"My lord, the Imperial Advisor has returned."
Murong Jin calmly straightened her clothes. "You're here, so you're here."
Yi Er choked for a moment, "No, Master, the Imperial Advisor is here. If he figures out something, we might be targeted by His Majesty."
He still remembered the old monk he met at the border, who said that his master was some kind of imperial star descending from heaven…
They were all shocked. Their master was the descending of the Emperor Star, which meant that the Great Cheng Dynasty was about to change hands!
They kept this matter buried deep in their hearts, not daring to say it aloud.
Murong Jin revealed a smile that made Yi Er feel a little uneasy.
"Master, please don't look at me like that, it's scary."
Murong Jin: "Make preparations, we'll leave the palace in a couple of days."
"good."
Murong Jin thought that he would stop coming to see him from that day on, but recently they have been having dinner together.
"By the way, Your Majesty, I have already instructed the imperial kitchen to prepare some light food for you."
Murong Jin felt a lump in her throat.
well.
Looks like I'll need to sneak out for a meal.
"Your Majesty, I thank you."
"Your Majesty is too kind. This is not a court session, nor is it a business meeting. Your Majesty can treat me as a friend."
Murong Jin responded. If he were a friend, he would have been beaten up by her by now, instead of still eating his meal politely across from her.
"What is the Regent's opinion on the matter of Minister Chen?"
Murong Jin slowly swallowed a mouthful of food, saying, "I believe this should serve as a warning to others."
"There are also people in the Ministry of War. I have already sent Li Huan to investigate. Perhaps soon, we will give Your Majesty some good news."
Emperor Junlan was surprised that Murong Jin told him everything he had been doing in secret.
"By the way, Your Majesty, not only the Six Ministries, but also the Three Departments need to be thoroughly investigated, as there are bound to be people hiding among them."
Di Junlan didn't know what to say. Murong Jin had told him all his bargaining chips.
"Very well, then I will await news from the Regent."
Murong Jin took a bite of food and said, "I will do my best."
The food today was inexplicably delicious; I don't know if it's because it came from the imperial kitchen or something else.
"By the way, Regent, I also have some news to tell you."
Murong Jin: "..."
The two were like confidants, pouring their hearts out to each other, even though what they talked about were spies and corrupt officials in the court...
This was truly the most proper meal I've ever had.
Due to health reasons, Emperor Junlan did not allow her to attend court. If there was anything, she could be notified by someone. Whether she attended court or not was not important; the main thing was to take care of her health.
As soon as this news came out, some officials believed that the regent had been stripped of his power to attend court and was no longer allowed to participate in politics, which caused a great deal of sighs among the people.
Murong Jin was happy to have some peace and quiet. He sent someone to inform Yi Er that he had taken her away from the palace.
"By the way, Master, while you've been in the palace for more than half a month, Miss Biao is almost in the capital. She might arrive tonight."
Murong Jin: "..." Is it too late for her to return to the palace now?
After court, Emperor Lan originally wanted to go find Murong Jin, since he had been dining with Murong Jin every day recently. However, someone came to inform him that Murong Jin had left the palace and returned to the Regent's Palace.
"My lord, I heard from my spies that the Regent's cousin is coming."
Di Junlan's fingers curled slightly. "Cousin?"
"Yes, they are relatives from the Regent's mother's side."
Emperor Junlan thought for a moment. Murong Jin was already twenty-five years old, and he didn't have a single woman by his side, not even a maidservant or a concubine...
"What kind of woman do you think the Regent prefers?"
Cheng Er: "...I don't know. The Regent joined the army when he was sixteen or seventeen. The soldiers were all roughnecks. Even when they returned to the capital, they only stayed for a while before going back..."
As for women, there really aren't any; as for men... you can't just think about that.
"Cousin~~~"
Before she was seen, her voice was heard; it was so sweet and delicate that it gave people goosebumps. Even Murong Jin, sitting in her wheelchair, couldn't help but want to stand up and run away.
Yi Er couldn't help but rub his arms. "Master, your idea of moving out is correct."
Murong Jin: "..."
A slender figure rushed towards them. Murong Jin immediately turned her wheelchair around and changed direction. Before Yi Er could react, he was tackled to the ground...
The two figures fell directly into the grass beside them. Murong Jin calmly patted the grass leaves that had gotten on her body and arms from their fall.
"Ooh! Yi Er! Why didn't you dodge!"
Murong Jin looked at the two people who had gotten up and were sitting on the ground. Yi Yi was already standing beside her, holding a small teapot in his hand. Murong Jin held the steaming tea in her hand, blew on it symbolically, and then took a sip.
"This tea is quite good today."
Yi Yi: "Thank you for the praise, Master."
Yi Er patted the dust off his clothes and said, "Miss, why do you always pounce on me like this?"
The woman got up, dressed in green, with two small braids on her head. She had a slender figure and a touch of baby fat on her face, making her look cute and pretty.
She pouted and complained, "It's because I've been locked up for too long, I'm like a wild horse that's broken free..."
"Pfft." Murong Jin couldn't help but chuckle. This girl had compared him to a wild horse that had broken free of its reins...
Is it wild?
It is indeed a bit wild.
What brings you to the capital?
"They came to visit you, you don't know my dad, your uncle, he's always making me learn all those things like music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and poetry... He even says that if girls learn more, they won't be easily deceived by men in the future..."
Murong Jin looked at her and said, "Uncle is right."
"Oh~~ Cousin, you say so too? If a man has good character, he won't deceive an ignorant girl. So it's all because the man's parents didn't raise him well."
Murong Jin: "...The world is vast and full of wonders. Besides, everyone's experiences are different. Good and evil are not determined by teaching. Some people are born evil..."
"Oh~ But my father won't let me learn what I want to learn. He says that's not something girls should learn. What's wrong with wielding swords and spears? There used to be female generals."
Murong Jin chuckled lightly, "I'll have someone tell my uncle."
"Yay~ I love you the most, brother!"
He hugged Murong Jin's neck and rubbed against her, but Yi Er eventually pulled him down.
"Men and women should not touch each other, Miss."
"Hmph, what's wrong with me being intimate with my cousin? I even want to be his wife."
Yi Er: "..."
That would mean not only the old prince's lineage would end, but also that of my uncle's family.
Murong Jin coughed, "You can't just say things like that."
"Hmph ╯^╰"
Huo Yun'er squatted down next to Murong Jin and asked, "So, cousin, do you have a woman you like? How about I?"
Murong Jin reached out and tapped her forehead. "Not very good."
Okay~_~
