Chapter 254: The Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice

Although the second brother was still a little confused when he suddenly heard his eldest brother ask him to investigate An Yuesheng, he had felt it before. An Yuesheng didn't look like a good person, and he should be investigated.

"Okay, I'll find someone to investigate."

Qin Qixuan continued.

"You should also be careful. An Yuesheng is definitely not as simple as he looks on the surface. There must be a story behind him. Maybe he has a connection with the Qin family."

Xiao Si, who was about to leave, stopped and asked in surprise.

"No way, big brother, An Yuesheng? What story can he have? He looks like a fool who is a little kind. He was bullied for being brave and righteous."

Xiao Si shook his head, with a look of disbelief.

In his heart, An Yuesheng was silly and a little clingy. How could he be like what his eldest brother said? It would

have been better if the fourth brother hadn't said anything. After he said that, the second brother immediately understood the despair of Xiao Xixi and his mother when he brought Su Xiaoxiao home before. He couldn't help but twitched his mouth speechlessly.

Qin Qixuan also held his forehead helplessly.

"Today I went to the Ministry of Justice to report on my work, but I didn't expect that a vice minister of the Ministry of Justice would be parachuted in with the same rank as me. That vice minister of the Ministry of Justice is An Yuesheng."

The second brother was a little shocked.

"An Yuesheng became the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice as soon as he came to the capital?"

Qin Qixuan nodded with a solemn expression.

The second brother's shock was not without reason.

Qin Qixuan's promotion speed was already very fast, and this was because he often followed Fu Qian here and there, and with the help of the little grandson of the emperor, plus Qin Qixuan's own efforts, he gradually became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

But this An Yuesheng, who didn't know what ability he had, and had no actual merit, actually became the Minister of the Ministry of Justice with the same status as Qin Qixuan?

Not to mention Qin Qixuan, even the second brother was a little puzzled.

But what really made Qin Qixuan jealous was not because of this.

"After all, Concubine An saved the emperor. She wants to help An Yuesheng get a good official position and say a few good words to the emperor. The emperor still feels sorry for Concubine An and will definitely agree. I know this, but..."

Qin Qixuan's face was a little confused.

"I didn't take him seriously at first, and I went to say hello to my new colleague as usual. But when I came into contact with him, I could clearly feel that he seemed to be hostile to me. That hostility was disguised, but I could still feel it, enough to imagine how much he hates me."

Qin Qixuan couldn't help but become more confused.

"But before that, I didn't have much contact with him. I just talked to him a few times, and my tone was not very good. How petty must he be to hate me so much? So I still tend to think that he is a little distant from our Qin family. We must be on guard against others." The

second brother's expression suddenly became serious.

The fourth brother was even more puzzled.

"No, that An Yuesheng was brave enough to do something righteous on the way. I saw it with my own eyes. It can't be fake. So I don't think he is a bad person. Could it be that you are wrong, brother?"

Qin Qixuan shook his head.

"I am not so ignorant of the ill intentions released by others. Besides, how could it be such a coincidence that you saw An Yuesheng doing something brave and righteous? Maybe this was also a so-called 'chance encounter' arranged by An Yuesheng and others?"

If even the encounter between Xiao Si and An Yuesheng was arranged by An Yuesheng, then An Yuesheng could be said to be too terrible.

Not only did he create the opportunity to "chance encounter" with Xiao Si and others, he also asked Concubine An to arrange for him to work in the Ministry of Justice, as if he was targeting the Qin family.

Qin Qixuan thought more, as if An Yuesheng came here specifically to find faults between him and the Qin family.

However, Qin Qixuan had no evidence, only guesses, but these guesses were already enough to be somewhat shocking.

Xiao Si was stunned by Qin Qixuan's words. He thought about it carefully and it seemed that what Qin Qixuan said was right.

Is there really something wrong with An Yuesheng? Xiao Si couldn't help but doubt himself. He hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.

Several people fell into deep thought at the same time.

It felt like the Qin family had just experienced a crisis, and now it was being targeted by someone in the dark...

When Xiao Xixi heard this, she couldn't help but think of the An siblings whom she had met before. They were weird but she didn't like them very much.

And Xiao Xixi didn't know the origins of the An siblings this time, so she didn't participate in the discussion.

[But Xixi also thinks that there is definitely something wrong with the An siblings! ]

In addition to the An siblings, Xixi is now more interested in other things.

[Oh, the Emperor has been acting strange recently. I really want to go to the palace to see what’s going on!]

Xixi decided to do whatever she thought of.

She rolled her eyes around and caught Qin Qixuan who was about to leave, and spoke to him in a babbling voice.

[Brother, please take me to the palace to play!]

Qin Qixuan was the only one who could enter and leave the palace. Although the fourth brother would also go to the palace tomorrow, he was going to work after all. Xixi didn’t want to make things difficult for him, so it would be best if the eldest brother took him.

Qin Qixuan didn’t expect little Xixi to act so quickly, and he was immediately embarrassed.

Xixi wants to go to the palace to find the Emperor? This is not a good thing!

He said to Xixi earnestly.

"Xixi, it's not so easy to enter the palace. My brother went to the palace for work..."

Little Xixi was unwilling.

[No, no, Xixi wants to go.]

Little Xixi remembered the stone that seemed useless at this time. With an idea, she babbled something.

[Xixi has a token! The emperor said that you can use the token to enter the palace!]

Xixi not only said this, but also took out the token directly.

She held it in her hand and showed it to Qin Qixuan very proudly.

[Yeah, yeah, yeah, this way, big brother can't refuse me!]

Qin Qixuan forgot that the emperor had given little Xixi a token before. With this token, Xixi can really enter the palace whenever she wants.

It's just...

Qin Qixuan sighed. There was no reason to stop little Xixi. He could only tell the truth.

"But it would be very dangerous for Xixi to go to the palace alone. Brother can't leave Xixi alone with the emperor."

Especially since the emperor's attitude towards the Qin family seems to be a little subtle recently. If Xixi's attitude towards the emperor is a little wrong, it might be dangerous.

Qin Qixuan's worry is unreasonable, but Xixi thinks that the emperor's attitude must be very critical. She thinks that the emperor is weird, and there must be something wrong with the emperor.

[No, no, Xixi must go! ]

Little Xixi blinked her eyes, her round eyes sparkling, which made people feel pity.
