The matter of the Emperor's death was originally strange. Although the Palace had blocked the news of this matter to prevent the common people from panicking, there were so many civil and military officials. The secret this time in the Palace was too big. Even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't. All the colleagues in the court were well aware of this matter, but they did not say it out loud.
Qi Feng stood in the courtyard, playing with a paperweight in his hand. Mo Cong asked curiously, "What the hell is Xuan Li doing? He went through so much trouble just to get involved with Zhao Jin? Isn't he making a fuss over a minor issue? "Mo Cong and Xiao Shao were on the same side. Naturally, they knew that the people who were against them were Xuan Li's people. There was no doubt that the death of the Emperor was related to Xuan Li. Originally, everyone thought that Xuan Li wanted nothing more than to justify the death of the Emperor due to illness. Who knew that there would be this incident of poisoning. Xuan Li must have done this deliberately to leave clues, but the purpose of doing this was actually to implicate Zhao Jin.
If Zhao Jin's whole family was involved, it would be fine, but this reason was a personal grudge between Zhao Jin and Dong Yinger. In this way, it had nothing to do with the murder of the Emperor. It was just that Zhao Jin wanted to harm Dong Yinger and accidentally poisoned the Emperor. Since it was just to pull out Zhao Jin, why did they need Xuan Li to make a move? Moreover, Xuan Li and Zhao Jin had no grudges. Xuan Li had never been a meddlesome person. As a result, Mo Cong was puzzled.
"That's not the case." Qi Feng shook his head. "Xuan Li never wastes his energy. It's just Zhao Jin."
"Then, Fourth Brother, do you mean that there's still a backup plan?" Mo Cong asked.
"Of course there is." Qi Feng's voice sank. "Zhao Jin's family is the most protective, and Zhao Jin and Jiang Xin Zhi are already engaged. They are in the same boat. No matter what, it is not easy for Jiang Xin Zhi to get out of it. Of course, the most important thing is that they always have only one purpose. "
"The Thirteenth Prince?" Mo Cong understood a little. Everyone knew that Jiang Ruan had a good relationship with Xuan Pei. Jiang Xin Zhi and Jiang Ruan were siblings. Naturally, they shared a common enemy. If Jiang Xin Zhi could replace Jiang Ruan, it meant that Jiang Xin Zhi and Xuan Pei had also formed an alliance. As long as Jiang Xin Zhi was dragged into this mess, Xuan Pei would not be able to escape.
"I see!" Mo Cong came to a sudden realization after thinking it through. He hurriedly said, "Xuan Li is incomparably cunning. This matter should be within his calculations. If this is really the case, then he must have already made preparations for the aftermath. Fourth Brother, you and Third Brother should have already come up with a countermeasure. Why don't you tell us?" Mo Cong had always trusted Xiao Shao and Qi Feng. Qi Feng was in charge of the Hundred Zhang Tower while Xiao Shao led the Jinyi Guards. They had always cooperated very well. Even though the opponent they were facing was cunning, and everyone in the Mo family, including Old Master Mo, was frowning, Mo Cong was not worried at all. Even if the sky collapsed, there were still a few fellow disciples to hold it up. Nothing bad would happen.
Qi Feng glanced at him and smiled, "I won't tell you."
Mo Cong was discouraged, "Fourth Brother, in any case, we are fellow disciples …"
"You just need to know your place in the court. At the same time, comfort your Old Master. Don't be dazzled by the current situation in the court. It is good to be neutral, but a wise man submits to circumstances. Between the Eighth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince, who has a greater chance of winning, I don't need to tell you. Instead of talking to me here, it is better to persuade your Old Master. You are also a member of the Mo family. Don't ignore the affairs of the residence all day long. "Qi Feng simply taught Mo Cong.
Although Mo Cong was intelligent, he was still young and had entered the sect later than his fellow apprentices. He had a playful personality and was like a child. What he hated most was being lectured by others. After listening to Qi Feng's words, he suddenly felt a headache and quickly said, "Stop, stop. Fourth Brother, don't say anymore. I won't ask anymore, okay?" He glanced outside. Xiao Shao had been busy these days and was not in the residence at all. He came several times but did not see him. Mo Cong said, "Is Third Brother still worried about Third Sister-in-law? There is no news at all? "
Qi Feng's eyes darkened. After a while, he shook his head and said, "No." At the beginning, this plan was decided by Jiang Ruan. No matter how unwilling he was, he also understood that this was the best way. Later, he thought that in order not to alert the enemy, it was better to let the Jinyi Guards secretly investigate. But until now, they had not found where the person was. Even Qi Feng had a trace of worry in his heart. But he also knew that Xiao Shao's worries were much greater than his. At this point, he could only continue to persevere. He could only hope that the death of the Emperor was a prelude to make Xuan Li move faster. In that case, the plan could be carried out smoothly.
