Li Jing was a little confused.
It was possible that Sun Lang would repeat his old trick and wait for the rabbit at the Governor's office. In order to prevent such a situation from happening, he could either not go, bring more armored soldiers, or devise a plan. These were all good ways to deal with it.
I understand all these principles, so why did he bring my wife along?
'Why? Chu Chen's martial arts aren't the best. Furthermore, there are so many capable people in the Heavenly Policy Mansion. Why did he choose my wife?'
Li Jing felt that something wasn't quite right.
Hou Junji had already seen through everything and almost laughed out loud.
Too bad, His Highness is truly too bad.
And … he was looking forward to it a little.
Damn it, this fellow Li Jing is usually so arrogant, always showing off in front of this daddy. How is it? Are you stupid now?
Are you stupid now?
Something even more stupid will happen in a little while.
Old Hou had deduced Sun Lang's frightening abilities and understood His Highness Empress's intentions. He wanted to use Hong Fung as a shield. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Hou Junji had never gotten along with Li Jing, so he naturally wanted to watch the show in silence. He glanced at Sir Li and inwardly painted his hat green.
In his confusion, Li Jing suddenly sensed something. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hou Junji looking at him strangely. That expression was so sneaky and suspicious.
His heart trembled.
This fellow Hou Junji … there really was something wrong with him. He had no injuries and didn't seem to have been beaten. It was already suspicious enough that Sun Lang had let him off so easily, and he had even dawdled for a while before returning.
This won't do. I have to find a time to privately ask the soldiers present.
If there really is a problem, I'll have to speak with His Highness …
The loyal Sir Li had not forgotten his duty, but he was still rather concerned.
So, why did he bring my wife along?
It's a little strange …
Facing Li Jing's surprised gaze, Empress's heart trembled slightly. Just now, he spoke too fast, but now, he couldn't take it back. He could only beat Li Jing at his own game … But if that was the case, it was a good idea.
While thinking of a way to deal with Sun Lang, she forced herself to explain, "Ke Nan was threatened and threatened by Sun Lang at the Copper Sparrow Terrace today. When I pay a visit, we will definitely talk about this matter. This matter concerns a girl's innocence. Do you men want to listen by the side?"
"If we wait outside, there will be no one to protect us. Sister-in-law Chu Chen is a woman and is very understanding. Not only can she protect us, she can also help persuade Miss Ke …"
Although Li Jing still felt strange in his heart, he reluctantly accepted this explanation. "In that case, I will send someone to call my wife over …"
Empress nodded happily. Then, he waved his hand and ordered the maid, "Pass down the order. Gather all my personal maids and martial arts attendants. Put on light armor and bring weapons. They will serve as my personal guards."
Yes, Sun Lang, there was still such a way to deal with you.
Not long after, the capital government received the news. Bao Xiren frowned and said, "General Tensei?"
Logically speaking, Bao Heizi didn't like Sun Lang's lack of organization and discipline. He also had a bad impression of Empress. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could see what role Empress played in the battle of Dahuang Mountain.
But after all, although he could see it, he didn't have any evidence. Therefore, other than the occasional sarcastic words in the morning court, Bao Heizi couldn't do anything to Empress. But in private, he despised and despised him.
Now that Empress suddenly came to pay a visit, Bao Heizi was immediately on guard.
"She doesn't come with good intentions."
He said to Ke Nan, "Senior Sister, you don't have to see him. I'll reject him for you. Although Sun Lang isn't a good person, Empress isn't that strong either. Don't worry, this is the capital government. I'm not a big or small person. I'm also one of the three assistants in the imperial court. As long as I have a clear conscience, I don't have to be afraid of anyone."
Ke Nan smiled and said, "I heard that you've been in charge of the capital government all these years. The officials don't dare to bully you. At first, I didn't believe it. Would Junior Brother Bao, who is only smart when solving cases but usually silly, have the authority of an official?
Now that I look at him, it really does seem like it. "
Bao Xiren smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Sister, don't make fun of me … Should I reject him?"
"Why should you reject him?"
Ke Nan stood up and said with a smile, "Empress isn't here to denounce him. After all, she's a general of the imperial court and a politician through and through. She knows that gains and losses should be above personal preferences. Now, Sun Lang is her biggest threat, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend. So, she's here to seek information and even … cooperation."
Bao Xiren frowned and said, "Cooperation?"
"It's not quite appropriate to call it cooperation. After all, she's that kind of person …" Ke Nan smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, she's here to take advantage of the situation."
The little girl's smile disappeared. Her eyes were sparkling, and a serious and steady look that didn't match her appearance appeared on her beautiful, white and tender face. "Junior Brother, the day when the four famous detectives work together again is not far away."
In the back hall of the capital office, the former star detective of the capital police's Major Crimes Investigation Unit was having a meeting with a member of the military commission.
