The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 640: Knot and Help

Luo Youjiang and Jiang Dao were dealing with the closure of the three-place fire. The more they dealt with it, the more they felt that those ruffians had violated the law in a timely manner.

The case happened a long time ago. If it is delayed any further, the case will not be closed. Not only will the chief judge Luo Youjiang be scolded by Emperor Zong, but also the subordinates like Jiang Dao will be held responsible.

Two days later, the result was delivered to the emperor by Luo Youjiang himself.

Emperor Zong only took a glance and said, "Is it married?"

"It's over." Luo Youjiang answered calmly.

"Anything else?" Emperor Zong picked up Luo Youjiang's case closing report.

Luo Youjiang bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."

After walking out of the palace gate, Luo Youjiang relaxed his tense shoulders. Other officials passing by congratulated him openly or secretly.

What to congratulate? Those who understand will do so naturally, while those who don’t understand will find it useless to say more.

After returning to the Dali Temple, Luo Youjiang had not even sat down in his office chair when he saw Jiang Dao personally leading Lu Sen into his office.

"Lord Luo." Lu Sen smiled and bowed first.

Luo Youjiang raised his head: "Lord Lu?"

He was slightly surprised, and then looked at Jiang Dao who brought the person here.

Jiang Dao came forward and explained, "Lord Lu came to talk to you about the case that was just concluded."

"Oh." Luo Youjiang thought that this was the only official business that he and Lu Sen were currently involved in. He stood up and walked to Lu Sen, "I wonder if Lord Lu has any advice? Do you have any questions about the closed case?"

"No instructions, no questions." Lu Sen came here not for official business, but for personal matters. "I came here because I wanted to take advantage of the fact that Lord Luo's case has been closed and he should not be too busy at the moment, so I thought of asking Lord Luo to do me a favor."

Jiang Dao was even curious about what he said: "What help?"

Luo Youjiang looked at Lu Sen, and wanted to know what else he could do to help the younger brother of the Empress in private matters besides official duties: "Sit down and talk."

Then, the three of them sat down.

They sat on both sides, Luo Youjiang and Jiang Dao on one side, and Lu Sen alone on the other.

"As you two gentlemen know, my younger brother is sixteen years old this year. It's not good for him to be idle all day long, so he wants to find a job." Lu Sen knew Luo Youjiang quite well and knew that Luo Youjiang didn't like to beat around the bush. Now that they sat down to talk, he just spoke frankly.

Luo Youjiang and Jiang Dao were both veteran officials. After hearing what Lu Sen said, they looked at each other and turned their heads.

They were all silently thinking about which place in the Dali Temple was short of people.

Lu Sen was not in a hurry. He just sat down, picked up the freshly brewed hot tea, and sipped it bit by bit.

East Palace, noon.

As soon as Li Shou entered the front hall, Ji Kuan came up to him and said, "Your Highness, the case is closed."

"This morning I saw Luo Siqing enter the imperial study. I think he presented the case to me alone." Li Shou said as he entered the palace. "Afterwards I went to see my father, but he didn't see me. Later, when I was in Wenhua Palace, my father asked Chief Steward Gan to bring me the case-closing memorial presented by Luo Siqing, so that I could take a look at it and decide whether to close the case or not."

Ji Kuan was not in Wenhua Palace this morning. He was away at the same time that Gan was ordered to go to Wenhua Palace. He was unaware of this incident and was surprised when he heard it. "Your Majesty wants you to decide whether those thugs arrested by Luo Siqing are the real culprits of the three fires?"

"That's exactly what I meant." Li Shou sat down behind the prince's desk. He raised his hand and rubbed his brows, looking exhausted. Chang Qing looked distressed: "Your Highness, why don't you take a nap first? You didn't get much sleep last night, so it's good to take a nap now."

Ji Kuan had also noticed Li Shou's sleepiness a long time ago, but as the crown prince, it was not an exaggeration to say that Li Shou had only seen a few days when he was not tired in all the years he had been with His Highness.

However, at this moment, he wanted to say nothing to persuade her.

Your Highness is the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and the Heir to the Wei Dynasty. There are so many things that need to be done, and no one knows it better than those around him.

Apart from the occasional persuasion like Chang Qing, they also try to find more things to make His Highness happy.

The thing that makes His Highness happiest these days is when He sees Miss Meng. However, since they are separated by the palace, His Highness and Miss Meng cannot meet often. Even when he wants to meet them, he probably has many concerns.

Especially at this critical juncture.

His Highness was afraid that danger would implicate Miss Meng, so even though he wanted to see Miss Meng very much, he would control himself and not take any action.

After all, it happened that Miss Meng went to Qingbei Mountain some time ago, Chi Nan caught up with her, and His Highness followed closely behind. As a result, Miss Meng and His Highness were safe, but Chi Nan disappeared and was poisoned halfway, and had a near-death experience.

Your Highness does not want to see such a dangerous thing again.

He didn't want to see it again.

No one wants such dangerous incidents to happen again.

Now is a critical moment for many things. I don't think His Highness will listen to Chang Qing's advice and catch up on his sleep.

As expected, Li Shou then shook his head: "No need. Has Chi Nan sent any news?"

Ji Kuan replied, "Not yet. Your Highness doesn't need to worry. Chi Nan is accompanied by our East Palace guards, and the leader is Bai Zhuo. Bai Zhuo is very reliable. If anything happens on the way, no matter good or bad, even if Chi Nan doesn't write to him, Bai Zhuo will. Now that there is no news, then it will be a safe journey."

He knows his subordinates very well.

Li Shou nodded: "That's good."

When it comes to safety, he trusts Fu Feng very much. Since Fu Feng is so confident, Chi Nan should be fine.

"Is Yaoyao still investigating the collapse of Dengshan?" After a pause, Li Shou took the millet porridge handed over by Chang Qing and asked while eating.

"Why is Your Highness still only eating millet porridge?" Ji Kuan wanted to say more, but was stopped by Li Shou's raised hand.

"My appetite has not been very good recently. Millet porridge is perfect for me." Li Shou has had a poor appetite since he recovered from a cold. He doesn't eat much and only eats millet porridge.

It seems like he was just trying to survive and feed two people.

Seeing Chang Qing beside him complaining about it three times a day, Qing Zhu also followed behind Chang Qing like a little tail to persuade him, now even Fu Feng couldn't stand him eating millet porridge.

After interrupting Ji Kuan's advice, he looked up and added, "Don't be like Chang Qing, it's annoying."

Chang Qing's face wrinkled with grievance when he heard this.

Chang Zhu, who was standing a little further away, almost laughed out loud when he heard it, but luckily he held it back in time.

"Yes." Ji Kuan agreed reluctantly, thinking that Chi Nan was not here, and some things Chi Nan could not pass on, so he had to pass on the message. After thinking it over in his heart, he replied, "Miss Meng is still investigating, let Chi Nan's people, Gao Jin, investigate."
