"Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Justice, conduct a secret investigation. If there are any problems, report directly to His Majesty."

Li Huan thought the beginning was normal, but then he was reporting directly to His Majesty?

"Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Murong Jin smiled slightly, "Just do as I say."

Li Huan didn't understand what he was supposed to do, but he would naturally do whatever he was told, "Okay."

The Ministry of Revenue has been thoroughly investigated, but there are bound to be some who slip through the net. As for the other two departments, there must be something shady going on, which is why the prince sent him to investigate.

Although everyone calls him the Junior Prime Minister, he is not actually the Prime Minister, but works in the Ministry of Supervision.

"By the way, Minister of Personnel, investigate further."

Li Huan: "Yes, sir."

The Minister of Personnel—that's a position higher than the heads of other departments.

If even the prince has said so, then there must be something wrong with this Minister.

The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the appointment, dismissal, evaluation, promotion, demotion, transfer, and conferment of honors of all civil officials throughout the country.

Those who wield great power probably have countless affairs to attend to, and there are also vengeful spirits who have been wronged.

"By the way, this matter is being investigated secretly. Can I borrow someone? After all, my martial arts skills aren't very good."

Murong Jin glanced up at him as she drank her tea. "Borrow from whom?"

Li Huan's eyes immediately lit up, "Ling'er!"

I want to borrow her!

Murong Jin's lips twitched. "If you ask her if she's willing, then let her assist you with the investigation."

Okay~

Li Huan was overjoyed. Ling'er! That girl would never have imagined this.

After drinking a pot of tea, Li Huan left the Regent's Palace.

A figure flashed in the distance outside the mansion and disappeared into the night.

The Imperial Study.

"You said that Prime Minister Li's son didn't come out for an hour after entering the Regent's Palace?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Regent's Palace is heavily guarded. Any movement will be detected. I cannot get in; I am monitoring from the outside."

Emperor Junlan looked at the memorials from this morning and said, "It's alright, let's see what they want to do."

As for the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be two months away, and his father's brother, his uncle, Emperor Cheng'an, will also return from his fiefdom.

The only king who was not of the same surname was Murong Jin's father, Murong Zhi, the Prince of Zhenbei.

After he ascended the throne, the Prince of Zhenbei never appeared in the capital again. Although he held the title, most people knew that the Prince of Zhenbei had no real power and was just a title without substance.

The number one restaurant in Beijing.

A man dressed in purple sat by the window, looking down at the still bustling street below.

This is a prosperity that Jin'an has never experienced.

"Your Majesty, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, envoys will come to offer their congratulations to Emperor Da Cheng."

The man in purple: "Yes, I understand."

In the south there is Dacheng, in the north there is Jin'an, and in the west there is Meng.

As for the rest, they were all small vassal states and dependent states. The others were the kingdoms established by the Hu people, located on the border of Dacheng and Jin'an, with treacherous mountain terrain.

"How is Murong Jin?"

"Your Majesty, since the Regent returned to the capital, he has spent most of his time at his residence, except when he attends court."

The man said, "I need to find an opportunity to see him."

"yes."

Three days later.

Murong Jin had just gotten up and changed her clothes when she heard Yi Er calling out, "Master, someone is looking for you."

"Um?"

He called himself Jin Nanzhou.

Murong Jin paused in adjusting her clothes. "Where?"

Yi Er: "Currently outside the mansion."

Murong Jin: "Let him in, come directly to the study."

"Yi Yi, push me to the study."

Both one and two: "Yes!"

Murong Jin sat in the room and looked up at the person outside the door after hearing footsteps.

"Jin Nanzhou greets the Regent."

Looking at the person not far in front of him, Murong Jin placed his teacup on the table. "No need for formalities."

After Jin Nanzhou straightened up, he looked at the man in the wheelchair, a hint of annoyance and apology flashing in his eyes.

"These are healing medicines I brought from Jin'an."

"Hope this helps your legs."

Murong Jin stared straight at him, then moved her head slightly, and Yi Er immediately took it.

"You're too kind."

Jin Nanzhou stood there, saying, "If it weren't for Nanzhou, the Regent's legs would be healthy right now."

Murong Jin: "..."

She wouldn't have saved Jin Nanzhou if it weren't for the things around him. Besides, her leg injury wasn't caused by Jin Nanzhou.

Since he feels guilty, we can take advantage of him.

Is there anything else?

Seeing his cold expression, Jin Nanzhou knew that this was his nature. "Nanzhou has come here to visit Emperor Dacheng."

Murong Jin raised her voice slightly at the end, "Oh?"

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I've come to pay my respects."

Murong Jin: "Mm."

In that case, the Mongol Kingdom will also send people over. As for the other vassal states, they usually won't disobey orders and come over as long as the Great Khan doesn't speak.

Seeing his cold face, Jin Nanzhou finally couldn't help but ask, "Can I stay here with you for the time being?"

Although Murong Jin sometimes seemed difficult to get along with, he was only outwardly cold. When he was injured, this man even personally gave him medicine, though he just tossed it to him and left. But only he noticed that his wound hurt...

He wanted to be friends with Murong Jin as long as he didn't attack Jin'an.

After all, he had witnessed Murong Jin's strength on the battlefield; he was someone he couldn't afford to offend, and his martial arts were ridiculously high.

"I'll arrange it for you with Yi Er."
