This person must have come to him to complain, right? Then why didn't he say anything?

Could it be that...he should ask it himself?

Third Master: "Do you... have anything else to say?"

Concubine Lin still looked like she had been wronged but dared not speak out, and she was twisting and turning around the Third Master.

The Third Master was helpless, "You cried?"

Hearing this, Concubine Lin was furious. She immediately leaned over to the side of the Third Master's chair and knelt on the ground. Her tone was full of forbearance and pity. "Your Majesty, today in the Imperial Garden, I just reminded Concubine Ping and advised her to be careful of the little palace maid beside her. I didn't expect that the palace maid would curse at me directly and show off a fake death-free jade token to me. I asked Concubine Ping to bring her to your Majesty to sue in court, but Concubine Ping was not happy and took the little palace maid away."

"I am doing this for Sister Pingfei's own good. Sister Pingfei has just recovered and must not let a palace maid with evil intentions sway her will!"

Concubine Lin described it vividly, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

But the Third Master soon heard the key point from her story: Concubine Ping, the jade token of immunity from death.

This fearless Concubine Lin actually went to provoke his Meng'er!

Third Master: "The maid you are talking about is Rumeng?"

Concubine Lin was shocked. "Your Majesty, did you really give her the Jade Token of Immunity from Death?"

Rumeng was the maid given to Concubine Ping by the Emperor. Concubine Lin knew this. She deliberately did not mention Rumeng's name in her description. She knew that the Emperor loved Rumeng at the birthday banquet that day. How did the Emperor know that she was talking about Rumeng? The only way was that jade token of immunity from death.

Third Master: "Why? Rumeng has done a great job in protecting her master and saving Concubine Ping from the flooded room. She deserves it."

Concubine Lin: "But that girl is now in the palace, relying on the jade token of immunity from death, and has no regard for the law. She doesn't even bow when she sees her master, and she thinks she is the most powerful in the palace. Your Majesty, don't you care about this?"

The third master looked like he was asking, "What else? "Let her do what she wants."

Concubine Lin: "Your Majesty?!" Concubine Lin stood up from the ground. "What do I think I am? What do all the concubines in the harem think of? Can a mere palace maid be greater than us? Your Majesty, are you...really bewitched by that witch?"

The Third Master frowned slightly, "It's not your turn to judge yet."

Concubine Lin: "Your Majesty, you..."

Third Master: "Okay, go down, Mr. He."

Concubine Lin wanted to say something, but upon hearing the order, Elder He had already called several palace maids and carried Concubine Lin out of the imperial study. Concubine Lin's face was full of disbelief as she told the Third Master her "suggestion".

"Your Majesty! Wake up! They all say that Ru Meng is a witch who bewitched the emperor when she was dancing to 'Falling Flower Tears'. She is a witch who is bringing disaster to the country! Your Majesty!"

"Even if your Majesty doesn't care about us, you should think about the people of the Tianle Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty! That evil woman must be here to cause trouble for the government! Your Majesty, you can't do that!"

The third master sat on a chair, digging his ears. This woman is so noisy.

After sending the people away, He Lao returned to the imperial study and asked the Third Master a little worriedly, "Your Majesty, do you want to deal with this... that rumor?"

Third Master: "There are rumors in the palace about a woman who is causing trouble for the country? What are they saying?"

He Lao: "It's those ignorant people who are spreading the rumor that Miss Rumeng is a demon and bewitched you when she was dancing at your birthday party, so you go to Yanqing Palace every day just to have a tryst with the demon girl... They also say that Miss Rumeng has a scar on her face and she's not pretty, so she must have used some magic to dazzle you."

"Heh." The Third Master laughed angrily when he heard this. Meng'er is not pretty? Meng'er is a fairy, okay! A bunch of fools who don't know how to appreciate it!

Third Master: "Where is the source of this rumor?"

He Lao: "It should be the courtyard of Concubine Lin and Concubine Bai."

Third Master: "Prime Minister Bai..."

The Third Master was thinking, it seems that Prime Minister Bai has been very active recently.

It would be better to use this rumor to confirm his relationship with Meng'er. This way he can see Meng'er every day and relax some people's vigilance.

Are Huai'an's flowers about to bloom soon?

The Third Master smiled, he had a good idea.

On the second morning, at the court session, the ministers received good news: the emperor was going on a private visit in disguise!

This means that when the emperor is away, they don’t have to get up early every day to attend the morning court!

The Third Master announced at the morning court that he would go down the river to Huai'an. The mayor of Huai'an had sent a letter a few days ago, saying that Huai'an and other places in the south would soon have autumn harvests, and hoped that His Majesty would send someone to supervise. As a king, he had to do it himself, so His Majesty decided to go out in person to experience the customs and practices of Huai'an.

When the emperor announced that he was going to visit incognito, the ministers were very calm. However, when he announced the list of his entourage, some of them could not sit still, because he was going to bring a "witch" with him! The implication of this was obvious. It was obvious that the witch had seduced the emperor to be greedy for beautiful scenery and beauty, and to ignore state affairs and indulge in fun!

"Your Majesty, no! Your Majesty should focus on the overall situation and not be greedy for beauty!"

The Third Master kept rolling his eyes while sitting on the dragon throne. It wasn't you who submitted the petition to force marriage and childbirth? Why was it someone else who was unhappy? "What are you talking about, my dear minister? I am here incognito and have important matters to attend to. Do you only have romantic feelings in your heart?"

"But Your Majesty, it's ok for you to take Prince Mo's family with you, but why did you take a palace maid with you?"

Third Master: "What palace maid? That's the martial arts teacher from Prince Mo's Mansion, isn't it Master Mo?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace looked at the eldest master of the Mo family. Everyone in the Mo family was very proud of Rumeng, and the eldest master wanted to show off to everyone, "Yes, Rumeng is the teacher of everyone in our Mo Palace, and she is very skilled in martial arts!"

Even the Mo family said so. Rumeng is now a person of status, and they couldn't find any other points to refute. So the travel list was finalized.

The Mo Palace sent people to accompany them. Prince Mo chose himself, Mo Xiao and Mo Xun, and the concubines in the palace chose Mo Xi and Bai Guiren, plus the Third Master Ning Xu and He Lao. The guards brought the royal secret guards and the Mo family army.

The Third Master handed over the important matters in the palace to Prince Lin to handle, firstly to test him, and secondly because he was capable and responsible. Even if Prime Minister Bai wanted to use his position to do something that was not good for the people, Prince Lin would be the first to disagree.

Just like that, everything was decided without Ningxu knowing anything. When the Third Master came to inform Ningxu, Ningxu was sleeping in her room, and it was Concubine Ping who came to wake her up.

Ningxu was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, with the Third Master and Concubine Ping sitting opposite her.

Ningxu: "Does this mean we are going out for an outing in three days?"

Third Master: “Yes!”

Ningxu: "Why doesn't Sister Sheng'er go? It's so much fun. Sister Sheng'er hasn't left the palace for a long time, right?"

Ningxu munched on a bun and looked at Concubine Ping.
