cabinet first lady

Chapter 31 From now on, I will rise to the sky

Finally returned to the capital.

As soon as he arrived at Zhang's mansion, Ruan Muyang went to visit the old lady, told her about Li's recovery, and then paid a symbolic visit to Wang.

Already three months pregnant, Wang's belly is already showing.

Ruan Muyang also got good news.Zhang Anyi was recommended by Luo Jie to the Holy Master, and took charge of the compilation of "Records of Emperor Guanghua Chongdi".It is a very honorable thing to be able to compile the records for the first emperor, and his "Records of Guanghua Chongdi" will be passed on to future generations as historical materials.

After not seeing each other for more than two months, seeing Zhang Anyi again, seeing him smiling gently at him, Ruan Muyang felt weak in his heart.

"I haven't congratulated the second master yet."

After a separation of more than two months, the husband and wife are naturally very affectionate.

Zhang Anyi stroked her side face, and said with a smile: "Madam seems to have lost some weight. Is the journey going well?" He didn't ask about Li's condition, and Ruan Muyang came back only after knowing Li's health.

Feeling the soft itch on his cheek, Ruan Muyang said: "Naturally it went well. Is everything going well for the second master in the palace recently?"

"nature."

Ruan Muyang lowered his eyes.Soon a wave will be set off, and now the tranquility in the hall is only the last tranquility.

"I don't know what Madam is worried about?" Zhang Anyi didn't know whether he asked intentionally or not.

Facing his eyes that were covered by a smile and couldn't see the bottom of his eyes, Ruan Muyang smiled more and more charmingly: "It's nothing, it's just that the eyelids always twitch before going to Jingzhou, and I still feel worried."

"Did Madam ever miss me?" It was time to rest, and the dim candlelight made the atmosphere in the room beautiful.

Feeling him approaching slowly, Ruan Muyang's body tensed up as he put his hand on her waist, shyly avoiding his increasingly hot gaze and said, "Of course I wanted to."

Probably because of the long separation, she missed him in her heart, and under his tenderness, her defenses seemed to be temporarily let go, and her softness was in a mess.She plucked up the courage to ask, "Did Second Master ever miss me?"

"Let Madam know how much I miss you." Zhang Anyi chuckled, then pushed her down on the bed, leaned over and kissed her.

Thinking about it, he seemed to want Ruan Muyang to experience that yearning for himself.

On the second day, Zhang Anyi got up refreshed and went to the palace to edit the "Records of Emperor Guanghua Chongdi", while Ruan Muyang was sore all over his body, and after looking at the traces on his body, he got angry for a long time before getting up and ordering Fang Fang and Dian Cui to come from Jingzhou The special products brought back are distributed to each yard.

After talking to the old lady, Ruan Muyang sent some to Luo Mansion and Zhu Mansion respectively.

Just when Luo Yu went to follow her mother to the temple outside the city and was not there, Ruan Muyang sent someone to send her there.As for Mrs. Zhu, she went to Zhu's mansion in person.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Muyang went to Jingzhou, brought some things back and still thought about herself. Madam Zhu was naturally very happy. She felt that Ruan Muyang not only knew how to measure things, but also handled things in an orderly manner.

Some prejudices that were still in the bottom of my heart were completely gone, and they were not acquainted with each other.

"I heard that Zhang Xiuzhuan was in charge of the compilation of "Guanghua Chongdilu" a few days ago, and I heard that those elders who entered the cabinet also did compilations when they were in Hanlin. Your life will be better in the future. .” Mrs. Zhu said with a smile.

Ruan Muyang smiled.

Yes, and Zhang Anyi did the editing within half a year after he entered the Hanlin Academy, and it usually took nearly a year for others to have the opportunity.

Mrs. Zhu asked again: "I heard from our master that the Lianghuai area has been raining for the past few days and almost flooded. Is your journey easy?"

"Because it was raining heavily, it was a bit difficult to walk."

"It's not easy for you, a lady from the servant's family, hasn't she been out of the capital before?"

Ruan Muyang nodded, and asked, "Madam Zhu should have been to more places."

"We are not from the capital city, so of course we lived outside the capital city. That happened in the past. Ever since our master became a master and entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, we have been busy every day without stopping." Mrs. Zhu said I am a little amazed at these.

"Oh? Is Master Zhu very busy recently?" Ruan Muyang asked tentatively.

Mrs. Zhu has a hot personality, but she has no intentions: "Yes, especially these few days, I don't know what the other censors are busy with, they leave early and return late all day."

