Chapter 025 Traitorous Minister 25
Princess Yongfu: “???”
Princess Yongfu's eyes widened slightly. "That's it? That's it! That's it!?"
There were only brief repetitive words, but for some reason I felt an indescribable irony.
As expected, Princess Yongfu immediately continued, "If verbal apologies were effective, then why would we even need the legal office? If someone commits murder or arson, wouldn't it be enough to just offer a simple apology afterward?"
Xiao Yan: “…”
Ah, this... quite familiar speaking logic, there is something fishy about this Princess Yongfu!
——If apologies are useful, then what is the point of using laws?
This sentence comes from a colloquialism in a certain island country in later generations and became widely known thanks to a certain drama.
So, was this Princess Yongfu a quick traveler, a time traveler, or did she carry a system? Her words and actions didn't seem like those of a reborn person; she seemed a bit immature and inexperienced. Quick travel or time travel seemed more likely, and the lack of unidentified energy activity made it more likely she didn't have a system.
Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that the system is in a dormant period, so it is possible that you will not have any experience when you quickly travel through the first world.
Not sure, let’s see.
Xiao Yan's secret observation did not arouse suspicion from others. Mr. Chu was a little angry, but he still kept it to himself.
Princess Yongfu's imperial favor was far beyond the reach of an outsider like him, a non-Chu family descendant. At least the Chu family wouldn't offend the royal family over an outsider like him, especially since Prince Cheng and Princess Yongfu had the Emperor behind them.
Even if there are other things to rely on, they cannot be brought out openly now.
Young Master Chu narrowed his eyes and said, "I was not thoughtful enough."
"To express my apology, Chu is willing to accept the punishment. I wonder..."
After a pause, Master Chu glanced at the innocent Princess Yongfu, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He then looked at Mu Feng with a murderous smile, "I wonder how Brother Mu can forgive me?"
Princess Yongfu was a little confused. She thought she would have to threaten Master Chu again before he would bow his head, but she didn't expect that this guy would suddenly become so honest. She felt a little inexplicably uneasy.
But after thinking about it carefully, he still couldn't figure out what was wrong. He felt a little suspicious, but he could only give up for the time being. He looked at Xiao Chen who was frowning beside him.
Although, but...
Well, although I don’t know why Princess Yongfu suddenly ran to Chongshan Academy, her purpose seemed to be Mu Feng... But no matter what the reason, it is not wise to offend Young Master Chu for Mu Feng.
The Chu family welcomed back the real young master. Even if it was true that Young Master Chu was sent out of the capital to avoid suspicion, Young Master Chu was once the tutor of the eighth prince, so there was some relationship between them. She would be fine if she acted like this, but if Mu Feng wanted to enter the officialdom, it would always bring him hatred.
More importantly, Princess Yongfu is backed by the Emperor, who is also a member of the Crown Prince's faction. If Mu Feng accepts Princess Yongfu's favor, it would be like being tied to the Crown Prince's party, which is inconsistent with his neutral stance in his previous life.
Now that the emperor is old, the disputes among the princes are getting more intense. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the legitimate son, he is too kind. It would be fine if the old emperor could protect him, but unfortunately the old emperor is getting older and more incompetent and unwilling to give up power. He is also secretly afraid of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
The old emperor was wary of him, his younger brother was eyeing him covetously, and his indecision was his original sin. He could not control the throne at all. Otherwise, in his previous life, the fifth prince would not have taken the throne of the crown prince.
Princess Yongfu's move undoubtedly pushed the neutral Eighth Prince to the Fifth Prince's side, and made enemies for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mu Feng.
In general, it means doing good things with good intentions, oh no, maybe there are other things to ask for.
From this we can see that Princess Yongfu has no political acumen. I don’t know whether it is the intention of others or her own.
No matter who it is, it won't be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Firstly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is known for his benevolence. He is a kind father, a filial son, a friendly brother, and a respectful younger brother. He is not good at scheming and would not do such a stupid thing as shooting himself in the foot.
Secondly, although the prince is kind, he has the cunning queen behind him. The queen will not stand by and watch the prince's party members make enemies for him.
so……
Could this really be Princess Yongfu's idea?!
Ah this, ah this...
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen looked at Mu Feng, his mortal enemy in his previous life, with a subtle and pitying look.
Miserable, so miserable! I didn’t do anything, but I was dragged into this pirate ship!
In his previous life, Mu Feng was a neutral figure, a representative of those who supported the truth rather than their relatives. Now, he was a knife in the hands of the old emperor, a clear royalist. He had no choice but to do so. After all, he had no family to support him. If he wanted to stand out, he had no choice but to rely on the old emperor.
It was just a missed opportunity. I hadn't anticipated that the old emperor would be thinking about the fifth prince's biological mother before his death...
Thinking of his previous life, Xiao Chen was suddenly speechless.
The old emperor's script is as follows——
He was the emperor of the time, and in order to consolidate his power he had to abandon his childhood sweetheart and marry the queen.
She is the daughter of the Grand Tutor and a childhood sweetheart of the current emperor. However, under the powerful influence, she can only watch the man of her former love marry someone else.
She was sad, he was in pain, she ran away, he chased her, but after a drunken encounter, they rekindled their old relationship.
In order to protect the woman he loved, he had to indulge in pleasure every night and favor other concubines. He watched coldly as she suffered torture, was framed, and became depressed until she died with hatred in her heart.
He was grieving, but he couldn't let anyone see it, and he had to hold his mother's family accountable.
