Chapter 780 The Emperor's Target

Su Hao felt that this was very fantasy. At first, she was just a soldier who had returned from the battlefield without any position and could be executed at any time. Now, in just a few months, she has become the third-rank chief of the Xiaoyao Palace. Basically, everyone would respectfully call her Lord Shang when they saw her.

When she first came to this world, she learned that her task was to support the merchants and to help them gain a foothold in the court. She thought it would take a long time to do it, but she didn't expect that her task was almost half completed in just a few months.

It seems that the mission of this world is not as difficult as I imagined.

From the sixth rank to the third rank, this promotion speed made Su Hao doubt that no matter how powerful the King of Xiaoyao had, it would be impossible for the emperor to be so obedient!

It seems that she was promoted to the third-rank chief minister at once, which should not only be the only one who is Xiaoyao, but the emperor and the queen mother may also want to promote her position.

Shortly after she was promoted to Chief Secretary, Empress Dowager Corning Palace sent someone to call her into the palace again.

Su Hao is no longer surprised by the Empress Dowager's behavior. She knows the Empress Dowager's thoughts, and she also has a hand in the game with Ji Chang, so there is nothing to worry about.

However, Su Hao's journey to enter the palace was very smooth this time. She did not encounter the annoying prince again to make things difficult for him. Now the prince has become a waste. He has lost his limbs and can only shrink in his palace every day and cannot go out.

Thinking about the current image of the prince, Su Hao remembered an allusion.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Concubine Qi was favored and bullied Lu Zhi. Later, when Liu Bang died, Lu Zhi took over the power, and then cut off the brothers and feet of Concubine Qi, digging out his eyes, destroying his ears, drinking mute medicine, and then locking the deposed Concubine Qi into the toilet, called a human pig.

In addition to not being dug up his eyes and ears and drinking mute medicine, the prince's current condition is similar to that of Concubine Qi.

This time, Su Hao quickly entered the Corning Palace and met the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager still sat in the Buddhist temple and read Buddhist scriptures as usual.

When Su Hao met the Queen Mother again, he felt a little complicated.

"Wei Chen Shang Youluo has met the Queen Mother."

When the Empress Dowager heard Su Hao's voice, she raised her eyes and glanced at Su Hao, and then staggered her eyes, "Shang Youluo, you are a sensible person. There are some words that the Ai family doesn't need to say to you, you should understand them yourself."

Su Hao pursed his lips and continued, "I don't know what the Empress Dowager wants me to understand."

The Empress Dowager said, "Everyone says that one minister does not serve the second master. The Ai family wants to ask, is your master the court or the King of Xiaoyao?"

This question...is very sensitive.

When Su Hao heard this question, he had already understood the Queen Mother's thoughts.

They are all suspicious and afraid of Ji Chang!

Su Hao said with neither humility nor arrogant words, "The shores of the world are the king's land, and the shores of the earth are the king's ministers. Your Majesty is the master of the world, and naturally the monarch of the weak ministers."

She said this without any loss. Yes, she is indeed loyal to the emperor, but it is not certain which emperor it is.

The Empress Dowager seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing Su Hao's answer.

"Very good, I deserve to be a minister valued by the Ai family."

After Su Hao left the palace, he immediately returned to the royal palace and stopped Ji Chang on the way to the study.

"Prince, I want to say something to you."

She took a deep breath and stabilized her excitement.

"Your Majesty is afraid of the prince and wants to attack the prince."

Ji Chang narrowed his eyes and stared at Su Hao."

How did you know?”

Su Hao bluntly said "guessed."

Ji Chang "..."

The next situation was just like Su Hao's "guessment". The emperor found an excuse and took away Ji Chang's military power. Most of Ji Chang's military power in the capital fell into the hands of the emperor.

The return of power does not mean that the emperor let Ji Chang go. Not long after, Ji Chang's throne of Prince Xiaoyao was demoted, and he changed from a noble prince to a county prince exiled to Chuzhou.

The emperor issued an order, Ji Chang was arrogant and domineering, and the subordinates violated the emperor, and was disrespectful to the emperor. In order to punish him, he demoted him to Chuzhou to become the prince of Xiaoyao County.

Prince Xiaoyao's mansion was also raided after Ji Chang left. Su Hao looked at the sealed mansion gate and was at a loss for a moment.

She finally became the chief minister in the Xiaoyao Palace, but now she has to live on the streets... This world is really unpredictable.

Su Hao was feeling melancholy when suddenly a guard appeared beside Su Hao on a fast horse.

"Master Shang, the Empress Dowager summons you to the palace."

Su Hao was stunned when she heard the news. For some reason, she had a bad premonition.

No matter what, she still has to go there first.

After Su Hao received the news, he immediately entered Corning Palace as fast as possible, but as soon as she walked into Corning Palace, she was stunned.

There was still a person kneeling in the main hall of Corning Palace. The man was in Ji May, who had been missing for many days.

Ji Wuyue knelt in front of the Queen Mother, weak and confused.

Fortunately, Ji Wuyue was fine, and Su Hao's heart finally calmed down. After Ji Chang left, Ji Wuyue disappeared. Su Hao searched Ji Wuyue for several days but couldn't find her. She was worried that something might happen to Ji Wuyue all day long.

