MTL - To Save the Female Supporting Role As My Duty-Chapter 60v2 The Cold-Blooded Female Supporting Woman Who Saved the World of Empresses (11)
Returning to Beijing from the Southern Kingdom would take as little as 15 days and as much as more than a month according to the normal pace. However, Jiang Zhen hurried back to deal with the government affairs and arrived at the palace in only ten days.
"Miss Huang, you are back."
As soon as she entered the palace, her younger sister Jiang Ya greeted her, and asked with concern: "How is it going? Is the trip going well? Are you tired? Do you want to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while?"
"Smooth, not tired." Jiang Zhen answered her question succinctly, and took off her coat while walking to the bedroom, "What's the big deal in the court these days?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the prime minister wanted to retire and return to his hometown, but I temporarily dissuaded him, and I will wait for you to come back to make up your mind." Jiang Ya said.
"En." Jiang Zhen stretched out her hands, and the palace people came over to change her clothes with dragon robes in their hands.
Jiang Ya looked at her adoringly: "Sister Huang still looks best in this dress."
Jiang Zhen hooked the corners of her mouth: "You are the only one with a sweet mouth."
Among the twenty or so sisters and brothers in the royal family, only Jiang Ya is her biological sister. The two have had a good relationship since childhood. Although they have suffered some hardships, life has really improved after she ascended the throne.
Now Jiang Ya is also married to Mrs. Wang, and her children are over two years old, but she still loves to stick with her, act like a baby when she has nothing to do, and say good things, she can be said to be her most important relative now.
"Let me come." Jiang Ya took over the work from the palace maid, straightened her clothes, and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for almost a month, and Miss Huang doesn't seem to miss us at all. Could it be that she is reluctant to leave? Bar."
"how come."
"How about the southern country?" Jiang Ya asked again, "How is the defense?"
"Vulnerable." Jiang Zhen said sharply, but suddenly paused for a moment.
After all, she grew up together, Jiang Ya immediately saw that she was hesitant to speak, and asked, "What? Is there a change?"
Jiang Zhen didn't know if it was a variable, and said: "Although the guards are not strict, Liang Taoning dismissed the harem."
"What?" Jiang Ya's eyes widened in disbelief, "She actually dismissed the harem? What's the reason?"
Jiang Zhen rarely knew how to respond, she couldn't say maybe it was because she liked me, could she?
After thinking for a long time, she said vaguely: "So I'm not sure if this is her deliberate arrangement."
"This is strange. How could she be willing to let go of the people in the harem? Then shall we continue with our plan?"
"Continue." Jiang Zhen said firmly, "There is nothing to worry about in the capital, as long as we beat down that old general of Nanguo, Nanguo will be captured."
"Okay, Sister Huang said yes, then I will definitely do it."
It wasn't long before it was time for dinner, Jiang Zhen left her to eat together, asked about the situation in her house, and then began to eat.
However, the meal was a bit bland.
It's obviously my favorite meal, and my most important family member is sitting opposite me, but I always feel that it's almost meaningless.
"Have you ever eaten yellow noodles from the Southern Kingdom?" Jiang Zhen asked suddenly.
Jiang Ya was stunned for a moment, then said blankly, "What yellow noodles?"
"It's just a kind of noodle cake. You don't need to cook it in a pot. You can eat it directly after soaking it in boiling water for a few minutes." Jiang Zhen explained.
Jiang Ya wondered: "There are such noodles in the southern country?"
"Yes, they also have a kind of soup called Coke, which tastes very strange but very delicious. Have you tried it?" Jiang Zhen asked again.
"No, I've never been to the southern country, so I didn't know there were these things?" Jiang Ya said.
"Yeah, I didn't expect that there are many delicacies in the southern country." Jiang Zhen already missed those two nights in the imperial dining room.
...Wait, what is she doing here? !
Jiang Zhen quickly shook her head.
"Since Miss Huang likes the delicacies of the southern country so much, then attack them as soon as possible. Wouldn't you be free to taste all the delicacies of the southern country?" Jiang Ya laughed.
