Chapter 86 The emperor knew that he was close to me, so why did he dare to give him power?

Sheng Nianyao gritted her teeth, but she was a junior after all, so she couldn't say anything too harsh.

Sheng Hongyu lowered his head: "Nian Yao, you are right. I am sorry for her. I will definitely make it up to her in the future."

Sheng Nianyao turned her back: "I don't know if Third Uncle is trying to coax me, but this matter started because of you. If I can't make Aunt calm down, I, I..."

Sheng Hongyu knew what she wanted to say and hummed: "I know, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

After saying this, he left.

Sheng Nianyao looked at his departing back, feeling very uncomfortable.

She knew that no matter whether she or Liu went to Duke Qin's Mansion, they would probably hurt Sister Chu's heart.

Sister Chu made things like this just to vent her aunt's anger. If the person she was protecting stepped forward to mediate, it would be somewhat humiliating to Sister Chu.

But Sheng Hongyu is her third uncle, and she is a daughter of the Sheng family. It is impossible for her to watch the Sheng family completely offend so many people...

Even if my aunt doesn't think about herself, she can't just sit there and watch for the sake of my cousins.

Sheng Nianyao felt very annoyed when she thought of this. If she really went, how would Sister Chu look at her?

Would they think she was a bad person who could watch her aunt being bullied? Would they think they were ungrateful?

The more he thought about Sheng Nianyao, the more irritated he became. He sat in the yard, looking up at the moon in the sky, his mind full of Chu Yian's tender and gentle face.

As she thought about it, her face turned slightly red. When the wind blew, the blush disappeared, and then she stood up and went back to her room.

…

Chu Yian was so engrossed in writing the storybook with Qin Sheng last night that he inevitably stayed up late again.

But before he could stay up too late, Qin Sheng sent him off to rest.

He himself slightly revised the storybook, corrected the typos and some sentences that were not very fluent, and then had the revised manuscript sent to the bookstore.

Qin Sheng is now looking forward to the rest of the story of "The Great Qin Empire" more and more.

He became more and more curious about the various sects that Chu Yian mentioned, and wanted to know which sects there were in the history she knew.

Chu Yian mentioned a few things last night, which made Qin Sheng feel more confused and puzzled.

In the history that Chu Yian knew, Confucius and Mencius both existed.

In addition to Confucius and Mencius, there are many others.

But in this world there are also Confucius and Mencius, who also left behind many doctrines. After comparison, the classics and doctrines left behind are almost the same.

But apart from Confucianism, there are no schools of thought such as Mohism, Eclecticism, Nominalism, and Yin-Yang School as Chu Yian mentioned.

Although some similar ones can be found, the names are slightly different.

Qin Sheng didn't understand the key point and didn't know why two different worlds could encounter such a coincidence.

Perhaps because of the feudal background, the development of the world also shows some of the same laws.

Qin Sheng was thinking about this question while practicing martial arts. After he finished a whole set of sword techniques, he found that Chu Yian was standing in the corridor and watching him with great interest.

Meeting Qin Sheng's gaze, Chu Yian gave him a thumbs-up: "Looks good, so handsome."

Qin Sheng smiled and put the sword back into the scabbard: "I see you don't think I'm good-looking. As long as a person practices martial arts, you can say they are good-looking."

Chu Yian did not deny: "The movements are clean and neat, graceful and elegant, how can it not be beautiful? You don't understand, I am looking at a feeling, a feeling! It's that kind of flowing feeling that is so powerful."

Qin Sheng laughed. How could he not know what Chu Yian wanted to see?

He put down his sword and looked at Chu Yian, skipping the topic: "What are your plans for today?"

Chu Yian thought for a moment and said, "Mrs. Sheng and Nian Yao should come to see me in the next few days."

Qin Sheng hummed: "Then do you want to see them?"

Chu Yian thought for a moment and curled his lips: "Why not? I just hope that Madam Sheng and Nian Yao can come a few days later, so that they won't rush around trying to clean up Sheng Hongyu's mess as soon as something happens."

It is definitely impossible to ask Liu and Sheng Nianyao to ignore Sheng Hongyu.

The historical background is here, and it's not the modern era where Chu Yian lives. If he stays away from it, many things won't affect him.

If Qin Sheng's group of good brothers were allowed to attack the Sheng family wantonly, Sheng Nianyao and Liu would be greatly affected, as would the other people in the family.

Sheng Hongyu can be said to have brought it upon himself, but there is no need for them to put themselves in danger because of Sheng Hongyu's mistake.

However, Chu Yian was still a little puzzled. He looked at Qin Sheng and asked, "Um, Qin Sheng, I was just saying it casually yesterday. Will the Fourth Prince and his men really take action against the Sheng family?"

"Sheng Hongyu is the Minister of Revenue after all. He holds a high position and cannot be moved at will."

"If we really want to touch him, if we are too harsh, it will cause dissatisfaction from the emperor, and it will also affect you..."

After all, he was his own court official. If Sheng Hongyu was secretly removed, the emperor would not be able to say anything as long as there was no evidence. At most, he would just give him a few warnings.

Chu Yian was worried that their actions were too blatant and would cause unnecessary trouble for Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng was a little surprised, and there was a hint of shock in his eyes when he looked at Chu Yian.

Chu Yian was puzzled and touched his face: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Qin Sheng shook his head: "No, I'm just shocked that you can think of this."

Chu Yian: ...

Look down on her?

Qin Sheng explained: "Don't worry, they will act with discretion."

"That's good."

Chu Yian felt relieved, his eyes rolled around and he looked around. There was no one there, and the servants were all far away, so he couldn't hear what they were saying.

She quickly approached Qin Sheng and waved, "Come down a little."

Qin Sheng raised his eyebrows and bent down to get closer to Chu Yian.

Chu Yian looked around like a monkey, and then asked curiously in his ear: "Well, I heard that the Fourth Prince likes you very much."

"Since you like it so much, then, then Your Majesty..."

Chu Yian was timid, and even though he lowered his voice so much, he still didn't dare to speak too clearly.

But Qin Sheng understood.

Qin Sheng understood Chu Yian's meaning: ...

Qin Sheng stood up straight and moved away from her, pursing his lips: "Do you know how presumptuous you are?"

Chu Yian apologized quickly: "I'm sorry."

Qin Sheng was in a complicated mood. Once again, he remained silent because of Chu Yian's innocence. Fearing that she would continue to think nonsense, he patiently explained: "In the struggle for power, some things are just for observation, and some words are just for listening. Don't take them too seriously."

If the Fourth Prince really wanted to kill the Emperor and take the throne for him, how could Qi Ze dare to do so? And how could he be willing to do so?

Chu Yian just thought things were too simple. Many things cannot be influenced by emotions.

Even though Qi Ze holds great power, he is still too young to confront the emperor.

Chu Yian understood what Qin Sheng said and was very disappointed: "It's not your fault, he is too useless."

Qin Sheng: ...

Qin Sheng really couldn't understand what was going on in Chu Yian's head, and couldn't help but laugh softly twice.

Even though he had no feelings for Qi Ze, he had to speak objectively and fairly: "You said that the emperor knew that Qi Ze and I were close, so why did he dare to give power to him?"

"Isn't it just that he feels Qi Ze can't get out of his control?"
