study,

Two secret guards in black knelt on one knee in front of Jiang Jichen.

One of them was a secret guard he sent out to handle the account books.

One of them is Jiang Si, who followed Jiang An to the post station and set fire to it.

The study was brightly lit, and the flickering warm candlelight illuminated the handsome face of the Shang King.

"My Lord, I have something to report."

There was a knock on the study door. Jiang Jichen, who had not slept all night, rubbed his brows and wanted only to go back to the main courtyard to wake up the sleeping Tuanzi.

His voice was low and cold, "Come in."

As soon as Niang Niang entered the study, she knelt down in a row with the two secret guards and saluted, "Your servant greets the prince."

Jiang Jichen glanced at the three of them, tapping the table with his fingertips regularly.

The thumping sound in the silence, along with the heartbeats of the three kneeling people, frightened the secret guards who were used to seeing life and death.

A certain prince was helpless, "Who will speak first..."

Nianniang spoke first.

After all, she still had to go back to keep watch for the young lady.

Although Zhengyan was guarding, he was still a guard after all. If the young lady kicked the quilt and caught a cold...

"This servant, Zhengyan, and Zhenglu took the young lady out of the palace without permission. Please punish us, Your Majesty!"

The woman's hoarse voice was not very pleasant to the ear, but her tone was obviously much more relaxed.

Jiang Jichen lowered his eyelids and didn't even look at her, only his eyebrows twitched.

She took the initiative?

Although the secret guards had already reported this to him, Jiang Jichen still felt like he had a heart attack after hearing it again.

A three-year-old kid sneaked into the post station with his maids and guards in the middle of the night and beat up the court officials.

If this happened in other families, it would probably be recorded in the family history books!

He exhaled a breath of turbid air, his tone was calm, without any anger or blame, "Okay, stop covering up for that little bastard."

Without her, who among the three who were once secret guards and the prince's confidants would dare to make decisions on their own...

"You, Zhengyan, and Zhenglu are all Jiang An's people, so just listen to her in everything."

"However... you still need to inform me of what you did outside, just like you did tonight!"

So that he won't be able to wipe his butt in time...

Nianniang: "Yes, I understand."

Afterwards, Nianniang repeated what she saw on the rooftop: a sneaky man in the room of You Shilang Xu, and the conspiracy regarding the military pay account books.

After explaining everything clearly, Niang Niang bowed and left the study.

Jiang Jichen sat at the top, his eyes moved to Jiang Si who was kneeling with a cold face,

It's your turn to confess...

Jiang Si covered his face, revealing eyes like the abyss, without any emotion, and his calm voice seemed to be describing what he had for dinner today.

"I saw the young lady leave the house and followed her without permission,"

"After the young lady left the post station, he sneaked into the post station and stabbed Xu Youshilang, overturned the account books, and set fire to the post station's stables and warehouses."

The little secret guard kneeling in the corner (weak, pitiful and helpless): You did all my work!!

Jiang Si entered the post station to erase Jiang An's traces.

When he found that she did a very clean job, he took over the job that another secret guard was supposed to do.

Even to add icing on the cake, he stabbed Xu Youshilang with a knife, making it more realistic...

Little Dark Guard: Otherwise, how can you be called a senior?

Bandits sneaked into the post station in the middle of the night, assassinated a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, destroyed the military pay account books, and intended to burn down the post station.

As a border defense general, Jiang Jichen has the right to participate in the investigation of this incident...

As for the injured Right Vice Minister, he was in an important position but failed to guard properly. After his injury healed, he would naturally accept the punishment of the court.

Jiang Jichen: "Well done..."

He glanced at Jiang Si, who seemed to be naturally expressionless, and changed his tone, "Don't tease my Gongsun Shu again!"

"Go out."

Don’t think he doesn’t know that Jiang Si was squatting on the tree and shaking off the leaves for Tuanzi to see!

Jiang Si: "...Yes, I will obey your orders."

The little secret guard squatting at the side noticed that the conversation between the master and Jiang Si had ended, and it was his turn to speak next.

For the first time in his life, he traveled outside the universe.

I took on the task, and then what happened?

Oh.

I did nothing but watched waves of people enter and exit the post station in the dark...

Facing the master's gaze, the little dark guard's legs were shaking under his robe.

Damn it, this is his first time going on a mission independently, how could he encounter such things!

"My Lord, I have also found the man that Mei... Niang Niang was talking about at the back door of the post station."

"Thirteen is following."

The sky was about to brighten. Jiang Jichen, who had not slept all night, simply waved his hand and asked the little secret guard to leave.

"Go to the main courtyard and wake up the young lady at 12:00 a.m."

“…Yes, Master.”

Humph, he was busy all night, but the culprit was sleeping comfortably in his bed.

Everyone, get up and work!