Ruan Muyang's heart rose.

Seeing that the censors are about to move.

After returning from the Zhu Mansion, the old lady asked about the situation, and said to Ruan Muyang: "You also send those things to the Ruan's house. Your trip to Jingzhou lasted more than two months, and your parents are probably worried about it." , go back and have a look."

Usually, after a woman gets married, if she has nothing to do, she can run to her natal family.People who have traveled too much with their in-laws will mind.

Ruan Muyang originally planned to find an excuse to go back, but now that the old lady said so, she can go back with permission.She felt a little emotional in her heart, and her eyes became more and more intimate when she looked at the old lady, she was really as kind as her grandmother. "Thank you grandma."

Ruan Muyang proudly chose to go back to Ruan's house on the day when Ruan Zhongling Xiu Mu was at home.

When Mrs. Zhao saw her, she was so distressed that she almost wiped her tears.

She was coquettishly raised at home, and she had never been out of the capital in Dalian for so long, but she went to Jingzhou alone all of a sudden, how could she not feel distressed as a mother?
Ruan Muyang comforted, "I'm back now, haven't I?"

"You look thinner. Jingzhou is so far away, and it was still raining at that time. I don't know how much you have suffered." Zhao asked, "After you went, how did your mother-in-law treat you? Is her illness better?" ?”

Mrs. Zhao knows how tiring it is to wait on illness.

Ruan Muyang didn't want to make Mrs. Zhao worry, so he said, "When I arrived, her health had already started to improve, and there were others helping me, so I would go to take care of her early every day. It was quite easy." If she knew that Mrs. Li was still Arranging for her to bring Zheng Shu back, she might be even more worried.

Mrs. Li sighed and said, "Fortunately, your parents-in-law are in Jingzhou all the year round. You don't spend much time together, so you are always more polite when you meet."

polite?Ruan Muyang didn't know if Mrs. Li would send her to the capital directly without her consent if she wasn't polite to her.

"Yes, mother, I'm already back, so don't worry about it." Ruan Muyang asked after comforting Li Shi for a while, "Is father in the study right now? I have something to ask him."

Mrs. Li looked at her, knowing that Ruan Muyang was thinking a lot, so she didn't ask the reason, but said: "It should be here, you go."

Ruan Zhongling was indeed in the study.

"Father."

"Did the trip to Jingzhou go well a few days ago?" Ruan Zhongling asked Ruan Muyang about going to Jingzhou as usual, and she came to him alone with some doubts in her heart.

Of the Ruan family's children, only two sons were taught by him, and the daughters were all restrained by Mrs. Li. He only intervened occasionally, so they usually talked very little.

After talking about the affairs of Jingzhou, Ruan Muyang hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice carefully: "Father, I went to Zhu's mansion a few days ago, and heard from Mrs. Zhu that Mrs. Zhu and the others seem to be busy recently. What are you talking about, you want to report people from the Six Departments."

As the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, Ruan Zhongling was inseparable from the Sixth Ministry, so he frowned immediately: "Oh? What's the matter?"

"Not very clear, but I vaguely heard Mrs. Zhu mention the name Qi Youguang."

Qi Youguang is the servant of the household department.

Hearing this name, Ruan Zhongling seemed to immediately think of something, and his face became serious.

There is a serious atmosphere in the study.

Ruan Muyang watched Ruan Zhongling's reaction, and found that he really knew the inside story.

After all, the six parts are closely related, and there are many people who share the same spirit.

The Ruan family suffered from this turmoil in their last life, and now they finally had a chance to change, Ruan Muyang's heart beat wildly, and his palms were sweating involuntarily.At the beginning of this turmoil, everyone did not expect that the follow-up would become so out of control, and nearly half of the officials of the Six Departments were killed.

Afraid that Ruan Zhongling would underestimate this matter, she reminded vaguely: "Father, with His Majesty's character, think about what happened before, if the matter is serious, His Majesty will definitely investigate to the end—"

In order to relieve the tension in her heart, she took a deep breath and continued: "This matter is related to the six departments. If the Holy One thoroughly investigates it to the end, it may have a wide impact."

Ruan Muyang's words reminded Ruan Zhongling of the situation that eight years ago because of a corruption case, all the ministers in the court and China were in danger, and they feared that they would not survive tomorrow.

Ruan Muyang looked at Ruan Zhongling's gloomy expression and said, "Father should make plans early."

