Chapter 324 I have something important to present to Your Majesty
The physical pleasure overwhelmed everything else, Cheng Xia belatedly discovered that there was another jade pendant around her neck, the one with burn marks.

Shao Chen pulled off the quilt and covered Cheng Xia tightly, "Put this jade pendant on again today, and you are not allowed to take it off again in the future."

Cheng Xia curled her lips, "That's not necessarily the case, if you do something again one day, I'll throw the jade pendant on your face."

Shao Chen hugged Cheng Xia tightly, "There will be no next time, and there will never be another time." One time will kill him.

"By the way," Cheng Xia turned sideways, but accidentally pulled her lower body, she couldn't help grinning, she glared at Shao Chen, really, so rude, have you never seen a woman in eight lifetimes?
Shao Chen looked at the twisted face with a smile, just pretending not to see it, "What do you want to ask?"

Cheng Xia suppressed the urge to beat his handsome face into a pig's head, gritted his teeth and said, "When will you go to war tomorrow?"

Every word of Cheng Xia seemed to be squeezed out between the teeth, and it sounded like there was hatred for killing the other party. Shao Chen pinched her face amusedly, "Yin Mo Mao Chu, Your Majesty will review the generals in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and set off at exactly the right time."

At the end of Yin and at the beginning of Mao?Five in the morning, so early?Cheng Xia thought for a while, and then said, "I asked Lihua to light some incense for Wang Yue. He will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow, and the delay of the military plane is certain. There are no generals. At that time, you, as the deputy general, will probably take Wang Yue's place. Or His Majesty temporarily selects one of the other generals." Cheng Xia knew that Shao Chen was the most likely to be on the top, after all, it happened suddenly, and it was impossible for other unprepared people to suddenly mount the horse, but Zhu Youtang could not be guaranteed. Will he be mad at that time and react in some way?

Shao Chen nodded, he caressed Cheng Xia's cheek, "I will leave tomorrow, and I will leave everything here to you, but I am worried."

"It's okay," Cheng Xia smiled, pointing to another jade pendant on her chest, "You forgot, this is the amulet given to me by Princess Yongqing, I have it to be invincible. I told you about the plan, and you also acquiesced, You already knew that there was no danger, so don't worry, when I get rid of Wang Yue tomorrow, I will wait for your triumphant return at home with peace of mind."

Shao Chen suddenly turned over again, Cheng Xia was stunned, and quickly pushed him away, "Don't worry about it, even if you sleep now, you can sleep for two hours at most, why don't you hurry up and rest."

"Anyway, time is limited, so it's better to do something more meaningful."

All the words he wanted to say were submerged between the blending of lips and teeth, leaving only small moans.

When Shao Chen got up, Cheng Xia was still nestled in the quilt and didn't want to move. Shao Chen hadn't slept almost all night, and so did she, yawning couldn't stop her sleepiness.

While putting on his clothes, Shao Chen saw that her head was about to fall down, and he rubbed the top of her hair with some distress, "Go to sleep for a while, the Hall of Supreme Harmony won't finish early, you still have to wait Have time."

"Well, good," Cheng Xia had already yawned and burst into tears, "tell Zi Yuan to call me in an hour, I have serious things to do when I get up."

Shao Chen nodded, kissed her on the forehead, let her fall asleep, then put on his clothes and went out with his sword. The yard was still dark, but the snow had stopped, and there was still something special in the silent night beauty.

When Ziyuan came in to wake Cheng Xia up, it happened to be exactly the right time, the sky was still gray and gray.Cheng Xia didn't stay in bed anymore, she got up and tidied up, then took the two keys Shao Chen gave her and went out.

As soon as he left the gate of Shao Mansion, he found a carriage parked not far away. Seeing her coming, the people on the carriage quickly jumped down, walked up to Cheng Xia and saluted respectfully, "Master Cheng."

Shopkeeper Cheng?Cheng Xia looked at the coachman suspiciously. She didn't know him, and she didn't know his intentions, so she asked directly, "What's the matter?"

"That's right," the coachman quickly replied, "You don't know me. I'm a coachman hired by shopkeeper Yun, and I work in Zuihonglou. Shopkeeper Yun asked me to come over today. He just said that Ms. Yang Lihua Yang invites you to go to Zuihonglou , I have something important to discuss with you."

Lihua?What can she do?Cheng Xia was still in a hurry to enter the palace.

Seeing Cheng Xia's hesitation, the coachman added another sentence, "Miss Lihua said she has something important to do, so she asked me to wait here early in the morning, so I'm afraid I won't be able to pick you up."

Cheng Xia looked at the coachman calmly, then smiled, "Are they still awake? Is Miss Weiyun awake too?"

The coachman smiled honestly, "Miss Weiyun has moved out of Zuihonglou."

Cheng Xia no longer doubted, and jumped into the carriage directly, "Then you should hurry up, I have other things to do."

"Okay," the coachman got into the car and quickly turned around and headed towards Chaoyangmen Inner Street.

Speeding all the way to Zuihonglou, Cheng Xia opened the door and went in, and really saw Dahua and Lihua waiting anxiously in the lobby.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Xia was puzzled.

Lihua cautiously looked left and right, and then took out something from her bosom, "Sister-in-law, after I gave Wang Yue the medicine yesterday, I got this from him in a hurry. At that time, my elder brother went to pick me up, and I was in a panic. I didn’t even notice it, but I found out it was a letter when I got here, Dahua and I can’t read, and the girls here can’t read, and I don’t know if it’s important, so I’ll let you come and have a look.”