Seeing Su Hao walking into the hall, the queen mother curled her lips and smiled, and suddenly said, "Mr. Shang, Prince Xiaoyao, the Ai family has to thank you more. Fortunately, you reported to Your Majesty Ji Chang in time. Otherwise, the Great Yan was in danger."

Ji Wuyue suddenly turned around and looked shocked.

"Empress Dowager, you mean..."

The Empress Dowager seemed to have no concern about how much trouble her words caused in Ji Wuyue's heart. She continued to say happily, "Although your father is guilty, you, the daughter, are indeed innocent. The Ai family and the emperor will not make things difficult for you. Ji Chang was exiled to Chuzhou, and you can still be your princess in the palace, with the grace as before."

Su Hao frowned. She did tell Ji Chang that the court would attack him, but Ji Wuyue was not aware of it.

Ji Chang was suddenly demoted, and she also became the daughter of a criminal from Prince Xiaoyao's child. Judging from Ji Wuyue's appearance, she would inevitably not misunderstand herself.

Su was so upset, what should I do?

But the empress dowager was unwilling to explain to her, and she added fuel to the fire and said, "In view of the fact that Lord Shang made such contributions to Dayan, Lord Shang still holds the third rank and serves as an official in the capital."

Su Hao couldn't refute the Empress Dowager, so she had to bow and say, "I thanked the Empress Dowager for the grace."

What should be said and what should be explained is also explained. Su Hao withdrew from Corning Palace.

Then, Ji Wuyue also chased him out.

"Shang Youluo, stop for me!"

Su Hao heard the footsteps behind him, stopped, turned around and looked at Ji Wuyue.

"Your Highness Princess, are you doing something?"

As soon as Su Hao finished speaking, a crisp sound was heard.

Su Hao's cheek hurts, and the angry Ji Wuyue slapped Su Hao in the face.

Ji Wuyue stared at Su Hao with red eyes.

"My father is so nice to you, why do you betray my father? Even if my father is wrong, it is wrong for my father to disrespect the emperor. I would like to ask you to change the gentle method... Shang Youluo, why do you do this?"

Standing in front of Su Hao, Shang Youluo's questioning was very shrill, and Su Hao was speechless for a moment.

She couldn't explain to Ji Wuyue what was going on, and she couldn't explain to Ji Wuyue now.

Seeing that Su Hao didn't speak, Ji Wuyue became even more angry. She grabbed Su Hao's collar and yelled, "Shang Youluo, you speak, you speak!"

Su Hao didn't say anything, Ji Wuyue raised her hand again, trying to greet Su Hao's face.

But this time Su Hao did not wait for Ji Wuyue's loud slap.

A hand fell from mid-air and grabbed Ji Wuyue's arm steadily.

"Your Highness Princess, you can't treat Lord Shang like this."

This voice... At this time, the person standing beside Ji Wuyue's arm was the guard Mu Yan. Mu Yan grabbed Ji Wuyue's arm, frowned and looked at Su Hao, and his eyes fell back to Ji Wuyue.

Ji Wuyue flattened her mouth, suddenly turned around and hugged Mu Yan and started crying.

"Mr. Shang, I'm really sorry. His Highness the Princess couldn't stand the blow for a while and offended him. I hope he would forgive the Princess this time when he saw the princess being hit."

Of course she would forgive Ji Wuyue, and of course she would not blame Ji Wuyue for anything. It was just that Mu Yan's attitude, why did she become so unfamiliar with her?

Su Hao looked at Mu Yan. She wanted to explain something, but she wanted to say something but stopped.

She said, "Then please help Guard Mu take good care of His Highness the Princess."

Before Su Hao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ji Wuyue's roar.

Ji Wuyue raised her head from Mu Yan's arms and stared at Su Hao with tears in her eyes, "Get out!"

Su Hao shut up, bowed his hand, and left Ji Wuyue.

Although the Dayan royal family is guilty of Ji Chang's crime, they will not attack Ji Wuyue. Su Hao is very clear about this, so Ji Wuyue is now very safe in the palace, except that the situation will be a little embarrassed.

When Da Yan punished Ji Chang, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the actions of the Da Yan royal family. If the Da Yan royal family clearly distinguished between public and private affairs, it would be fine if they treated Ji Wuyue well. If they drove them all to kill Ji Wuyue, they would just force Ji Chang to rebel and would also cause criticism from the world.

Although Emperor Dayan was tyrannical, he was not so confused.

Now that the Xiaoyao Palace is gone, Su Hao naturally cannot continue to be the chief secretary of the Xiaoyao Palace. The emperor re-appointed her as the leader of the Xiaoqi Governor, and she is still in the third rank of official position.

Moreover, unlike in the past, she can also enter the court to participate in the government affairs, but after all, she is a military officer and has to deal with affairs in the capital on weekdays. There is no need for her to deal with in the government affairs, so naturally she can not go to the court.

Su Hao knew that those ministers would not want to see her now, and would also talk about her behind their backs, talk about her betrayal of Ji Chang, and talk about her assassination of Ji Chang being exiled.

Su Hao walked around the military camp aimlessly. Naturally, there were people in the military camp who knew that she had reported Ji Chang. Some people hid when they saw her, and some people respectfully called him Lord Shang when they saw her.

But in general, it is still the most innocent in the military camp, so you don’t have to listen to those gossip about her betrayal of Ji Chang.

Moreover, she did not really betray Ji Chang.
