Chapter III: Palace Punishment ???
Out of Jingyang Palace, the tall female general was half a step ahead of Jiang Chen and led him towards the north of the imperial city.
Jiang Chen followed all the way, his face was calm and unhurried, and his heart was extremely worried.
Although the empress said that if she could save the seven-leaf blood orchid, she would let herself go, but his family knew his own affairs, how could he have this ability?
When the flower died, he didn't know what would happen to him!
The handsome and handsome self may be detained in this imperial city by the empress, and she will be used as a hot weapon to vent her desires, and she will never see the light of day......
Such an ending is really! really! without ...... Can't refuse.
Ahem.
"This ...... General, dare to ask the general's surname?"
Stopping the unrealistic fantasies in his mind, Jiang Chen opened his mouth and asked the female general in front of him.
This female general can carry a knife to protect the empress closely, and she must be her confidant, maybe she can learn some information about the empress's preferences from her mouth, and save her life at a critical moment.
After Jiang Chen asked, he waited for the tall female general's answer.
However, the general continued to walk forward as if she had not heard.
"General?"
What a good girl, but it's a pity that she's mute......
Just as Jiang Chen sighed in his heart and wanted to give up, the female general's footsteps finally stopped and turned her head.
"Admiral of the Nine Gates of the Imperial City, Chu Qing!"
Hearing the female general's indifferent voice, Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the position and name of the female general, and arched his hand and saluted.
"It turned out to be Admiral Chu, and the grass people were polite. ”
A faint smile hung from the corner of his mouth, clear and sunny.
After transforming from a poor scholar to a trickster leader, he has learned to make full use of his innate advantages.
In his original eastern border town by the sea, such a smile can make the hearts of the girls of the family secretly moved.
However, Chu was clear about Admiral, but his expression did not change in the slightest, and the eyes on his beautiful face became more and more cold, examining him from beginning to end.
"You're so daring. ”
She said coldly: "Your Majesty, what kind of person, how can you allow men to blaspheme? This rumor has spread all over the country, and you, the culprit, really deserve death!"
How can you wait for men to blaspheme?
That's a bit weird......
Moreover, when she just mentioned "rumors", she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief imperceptibly......
Jiang Chen suddenly had a bold idea.
Could it be that this Chu knows what the Admiral has for the Empress of the Great Zhou?
The atmosphere suddenly turned orange.
Facing Chu Qing's gaze, Jiang Chen replied unhurriedly:
"In front of His Majesty just now, the grass people have already explained that this rumor has nothing to do with the grass people, and I also ask Admiral Chu not to add a trumped-up crime. ”
Although I haven't found how to turn the game around, I must drag it out!
Drag, just drag hard!
"Humph!"
Chu Qing snorted coldly and withdrew his gaze.
"Sharp teeth, anyway, Your Majesty has already ordered, if you can't save that seven-leaf blood orchid, the consequences naturally don't need me to say more. ”
After that, she stopped paying attention to Jiang Chen, turned around and walked straight forward.
..................
The two walked a little further without communicating, and a tree-lined garden appeared in front of them.
"Admiral Chu, why are you here?
Before the two of them could stand still, a middle-aged fat man with a rich figure and a smile on his face in the garden greeted him, his mouth full of flattery.
Chu Qing's expression was still indifferent, and he asked him, "Sea Steward, how is that seven-leaf blood orchid?"
"Hey!" the middle-aged fat sea steward immediately made a bitter face, "The subordinates are incompetent, and the condition of this seven-leaf blood orchid is not as good as day by day." ”
"By the way, Admiral Chu, who is this son?"
He came straight to Chu Qing before, and after saying two words, he noticed Jiang Chen standing behind Chu Qing.
The sea steward's eyes narrowed slightly.
The clothes are Shu brocade, and those who wear this are either rich or expensive, and this temperament is definitely not something that ordinary people can raise......
Which noble family is the descendant?