It was rare for Jiang Zhen not to go along with her this time. Instead, she thought of Song Lingshu, and thought that the coke that the other party said was her own secret recipe. If she wanted to get coke, wouldn't she have to take her as her own?
You can't imprison someone for a lifetime just to let her make coke for yourself, right?
Hmm... It seems that it is not impossible. When the time comes to attack the southern country, she can still spare her life for the sake of Coke, bring people back to the northern country, and squeeze her hard. Treat yourself to good food.
Not bad.
After making up her mind, Jiang Zhen curled the corners of her mouth, and her appetite improved a lot.
"Sister Huang, why are you laughing suddenly?" Jiang Ya asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about an annoying ghost." The corners of Jiang Zhen's mouth curved deeper.
After dinner, Jiang Ya returned to her the memorials that had been approved for her these days, and then left.
Jiang Zhen watched her back, and suddenly remembered the words Song Lingshu whispered in her ear—
Be careful with your real sister.
Beware of what? What is she reminding of?
In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhen went to the old prime minister's mansion secretly, and she went in quietly without anyone noticing.
When the prime minister walked into the study, he was startled when he saw her figure, and then he saluted.
"No need to be too polite, I just came to ask you, do you really want to retire and return home?"
"Yes, I have passed my sixtieth year. It's time to retire and return to my hometown, including Sun Nongyi." The prime minister said.
Jiang Zhen asked again: "During the time I was away, did any other major events happen in the court?"
"No more, this month is peaceful."
After Jiang Zhen left, she went to several other cronies' residences to inquire, and the conclusions were all consistent with what Jiang Ya said.
When she returned to her bedroom, it was really ridiculous to think that she had tossed all night because of Song Lingshu's words.
Jiang Ya is her sister who has been with her for many years, but the other party is a romantic ghost who has been hostile for many years. It goes without saying who should be trusted more.
However, when she went to bed, she actually thought of that annoying ghost again.
She obviously slept on the most comfortable and familiar bed, but she couldn't help recalling the floor bunk she slept in when she was in the South, and no one would dare to let her sleep on the floor bunk.
After returning to the court for more than half a month, Jiang Zhen has been busy dealing with government affairs, and discussing with the Ministry of War the policy of crusade against South Korea, so busy that her toes never touch the ground.
It was rare for her to be free in the evening. She sat in the side hall reviewing the memorials. The hall was silent, but she felt a little lonely.
These usual days actually made her feel a little bored, downright boring.
At this time, the palace man hurried into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from the southern country!"
Jiang Zhen paused and put down her pen: "Nanguo?"
"Yes, it's from the Southern Emperor Liang Taoning."
Jiang Zhen's eyebrows moved slightly, and she said calmly, "Show me up."
The maid at the side dissuaded her, "Your Majesty, this person is full of tricks. I'm afraid the letter is poisoned or hidden. Why don't you let your servants review it for Your Majesty first?"
Jiang Zhen just nodded, but when the maid received the letter, she thought of something and snatched it quickly: "I will see for myself."
"His Majesty......"
Jiang Zhen had already opened the letter. There was no poison in the letter, but it really contained evil intentions. The words "Miss her" were written all over the paper.
——On the first day Zhenzhen left, I missed her; on the second day Zhenzhen left, I missed her; on the third day Zhenzhen left, I still missed her, missed her, missed her, missed her...
Zhenzhen, do you miss me?
"Your Majesty, is there any problem with this letter?" The maid came to her side and asked.
"No." Jiang Zhen hurriedly folded the letter, and continued to review the memorial with a natural expression.
The maid was very curious about what was written in the letter, which made His Majesty's reviewing speed suddenly so fast?
Ten days later, a second letter came from Nanguo.
——Zhenzhen, why didn't you reply?
Do you know how many ups and downs this letter has to go through? First of all, it is a love letter written by me with all my heart and soul. Secondly, it has to go through thousands of kilometers, toss and turn in the hands of more than a dozen postmen, and it has gone through untold hardships before it falls into your hands. It is lucky to arrive safely. .
What's more, I said so much just to tell you that carriages and horses are very slow, and I only love you enough in my life!
