The eunuch from the palace came to pass the order.

The two lanterns are particularly conspicuous in the dark night.

Ji Yanran had not been sleeping at all, and when she heard the news, she immediately got up and put on her clothes. Li Yong also came back from the study.

"Go and get the official uniform of the Third Master." Ji Yanran ordered Rong's mother.

Mother Rong responded.

The room became busy immediately.

Li Yong's expression was still very calm, as if nothing had happened. He walked over and stood in front of her: "Don't worry, there will be no problem. Don't panic when you hear any news at home. I'll let Tang Qian and the others stay, in case Xie Bian's people sneak in."

"So what," Ji Yanran said, "Can I escape if you are caught? The monk can run away but the temple can't run away."

Ji Yanran raised her head and saw him smiling at her: "Are you worried about me?"

He deliberately stood there and did not move, obviously asking her to help change her clothes.

When he just came over, he lay on the bed like a sick cat. She followed Master Shi Kong to change his medicine every day. She had never seen anything before, and she was still afraid that he would not succeed?

"I don't worry about you," Ji Yanran said, "I just worry about my brother and myself."

"Yes," Li Yong smiled, "I know that we are not real couples anyway. You change my clothes with your own hands, just to show others."

He said he was showing off his appearance, but there were no one else in the room.

After being joking like this easily, Ji Yanran's heart that had just been snatched seemed to be much more relaxed: "It's so late that you will be told to go there, and you won't be fooled easily."

"I know," Li Yong pulled Ji Yanran's hand. This time she did not hide, "We will have breakfast together tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he tidied up his clothes and walked out strode.

Ji Yanran looked at Li Yong's back, how could she not be worried?

I hope Ran Liu and Gu Heng and others will go smoothly.

...

The emperor looked at the people in the hall with a gloomy face.

Ran Liu, Gu Heng, Lin Shaoying and Lu San stood in a row. Although they changed their clothes and treated the wounds, they were still so ridiculous.

Lin Rang glanced at Lord Ran and Cheng's benefactor. Cheng's benefactor looked like he was about to tear his son and eat it. It seemed that even if the emperor did not deal with Gu Heng, he would not let his own son see the sun tomorrow again.

Think about the few words that Chenggong whispered to him outside the Prince’s Mansion...

It's so hypocritical. He obviously wants to excuse his children and act like this, so he won't be afraid of being struck by lightning when he goes out.

Lin Rang just thought of this when a "boom" exploded outside.

Cheng'en Duke looked righteous and upright: "You are so ruthless and shameless, you don't know how to be loyal to the court and work hard for the country, and you still do whatever you want. God will kill you."

Before Gu Heng could speak, Ran Liu raised his head: "We are either doing anything wrong, or he," and pointed at the official in Hebei Road. "He pretended to be an official in the court. I asked him a few questions, but who knew he would start with me."

Lord Ran looked ugly: "That is the imperial court official."

Ran Liu opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Is he really? He is also here to celebrate the birthday of the prince?"

The emperor turned his head and looked at the prince standing next to him. Since the prince came in, he has stood there silently, making people forget his existence.

The prince immediately said, "Father, that official just happened to go to Beijing and did not come to celebrate his son's birthday."

"I don't look like it," Ran Liu continued, "the man's shoes were all broken. He obviously walked a long way and had no gifts in his hand. I thought he had sneaked into the prince's mansion to eat for free, so he grabbed him and asked a few questions. But he said that Hebei Road had a severe drought and could not get enough food this year. We playboys are still living a lot of money. Sooner or later, Wu Chao will be defeated by us."

Ran Liu said, widening his eyes: "Your Majesty, I am wronged. How can I... spare him if this person speaks like this?"

The official from Hebei Road knelt down in Ran Liu's voice and knocked on the ground: "Your Majesty, everything that I said is true. This time I came to Beijing to send news to the prince. Hebei Road has been drought for years, but the granary has been empty for a long time. If a war is really fought, it will really make those foreign enemies win without fighting."

Just said this, the prince's face suddenly turned pale. No matter what happened over the years, he would stand by and watch the fun. Who knew that if he didn't check, he would be dragged down from the water...

"Father, this matter needs to be investigated carefully..."

Before the prince finished speaking, Ran Liu said: "The Wu Dynasty has countless grains. What is the three-year drought? After the emperor ascended the throne, the weather was good, the national treasury was full, and the capital was built with warehouses, and the rice and grain inside could be eaten for hundreds of years. This is well known. There are such rumors... According to the Wei Minister, such people who confuses the morale of the army must be spies of the enemy country. They should kill him to serve as a warning to others."

The officials in Hebei Road suddenly laughed and looked a little crazy: "I didn't expect to hear such a joke. Food can be eaten for a hundred years. Why are there so many people who starve to death? We fight against the enemy on the frontier, and they naturally don't know the suffering of the people."

"It's great to be on the frontier," Ran Liu straightened his chest, "Master, I'm sorry, please go to the frontier to fight against foreign enemies. I will never return to the capital unless I win a battle."

Hearing this, Lord Ran immediately bent down: "Please ask the emperor to sue him. It is because the humble ministers are not strict in discipline, so they can raise such an unworthy son."

Gu Heng glanced at Ran Liu and said, "Emperor, I also asked myself to fight the enemy on the frontier."

Lin Shaoying was not willing to be outdone: "I also asked myself to fight against the enemy, and I will never return if I cannot win."

Seeing a few people arrogantly trying to go to the border, the emperor said calmly: "Do you know what you are talking about? How dare you be so unscrupulous in front of me? Where do you think this is?"

Ran Liu, Gu Heng, and Lin Shaoying immediately knelt down.

"Gathering people to cause trouble," the emperor sneered, "not only did he not repent, but he also wanted to enter the military camp... and those who came, they were all taken to the Ministry of Justice."

The guard immediately stepped forward and took several people out.

The emperor looked at the Hebei Road official: "What is the crime of entering Beijing without being summoned? He took off his official uniform and went to prison."

"You disappoint me," the emperor looked at Lin Rang and others, "all of them were fined for one year, protecting the Duke of the State, and the Duke of the Benefactor will not leave the capital."

Lin Rang and others retreated, and the prince couldn't help but pursed his lips: "Father, I really don't know... It's all my fault for not figuring out such a thing."

The emperor seemed to calm down and he looked at the prince quietly: "Now you know, what should you do about what you told me about Hebei Road?"

Didn’t the father use this incident to punish the Ran family, Cheng Ben Duke and the Duke of the National Guard? Why did he come to ask him again now?

"Father, it's not the season for grain production yet, those words are just speculations," the prince said and swallowed. "My son thought he should send someone to Hebei Road to check carefully, so..."

"What if I ask you to go?" said the emperor, "There are constant wars in the northern border. How about you leading troops to calm the war?"

The prince shook all over. He would rather be punished than go to war. He had no eyes on the sword and gun. His father almost died on the battlefield back then. What's more, he might be plotted against if he leaves the East Palace: "Father, son minister... son minister also wants to go, but the East Palace is busy with affairs..."

Before he could speak, he only heard the emperor say, "You are not as good as a few playboys. No wonder you begged the Empress Dowager in private to give Chang Ning to you as your step-concubine. The Empress Dowager refused to agree to anything. In order to avoid this marriage, the Lin family simply refused even the King of Jin and chose a Li Joe because you are not like a crown prince at all."
