"What?!" Luqiao's face was shocked.
Liu Feng shook his head helplessly, "Firstly, you are careless, following the princess is a burden; secondly, I..."
"How are you?" Lu Qiao's eyes widened.
With a hook of Liufeng's long arm, he hugged her unexpectedly, "I... miss you."
The corners of Luqiao's mouth were suddenly too sweet to close.
Chengqian Palace.
Together with Zhongli Yuyan, Yu Chimo knelt in the center of the hall, followed by purple smoke of dust.
"Father, my son was captured in Lingdong this time, and he was able to be rescued successfully, thanks to the help of Commander Ziyan!" Zhong Liyuyan and Ziyan looked at each other and smiled.
"Ziyan?" Emperor Ning frowned, "Is it the one who followed Fusu... what..."
"Your Majesty, this subordinate was originally the deputy commander of the Forbidden Army. He was punished by His Royal Highness Prince Gong and expelled from the Forbidden Army because of the bombing of the late emperor's tomb." Zi Yan straightened her back.
"Oh, yes! It's Fusu's person, I remembered! You are not only the deputy commander of the Imperial Army, but also the shadow guard next to Fusu. You are a capable girl!" Emperor Ning couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and praised her. "By the way, what's wrong with your eyes...?"
Zi Yan's face turned pale, "This... This is also the punishment given to Zi Yan by His Royal Highness Prince Gong. Zi Yan has no complaints."
"Oh, so I did something wrong." Emperor Ning narrowed his eyes.
Zhong Liyuyan hurriedly said, "Father, when the tomb of the former emperor was bombed, there were other secrets. It is really unjust for Commander Ziyan to be dismissed by His Royal Highness Prince Gong. Now that she has committed a crime and performed meritorious service, she should be rewarded."
"Well, the goddess is right." Emperor Ning responded, "But now the deputy commander of the imperial army has been replaced by a new person, and there is no shortage of people in Fusu. I haven't thought of it yet..."
"Father, Ziyan can't go back to the imperial army. But my son just saw that Zhang Shuai, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, has subdued the law. Right now, the Imperial Forest Army has no leader. It is the time when there is a shortage of people. Ziyan once assisted His Highness Prince Gong and led the 30,000 imperial army. My son thinks that she is qualified to be the commander of the Imperial Forest Army!" Zhong Liyuyan raised her eyes and said in a deep voice.
"The Imperial Forest Army..." Emperor Ning frowned, and knocked on the table with his backhand, "You are right, there is a shortage of people in the court, and the position of the Imperial Forest Army Commander is vacant. For a while, I can't think of anyone who can do it. Since Zi Yan has meritorious service, he will take over the post of commander of the Imperial Forest Army first!"
"Father is wise!" Zhongli Yuyan quickly kowtowed.
"Li De'an, intend to point." Ning Emperor's eyes fell on Zhongli Yuyan from the beginning to the end, and he never left for a moment.
"Yes." Li De'an went to fetch a pen and paper with trembling hands.
Zi Yan hurriedly kowtowed to thank her.
"Your Majesty, the six ministers are already waiting outside the hall. The goddess returns this time, and all the lords insist on their own opinions. Some plead for the concubine's empress, and some call for grievances for Lan Hou..." Li De'an leaned close to Emperor Ning's ear and whispered whisper.
Emperor Ning frowned slightly, "Where's their book?"
"It's all here." Li De'an said as he handed six notebooks forward.
Emperor Ning flipped through it hastily, and most of the parties were fighting between the prince's faction and King Ning's faction, but the booklet presented by Xia Qinglan from the household department was unique. He frowned, "Xia Qinglan, where is he?"
"Master Xia is waiting outside." Li De'an bowed his head and said respectfully.
Emperor Ning weighed the booklet in his hand twice, then turned to Li De'an and said, "Let Xia Qinglan come in, and the others, please go back!"
