Chen Xiang got up early in the morning, glanced towards the bedroom which was completely still, and looked at Ying Yu who had come in with the wash water with a puzzled expression. “What time did Master come back last night? Why hasn’t she gotten up yet?”
“I asked Man’er. Master came back in less than an hour last night!” Ying Yu also stated with a puzzled expression.
“I’ll go wake Master up! It’s almost time for the morning court.” Chen Xiang said as she walked into the bedroom.
Yun Qianyu was still a little dazed when Chen Xiang came to wake her up, but she woke up instantly and realized that she had overslept. Then she quickly got up, got out of bed, washed up quickly, and changed into her court clothes. Yu Nuo then came in and combed her hair.
Just as she finished getting ready, Yujian came in. His complexion had improved a lot.
“Royal Sister, what’s for breakfast this morning?”
Hong Su said as she entered. “It’s so early, Your Highness, please have some porridge first, and then have breakfast after the morning court session!”
“Alright, Sister Hong Su’s porridge is delicious!”
Hong Su smiled and said, “Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness!”
The siblings ate some porridge and then hurried off to the morning court session.
On the way, Yun Qianyu reminded Yujian to be careful not to step on the trap from yesterday when going to court today!
Yujian nodded, his expression darkening. Upon arriving at the main hall, Yujian naturally stood behind the floor tile. While Yun Qianyu stood beside Yujian as before.
Today’s morning court session was all about the kidnapping of the Seventh Prince of Jiuxiao Kingdom and the injury of the Jiuxiao envoy. Yesterday’s incident involving the Third Prince, Beitang Yun, causing a ruckus at the inn had also made the officials doubt Yujian and Yun Qianyu’s abilities.
In particular, the faction of Rui Wang seized the opportunity to make a big fuss!
“Your Majesty, the Princess Protector had declared that she will bring the Seventh Prince, Beitang Ming, back safely within three days. This is highly inappropriate!”
“Oh? In what way?” Murong Cang asked indifferently.
“Right now, there’s absolutely no news of the Seventh Prince. Let alone three days, even seven days wouldn’t be enough to find him. Besides, there are only two days left. If the Princess Protector can’t keep her promise, wouldn’t that be a disgrace to our Nanlou Kingdom?”
Yun Qianyu stepped forward and said, “Do you have a way to find Beitang Ming?”
“This subject does not,” the minister replied awkwardly.
“Just because you can’t do it, you doubt that I can’t either?” Yun Qianyu glanced at him indifferently.
“Can the Princess Protector of the Nation really do that?”
“Of course!”
“Very well, if the Princess can bring Beitang Ming back within three days, I am willing to kowtow a hundred times to apologize to Your Highness. Otherwise…”
He paused, then continued, “Please leave the court, Princess.”
“You are Grand Secretary Jiang Hongwen, aren’t you?”
“I am indeed Grand Secretary Jiang Hongwen.”
“Truly worthy of being a Grand Secretary, you’ve even figured this out.”
“I don’t understand what the Princess is saying!”
“If I win, I will leave the court; if Grand Secretary Jiang wins, he will kowtow a hundred times to apologize. But who would really let Grand Secretary Jiang kowtow a hundred times? The Emperor? That could kill someone. Wouldn’t the Emperor be the villain then? Wouldn’t that be giving Grand Secretary Jiang all the benefits!”
Jiang Hongwen blushed, looked at the ministers and the Emperor, and said, “Since that’s the case, what does the Princess think?”
“Since it’s a bet, it should be fair. Whoever loses gets out of the court!” Yun Qianyu’s last words were ruthless and merciless!
Jiang Hongwen was taken aback. He secretly glanced at Rui Wang, then forced a smile and said, “Alright, for the sake of Nanlou’s reputation, I agree!”
“What does your agreement have to do with Nanlou’s reputation? If I win, you, a three-foot-tall man, are less than a woman. How dare you stand in this court?”