The sea steward had a preliminary judgment in his heart, and his expression became more and more kind in the face of Jiang Chen.
"This is Jiang Chen Jiang Gongzi of Huiji County in the East China Sea, on the orders of His Majesty, I came to your spiritual garden to heal the seven-leaf blood orchid. ”
When she said "Jiang Gongzi", Chu Qing deliberately accentuated her tone, and then she turned to Jiang Chen again, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth.
"Jiang Gongzi, this seven-leaf blood orchid will be handed over to you. Don't let ...... Your Majesty is disappointed!"
After that, she didn't wait for Jiang Chen to answer, her figure moved, and she appeared at the end of the road like a ghost, and in the next moment, she disappeared.
Old yin-yang people......
Jiang Chen looked at Chu Qing's back and hated it.
It's a pity to look at Chu Qing, who flashed hundreds of meters in one step, and then look at himself, he can only keep a polite smile and watch her go away.
"Admiral Chu is a strong man in the Martial Dao Three Rank Seeing God Realm, and his body is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people such as us. ”
The sea steward sighed, immediately looked at Jiang Chen, and bowed.
"My name is Hai Dafu, inheriting His Majesty's grace, and now I am the chief steward of this spiritual garden. ”
"In Xia Jiang Chen, a cloth cloth, I have seen the sea steward. Jiang Chen returned the salute.
Commoner?
Hai Dafu frowned.
This is contrary to his previous judgment!
Wait, the name Jiang Chen seems to be a little familiar......
Suddenly, Hai Dafu's eyes widened suddenly, remembering a story he had heard before.
It's him?
But if it was him, why did Admiral Chu, who seemed to be His Majesty's confidant before, seem to have a bad attitude towards this Jiang Gongzi?
By the way, there are rumors that Admiral Chu has the idea of grinding mirrors for the empress......
Oops, it's all right!
Hai Dafu suddenly realized, looking at Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly changed, and his smile was brilliant to the extreme.
This is the future royal husband!
"Sea Steward, let's go see the seven-leaf blood orchid. ”
Looking at Hai Dafu's expression, Jiang Chen didn't know why, and he didn't know why this sea steward was more enthusiastic.
Hey, I must have been impressed by his handsome face and dusty temperament.
Handsome people always have a harder life.
"Okay, good, the seven-leaf blood orchid is in Jiaziyuan, Jiang Gongzi, please come with me. ”
Hai Dafu hurriedly responded and led the way in front.
After sparing about half a cup of tea in the spiritual garden, the two arrived at the location of the seven-leaf blood orchid.
In the middle of the empty black soil, a flower with seven leaves, the color is like blood, and the extremely gorgeous flower is growing in the middle, and the faint fragrance wafts out, making Jiang Chen, who smells it, feel cool.
The only fly in the ointment is that this gorgeous flower is almost wilted and dying at this time.
"Hey, the seven-leaf blood orchid is a rare spiritual thing, and we don't have a suitable way to raise it, so we can only serve it according to the conventional method, but the situation of this flower is getting worse day by day. ”
"We are incompetent, if we put it in the time of rebellion, I am afraid that I will be punished heavily, fortunately, today's saint is kind-hearted, as long as it is not a big crime of bullying the king, the rest, the light punishment is fine, and the heavy is demotion and dismissal. ”
Hai Dafu looked at the listless seven-leaf blood orchid and sighed for a while.
Bully?
Hearing this word, Jiang Chen, who was also looking at the blood orchid, asked unintentionally, "I don't know how to punish this crime of bullying the king?"
"The crime of bullying the king, of course, is also big and small. ”
Hai Dafu replied: "This heavy, if it is involved in rebellion, of course it is a capital crime, and this light one......"
"How's it light?"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.
"Light, ......"
Hai Dafu smiled: "The palace punishment will flow three thousand miles." ”
"Oh. ”
Jiang Chen's face was expressionless.
