I Just Won't Play By The Book
chapter-323

After discussing the county reform for a while and waiting for the novelty to wear off, Yin Jianghong left.

Now that he had the name list in his hands, the final piece of the puzzle to clean up Fengzhou had been completed. As for whether the people on the name list would be killed or kept alive, Jiang Beiran was completely unconcerned.

'Is it finally coming to an end…'

Starting from the Masked Moon Sect incident, the storm caused by the previous emperor was finally about to subside, and Feng Province was about to usher in a brand new situation. Everything would still be the same, but it would also change quite a bit.

" That silly head came just in time.'

Jiang Beiran sighed as he gazed at the starry sky.

He had originally planned to cause some trouble for the Liang Kingdom, but because of the sudden arrival of a certain simple-minded person, the forces in the Liang Kingdom would probably think that the imperial court of the Sheng Kingdom was once again under their control. In the short term, there was a high chance that they would not come again to cause trouble.

In the Imperial Palace.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts. Senior Sister, be gentler. It hurts! It's really going to crack!"

"Wuwuwu, Senior Sister, what did I do wrong? Wuwuwu, the Emperor, save me!"

"You still have the face to call him emperor! Watch how I deal with you today!"

..

Bang! The door to the royal study was pushed open. Jiang Beiran frowned when he saw Muyao tearing at Kong Qianqian's mouth.

Seeing the Emperor's displeasure, Muyao immediately let go of Kong Qianqian and bowed.""Your Majesty."

"Sob sob sob ~ Your Majesty, you're finally here, Senior Sister she…" Kong Qianqian shouted as she ran towards Jiang Beiran, feeling wronged.

"You're getting more and more unruly."Jiang Beiran shouted at Kong Qianqian.

"It's not me... It's Senior Sister, she..."

"Do you want me to say it a second time?" Jiang Beiran stared at Kong Qianqian.

"Woo... This servant receives the decree." After saying that, Kong Qianqian lowered her head and left.

After Kong Qianqian left, he closed the door and said to Muyao,""You told Qianqian?"

Muyao shook her head vigorously.""No, no, I didn't tell him that I already knew."

"If you suddenly do this, isn't it the same as telling her that you already know?"

Muyao shook her head and explained,""Don't worry, Your Majesty. With Qianqian's brain, she definitely won't think of it."

'That's true…'

Jiang Beiran agreed with Muyao, but he still frowned and said,""You still have to be careful. If Zhen finds out that you can't keep the secret, don't blame Zhen for being heartless."

"Yes... As you wish." Muyao lowered her head.

However, when Jiang Beiran turned his back on her, he immediately made a face at her.

"You also get a hundred beatings." Jiang Beiran said as he sat on the dragon table.

"I..." Although Muyao wanted to protest, she obediently accepted the punishment when she sensed the emperor's aura.

"Shougui." Jiang Beiran raised his head and shouted.

"This servant is here." Wang Shougui, who was waiting at the door, immediately came in and bowed.

"Call Deng Xianghan over."

" Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Shougui immediately went to the Yihua Hall next door.

A moment later, Deng Xianghan was led to the royal study by Wang Shougui. Jiang Beiran nodded and waved at Wang Shougui,""You may leave."

"Yes." After Wang Shougui bowed, he immediately retreated.

When the door to the royal study was closed, Jiang Beiran said,""Your father won't be able to come back."

Deng Xianghan's mouth opened slightly, and her expression froze at first. Then, she held her face and sobbed softly, and the more she cried, the louder she cried.

Although she knew that her father might not come back, she had always held onto a little hope in her heart. Now that her last hope had been shattered, the string that had been supporting her to be strong had finally been completely broken.

However, Deng Xianghan's venting only lasted for a short while. Soon, she wiped her tears and knelt on the ground."Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Zhen didn't save your father, so what's there to thank?"

"This servant is thanking Your Majesty for being willing to help this servant."

Looking at Deng Xianghan kneeling in front of the table, Jiang Beiran sighed in his heart and said,""However, Zhen can ensure the safety of you and your daughter. From now on, you can live in peace in the Imperial Palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Deng Xianghan kowtowed and shouted.

Hearing another burst of sobbing, Jiang Beiran did not say anything. He picked up a book titled " Lu Ye's Biography " and started reading it, letting Deng Xianghan digest it slowly.

After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Deng Xianghan, who had cried herself to death, shouted in a hoarse voice,"Your Majesty, can this servant tell this matter to this servant's mother and younger sisters?"

"Okay, go ahead." Jiang Beiran waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Deng Xianghan was about to get up when she realized that her legs were a little numb, so she had no choice but to limp out.

Opening the door, Deng Xianghan walked out and met the two people who had just returned.

Deng Xianghan nodded at Muyao and Kong Qianqian before limping out of Jingxin Palace.

After Deng Xianghan walked away, Kong Qianqian gloated and whispered to Muyao,""Senior Sister, Senior Sister, do you think she was beaten too? You're acting even better than us."

Seeing Deng Xianghan limping out of the royal study with bloodshot eyes, Muyao couldn't help but feel strange. She couldn't pinpoint what was strange, but she felt like she had seen something like this before in the cult.

Muyao looked away and knocked on the door.

Hearing the Emperor's permission, she pushed the door open and walked in.

Seeing Muyao and Kong Qianqian limping in, Jiang Beiran waved at them."" Muyao, come here and try to get the other party."

Muyao hurried over, no longer pretending to be limping.
