Everyone looked uneasy and kept looking outside the hall.

Someone whispered, "She has been promoted to the seventh rank, why is she still guarding the Grand Gold Palace?"

"How did she get promoted to seventh rank so quickly? When did she get promoted?"

"In my opinion, that person wanted her to come. Everyone should think about whether they have done anything wrong recently before going to court. If so, they should quickly come up with countermeasures."

After these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

All the civil and military officials were wondering if they had done anything wrong recently. Some of them turned increasingly pale the more they thought about it, some broke out in cold sweats and trembled all over, and some turned terribly pale as if they were about to die on the spot.

Suddenly, there was a loud thud and someone fainted on the ground.

The Minister of Rites saw someone lying on the ground beside him and exclaimed, "The Minister of Revenue has fainted. Call the imperial physician."

The eunuchs guarding outside the hall hurried to call for the imperial physician.

Then there was another thud.

The Minister of Rites turned around and looked at the ground behind him, and exclaimed again: "Oh, the Minister of Works has also fainted. Where is the imperial physician? Has the imperial physician arrived?"

Then there was another bang.

The Minister of Rites saw the Minister of War sitting on the ground: "The Minister of War is also dizzy..."

"I'm not dizzy." The Minister of War wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said weakly, "I'm not dizzy. I just feel unwell."

At this time, a eunuch outside shouted loudly: "The emperor has arrived."

Boom——

The Minister of War rolled his eyes and suddenly lost consciousness.

This time, I really fainted.

The Taijin Palace was in chaos.

The left prime minister quickly ordered the guards to carry the three ministers who had fainted to the court room to avoid a disrespectful incident in front of the palace.

All the civil and military officials knelt down quickly and said, "Welcome to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

The emperor walked into the hall just in time to see the guards carrying the ministers away. Puzzled eyes flashed, "What happened to the three ministers?"

The left prime minister replied, "Your Majesty, the three ministers suddenly felt unwell and fainted."

All the civil and military officials present knew very well that the three ministers must have done something wrong and were afraid that Mu Nanjin would expose it, so they scared themselves and fainted.

"Three people are suddenly unwell?" The emperor frowned. "Why are they suddenly sick at the same time? Have you summoned the imperial physician? Go find the imperial physician to see them."

"The imperial physician has been summoned."

Then, the long-lost familiar voice sounded in the hall again.

【They pretended to be dizzy.】

[Humph, they can fool everyone in the hall, but they can't fool my sharp eyes. ]

[She dared to pretend to faint in front of the palace because she had done something bad and was too embarrassed to see the emperor.]

[Tsk tsk tsk, if you are so timid, don't do bad things. If you do bad things but don't have the courage to face them, you are a coward. ]

[Oh, the Minister of Revenue is such a thief, he actually pretended to be unconscious and secretly asked the eunuch to inform people outside the palace. Should I arrest them? ]

[Forget it, the fact that the Minister of Revenue embezzled money will be discovered sooner or later, and the stolen money from the treasury is not mine, so I won't meddle in it, lest the emperor wants to promote me to a higher position, which would be a waste of money.]

Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "!!!!"

The person who embezzled money turned out to be their Lord Shangshu, no wonder they couldn't find out.

Civil and military officials: "..."

It’s over, the Minister of Revenue is completely finished.

The emperor was more troubled by one thing than the Minister of Revenue's embezzlement, and that was the fact that Mu Nanjin did not like to be promoted, which was really a headache.

It would have been great if Mu Nanjin had focused on power. Not only would the matter of the Minister of Revenue have been uncovered long ago, but the rebellion of the Fourth Prince would not have been dragged on until now without any progress.

Commander Gu, who was guarding behind the emperor, left the hall quietly and went to capture the Minister of Revenue and the eunuch.

The emperor coughed lightly and said, "Since we have already found the imperial physician, let the three ministers be treated by the imperial physician. My dear ministers, please stand up."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." After the right prime minister stood up, he immediately reported to the emperor what had happened in recent days.

Mu Nanjin saw that the government had started to discuss politics again in the hall. He yawned lazily and his eyelids began to twitch again.

Until she heard the emperor calling: "Ji Jiu..."

Mu Nanjin suddenly woke up.

[Jijiu? The Jijiu of the Imperial Academy? Has he come to the court? ]

The civil and military officials who were originally uneasy became alert after hearing Mu Nanjin's voice mention the chief priest, and everyone looked at the chief priest standing in the center of the hall.

The chief priest felt his scalp tingling as everyone was staring at him. Why did the little ancestor outside mention him for no reason?

