Undress to cool off
At the same time, Prince Yi's residence also received the news.
Dou Quan hurriedly went to report to Jing Yi. "Your Highness, we've already investigated. The Minister of Personnel, Peng Yuanhai, indeed has no contact with Prince Rong. Therefore, the Ministry of Personnel's censure has nothing to do with Prince Rong. However, Yuanhai previously worked for Qiao Zheng, and Qiao Zheng was in private contact with Your Highness. This subordinate is worried that the Emperor might think that Your Highness deliberately instigated the Ministry of Personnel to censure Prince Rong."
"This is also what This King is worried about." Jing Yi pondered and said, "The memorials are all screened by the Office of Transmission before they are submitted. It doesn't make sense that Lord Qu of the Office of Transmission would submit a memorial to a prince. What's more, it was this prince who recommended that Lord Qu three years ago. Therefore, all the accusations are pointing at this prince and also pointing at this prince for secretly colluding with the Ministry of Personnel and the Office of Transmission to impeach Jing Rong and eliminate him."
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"At this time, Imperial Father should have received the news. This move of mine … is difficult to make."
He said in a deep voice!
He furrowed his brows.
Dou Quan asked, "But since this matter has nothing to do with Prince Rong, who could it be?"
Jing Yi shook his head. At present, neither the Imperial Court nor the Crown Prince's remaining clique had the ability to influence the Ministry of Appointments and the Office of Transmission.
Even a prince like him couldn't control a department and a department.
Who was the mastermind behind the scenes who knew how to kill two birds with one stone?
Jing Yi said solemnly, "You have to make plans as soon as possible."
Otherwise, the position of the Crown Prince would change!
No, there was a change in the throne.
…
Five days later, Yufu County.
The county magistrate, Zuo Yao, was already waiting at the entrance of the county with a group of people.
The people in the yamen waited for half a day under the scorching sun.
He was drenched in sweat!
His mind was exhausted!
Zuo Yao's heart was burning with anxiety and uneasiness. He paced back and forth on the spot, rubbing his hands together nervously. He looked to see if Prince Rong's carriage had arrived and sighed. "It's already so late, why isn't he here yet?"
Just like that, he muttered to himself for a long time!
Constable Zhou couldn't take it anymore. He wiped the pearl-sized beads of sweat off his forehead and stepped forward. "Sir, why don't we go back first? We can't keep waiting like this."
He did not wait any longer.
He couldn't wait any longer.
Zuo Yao glared at him. "Go back? What if the person came and didn't receive him? Prince Rong was ordered by the Emperor to investigate the missing disaster relief funds, and that Teacher Ji was sent by the Supreme Court to investigate the case from a few years ago. We can't afford to offend either of them. If we neglect him, even our heads won't be enough to compensate. "
"Why don't we go to a cool place and wait? The sun is so strong. If we continue to stand here, we won't be able to take it."
"You talk too much nonsense."
"Milord …"
"Shut up," Zuo Yao scolded.
Constable Zhou felt deflated and wiped his sweat. He felt helpless. It wasn't the first time that his master had been as timid as a mouse.
Therefore, he could only retreat to the side and look up at the sun. It was so bright that it almost blinded his dog eyes.
The little bailiffs in the yamen were so hot that their heads were swaying, and their bodies were almost burnt to a crisp.
If this went on, he would definitely suffer from heatstroke!
But Sir Zuo was very stubborn. He walked back and forth a few times.
Suddenly —
The sound of galloping horses could be heard from afar. It was Jing Rong's bodyguards galloping over.
They looked majestic.
"They're here, they're here."
Everyone instantly perked up. Zuo Yao also immediately tidied up his wrinkled official robe and shook his body. He respectfully looked at the horse that stopped in front of him.
The bodyguard pulled the reins and said in a very dignified voice, "Are you Lord Zuo?"
"Yes, this humble official."
"His Highness sent me to inform Lord Zuo that you don't need to come out to welcome him. You should all quickly return to the yamen. His Highness will only arrive at night."
"At night?"
A bolt of lightning fiercely struck down.
Could it be that he had been standing here for so long in vain?
The bodyguard was only responsible for informing people, not for comforting them. He pulled the reins, kicked the horse's belly, and left.
Sigh!
Zuo Yao sighed heavily.
Constable Zhou acted as if he had caught him by his pigtails. He straightened his back and said, "Milord, I told you to go back first. We have been standing here like fools for the whole morning, and His Highness will only arrive at night."
"Since when did you talk so much nonsense?"
"I'm telling the truth."
"Alright, alright. Let's all quickly return to the yamen." Zuo Yao's face was filled with helplessness. His tensed nerves also relaxed. Once he relaxed, his legs turned to jelly and he almost fell to the ground.
Son of a bitch, it's so hot!
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and quickly entered the city gate.
Everyone hurried to catch up.
Finally, he didn't have to become a roasted suckling pig.
… …
Not far from Yufu County, the carriages of carriages were moving at a moderate pace.
The bodyguards on horseback were so exposed to the sun that their skin and flesh were about to explode.
If one took a careful sniff, they could even smell the aroma of roasted meat.
It was so fragrant!
Even a man made of iron would have to yield in front of the sun.
The weather in July was stuffy and hot!
It was simply too hot!
Inside the carriage, it was suffocating. Coupled with the bumpy journey, it was even more dangerous.
Therefore, Jing Rong ordered them to slow down to avoid any accidents. He also sent someone to Yufu County to inform the Yufu County Magistrate.
Ji Yunshu had a cold constitution, so she rarely felt hot. But now, she could not stand it anymore.
Jing Rong smirked, "If you don't mind, you can take off your clothes in case you get sick from the heat. Don't worry, this Prince won't look."
Yes, this Prince will take a look.
Definitely just a glance.
Ji Yunshu glared at him, "I'm not hot."
"You're not hot, but this Prince is."
After saying that, he moved to take off his clothes, but was immediately stopped by Ji Yunshu.
"What are you doing?"
Jing Rong put on an innocent face and retorted, "This Prince is hot. Is it wrong to take off my clothes?"
Indeed, in modern times, he could even go bare-chested and only wear his briefs.
But …
Seeing her frown, Jing Rong asked again, "What's wrong? You can't take it off? "
Yes!
Thus, Ji Yunshu could only withdraw her hand that was blocking him.
But …
After taking off his outer clothes, Jing Rong prepared to take off his inner clothes.
"Wait!" Ji Yunshu stopped him again, "Just take off your outer clothes. If you really feel hot, you can open the curtains."
"Opening the curtains won't relieve the heat. It's better to take off my clothes and be more comfortable."
You're an ancient person, can't you be more conservative?
Ji Yunshu's face turned green, "We're in the carriage, not in the house. If you take off your clothes and someone outside sees you, it'll be hard for them to say anything."
She didn't want to be called a brokeback.
In the next moment, Jing Rong's lips curled into a mischievous smile, and he leaned towards her.
"According to you, I can take off my clothes if I close the door in the house?"
"Uh!"
