Yan Shiyue asked: "Is it okay not to go anywhere?"
Emperor Ming Yan glared at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"
She acted innocently and said, "Oh! If I must go, I think the reasons you mentioned about the Ministry of Justice are very sufficient. I didn't know I was so capable. You have convinced me. I want to go to the Ministry of Justice."
She nodded at them very seriously.
Everyone: “…”
It's not that she really listened to what Qu Sinian said, mainly because it's really hard to cheat in the Ministry of Rites, and there's nothing to cheat. As a stowaway, her ideas and knowledge are her weapons to show off, so relatively speaking, the Ministry of Justice is better, as there are more places to operate.
But when she said this, she did catch a glimpse of the surprise that flashed across their faces.
This means that what Qu Sinian said is most likely correct.
They were probably thinking… If they had known she was such a fool, they would have directly recommended the Ministry of Rites!!! Why did they have to beat around the bush with a little village girl who knows nothing!!! This is too much trouble! Don’t you regret it?
Only Lin Fujian curled his lips slightly, then lowered his head.
...
...
Emperor Mingyan seemed to be thinking about something, and after a while he said, "Let me think about it."
Everyone retreated.
An oral order was issued in the afternoon, and she was indeed asked to go to the Ministry of Justice.
She just showed her face.
The Ministry of Justice was a little shabby, at least shabbier than she had imagined. Most of the people in the office were old, with long beards. They were the kind of people who, after a day's work, couldn't even find anyone to rest their eyes against.
It seems that she will have to bring her own eyewasher from now on...Should she get a servant or a eunuch?
When she returned home, Qu Sinian came as expected in the evening.
After dinner, Yan Shiyue drove everyone away. Xu Wenqu also left, leaving only Huo Qijing. The three of them talked in the study.
Qu Sinian said bluntly: "My Lord, are you willing to give Sinian a chance?"
Yan Shiyue asked: "What do you want?"
Her asking this meant that she was willing to accept him. Qu Sinian smiled and said, "I only hope that one day I can be on par with Wenqu."
"That's probably difficult," Yan Shiyue said seriously, "Sir, I'm a friend in need, and you're such a talented and powerful person."
Qu Sinian laughed and said, "It all depends on Sinian's ability. Your Excellency does not need to think too much. Sinian just wants to find a big tree to lean on."
She nodded: "Then you work hard."
"Yes," Qu Sinian said with a smile, "Now, Sinian wants to ask the first question, is the Prime Minister's 'good fortune' real?"
She nodded. “Yes.”
Qu Sinian was slightly surprised and nodded, "Okay. Then may I ask, sir, do you have the memory of your third life?"
Yan Shiyue: “……?”
She was confused for a moment... What the hell is the memory of the third life? ? What is the third life? ?
Qu Sinian didn't stare at her, but just glanced at her and said, "Or, does the Prime Minister think he is someone else?"
There are really more smart people in this world than she imagined, and they are smarter.
Yan Shiyue immediately showed off her best acting skills and shook her head solemnly: "Actually, I really don't know, but you are right. The memories in my head are indeed a bit messy. If I call it the 'third life', I don't think it is appropriate, because how should I put it? The things in my mind are piecemeal, do you understand? And I always feel that these many things are not what I 'experienced', but what I 'know'. That's the feeling... Oh, do you understand?"
Even Huo Qijing became unusually serious.
This is the first time she has responded to this question directly.
If it were him, he really wouldn't dare to ask, but she answered unexpectedly, and this answer inexplicably made him feel relieved.
Qu Sinian nodded: "Sinian understands... So that's how it is, the Prime Minister is indeed a magical person!"
He paused: "But, forgive me for being blunt, in the eyes of the emperor," he coughed twice and glanced at Huo Qijing: "Or in the eyes of the marquis, the prime minister should have the memory of the third life, because the prime minister acts too casually, too impatiently, and sometimes unscrupulously, giving people a feeling of passing by in a hurry..."
Oh my god! He is so scary! He hit the nail on the head!
Yan Shiyue's heart was filled with the screaming of a groundhog, but she was well prepared and even her breathing was steady, as she fell into a mysterious acting that was like self-hypnosis.
She frowned and said, "What do you mean by 'passers-by are in a hurry'? I think I have tried hard enough!"
Qu Sinian paused subtly for a moment.
He said: "This is Si Nian's feeling, maybe it's wrong."
"I understand," Yan Shiyue said seriously, "In fact, our concepts are different. The biggest difference is that I don't care whether the person I am unhappy with is a relative or not. In other words, I treat outsiders and relatives based on my likes and dislikes. You all think that I am wrong to do this."
She told him directly: "I am not wrong, I will not change."
Qu Sinian nodded: "Sinian understands."
He said to her gently, "In the future, before you do anything big or new, can you discuss it with Si Nian first?"
"Okay!" She agreed immediately: "I will definitely discuss it with you if we can."
Why did he hear something unfinished?
Qu Sinian suppressed the uneasiness that was welling up in his heart, coughed twice, and changed the topic to the main topic: "Now, about the Ministry of Justice. Li Jinzhong, the Minister of Justice, is the apprentice of the elder Lin Fujian. He looks honest on the outside, but is vicious on the inside. He does things by any means necessary and only follows the elder Lin's lead. But... he is not very smart, and he often likes to be smart. This is his biggest weakness."
Yan Shiyue asked: "Is there any way to break his leg?"
Qu Sinian: “…”
She said seriously, "He also broke Mr. Xu's leg."
"I understand," Qu Sinian held his forehead with his hand, "Don't rush into this kind of thing. Let's take it slow, okay?"
Yan Shiyue nodded obediently.
He paused: "Anyway, now the Prime Minister has entered the Ministry of Justice. Their method is definitely to use the case to contain the Prime Minister, and this case may involve someone the Prime Minister cares about. The best situation they want is, of course, for the Prime Minister to choose between personal feelings and national laws.
But the Prime Minister doesn't really care about many people. Most of them have the ability to protect themselves. For those who can't, they need to "fabricate" a case. And to fabricate a case... Because the Prime Minister's "handprint" theory was really shocking, so they will be more cautious, so as not to really find out the real culprit and completely offend the Prime Minister, so this will not happen for the time being."
He spoke very patiently and in detail.
Yan Shiyue nodded, thinking it made sense, and secretly decided to send someone to protect Tang Xiu, Yan Shitu, Xiao Ayang and others.
Qu Sinian said, "But the good thing now is that it's not just one person who wants to deal with the Prime Minister. There are various forces in the court, and they all want to get more from this matter. So, they may send other things to test. Each case will involve a force... So, we can also use their own tactics to win in the chaos."
