Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The next day, after waking up, Fang Zheng leisurely made his way to the palace in a carriage.

Although he didn't have the qualification to attend court, no one stopped him from entering and exiting the palace.

Once inside, Fang Zheng headed straight for the Mingluan Hall.

He had no other business there except to bid farewell to the little princess before setting off on his journey as soon as possible.

The sooner he left, the better, otherwise, if something went wrong over there, who knew what would happen.

During these past few days, he had also taken the time to visit the Mingluan Hall for a few days, using the excuse of follow-up consultations to chat with the princess.

Fang Zheng's pretense of taking her pulse naturally caused the princess to blush with shyness.

Arriving at the hall, the palace maid skillfully led Fang Zheng to the back garden.

Now, many women in the harem had a good impression of Fang Zheng.

After all, he was a friend of women and the inventor of sanitary napkins.

In the court, he was surrounded by enemies, but unexpectedly, he thrived among the women.

Li Miaohan was resting in the pavilion in the back garden, and immediately smiled upon seeing Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng grinned and waved his arm.

A complete display of simping.

"Your subject, pays respects to Princess Your Highness."

Li Miaohan smiled sweetly: "Official Fang, you don't need to be so formal, please sit down."

After Fang Zheng sat down, he went straight to the point: "Princess, your subject has come to bid you farewell this time."

"Your subject is leaving, demoted by His Majesty to Jianjiang."

Li Miaohan's eyes showed concern as she whispered: "This palace knows, it is said that Official Fang has offended many people."

Then she paused for a moment: "This palace has also read the newspapers... This palace doesn't understand why you have to offend those ministers so much?"

"Are they all bad people?"

Fang Zheng shook his head and said: "Does Your Highness think that your subject is very despicable, using any means to achieve his goals?"

A little bit!

Li Miaohan hesitated and didn't speak.

Then Fang Zheng sighed: "Actually, where are there any bad people in the court? Back then, everyone was a sincere student, diligently and self-disciplined step by step to get to where they are today, and so is your subject."

"But as time goes by, many people forget their original intentions and value interests more than anything else."

"Your subject sees it in his eyes and is anxious in his heart. For the sake of the people of the world, he can only resort to this strategy."

"Sometimes, touching interests is more difficult than touching the soul."

"Therefore, your subject's demotion today is also within expectations."

"It's just that I didn't expect... Your Highness also sees me that way."

After speaking, Fang Zheng looked up to the sky and sighed, seeming to carry endless regret.

He didn't expect that he was judging a gentleman's heart with a petty person's mind!

Li Miaohan felt extremely embarrassed and said anxiously: "This palace didn't! Official Fang, don't overthink it."

Then she suddenly became hesitant: "This palace sent someone to find you yesterday and saw you strolling around the palace with a sword, seeming very happy..."

"Does Official Fang hope to leave the capital?"

As she spoke, Li Miaohan seemed a little lost.

Fang Zheng said "melancholy": "Where is your subject happy? He just loves life even after seeing through the truth of life."

"If your subject is not brave, who can be strong for me."

Li Miaohan lowered her head in shame.

The difference in realm suddenly made her feel ashamed.

The surrounding palace maids turned around one after another, even wanting to cover their ears with their hands.

Eye-burning, can't bear to look!

The princess has never been in contact with any men since she was a child, and was actually coaxed by this dog man.

Alas.....

Li Miaohan raised her head, her big watery eyes staring straight at Fang Zheng, expectantly: "Then how long will you be gone to Jianjiang before you can come back? I heard that Father Emperor rewarded you with a sword, you will definitely be able to come back soon."

Fang Zheng smiled bitterly: "This... your subject doesn't know. His Majesty's heavenly power is unpredictable, and the officialdom is also fickle. It's easy to go down, but difficult to come up."

"Once I leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for ten or eight years."

"Perhaps when I see Your Highness again, your subject... will already have grandchildren around my knees."

"Thinking that I can no longer diagnose and treat Your Highness, your subject feels heartache..."

Fang Zheng's face was full of sighs.

