Chapter 358: Mosquito...Mosquito Bites
Moon-Lan Pavilion.
Jiang Yueyang had just finished taking a shower and her hair was wet.
Seeing this, Xiangling hurriedly took a towel to wipe her hair, muttering to herself as she wiped.
"Girl, you should have let me in to help you bathe. How can you come out like this with your hair so wet? What if you catch a cold?"
"Hey girl, why is there a red spot on your neck?"
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang shuddered, and after realizing something, he raised his hands to cover his neck.
"girl?"
"It was a mosquito bite."
Xiangling scratched her head in confusion, "Are there mosquitoes in winter?"
"Have."
The system's voice carried a teasing smile. "Not only are there mosquitoes, but they're also quite large. Host, am I right?"
【you shut up. 】
After warning the system, Jiang Yueyang smiled and took the towel from Xiangling's hand, "I can wipe it myself, you go to sleep first."
Xiangling hesitated for a moment and then went out.
Jiang Yueyang walked to the bronze mirror and sat down. The red mark on her neck was obvious, which was left by A Yue.
For some reason, I always feel that Ayue is not confident enough in front of me, and seems a little... humble.
He is the God of War!
On the other side of the night, Lord Zuo Xiang walked out of the study after finishing his official business.
Seeing that it was late at night, he thought that Jiang Yueyang's letter of complaint would not arrive tonight.
As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, an arrow streaked across the sky and flew towards him.
The left prime minister instinctively widened his eyes and watched the arrow fall to the ground in front of him motionlessly.
After a moment, he gasped for breath.
"Master Xiao Jiang is serious!"
Before this, Kong Jijiu, Lord Wei and Duke Ying had suffered the same treatment.
Kong Jijiu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, and it took him a long time to get up from the ground with difficulty.
In the future, I will make sure that girl knows what it means to take care of the elderly and family members and that it is everyone’s responsibility!
Lord Wei was also quite frightened, and was thinking that he would severely criticize Jiang Yueyang for this matter later.
The Duke of England was fine, but he still pointed to the sky and cursed Jiang Yueyang for being useless every day!
They picked up the arrows, took a quick look at the note on the arrows, and then fell asleep with their frightened hearts.
After today's morning court session, Emperor Yuan ordered someone to interrogate Cai Jinghui.
Cai Jinghui confessed to collecting female corpses and digging human graves.
As for why he didn't find a chance to escape before the incident, he said it was because of his identity as the Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple, which allowed him to get ice more easily.

The next day, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
As soon as Jiang Yueyang arrived here, she subconsciously looked towards Cai Jinghui's position, but didn't see anyone.
Could it be that Lord Zuo Xiang and his men had already taken action last night?
Just as I was thinking about it, Emperor Yuan arrived.
The Left Prime Minister stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Cai Jinghui has confessed to his crimes and is now imprisoned, awaiting your Majesty's decision."
Emperor Yuan nodded, but before he could say anything, Kong Jijiu came out again.
"Your Majesty, although the person who reported last night was meritorious, the method he used was too horrifying. It almost scared this old minister to death."
"Your Majesty, I am almost scared to death." The Duke of England also came out and echoed.
Emperor Yuan's lips trembled, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Finally, someone can deal with these old guys who always go against me.
Lord Wei said, "That man sent a letter to the four of us old fellows on the same night, so he must have known something about us.
Maybe...she is watching us right now!"
Hearing what Lord Wei said, Jiang Yueyang suddenly became nervous, especially when he turned around and glanced at the people behind him.
Does he have to be so sharp?
Emperor Yuan coughed lightly, "Are you saying, Wei Qing, that the person who reported this is among you?"
"I have this suspicion."
"In that case..." Emperor Yuan glanced at the crowd, "If it is indeed any of you, my beloved minister, please step forward. I will definitely reward you greatly."
As soon as these words were spoken, the system deliberately added: [Host, why don't you just step forward? The Emperor has promised to reward you generously.]
Jiang Yueyang rolled her eyes inwardly, "Little girl, do you think I look like a fool?
If I stand up and admit it now, won't those old men from Lord Wei take turns bombarding me?
Lord Wei and his four companions: Old man?
[Besides...] Jiang Yueyang continued, [Your Majesty's commendation is just for listening, he has no money.
As for my status, I'm already the Chief Supervisor of the Supervisory Department and the Princess of Yongle, which is high enough. Besides, I don't care about it.
Emperor Yuan was dissatisfied and thought, "Once the taxes and grain from the imperial farms are collected, I will have money!"
Civil and military officials: Lord Xiao Jiang, are you satisfied now?
Then, Emperor Yuan said with a smile, "Wei Qing, I promised a reward, but no one has come forward to claim it. It seems that he is not here."
Lord Wei secretly complained that it was because you had no money and the rewards you could give were not attractive enough.
"Your Majesty, meritorious service deserves a reward. I, this old minister, believe that person should be found no matter what..."
"Alright," Emperor Yuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "Since they're sending the letter in secret, they probably don't want to reveal their identity. Besides, judging by the current situation, they're friends, not enemies. Why should we pursue this matter further?"
Emperor Yuan had said so much, and Lord Wei had nothing more to say. He bowed and sat down.
The Left Prime Minister said with a serious expression, "Your Majesty, the New Year is approaching, there are many palace banquets, and the Crown Prince's wedding is imminent. The position of Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple needs to be replaced as soon as possible."
Emperor Yuan nodded slightly, "Do any of you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
The court fell silent for a moment, and all the civil and military officials lowered their eyes in thought.
A moment later, the newly appointed Minister of Rites stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Mr. Lin, the editor of the Hanlin Academy. He is well-read and well-versed in etiquette, and will surely be qualified for this position."
Before the Yuan Emperor could respond, the Left Prime Minister shook his head. "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate. Lord Lin, while talented, is too rigid and inflexible to handle the various uncertainties of a palace banquet."
"Then is there anyone suitable for the position of Left Prime Minister?"
The Left Prime Minister pondered for a moment, "I recommend Mr. Zhao from the Censorate. He is flexible and adept at dealing with people."
"I feel that this is inappropriate..."
Jiang Yueyang looked around curiously, "Little melon, do you think they'll end up fighting like they did yesterday?"
[No, yesterday's street sweeping had already made them deeply aware of their mistakes. They couldn't afford to lose face.]
Hearing about the street sweeping, Jiang Yueyang lamented, "What a pity I didn't see them sweeping the streets yesterday."
[It's okay, they still need to sweep for two days.] The system laughed flatteringly, [Host, is it time for us to eat melons?]
【What kind of melon do you want to eat? 】
【Wenchangbo's melon! 】