Her voice was not loud, and she didn't have the dignified feeling when a man talked about government affairs. Her voice was soft like a woman's, and her extremely calm tone made people feel a bit chilled for no reason.

Every word she said struck Ruan Zhongling's heart, and the reverberation was so loud that it could not be calmed down for a long time.

"Does father know something?" Ruan Muyang looked at him carefully and reminded, "If father knows something, why not report it secretly in exchange for self-protection?"

Ruan Muyang's words startled Ruan Zhongling, and suddenly asked: "But what did Zhang Anyi hear in the palace?"

Naturally, he didn't think that a woman in the back room would know these things, let alone that a woman could think so much and even remind him.

Perhaps in Zhang Anyi's name, her words carry more weight and won't make him despise her.

Ruan Muyang did not deny it, but his words were more forceful: "Father, if the matter is really serious, please make a plan early. Moreover, the empress who was once able to persuade the Holy Majesty was seriously ill and bedridden, and I am afraid that everyone will control me at that time." It's out of the question."

In fact, the Empress Dowager would die shortly after the incident.Emperor Wu had a deep relationship with the queen and his wife, and respected the queen very much. The death of the queen also made him sad and angry.

The queen is kind and kind, and whenever Emperor Wu wanted to kill a minister, she would stop him.There are not a few ministers who have been preserved by the queen these years.After the Queen's death, Emperor Wu will become more murderous and suspicious, and no one can stop him.The bloody storm in Emperor Wu's later years kicked off after the death of the queen.

Seeing that Ruan Zhongling remained silent and his expression became more and more dignified, Ruan Muyang took a deep breath, and said the last and most serious words: "After all, if you are not careful, you will be implicated, and even all your families will be executed."

All the doors were copied and chopped.

These four words are too heavy.

Ruan Zhongling had been in the imperial court for many years, and he had seen many of his colleagues killed. The four words that came out of Ruan Muyang's mouth made him break out in cold sweat and the back of his neck felt cold.After all, being with a king is like being with a tiger, especially with Emperor Wu.

However, Ruan Muyang is not alarmist. In his last life, the Ruan family ended up like this.

Except for herself, who is Princess Yong'an, the rest of the family was killed.

Not one left.

At that time, she had no choice but to watch her relatives fall to the ground one by one.

Now speaking these words in the study, not only Ruan Zhongling's heart beat wildly, but also Ruan Muyang's.In addition to the tension and fear, she felt that the blood in her body also became hot, sweating from her forehead and back, as if something was agitating in her heart and was about to spurt out.

She has a chance to do it all over again, and she must not let the Ruan family make the same mistakes!

With her here, her parents, her elder brother and sister, as well as the whole Ruan family, will live a very good life. From then on, they will be on the rise!

After coming out of Ruan Zhongling's study, feeling the sunshine outside, Ruan Muyang breathed a sigh of relief.

The sun in July is still a bit poisonous, but at this moment, she feels that her body is warmed by the light, which is just right.

When he was about to bid farewell to Mrs. Zhao, Ruan Muyang ran into Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Ruan.

"Miss Si is back." Mrs. Huang had a smirk on her face.

Now that Ruan Muyang is the wife of the No. [-] scholar, no one dares to laugh at her for being a prostitute.

There was hatred in Ruan Muxi's eyes, as if he had a deep hatred with her.

Seeing this, Ruan Muyang straightened his back and hooked his lips.As an aunt and concubine, she has evil intentions and is destined to be trampled under her feet and unable to turn over.

At this time in the previous life, Ruan Muxi had long had a secret relationship with Ruan Zhongling's boss, the concubine son of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Industry.Ruan Zhongling was furious when he found out, and felt shameless, so he hastily sent her to the Ministry of Industry Minister's house as a concubine, and never cared about her again.

She was originally a concubine, but now she has become the concubine of a concubine.If it wasn't for her dishonesty, with her status as a servant girl, she would be able to marry a direct descendant like Chu's two daughters and become the head of the house.

In the upcoming turmoil, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was also implicated.

In this way, Ruan Muyang saved her life by mistake.

"Fifth Younger Sister looks very good today, as if there will be a happy event." Ruan Muyang's smile hinted, "I said to help my younger sister to meet her marriage, but now I have some eyebrows."

Ruan Muxi was provoked all of a sudden: "I don't want it! My marriage, why should I listen to you? Ruan Muyang! What are you?"

Ruan Muyang looked at her amusedly: "Fifth Sister is going to play tricks?"