Li Miaohan felt a burst of discomfort in her heart when she saw it.

She hurriedly got up and said anxiously: "How could Father Emperor do this! A virtuous talent like Official Fang should stay in the capital."

"I'm going to talk to Father Emperor!"

"Princess, don't worry!" Fang Zheng took Li Miaohan's small hand in his hand.

The air stood still!

Li Miaohan's small face turned red, standing in place at a loss, letting Fang Zheng hold one of her soft hands.

Fang Zheng's face was thicker than a city wall, and he just held it like that without letting go.

So smooth and soft!

Fang Zheng couldn't say what he felt in his heart, and rubbed the back of her hand twice with his thumb.

This time, Li Miaohan's pretty face turned even redder, directly red to the roots of her ears.

She said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "Official... Official Fang... can you let go?"

Of course Fang Zheng wouldn't let go, and said with good reason: "Your subject wants to let go, but dares not... Your subject will be gone for ten or eight years!"

Li Miaohan heard the words and pursed her lips tightly, then sat down again.

The two of them were speechless, and the sound of birds chirping came from the back garden from time to time.

Fang Zheng was sitting on Li Miaohan's right, but he was holding her right hand with his right hand.

Li Miaohan was weak, so she could only sit with her body twisted, her head always turned away, not daring to look directly at Fang Zheng.

The posture was particularly awkward, and the atmosphere was very subtle.

Fang Zheng also felt that it was inappropriate and let go of Li Miaohan's small hand.

Li Miaohan quickly straightened her body, and a sense of loss arose in her heart.

But it didn't last for a second, and her left hand was held again.

Li Miaohan quickly lowered her head again, and a smirk appeared on Fang Zheng's face.

At this time, the scene fell into silence again....

After a long time, Li Miaohan bit her lower lip lightly, raised her head and said: "I heard from Imperial Brother... Official Fang gave a courtesan a diamond necklace..."

"This palace is a little curious, what does a diamond necklace look like..., and I heard that diamonds represent love, is there such a thing?"

What!?

Fang Zheng's face suddenly collapsed.

Why did a random bar suddenly cut in and twist the topic here!

What is the point of asking this! And what nonsense did that big-mouthed Crown Prince tell the princess!

Fang Zheng's embarrassed toes almost dug out a three-bedroom apartment.

He quickly explained: "These diamonds are all man-made, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning! Just like the porcelain outside."

"If Your Highness wants it, in a few days, I will send someone to send Your Highness a basket!"

Li Miaohan still wanted to ask, Fang Zheng quickly squeezed her small hand twice.

She was so ashamed that she quickly covered her face with her other hand, and said in a muffled voice: "Official Fang... let go."

Fang Zheng let go when he heard the words.

The little girl is shy, can't make it too excessive.

As soon as Fang Zheng's hand was released, Li Miaohan immediately turned around and left the pavilion, walking back to the hall.

Fang Zheng sat in the pavilion a little at a loss, falling into deep self-doubt.

Is she angry? Which step went wrong???

After a while, Li Miaohan stepped back with lotus steps and actually returned, holding a delicate small box in her hand and placing it on the table.

Fang Zheng looked at the small box in a daze, wondering in his heart, and looked at Li Miaohan.

"Princess, this is....?"

Li Miaohan's pretty face was full of determination, she opened the box, and said shyly: "These are the jewelry of this palace, you must need a lot of money for this trip... This palace has no money, only these, you can take them on the road and sell them."

Fang Zheng was stunned, his heart suddenly began to accelerate.

He was very moved in his heart, but his expression gradually became serious, he pinched out a hairpin from the jewelry box, and then closed the box.

"Your subject will take this hairpin away, and your subject appreciates the rest, Your Highness, don't worry."

"Actually... your subject also brought a gift for the princess this time."

"What gift?" Li Miaohan's eyes flashed with anticipation.

Fang Zheng silently took out two things from his arms and slapped them on the table with a bang.

Li Miaohan took a closer look.

Two big gold bracelets!
