Mei Ya was also very anxious, and looked at Zhong Mingwei: "Mingwei, is there really no way?"
"Let me think about it," Zhong Mingwei said slowly, taking a sip of tea and looking at Gu Qingtong again, "Miss Gu, don't worry for now, and don't let Mr. Chen worry. I will take care of this matter, and let him go to the palace examination with peace of mind."
"Yes, with what you said, my cousin and I have nothing to worry about," Gu Qingtong breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and bowed to Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya, "Then Master and Madam, I will go back first, I still have to make dinner for my cousin."
"Okay, then you go back quickly." Mei Ya nodded hurriedly.
Gu Qingtong left, and for a moment, only Meiya and Zhong Mingwei were left in the room. Meiya hurried to Zhong Mingwei, holding his hand with a worried look on her face, and whispered, "You said you could come up with a solution, but now you have no connections in the court, and you have no say in front of His Majesty. How can you help Mr. Chen?"
"I don't have any connections, and I really can't have a say in front of His Majesty, but who knows, someone might be willing to help us." Zhong Mingwei said with a smile, while pulling Mei Ya from behind to sit on his lap.
"Who is it?" Mei Ya asked, tilting her head, "Could it be that you have trusted forces in the court?"
"Those who can help you are not necessarily your trusted forces. Sometimes they may even be your opponents." Zhong Mingwei said with a smile, stretching out his hand to pinch the tip of the little girl's round nose.
"What do you mean?" Meiya didn't understand a word you said. "Since I'm your opponent, how can I help you? You're just fooling me."
"I'm not fooling you," Zhong Mingwei laughed dumbly, while patiently explaining to Meiya, "Prince Rong knew that Mr. Chen was born in Ningguta, and he should have linked Mr. Chen and me together. Do you think that according to Prince Rong's personality, he can tolerate my power reappearing in the court? Especially, I am the former crown prince, who always suppresses him. He has survived under my shadow for so many years, and now he has one foot in the East Palace. But at this time, my people are going to enter the court again. Do you think he can allow it?"
"Oh, I understand! Prince Rong is definitely unwilling to let Mr. Chen stay in the capital," Meiya suddenly realized, but frowned, "But you also said that His Majesty intended to let you come to the capital to balance the situation because he didn't want to see Prince Rong dominate the court. So His Majesty should hope that new forces will emerge in the court, and then His Majesty must hope that Mr. Chen can stay in the court. So how can you fulfill Prince Rong's wish?"
"You forgot that the Zhao family has not fallen yet, and the An family is still there. After the fall of the Xu family, the Cui family, and the Zou family, the status of these two aristocratic families in the court cannot be underestimated. Naturally, Prince Rong's status is also very transcendent. Therefore, the court officials must not only take into account the thoughts of His Majesty, but also guess the thoughts of Prince Rong, the future new monarch. Therefore, this palace examination must be different from the previous ones. The decision of His Majesty may not be the final decision," Zhong Mingwei said with a smile, "If we had gotten closer to Mr. Chen before this, do you think Prince Rong would have hated him even more and would have been determined to drive Mr. Chen out of the capital?"
"Then...will it affect you?" Meiya said worriedly, "If Prince Rong ascends the throne in the future, will he come after you to settle the score?"