…
In the dungeon, Zhao Jin looked at Lin Zi Xiang who came to visit and asked anxiously, "How is it?"
Lin Zi Xiang's face was a little ugly, "Your father was sent to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. This is not a trivial matter. The Emperor's affairs are sensitive, and now your Zhao family is in big trouble. The Zhao family has now been sealed. I asked my father to plead with the Empress Dowager, but it was useless. I'm sorry, Zhao Jin. " Lin Zi Xiang was very sad. She really wanted to help Zhao Jin, but her father was just a Chief Clerk with a false reputation and no real power. Normally, he would only be able to move his lips and nothing more. How could he really influence the decision of someone in a higher position?
Seeing this, Zhao Jin comforted her instead, "It's not your fault. This time, the matter was too big. By the way, Zi Xiang, what did my father say? Did you tell my father to push all the blame on me? "
Zhao Jin had already seen clearly that since this matter was ultimately a decision made by Dong Yinger against her, as long as she died, everything would not matter. In any case, the whole Zhao family could not be involved. If she only admitted that it was her fault, then it would be her fault for wanting to murder Dong Yinger, but in the end, she mistakenly killed the Emperor. At least the Zhao family could withdraw and save their lives. However, if the entire Zhao family was implicated, then the entire household would be charged with the crime of plotting to murder the Emperor.
Lin Zi Xiang was silent for a while before shaking her head, "Your father and your two brothers love you so much. How could they let you bear all the responsibility alone? You clearly know that this is impossible."
Actually, as long as the two young masters of the Zhao family and Lord Zhao said that they did not know anything about this matter, they could extricate themselves from it. After all, the Zhao family did not seem to have any reason to harm the Emperor. Furthermore, the matter could be considered as having irrefutable evidence. Who knew that Lord Zhao and the two young masters of the Zhao family would be so stubborn? They had spoiled Zhao Jin since she was young, so how could they just stand by and watch? Not only did they not want to push everything onto Zhao Jin's head to protect themselves, they even desperately cried out for Zhao Jin's innocence. They said that Zhao Jin would definitely not send the poisonous ginseng into the palace and that Dong Yinger would not murder her. This was definitely a false accusation and someone had set it up.
This was already a sensitive time, so crying out for innocence was a great taboo for the Ministry of Justice. It immediately made the situation that had eased up even more tense. When Zhao Jin heard this, she was dumbfounded. Then, she laughed bitterly, "In the end, I am the one who has caused them trouble."
Lin Zi Xiang also sighed, "As a daughter, at least your father is willing to protect you. When Ruan meimei was imprisoned …" She did not continue. The relationship between Jiang Ruan and Jiang Quan had never been good. That cold-hearted man could not wait to hit her when she was down and said that he would risk his life to protect her. The fate between people was so different. However, Lord Zhao's protectiveness might not necessarily be a good thing.
"You can go back." Zhao Jin said tiredly, "I will think about it."
"What do you want to think about?" Lin Zi Xiang cautiously asked, "Don't do anything stupid. Don't act like you're trying to commit suicide in prison." This kind of thing was not rare. In order to protect one's family, one person would take all the blame and commit suicide in prison.
Zhao Jin smiled, "What can I do to commit suicide? This place is very strict with me. Besides, even if I commit suicide, my father and brothers may not be released. At least, we have to wait until the truth comes to light. Don't worry. "
Lin Zi Xiang thought about it again. Now, if Zhao Jin really committed suicide to escape punishment, it would not be good. With her character of protecting her family, she would not do such an inconsiderate thing. She immediately nodded, "Okay, then you be more careful."
Zhao Jin nodded. After Lin Zi Xiang left, she rubbed her forehead, turned around and sat against the wall. The ground was wet with straw, and there were even mice in the night. In all her years, this was the first time she had been imprisoned. Thinking that Jiang Ruan had also been to the Celestial Prison, she could not help but laugh at herself.