He hasn't done anything wrong recently, but it's possible that Mu Nanjin will mention things from the past.

The chief priest felt a little uneasy. He quickly went through in his mind all the wrong things he had done since he became an official.

[Why didn't I think of him before? With Jijiu here, my new store will definitely be a big hit. ]

The chief priest secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if his secret was not revealed. It would be better if his secret was not revealed.

Sooner or later, he will be scared to death by this little girl.

But what shop was she talking about? Why did she invite him as a guest?

The emperor and all the civil and military officials were also very curious.

[Alas, I am not familiar with the chief priest. Even if I invite him to my restaurant, he may not come.]

[By the way, if I tell him that I have a rare copy in my store, he should come, right? ]

“Ahem…”

The emperor nearly choked to death on his own saliva.

All the civil and military officials could not help but look at him.

Eunuch Yuan asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Jiujiu, I want to know how many girls have registered at the Imperial College?"

The chief priest bowed and said, "In reply to the emperor, there are already 553 girls who have signed up for admission, but each has a different level of knowledge, so they need to be divided into classes. After the division, the teachers will be too busy to handle it, so we need to recruit more talented teachers to teach in the Imperial Academy."

"More than 500 people..." The emperor's eyes lit up: "So many people have signed up."

"Yes."

What the chief priest did not say was that more than half of the 500 girls had fathers from the Imperial Guard.

[There are only about 500 girls studying... so few...]

[We need to hire more people so that our business can really flourish. ]

[Alas, the civil and military officials are not strong enough. ]

[I just want to ask you if you don't let your daughter study and bury her talent, can you live with your conscience? ]

The emperor, civil and military officials: "..."

[It can only be said that the emperor's methods were not strong enough. ]

【The people of Daqian country valued boys over girls. If they wanted to thoroughly implement the policy of sending all girls to school, they had to issue an imperial decree, ordering officials' children, regardless of gender, to study and learn calligraphy. If an official did not send his children to school, I would dismiss him or demote him. I do not believe anyone would dare to disobey the imperial decree. If officials' children went to school, it would slowly influence the people. Only in this way could people believe that girls could also study and take examinations.】

After hearing this, the emperor's eyes changed when he looked at the civil and military officials.

Civil and military officials: "..."

The chief priest sighed in his heart, the academy had to be expanded again.

"Know."

The emperor stood up.

Eunuch Yuan hurriedly shouted, "Dismiss the court."

[Wow, the court is finally over. Long live the emperor.]

Mu Nanjin led Xu Cheng and the others away. When they walked out of the palace, they happened to meet Princess Xueyu who was returning to the palace after school.

Princess Xueyu, who was sitting in the carriage, heard the maid outside the carriage say that she saw Mu Nanjin leaving the palace, and quickly opened the curtain: "Mu Nanjin, I finally see you."

She once sent people to the Duwei Mansion to look for Mu Nanjin, but they said that Mu Nanjin was out on official business.

Mu Nanjin clasped his fists and said, "Greetings, Princess."

Princess Xueyu waved excitedly: "Hurry up and get in the car, and go sit in my palace."

Mu Nanjin originally wanted to refuse, but changed her mind when she remembered that the other party was a princess.

She let Xu Cheng and the others go home by themselves, then got in the car and asked, "Princess, are you studying in the Imperial Academy?"

"Of course I have. Father finally got the ministers to agree to open a girls' school. As his daughter, how can I not go? It's just that going to school is so boring." Princess Xueyu was puzzled: "Why are you asking this? Do you want to go to school too?"

"In no mood."

[I hate studying the most, so how could I possibly ask for trouble?]

The civil and military officials passing by: "..."

You don't like reading, so how can you ask other girls to read?

Mu Nanjin told Princess Xueyu about opening a teahouse: "I would like to invite you to my shop on the opening day."

Princess Xueyu readily agreed: "Okay, I will definitely go there then, and I will bring a few noble ladies with me."

Mu Nanjin was waiting for her to say this.

When they were leaving, Mu Nanjin took out three pills and put them in Princess Xueyu's hand: "Anti-drug pills can cure all kinds of poisons."

Princess Xueyu accepted the pill without any hesitation.

Mu Nanjin left the palace and when passing by the Minister of Revenue's Mansion, he saw that the palace guards had surrounded the entire mansion, and the people passing by were all watching.

"Isn't this the residence of the Minister of Revenue? Why are there so many guards surrounding it? What happened?"

"I heard that the Minister of Revenue has committed a crime, and now everyone in the palace will be sent to jail."

