kingly way

Chapter 174 Chapter 174

Yongle Palace.

Jin Yuanhong slowly walked into Yu Wenwan's bedroom.

"Wan'er, are you feeling better today?"

Jin Yuanhong asked softly.

"Kings……"

Seeing Jin Yuanhong, Yu Wenwan struggled to get up and salute.

"Wan'er has just recovered from illness, so there is no need to be polite."

Jin Yuanhong hurried over and supported Yu Wenwan.

"Thank you, my lord, I never thought that Yongxue would do such a rebellious thing. She was recommended by my concubine, and I hope that my lord will punish me." Yu Wenwan said with a sad expression.

"Hey, how does Wan'er say that? Yongxue is Yongxue, why would the widow blame Wan'er for Yongxue's problem?"

Jin Yuanhong smiled.

"Concubine, thank you, Your Majesty." Yu Wenwan said with a smile.

"Wan'er needs to take good care of her wounds, and I will wait for Wan'er's injuries to improve before discussing major issues." Jin Yuanhong put his arm around Yu Wenwan's shoulders after speaking.

"The wound is a trivial matter, but it's only psychological that is difficult to heal. Yongxue has always been the pain in my concubine's heart. Cough! When my concubine saw the sword at the time, she saw that the sword was shining brightly, and the whole sword was full of evil spirits. Your Majesty, Why is that sword so frightening?" Yu Wenwan asked.

"That sword is called the Turtle Pattern Sword. It is a very evil sword, but I don't know where the Yongxue Sword came from?" Jin Yuanhong frowned.

"The turtle-pattern sword, my concubine once heard from my father that it is a very evil sword. I heard that this sword is against the law and order. Holding this sword is for ministers to kill the emperor, and for sons to kill the father. It is considered ominous." Your Majesty, there have been a lot of things going on recently, and when your concubine is not by your side, your Majesty should be more careful about himself." Yu Wenwan said in horror.

"Hmm..." Jin Yuanhong nodded.

"At that time, my concubine only thought that Yongxue's back pinching skills were very good. Although she was a concubine and maidservant, this concubine treated her as a sister, so she recommended her to the king. Unexpectedly, she knew people, knew her face, but didn't know her heart." , she is so vicious. Cough, it's all because of my concubine's bad eyesight." Yu Wenwan said sadly.

"Wan'er, don't be sad, you treat me like this, I don't know why." Jin Yuanhong comforted Yu Wenwan.

"My concubine later felt that Yongxue should die. Your Majesty, Xu Kingdom is now in need of revitalization. As Xu Guoyu, Yongxue doesn't help the king, and she doesn't restrain herself from having fun. If things go on like this, it will end up being harmed." Useless." Yu Wenwan said.

Jin Yuanhong nodded and said nothing.

……

One month later,
The Reception Hall of Yongle Palace.

Yu Wenwan was standing in the middle of the hall, while Xiao Yin Linruan, who was in charge of daily affairs, stood aside.

"Lord Lin, don't be restrained, please sit down."

Yu Wenwan glanced at the reserved Lin Ruran, and said with a slight smile.

"Mrs. Xie."

Lin Ruran saluted and sat in the bottom seat.

"Master Lin, please drink tea." Yu Wenwan smiled at Lin Ruran.

Lin Ruran looked at the tea and hesitated for a moment.

"Master Lin, is the tea poisonous?" Yu Wenwan smiled slightly.

"Oh... no... no, I didn't like tea since I was a child."

Lin Ruran was taken aback for a moment, then said immediately.

"Lord Lin, you have to drink if you like it, and you have to drink it if you don't like it; if Master Lin doesn't drink it, I'll ask the maid to make a few more cups for your parents, wife and children to drink."

Yu Wenwan's expression suddenly changed.

"Madam, please forgive me." Lin Ruran immediately knelt on the ground.

"Just a cup of tea, if you don't drink it, how can I spare your life?" Yu Wenwan smiled coldly.

"I drink, ma'am, please spare my parents, wife and children, they are innocent."

Lin Ruran drank the tea in one gulp.

He closed his eyes, waiting for the onset of the poison.After a while, he was still unharmed.

"Ma'am, this?"

Lin Ruran didn't understand the question.

"Lord Lin is inevitably too careful. Even if Lord Lin was to be poisoned to death, I would not choose to stay in my palace. If Lord Lin had any accidents in Yongle Palace, how would I report to the king and the people outside?" Baiguan explained, what's more, Lord Lin also helped me a great favor, not only without fault but meritorious service." Yu Wenwan said with a smile.

"Ma'am misunderstood, I am flattered to receive such treatment."

So it turned out that Lin Ruran had a false alarm, and Yu Wenwan's words dispelled his doubts, but he blamed himself for being careless: this Mrs. Yu is really not easy to mess with, people can't understand her heart.

Lin Ruran was originally a servant doing chores, but was appreciated by Yu Wenwan, and was gradually mentioned to Xiao Yin.