She admired Jiang Ruan very much. Although she did not know martial arts, in all kinds of conspiracies, no matter how dangerous the situation was, she was able to escape unscathed. She seemed to be very smart and could always beat her at her own game. When she had first entered the Celestial Prison, she was probably not as miserable as she was now. She must have been quietly waiting, like a beast quietly lurking, waiting for an opportunity to move and catch all her prey in one fell swoop.
However, she did not have Jiang Ruan's ability. She knew that Dong Yinger had harmed her, but there was nothing she could do. Moreover, if she was not careful, her family would also be dragged down. Zhao Jin took a deep breath and looked at the pendant on her waist. It was a half-moon shaped piece of amber that Jiang Xin Zhi had given her. It had originally been a necklace, but Zhao Jin had eventually made it into a pendant. This matter had arisen because of Jiang Xin Zhi. If not for Jiang Xin Zhi, Dong Yinger probably would not have hated her so much.
Now that she had to make this decision, if she had to say who she had let down, apart from her own family, the person she had let down the most was probably Jiang Xin Zhi. But … She did not regret it. Zhao Jin closed her eyes and suddenly said, "Little brother, little brother!"
She was calling for the jailer. Because of Jiang Xin Zhi's special care, the jailer treated her quite well. Hearing this, a jailer walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I want …. To write a letter of apology, "Zhao Jin said.
Things in the world were usually ever-changing. Before Zhao Jin's letter of apology could be sent out, there was an unforeseen event in the palace.
The cause was that someone found the same poison in the old ginseng that Zhao Jin had sent into the palace in Mu Xirou's bedroom. Mu Xirou and Zhao Jin had nothing to do with each other, so there was more to this than meets the eye. Someone searched Mu Xirou's bedroom and found a seal. With this seal, the guards in the palace could be mobilized at will, and it was very convenient to move around the palace. This seal was none other than the thirteenth prince, Xuan Pei's.
This matter caused an uproar in the court.
The thirteenth prince was still young, so it was a bit far-fetched to say that he had some kind of relationship with Mu Xirou. But why would Mu Xirou's things be in Xuan Pei's hands? There was only one reason — Mu Xirou was Xuan Pei's person to begin with.
Then, they found many suspicious points in Mu Xirou's bedroom. In a place like the palace, once there were suspicions, there was no need to worry about not being able to find anything. Although Mu Xirou's flaw was small, it was still discovered. As a result, almost everyone was certain that Mu Xirou was Xuan Pei's person.
Mu Xirou was Xuan Pei's person, and Mu Xirou was related to the thirteenth prince. Then why did Zhao Jin come to deliver something to Dong Yinger and inadvertently poison the emperor? This matter was a mess, and almost no one could figure out what was going on, making it even more confusing. But at this time, someone stood up and said that she knew the truth and wanted to defend the emperor.
This person was the thirteenth prince, Xuan Pei's personal palace maid, Chao Yang.
Chao Yang knelt in front of Empress Dowager Yi De and kowtowed, "This servant knows what is going on. Mu Zhaoyi was originally His Highness's person. His Highness wanted to seize the throne, so he gave Mu Zhaoyi poison and let her take the opportunity to poison His Majesty's medicine. However, Mu Zhaoyi rarely served His Majesty and was always protected by Dong Xiuyi. There was no chance to do so. " Chao Yang paused and looked at Empress Dowager Yi De before continuing timidly, "Then, then it was because of Hong 'an Junzhu …. Hong 'an Junzhu and His Highness have long formed an alliance, but now that Hong' an Junzhu's life is uncertain and His Highness urgently needs to act, Hong 'an Junzhu's brother, General Jiang, thought of a way. General Jiang's fiancee is Miss Zhao, and Miss Zhao and Dong Xiuyi are close friends. He wanted to use this opportunity to send two old ginseng …. Dong Xiuyi wholeheartedly cares about His Majesty and will certainly be reluctant to give up the two thousand-year-old ginseng. He will send the ginseng to the medicinal cuisine together with His Majesty's medicine. "
Chao Yang kowtowed and said with a fearful expression, "After this servant knew about this, I felt very uneasy. However, this servant's words carry little weight, and I was afraid that no one would believe me. So, so I hid it, thinking that perhaps they wouldn't be so bold. I didn't think that it would really happen. This servant has been living in fear day and night, and now I can't bear it anymore. Empress Dowager, that Miss Zhao was also used. In fact, the one who really wanted to kill His Majesty was General Jiang, no, His Highness! " Chao Yang finished speaking in one breath and kowtowed several times on the ground until blood began to seep out of his forehead.
