Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 597 Lotus Root Soup
Is it the border of Jin?It seems that more and more people from the Jin Kingdom came to the Great Zhou Dynasty recently.

Jin Yantang's eyes moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said: "First send troops to protect the people and then retreat to minimize casualties. I will handle this matter personally. Prime Minister Zuo, you should collect more information about Jin."

"Yes, Your Majesty, it's just that the national power of the Great Zhou Dynasty is stronger than that of the Jin Dynasty. I think General Shang should send troops to suppress it."

Chen Shilang proposed this matter in the main hall, and he was slightly surprised that Jin Yantang would choose to give in to Jin.

On the side, Shang Kelin didn't make a sound, but just listened to them patiently.

As soon as Chen Shilang's words fell, Jin Yantang said in a deep voice; "Just do as I say, no one should act rashly, and don't fight against Jin without my order. I will deal with this matter myself. You don't need to say more. In addition, General Shang wants to strengthen the martial law in the capital, and if any suspicious person is found, he will be taken down immediately, and Wei Jin must not be let go."

It's enough to say everything, and everyone has nothing to refute. For a while, they stopped talking and saluted respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."

And Jin Yantang didn't continue this topic, but looked at Lu Zirui who was on the side and said, "Young Minister Lu, what reward do you want for your achievements in controlling the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, please tell me."

In the main hall, Shang Kelin and Chen Shilang stood on the left and right, and Lu Shilang stood behind them.

He was wearing a blue embroidered auspicious beast court dress, a sapphire crown on his head, some stubble on his face, and a little rough skin. He looked like he had experienced wind and frost.

Hearing this, Lu Zirui's eyes lit up, he immediately looked up at Jin Yantang and said, "Miss Lan, Your Majesty, I want to see Miss Lan."

As soon as these words came out, a hint of doubt flashed in Shang Kelin's eyes.

Before Lan Ke was canonized as a queen, he also checked Lan Ke's identity, but this person seemed to appear out of thin air. There was no record of her identity in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and her only apparent relationship was with Lu Shilang's family .

She entered the palace as a beautiful girl, it was Lu Shilang's recommendation letter to His Majesty, and her background was also Lu Shilang's relative.

How could someone who couldn't find any identity records suddenly appear as Lu Shilang's relative?

Therefore, Shang Kelin would unexpectedly pay more attention to anything related to Lan Ke.

On the contrary, after hearing Lu Shilang's words, Jin Yantang couldn't help but slow down the majesty on his face, looked at him slowly and said, "Your wish is only to see Miss Lan?"

Lu Zirui nodded, and took out a blueprint from his pocket: "This is the blueprint I brought back from Jiangnan. I want to study it with the empress."

After going out for a few months, Lu Zirui stuttered again.

He likes to study blueprints and draw pictures, and he is very talented in architecture. Jin Yantang also knew that he liked to make pictures with Shang Kelan when he was in Shuzhou. Therefore, Jin Yantang did not refuse, but nodded in response: "Then Well, autumn hunting tomorrow, if you go hunting with me in the paddock, you can meet Miss Lan."

Hearing this, Lu Zirui laughed, put away the drawings, and then stood quietly without speaking.

Jin Yantang waved to them: "My dear friends, go back to the mansion for dinner first, and I will take care of the rest by myself."

"Yes, I retire."

Shang Kelin and Chen Shilang retreated, and Lu Zirui followed behind them.

After watching them leave, the expression on Jin Yantang's face gradually returned to indifference.

"Come on, go and call Yuchi from Changqin Palace."

Suddenly, he gave orders to the people outside in a deep voice, and the servant outside responded and hurriedly retreated.

After the last palace banquet, Jin Yantang also left Yuchi in the palace and did not let him leave, and Yuchi himself had no objection, instead he often went to see Jin Qilan to teach him martial arts during the days he stayed in the palace.

For a while, Jin Yantang was the only one left in the huge imperial study room, and he rubbed the center of his brows tiredly, but at this moment, a palace maid came in with a food box, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Zhi Zhi Aunt Zi sent someone to bring food over, saying that it was the empress's intention."

"Bring it up."

Hearing this, the palace maid lowered her head and presented the food to Jin Yantang one by one.

These foods are Jin Yantang's favorite food, and they are still steaming. The warm feeling immediately dispelled the tired look on Jin Yantang's brows, and there was a flash of warmth in his eyes, and he took the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat lightly.

On the side, Jin Yantang's personal servant couldn't help persuading him: "Your Majesty, let the slave test the poison first..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Yantang suddenly paused, and gave him a look with unclear meaning: "You also want to eat the meal prepared by the queen?"

"Yes, the slave overstepped, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The corner of the waiter's mouth twitched, and he took two steps back consciously, not disturbing Jin Yantang's meal anymore.

At this time, the palace maid took two steps back, bowed her head respectfully and said: "Your Majesty take it slow, this maidservant will leave first."

Jin Yantang took a sip of the hot lotus root soup. Hearing this, he hummed lightly and turned his attention away from the maid.

A while later, in a palace far away from the imperial study room, the maid who brought Jin Yantang food just now quietly pushed the door and walked in. After carefully looking at the road behind, she closed the door safely when she saw no one was following her, and walked into the yard go.

In the courtyard, a man in red with disheveled hair stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a charming voice, "Is the matter settled?"

The palace maid trembled slightly, lowered her head in fear, and stammered a little: "It's done... It's done, the maidservant followed what you said, put... put the contents of the brocade box into the lotus root soup, I watched His Majesty drink it with my own eyes, Your Highness, when will you give me the antidote for this servant?"

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, the man in red shook his head with a smile, then turned to look at her, and said with a half-smile: "Can you keep this secret for the hall?"

"Can... can!"

The palace maid quickly nodded, expressing that she could keep the secret, and hoped that Wei Jin would give her the antidote quickly.

But Wei Jin's eyes flickered for a moment, and he slowly approached her. An intoxicating fragrance came from him, and the maid's face turned red, and she lowered her head involuntarily.

Wei Jin's hand slowly stroked her neck, and said slowly: "Then thank you, remember to go to Lord Yan's place, don't tell me about it!"

"Uh!"

Suddenly, the slender neck was suddenly retracted in Wei Jin's hands, the strength made the palace maid's eyes widen in pain.

But before she could yell out completely, she heard a "click", and the maid's body softened, and she fell to the ground as Wei Jin let go.

After taking out a brocade handkerchief from his bosom to wipe his hands, Wei Jin glanced at the maidservant on the ground in disgust: "Women are really deceitful and selfish. They don't hesitate to sacrifice their master's life just to keep themselves alive. So, It is really a correct choice for this hall not to trust anyone, at least there is no need to worry about anyone's betrayal."

He said, throwing Jinpa in her face, and then walked away from here.
