In Jingzhou City.

Crowds of people from all directions rushed towards the remote inn where Zhao Ritian was.

The streets here were completely blocked off.

All the ministers, civil and military officials of the court, and the two prime ministers heard the news and rushed here like crazy.

After all, the emperor has gone there in person, so how can they just sit at home?

You have to be proactive and go visit this legendary figure in person - Zhao Ritian!

When Kong Lingda and Yang Yingguang's carriages arrived in front of the inn.

The empress had already ended her talks with Zhao Ritian and returned to Gong Qin Yuan to settle the accounts.

Kong Lingda had a amiable smile on his face. He waved to the scholars around him and leisurely got off the carriage.

Some of the servants were in an uproar and immediately shouted hysterically: "Prime Minister Kong, Prime Minister Kong, Prime Minister Kong!"

If I can get the appreciation of the Left Prime Minister, I will definitely be able to get an official position!

Under the leadership of Tuo, the quick-witted scholars also shouted loudly.

For a time, Kong Lingda was in great glory.

On the other side, Yang Yingguang seemed a little low-key. With a professional fake smile on his face, he jumped off the carriage and bumped into Kong Lingda.

He bowed respectfully and said, "Left Prime Minister, you are here too?"

Kong Lingda glanced at him and returned the greeting lightly: "Your Majesty is here, how can I not come?"

"I've wanted to have a conversation with Zhao Sheng for a long time, but unfortunately I don't have the chance!"

Kong Lingda sighed and seemed to be very regretful.

Yang Yingguang said with a forced smile, "Zhao Sheng is here, and Prime Minister Kong can finally get what he wants!"

"Ha ha--"

The two smiled at each other.

Yang Yingguang bowed slightly, extended his hand and said, "Left Prime Minister, please go first."

Kong Lingda said cheerfully, "Right Prime Minister, you go first."

Yang Yingguang shook his head. "How can this be possible? The Left Prime Minister is a key minister of our dynasty, highly respected and virtuous. He should go first!"

Kong Lingda laughed even more. "Since you, the Right Prime Minister, have said so, well, I will go in first."

Yang Yingguang followed closely behind, always half a body length behind Kong Lingda.

The scene of Kong Lingda and Yang Yingguang being humble to each other was seen by those scholars who were ignorant of the world. They praised the two men for their noble character and praised the clean atmosphere in the court, which secretly increased their reputation.

After the two entered the inn, it became even more lively.

Civil and military officials came forward one after another to pay their respects.

Good job!

This small inn is comparable to the Qiankun Hall used for grand court meetings.

If Yan Jiaoran hadn't left, he could probably have attended court here directly.

Han Changli and the other two stood outside the house with their chests straight.

Keep everyone out.

The reason is very simple. My master is seriously ill and is very weak. He also had a two-hour meeting with His Majesty in the afternoon and cannot bear to be disturbed.

The empress had been waiting outside the house for an hour. Who among the officials dared to use their official power?

I can only wait obediently in the inn.

Kong Lingda and Yang Yingguang came together and asked to see Zhao Ritian.

Unexpectedly, the door opened.

A middle-aged man appeared before him.

His face was pale and slightly purple, like a dead leaf about to wither.

His eye sockets were deeply sunken, making him look terrifying.

However, his eyes were firm and sparkled with wisdom.

Done!

This must be the real one.

At first glance, he is obviously a Confucian sage with great ambitions but unfulfilled ones.

It’s a pity that such a person is seriously ill.

God is jealous of talented people.

Kong Lingda and Yang Yingguang had made up their minds and bowed slightly, saying, "I have long admired you, Master Zhao!"

"Famous, well-known!"

However, Zhao Ritian bowed solemnly to the two of them.

"No, no!" Kong Lingda and Yang Yingguang reached out to support Zhao Ritian at the same time.

Zhao Ritian still insisted, "Yes! Thank you two Prime Ministers for your hard work over the years!"

The words fell.

Kong Lingda's eyes immediately became wet.

A close friend!

Only Zhao Sheng understands my suffering and the grievances I have suffered this year!

Yang Yingguang breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Zhao Ritian is a friend, not an enemy.

Otherwise, at this time, any word he said could make him lose face and embarrass himself.

Kong Lingda replied, "Zhao Sheng, it's getting late. I guess you haven't had dinner yet?"

"I wonder if I could dine with you?"

Zhao Ritian looked at the two of them, his face flushed, and said excitedly: "Since the Prime Minister has such a kind intention, how can Zhao refuse?"

"My two Lords, all the gentlemen, today, we will stay in this inn and not leave until we are drunk!"

"Don't go home until you're drunk!"

A deafening shout rang out in the inn.

An unprecedented and extremely grand banquet was held with this inn as the center.

…

A five-star hotel under the name of the Zongrenfu.

The appearance of Zhao Ritian attracted the attention of people all over the world, and no one paid attention to "Qin Shimei", the out-of-date internet celebrity who was under house arrest.

Qin Yuan could finally go home with his wife and servants in a grand manner.

No matter how good the place is, it can’t compare to your own doghouse.

As soon as Qin Yuan got home, he collapsed on the bed. How could he describe how great he was?

Who would have thought that before he could enjoy it for long, Yan Jiaoran and Murong Yanran came to kill him.

Yan Jiaoran put her hands on her hips, blocking Qin Yuan in the room, and said angrily.

"You bastard! Who allowed you to come back?"

"If someone else sees this, what will I say or how will I explain it?"

"Find a way to get yourself out. I'll issue an order and you can return home openly!"

"You're asking for trouble!"

“…”

Yan Jiaoran's mouth was like a machine gun, scolding non-stop, not giving Qin Yuan any chance to quibble.

Qin Yuan knew he was in the wrong, so he could only listen to her chatter patiently.

Yan Jiaoran saw Qin Yuan lowering his head, as if he was admitting defeat.

In an instant, the serfs became masters.

Yan Jiaoran was so excited!

I...I!

The more she spoke, the more excited she became. She took out all the grievances she had suffered in the past few days on Qin Yuan twice as much, and scolded him for half an hour for this.

This stupid woman, when did she develop such lung capacity that she could speak so many words in one breath without even taking a breath?

Qin Yuan was so exhausted that he had no desire to live.

Only then did Yan Jiaoran feel satisfied. She took a few breaths and began to rest.

"Why are you here?" Qin Yuan finally found an opportunity to change the subject.

Yan Jiaoran put her hands on her hips, gasping for breath. She hadn't recovered yet and had no time to speak.

Qin Yuan: “…”

Stupid woman, you are so cruel!