The corner of Jiang Zhen's mouth twitched, she opened a box, and put this letter on top of the first one.
The following letters came more frequently, one a day, but they didn't say much, they were all romantic words, but they made people extremely speechless, wondering if her brain had been kicked by a horse.
— Zhenzhen, do you know what is the biggest shortcoming in my life for such a perfect person? It's your fault.
— Guess where my heart is? Not on the right, not on the left, on your side.
- Hearing that His Majesty is good at governing the country, my little girl would like to hear about it for the rest of her life.
—I wandered around in the first half of my life, and I cook soup for you in the second half of my life~
—I was born in the south, lived in the south, and planted in your hands. I have finally been to different places.
Soon the small box was full, and when Jiang Zhen couldn't sleep at night, she would take it out to have a look, and then laugh alone.
"Idiot."
Finally, on the first day of winter, after Jiang Zhen finished eating dumplings, she suddenly wanted to write a letter, but she didn't know what to say when she picked up the pen.
The person who usually writes like a **** can't help but hesitate at this moment. After a long time, she just wrote a simple sentence——
I want to eat yellow noodles and coke.
However, I don't know what happened. After the letter was sent, there was no reply, and the other party didn't send a single letter.
In the past few days, His Majesty has been a little irritable and fierce, it is best not to provoke her, the palace servants who serve her are discussing this in private.
The winter in the north is very cold, and the north wind blows on the face like a sharp knife, cutting people painfully. The common people put on thick clothes early and wrap their bodies tightly.
Jiang Zhen went out of the palace to meet the general. The general had been suffering from cold for the past few days, and the injuries he had suffered in the early years began to recur. She was sympathetic to the minister, so she went to visit the general's mansion for a while, and rewarded some medicines and clothes before preparing to go back home. government.
It was snowing outside, she gathered her cloak, and as soon as she reached the gate of the palace, she heard the report from the guard Hui: "Your Majesty, the emperor of the Southern Kingdom has arrived and is at the gate of the city. The commander has already led people past."
"What? Are you sure it's Liang Taoning?" Jiang Zhen asked in disbelief.
"She said so herself, and we are not sure. The commander took people over to see the situation."
As soon as the words fell, Jiang Zhen turned around and ran towards the city gate, and the guards followed immediately.
There was a horse parked by the side of the road, and she got on the horse without thinking: "Drive!"
After a while, she saw the gorgeous carriage at the gate of the city from a distance, surrounded by a group of guards, and the guards of the Imperial Guard gathered in a circle. The two sides were deadlocked, and she shouted: "Stop!"
People all around looked at her one after another, and saw their supreme king, facing the wind and snow, riding a fast horse, galloping towards them, tightening the reins, the fast horse neighing, its front hooves raised in the air, and swung away. Flicking its tail, it landed safely.
"Retreat." Jiang Zhen ordered.
"But Your Majesty, here..."
Before the commander finished speaking, Jiang Zhen said again: "I said to withdraw the troops, are you deaf?"
"Yes." The commander gestured to his subordinates, and everyone put away their swords, and the guards of the carriage gradually put down their weapons.
Jiang Zhen rode a horse and walked slowly to the carriage. She looked at the carriage with a sense of homelessness, and then sheathed her scabbard into the window of the carriage, and slowly opened the curtain to the side.
The person inside turned his head and looked at her, showing his delicate features, but his face turned pale with fright.
Jiang Zhen paused suddenly: "Who are you? Pretend to be the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?"
Before the woman could speak, she heard a voice from the crowd nearby: "Zhenzhen, I'm here."
Jiang Zhenxun looked around, only to find that the outstanding woman was still wearing a bright red dress, but she was wearing a thick white cloak on the outside. The fur collar wrapped her neck, and some snowflakes floated on her black hair. Standing there is like a plum blossom in full bloom in this winter, proud of the snow and frost, and overwhelming the crowd.
She turned the horse's head, and with the sound of hooves, she came to Song Lingshu and looked down at her.
"Are you looking for me?" Song Lingshu raised his head and looked at her with a smile.
