Chapter 455 To Become A Loyal Minister

Ji Xun stayed on the right side to talk to a few people. After more than half an hour, Jixiang came in and told them that Su Mianyue mingqing had come to deliver lunch to them.

Ji Xun then remembered that he had not eaten since he got up, and the right-hand man was grateful to Su Mianyue in his heart, and they would not be able to survive without eating, especially since they had been scared for half a day, even eating a ginseng root would not cause nosebleed.

Ji Xun had been living in the civil society for a long time, and had forgotten almost all the rules in the palace, so he had three tables and chairs set up under the imperial court, and the three of them talked while eating.

"Your excellency, the young lady said that you must have been on an empty stomach since you woke up in the morning. It would be tiring for half a day. It would be better to eat some porridge to warm your stomach and then drink ginseng soup to calm your nerves so as not to hurt your stomach and not share your worries for the emperor." Eunuch Qing said to the three of them in a low voice while the meal was being served.

With ji xun's ear, he could hear Eunuch Qing's words. Based on his understanding of Su Mianyue, Su Mianyue would not give such detailed instructions and would not use such a small matter to win over people. However, Ji Xun did not stop Eunuch Qing from acting on his own. It was okay to sell to Su Mianyue.

Looking at the carefully prepared food in front of him, Ji Xun smiled helplessly, afraid that the imperial kitchen would not dare to cook him porridge dishes, so his dishes would be so rich, right?

"Send these dishes over to the ministers. I can't use so much. Tell the imperial kitchen not to prepare so many dishes in the future. It's a pity to waste them. It's better to use them on the people's livelihood." After Ji Xun finished speaking, he added, "Yue said that three vegetarian dishes and one meat and one soup per meal are the most healthy for the body. In the future, let's eat according to this. The empress dowager's imperial concubines are also compared to my consumption."

While thanking them, the right few people were secretly chewing on Ji Xun's words. Was it really because of Su Mianyue's words that they cut down on their spending, or did they take the opportunity to act?

Looking at the delicacies in front of them, the three of them were tasteless.

Eating with the emperor was not so delicious, and the three of them were wondering if they should also refer to the emperor to reduce the expenditure in the mansion.

They were not afraid that the news would not reach Ji Xun's ears. Since ancient times, emperors had planted people in official mansions. They were thinking about whether or not they should express themselves to the court after spending less, and how they should express themselves. This was a headache.

Two hours later, the settlement of the disabled and veterans, as well as the pensions for the soldiers who died in battle, was finalized, as a result of Ji Xun taking out five million taels of silver as the settlement of the existing list of the imperial court.

As for how to settle the soldiers who are currently fighting in this situation, it still needs to be discussed. After all, the money is not in place and the factory that Ji Xun said has not been settled, no one knows what the future will be.

Just as Ji Xun was about to let the three of them go back, Huang Cheng reported outside the door that blood had been found outside Fangfei Court, but Fangfei Court closed the door and did not allow the guards inside to check.

Hong Yanran's living in the palace was not a secret. The three of them wanted to avoid it, but they heard Ji Xun say, "Let's go and have a look together. Miss Hong is Elder Hong's granddaughter. Nothing can happen in the palace, let alone affect her reputation."

The right-hand man smiled bitterly in his heart. Their new king was really devoted to Su Mianyue, and he pushed them to the path of loyalty without any hesitation. He was afraid that today's visit would not be as simple as a visit.

"I obey your orders," the three adults said in unison.

Ji Xun was the first to walk out of the imperial study. Huang Cheng, as the head of the internal guard, walked in the front of the road. Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Fangfei Court palace. They saw that the door was closed, but the blood was not cleaned up. They looked at each other from the right. They were afraid that there was something fishy in Fangfei Court, and this blood was deliberately made, right?

Otherwise, why isn't there any blood anywhere else? Why is there blood at the gate?

Thinking about it, the three of them knew what was going on, but no one dared to say it. The right-hand man pondered a little and said, "Your majesty, I'm afraid that some thieves took the opportunity to break into Fangfei Court. It would be inappropriate to break into Fangfei Court for the sake of Miss Hong's safety, but we must not let the thief stay in Fangfei Court, or to investigate thoroughly."

Ji Xun nodded, looked at Huang Cheng and asked, "Have you searched the rest of the palace?"

"Upon returning to the emperor, wei chen has ordered people to search the entire palace, but Fangfei Court has not." Guard Huang bowed and replied.

"Is there no guard in Fangfei Court?" Ji Xun asked again.

"Fangfei Court has always been guarded by wang he, but Miss Hong doesn't like to have so many people around. There are only a dozen people on duty every day." Huang Cheng replied without saying anything.

Ji Xun no longer asked, but ordered, "Send someone to call the door and say I'm here."

In Fangfei Court, Hong Yanran sat in a chair with a complicated face. Just before a cup of tea, someone ran to Fangfei Court covered in blood. Hong Yanran was really shocked, but a few people claimed that they were under orders to protect Hong Yanran, only saying that Ji Xun had ordered Hong Yanran not to leave Fangfei Court. I'll see her later.

"No." Hong Yanran suddenly stood up and said to Hongxiu in a low voice, "You go and see what those people are saying. If Brother Xun sent someone to protect me, they wouldn't go and apply medicine together."

Hongxiu paused for a moment before asking, "Girl, do you mean... Those people are traitors?"

"Whether they are or not, I can't explain even if I have ten mouths." Hong Yanran's face was grim and he glanced at Hongxiu, "No, you'd better not look. If they want to kill you, you won't be able to escape at all. Send someone to find brother xun immediately and say I'm sick and want to see him."

Hongxiu was still in a daze, so he turned around to look for the palace men on duty and asked them to pass the message to Ji Xun.

When the palace people who were unaware of the words of master and servant hong Yanran arrived at the entrance of the palace, they heard someone knocking on the door. When they saw Ji Xun, they quickly relayed Hongxiu's words outside the door.

After Ji Xun heard this, he told Jixiang, "Since Miss Hong is sick, send the imperial physician. I don't know anything about medicine." Then he told Huang Cheng, "Send someone over."

Jixiang quickly arranged for someone to pass on the imperial physician. Huang Cheng also instructed his confidant to call for someone. A group of people stood at the door with Ji Xun and waited. When the imperial physician arrived, Ji Xun looked at Huang Cheng and said, "Ask your men to protect several adults in a while, and remember not to let them suffer any harm. If there is a traitor inside, if you can't catch him alive, kill him directly. You don't have to think about keeping him alive."

The right hand subconsciously wiped the sweat off his forehead. He wanted to pin the crime to death. Without proof, no matter how much Hong Yanran tried to defend him, he was powerless.

Ji Xun did not care what these people thought. After Huang Cheng reported to Fangfei Court, Ji Xun guessed that Su Mianyue meant it, and he would not go against Su Mianyue's mind because of this small matter.

It would be best to get rid of Hong Yanran without offending Hong Zhengsheng. However, Hong Yanran's visit to the left Prime Minister's Mansion was well known, and even if Hong Yanran refused to admit it, he could not get rid of the doubts.

Huang Cheng ordered the guards to pull out their swords and rush into Fangfei Court. Ji Xun followed closely behind. Several officials were protected by another group of guards. As for the palace maid in Fangfei Court who had fainted from fright, no one paid attention to her as long as she did not do anything bad.