"What did you do wrong?"

"have no idea."

"So being an official is not necessarily a good thing. It is glorious when you are in a good position, but if you fall into trouble one day, you may become a pariah, and live a life worse than us ordinary people."

At this time, all the people in the mansion were driven out and then put into prison vans.

The women cried and protested their innocence, they did not believe that the Minister of Revenue had committed any crime.

The male relatives seemed to think that they could still be saved and behaved very calmly. After entering the prison and seeing the Minister of Revenue, they quickly lowered their voices and said, "Dad, we have sent people to find your friends. They will definitely be able to help you prove your innocence and take us out of prison."

The Minister of Revenue shook his head: "No one will come to save us, and they don't dare to save me."

Mu Nanjin's inner thoughts let everyone know that he was stealing from the company, and no one in the court dared to help him.

The male relatives finally became afraid.

"Why didn't they come to rescue you? Aren't you best friends with those adults? They just watched us get locked up like that?"

"Is this what they call when a tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when a wall falls, everyone pushes it down? The world is truly fickle."

The head of the Ministry of Revenue had a gloomy face: "If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."

"Dad, are we destined to have our house confiscated?"

The eyes of the Minister of Revenue turned cold: "No, as long as the emperor can't find evidence, the emperor can't do anything to me."

Although Mu Nanjin said that he had embezzled money, as long as he did not admit it, the emperor could not do anything to him without finding any evidence, because the emperor could not convict him based on Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

But the evidence of his guilt is hard to find unless Mu Nanjin reveals it to the emperor.

Judging from the fact that he is still able to stay safely in prison, Mu Nanjin must not have told him everything, so the next step will be easy.

As long as he told Mu Nanjin that her true feelings would be revealed, then Mu Nanjin would not say anything nonsense in her heart, or even tell others the evidence of his guilt.

He had already arranged this matter, and it is estimated that the man has arrived at Mu Nanjin's doorstep now.

At the same time, Mu Nanjin returned home and saw a middle-aged warrior sitting in the hall drinking tea.

The middle-aged warrior saw Mu Nanjin coming back and stood up suddenly: "Miss Mu."

Butler Xu Bo said to Mu Nanjin, "Miss, he said he has something very important to discuss with you, so I let him in."

Mu Nanjin nodded and asked the middle-aged warrior, "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

The middle-aged warrior said, "My name is Guang Liu. You may not believe what I am about to tell you, but it is true."

"You tell me what it is first, and then I'll judge whether it's true or not."

When Mu Nanjin said this, he opened the gossip news to check Guangliu's identity. To his surprise, the other party was actually the Minister of Revenue's man.

Guangliu was sent here by the Minister of Revenue, but unfortunately the gossip news did not say why the Minister of Revenue sent him here.

Guang Liu said quickly: "I am from the Minister of Revenue. He asked me to tell you about the Emperor and the civil and military officials..."

Then, there was no sound.

Mu Nanjin watched as his mouth moved but no sound came out.

Guangliu touched his throat in confusion: "What's going on? Why was there no sound? And now there is a sound again? Why is it so strange?"

Mu Nanjin raised his eyebrows: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I want to tell you..." Guangliu's next words fell silent again.

Mu Nanjin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Guang Liu was very anxious, wondering why he couldn't speak when it came to important things.

"Miss Mu, believe me, I really have something to tell you. I just don't know why I can't make a sound when I talk about this matter. It's too strange, really too strange. No, it should be said that it's too weird, very weird. However, this matter is weird in the first place, how could it be like this?"

He was so anxious that he was spinning around in circles. Then he thought of an idea: "Miss Mu, do you have a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone at home? I can write it out for you to see."

Mu Nanjin ordered Xu Bo to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After getting the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Guangliu quickly picked up the pen to write. However, he could not write more than a few words, but he could write other things.

“I can’t write… I can’t even write…”

He looked around fearfully: "Is there a ghost? Is there a ghost here?"

Mu Nanjin calmly drank a sip of tea and said, "Don't be afraid. There are no ghosts here. It's just that what you wrote was avoided by the rules of heaven and earth."

She put down the teacup, walked to the table and looked at the words on the paper on the table: "You really make me so curious. You are just an ordinary person. How can you tell me something that is circumvented by the rules of heaven and earth?"

Guang Liu looked confused: "Rules of heaven and earth? What does this mean?"

"You don't need to know this."

Guang Liu looked down at the paper and said, "I can't speak or write. What should I do?"

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand and grabbed Mu Nanjin's throat.
