From eunuch to emperor

The carriage stopped near Jing's house, Jing Tianlie got off the carriage, Bai Qiulian lifted the curtain and waved goodbye.

Jing Tianlie got on his mount and brought a dozen of his own soldiers to the gate of the mansion.

The soldiers knocked on the door, the servants opened the door and saw Jing Tianlie coming back, and immediately informed Mrs. Sun that he knew.

Bai Qiulian was on the carriage, watched Jing Tianlie enter the house from a distance, and then reluctantly went back.

Jing Tianlie entered the mansion, and the entire mansion was full of joy, because the gloom of Jing Heng's dismissal was swept away.

Seeing Jing Tianlie, Mrs. Sun said happily, "Master is back, why didn't you say something in advance?"

"Go and call the young master out! You've been fooling around in the study all day long!"

The servant immediately entered the study in the backyard, and Jing Heng ran out excitedly.

"Father, you are finally back, that dead eunuch..."

Jing Heng wanted to complain when he came up, but was stopped by Jing Tianlie's cold eyes.

"You bastard, I'll clean you up later!"

Jing Tianlie's first sentence was a curse, which made Jing Heng swallow the words back in his throat.

Sun gave Jing Heng a look, and Jing Heng immediately bowed his head and backed away.

Jing Tianlie went into the house and took off his armor, then went into the backyard to meet his old mother Xu.

Jing Tianlie is a dutiful son, everyone said so.

Outside the door, the Imperial Physician from the Imperial Hospital came and said to see Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Sun said: "The old lady is in good health, what disease do you see?"

The imperial doctor looked confused, and couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to leave the mansion.

After paying respects to the old lady, Jing Tianlie sat in the main hall, Mrs. Sun sat next to him, Jing Heng stood in the middle, and all the servants at home stood up to greet Jing Tianlie together.

After the etiquette was over, Mrs. Sun asked everyone else to step down, and only Jing Heng stood in the middle.

Jing Heng lowered his head, waiting for Jing Tianlie to reprimand him.

"What a household secretary, lost in your hands, and was found out so many deficiencies, where do you want me, Jing Tianlie, to put my face?"

Jing Tianlie started to scold.

Jing Heng lowered his head and defended: "Those shortfalls were not all caused by me."

The household department was managed by others before, and most of the deficits occurred in the past. Jing Heng is right to say so.

Jing Tianlie was furious: "Then why did you lose the household department?"

Jing Heng argued: "It's all the fault of the dead eunuch Long Cheng'en. My accounts were fine, but he invented a new accounting method and checked the account department to the bottom."

Seeing Jing Tianlie scolding fiercely, Mrs. Sun defended it: "Master, Heng'er can't be blamed for this matter, he just passed it off, and the accounts are done according to the usual practice. It's all due to that Long Chengen's meddling."

Jing Tianlie said in dissatisfaction: "A loving mother often loses her son, it's because you pampered him. When he was a child, he said that practicing martial arts was too tiring, so you didn't let him practice martial arts. He said that studying was too hard, but you didn't let him study."

"Now look, what a thing it has become! A waste!"

Jing Heng is used to being scolded, so he doesn't like these words.

He also heard that Jing Tianlie's anger disappeared.

Jing Heng said: "Father, as long as you kill that Long Cheng'en, everything will be normal."

"There is a lot of money in the household department now. As long as we regain control of the household department, we can have as much money as possible."

Jing Tianlie's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, Jing Heng quickly lowered his head in fright.

"Okay, master, everyone is happy when you come back, let's go eat."

Sun winked, and Jing Heng hurried out in desperation.

"It's your indulgence."

Jing Tianlie got up dissatisfied and went to the yard where he had dinner.

Sun later ordered his servants to prepare the study for Jing Tianlie, and the bedding in the bedroom should be changed again.

A middle-aged woman with buck teeth came over. This person was Sun's personal maid Shiliu.