Cheng Xia took the letter and took a look. There was nothing on the outside of the envelope, not even a signature. She opened the letter noncommittally, and Cheng Xia's eyes lit up instantly. She grabbed Lihua and hugged her, "What the hell Well done, I just need it. You are waiting for news here, within half a day, Wang Yue will definitely be in prison."

"Sister-in-law."

"Little sister."

Seeing that Cheng Xia turned to leave, Dahua and Yang Lihua held her hand anxiously, and told them worriedly, "Be careful."

"Well," Cheng Xia nodded with a smile to let them relax, but thinking of the driver just now, Cheng Xia still asked, "Why did you send a strange driver to pick me up? I almost thought someone was going to deal with me. Where's the dumb man?"

Lihua smiled and explained embarrassingly, "I originally wanted the dumb man to go, but Dahua said that although it was dark, it would be bad if I ran into people in Wangyue's mansion, so Dahua let the drunk man The coachman went."

Cheng Xia looked at Dahua in relief, "My sister-in-law has improved a lot, okay, you guys go back to sleep, I will go to the palace."

"must be careful."

You can still hear Yin Yin's entrustment until you leave the Zuihonglou.

The driver just now drove fast and steadily, and Cheng Xia directly asked him to take her to the north gate of the Forbidden City, Shenwu Gate.

When we arrived at the Forbidden City, the sky had just been polished, and Cheng Xia entered the palace unimpededly with the token bestowed by His Majesty. The atmosphere in the palace was a bit strange, the maids and eunuchs were hurrying, but they held their breaths. The air did not dare to take a breath.

Cheng Xia went straight to Kunning Palace. The maid serving outside the palace happened to be the little girl who took her to change clothes and groomed her at the Queen's birthday banquet last time. Come up, "Mrs. Shao, why did you enter the palace?" She looked at the sky suspiciously as she said that, it was early in the morning, she didn't look at the sky.

Cheng Xia didn't have time to explain, she just asked, "Is the Queen up yet?"

The little girl sighed, "Your Majesty is angry at the East Nuan Pavilion."

Cheng Xia understood, "Then I'll trouble you to pass it on, and say that I have a way to stop your empress from being angry."

"Really?" The little girl was very pleasantly surprised, and quickly turned around and went in to communicate.

But after a while, the little girl came out to ask Cheng Xia to come in, Cheng Xia hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the East Nuan Pavilion, and really saw that the air pressure inside was lower than outside, it seemed that the queen was quite angry.

Cheng Xia saluted respectfully, then lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty is angry at Wang Yue for delaying the expedition?"

The queen was startled, "How do you know?"

"Return to your mother," Cheng Xia replied straightforwardly, "My mother knows that my husband Shao Chen has stayed in Qingxian Village in Fujian for 16 years, and he was brought up by a nanny. To be honest, Wang Yue is now the most favored aunt. It's my husband's younger sister, who is also the nanny's own daughter. She went to the Shao Mansion early this morning, and she told me that yesterday she found out that Wang Yue had something wrong with her, and she even colluded with Zhao Dezhong, the inspector of the two Zhejiang provinces, and tried to send someone from His Majesty to the battlefield. Half of the grain was taken out for Wang Yue's private use, and then the grain was exchanged into silver, which became Wang Yue's private property. She was worried that this matter would be detrimental to the court, so she hesitated and told me."

"What?" The Queen suddenly jumped up, "Is this true?"

"Your Majesty," Cheng Xia took out the letter that Lihua had just given her, "Your Majesty made an exception and asked Zhao Dezhong to be the magistrate of Chong'an County because Zhao Dezhong saved his life during a private visit. He has transformed himself into a top-ranking four-rank supervisor of Liangzhe who has heavy responsibilities, and even for this expedition, His Majesty specially appointed Wang Yue as the grain transport officer to escort the grain and grass all the way to the Ili battlefield in the northwest."

While the queen was watching, Cheng Xia explained, "But I never thought that Wang Yue and Zhao Dezhong had colluded in private. Wang Yue's letter clearly stated that he thought it was easy to deal with Oirats and Tatars, and it was not worth spending so much food and grass, but He didn't actually state the facts to His Majesty, but instead tried to deduct half of the food and grass to profit from it."

"It's so audacious!" After reading the whole article, the queen's face was already blue and purple, "He even delayed the timing of the expedition today and asked all the generals to wait for him alone. His Majesty sent someone to Wang Yue's mansion, but found that he was asleep Familiar, it is really a heinous crime not to take His Majesty and the world seriously."

Cheng Xia lowered her eyes and thought to herself, then raised her eyes cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you know about the expedition?"

The queen knew what Cheng Xia was going to ask, sighed and sat on the chair and shook her head, "Wang Yue was carried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in a coma. At this moment, His Majesty is furious and reprimanding in front of all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. As for the expedition, your lord Shao Chen Mao recommended himself, and persuaded His Majesty with his own ability, he took the place of Wang Yue, and led the soldiers to the northwest."

Cheng Xia was taken aback, Wang Yue was actually carried to the Hall of Supreme Harmony?Won't it be discovered that he was drugged?

"Your Majesty," Cheng Xia asked cautiously, "What is the reason why Wang Yue is still awake after arriving in the hall?"

The queen sighed, "A minister who is familiar with Wang Yue said that Wang Yue has always had a habit of incense, and he was afraid that he inhaled too much, and he was unconscious due to the combination of drinking. It's just that he delayed the battle. Just be damned."

When Cheng Xia heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then looked up at the queen with firm eyes, "I beg your empress to take me to the Hall of Supreme Harmony. I have something important to do, and I want to show my face to Your Majesty."
