Chapter 462 The following offense
The little girl stood beside the two kneeling adults, her round eyes full of smiles, "Thank you..."
After receiving Jiang An's courtesy, the young eunuch had a better impression of her.
He glanced at the two kneeling adults, with disdain flashing in his eyes.
The beautiful and good-tempered county lady is much better than these two adults who don’t treat them as human beings...
"and many more."
Minister Bai swallowed hard and said to the eunuch in a domineering tone: "I am very thirsty. Bring me some tea."
The young eunuch replied respectfully, "No."
"No?"
At this point, Minister Bai, who was almost out of breath, stood up immediately.
I just stuffed some silver into his pocket!
The young eunuch said, "Minister Bai, this is the Chenglong Palace, and you are kneeling. Without His Majesty's reward, there will be no tea."
"you!"
Minister Bai gritted his teeth in anger and whispered, "Your Majesty is not here at the moment, so why don't you give me some tea!"
"This... Mr. Shangshu..."
Jiang An waved at the young eunuch, signaling him to leave.
"I've already told you I don't have any tea for you, so why are you chasing after me like a scoundrel?"
Seeing the young eunuch enter the hall, Minister Bai glared at the nosy girl.
He pointed at Jiang An and said, "Who are you from? You have no right to interrupt me when I'm talking!"
"Who brought you into the palace?"
A girl of this age was not summoned, and her family would not allow her to enter the palace on her own.
He wanted to see which family brought such an rude little girl!
Jiang An replied honestly: "Madam Dingyuan Marquis brought me in."
"Mrs. Ding...Marquis Dingyuan?"
Minister Bai’s angry expression froze and he retracted his fangs instantly.
He couldn't afford to offend this woman. Even Queen Mother Xie would have a headache when she saw her...
but…
Minister Bai frowned, and muttered to Minister Qi, who was dying beside him, "When did the Dingyuan Marquis's family have such a relative?"
If he remembered correctly, the wife of Marquis Dingyuan was the only one left in her family. Marquis Dingyuan was born in the countryside, and his wife had driven away those extremely poor relatives a long time ago...
The more he thought about it, the weirder it seemed to Minister Bai.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of his daughter who was dissatisfied with her marriage, which gave him a headache!
The wife of Marquis Dingyuan must be crazy, going against the Empress Dowager over such a small matter.
The intelligence report submitted to him clearly stated that she had visited the mansions where those young men lived the day before yesterday...
A light bulb went off in Minister Bai's mind, as if he remembered something.
If he remembered correctly, his daughter came back and told him that the young man had a little girl with him and they were very close.
From my daughter's description, she was almost identical to the little girl standing in front of me!
"You are…"
Minister Bai struggled to get up, his eyes looking as if he wanted to eat Jiang An alive.
With a "snap", Jiang An's hand pressed down on Minister Bai's shoulder...
The little girl was incredibly strong and had no sense of restraint in her attacks.
Minister Bai only felt that his bones were making strange noises, and he lost his voice in pain!
Jiang An stood there as if nothing had happened, with a mocking smile on his face, and said in a relaxed tone: "Shangshu, you'd better not move. Don't forget your loyal character to His Majesty at this moment."
"you!"
Minister Bai's old face was distorted. Seeing that he could not escape Jiang An's grip, he did not worry too much at the moment. He just thought that since the little girl had already appeared in front of the palace, he did not need to wait for his people to go to the mansion to arrest her.
Thinking of this, he called out loudly into the palace, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
"The Dingyuan Marquisate conspired with the Dali Temple Minister Wu Heting...conspired to murder me! Your Majesty!"
"This witness is right in front of the temple right now..."
Jiang An's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of sadness flashed across his eyes.
Just as she thought, he was as stupid as a pig!
If such a person were placed in Hu Yan's place, he would probably be too lazy to even use any strategies...
He didn't even think about why Jiang An appeared here at this time. She couldn't be here to die.
"Minister Bai!"
The eunuch who had entered the palace to deliver the message came out and stopped Minister Bai from his suicidal behavior with a gloomy face.
"Sir Shangshu, shouting like this in front of the palace is a crime of impoliteness!"
"Eunuch, did His Majesty say he wanted to see me?"
The little girl silently withdrew her hand and interrupted what Minister Bai was about to say.
The young eunuch changed his expression and stepped aside, "Your Majesty, please invite the county lady into the palace for a chat."
Jiang An gave Niang Niang a look, and the latter understood. He took out a roll of silver bills from his sleeve and stuffed it into the little eunuch's hand.
The young eunuch smiled like a flower and refused awkwardly, "My Lady, you are embarrassing me..."
That's what he said, but he collected the money really quickly~
The little girl didn't even see where he was hiding.
"County Lord...what county lord?"
Minister Bai was completely stunned now, and tried to stand up using his left hand to support himself.
But this left hand was just pinched by the little girl, and the bones are probably cracked. How can he still remember it?
Jiang An and the people in front of the hall just watched him fall flat on his face, his face turning pale in pain.
"She...she's just a girl with no status. Don't be fooled by her!"
"I want to see your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
The corner of the little girl's mouth twitched, and she kindly changed her direction, grabbed Minister Bai by the back of his collar with one hand, and pulled him up.
"I said, Minister Bai..."
She waved the token of the Zhenguo Palace under his nose, "Do you think everyone in this world is as stupid as you?"
"Can the county lady be impersonated?"
“This is impossible… This is impossible!”
"Ah~"
The little girl had a look on her face that said, "This man is hopeless." She whispered to him, "If I were the minister, I would be running home right now."
She said quietly, "After all, trespassing into the county lady's residence is a crime of treason, and one should be executed..."
After saying this, Jiang An strode into the Chenglong Palace without even needing the eunuch to lead the way.
after all…
She is familiar
In a flash, Minister Bai was like a rebellious ape, shouting and dragging Minister Qi, who had fainted on the ground at some point, down the stairs.
It's really hard for him to drag people with his two useless arms~
From beginning to end, Jiang An never looked back.
The stage was set up, but the two actors went on strike, and the play, which was orchestrated by the Xie family behind the scenes and targeted Wu Heting, was over.
Inside the palace, Wu Heting and His Majesty, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on either side of a soft couch, each holding a black and white chess piece...
Jiang An first glanced at the chess board.
The black pieces are full of loopholes, and the white pieces give in step by step...
Lord Wu is quite knowledgeable about the officialdom.
A smile flashed in her eyes, and she raised her voice to greet him, "Jiang An from the Zhenguo Palace greets His Majesty!"
Although it was a greeting, she only performed military etiquette, her movements were free and easy, she did not kneel...she did not even bow her head.
“Hahaha…hurry…get up!”
His Majesty took the opportunity to throw down the chess piece and pulled the little girl to his front.
"Let me take a look..."
"You look thinner and taller than you were two years ago!"
Wu Heting looked at the messy chessboard and smiled helplessly.