"Ma'am, the master and Bai Qiulian came back from the carriage just after getting off, starting from the gate of the palace and going all the way to the outside."

Pomegranate whispered.

Sun's complexion immediately changed, and she cursed: "You bastard, don't be shy, your daughter can get married, and she hooks up with other people's men!"

"I still want to marry my daughter to me, it's a dream! If you are a disrespectful mother, you will give birth to a little bitch!"

"Then Li Junjun is also a waste, he can't control his wife stealing a man!"

Li Junjun is Bai Qiulian's green hat husband.

Seeing that Mrs. Sun was scolding too loudly, Shiliu hurriedly said, "Ma'am, the master is here."

Sun was very angry, but she didn't dare to let Jing Tianlie hear it, so she could only swallow her anger.

...

The news of Jing Tianlie's sudden return to court quickly spread throughout the capital, and everyone had a premonition that a storm was coming.

One is a great general and the other is a genius eunuch. Everyone is waiting to see who will win.

...

Qiuxing Palace.

Long Chen wrote a letter and sealed it carefully.

"Send it to Sifanglou and hand it over to Hong Qi."

Zhang Qian took the letter and quietly left the palace.

Xuanyi and Qingyue accompanied Long Chen in the room, they were also worried about Long Chen's safety.

"I heard that the assassination in Hubu was instigated by Jing Heng."

When Xuan Yi talked about the previous assassination, his tone was very solemn.

Qingyue also said: "According to that person's appearance and methods, he is very similar to the cuttlefish under Jing Tianlie."

The assassins of the Jing family knew a little bit, but it was useless to know.

The so-called catching the thief and catching the stolen goods, if you don't catch the cuttlefish, even if you know that Jing Heng ordered it, you can't do anything to him.

"If no one is caught, I won't talk about what happened last time."

"Jing Tianlie came back today, I guess Bai Qiulian should do it tomorrow."

"Never mind, go to sleep."

Long Chen hung his coat and clothes on the rack, Xuan Yi and Qing Yue had already crawled into bed.

"Here, in the middle!"

Xuan Yi enthusiastically pointed to the middle seat.

Long Chen lay down in the middle very cooperatively.

The bottom is a hot kang, and there are young ladies on both sides. This winter is not cold at all.

"What are you doing? Hug so tightly?"

Xuanyi and Qingyue hugged Long Chen tightly with their four jade hands, and their four jade legs were like old vines wrapped around a tree.

Long Chen felt unable to breathe.

"The princess said, let us protect you well, hug you tightly even when you sleep, and we will do things according to the princess' orders."

Saying that, Qingyue hugged her hand a little tighter.

"I feel that Jing Tianlie hasn't made a move yet, I'm already dead under your clutches."

Long Chen's hands and feet were hugged like a zongzi.

"What are you talking about, we are protecting you."

Xuan Yi chuckled.

Long Chen said: "Without your protection, you are like loaches now, if an assassin comes, you still have to put on your clothes, I would have hung up long ago."

Not to mention, the skin of the two of them is smooth, soft and slippery when hugged.

"Don't talk, sleep well."

Qingyue didn't care so much, she hugged her tightly and never let go.

When Long Chen was in a drowsy sleep, Zhang Qian came in from the outside.

Seeing Long Chen hugging left and right, Zhang Qian felt that she had no place for herself.

"Damn Jing Tianlie."

Zhang Qian cursed.

If it wasn't for Jing Tianlie's troubles, Xuan Yi and Qingyue would have kept watch at the princess's place, so no one would compete with him for Long Chen.

After washing with hot water, Zhang Qian had no choice but to sleep next to Qingyue.

Early the next morning, Xiang Ning knocked on the door outside.

Zhang Qian heard the voice, got up with her clothes on, and asked through the door: "What's the matter?"

Xiang Ning said: "The Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent a message, please Lord Long go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to cooperate with the investigation of General Shui Han's case."

Zhang Qian frowned, and cursed in a deep voice, "Is it finally here?"