Afterwards, she changed the topic, her voice was a bit cold, and she said mockingly: "Now that I am in my position, is it difficult for me to point you to a marriage? I advise Fifth Sister not to contradict me."

Ruan Muxi was so angry that she clenched her fist tightly and waited for her: "Ruan Muyang, are you still shameless? You stole my husband and son-in-law, and now you want to harm me?"

As soon as her words fell, Mrs. Huang slapped her hard, frowned and said, "Stop talking!"

Ruan Muxi covered her mouth, tears appeared in her eyes, extremely wronged.

"Aunt Huang, Fifth Younger Sister needs to take good care of her outspokenness, otherwise she will suffer when she gets married in the future." Ruan Muyang straightened his back, his lofty appearance made people dare not look directly at her.

Now she wants to tell them that there is a difference between concubine and concubine!
After returning from Ruan's house, Ruan Muyang seemed to be living peacefully, but actually he waited every day.

Her father paid enough attention to her words, and she also reminded that she could get rid of the relationship by secretly reporting. I believe that her father must know the importance and measure if he can step by step to become the minister of the Ministry of Industry.

The method of secretly reporting is the safest method that Ruan Muyang thought of for a long time.

After Ruan Muyang came back from Jingzhou, he walked around. From the eyes of others, it was just a relationship between some people, but he was noticed by two people.

One of them was Zhang Anyu who was staring at her all day, wanting to catch evidence of her affair.

"Second sister-in-law, Madam Zhu asked me to bring this to you." Zhang Anyu seldom came to Chuanyun Courtyard, and even when he did, he looked down upon Ruan Muyang.

What he brought were some pastries made by Mrs. Zhu herself.At that time, he happened to go to play with Zhu Shaoshi, and Mrs. Zhu asked him to bring it back.

"I'm sorry for my fourth brother." Ruan Muyang was used to his teasing, so he didn't take it seriously, "I heard that my second aunt likes to eat cakes, so my fourth brother can take some back to my second aunt."

Zhang Anyu snorted coldly and agreed.

Afterwards, he looked at Ruan Muyang again and said, "I never thought that with the temperament of the second sister-in-law, she would get so close to Mrs. Zhu." There was something in his words.

Sometimes, as long as you look at a person with malicious eyes, then what she does has impure motives.

Obviously Zhang Anyu saw Ruan Muyang in this way.

Ruan Muyang's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "The fourth brother broke young master Zhu's leg. Now, young master Zhu is still playing with the fourth brother regardless of the past?" She didn't try to explain, but with a clever The way he pushed the words to him.

Hearing the insinuation in her words that she broke a human leg, Zhang Anyu felt angry and snorted coldly: "I don't care about women like you."

Watching Zhang Anyu leave, Dian Cui said with a puzzled face: "Why does Fourth Young Master always target Madam like this?"

Ruan Muyang hooked his lips: "It's probably because teenagers at this age are all hedgehogs. Maybe in a few years, he will grow up."

Under the calm days, the undercurrent slowly surged.The officials of the DPRK and China also seemed to smell a hint of danger, and they all became cautious.

Until one day, Zhang Anyi didn't come back when he was supposed to be home on weekdays, and he still didn't come back from the palace at night, Ruan Muyang knew that the bloody storm in Emperor Wu's later years was about to begin.

The Qi Youguang case that shocked the government and the public on the second day of August finally broke out.

The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Wang, and Mr. Xu jointly reported that Hong Liangde, the chief envoy of Shandong, and Qi Youguang, the minister of the household department, conspired to embezzle. When collecting taxes, they set up a clever name, collecting car money, food money, treasury money, etc., and embezzled more than 200 million shi of grain with their colleagues, which is equivalent to more than half of the national treasury!
Emperor Wu was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case, not letting any of his followers be spared.

People in the court were panicked.

That night, Ruan Muyang waited until dawn before Zhang Anyi came back.

"Is the second master back?"

Thinking that Ruan Muyang was woken up, Zhang Anyi walked to the bed with exhaustion, stroked her cheek and said, "I woke up Madam."

He didn't know that Ruan Muyang hadn't slept all night and couldn't fall asleep.

"Why did the second master come back so late?" Seeing the blue stubble on Zhang Anyi's chin, Ruan Muyang felt a little distressed.

"A major event happened in the imperial court." Zhang Anyi said while taking off his clothes, "I'll come back and wash up, change my clothes and go back to the palace." His tone was rarely dignified.

