"Crack." Accompanied by a dull impact, Hu Zi heard the sound of his ribs breaking.

"Ah, I'm going to kill you." Hu Zi fell to the ground, curled up, and could only vent his hatred by talking.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth vigorously, and looked at Emperor Hui with a ferocious face, with endless hatred bursting from his eyes.

"Kill him for me," he shouted.

After hearing his order, his men raised their swords and chopped at Emperor Hui.

[Daddy, be careful behind you]

[These people are so shameless, they actually wanted to launch a sneak attack]

After hearing Mu Nanyan's reminder, Emperor Hui went forward without fear.

He has a solid foundation in martial arts, and these thugs are no match for him.

He wanted to show Yan'er how her father subdued those bad guys.

After receiving Emperor Hui's order, the secret guards who were following in the dark swarmed out and surrounded those people.

The battle is about to begin.

Emperor Hui was as fast as lightning and as quick as the wind. He kicked those thugs hard one by one.

The gangster still wanted to get up and was subdued by the secret guards.

Then, Emperor Hui kicked another gangster onto Hu Zi and pinned him on top of him, causing Hu Zi to faint.

Before he fainted, he was thinking, it was unlucky to go out today.

Seeing Emperor Hui being so ferocious, the leading man helped Hu Zi up and planned to escape with Hu Zi and the others.

Make harsh remarks before escaping.

"How dare you resist our boss? Do you know who our boss is?"

"My eldest brother's cousin is Concubine Shu, and his uncle is Prime Minister Xiao. You just wait for us."

After saying that, he ran away with the group of people.

Hu Zi is actually Prime Minister Xiao’s nephew. It seems that Prime Minister Xiao’s family is very powerful in Kyoto.

[Hahaha, if you have the guts, don’t run]

[He is worse than anyone else in doing bad things, but he is afraid of troubles but escapes faster than anyone else]

Seeing those people being beaten and running away, Mu Nanyan couldn't help but gloat over their misfortune.

[It turns out that he is a relative of Concubine Shu, and is as arrogant as Concubine Shu]

[Daddy, you are so handsome. You knocked them to the ground and they couldn’t get up.]

Handsome? Are you praising him?

He admitted that he was good-looking and capable.

He was very pleased to hear his daughter looking at him with admiration.

Emperor Hui, who appears to be serious on the surface, is actually a bit arrogant in his heart.

Prime Minister Xiao, Concubine Shu, he remembered them.

He asked the secret guards to investigate some of the things they did, and believed that there would be answers soon.

When the stall owner saw those people being driven away by Emperor Hui, he expressed his gratitude to them repeatedly.

"Thank you, sir. Those people will probably hold a grudge and I'm afraid they will take revenge on you." The stall owner looked worried.

[Don't worry, my father is so powerful, he is naturally not afraid of those people]

[Aren’t they just Prime Minister Xiao and Concubine Shu? Can’t my father handle them?]

"Don't worry about that. I know what I am doing."

"I haven't asked you your name yet, sir?" the stall owner asked again.

Emperor Hui hesitated for a while and said his name.

"Xie Jingtian." His real name is Mu Jingtian.

"Thank you, Master. I am Pei Ruoxuan."

[Pei Ruoxuan? I seem to have seen him somewhere before]

[Yes, I remember now. Isn’t that person’s name on your memorial?]

Emperor Hui was shocked. What was going on?

Is he going to run in the election?

Emperor Hui asked tentatively: "I see that Master Pei is handsome and talented. From your accent, I don't think you are from Kyoto. Are you here to participate in the election?"

The man had a handsome appearance, with clear dark brown eyes and a shy smile on his lips.

"Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, sir. I was originally going to participate in the election, but was notified at the last minute that I am not eligible to participate."

"My family is already poor, and now I have no money to go back home. I can only earn some money by selling calligraphy and paintings."

I see.

He saw his name on the letter, but it wasn’t him?

Is there someone behind this?

It seems that he made the right decision to come here, Emperor Hui thought to himself.

It would be better to take him back. He wanted to see what expression the person behind the scenes would have when he saw Mr. Pei.

"If Mr. Pei doesn't mind, you can stay at my house for a few days. I am willing to buy these calligraphy and paintings of yours."

"Since it is the young master's invitation, I will respectfully obey your command." Pei Ruoxuan echoed.

The guards sorted out Pei Ruoxuan's calligraphy and paintings and placed them on the carriage.

Emperor Hui held Mu Nanyan in his arms and took Pei Ruoxuan to a restaurant called Ruyixuan.

In the restaurant box, Emperor Hui asked Pei Ruoxuan many questions about how to be a person and govern the country.

Pei Ruoxuan talked freely about these things and expressed his unique insights.

Judging from his words and deeds, although he came from a poor family, he was an upright, talented, thoughtful person, and not a pedantic person.

He was also very humble and would not become complacent because of Emperor Hui's praise.

Emperor Hui was very satisfied with his performance.

How great it would be if such a person could become his subject and help him solve his problems.

[Pei Ruoxuan is good-looking, talented, and not arrogant. This is rare]

[Seeing you guys chatting today, I want to join in]

[Daddy, you have to seize this talent and not let it slip away.]

Yes, it seems he has to consider how to arrange for Pei Ruoxuan.

On summer nights, a breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness to this hot summer.

A carriage slowly entered the palace wall from outside the palace, and the sound of horse hooves broke the silence in the room.