At the hour of Mao,

Nian Nian took Jiang Xiaotuanzi out of the quilt and gently wiped her face with a warm handkerchief.

Jiang An, whose limbs were warmed by the heating, was like a pancake, flattened wherever he was placed...

After washing her face and putting on her clothes, Niang Niang handed the cake to the prince.

In the carriage at the gate of the Zhenguo Palace, Jiang An yawned and looked at his elegant and noble stepfather in the carriage.

You better be busy to wake me up so early...

Jiang Jichen was wearing a round-necked robe today, with a fox fur coat on the outside. The navy blue fabric was not embroidered with many patterns. The waistband around his waist hugged his slim waist, and the waistband and arm guards were inlaid with metal pieces of tiger beasts.

Jiang An sat on the soft cushion of the carriage, nodding his head, his voice filled with the daze of someone who had not yet woken up.

"Dad, where are we going..."

“I haven’t eaten yet…”

"So hungry..."

"sleepy…"

I want to eat while sleeping...

She mumbled for a while, but her father was still reading the book in his hand.

I don't know what's good to see.

Jiang An lifted up her father's fox fur coat, and lay beside Jiang Jichen's legs in a cocoon-like state under his cold gaze.

It’s definitely not that Jiang An wants to sleep in, it must be that the child is still growing!

Looking at this little kid who had no idea that she had gotten into trouble, Jiang Jichen couldn't help but poke her chubby face.

"Not awake yet..."

"But there was too much noise in the middle of the night."

"How was it? Did you have fun?"

Her father's tone was grim.

Jiang An shuddered, and even his sleepiness ran away.

She glanced at her father, who looked the same as always, and plucked the fur on the fox fur with her little hands.

"I sacrificed my sleep time to vent my anger on my father,"

"Children who don't get enough sleep won't grow tall,"

"I am so kind, you can't be angry..."

"You can't punish me!"

What the three-year-old kid said was righteous, and she almost believed it herself...

Although he knew that Jiang An was making it up, Jiang Jichen still softened his tone.

"I didn't say I would punish you..."

……

"master,"

Jiang Jichen: “Speak.”

Through the carriage door and heavy curtains, Guan Yan lifted a small gap from the window and passed a thin piece of paper.

"A secret report came from the post station. Yuan Wailang sent a message to the capital. He did not use the official messenger, but found the escort of Chongguan..."

In the carriage, Jiang Jichen protected the sleepy Tuanzi under the fox fur coat and walked closer with his feet hooked on the charcoal fire.

He took the secret message from the small window of the carriage, read it and threw it into the charcoal fire.

After the fire at the post station last night, You Shilang Xu was beaten unconscious by thieves. The account books came into the hands of Yuanwailang Qian, and naturally, the problem was discovered by this minor official from the Ministry of Revenue.

Qian Yuanwailang is under the command of the Second Prince, and Xu Youshilang and the new Qianliangshi are the Prime Minister's men.

There will be another good show in Kyoto.

Jiang Jichen's eyes flashed with disdain and mockery.

"Guan Yan, go to the street and buy some clean food..."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A certain stubborn king would never admit that he regretted messing with the little kid so early in the morning.

The carriage was swaying as it moved, the wheels squeaking as they pressed against the road. Jiang An, who was protected by a fox fur coat, was smacking his lips and sleeping soundly.

In his dream, Tuanzi seemed to hear the shouting of street vendors in the distance, but when the carriage passed by, there was no sound.

Outside the carriage, a carriage with the logo of the Zhenguo Palace passed by. The vendors on both sides of the street stopped talking at the same time, and even the pedestrians lowered their footsteps.

There was fear and respect in their eyes...

The steamed buns were white, tender and steaming hot. The aroma seeped into the carriage through the cracks, like a little hand hooking Jiang An.

Tuanzi's eyes suddenly opened, her nose twitched a few times in desire, and her glass-like eyes stared at her father.

"Smash it!"

Jiang Jichen casually lifted his eyelids and supported his forehead with one hand.

With a smile on his face, he flicked Tuanzi's forehead with his finger, "Those who climbed over the wall and left the house last night are not allowed to eat buns!"

At the same time, Guan Yan's voice sounded outside the carriage, "My Lord, I've bought the food."

“It’s from Yu Fu Building…”

Jiang An:!

She smiled until her eyes narrowed into slits, and she spread her hands over her father who was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted.

The tone was sticky, "Daddy Crab~"

"Dad is the best. Dad is the best dad in the world!"

Jiang Jichen put his big hands on Tuanzi's eyes that were as bright as stars, and said in an urgent tone, "Shut up, my king!"

He dignifiedly tore off the dough stuck to his body, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"Eat your food..."

Jiang An was holding a big food box, smiling like a dog. Is her father shy?
