From the Red Mansion, you can travel through the world of martial arts

Chapter 82 Do you really think of yourself as the queen mother?

Jia Wei took Ding Baiying with him, traveling during the day and resting at night, while continuing to train her and communicate with her physically and mentally.

If you fail to reach the town at night, sleeping in the wilderness is nothing more than a wild battle, which is even more exciting.

With the fighting power of the two, there was naturally no danger along the way, but Jia Wei heard a rumor and was very interested.

A team of Mongolian masters entered the Han Dynasty and left some traces, seemingly heading south of the Yangtze River.

Could it be the love-brained Zhao Min?

Jia Wei didn't have time to investigate carefully, so he returned to the capital a few days later. He showed his badge and entered the city, then headed straight for the imperial city.

Daming Palace, Linjing Hall.

"I am very pleased that Jia Qing has eliminated this treacherous villain. I am drafting an imperial decree to promote Jia Qing to the rank of first-class earl and to be in charge of the Jinyiwei."

Jia Wei quickly thanked him, saying that all the big plans he had drawn could be realized. There were not many good leaders like him.

Xuanwu sighed again, "It's a pity that we didn't find out where Wei Yan hid his treasures."

Jia Wei said, "I have failed to do my job well, Your Majesty, please punish me."

Xuanwu waved his hand and said, "That Wei Yan knows the methods of the factory guards, so it's normal that you can't get anything out of him. It's just that the finances are tight, and it's hard to have a good year this year."

Jia Wei thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Your Majesty, Wei Ao's residence is still sealed, it's time to raid it... There are also the eunuch party criminals, the Minister of Personnel Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of War Cui Chengxiu and others."

Xuanwu nodded and said, "This matter will be handled entirely by the Jinyiwei."

Get rich!
These people are all high-ranking officials in the imperial court. Previously, the eunuch party was in power, and I think they must have accumulated a lot of wealth, which is not comparable to Zhao Wuji's previous party members.

Jia Wei almost laughed out loud when he got this good job. He just heard Xuanwu continue, "Mr. Jia has just returned to the capital. After you rest for a few days, I have another important job for you to do."

Jia Wei quickly responded: "Your Majesty, I will go through fire and water!"

Xuanwu nodded with satisfaction: "I want to rectify the Lianghuai salt business to increase tax silver!"

Rectifying the salt business is a big deal, so Jia Wei couldn't help but think too much... Was it because Wei Ao's inheritance was not found that the emperor was anxious and wanted to make money from the salt business?
"I have decided to appoint Zhao Zongxian, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, as the imperial commissioner to rectify the salt business with Lin Ruhai, the imperial censor of salt inspection. However, the situation in Lianghuai is complicated. You will lead the Jinyiwei to protect and assist the imperial commissioner along the way."

"Wei Chen accepts the order."

Fortunately, going to Jiangnan is not a hard job... Of course, being on a business trip is definitely not as comfortable as enjoying yourself at home.

After leaving Linjing Palace, Jia Wei went straight to Fengzao Palace, ready to take Yuanchun out of the palace.

While Jia Wei was still waiting outside Fengzao Palace for a message, he saw a figure running out in a hurry. The palace maids behind him couldn't catch up with her. It was Princess Jianning.

"You are finally back. Are you here to see me, Lord Jia?"

Jia Wei said sternly, "Princess, I have something important to discuss with the Queen Mother."

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Jian Ning patted his chest again and said coquettishly, "You're calling me princess at this time?"

Jia Wei felt that those palace maids looked a little unfamiliar to him, so he coughed lightly and said, "Princess, please respect yourself."

Jianning pulled him inside, blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "What are you waiting for here? I'll take you in. When you've finished your work, come to my bedroom. I have work to do with you, too."

Jia Wei chose to ignore it: "Then I'll continue to wait outside..."

It is better to go to the palace less often in the future, so as to avoid troubles...

"Jianning!" Suddenly a stern voice sounded, "How can you pull and tug in public?"

When Jianning heard this voice, she was so frightened that she trembled: "Mother, I know I was wrong."

She whispered, "I'll wait for you outside, you have to come today!"

After saying that, Jianning slipped out. Jia Wei looked at the empress dowager who had a bad look on her face.

This fake empress dowager is really acting like one.

Jia Wei walked forward a few steps, saluted and said, "Greetings to the Queen Mother."

