C266 There Was a Guest at the Inn's Secret Discussion Palace

"What? It's only been a few days and you don't know me anymore?" As he spoke, the person wearing the veil lifted his hand to remove the veil. After the two of them saw it, they quickly got up and knelt on the ground.

"Nie Chen and Zhao Gongxun pay their respects to the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine is a thousand years old and a thousand years old. "

"All of you can get up. This is outside, there is no need to be so polite. " As he spoke, the person who came sat on the chair. So the guest who came to visit at night was actually the current Noble Consort Wan, Zhao Wan.

"May I know what orders does Noble Consort have for coming here?" As the saying goes, if there is no reason to come to the Treasure Hall, Nie Chen would not think that this deeply scheming Noble Consort had nothing better to do than to chat with him.

Zhao Wan did not directly answer them. Instead, she turned her head to look at the follower beside her and nodded at her. When this follower saw this, he also nodded his head and turned to the door of the room to observe the outside.

After everything was arranged, she looked at Nie Chen and Nie Chen again. "The two of you have already fulfilled your wish. Although Zhao Gongxun did not become Martial Champion, in the Emperor's heart, you are the real Martial Champion. This is much more important than the nominal Martial Champion. "

" Yes, yes, yes. This is all thanks to your Ladyship's help. Such a great kindness, the two of us will definitely remember it in our hearts. As long as your Ladyship has something to do, as long as there is a word, we will not hesitate to go through fire and water. " Nie Chen went forward and spoke respectfully.

"Haha, that's enough with your words. What do you intend to do next?"

"This, the two of us have just entered the official field and do not know what to do. I hope your Ladyship can give us more guidance. "

"In terms of age, both of you are older than me, so I don't dare to give you pointers. I can only assist you from the side. As for the result, you will have to rely on your own hard work. "

"Your Ladyship is right. "

"Although all of you have already fulfilled your wish, this does not mean anything. The Emperor currently only admires all of you. According to common sense, there is only a very small chance that you will be promoted to a high position. Most likely, you will be sent to the county to be a Zhixian County. "

"Your Ladyship, please guide us brothers. "

"As for you, Nie Chen, I will not be of much help. After all, there are very few opportunities to help you now. But since the Emperor personally asked about your appointment, It shouldn't be Zhixian County or something like that. I know that the Emperor has always had a mental illness. If there is a chance, if you can resolve this mental illness of the Emperor, I believe that it will not be far from the day of your promotion. "

"Oh? May I know what your Ladyship is talking about?"

"It's Zhao Yang from the Ministry of Personnel. He is a corrupt and lawless person who has colluded from top to bottom. He is a huge vermin in Great Ming Dynasty and if you are able to capture him, you will definitely be highly regarded by the Emperor. "

"Oh, it seems like this person is very meticulous in his actions. " After Nie Chen heard this, he smiled and said.

"Oh? Why did you say that?"

"Very clearly, this person called Zhao Yang has yet to be arrested and has even become a thorn in the Emperor's heart. That means that this person did not have any evidence or evidence to be obtained. Hence, without any evidence, even if you know, you cannot randomly arrest him. Furthermore, he is from the Ministry of Personnel. This does not mean that he is meticulous. "

"Haha, you are indeed a smart person. You are able to see through it with just a little bit. Looks like you have a bright future ahead of you. "

"Many thanks for your Ladyship's praise. No matter what, I still have to thank your Ladyship for her reminder. If not for your Ladyship, no matter how great my abilities are, it would not be of any help. "

"En, as for Zhao Gongxun, I can be of some help. The chaos of war has temporarily subsided, but as long as it isn't destroyed, there will be a day when the ashes of death will rekindle. So, as long as the opportunity arises, I will definitely recommend you to fight in the killing field. As long as you are capable, promotion isn't a problem. Just like Pingyun Prince, you have already reached such a stage in a few short years. "

"Then Zhao Gongxun thanks your Ladyship for your guidance. " Zhao Gongxun cupped his fist towards Wan as he spoke.

"Alright, since you have already said what needs to be said, then I should also leave. " After saying that, Wan stood up.

"Farewell, Imperial Concubine. " As they spoke, the two cupped their hands and bowed.

"No need. " Wan waved her hand and left. The two of them looked at each other after Wan left and smiled but did not say anything.

"Brother, it's late. I'm going to rest too. You should also rest early. " After saying that, Zhao Gongxun turned around and left.

Things had been developing as expected. Nie Chen had not been conferred the title of County Magistrate. Instead, he had become a scholar in the rank five Hanlin Academy. As for Zhao Gongxun, he had not become Martial Champion. No one knew who his teacher was, so he could not be given too high a title. Otherwise, it was inevitable that he would be unhappy and could only be given the title of Orthodox Academy's Sixth Stage Xiao Cavalry. However, due to the war, Zhao Gongxun only needed to earn military merits repeatedly. The chance of promotion was much greater than Nie Chen's.

Three days later, Pingyun Prince Mansion.

The Emperor told Pingyun Prince to stay at home and reflect on himself. He was bored and only cultivated every day. On this day, General Qu came to find Pingyun Prince to drink and play chess. Just when the fire was burning, Loong Tian walked in and whispered something in his ear.

"Is what you said true?" Qing Yun seemed to be a little excited after hearing his words.

General Qu had seen his excited expression. He was also curious about what had made him so excited. However, Loong Tian had said it to Qing Yun in a low voice. This was obviously a confidential matter, so it was not appropriate for him to ask about it.

"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. I have already seen him. He is currently waiting for you in the original courtyard. Do you think you will go there now or later? "

"Of course. Let's go there now. " After saying that, Qing Yun put down the chess piece in her hand and stood up to leave. Only then did she remember that General Qu was still here. She turned her head and looked at him.

"Oh, it seems like something has happened to you, Qing Yun. Then you should get busy first. Big brother will be leaving first. " After saying that, General Qu stood up as well.

"Hehe, there's no need for that. Mr Qu, come with me. I'll let you meet an old friend. "

"Your Royal Highness, this. . . !" Loong Tian hesitated after hearing this and wanted to say something to Qing Yun, but because General Qu was present, he could not say it out loud.

"It's alright. Mr Qu isn't an outsider either. I know what to do. "

"An old friend? What old friend?" General Qu was really confused when he heard them.

"Haha, I'll keep this a secret for now. You'll know in a while. Let's go. " Qing Yun smiled and brought General Qu and Long Tian to that remote courtyard.

Not long after, they arrived at a remote courtyard in the Imperial Residence. There were no guards here, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter, including those from the Cloud Guardian. Apart from Qing Yun, only the four brothers from the Loong family were allowed to enter this place. The hygiene of this place was usually handled by the four of them.

"This place is so quiet. I didn't expect that there would be such a quiet place in the Pingyun Prince Mansion. But why aren't there any guards guarding this place?" Before General Qu came to this courtyard, he found that it was very quiet. There were hundreds of flowers blooming in the courtyard, and the stones were rugged. It gave the feeling of a paradise, but there wasn't a single guard in front of the courtyard.
