After Jinliu left with Yujing'er, Lan Ziyao was completely bewildered.

"Senior brother, she said you saw her body, is that true?"

Murong Jin raised an eyebrow slightly. "Really."

"Holy crap!!!"

Lan Ziyao's shocked voice rang out, "Then what happened to you??? Was it an accident or...?"

Murong Jin didn't want to discuss these things right now. "Go and rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Lan Ziyao blinked. "But I'm very curious."

Murong Jin looked at him, her voice carrying a dark and threatening tone, "If you don't sleep in the middle of the night, some things might suddenly come out and come to play with you."

Lan Ziyao straightened up. "Goodbye."

After returning to her room and lying on the bed, Murong Jin thought about what had happened that night.

Yu Jing'er?

Let's talk about tomorrow's problems tomorrow.

As for the dream I just had, it would be even better if it could continue after I fall asleep.

...

The Forbidden City.

Emperor Junlan was still working through the night to revise memorials, carefully analyzing every matter before offering his opinions.

"Your Majesty, we should rest now. We have court tomorrow morning."

After reading the last memorial, Emperor Junlan said, "Hmm."

There's still no news about what Ankesen was asked to investigate, but the abbot already sent someone to tell him about the stolen Evil Eye last time.

Moreover, the Regent did not take any action after learning about it. Emperor Junlan originally wanted to go to the Regent's Palace to ask Murong Jin how to handle this matter, but every time he sent someone to ask, the Regent was not in the palace.

The reason given was that I was too busy with official duties.

After sleeping for two hours, Di Junlan got up to wash and get dressed.

When I went to the Golden Palace, I saw a familiar figure sitting in the lower hall.

Murong Jin came to court today.

"Speak if you have something to report; otherwise, the court is adjourned!!!"

"Your subject has something to report."

"I also have..."

Murong Jin sipped her tea, listening to the other people's business. Finally, when everyone was quiet, she put down the teacup she carried with her.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to report."

Everyone else looked at Murong Jin. What could the Regent possibly have to do?

"Your Majesty, this is the result of the investigation conducted by the Lin Hexi family. I intend to bring the person behind this to justice."

After seeing it, Di Junlan felt a little shocked. This evil eye also had the ability to resurrect the dead?

Wouldn't that turn the world into a fantasy world?

"Is the Regent Prince confident about this matter in the martial arts world?"

Murong Jin said calmly, "The agreement we signed with them back then wasn't meant to be used as a shield for them."

"Very well, I will arrange for the Imperial Guards to be at your disposal. The Regent will be fully responsible for this matter."

Murong Jin nodded slightly, "Your subject obeys the decree."

Looking at Murong Jin, who had lowered his head, Li Mingzhong knew that this time, Murong Jin would wholeheartedly assist His Majesty.

Previously, when Murong Jin took office as a new official, he never showed such a lowly behavior to the late emperor.

After the court session, Li Mingzhong followed Murong Jin.

"The Regent".

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister."

Li Mingzhong: "If needed, you can call upon this old minister."

Murong Jin: "Okay."

"However, this old minister has a question: what was the Regent's action today?"

Murong Jin: "Your Majesty is someone I have high hopes for."

Li Mingzhong's brow twitched. "So, what is Your Highness's impression of His Majesty?"

"They are a good candidate at the moment."

I don't know what will happen in the future.

Li Mingzhong: "...That's good."

The two slowly walked out of the palace. Li Mingzhong asked Murong Jin one last question, "This old minister has a question. It's about the rumors that the Regent Prince prefers men. I wonder if it's true or not. If it's false, this old minister would like to dispel these rumors..."

"It's true."

Li Mingzhong almost slipped.

What? ? ?

ha? ? ?

What did he hear?

Li Mingzhong: "Regent, please don't tease this old minister."

"I would never lie."

Li Mingzhong: "I see."

"Does Your Excellency ask this to try and set me up with a partner?"

Li Mingzhong was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he meant. "I know some sons from wealthy families. Although I don't know their sexual orientation, I can still introduce them to the Regent."

"It's normal for such things to exist. After all, it's not something we can decide who we like."

"Does the Regent have a type he prefers?"

Murong Jin's lips curled up, and he chuckled lightly, "I think that Young Master Li Huan is handsome and exceptionally capable..."

Upon hearing this, Li Mingzhong exclaimed, "No, no, Your Highness, there's no need for that. My son is already engaged, so I won't tarnish your reputation..."

Damn it!

The regent has his eye on my son???

What an appalling thing that has happened!!!

We absolutely cannot let that kid associate with the Regent so casually anymore.

Murong Jin gave a puzzled "Oh," and said, "Young Master Li Huan is engaged."

"Yes, yes, yes." So you can choose someone else to like, like His Majesty.

"I see."

"What a pity. I was thinking of having him come to the Regent's Palace for a visit when he returns to the capital."

Li Mingzhong bent his knees.

Would you like to have a seat?

Which one should I sit on?

Should we sit or sit?

Regent, don't scare me!

My son is easily threatened.

Thinking back to what he knew about his son going to the Regent's Palace in the middle of the night...

Is that not what he thinks?

Although he didn't know much about homosexuality, he roughly understood some of the things involved...
