Xiao Xiyou closed the roster and nodded slightly.

"I'm taking this register back. Remember this, and don't tell anyone."

Zhou Zhizhi never imagined that there were so many traitors in the imperial court.

Are the rebels listed in the system's roster real?

[Recognizing the roster... Recognition successful]

[Reporting to the host, everyone on this roster harbors rebellious intentions.]

Zhou Zhizhi was completely shocked.

Good heavens!

I had assumed everyone was there watching, and that it would be a peaceful scene.

I never expected they would use this trick in private.

I really didn't expect that.

"Others might be okay, but why would the Minister of Works also harbor thoughts of rebellion?"

"Isn't his job pretty easy?"

I've become a bit gossipy when it comes to this system.

[Host, please wait a moment, I'll go check.]

After saying that, the system disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Zhizhi really felt that his system was just like her, both being spectators who loved to gossip.

"Let's go, what are you thinking about?"

Xiao Xiyou's voice pulled Zhou Zhizhi back to reality.

She gave an awkward laugh.

"It's nothing, let's go."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and looked at the two people, both of whom looked worried.

In fact, if you do nothing, you won't be bound by anyone.

But now it seems that the two of them were a little foolish.

However, upon closer reflection, at such an advanced age, he only became a vice minister, so he probably didn't have much ability.

What do you think?

The two sat inside the carriage, while outside, vendors bustled about on the street, their calls echoing through the air.

Zhou Zhizhi was still wondering where the system had gone and why it hadn't returned yet.

I was taken aback by that question.

"ah?"

After saying that subconsciously, it seemed like she remembered what she had just been asked.

Xiao Xiyou wasn't in a hurry either.

His expression was indifferent, but a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He was very handsome, unlike the eldest prince, who was kind and gentle, and unlike the third prince, who was arrogant and domineering.

Xiao Xiyou gives the impression that although he is a very good person, he is ultimately a Confucian scholar or an immortal, and is very distant from him.

Xiao Xiyou patiently added, "Do you think he would lie?"

After hesitating for a moment, Zhou Zhizhi shook her head as hard as she could: "The Third Prince has already made up his mind, isn't it true?"

"I also feel that this doesn't seem like a fake."

Logically speaking, if the Left Vice Minister truly harbored rebellious ambitions, he wouldn't have done such a thing.

Keeping these rosters will only cause trouble in the long run.

She said very seriously, "I'm willing to believe him, but we still need to be careful."

“Consort Lan is his daughter. No matter what, this kinship cannot be severed.”

"If possible, we can also plead with the Emperor on his behalf."

Xiao Xiyou agreed with Zhou Zhizhi's suggestion and nodded.

He slowly said, "What you said is true. Father Emperor has always liked Consort Lan. Now that she has been betrayed, he must be feeling terrible."

"Let's talk about it after everything has settled down."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhizhi quickly shook her head.

"No!"

Her tone was very firm.

Xiao Xiyou was stunned for a moment.

Some people didn't understand what "impossible" meant.

Zhou Zhizhi quickly explained, "The Second Prince must have figured out what happened today, right?"

"Although the Emperor was very angry about Consort Lan's betrayal, she was still someone he had spent decades with day and night."

"If this matter is thoroughly investigated and the Emperor executes Consort Lan in a fit of anger, then perhaps..."

There are some things that should not be said.

After all, they are father and son.

Everyone understands perfectly well what needs to be understood and clear.

Xiao Xiyou nodded in strong agreement: "What you said makes a lot of sense."

"Then let's go to the palace to report back and say that we haven't found anything yet, and buy some more time."

Xiao Xiyou is a shrewd person.

He was able to rise from an unfavored prince in that cold, cruel palace to become the prince he is today.

They certainly have some skills.

How did you know?

Xiao Xiyou seemed to suddenly remember something, and stared intently at the person sitting in front of him.

It was as if they had discovered something really fun.

He never showed the slightest interest in anything.

But this little girl in front of me is indeed quite impressive.

Zhou Zhizhi touched the tip of her nose guiltily and gave an awkward laugh.

"Your Highness, that's not quite right."

"You know that I have been working for His Majesty all along, right?"

"How could the people around the Emperor be a bunch of fools?"

She thought that after saying these words, Xiao Xiyou would no longer pursue the matter.

But I never expected that this person would take an inch and then a mile.

He rested one hand on the car window, propping up his head, and stared at her with his almond-shaped eyes, feigning indifference.

"you?"

"I used to think you might be some kind of fool, but now it seems I was wrong?"

Zhou Zhizhi was utterly speechless.

These things have nothing to do with me.

It was the Second Prince who dragged him into this mess, so why is he saying such heartless things now?

That's utterly heartless!

Even if you're angry inside, you can't say it out loud.

The Second Prince is a very direct and straightforward person.

His temper and personality are no longer as restrained as before.

"Your Highness, what are you saying? My sincerity towards you is as clear as the sun and moon!"

Zhou Zhizhi is now immune to these shameless remarks and can say them off easily.

But it seems the second prince has already become immune.

Hearing this, he smiled faintly, pretending to be very interested.

"oh?"

"Is Zhizhi deeply in love with me?"

Zhou Zhizhi had just closed her mouth when her heart skipped a beat.

He turned his head around incredulously, looking as if he had eaten shit.

I saw Xiao Xiyou pretending to be very moved, which was absolutely disgusting.

"Your Highness, please stop making fun of me, okay?"

Xiao Xiyou then let out a soft scoff.

Anyway, he's the kind of person who never trusts the people around him.

Just when Zhou Zhizhi thought the matter was over and the chapter was closed,

Unexpectedly, that person pressed his advantage and attacked again.

Then, as if he had remembered something, he turned his head slightly.
