Chen Yun sat quietly in the bathtub, with his eyes tied, allowing Su Xiaoman to wash his body. After a while, he slowly said:

"There is one more important matter to attend to tomorrow's court session."

Su Xiaoman: "Military power?"

"Correct."

Su Xiaoman thought for a moment, "But I think it's not appropriate for you to ask for military power at this time. Although I avenged what happened yesterday, there are still some omissions. For example, everyone will wonder why Jiang Shangheng suddenly appeared in the Queen Mother's Palace."

Chen Yun curled his lips: "It turns out you have some brains. I thought you did this kind of thing without considering the consequences."

Su Xiaoman: "That day in the palace, I also made a last-minute decision to replace Jiang Shangheng. I certainly couldn't have considered everything."

Chen Yun: "It's okay, he is just spreading rumors that I have witchcraft. I can also turn the tables and say that he placed his son in the Queen Mother's palace with evil intentions."

Chen Yun paused, and continued: "What you said is indeed correct. At present, I really cannot take the military power. But there is one person who can."

Su Xiaoman thought: "Chen Yin?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Great minds think alike."

At this moment, the system's voice sounded in my mind:

[Ding Ding, a new mission has arrived. Please complete the mission "Help King Jing Chen Yun deal with the issue of military power."]

[Completing the mission will increase your experience points and level up by 2; failing the mission will reduce your experience points and level down by 3.]

Su Xiaoman couldn't help but complain: [You came at a strange time. This mission has become normal. Have you found your conscience? ]

Ling Yi Ling: [The host mentioned normality to Ling Yi Ling. Is there anything more abnormal than the host, a girl, having a gay body? ]

Su Xiaoman blushed: [You! You speak so recklessly, aren't you afraid of being locked up in a small dark room?!]

Su Xiaoman helped Chen Yun dry himself and put on his clothes, then untied the cloth from his face: "Okay, you can go now."

Chen Yun: "I leave? Do I have to wash it myself?"

Su Xiaoman: "No, I can wash it."

Chen Yun: (°ー°〃)

Su Xiaoman: "Xun Kang, Cai Qing, change the water! Take the concubine back to the east side room to rest."

"I don't want military power!" Su Xiaoman had just finished talking to Chen Yin outside the palace gate during the morning court session the next day when he started to whine, "I am a free and easy immortal. I don't want to be chained to death in this capital."

Su Xiaoman looked at him with a helpless look on her face: [You are still the king of the sea! ]

She lowered her voice and said, "Be obedient. As long as you work hard, I will give you money to spend."

Chen Yin's eyes only brightened for a moment, then dimmed again: "I don't even have freedom, why do I need money?"

There was no other choice but to use his trump card: "I have lost my freedom, and what about the girl I love?!"

"Xia Shu!" Chen Yin laughed.

Su Xiaoman: [It’s over, it’s over. It’s time for two men to fight for one woman. Chen Yun, don’t blame me. You have to work hard to get your wife back.]

In the court, Su Xiaoman cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"What's the matter, Fifth Uncle?"

Su Xiaoman said: "I heard that Jiang Shangheng, the son of Prime Minister Jiang, has made a marriage contract with the late emperor's princess Chen Jiayu. Our dynasty has a rule since ancient times that the prince consort has no real power. I'm afraid that General Jiang's military power will have to be handed over."

Just as Jiang Yan was about to speak, Su Xiaoman interrupted him: "Prime Minister Jiang, your Excellency really only loves beauties and not the country! I admire you!"

Jiang Yan's face turned green, and he snorted, "Why, Prince Jing is here to ask for military power today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers in the court began to murmur.

Su Xiaoman had read the document in advance, so he knew that Jiang Yan also wanted the military power, so he imitated him and said, "Why, is the Prime Minister here to ask for the military power today?"

Jiang Yan: "It is up to your majesty to decide who will be given the military power."

Su Xiaoman: "You know it's His Majesty who makes the decision, yet you still come to ask me."

"You!" Jiang Yan suppressed his anger. "Humph, since Prince Jing mentioned being a consort, this old minister has one thing that is unclear. There is no record of my son entering the palace that day. But Prince Jing, who followed Eunuch Hu into Ci Shou Palace, disappeared for no reason, and there is no record of him leaving the palace. Don't you find it strange?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers' whispers could be heard again in the court.

Su Xiaoman: "Jiang Guoxiang, why are you lying with your eyes open?"

Jiang Yan immediately raised his hand and saluted the little emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, please send me the records at the palace gate."

After a while, Zheng Youfu entered the palace holding the entry and exit record book. The little emperor took a look at the record book and said, "It does have the time when General Jiang entered the palace and the time when the emperor's uncle left the palace."

Jiang Yan looked proud: "Did you hear that? There is indeed... um? A record? Impossible!"

The shrewd Su Xiaoman had secretly modified the document when Chen Yun reminded her. How could she wait for Jiang Yan to catch her with such evidence?

Su Xiaoman: "Why not? Did you arrange for someone to fake it, and that person didn't help?"

Jiang Yan said angrily: "How dare you speak nonsense in front of His Majesty."

The Seventh Prince Chen Yin stood up and said, "Prime Minister Jiang, why are you so angry and humiliated? Could it be that marrying my princess has brought shame to your Jiang family? Why are you so unhappy?"

Jiang Yan was about to say, "My son and the princess only met once, and it was just a coincidence that the Queen Mother and others saw us. It would be too hasty to arrange a marriage like this."

Su Xiaoman changed it to: "My son and the princess have only had a casual relationship, and it was just a coincidence that they were seen by the Queen Mother and others. It would be too hasty to arrange a marriage just like that."

Ministers: ······

The little emperor shouted angrily: "Prime Minister Jiang! How presumptuous you are!"

Jiang Yan knelt down with a plop.

Chen Yin: "Look, is this human language? First, General Jiang shouted in Cishou Palace, 'My father asked me to marry the princess', and then you, Prime Minister Jiang, said in the court that General Jiang and the princess were just 'a casual relationship'. Prime Minister Jiang, you are so bold!"

Su Xiaoman: "The princess is so noble, you are pushing her to death."

The little emperor slammed the table and stood up: "Princess Chen Jiayu and Jiang Shangheng's marriage has been decided. If you continue to talk nonsense, Prime Minister Jiang, I will kill you!"

Jiang Yan kowtowed and said, "This old minister dare not!"

Little Emperor: "As for the military power..."

Su Xiaoman: "Your Majesty, I request that the military power be handed over to the Seventh Prince Chen Yin. The Seventh Prince has traveled extensively for many years and has lived at the border for many years. He gets along very well with the generals in various places and is the most suitable candidate."

Chen Yun's confidants hurriedly echoed, "I also think that the Seventh Prince Chen Yin is the most suitable."

As for Jiang Guoxiang's cronies, they dared not say a word because they had just been reprimanded.