Xuan Pei and Xuan Li were both standing there. When Xuan Li heard this, the shock on his face did not diminish. He looked at Xuan Pei and said, "Thirteenth Younger Brother, you …. Did you really do it? "
"Eighth Brother really hurts my heart," Xuan Pei said unhurriedly. "We are blood brothers, but you would rather believe a lowly palace maid and start suspecting me. Naturally, this matter was not done by me. "
Empress Dowager Yi De did not say anything, only silently looking at the two of them. Inside the room, Mu Xirou's expression was surprisingly calm. The imperial guards outside were all waiting to the side, waiting for the order to take Mu Xirou down. No matter what, there was no doubt that the same poison as the one in the old ginseng had been found in her bedroom. Just based on this, Mu Xirou could forget about escaping from this matter.
"Empress Dowager, this servant's words are absolutely true. This servant did not speak nonsense. This matter concerns His Majesty's life and death. Even if this servant had a hundred times more courage, this servant would not dare to speak nonsense! " Chao Yang kowtowed again and again. "This servant has now spoken the truth. I no longer hope to live, but only hope to have peace of mind. When I go to the underworld, I will have the face to face Father and Mother." She first said that she was ready to die. When a person was about to die, their words were also kind. This was a convincing reason.
Dong Yinger stood to the side, covering her mouth. Her expression was distressed and uneasy. She only muttered, "How could it be like this, how could it be like this?" She suddenly looked angrily at Xuan Pei. "His Majesty was so good to you, why did you harm His Majesty like this! Thirteenth Prince, your heart is simply like a snake or scorpion! "
Xuan Pei laughed. In the face of all the evidence against him, he actually looked very calm. "That's right, Dong Xiu Yi. Imperial Father was so good to me, why would I harm him? How could you listen to the nonsense of a little palace maid? "
"She is your personal palace maid." Dong Yinger said, "Why would she frame you for no reason?"
"That's right. I also want to know. Why would she frame me for no reason?" Xuan Pei smiled as he looked at Chao Yang kneeling on the ground. Chao Yang was usually smart and clever. She had face in front of Xuan Pei so everyone in the palace knew that she was Xuan Pei's chief palace maid. At this moment, Xuan Pei casually asked, "Chao Yang, this Prince also wants to ask. This Prince has always treated you well. Why would you frame this Prince?"
"I'm not framing Your Highness, I'm not framing Your Highness." Chao Yang shrank back in fear, as if he was extremely afraid of Xuan Pei. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that his fear was fake and not very real. However, no one saw the look in her eyes. Their attention was attracted by Chaoyang's words. Chaoyang said, "Your Highness, you want to seize the throne, but you can't kill His Majesty. That would be akin to killing a father and a king. This servant is too scared, this servant is too scared …"
"Haha." Xuan Pei laughed with interest. "That's strange. I am Imperial Father's son. Perhaps Imperial Father will hand over the world to me in the future. It's mine to begin with, so why would I want to take it away?" His words had a profound meaning. Xuan Li's eyes flashed and Empress Dowager Yi De frowned. Xuan Pei continued, "Of course, Imperial Father may hand over the world to Eighth Brother. However, Little Chao Yang," he smiled brightly, "Imperial Father has never revealed who he wants to hand over the world to. I do not know and Eighth Brother does not know. Do you know?"
Chao Yang was stunned. She looked at Xuan Pei with shock and fear. That delicate youth's smile was bright and beautiful. He looked like an elegant young master casually riding a horse. It was originally the warmest smile, but at this moment, there was a deep and bottomless coldness that chilled one's heart. Xuan Pei said, "Chaoyang, are you saying that Imperial Father already wants to hand over the world to Eighth Brother? I was unwilling to accept this, so I committed the crime of regicide? This Prince wants to know how you know Imperial Father's decision. Then where is the imperial edict that Imperial Father wants to appoint Eighth Brother? Since you know, then don't hide it. Take it out and let me see. "
Ming Yue, who was waiting at the side, could not help but laugh silently. Xuan Pei's serious mockery was sometimes very refreshing to watch. But she was on Xuan Pei's side. Naturally, it was refreshing to watch, but not so refreshing. Xuan Li's expression changed slightly. Chao Yang could not help but tremble.