When Bao Xiren led Empress into the room, Ke Nan, who had been waiting there, bit her lips and bowed gracefully. "Your Highness, I'm Ke Nan … I didn't know right from wrong this morning and was used by a villain. I was mistaken as an accomplice and offended a noble. I'm so sorry!"
The approachable Empress Tensei rushed forward and held Ke Nan's small body. "Miss Ke, you don't have to be so polite. I was too impulsive at that time. I didn't investigate the truth and said bad things. I have to apologize to you. Alas, it's all because that bastard is too cunning and bullies people …"
At the mention of this matter, Ke Nan's eyes turned red. She said sadly, "Your Highness, that General of Divine Strategies was too rude. His words were indecent and vulgar. He even had the intention to humiliate me …"
Empress said hatefully, "He who is unjust is doomed to destruction. He will suffer retribution!"
Ke Nan nodded vigorously and cried out, "Your Highness, you have to uphold justice for me!"
The two beauties, one big and one small, hugged each other. The big one had a cold and noble temperament, graceful and graceful, while the small one had a delicate and lovely appearance, innocent and unaffected. When the two beautiful faces hugged each other, it really gave off a breathtaking feeling of national beauty. Even Bao Xiren, who was an upright gentleman who didn't understand romance and didn't like women, shifted his gaze away.
However, what was more subtle was that when the two beauties hugged each other, they were condemning a certain someone for being shameless, vulgar, and bullying women in unison. That appearance, that tone, that tone, and that choice of words, rather than a moral condemnation, it was better to say that they were complaining with resentment.
The more Bao Xiren listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. Then, he understood.
He finally understood why it sounded so familiar.
This was exactly the kind of case that he often handled — a man was rich, and his wife was old, but he didn't dare to divorce her. After all, abandoning his wife was a big crime. However, he still wanted to shoot her, so he secretly had a mistress outside. In the end, the wall was leaked, and the matter was exposed. After a good beating, it was brought to the court. First, it was the wife who complained tearfully. Then, it was the mistress who cried. In the end, it developed to the two women hugging each other and complaining about the heartless man. It made the court very awkward. Damn it, that scene was really amazing.
— — Hey, what are you guys doing?!
Leaving aside the fact that Lord Bao was holding back his words, Her Highness the Empress Concubine listened to Ke Nan's complaints and heard the little loli talk about how Sun Lang threatened her step by step. She sneered in her heart.
— — Continue to make up stories. You don't have any meat on your body. How can Sun Lang like you?
But although she thought so, she still couldn't say it out loud. She could only slowly stroke Ke Nan's soft black hair and feel the youth and vitality contained in that small body. That soft skin, that soft black hair, and that extremely perfect face without any makeup — — As a woman, she couldn't help but feel a little envious. This was an instinct.
But after feeling envious, she realized that she was here to do business today.
Thinking of this, she looked at Bao Xiren. "Lord Bao, can you leave us for a moment?
As a man, I'm afraid it's not convenient for you to listen to these topics, right? "
Bao Hei Zi was startled at first, then he looked at his senior sister. After receiving an affirmative answer, he said, "I was rude. Since that's the case, I'll leave first. I'll wait outside."
Very quickly, all the irrelevant people in the room left, leaving only the Empress Concubine and Ke Nan.
Ke Nan was still sobbing.
Empress was also unconsciously stroking the other's black hair.
A moment later, Empress said faintly, "Can Sun Lang really cure your internal injuries?"
Ke Nan was startled at first, then she continued to sob. "He said he could cure it, but he wanted this humble girl … … to agree to his shameless request … …"
Empress was still hugging Ke Nan, patting her back as if coaxing a child. She looked up at the beam and said indifferently, "So, you agreed?"
Ke Nan said blankly, "I didn't?"
Empress just snorted and didn't expose her. She said to herself, "Sun Lang definitely didn't touch you, right?"
Ke Nan said in surprise, "What?"
"From the moment he saw you, including in the carriage, or in the Copper Sparrow Pavilion, no matter what he said or did, he didn't touch you, didn't touch your hair, didn't rub your head, didn't hug your shoulders, didn't express his love through actions, right?"
Empress said leisurely, "Not only that, he didn't even show any desire to touch you, right?
He didn't have any thoughts, nor did he put them into practice. Do you want to know why? "
"Because he can't touch you, he can't touch women."
"Do you know what this means?"
"Just ordinary contact is not enough, let alone intimate contact, let alone … … cure."
"You don't believe it?
It's okay, the next time you see him, no matter when, no matter the occasion, you can try to touch him. See if he will avoid you. "
She hugged the small body.
When they were together, she could feel the other's breathing, heartbeat, and the tension of the body. This way, she could feel the other's emotional changes.
Empress spoke while monitoring the changes in Ke Nan's body.
"You can try it yourself and see if he's lying to you."
She whispered in Ke Nan's ear, "Tell me, what did he promise you?"
