Chapter 36 Summer Heat



"I sent someone to help at the door."

Ji Wan asked Yang Guan to take away everyone in the mansion.

Not one left.

The temperature of the sun began to rise in the early morning, and Ji Wan's cheeks began to feel hot from the sun.

I had no choice but to quicken my pace and try to find a shady place to take shelter.

Zhang Baojiang's mansion was very large, and Ji Wan took a long time to bring the person to the front hall.

“Rucheng forgives me, this is a special situation.

I don't have anyone to serve me, so I have to inconvenience you temporarily."

Ji Wan was polite out of symbolic politeness.

Cui Min is also a smart person, so he naturally knows that Ji Wan is just being polite.

"Your Highness is too polite. I heard that the Imperial Concubine only has one child. How could the Imperial Concubine bear to let you come to such a remote place?"

Imperial Concubine? This person mentioned my mother?

Ji Wan's mind raced, and he suddenly remembered the news that the entire second branch of the Cui family had separated from the royal capital.

This person suddenly mentioned his mother, and it was definitely not just to reminisce about the past or to show concern for Ji Wan.

Then, the only reason he suddenly mentioned it was that his mother was on good terms with or at odds with someone.

Only Ji Wan knew this.

Ji Wan thought carefully about who his mother had a good relationship with, and it seemed that apart from his mother's subordinates, there seemed to be no one else.

Then the friendly party can be ruled out for the time being.

But if there is anyone that my mother is not in harmony with, the Queen will definitely be the first to be blamed.

Let’s take a look at Cui Min’s family background.

Could it be that the independence of the second branch of the Cui family from the royal capital was related to the current queen?

Ji Wan looked at Cui Min in surprise.

"Are you joking with me, Rucheng? Everyone in the entire Donglin Kingdom knows that I am a person born with a disability and not blessed by God.

Being sent to a remote place by my father is quite normal. Besides, my mother is just an ordinary concubine, so even if I am reluctant to let her go, what can I do?

Cui Min's eyes rolled, and he knew that Ji Fuguang was pretending to be stupid in front of him today.

What nonsense, she is just an ordinary concubine.

The only princess of Ruo Ningxi Kingdom was just an ordinary concubine.

How can the queen who comes from a noble family live?

How can the third prince's biological mother from Nanxia Kingdom, who is also a princess, live?

Then he forced a smile and said, "Your Highness is being modest. Min only knows that the Imperial Concubine is loved like the apple of the Emperor's eye and is very favored.

Not to mention that the Imperial Concubine is the only princess of Xiling State. Cui Min knew that if he played dumb, he wouldn't necessarily lose.

But today he came to ask Ji Fuguang to do something for him. If he didn't make it clear, Ji Fuguang would probably play dumb.

"Your Highness, do you know why the Cui clan of Jizhou wants to separate from the great Cui clan of the royal capital?"

"Oh? Why?"

Here it comes, here it comes, Cui Min finally made it clear.

The highlight is coming~

There were only Ji Wan and Cui Min in the entire county magistrate's mansion.

So Cui Min also put aside his concerns.

"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry to know the reason.

All you need to know is that Min and the current queen are sworn enemies."

Ji Wan was choked by what he said. Knock, what on earth was going on?

Tell her to calm down. Can humans control this thing?

This guy laid a hook and didn't answer it, which made her very anxious.

"You are so audacious, Cui Rucheng, that you even said you are irreconcilable with the Queen Mother!

If others knew about this, I'm afraid your entire Cui family would be in trouble."

Ji Wan's tone was serious.

Cui Min knew Ji Wan was still playing dumb. He smiled helplessly and said firmly, "Your Highness, there's no need to play dumb with Min. Min came here today to ask for your help."

Ji Wan's eyes flashed with interest for a moment, and he raised his arm to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

I haven't been sitting here for ten minutes and I'm sweating.

"Rucheng, tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

Why ask her for help? If you want to overthrow the queen, wouldn’t it be better to cooperate with the third prince?

The Third Prince has the power of the Southern Xia Kingdom and the Eastern Lin Kingdom at his disposal. Not only can he compete with the Crown Prince, he is also a healthy person.

At least it's better than her, a person with a disabled body.

In the concept of the ancients in this world, people with physical defects are generally classified as unlucky people.

What on earth could attract Cui Min to a person like me who is considered ominous in the eyes of the world?

It can't be personal charm.

"Min's biological mother was brutally murdered by the then-reigning Empress Dowager Donglin."

Cui Min paused after saying this.

As if he couldn't bear to speak again.

"Min's eldest brother was turned into a human pig by Cui Mi in order to protect our mother."

Cui Mi is the name of the current queen.

Human pig? Is this second branch of the Cui family actually a member of the Cui family?

He was so cruel to his own people.

Ji Wan was shocked and even felt that Cui Min was joking.

In this era, family members are basically of the same blood.

Basically, they protect, condone, aid and abet the evil and even become accomplices to their own people.

This is not a case of throwing guns in and attacking one's own family.

Even in the open-minded modern world where Ji Wan lived before, there were very few people who could actually kill their own people.

"Your Highness, Min knows that you possess incredible talent and have countless talented people under your command.

But Min can give His Highness a great gift in return."

Ji Wan's curiosity was aroused by him again, and she thought that this man should write a novel.

With such a good hook, the novel he writes will definitely be a big seller.

"Why am I the only one you entrust with such an important task?"

Ji Wan was smart enough not to ask according to his pace.

In negotiations, whoever gets caught up in the other party's rhythm first loses.

"Your drastic reforms in Qingshi State definitely demonstrate your extraordinary abilities. Min trusts Your Highness. I only trust Your Highness and believe that Your Highness can help Min get revenge."

Tsk, so perfunctory.

Even stray dogs on the roadside cannot be trusted.

If she believed it, Ji Wan would lose.

"Min's uncle is a great scholar of the time, Mr. Shunan."

Cui Min was actually a little nervous.

If Imperial Concubine Xiling Mingyue did not have that kind of thought, then the title of Mr. Shunan would be of no use to Ji Fuguang.

If Xiling Mingyue sent Ji Wan to Qingshizhou to do business, wouldn’t it be paving the way for the next prince she would give birth to?

Then all his plans for today would be in vain.

That’s right, Cui Min thought Xiling Mingyue sent Ji Wan to such a cold and bitter place on purpose.

And it is to pave the way for your next child in advance.

Ji Wan had heard of Mr. Shunan. It could be said that everyone in the four countries knew the name of Mr. Shunan.

This gentleman is one of the most learned teachers of our time.

His students are spread all over Kyushu, and there are countless outstanding students.

This gentleman established a school, which was filled with reserve officials of future courts from various countries.

It is very difficult for people in this world to study, make a name for themselves, or even become an official.

The first is that there are few teachers, and the second is that it is difficult for poor families to afford education.

Finally, there are very few ways to select talents in this world.
