Work overtime

After his sister left, Jiang Yuebai planned to return to Taorui Palace to deal with the pepper in the house.

Before she took a few steps, she saw a young eunuch carrying a sedan walking towards her.

"Good luck to you, Mr. Fugui. Your Majesty invites you to come to the Qinzheng Hall to accompany you."

Jiang Yuebai was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal immediately.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Jiang Yuebai closed her eyes and rested.

Have you become the assistant to the chairman?Serving him day and night.

When they arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, Li Beichen was wearing an off-white training suit embroidered with golden dragon patterns and was boxing in the yard.

The figure is strong and strong, fierce and fierce. At first glance, it seems that it is not a fancy fist but a killing move, but it is as graceful as flowing clouds and flowing water.

The lines on his face were now as hard and cold as a sculpture, and the corners of his mouth were a bit sharp and sarcastic.

The moment he saw this scene, Jiang Yuebai couldn't help but hold his breath and stood there steadily.

Different from others who wear white clothes, such as Li Beihong who is a gentle gentleman and Han Ziqian who is lonely and distant, when Li Beichen wears white clothes, he has a majestic and fearless aura like a god of war.

That is not the quiet snowflake that has passed through the years.Instead, it was a blizzard blown by the howling north wind on the vast land.

Jiang Yuebai thought that the late emperor probably had such a momentum on the battlefield, and his charisma was stirring people's hearts when he walked.

Li Beichen completed the set, stood still, and asked softly, "You're here. Did you sleep well?"

The stern eyebrows melted like spring water, with a faint smile.

Jiang Yuebai did not forget his dignity just because the leader was close to him. He still bowed according to the rules and then respectfully replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I slept well last night."

The red cloud that appeared on the face before has not dissipated yet, it is a thin layer, with a bit of shyness.

When she mentioned last night, she couldn't help but think of the embarrassing scene between the two of them under the pepper attack last night. She forced herself to be calm, but she still couldn't hold back the smile, hiding it between her eyebrows.

This smile instantly softened Li Beichen's heart.

He stared at Jiang Yuebai motionlessly, wanting to keep this moment.

Thinking of Jiang Yuebai's sleep talk last night, some pain surged through her heart.

"Come, let me see you dance with the sword," Li Beichen turned to the little eunuch beside him and said, "Bring the sword."

The little eunuch hunched over and walked up to the two men holding a sword.

Li Beichen raised his index finger, and the little eunuch stood aside.

The scabbard is carved with exquisite ancient patterns, and the handle is inlaid with a red transparent gemstone, which is extremely exquisite and luxurious.

She never had the chance to go to a museum in her previous life.So I don’t know much about swords in history.But after just one glance, I fell in love with this sword.

She has no particular love for anything in this world.At this time, this sword made her heart surge with excitement and admiration.

This is probably how a man feels when he touches his favorite luxury car.

Jiang Yuebai slowly stroked the patterns on it, feeling the soul of the sword like stroking the skin of a lover.

Pick up the sword and pull it out from the scabbard, the cold light shining.

After picking up the sword, her whole person changed.

With a sword drawn out, he raised his right foot and started dancing with the sword involuntarily.She was no longer herself, but merged with the sword.

The light green clothes are fluttering, and the remaining light of the sword shadow is like a wisp of breeze in the mountains on a summer morning, wanton and unrestrained.

When the wind blew up, the petals of the remaining flowers flew by, flew onto the sword and were split into two halves. They landed on top of her head and were blown down by the wind.

At this time, there are no wealthy and noble people in the harem, only female knights who enjoy grudges, and only immortals from outside the world.

Years from now, Li Beichen will remember this scene today, a moment that shocked and fascinated him.

Years later, this scene is still as clear as yesterday.

Li Beichen held the scabbard in his hand and looked at Jiang Yuebai's figure quietly.

After Jiang Yuebai finished her sword dance, her head was covered with beads of sweat.She walked towards Li Beichen quickly with her sword in hand, a cheerful smile on her face.

Li Beichen reached out and handed over the scabbard, and Jiang Yuebai sheathed the sword in one go.

