Ming Jin told him that Yuwen Mo was a very amiable person. Whether it was to his own people or to a foreign hostage like him, he was very good to him.
But 16 years ago, he was suddenly sent to Yunyin Temple on the grounds that he was possessed and his life was in danger.
At the time, Ming Jin was still young and didn't understand. He could only do whatever those people told him to do.
He didn't have many memories of that period. What he knew was slowly uncovered later on.
Yuwen Mo's entire family was executed for treason.
Shi Sheng propped up his chin, his gaze landing on the somewhat old imperial edict.
If Yuwen Mo had this imperial edict, he should have taken it out if he wanted to become emperor. He couldn't have rebelled after so many years of the previous emperor's ascension, right?
The previous emperor had been in power for more than 30 years, so why did he only rebel after more than a decade?
Or was it that the previous emperor had never known about this edict, but found out later on?
This seemed to be the only explanation that made sense.
"You're telling me just like that? Aren't you afraid that I'm on Yuwen Xun's side?" Shi Sheng collected his scattered thoughts and looked at Ming Jin with a half-smile.
Ming Jin's eyes were filled with gentleness that one couldn't help but indulge in. He stared at Shi Sheng for a few seconds, then slowly said, "Then I'll overturn his empire."
"Since you have the ability, why are you still here?"
Ming Jin's eyes sparkled. "Because you're here."
"The consequences of flirting with me are very serious." Shi Sheng knocked on the table. "Can you bear the responsibility?"
Flirting?
Ming Jin didn't quite understand the word, but he understood the latter part.
"Of course."
Shi Sheng leaned closer to Ming Jin and pinched his chin. "But if you're my man, you have to listen to me and do as I say."
"I promise I'll do as you say, except in bed."
Shi Sheng released his grip with a look of pity. "That's a pity. You have to listen to me in bed too, so we're not suited for each other."
Let's meet in the next world!
Her scalp tingled at the thought of being together with someone who was full of evil tricks and would plot against her at any time.
Ming Jin frowned, a look of struggle in his eyes.
In the end, Ming Jin didn't say anything and got up to leave.
Sure enough, men had a different kind of obsession in bed!
Shi Sheng felt that now that he had obtained the imperial edict, he had completed his task of substituting the plum for the peach tree.
After all, the mission didn't ask her to overturn Yuwen Mo's case.
As expected, the royal family was full of scandals.
Hurry up and separate the man and woman, then leave this troublesome place.
…
Because the little prince's illness was gradually improving, Yuwen Xun was both worried and happy.
She had been with her baby for a few days.
"Imperial Father, I don't want to drink anymore." Yuwen Jing's small face wrinkled into a ball.
"Don't mess around," Yuwen Xun scolded and personally fed him the medicine. "How can your body recover if you don't take the medicine?"
Yuwen Jing could only drink the medicine with a bitter face.
"Father, I don't want to live here anymore." Yuwen Jing grabbed Yuwen Xun's sleeve and said pitifully.
"What happened?"
Yuwen Jing pursed his lips and was a little timid. He glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside.
Yuwen Xun frowned and waved his hand to dismiss everyone.
That day, Yuwen Jing was moved to the side hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Everyone who served Yuwen Jing was locked up in the prison.
When Lu Ruo entered, Yuwen Xun just happened to be there.
"Your Majesty." Lu Ruo bowed.
Because Lu Ruo had used her ancestral medicine to save Yuwen Jing, Yuwen Xun had given her special permission to visit the little prince at any time.
But today, Yuwen Xun's expression was a little off.
Lu Ruo didn't understand. Why was this man throwing a tantrum again?
Being in the king's company was like being in the company of a tiger.
Lu Ruo lowered her head and silently cursed.
Yuwen Xun comforted Yuwen Jing and had Lu Ruo follow him out.
Lu Ruo felt even more uneasy. Was someone trying to harm her again?
"An Zhaoyi, give us another portion of the medicine you gave Jing 'er last time."
"Ah?" He was asking her for medicine?
Yuwen Xun's expression wasn't good. Lu Ruo hurriedly took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it over.
Fortunately, she hadn't used up all the medicine she exchanged from the system last time.
Yuwen Xun took the medicine and left.
Lu Ruo was confused.
"System, what's wrong with him?"
"Yuwen Xun's favorability towards you has dropped to 50."
"Ah?" She hadn't done anything. Wasn't it 60 before? Why was it 50 now?
"Host, I have to remind you that the medicine you exchanged is only a beginner's medicine. It's not enough to cure Yuwen Jing."
Lu Ruo felt like she'd been struck by lightning.
After a while, Lu Ruo muttered, "Then … how did he get better?"
"I detected an energy fluctuation on his body. It should be Zhuang Qiong."
Zhuang Qiong …
"What's Zhuang Qiong's favorability towards me?"
"Sorry, it can't be detected."
"Why can't it be detected?" Lu Ruo was a bit anxious. The favorability function had only appeared after the system's upgrade.
Ever since she'd gotten it, she could clearly tell whether the people around her had good or bad intentions towards her.
"The other party might have an even more advanced system. I can't …"
Ever since that day, Lu Ruo had been unlucky. She was banished to the Cold Palace for the crime of deceiving the monarch.
Instead, it was Shi Sheng. Yuwen Jing helped her improve her favorability in front of the male lead.
When Shi Sheng went in, Yuwen Jing woke up once and vaguely saw her.
When Shi Sheng saw what Yuwen Xun sent over, he rejected it completely.
The male lead, we have a deep grudge. Why are you suddenly trying to curry favor with I?
Don't think I'll let you off just because of this.
…
September 9th, Yuwen Xun's birthday.
The vassal state of Xiliang sent the second prince to congratulate him.
The eldest prince?
The eldest prince was in Dong Jin.
As the eldest prince of Xiliang, Ming Jin naturally had to attend.
As for the state preceptor, Shi Sheng was honored to have a seat there, probably because Yuwen Jing had improved her favorability again.
Of course, Shi Sheng didn't know this. She only thought that the male lead might have gone crazy.
Otherwise, he was plotting something.
Shi Sheng's seat wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. Ming Jin sat diagonally across from her, his head lowered. Who knew what he was thinking?
Shi Sheng thought that he was quite pitiful. He couldn't return to his own country, so he had to be a hostage here.
"State Preceptor." Yuwen Jing swayed his small body, blocking Shi Sheng's view.
"What?" Shi Sheng looked up at him.
Yuwen Jing clenched his fists and bowed solemnly. "Thank you, State Preceptor, for saving my life."
Shi Sheng: "…"
This brat was muddle-headed and still recognized people?
Not bad!
"How is the little prince going to thank her?"
"His Majesty actually made her the state preceptor. Why didn't the memorial we submitted have any effect at all?"
"Shh! What do you know? She's very strange. Maybe she really has some skills. "
The strange happenings at Zhai Xing Lou were spreading through the streets and alleys.
There were stories about how you couldn't enter the door, how you couldn't find your way out, and how there was always a white shadow floating around Zhai Xing Lou at night.
Some people said that a demon lived in Zhai Xing Lou, while others said that a god lived in Zhai Xing Lou.
She had made up one novel after another.

White Shadow Ming Jin: … You're the ghost. Your whole family are ghosts. Is there a ghost as handsome as me?
Shi Sheng: Haha.
Ming Jin: …
