Chapter 105: Impeached Again
Qingming and Qingzhi, who were guarding the door, sneezed at the same time. They caught a cold after being blown by the evening breeze last night.
Jiang Yueyang curled herself up in the quilt. She didn't want to go to the morning court today.
But at this moment, Xiangling came in with a basin of hot water.
"Girl, you should get up and wash up."
"I'm not feeling well. Go tell my father and have him tell His Majesty or Kong Jijiu that I'm going to be absent from work today."
Xiangling knew without hesitation that she was remembering what happened last night, which was quite embarrassing to be honest.
"Girl, take it easy. Don't you always say that the sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn? Just bear with it and it will pass."
System: [That's right, you're so shameless, what are you afraid of? Besides, Lu Yunting definitely won't tell anyone, let alone laugh at you.]
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang slowly poked her head out from under the quilt.
"You have a point, but I just don't want to go to work." He said, then retracted his head.
Xiangling: "..."
system:【……】
In the end, Jiang Yueyang still couldn't skip work because Minister Jiang didn't want to be executed by the emperor. (killing eyes)
If someone has to get hurt, then the daughter should bear it all, right?
It's just embarrassing, not life-threatening.
He had already learned from Xiangling what happened last night. That kid Lu Yunting actually had such thoughts!
"Dad, let me go. I don't want to go to work."
Minister Jiang pulled her out and said, "Stop messing around! Even if you want to ask for leave, you have to ask in advance."
"This is an emergency."
"What's the emergency?"
"My head hurts, my stomach hurts, my whole body hurts!"
Minister Jiang refused to listen. "Do you believe what you're saying? Let me remind you, deceiving the emperor is a serious crime punishable by death!"
Jiang Yueyang stopped struggling instantly. [Damn! I almost forgot about this!]
System: [Host, you should just go to work honestly, right? At worst, if anyone laughs at you, I'll expose their dirty laundry and make them laugh back.]
Minister Jiang: I need to control my expression later.
[Okay...] Jiang Yueyang compromised.
To prevent his daughter from escaping, Minister Jiang stuffed her into his carriage.
***
When the father and daughter arrived outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, many adults were already waiting there.
Jiang Yueyang felt guilty and thought someone was secretly watching her. [Little melon, could it be that they know what happened last night?]
System: [Host, don't be so suspicious.]
The people present were not looking at her at first, but after hearing this, they all cast furtive glances at her.
At this time, Lu Yunting came.
Jiang Yueyang subconsciously avoided the gaze and moved behind Minister Jiang uncomfortably.
Minister Jiang looked at him with a stern face, as if to say, "Be careful, kid, I'm watching you all the time!"
Lu Yunting swallowed his saliva, feeling panicked. Even when he was attacked from all sides, he had never been so panicked.
He bowed to Minister Jiang, took a last glance at the hiding Jiang Yueyang, and walked forward first.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Third Prince and others watched the entire scene unfold, feeling mixed emotions.
What happened to them last night?
As soon as Lu Yunting walked to his seat and stood there, General Zhenguo in front of him turned around and asked in a low voice.
"Lu boy, look at this general's forehead."
Lu Yunting glanced at the bump on his forehead and said calmly, "It looks good."
General Zhenguo: “…”
"Don't play dumb! Am I asking you if you're good-looking or not? Am I asking you where you went after leaving me last night?"
"Did you go to look for that girl from the Jiang family?"
Lu Yunting: "General Zhenguo, if you say that, others will mistakenly think that I have an improper relationship with you."
General Zhenguo, who usually had a slow mind, unexpectedly understood what he meant. Thinking about the two questions carefully, it seemed that it was quite similar to the queen asking her husband whether he had gone out to find a concubine.
Jiang Yueyang: You are the concubine!
General Zhenguo insisted, "Don't try to change the subject. Tell me, did you go to see that girl from the Jiang family last night?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, the Crown Prince in the nearby team looked very ugly.
He secretly clenched his fists. Was he a step too slow?
At this time, the eunuch from the Hall of Supreme Harmony came out and announced the entry into the hall.
After all the civil and military officials took their positions, it was a long time before Emperor Yuan finally arrived.
As soon as he took his seat, Lord Liang from the Censorate stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to impeach Lord Xiao Jiang for walking outside during curfew and making loud noises, which has damaged the image of our officials."
Emperor Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly. Liang Qing was very courageous. He actually dared to provoke Jiang Yueyang, that troublesome girl.
Isn’t he afraid that the melon will be eaten until nothing is left of his pants?
Jiang Yueyang: [Little melon, look, I told them they knew, how embarrassing!]
Is it a question of embarrassment now? Now you are being impeached.
[If you want to impeach me, then impeach me. It would be best if Your Majesty dismissed me from my position in anger. This class is open to whoever falls in love with it!]
The system couldn't help but pour cold water on her, "I'm afraid he won't dismiss you from your position, but instead banish you to a desolate land."
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
Emperor Yuan glanced at Lord Liang with displeasure, and secretly glared at the Imperial Censor, Lord Wei.
Keep your men under control!
Lord Wei also felt that Lord Liang's actions were inappropriate. He did not object to him impeaching Jiang Yueyang, but he should choose a more appropriate private impeachment.
Submit a memorial to His Majesty, and He will punish according to the law.
Why do we have to bring this to court to argue?
Although Emperor Yuan was annoyed by Lord Liang's rash behavior, he still asked a routine question.
"Jiang Yueyang, what do you have to say about Liang Qing's impeachment?"
Jiang Yueyang was about to step out of line to answer when Lu Yunting, who was standing in front of him, stepped out first and said, "Your Majesty, I happened to be nearby last night, a quarter of an hour before curfew."
[Oh, yeah. Lu Yunting was there too. Why did Lord Liang only impeach me? What a coward!]
Lord Liang: “…”
System: [Host, Lu Yunting is a friendly force.]
[I know, I'm just complaining to you.]
To prove he wasn't the coward she'd described him as, Lord Liang stiffened his neck and continued, "Even if it weren't for curfew, Lord Jiang howling in the streets at night would damage the image of our officials!"
"Did Sir Liang recognize the wrong person? I remember Sir Xiao Jiang was singing, not the ghostly howling you said."
"Is that singing?"
"Isn't it? I think it sounds pretty good."
System: [Host, is there something wrong with Lu Yunting's ears? ]
"A little bit. No, what do you mean? Is my singing really that bad?"
What do you think? It's like slaughtering a pig.
puff!
Emperor Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud, but fortunately Jiang Yueyang was far away and didn't hear it.
Sir Liang hadn't expected Lu Yunting to lie so openly. "Your Majesty, everything I say is true. General Lu is favoring Sir Xiao Jiang."
Emperor Yuan coughed twice and said, "Jiang Yueyang, you speak."
Jiang Yueyang said with a guilty conscience: "I think my singing is... okay."
good?
Then you should speak more firmly.
Emperor Yuan: "Jiang Yueyang, no matter how well you sing, it is a fact that you disturbed the people. I will punish you by not having any days off for the next three months."
[You won't give me a day off? Ahhhh... Liang, just wait for me! Little melon, expose your dirty laundry!]
System: [Okay!]