Behind the Queen Mother, Yuanchun looked sick, but she was able to get out of bed and walk. She glanced at Jia Wei, and her bright eyes under her willow-leaf brows lit up. The Queen Mother glanced at Jia Wei and said coldly, "I have asked Xia Shouzhong to go to the Jia Mansion to convey the imperial decree, granting Yuanchun grace and letting her leave the palace. The Emperor has also issued an order, considering Yuanchun's meritorious service as a guard, to promote her father Jia Zheng to the position of Langzhong of the Ministry of Works."

Jia Wei bowed his hands and said with a smile: "On behalf of the Jia family, I would like to thank the Queen Mother for her grace."

Yuanchun hurried out, knelt down and thanked the emperor, with a sad face, and it was unclear whether she was excited or sad.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother seemed to recall the time when Yuanchun served her in the past, and she said softly, "Get up. The ground is cold, and your injuries have not healed yet. You must take care of yourself after leaving the palace."

Yuanchun was indeed weak. She staggered when she stood up and almost fell. Fortunately, Jia Wei, who was standing beside her, held her up.

Yuanchun clearly felt the warmth coming from Jia Wei's palm. Her red lips moved, but she took back the word "Brother Wei" that was about to reach her lips.

From time to time, Jia Wei followed Yuanchun to her bedroom and watched Baoqin sorting out her clothes...

On the outer corridor, Jianning handed a white porcelain palace lantern teapot to a palace maid, pinched her arm, and threatened fiercely: "You must make Jia Wei drink it, otherwise I will punish you!"

The maid begged for mercy and replied, "I understand, Princess."

"Go, go, go!"

Seeing the palace maid walk over, Jianning returned to the palace with a sly smile on his face: "I told you not to listen to me! Let's see who you can find in the palace to detoxify you..."

"Big sister, are you worried about something?" Jia Wei looked at the girl sitting opposite him.

Inside the house, Yuanchun had taken off her court lady's robes and put on an apricot-colored long skirt. She also put on some makeup to cover up her sickly pale face.

But the joy on her face quickly faded, and Jia Wei actually read a bit of melancholy and confusion in her quiet eyes.

Hearing this, Yuanchun looked at Jia Wei and smiled softly: "It's nothing, brother, I was just a little distracted. After all, I have been in the palace for so long, and suddenly I have to go out..."

Jia Wei thought, the imperial city is isolated from the outside world, isn't this the same as being in prison for a few years? He understood it a little.

Suddenly, a beautiful and well-built palace maid came in with a tea tray. Yuanchun stood up and said, "My sister is here."

It seems that the two have a good relationship.

They chatted for a while, and the maid helped Yuanchun sit down again: "I know that you are leaving the palace. There are many things to do in the courtyard, so I specially made a pot of tea and sent it to you."

Yuanchun's eyes moistened, "My sister is thoughtful."

The maid poured a cup of tea for Jia Wei and smiled sweetly, "Master Jia, please."

"Thank you, sister." Jia Wei took it, took a sip, and tasted the lingering fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.

The three of them chatted for a while. It was rare for the Empress Dowager to come, so she chatted with Yuanchun with great sincerity.

"…I was reluctant to leave, but Commander Jia is right. Sheep kneel to thank their mothers for feeding them, and crows repay their parents for feeding them. I can't stop you from going home to serve your parents and show your filial piety."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she saw Yuanchun was moved to tears, and then she nodded in satisfaction. She looked at Jia Wei beside her and said calmly:
"All of you please go out. I need to tell Commander Jia a few words."

Yuanchun wiped her tears, poured some hot tea for the empress dowager, and then left.

The Queen Mother took a sip of her teacup and said in a cold voice, "I have kept my promise and let Yuanchun leave the palace... Where is the Emperor's will?"

"Last will? What last will? What is the Queen Mother talking about?" The two of them were alone, and Jia Wei casually walked to a chair nearby and lay down lazily.

The Queen Mother slammed the table so hard that the tea bowls were shaken up. "How dare you! Do you think I will allow you to sit down?"

Jia Wei chuckled, then he suddenly stood up, walked to the Queen Mother, bent down and slowly approached her.

This action was very oppressive, but the Queen Mother was not afraid at all. She raised her head to meet Jia Wei's aggressive gaze and said coldly: "What do you want to do? How dare you!"

Jia Wei whispered, "Do you really think of yourself as the Queen Mother?"

Jia Wei suddenly avoided...

He sniffed the refreshing fragrance of the Queen Mother and felt a burning sensation in his lower abdomen. Why?

Hiss...something's wrong!