The tortoise pattern sword was given to him by Yu Wenwan, and Yu Wenwan arranged for him to send the sword. Later, he knew that Mrs. Yu was injured by the sword he sent, and he waited for the news to pass and things calmed down before he dared to come to see Yu Wenwan.

Yongxue was dead, Lin Ruran was really worried that Yu Wenwan would kill people to silence her, but after hearing Yu Wenwan's words, he was relieved...

"You have done a very good job on this matter. As long as you listen to what I say and do things for me, your benefits will be indispensable to me. If you leak the word, what will be the consequences? I don't need to talk about it!"

Yu Wenwan smiled slightly.

Lin Ruran was very afraid of Yu Wenwan's smile, because it was difficult for him to capture her emotions from Yu Wenwan's smile, let alone what was on her mind?Is it a blessing or a curse?
"I must not forget Madam's training, and swear allegiance to Madam to the death."

Lin Ruran saluted Yu Wenwan while talking.

Yu Wenwan nodded, still looking at Lin Ruran with a smile.

……

It is still Yongle Palace, but the characters are different.

Han Guanpeng paid homage to Yu Wenwan.

"Lord Han, you have made a lot of contributions recently. This Palace has already recommended you to the king for the post of Muzheng. From now on, Lord Han can represent the king to collect tribute from various political districts. I hope that Lord Han can do his best to the king. Congratulations again."

Yu Wenwan said to Han Guanpeng.

"Thank you Madam for your kindness in cultivation, I will do my best to serve the king with all my heart."

Han Guanpeng happily saluted Yu Wenwan.

"As long as Mr. Han listens to me and works hard, the future will be bright."

Yu Wenwan waved her hand, signaling Han Guanpeng to excuse herself.

"I must remember my wife's instructions."

Han Guanpeng saluted again.

"Well, go back and wait for the good news!" Yu Wenwan said with a smile.

"Ma'am, the minister is leaving."

Han Guanpeng saluted Yu Wenwan again, and walked out of Yongle Palace excitedly.

……

the next day,
Guo Jiande came to Yongle Palace in a hurry, and after the servant girl reported that he had entered, he entered Yongle Palace to the reception hall.

"The minister, Guo Jiande, kowtowed to his wife."

Guo Jiande saluted Yu Wenwan.

"Master Guo is exempt."

Yu Wenwan waved her hand and said.

"Ma'am, why is Xuan Chen here today?"

Guo Jiande asked.

"My lord Xuan Guo's coming here is naturally a good thing."

Yu Wenwan smiled and continued.

"The day before yesterday, Master Han and Master Guo made great contributions in escorting you, and the king rewarded you very much. I, Master Xuan Guo, came here to tell you the good news."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Madam, for supporting me. This is my job, and I dare not take credit for it."

Although Guo Jiande said so, he knew very well in his heart: Mrs. Yu deliberately confessed to kill Yongxue, and it still required a fatal blow. For a deputy commander to kill a maid who doesn't know martial arts, it is an easy task. Unexpectedly, it made a great contribution.

"Master Guo, I have already recommended Master Han to the king for the position of Muzheng, and Lord Han's position as the commander belongs to Lord Guo. I hope Lord Guo can do his best to the king and make more contributions."

Yu Wenwan smiled and said to Guo Jiande.

"I thank Madam for your kindness in nurturing me. I will do my best to serve the king and swear to protect the safety of the king and his wife."

Full of joy, Guo Jiande bowed to Yu Wenwan.

He, the deputy commander, had been looking forward to becoming a full-time official, but he never expected it to be so easy: he just obeyed Madam Yu's secret order, in the name of protecting Yu Fu, and killed a non-martial Yu with a single sword.

"As long as Mr. Guo listens to my advice and works hard, the future will be boundless."

Yu Wenwan said.

"I must remember my wife's instructions, and swear to be loyal to the king and my wife to the death."

Guo Jiande saluted Yu Wenwan again.

"Master Guo, what did I order you to do to Yongxue last time?" Yu Wenwan asked;

"Mrs. Hui, you didn't order me to do anything." Guo Jiande said seriously.

"Didn't tell Mr. Guo to do anything? Then how did Yongxue die?"

Yu Wenwan was not surprised and asked slowly.

"My lady, Yongxue brought the tortoise-patterned sword into the palace privately, intending to plot against the king. Madam Yu discovered the clue, and wanted to stop Yongxue from committing an attack, but was injured by Yongxue. The minister took the dagger from Yongxue's hand because of his escort. Stab Yongxue to death," Guo Jiande said.

"Well, Mr. Guo deserves a reward for his meritorious service in escorting." Yu Wenwan nodded and said with a smile.

"Thank you Madam." Guo Jiande once again saluted Yu Wenwan and thanked him.

"Master Guo, you are not only strong in martial arts, but also smart. As long as you follow my example, you will have a bright future."

Yu Wenwan said with a smile...
