Chapter 512: What is Your Ambition? Revenge?
In the evening, Jun Yuyan returned and said to Murong Jiu with a smile,
"Guessing is too much trouble. Tomorrow, I will have someone call Zhen Huailin out, and we can ask him directly in person. If the Empress has no issues, she could come out of the palace and listen in behind the screen. However, we might have to get up early, it could be a bit of a hassle."
Officials of the Fifth Rank or above needed to attend the morning court, but since the Emperor spent his days in the military camp, the court meetings of the past few days had been canceled. Thus, Jun Yuyan could find time to summon Zhen Huailin before his duty began.
Murong Jiu’s eyes lit up: "Sure, I don’t mind the hassle. Leaving the palace and then returning wouldn’t be considered late."
Jun Yuyan watched her expression, a smile in his eyes.
He knew she was interested, otherwise she wouldn’t have specially had Zhou Li investigate the Zhen Family’s affairs.
He hadn’t expected his little Empress to be quite so gossipy.
But as long as it made the Empress happier, he was willing to do anything.
"Actually, it was Your Majesty who saw potential in Lord Zhen and promoted him to the capital. When I was listening to government affairs from behind the curtain, I also felt that Lord Zhen was quite insightful, gentle, and elegant, not quite like the person Eunuch Li described, who allegedly favored concubines and destroyed his wife."
Jun Yuyan nodded, "I seldom make mistakes in judging people. If Zhen Huailin truly has a blemish in his private morals, his official career will come to an end here, with no further advancement."