Ruan Muyang immediately got up from the bed and helped him change his clothes.

She was very considerate, she didn't ask anything, and her movements were gentle enough to help him relieve his fatigue.She didn't ask, not only because she already knew what happened, but also because she was so tired seeing him, and couldn't bear to disturb him any more.

After washing up again, Zhang Anyi looked handsome again, except for the tired look on his face.

"It's still early, Ma'am, let's sleep a little longer." After seeing Ruan Muyang lying down, and planting a kiss on her forehead, Zhang Anyi looked at her, with an incomprehensible flash in his eyes, he turned and left.

In the next few days, most of the people in Beijing are destined to be unable to sleep.

It concerns the six departments, and the Qi Youguang case is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.

After a thorough investigation, it was discovered that many officials from the Sixth Department had private contacts with Qi Youguang, and they were probably his accomplices.

When the censors reported Qi Youguang back then, they did not expect so many people to be implicated.

People from Dali Temple and Metropolitan Procuratorate found out that the matter was serious and reported it to Emperor Wu immediately.The only thing I got was a cold word from Emperor Wu.

Kill, kill them all, let no one go.

Dali Siqing and Du Yushi were afraid of being angered, so they dared not slack off, and ordered the people below to investigate severely.

As a result, nearly half of the officials from the six ministries, including Minister of War, Minister of Punishment, and Minister of Industry, were imprisoned pending trial.

Ruan Muyang was in Chuanyun Courtyard every day, and during the day he asked Hanshi to go to the Ruan Mansion to inquire about news, and at night he quietly got the latest developments from Zhang Anyi's place.Even though she had expected it long ago, she still felt thrilled.

However, things are not over yet.

Every day when Zhang Anyi came back, he saw Ruan Muyang with a solemn expression, hesitant to ask him for news.Thinking that Ruan Zhongling was also in the sixth film, I revealed some to her every day.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was executed by the Holy Order that night, Zhang Anyi comforted him after returning: "Don't worry, your father is fine."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of Ruan Muyang's unfounded worries a few days ago, his eyes suddenly deepened, and he quietly explored.

The entire Ministry of Industry was almost completely annihilated, except for the servant, Ruan Zhongling, who was safe and sound.It is indeed a little strange.

Zhang Anyi has always been a very careful person.

Knowing that the Ruan family was fine, Ruan Muyang heaved a sigh of relief.

In the last life, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was investigated, and the entire Ministry of Industry, from Shangshu to Yuanwailang, was almost wiped out.Fortunately, nothing happened in this life.

It was not until recently that Ruan Muyang figured out why her father was framed and murdered by Xie Zhao despite being Xie Zhao's uncle.Xie Zhao is ambitious, but her father has always restrained him, making it difficult for him to use it. Even the uncle finally angered Xie Zhao and became his restraint and stumbling block.

Because of the intensive investigation, Dali Temple used torture to recruit accomplices when the officials were found, and countless officials confessed to their colleagues. Ruan Zhongling's secret report and extremely cooperative attitude afterwards seemed not so abrupt.

"It's good that my father is fine." Ruan Muyang raised his eyes, met Zhang Anyi's eyes, caught a trace of inquiry in his eyes, and felt a little nervous, "What is the second master looking at?"

In just an instant, Zhang Anyi's eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and he said, "Naturally I'm looking at Madam, she's a natural beauty."

Ruan Muyang blushed, trying to suppress the guilt and guilt that came out of no reason in his heart.

Even if she has something to hide from him, why doesn't he have something to hide from her?For example, the matter of Shen Wei.

She tried her best to marry him. She originally had guilt in her heart and wanted to make up for him if she could get revenge. Now something else came out of her heart, let alone drag him into the water, but she also Because of his sophistication and his unreasonable kindness to her since they got married, she still couldn't see through him and felt that it was not true.

The tenth day of August is another day that will be recorded in history.

Queen died.

Emperor Wu was very sad, and added Empress Qian as Empress Xiaojing, Zhenhui, Wenmuren and Zuotian Shengxian, posthumously named Empress Xiaojing.

From the young couple to the present, Emperor Wu and Empress Xiaojing have walked together for dozens of years.Even though there were so many concubines in the harem, Emperor Wu always had some respect and concern for her.Only Empress Xiaojing dared to persuade Emperor Wu to save people from his sword.

"Respectfully send Xiaojing Zhenhui Wen Muren and Zuotian Shengxian Queen Bintian!" The whole country mourned the death of a generation of virtuous queens.

