Empress, your husband is invincible

By the time the Phoenix Feather Guards beside the carriage reacted, it was already too late.

The messy braid on Mo Yuxie's head was covered with the liquid of rotten eggs, and even his body was covered with all kinds of rotten vegetable leaves.

The docile Mo Yuhu, who was repaired by his brother and a few soldiers along the way, was stained with rancid liquid even if Mo Yuxie deliberately blocked him.

The dwarf was the worst, with a face that was already unbearable to look at, his skin was torn apart by the stones thrown by those children, one eye socket was blue, the other eye socket was purple...

Seeing the countless people holding vegetable baskets and clutching rotten eggs in front of them, the soldiers looked at each other and wisely chose to ignore it.

On the back of Qin Ye's horse, Li Baijing saw all this in his eyes and was amazed.

"Tsk tsk, as expected of the imperial capital, the people here are really enthusiastic..."

Ye Cheng had mixed feelings about this.

No matter what dynasty or generation, the people really have a natural aversion to alien races...

Zhuang Shuanglin was not surprised by this, but calmly ordered Feng Yuwei, who opened the way, to pay attention to order.

When the cage carriage was finally filled with rotten vegetable leaves and fist-sized stones, everyone finally arrived at the school grounds where Feng Yuwei was stationed.

Like the Dragon Scale Guard, the Phoenix Feather Guard is also based in the school grounds on the west side of the palace.

Seeing Mo Yuxie and the three of them were dragged out of the carriage by the Phoenix Feather Guards, resisting the stench, Ye Cheng followed Zhuang Shuanglin into the palace together.

Ling Xuejian, who had already received the news, summoned Zhuang Shuanglin in the Royal Study Room.

After presenting the recaptured sweet potatoes, Zhuang Shuanglin had mixed feelings when he looked at Ling Xuejian's beautiful face and couldn't help being excited.

It has only been four days since Ling Xuejian entrusted her with this hunting mission, and with the help of Ye Cheng, she has successfully completed this mission.

And if there is no Ye Cheng, whether she can complete the task within the time specified by Ling Xuejian is another matter.

If Spider Hook really took this sweet potato back to Beimo, then she would be unforgivably guilty...

But the sweet potato, which is regarded as a treasure by both countries, is extremely common in Ye Cheng's eyes...

Where can I talk about this?

Unaware of the ups and downs in Zhuang Shuanglin's heart, Ling Xuejian asked Zhuang Shuanglin that he must hunt down after carefully inspecting the sweet potatoes.

With the great achievements of recovering the grain seeds and capturing the spider hook spy, Zhuang Shuanglin thought that even if the story was exposed, she would not be charged with any crime.

Zhuang Shuanglin only hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to be calm and told the story Ye Cheng made up carefully.

"Pretty!"

Listening to Zhuang Shuanglin's recounting of the modified rainy night fighting process, Ling Xuejian couldn't help but praise him.

It was really hard to restrain the excitement in her heart, Ling Xuejian got up suddenly, walked quickly from behind the desk to Zhuang Shuanglin.

"Shuanglin, you have made great contributions to this trip! Except that I can't give you a title, you can mention the rest!"

With a wave of his cloud sleeve, Ling Xuejian said generously:

"Say, what do you want? I will satisfy you one by one!"

Zhuang Shuanglin stood with his hands folded, unable to see his expression clearly.

Ling Xuejian didn't show any impatience, but just waited expectantly.

After a moment of silence, Zhuang Shuanglin suddenly took half a step back, made a solemn salute to Ling Xuejian, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, Shuanglin dares to say something from the bottom of his heart.

Your Majesty regards your Majesty as a close friend in your boudoir, why don't you have the audacity to regard Your Majesty as the most important person?

The thieves of the barbarians in the northern desert are so bold that they dare to steal my Daling national treasure, and I will smash myself to pieces to relieve your majesty's worries.

Thanks to His Majesty's luck today, I dare not take credit for recovering the grain and capturing the spies. "

Ling Xuejian was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with emotion, after thinking about it, he hesitated and said:

"How about I privately order the people from the household department to open an opening and grant Zhuang Yan a fourth-rank official position?"

Zhuang Yan is Zhuang Shuanglin's half-brother - one of the well-known playboys in Huangdu City.

Even the old Hubu Shangshu, who was the most particular about being kind to others in the government and the opposition, and who never said a word of ill will, when he mentioned this person, he kept silent and shook his head one after another.

Zhuang Shuanglin was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly and shook his head:
"Your Majesty, Zhuang Yan, other people don't know, don't you? Let him be an official, wouldn't that make my family a target of public criticism?"

Ling Xuejian was also silent for a while.

Seeing Ling Xuejian thinking seriously, Zhuang Shuanglin's heart couldn't help but move.

"If Your Majesty really wants to reward the minister, can the minister dare to mention one thing?"

Ling Xuejian was overjoyed and said angrily:

"You and my sister, what are you saying about rewarding or not? Just mention it!"

After thinking about it, Zhuang Shuanglin hesitated and said:

"Your Majesty, it's about Liang Zhong and the late emperor, but I don't know where to start. Can Mr. Ye come in?"

"Liangzhong and the first emperor? And Mr. Ye?"

Ling Xuejian frowned slightly, was taken aback for a moment, and then came to his senses.

"You mean Ye Cheng?"

Zhuang Shuanglin nodded.

Ling Xuejian immediately gave a command to the eunuchs and maids standing on both sides of the study room:
"Go down first and let Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye come in. Without my order, no one is allowed to enter within a hundred meters of the Imperial Study Room."

Gu Dasheng, the head of the eunuchs, led a group of court ladies and eunuchs to retreat.

It didn't take long for Ye Cheng to walk into the imperial study room.

Almost the moment he stepped into the imperial study, Ye Cheng saw Ling Xuejian's serious face.

Ling Xuejian had already returned to the desk, and Zhuang Shuanglin stood bowed on the right side of the desk.

She waved her hand directly at Ye Cheng, motioning him to be excused, and Ling Xuejian went straight in:

"I heard from Shuanglin that you have something to do about Liang Zhong and the late emperor?"

Ye Cheng stood upright with both hands, looking at Ling Xuejian's unconcealed anxious eyes for a moment.

Ling Xuejian frowned slowly, looking at Zhuang Shuanglin.

"Mr. Ye?"

Seeing this, Zhuang Shuanglin couldn't help reminding Ye Cheng in a low voice.

Ye Cheng bowed his hands neither humble nor overbearing:

"Your Majesty, I have some things about the late emperor and Liang Zhong that I want to tell the truth, but, can I let Commander Zhuang go out for a while?"

Ling Xuejian and Zhuang Shuanglin were stunned at the same time, and looked at each other.

Taking a peek at Ye Cheng, Zhuang Shuanglin felt sour for no reason.

Ling Xuejian pursed her lips for a moment, then suddenly winked at Zhuang Shuanglin.

Zhuang Shuanglin understood and bowed back.

"Now there are only you and I in the palace. Can Mr. Ye speak?"

Frowning and looking at Ye Cheng, Ling Xuejian unconsciously felt uneasy.

Speaking of which, it was the first time she was alone with a man when she grew up so old...

"Odd and even change?"

Although he had imagined many scenes at this time in his mind, for some reason, when the words came to his lips, Ye Cheng suddenly uttered the phrase "the code of a non-famous traveler".

"..."

Ling Xuejian froze for a moment, looked at him with a half-smile, with an unconcealable coldness in his tone.

"Sir, do you want to entertain me alone?"