"My concubine has made the emperor laugh. She's not wearing any training clothes, so she can't perform some exercises." Jiang Yuebai said with some embarrassment. "When the enemy comes to kill, they won't wait for us to change our clothes," Li Beichen instantly became serious and cold, "Your swordsmanship is enough for self-protection, but if you want to kill someone, you need some fighting skills and you have to be more ruthless. Swift and fierce. When you are fighting to the death, you must not be the least bit soft-hearted."

After the words fell, the two of them looked at the spot where he stabbed his left arm last night, and couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Yuebai was by no means soft-hearted towards his enemies.

Li Beichen thought of the night of the Jin King's wedding. After Eunuch Liu came back, he speculated that Jiang Yuebai might have killed someone for the first time. He had no experience in fighting the enemy and relied on his courage to go on a rampage, hacking and stabbing.

He couldn't help but sigh, "What you lack is the killing skills, not the swordsmanship itself."

But it doesn't matter, I will teach you later.

"How could I have imagined that the palace would be so dangerous?" Jiang Yuebai said with a hint of sarcasm.

Li Beichen chuckled and asked, "Are you scared?"

Jiang Yuebai pouted and said nothing.

Li Beichen came close to Jiang Yuebai's eyes. They could smell each other's breath and asked again, "Are you scared?"

Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes and said, "Afraid."

Li Beichen laughed and slowly stepped back to take some time to rest. "From today on, you will stay in the Yangxin Hall at night."

He coughed slightly, looked to the side, and said with an unnatural expression, "Stay by my side and protect my safety."

"But..." Jiang Yuebai blurted out eagerly.

Your Majesty, don’t you have a mission every night? Don’t you have to turn over the signs and sow seeds?
What does it mean to let me live in Yangxin Palace?

Do you want me to ensure your safety at that time every night?Do you want to watch live broadcasts every night from now on?
But in an instant, I realized that I was a woman, and it was just right for me to be a royal guard!
If you have martial arts skills, you will not be stimulated to have an affair with a concubine or cuckold the emperor.

Just then, a young eunuch came over and seemed to have something to report. Li Beichen glanced at the door, held Jiang Yuebai's hand, and said in a deep voice:

"You go to the side hall to bathe and change clothes first, and then have lunch with me at noon."

He turned around and told the young eunuch, "Wait for me to change my clothes."

Jiang Yuebai lowered his head and rubbed the lines on the sword hilt without questioning, with a faint smile on his face.

The emperor asked her to stay close at night to keep him safe, so she just had to do it.Anyway, if you work in the palace, you can do it anywhere.You don’t have to rely on your body, you can make a living with your strength, it’s worth it~
The smile on Jiang Yuebai's face was noticed by Li Beichen.

He thought Jiang Yuebai liked the sword he gave her very much, and thought Jiang Yuebai was happy to be able to stay by his side every night from now on.

He looks awkward just because he is arrogant and reserved.

The Sixth Prince, Murong Chi, Chen Ning, Yang Wanli and Huang Shaoan from Dali Temple, Zhou Shipeng and Chang Yian from the Inspectorate were already waiting outside the Qinzheng Hall, waiting to be summoned.

Li Beichen first summoned Zhou Shipeng and Chang Yian from the Inspectorate.

The time limit for corrupt officials to surrender has passed two days, and it has come to an end.What we have to deal with now are those who are taking chances and refuse to hand over the corrupt money.

Based on the personal statements and reports of those who surrendered, Zhou Shipeng and Chang Yian compiled a list of those who did not surrender today and handed it to the emperor.

This list was made in triplicate, each person holding one copy, with their two names signed and their fingerprints pressed on it.

It is equivalent to handing in a certificate of investment.

They knew that if a big wave happened later and caused instability in the court, the emperor would sacrifice the two of them as scapegoats to appease the officials' grievances.

After the emperor got the long list, he frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

This means that there is almost no honest official in the entire capital.

Needless to say, Prime Minister Chen and Prime Minister Meng were the first to take the lead in surrendering.Almost all the people in the dynasty were their followers, and officials protected each other, so naturally they all participated in the blending of interests.

What about the grassroots?

I'm afraid it's more serious than the capital city, right?

Li Beichen raised his eyes and glanced at the two people in front of him.

Chang Yi'an bowed his waist and was respectful, but in fact he felt weak and nervous.Although Zhou Shipeng was also hunched over, his back was straight and he looked dignified.

His eyes fell on a name on the list: Wei Wang Li Beiwang.