She knew how terrifying the youth in front of her was. Even though Chao Yang had always emphasized to Xuan Li that Xuan Pei was not as harmless as he appeared to be, she always felt that this youth was still hiding many things. What she saw now was what Xuan Pei wanted her to see. She knew that Xuan Pei was a scheming and scheming person. But Xuan Pei must have even more scheming and scheming that she had not discovered.
She already felt the pressure. Xuan Pei's gaze on her made Chao Yang feel cold all over. She should not have such a feeling. She was the most outstanding assassin, but what she probed was the human heart. She was a dead chess piece that Xuan Li had cultivated. Once a chess piece was sent out, it was only to move the overall situation. There was no possibility of survival. A chess piece that was prepared to die, naturally, there was nothing in the world that could make her feel afraid. But Xuan Pei's gaze made Chao Yang feel afraid.
Chao Yang did not know what kind of feeling this was. She stayed by Xuan Pei's side and did her best to be a timid palace maid. Because she had grown up with a special master, she gradually became more daring. Chao Yang completely immersed herself in this, as if she was just an ordinary palace maid. She was the most outstanding assassin, and she used her heart to seek the final stab. She believed that she did not reveal any flaws. Now, as long as her accusation caused Xuan Pei to have the slightest suspicion, it would not matter whether there was evidence or not. If Xuan Pei did not refute, in the future, on the path to the throne, he would have a reason to condemn him. He would lose a large portion of the people's hearts. If he refuted, Xuan Li would have ten thousand ways to start a war. In this way, Xuan Pei would be accused of treason.
No matter which one it was, Xuan Pei was facing a dead end.
Ming Yue looked up at Xuan Pei again. Xuan Pei had a smile on his lips, and there was not a trace of surprise on his face. Chao Yang carefully recalled, not letting go of any small expression on Xuan Pei's face, hoping to find panic or other emotions. But unfortunately, she suddenly discovered that from the moment she revealed that Xuan Pei had killed his father until now, Xuan Pei had not revealed the slightest hint of surprise. Even if it was an act, even if he was forcing himself to be calm, this kind of emotion was too natural.
Could it be that he had already expected all this? Chao Yang secretly shook her head in her heart. That was impossible. Just now, Mu Xirou's face revealed a trace of panic. That expression could not be faked. Since Mu Xirou did not expect this, how could Xuan Pei know? This young man was probably used to hiding it.
Xuan Li took a step forward, looked at Empress Dowager Yi De and asked, "Imperial Grandmother, what should we do now?" He looked at Xuan Pei awkwardly. "Thirteenth Brother is young, naturally he would not do such a thing. I'm afraid there is something fishy about it. But if we ignore this matter now, I'm afraid …" Saying that Xuan Pei was young meant that Xuan Pei might have been bewitched by someone else. Everyone was well aware of who this person was. Naturally, it was Jiang Xin Zhi, who had been implicated.
Empress Dowager Yi De's gaze swept over everyone present. Finally, her gaze fell on the calm Xuan Pei. She suddenly waved her hand and said in a low voice, "Put Jiang Xin Zhi and Mu Xirou in the dungeon for interrogation. As for the rest, investigate!"
She did not imprison Xuan Pei, indicating that she still had a glimmer of hope. In fact, even if there was evidence pointing to Xuan Pei, unless the evidence was conclusive and could immediately convict him, Empress Dowager Yi De would not easily touch Xuan Pei. Because right now, both inside and outside the court were in chaos. If this matter was exposed, the Great Jin Dynasty would not be stable. No matter what happened within the court, the external threat was more important. Empress Dowager Yi De had sat in a high position all her life. She naturally knew that the people of Southern Border were restless, waiting for this chaotic opportunity. How could she let them take advantage of it?
Xuan Li glanced at Chao Yang, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "This servant girl …"
"Lock her up as well!" Empress Dowager Yi De said coldly. She got up and walked away. She did not say anything, not even expressing her stance on Xuan Pei's matter. This was already very unusual. But Empress Dowager Yi De usually did not have any set rules, and no one could guess her thoughts. Compared to guessing Empress Dowager Yi De's thoughts, everyone was more willing to watch Xuan Pei's show.
Xuan Li walked to Xuan Pei's side and sighed. "Thirteenth Brother, you are really unlucky." On the surface, he had the expression of a good elder brother fighting for his younger brother. From afar, it really looked like a scene of deep brotherly love. However, there was a hint of provocation in his words, as if he was mocking a loser.
