The third prince was just about to ask what was going on.
As a result, his guards came hurriedly to report, "Your Highness, the morning court is over, and the outcome is unexpected..."
The guard spoke in a very low voice and spoke for a long time.
Then, the Third Prince's expression changed slightly, he glanced at Mu Yunshan and said, "Since Uncle Mu is unwilling, let's stop doing this for now."
After saying that, he said goodbye and left quickly.
The people from the Third Prince's Mansion came in a large procession and left in a large procession carrying things.
The people were stunned.
"Is this just playing house? You can come and go as you please?"
"There are so many strange things this year, one after another, all of which are incomprehensible."
Everyone left shaking their heads.
At this time, the guards of the Xiao family also found Xiao Pingxin, "Sir, the results are out in the palace."
Ruyi suddenly understood after hearing this.
After Shen Cangyun was deposed, each prince's palace was eager to push their own people to the position, and they ran around telling each other the news and were very busy.
But they didn't know that the emperor's original intention was to depose the prime minister and centralize imperial power!
The third prince did not expect that a cabinet would suddenly appear and balance and eliminate everyone's power.
How could he not be anxious?
Sure enough, the Xiao family's guards said, "Everyone held their own opinions at the morning court today, and everyone wanted to push someone up."
"But after the emperor heard it, he didn't accept anyone's advice and directly announced on the spot that the prime minister system would be abolished and a cabinet would be established."
"Except for the Ninth Prince Rong Yan, the six Wenyuan Pavilion Grand Secretaries were all new faces, which stunned everyone. The imperial decree has been issued, and Eunuch Yuan went to the Ninth Prince's mansion and announced that he would become the Prime Minister of Wenyuan Pavilion."
"This matter has spread."
Xiao Pingxin's eyes were complicated when he heard this. "Now, those who have been jumping up and down in the past two days have exposed themselves for nothing. I'm afraid they won't be able to sit still from now on."
Ruyi nodded, "Let alone others, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince will definitely be unable to sit still."
She took a deep breath and said, "However, these things have nothing to do with us for the time being. Let's go back first."
Xiao Pingxin nodded and glanced at Song Mingyang, "I will send Ruyi back for a blood test first, and then send the princess back to the mansion."
Song Mingyang's face flushed and he nodded shyly, "Okay."
On the way back, they were the only two left.
The sound of Song Mingyang's heartbeat suddenly drowned out everything else, and pink bubbles appeared all over his body.
Ruyi directly told the driver, "Go to the suburbs and find my master."
He has medicine for blood tests, but the inn doesn't have the materials.
And this matter cannot be delayed.
He then instructed Jing San who was following him secretly, "Go find my senior brother. I want to discuss something with him and meet him at the master's place."
She wanted to go to the Ninth Prince’s Mansion to find Rong Yan.
But it can't.
It is easy to arouse suspicion.
Ruyi thought that she would not run into anyone from the Shen family again today.
Who would have thought that halfway through the walk, when almost reaching the suburbs, he would run into Shen Qi who was about to leave the city.
This section of the road had not been cleared of snow.
There is only enough space in the middle for a carriage to pass through, so if two parties collide, only one party has to give way.
For a moment, it was stuck.
Ruyi didn't know what was going on outside. She lifted the car curtain and took a look. She was about to say that she would step aside first and let others pass.
When I looked up, I saw Shen Qi.
In just a few days, Shen Qi seemed to have lost weight, and his face was pale and he didn't look like his former majesty at all.
After seeing her again, he silently drove his horse into the snow beside him to make way.
He opened his mouth and wanted to call out "Ruyi".
In the end, he was unable to speak. He lowered his eyes and hid himself. He felt as if his heart was being fried in oil and was in extreme pain.
At the age of seventeen, he became the executioner who tortured and killed his own sister.
He will never forget that experience forever.
It is an indelible darkness that is branded on his soul.
"It turned out to be Shen Qi."
