Chapter 407: Failure of deception
After the officials left the court, Wu Heting realized what a big thing this little girl had done in the past few days!
She actually dared to assassinate the current emperor!
Not only did he go there for several days, he also took advantage of the treasures in the Dragon Palace!
The last time was even more rampant, and almost burned down half of the imperial city!
After hearing the report from his subordinates, Wu Heting, who was sitting on the main seat, almost fell over, and his confidant who was waiting beside him was so weak in the knees that he almost knelt down.
"How can this be a nine-year-old girl..."
"This is clearly a devil!"
I don't know what Prince Zhenguo taught in his daily life to raise such a traitor!
Wu Heting immediately ran to the death row.
"Sir, look, this little ancestor hasn't been caught, right..."
"The palace doesn't know the assassin's true identity either. Can you just...be gentle for a while?"
Don't teach him a lesson as soon as you meet him. This little ancestor doesn't even take Your Majesty and the Queen Mother seriously!
The man touched his face, a little scared, "Otherwise, if this little ancestor gets angry, he will burn down our Dali Temple again."
The Dali Temple may look majestic and solemn, but it is actually extremely poor and has no spare money for renovation!
Wu Heting's beard trembled, and he pointed at his confidant, "You...!"
The confidant felt a little aggrieved and muttered, "I am doing this for your own good, sir."
His neck stiffened, "Otherwise, you can teach her a lesson!"
See if you dare!
Wu Heting held it in for a long while, then he just shook his sleeves and strode away.
There is a saying that his subordinate said is really correct...
He is poor.
Therefore, we must never let this ancestor burn down the Dali Temple!
The door of the death row opened, and Wu Heting happened to see Jiang An eating buns.
At that time, Jiang An was washed thoroughly by Niang Niang, and changed into clean clothes. He held a meat bun in each hand and took a bite of it with the left hand and the right hand.
Although the fabric of this dress is not as good as the one the young lady wears on a daily basis, these Golden Guards also took it to heart and bought the style that is currently the most popular among young girls in Beijing.
The moon-white skirt swung with Jiang An's restless feet, like ripples rising on the calm lake, hiding the playfulness and cuteness of the little girl.
"Master Wu~"
When the little girl saw the person coming, her cheeks puffed up, filled with meat buns.
She tilted her head and greeted Wu Heting with a bright smile.
Looking at her cute and naive appearance, who would dare to believe that such a pretty girl could be so brave!
Wu Heting looked at her helplessly, "You!"
He waved away the golden guards around him, found a stool and sat down casually.
"You are very courageous!"
I don’t know whether this sentence is a compliment or a hint of yin and yang.
Anyway…
Jiang An thought he was praising himself.
The little girl bared her teeth and raised her chin proudly, "My dad always praises me like this!"
The corner of Wu Heting's eyes twitched and he cursed in his heart, this little girl!
"Hehe~"
She just smiled foolishly and tried hard to get the buns with ease.
"Master Wu, don't you want to know why?"
No matter how brave and powerful Jiang An is, she is just a nine-year-old girl...
He thought about the crossbow he had received from the little girl before, and after careful consideration, he could probably guess why Jiang An wanted to make things difficult for His Majesty.
It was one thing for him to guess it, but it was another thing for Jiang An to tell it in person!
The little girl was about to open her mouth.
"Don't! Don't!"
Wu Heting is not that old doctor, he is very smart!
Our Lord Wu half turned aside and waved his hand, "I will not board your pirate ship."
"Oh. Okay~"
Seeing that his attempt to fool people failed, Jiang An shrugged his shoulders and curled his lips.
The death row suddenly became quiet.
"cough…"
"Where are you planning to go next?" Wu Heting asked.
"Let's go back to Huguo Temple."
"Not going back to the North?"
Jiang Anxuan took the last bite of the bun and said, "Come back!"
"The Imperial Master is in seclusion and has not come out yet. I am waiting for him to come out to ask him something. I will leave after he finishes asking."
Do you have anything to ask the Imperial Master?
Wu Heting turned around again, facing the little girl, and asked, "Do you believe in Buddhism?"
Wu Heting: I won’t believe it even if you kill me.
Jiang An shook his head blankly, "I don't believe it."
He was even more puzzled, "Then what do you want to ask the Imperial Master?"
"The Imperial Master has been traveling around the world for many years. He is not familiar with the affairs of the capital or the north..."
Wu Heting suddenly fell silent, as if he remembered something, and his face had an intriguing expression.
When did the Imperial Master start traveling around and not staying in Kyoto?
If he remembered correctly, it was when he entered the palace to meet the emperor, and spoke frankly about the strange celestial phenomena in the Chenglong Palace, saying that the imperial concubine's son Jiang Yuchuan had the appearance of a noble man.
At that time, the late emperor once asked the imperial teacher, since I was born into a royal family and was a prince, how noble could I be?
The national teacher kept silent.
But everyone knows that since he is a prince, the next level up is the crown prince!
The late emperor understood this very well in his mind, and after dismissing many of his close ministers, he left the imperial teacher alone in the palace.
No one knows what the late emperor talked about with the imperial teacher that day...
But later, word spread throughout the capital that the emperor's fourth son, Yuchuan, was capable of shouldering great responsibilities and protecting the common people.
No one can match the imperial concubine's popularity!
A gleam of light flashed in Jiang An's lowered eyes, "Nothing?"
She leaned forward, staring at Wu Heting with her bright eyes, "Master Wu, do you know something..."
Her words brought Wu Heting's thoughts back to reality.
"I don't know!" he retorted immediately.
"cough…"
People are always busy when they are in an awkward situation, just like Lord Wu who is straightening his sleeves now.
The little girl raised her eyebrows and remained silent, but in fact she became more determined to wait for the imperial teacher to come out.
"You just stay here and wait until the storm outside has died down. I will have someone escort you out of the city!"
"but!"
Wu Heting's eyes widened. "I will write to the prince and tell him everything you did in Kyoto!"
Hey?!
The little girl pouted and was unhappy.
"You are such a grown-up, why are you still complaining?"
"I didn't use that trick when I was five!"
"Humph!"
Wu Heting walked outside with his hands behind his back and his beard raised.
Just sue!
It almost scared my heart to death!
Behind him, the little girl was grumbling, "This old man is so petty!"
Next, Jiang An was pampered with good food and drink in the death row.
Outside, the Akabane Army searched the entire Kyoto for three days until the people were in a panic.
The mean-spirited old man in her mouth was worried that the little girl would be bored in prison, so he sent someone to the street to buy a lot of toys for children, as well as storybooks...
Three days later, the censors remonstrated with His Majesty, who almost said that he was as cowardly as a mouse, and that the people of Kyoto were in danger because of the assassination!
The unpleasant words made His Majesty blush!
