"Later, the Imperial Guards had no choice but to look for other breakthroughs outside the capital. Ningguta was the most important trump card in the hands of the Imperial Guards. After all, all the people imprisoned here were of great importance. The Jinyiwei naturally coveted the fat piece of Ningguta, but after so many years, the Imperial Guards finally managed to guard this piece of fat. Who would have thought that a major case would happen in the past 20 years, and the His Majesty had to exile all the criminals and their dependents to Ningguta." Speaking of this. Kong Wenjie couldn't help but sigh, and then continued, "The Imperial Guards are panicking now. The major case of the past 20 years originated from the King of Pingxi, and the Imperial Guards are naturally unwilling to be involved, for fear of getting into trouble. But His Majesty insisted that the Imperial Guards intervene. So over the years, the Imperial Guards have been neither close nor far away from those criminals and their surviving relatives. Even so, they are still worried. Now it's good, those criminals and their surviving relatives are about to revive. If the Imperial Guards make a big move, His Majesty may worry that the Imperial Guards are not doing a good job. It takes a heavy punch to deal with these criminals, but if the movement is small, His Majesty may be more worried that the Imperial Guards are in collusion with these criminals and their surviving relatives. My Lord, please give us some advice, what should our Imperial Guards do to satisfy His Majesty?"
Zhong Mingwei didn't say anything, he lowered his head and sipped his tea. But Pang Yi spoke up: "As long as His Majesty is suspicious of you, no matter what you do, it will be in vain. In his opinion, it would be better to kill you all together."
Yes, His Majesty has always been like this. He has never said that he should trust the people he employs. He always observes you with suspicion, and if there is anyone who can replace you, he will replace you without hesitation. He will not care whether you are wronged or framed, because he is the emperor. In his eyes, there is no right or wrong, only whether he is at peace. That's why the Imperial Guards were in an awkward situation, and the King of Pingxi was inexplicably cut off from returning to Beijing and had not returned for decades.
Mei Ya nodded after hearing what Pang Yi said, "Your Majesty is just too suspicious. When I was still in the palace, there was a young eunuch from the imperial kitchen who went to the imperial study to deliver food to Your Majesty for the first time. He was so excited that his face turned red and he stuttered. Your Majesty ordered people to drag him out and beat him to death on the spot, saying that the young eunuch must have evil intentions because he was so nervous. Unfortunately, the young eunuch was only fifteen years old when he died."
Thinking of the past, Mei Ya couldn't help but sigh softly, and looked at Zhong Mingwei silently. Looking at his silent face, Mei Ya's heart ached. She really couldn't imagine how Zhong Mingwei grew up in that square imperial city and how he endured the pain when facing such a father and such an emperor. Mei Ya felt really bad when she thought of Zhong Mingwei who had never even skated on ice.
Kong Wenjie looked at Meiya after hearing that. He had hardly looked at Meiya since he entered the room. Only when he heard Meiya speak did he look over. He was stunned for a moment. He hadn't seen Meiya for more than two months. Somehow, he felt that Meiya was much prettier than before. But he couldn't tell exactly where she was prettier. He just felt that Meiya was softer and more gentle than before. The jar of colorful flowers on the small table was not more eye-catching than those black eyes. At this moment, those black eyes were looking at Zhong Mingwei eagerly, with tenderness and deep care.
As if he had noticed Meiya's mood, Zhong Mingwei turned around and smiled at Meiya, indicating that it was okay. Then he put down the teacup and looked at Kong Wenjie: "So Guard Kong came to Nanshan Villa this time to protect my husband and me?"
"Yes," Kong Wenmin was so busy that he retracted his gaze, and said to Zhong Mingwei respectfully, "If the criminals and their relatives in the 20-year-old case really make a scene, the primary target will be the master and the lady, so I have to be careful. Commander Ma and Lord Fang both have the same idea. They asked me to stay in the Nanshan Villa for a while, and the outer perimeter will be guarded by the yamen runners."
"Okay," Zhong Mingwei nodded, looking at Pang Yi, "Please prepare a room for Guard Kong in the front yard."
"Yes, I obey your command." Pang Yi said hurriedly.
"Thank you, sir." Kong Wenjie bowed.