Although Empress Dowager Yi De did not express her stance on Xuan Pei's matter, Xuan Pei would probably be under house arrest in the future. This was not a good thing for a prince. Once he was under house arrest, he could only communicate with the court officials and knew nothing about the outside world. During the days of house arrest, the outside world could undergo earth-shaking changes. Becoming a deaf, blind, and crippled person in the palace was too passive.
"Why does Eighth Brother say that?" Xuan Pei asked curiously. "My luck has always been good. At first, I thought my days were over. I didn't expect Imperial Father to think highly of me." He smiled slightly. "Master Hui Jue read my fortune and said that my life is a path of happiness after suffering. Until the end, no one knows what my luck will be like. Maybe in a few days, I will be in the pink of misfortune. "
Xuan Pei did not take Xuan Li's words to heart. It seemed that he was deliberately provoking Xuan Li. Xuan Pei's ability to anger people to death was never to be underestimated. Even the patient Xuan Li's eyes flashed with anger, but he quickly calmed down. He also smiled. "If that's the case, then I wish Thirteenth Brother good luck."
….
There was not only one person in the palace who was worried about this. Even Liu Min, who had been silent for a long time, was deeply worried.
Feelings for Jiang Ruan were a taboo. On the day she married someone else, Liu Min knew that he and this woman were not fated to be together in this life. He longed for Jiang Ruan to live well, but when he saw her and Xiao Shao's deep love for each other, his heart ached. However, Liu Min was a person who restrained himself. He knew that since he could not obtain it, it was also good to forget.
Liu Min knew that Jiang Ruan and Xuan Pei had always had a good relationship. Since the Emperor appointed him to be Xuan Pei's tutor, Liu Min had been doing his best to teach him everything he knew. Originally, when he was the Crown Prince's tutor, the Crown Prince was ignorant and incompetent. Indeed, he did not know much about literature, which made it difficult for Liu Min to deal with him. However, the Thirteenth Prince, Xuan Pei, was different. At first, because of his relationship with Jiang Ruan, Liu Min saw him in a different light. Later, in the process of getting along with him, Liu Min felt that this youth had unique views and a strange way of thinking. When it came to political affairs, although he was a prince, he was able to look at problems from the bottom to the top. Moreover, he did not have the impetuous youths, and was steady and thoughtful in handling matters. He was truly a genius.
The Emperor had asked him to teach Xuan Pei, and Liu Min had always thought that it was to pave the way for Xuan Pei's future. He and Xuan Pei had a relationship like a scout and a thousand li steed. In his life, he only had two students, one mediocre and incompetent, and the other a genius with good luck. Any teacher would cherish a talented person, let alone someone like Liu Min.
He sighed, but now that the Emperor had passed away, the court was like a group of dragons without a head. He was a scholar, so he could not go into battle to kill the enemy, nor could he influence the overall situation like the prime ministers and ministers. Moreover, he could not do anything for Jiang Xin Zhi when Jiang Ruan's life was uncertain. Liu Min suddenly felt a sense of sorrow. He sighed and said, "A useless scholar."
"What are you talking about?" A pair of hands patted his shoulder. Liu Min turned his head and found that it was Mo Cong. When he was in the Imperial College, Mo Cong had extended a helping hand to him. Later, they entered the rankings together. However, the Mo family had power, while he had climbed up step by step with his own ability. The two of them actually did not have much interaction. Now that he saw Mo Cong, he was stunned.
"Great Zhuangyuan, don't belittle yourself. How many scholars in the Great Jin dynasty look up to you as an example, hoping to become a zhuangyuan when they come back? If you say that, aren't you harming the hearts of scholars? How will you do the imperial examinations in the future?" Mo Cong jokingly said.
Liu Min shook his head, "So what if I'm an official? I still can't do anything. I used to think that I could change the world with my own strength, but now it seems that it was just a fool's talk. "
Mo Cong glanced at him, "You are really a strange person. When you were being pushed aside in the academy, you were very virtuous and virtuous. Why did you enter the court and become an official, and after being flattered by so many people, instead become cynical?" He shook his head, "Originally, I was hoping that you would help Third Sister-in-law, but now it seems that I have to reconsider."
"Third Sister-in-law?" Liu Min was startled. He suddenly remembered that the person in front of him had a close relationship with Jiang Ruan's husband, Xiao Shao. His heart beat a little faster, and he hesitantly asked, "Hong …. Jin Ying Wangfei? "
Liu Min secretly thought that the outsiders were right. This person had been coveting his Third Brother's backyard for a long time. However, he still clapped his hands and said, "Exactly!"
