The Prime Minister had a question for the Regent. Murong Jin listened to his words and then glanced at the young emperor. The young emperor told him to answer everything he knew.
She also pointed out some problems: disaster victims, natural disasters and man-made calamities—all of which require advance preparation, such as insect infestations in the surrounding area and a series of problems caused by the river...
Emperor Junlan listened to the regent's voice below, every word spoken was serious, and his demeanor was calm and composed...
And much of it was knowledge he had never encountered before.
He is indeed no match for this man now.
He was very self-aware of this.
For Da Cheng, Murong Jin was a very mysterious and powerful person.
From his youth, there were many rumors about him, both good and bad. After he entered the military, almost all that remained were praises of him.
It is a being that can be both liked and feared.
"Your Majesty, I have only recently assumed the throne and there are many things I do not understand. I will need to trouble you with some matters."
A dark glint flashed in Murong Jin's eyes, and he quickly clenched his fists, saying, "Your subject obeys."
Di Junlan looked at him with a smile on his face. Perhaps he could get along peacefully with Murong Jin.
That night, as Di Junlan read the latest news, he learned that one of his secret hideouts had been breached by the Regent's men...
"Murong Jin!"
"Your Majesty, should we summon the Regent to explain this matter?"
Di Junlan's gaze fell on the guards. "No need. Find out where Murong Jin is now."
He planted spies around Murong Jin and soon learned that Murong Jin was currently in the Regent's Palace, never leaving the palace.
"By the way, Your Majesty, the Regent summoned the imperial physician to the mansion today. The physician said that his leg cannot be restored and he will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life."
"Another thing is that the Regent... is in poor health and will not have any children..."
He was stunned when he heard the news; he hadn't expected the regent to be impotent...
No wonder he hasn't had a woman by his side all these years.
Di Junlan paused for a moment while holding the letter.
Impotence?
Thinking about how that person looked sitting in the wheelchair, it was probably due to the effects of poisoning. After all, with both legs in that state, his male sexual function would naturally be affected as well...
Murong Jin sat in the courtyard watching the fish in the lake. There was no one around, but her guards were hiding in the shadows.
She's the only one who has the leisure to feed the fish so late at night.
The lake water shimmered, and Murong Jin's reflection was imprinted on the surface of the lake under the moonlight.
"Emperor Junlan."
I hope I won't disappoint her.
As for the father...
Murong Jin's lips curled into a slight smile. Since her father had helped the late emperor to properly nurture the Ninth Prince, he had better not disappoint her.
Achoo!
Murong Zhi, far away, couldn't help but sneeze.
The man looked to be in his early forties, but his face was handsome and dashing, and upon closer inspection, he bore a resemblance to Murong Jin.
Holding many letters in his hands, he finally rubbed the tip of his nose and sighed.
If his daughter finds out that he is secretly helping Di Junlan, will she disown him?
If it weren't for the dog emperor ordering him to assist Di Junlan, he wouldn't have left the capital. Besides, given his daughter's methods and abilities, if Di Junlan did anything to displease her or cross her line, the Great Cheng Dynasty would have to change emperors...
And the emperor is definitely his daughter...
Although his daughter was usually quite calm, he knew from the strength she had shown in the military that she was not to be underestimated. It was normal for her to be ambitious, after all, she was his and his daughter…
As for what the imperial advisor mentioned, he dared not tell his daughter, otherwise she would really kick him out of the house.
As for that so-called Imperial Star and Phoenix Star...
"Li Wei!"
"Your subordinate is here." Upon hearing the voice, a guard appeared in the study.
"Go, stir up trouble between His Majesty and the Regent."
After receiving the order, Li Wei disappeared into the study.
Although he was far away, he knew about the things his daughter and Di Junlan had been doing behind the scenes.
Emperor Junlan is growing up. Although his daughter is strong, she can be betrayed if she is not careful. Therefore, as someone in a high position, he must maintain a skeptical attitude and not easily trust even his closest relatives.
"Master, it's late."
Murong Jin nodded, "Let's go back."
Yi Er pushed her wheelchair, "Zunlan accidentally ruined one of His Majesty's secret places."
Murong Jin frowned deeply. "What's the situation with Di Junlan?"
Yi Er: "No action has been taken yet."
Murong Jin: "Since you accidentally did something wrong to them, you should make amends."
Yi Er understood what his master was talking about. "But master, how much compensation should we offer?"
"three times."
Yi Er: "...Okay."
Three times the price! Didn't Di Junlan get a huge advantage?
The final message Emperor Junlan received was that the Regent's men were capturing an enemy traitor nearby and accidentally destroyed his base in the process, and in the end, the enemy paid three times the price in compensation...
Di Junlan fell silent, thinking he had been discovered. He didn't expect Murong Jin to send his subordinates to apologize in person.
Although it was a restaurant, the sudden interruption of the transaction made him suspect that it was arranged by Murong Jin...
However, since the important things had been discovered, Di Junlan looked at the compensation amount, which was indeed three times the amount, and there were also some basic considerations included.
