The fire went out at night, the center of the lake was very cold, and he covered Su Xiaoman with his outer robe again.

I have a severe headache right now, and I can't tell if it's because of the alcohol or because I caught a cold.

He reached out to pull back his outer robe, but when he turned around, he saw Lian'er, who looked stunned. He was also startled: "Lian'er?"

Lian'er looked at the wine jar beside her, and her lips moved slightly. She could tell at a glance that King Jing stayed here because he drank last night, but she didn't know that King Jing didn't stay here alone.

Although she didn't know how she appeared next to Chen Yun in the blink of an eye, wasn't the purpose of her coming to Prince Jing's Mansion to get close to Prince Jing?

Maybe this is a God-given opportunity! ! God is helping me, so why shouldn’t I work hard?

So she calmed herself down, changed her posture from sitting to kneeling, and kowtowed respectfully to the Grand Empress Dowager, saying, "Grand Empress Dowager, I really love your Highness, and I was willing last night...last night, please help me and your Highness be together!"

Before the Grand Concubine Dowager and Chen Yun could say anything, Gu Jinxiu was furious.

"Bitch!" She took a step forward and slapped Lian'er in the face.

I have worked so hard but still haven't gotten the position of the queen, but these messy women come one after another. Now, any kind of maid in this mansion can climb into the bed of King Jing, it's really unlucky!

Xun Kang ran in breathlessly, holding his sword. Last night, he had finished what Chen Yun had arranged for him, and had been guarding outside the lake for most of the night. It was almost dawn, but the two of them hadn't come out yet, so he dozed off beside the stone with his sword in his arms. He hadn't expected that as soon as he woke up, the center of the lake was so lively.

He was about to come to help, but suddenly he found that the person kneeling next to the prince was... Why was it Lian'er? The people under his command clearly said that it was Prince Jing and the concubine in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. Where was the concubine?

He looked at the lake out of habit again, and then slapped himself in his mind: [Why did I feel that the concubine was in the lake? Pah pah pah. ]

The Grand Concubine frowned and looked at Chen Yun, asking, "What's going on?"

Lian'er was not upset after being slapped. She was sure that Chen Yun had drunk too much and fell asleep on the lake island. So she looked up at King Jing who had just stood up and put on his outer robe, stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes, begging:

"My lord, I know I am not worthy of you. I only ask you to have mercy on me for last night and let me return to serve you. I am willing to be just a maidservant."

Chen Yun raised his leg and stepped on Lian'er's hand that was holding the corner of his clothes. With just a little force, Lian'er let go. She bit her lip lightly, her eyes full of grievance and sadness: "Your Majesty..."

Of course Chen Yun knew who was the person who was with him on the island in the lake last night, and he also knew who was the best at "teleportation" in this mansion.

He patted his clothes slightly, and there seemed to be a ball of fire in his chest, ready to burst out.

At this moment, he really wanted Xun Kang to drag Lian'er down and chop her to pieces.

No, it's not the right time yet. Doesn't Su Xiaoman want Lian'er? Then she must let Lian'er stay by her side and continue to disgust her.

He said calmly: "Go back to your Crimson Purple Garden!" Then he left without looking back.

[OK, Su Xiaoman, you are good! ]

Chen Yun thought as he walked:

[Last night you said I didn't know how to be kind, but you are such a kind person. You clearly knew that Lian'er was the prime minister's man, yet you still put her next to me! ]

[Or are you also the Prime Minister's man, and want to help her get the upper hand so that she can harm me? I didn't have the heart to leave you alone on the island in the middle of the lake last night, and I was afraid that you would catch a cold.]

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He sat on the chair in the study, frowning for a long time.

With a "bang", the desk was hit, and the teacup that Xun Kang had just served him was also shaken with a "clang" and a lot of tea spilled out.

[Okay, don’t you love silver the most? ]

He lowered his voice and said angrily: "Spread my words, you are not allowed to pay the concubine monthly salary for the next six months!"

Xun Kang was a little confused. Could it be that the concubine did not serve well during the fight in the wild last night? Otherwise, why did they change a maid to go in early this morning, and why did they deduct the concubine's monthly salary now?

But in the past, if the master was unhappy, he would throw people out of the capital, and if he was even more unhappy, he would kill them. What kind of punishment is this deduction of half a year's salary?

It's so brain-intensive this early in the morning.

Xun Kang was stunned for a while, then nodded and said, "Yes, I will go and inform you later. But there is one more thing I need to report to the prince first."

Xun Kang dismissed the maids and servants serving in the study and whispered, "Last night, the prince asked me to check on the money manager. I checked and found that he was indeed abnormal."

As he spoke, he took out a lot of letter papers from his bosom. Some of the letter papers were placed aside by Chen Yun when he was practicing calligraphy; some of the letter papers were made by scraping off some words from Chen Yun's letter papers and pasting them together; and some of the letter papers were letters written by copying Chen Yun's handwriting for practice.

Chen Yun read the pieced-together letter carefully, and it was indeed a letter expressing dissatisfaction with the court and the young emperor, but the words were not complete yet, so the letter was naturally incomplete. But judging from the handwriting he copied, he had practiced for a long time.

"Call Chief Qian Yu."

"Yes."

After a while, Qian Yuchang entered the study and bowed.

Chen Yun put down the book in his hand and said, "Captain Qian, you have been living in Prince Jing's Palace since we acquired it. It has been nine years now."

"Yes, yes, it has been more than nine years since I have been blessed by Your Majesty's kindness."

"For the past nine years, I was really blind to have kept you by my side and made you one of the leaders."

Qian Guanling was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I have always been diligent and I dare not slack off for a moment."

"Oh?" Chen Yun stared at him blankly, then slowly stood up, picked up a pile of papers on the desk, threw them at him, and asked, "Why did you collect these? And why did you learn my handwriting?"

Manager Qian was so frightened that his hands were shaking. He looked at the papers scattered around him, which were exactly what he had collected from Chen Yun. He nervously turned his eyes around and explained, "I, I do admire the prince. Yes, it is because of admiration that I learned everything from the prince..."

The words were said in an extremely vague manner, and one could immediately sense his lack of confidence.

Chen Yun sneered, "Xun Kang, take off the head of Qian Guanling. Then thoroughly investigate Qian Guanling's cronies in this palace. Bring those with problems to me for review before I deal with them. Those without problems, as long as they are his cronies, should all be driven out of the capital."

"Yes." Xun Kang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, this is the normal operation. The master has finally returned to normal.

Xun Kang was about to take Qian Guan, who had collapsed on the ground in fear, away when Chen Yun stopped him:

"Don't punish me for the concubine's monthly salary."

Xun Kang blinked and asked casually, "Why?"