Although she was dead, he had to make plans for their prince.
then--
He watched coldly as their children were tortured by the palace servants and given minor or major punishments at will.
Even if she had hatred in her heart, even if their prince had resentment in his heart, even if the people of the world misunderstood him, he knew that he had his own reasons!
So how could Xiao Chen have imagined that the old emperor's candidate for the crown prince was actually the fifth prince?
It's completely off the mark!
Whose beloved woman would watch indifferently as she was insulted, remaining a ninth-rank concubine until her death? Whose beloved child would be left to grow up alone and helpless? Whose emperor could be so incompetent? Who could have imagined it?
This logic is absolutely amazing. Putting aside other things, no matter how powerful the empress's family is, it can't be more powerful than the emperor's, right? If he wants to protect someone in the deep palace, the emperor with so many spies can't even protect a woman?
He's just protecting his reputation and doesn't want his own interests to be harmed!
It seems affectionate but also heartless. After the person dies, he says that he did it all for your own good. All he thinks about in his heart is you. It's a bit disgusting to think about it.
Originally, he planned to help Mu Feng secretly. After all, no matter how much he disagreed with Mu Feng, he would not let such a learned and talented person suffer such an insult in such a matter.
However... now that the Crown Prince and the Eighth Prince, and even the Old Emperor and the Fifth Prince, are involved, he doesn't want to be tied to other boats so early, and can only do nothing to help.
It is obvious that Mu Feng also knows the current situation.
Although he didn't know why this woman disguised as a man, who was obviously from a noble family, would help him, he didn't want to offend the prince.
Even though she seemed to have good intentions, she didn't know what her purpose was. Mu Feng's thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but it only lasted for a moment.
"Mr. Chu, your words are respectful. I am fine."
Princess Yongfu: “???”
Princess Yongfu was stunned. No, little brother, he bullied you so much, and you are still okay? ? ?
You are like this, which makes me, the person helping you, feel very embarrassed!
Princess Yongfu looked at Mu Feng in disbelief, thinking he was afraid of offending Young Master Chu and facing retaliation. She quickly said, "Don't worry, Brother Mu. If you have any grievances, please speak up. Don't worry about the consequences."
At this point, she glanced at Master Chu meaningfully and continued, "This world belongs to Your Majesty. Redressing the injustice is only natural."
Xiao Yan & Xiao Chen: "..."
You're almost saying you have a very powerful background, possibly even a member of the royal family. Could you at least cover it up a bit?!
Princess Yongfu didn't know that her identity was exposed, and looked at Mu Feng seriously.
Mu Feng: “…”
Okay, I get it. This guy is probably another prince's lobbyist. But he has no achievements, and his talent is not world-renowned. How did this lobbyist know of his existence?
You must know that there is no such thing as a free lunch and no favor comes without reason.
Revenge will definitely be taken. Even though Mu Feng is confident that he will become an official in the future, he does not want to offend the Eighth Prince behind Young Master Chu too soon, and even less so the Prince behind this lobbyist. He can only express his gratitude: "Thank you... Brother, I am truly fine."
Upon hearing this, Master Chu's expression eased slightly. He seemed quite proud of his background, but he also felt that this person was quite sensible. However, he still wanted to avenge today's grudge! He was not someone who could embarrass him!
Both parties involved expressed misunderstanding. Princess Yongfu could only be angry at their lack of fighting spirit, and the dean was even more relieved.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just leave it at that."
The headmaster looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, let's go and answer it."
Princess Yongfu wanted to say something but stopped herself. However, looking at Mu Feng's expressionless face, she could only hate him for not fighting back.
Take a deep breath, take a deep breath. He is the male protagonist. If he does this, there must be a reason for it!
call--
Tui! I'm still very angry! Even after being bullied to this extent, I still swallow my anger. It's not a good article at all!
After watching this farce, Xiao Yan shook his head and then entered the examination room with Xiao Chen.
The examination room is an open-air venue located in the center, with tables and desks. A teacher sits in the front and there are also teachers supervising in the room.
There are three exams, each lasting one hour, one in the morning and one in the afternoon today, and the results will be known the next morning.
The content is nothing more than the Four Books, the Five Classics, poetry, essays, etc. Compared with Master Wei's examinations, it is already simple and easy to answer.
After the two exams, the students gathered in the academy to ask each other for advice, or to ask the senior students in the academy for advice.
The academic atmosphere in the academy is flourishing. Nowadays, there are relatively few incidents between Chu Shao and Mu Feng. There is exclusion, but most of their minds are focused on their studies.
Studying is the only way out for students nowadays. Except for those rich and powerful children who usually surround themselves with literature, all of them focus on studying in the hope of passing the high school entrance examination and then making a name for themselves.
"What do you think, big brother?" Perhaps because of the strong academic atmosphere, Xiao Chen was infected by it, and he burst out laughing as soon as he asked.
With my brother's ability, it should be easy for him to do it. It's unnecessary for him to do it.
Xiao Yan didn't know what he was thinking, so he said, "Not bad."
Chongshan Academy is located at the end of West Street, opposite to East Street. It takes about three quarters of an hour to get there along the sidewalk. There are countless vendors selling snacks along the way, which is a real fusion of the world.
As the two were walking, they suddenly heard a burst of shouting and cursing.
"You son of a bitch, how dare you break my jade pendant!?"
"Brother Dai, it's obvious that this kid has no money or property. I'm afraid he can't afford to pay the compensation!"
"Then tell him to kneel down and kowtow to me, then crawl under my crotch!"
