest way.

In the palace, those who can let the maids send lanterns are either the nobles of the palaces or the senior maids in charge of affairs.

In these two places, the palace lanterns used will have their names written on them.

For example, the lanterns in her Nuanyang Palace have the word "nuan" on them.

If Xie Yinglong could see this word clearly, it would already appear on the page!

In other words, as long as Xie Yinglong confirms it, Zhang Yan can arrest the person directly!

Xie Yinglong frowned slightly, thought about it carefully, and said with some uncertainty:

"It's a little far away, and I'm too embarrassed to take a closer look. The words on the lantern are either 'nuan' or 'yuan'.

Or it’s a character with ‘爰’ on the right half...

Anyway, what is on the left, I didn't see it, but the right half is the word "爰".

This point will be determined in the end! "

Zhang Yan was surprised and asked:

"Why is this?"

"because……"

Xie Yinglong scratched the beard on his face embarrassedly.

He has a big beard and looks like a primary school student.

No one can mention their bad side in front of a goddess-like person without being ashamed.

Especially when such a beautiful person is still ill, looking weak and sick.

Xie Yinglong, the fierce general who climbed out of the pile of corpses, was the same.

He was at a loss and looked towards the ground:

"Because, in those days, I was studying the poem "The Prophet of Ducks with Warm Water in the Spring River".

No matter how you write the word "warmth", Mojiang still lacks arms and legs.

Later, I was punished by my husband and had to copy it [-] times before I learned it..."

"Pfft!"

Zhang Yan couldn't help but smile, and snot bubbles came out of her nose.

Zhang Yan hurriedly wiped it with a handkerchief.

Fortunately, no one dared to look at her...

Zhang Yan herself was a little embarrassed, she calmed down slightly, and then encouraged her:

"Sir, it's also for your own good. It's always good to be more literate.

Your Majesty will pay for all the heirs of your Habayashi Guards to attend school.

It would be a shame if by then the younger generation laughed at me. "

Xie Yinglong blushed:

"The last general, the last general...the last general is not married yet..."

"Pfft!"

Even though Zhang Yan, who has been the mother of the world for more than [-] years and is used to big scenes, couldn't help laughing:

"Then, when you enter the grassland in the future, I will allow you to choose a woman to get married."

Looking at the bearded Xie Yinglong, Zhang Yan really couldn't believe that he, who looked to be at least 40 or [-] years old, was not yet married.

"I would like to thank you for your marriage!"

Xie Yinglong's eyes lit up and he hurriedly bent down to express his thanks.

Zhang Yan has gotten what she wants.

She asked Qin Zhien to record the conversation just now.

But he said to Xie Yinglong:

"Thank you, General. I will personally inform His Majesty of your contribution."

Xie Yinglong is not a fool, so he naturally understands Zhang Yan's subtext.

This is a reminder to him to remember who he is.

In other words - he can no longer overturn what he said just now.

Xie Yinglong hammered his chest hard:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Your Majesty gave me a house and an annual salary of one hundred silver dollars.

After the year, there will be a reward of eighty silver dollars.

I will sell this life to His Majesty! "

Xie Yinglong is not a fool.

Those who can jump back and forth in the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty and still survive until now are either people with great luck or smart minds.

Xie Yinglong understood the subtext of the Queen's Empress!

He also expressed his attitude implicitly.

Zhang Yan glanced at Xie Yinglong approvingly.

Ok.

He is a person who can be promoted.

No wonder the emperor is willing to let such a surrendered minister take the most important position of palace guard!

Qin Zhien had finished recording his confession. He took the brush and motioned to Xie Yinglong.

Xie Yinglong didn't even look at it. With a wave of his hand, he signed his name on it and pressed his fingerprints.

Zhang Yan asked Chuntao to accept the confession and said softly:

"Go back to the palace."

"My Majesty has a decree to drive back to the palace!"

Qin Zhien shouted in a long voice.

"Crack!"

The twelve eunuchs swung their whips in unison and said in agreement:

"Get off!"

Under the guard of Luan Yi, Zhang Yan descended from the city and walked towards the palace.

After entering the city gate, Zhang Yan asked Xia He for a new handkerchief and pinched her nose hard.

This damn wind chill...

Returning to Nuanyang Palace, Zhang Yan took off the heavy queen's formal attire and asked Qiu Ju to invite Queen Zhou.

On the way here, Queen Zhou had already heard Qiu Ju tell her what Zhang Yan had done.

As soon as she entered Nuanyang Palace, Zhou Hou held Zhang Yan's hand. Her eyes were red and she choked with sobs:

“Sister, it’s all my sister’s fault.

It’s my sister who is so stupid, she has to waste her time dragging her body with her illness, and also has to clean up the mess for her..."

Queen Zhou was moved to tears.

Brother Jiong is her child!

Although the emperor adopted Prince Ding to Empress Zhang, that was the flesh that fell from her body!

Zhang Yan is able to work tirelessly for Brother Jiong's affairs, which means she truly regards Brother Jiong as her own child.