Song Mingyang held Ruyi's hand, his palm warm, "Ruyi, don't be sad, we will still be there for you in the future."
She glanced at Xiao Pingxin and blushed a little.
Xiao Pingxin also nodded, "From now on, we have nothing to do with the Shen family."
Ruyi nodded, "It's already indifferent."
Shen Cangyun has come to this point today because he was stuck in the quagmire of being rejected by others in his youth and was unable to extricate himself. He gradually became distorted and destroyed everything.
Ruyi died once and can see these things clearly.
She will not follow Shen Cangyun's old path. She wants to get rid of her hatred for the Shen family and run towards a higher, farther and broader world, to the high temple and to the wild rivers and lakes.
She will not fight the Shen family to the death for the rest of her life.
They weren't worth wasting her life on.
Seeing her relieved, Song Mingyang and Xiao Pingxin nodded and said, "Let's go."
No one paid any attention to Shen Qi.
Shen Qi watched the carriage leave. Through the curtain that had just been opened, he saw Xiao Pingxin and Song Mingyang.
His heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
The sister whom he once abandoned like a worn-out shoe now has a new brother, who is gentle and kind, a famous Confucian general in the court, with excellent character and ability.
In every aspect, they are better than the five brothers of the Shen family.
The Xiao family is a century-old family in the capital. Generations of them have served as officials, and their integrity and honesty are well-known.
The emperor will like the daughter that the Shen family doesn't like.
The Xiao family will want the daughter that the Shen family doesn't want.
The fiancée that Gu Qinghua doesn't want, the Ninth Prince will.
The people they abandoned included Prajna Hall, Nine Emperor Palace and Fengyu Pavilion.
Just now, Ye Hongzhuang's guard brought him the latest news from the palace:
The emperor abolished the prime minister, set up a cabinet, and granted Ruyi the surname of the emperor.
From then on, she was Rong Zhaoyang, the emperor's appointed seal-bearer. Starting from the day after tomorrow, she would serve in the emperor's presence every other day, getting close to the center of power in this country and having the opportunity to learn from the emperor.
These are things that the Shen family father and son dare not even think about.
They grew up and lived together.
They have now fallen from the clouds, but Ruyi has soared into the sky, and from then on he stood at a height that they could not even reach, overlooking the world.
As Shen Qi thought about these things, tears welled up in his eyes.
Ultimately, there is no turning back.
He drove his carriage out of the city and headed for the extremely cold northern desert, not knowing when he would be able to come back again.
Looking back at the capital from the city gate.
He looked towards the direction of the palace.
By then, where will Ruyi be?
Even with all Shen Qi's imagination, he could only think that she might have been the Ninth Prince's consort and later the Queen.
But she never expected that on the much-anticipated day three years later, she would accompany Rong Yan to the summit of the Fengshan ceremony as the Prime Minister of the dynasty, the God of War of Northern Qi, and the King of Zhaoyang, becoming the most dazzling woman in the history of Northern Qi.
It became a thorn in his throat that he could never let go of until his death.
At that time, people praised her as the military governor of all directions and the guardian stone of the nine states, and she made powerful enemies tremble in fear.
…
At this moment, Ruyi came to the old beggar's residence.
"Isn't today a day off?"
The old beggar had just come down from the priest's palace. He had changed out of the purple robe he had worn during the morning court session and casually put on two pieces of coarse cloth clothes. He looked like an ordinary beggar.
When he looked at Ruyi's eyes, he was no longer worried, but smiled and felt relieved.
"I have discovered something important and I have come to seek Master's help. I also want to meet my brother here."
Ruyi made a long story short, then said goodbye to Xiao Pingxin and Song Mingyang, "See you the day after tomorrow."
"good."
Xiao Pingxin took Song Mingyang away.
The old beggar looked at Ruyi, "What's the big deal? This is the first time I see your expression like that."
Ruyi put down the porcelain bottle in his hand and said, "Mr. Mu is not sick, he is poisoned. I am not sure what the poison is, so I came to do a blood test."
