Moonlight shone through the frosted window into the quiet garden, casting mottled shadows of the moon.

"In that case, it is rather thrilling."

Mu Jing's jade-like finger tapped on the sandalwood table as she frowned: "But if you were the messenger, wouldn't that be strange?"

"It's more than just strange," Lv Ruo said angrily. "It's not like there aren't any generals in Ranqi, why do you insist on competing with me with archery, and even make things difficult for the Young Master, and this is fine too, why are you letting the Young Master go and exterminate bandits, the Young Master is just a small scout!"

Hearing that, Mu Jing laughed out without restraint, "Girl, do you really care about your young master going to exterminate the bandits, or do you dislike your young master being a scout who cannot take on the heavy responsibility of exterminating the bandits?"

"Miss Jing!" Lv Ruo glared at her, "Miss Jing clearly knew that I was worrying about Young Master, and you even spoke sarcastically …"

Mu Jing knew what Lv Ruo was feeling right now. He could light a spark on fire and cause a huge commotion, but he did not dare tease her.

She turned and looked at Su Jinruo who had been silent the entire time, and asked: "Young Noble, what do you think?"

Su Jinruo smiled with his eyes as calm as the night, and answered with a question, "What did you think of?"

Mu Jing straightened his expression and said: "There is a general, there is a talent, but none of them are my eyes. I used pressure to make you learn how to shoot arrows, then naturally I asked you to kill bandits.

"At that time, the Emperor did not send me to the capital out of fear of the power of the Prime Minister Su. Instead, he took the risk and kept me here, even nurturing me.

Su Jinruo rubbed the edge of the light flower porcelain bowl that was filled with exquisite pastries, "However, after today, I can see some clues."

Throughout all of China's history, she knew that the General Assembly had threatened the imperial power, and had even replaced it …

However, all of this was just a theory.

Today was different.

She had witnessed with her own eyes the scene where a hundred officials dared to speak out at the same time only after Prime Minister Su had agreed.

Even though the Prime Minister Su was respectful, the fact that they were mutually threatening the power of the royal family was already there.

Her presence was just cannon fodder to weaken the power of the prime minister.

They wanted to magnify her shortcomings, give her a heavy responsibility and a high degree of trust, and make her 'incompetent' again and again.

Then we can give them a crime, a crime against the Nine Clans.

This way, not only would they be able to take off the heads of powerful enemies with dignity,

It could also strike down those who relied on their enemies' power to survive, regain control of the empire, and intimidate the imperial court!

Two birds with one stone, it was indeed a good plan, a good plan …

Su Jinruo's gaze stopped at the pastries and laughed softly without a sound.

The bandit gang would not be at peace …

They chatted for a few hours in Mu Jing's private room.

Only then did Su Jinruo and Lv Ruo leave.

Just as he returned to his own courtyard, he saw a woman in front of him hurriedly enter the Qian House.

She walked quickly, with a hint of panic.

Lv Ruo frowned, and said: "Sir, do you want this servant or not …"

Su Jinruo raised his hand, stopping Lv Ruo from continuing.

She lightly swept a glance at the woman's figure, "You will accompany me in exterminating bandits. Now, you can go rest."

Seeing that the lady had turned a corner and disappeared, Lv Ruo lowered his head and replied: "Yes, Young Noble."

The sky gradually brightened as the ground became hazy, as if it was covered in a silver gray muslin.

Everything was normal.

Since Su Jinruo's warning, Hong Yu had always been obedient and did not harbor any thoughts that she should not have.

The sky was bright as the palace sent someone to deliver the message.

To say that the bandits are too rampant, to harm the people.

The emperor decided to depart tomorrow morning at 0500 — -07: 00, so that she could prepare accordingly.

Su Jinruo only smiled and nodded.

After using breakfast, the quiet Hong Ling suddenly walked up to Su Jinruo and said:

"Master, Senior Feng requests an audience with you."
