Consort Li's eyes widened slightly in shock at Jiang Cheng's maneuver.
"Cough, cough, cough."
Liang Lu let out a choking cough.
The sudden twist from Consort Lin caught her off guard.
Blank Imperial Decree?
What kind of mind could come up with such a maneuver?
"And then?" Liang Lu asked.
Consort Lin replied, "Then His Majesty let Jiang Cheng go."
"Without charging him with any crime?" Liang Lu frowned.
"No."
"That's not his style."
"The main reason was that Prince Chu immediately spread the news of His Majesty opening his doors to the court and the streets, attracting a large group of key court officials eager to request an audience."
Liang Lu nodded, "That's not surprising."
The battle over the blank imperial decree forced the old veteran to step forward, then used his influence to gather important officials, leaving the old veteran overstretched.
Jiang Cheng indeed had both courage and strategy, was bold yet meticulous.
It's just a pity he's an aide to Liang Hong.