Ruan Muyang knew that an even more violent bloodbath was coming.

Because Empress Xiaojing was in mourning, the ministers and the prince were in mourning, the Qi Youguang case was shelved for a month.

I thought this matter would settle down, but one month later, Emperor Wu ordered all the six officials who were originally imprisoned to be executed.

Emperor Wu became more bloodthirsty than before, and there were no one who dared to stop him, and people in the court were panicked.

He ordered the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to continue their thorough investigations and not let anyone slip through the net.

Further down the investigation, the local handling officials, various prefectures and counties, and prefectures and counties further down, were also killed.

Hundreds of officials, large and small, were involved in this case and were killed.Among them, some deserved their crimes, and many were killed unjustly.Xie Zhao, who had been hiding in the dark without showing his dew, took advantage of this time to conspire with Xu Hou to frame many officials and cleared many obstacles.And most of these are the forces of the Luo class.

Naturally, Luo Jie was not a vegetarian, and later it turned into a contest between two powerful ministers, all of whom lost soldiers and lost generals.

This is not all. After a thorough investigation by Dali Temple, the Minister of the Ministry of War and Xie Xin, the king of Yongjing, have been secretly communicating.This incident even touched Emperor Wu's Ni Lin.

A prince who holds the military power in his hands needs so much money, what else can he do besides support the army?
Obviously ambitious!Intended to rebel!

King Yongjing, who was under house arrest in the mansion, was recruited into the palace by Emperor Wu.

From a corruption case to a treason case, those who originally reported Qi Youguang did not expect it.The ministers of the DPRK and China were in fear, and even the teahouses and inns in the capital hung four big words-don't talk about state affairs.

However, in Chuanyunyuan, Ruan Muyang and Zhang Anyi often chatted about state affairs.Whether it was intentional or not, Zhang Anyi would bring her some news from the palace all day long.

It happened to be what Ruan Muyang wanted to hear.

Many officials in the DPRK and China were killed, and even one in the cabinet was found to have a relationship with Qi Youguang, and was executed by Emperor Wu.

When the cabinet was vacant and troublesome, Zhang Anyi, who was editing and writing in the Imperial Academy, was transferred to Wenyuan Pavilion to help write imperial edicts and memorials.Although he has not been officially canonized by the Holy Majesty, there is already a faint tendency to enter the cabinet.

Entering Wenyuan Pavilion is equivalent to becoming a close minister next to the Holy Majesty, and naturally there will be a lot of news to know.

"Second Master, do you think King Yongjing really intends to rebel?" Ruan Muyang asked in a low voice because the wall has ears.

In the previous life, King Yongjing's rebellion was confirmed, but she knew that Xie Zhao was involved in it, and she didn't know whether the rebellion was real or was framed.

Leaning on the bed, Zhang Anyi looked at her with a tired look on his face, and instead asked her the question: "What do you think Ma'am?"

There was turmoil in the court, and imperial decrees followed one after another.Zhang Anyi had just joined the cabinet, so these were naturally his jobs.He is very tired these days.

These days, Ruan Muyang is getting more and more nervous.Because she noticed that Zhang Anyi was guiding her to speak intentionally or unintentionally, and because she wanted to know, she couldn't help but say that she seemed to be slowly falling into the web he woven, and with time, there would be nowhere to hide.

It made her feel uneasy.

"Why did the second master ask me? What do I, a woman in the back house, know?" Ruan Muyang calmly pushed the question back.

Zhang Anyi's gentle eyes glowed with warmth under the candlelight, as if holding the person in front of him on the tip of his heart.

"These days, I found that Madam is very interested in the affairs of the court." He paused for a moment, then said while looking at Ruan Muyang's nervous expression, "But she also has some insights."

The coddling in his complimenting tone made Ruan Muyang feel that it was like the love between husband and wife: "I was not as good as a few sisters when I was studying at home, but now I seem to have finally found some strengths."

Zhang Anyi smiled, as if he agreed with her words, and then his tone gradually became serious: "The matter of King Yongjing is strange, I don't know if it is true or not, but there must be someone who contributed to it."

"Who does the second master think?" Ruan Muyang's heart rose.

"The prince has inherited Empress Xiaojing's benevolence and kindness, so he will not do such a thing. The only ones who can benefit from this incident are the other princes." At this point, Zhang Anyi's words became cryptic Get up, "Madam must have thought of it too."

It was actually seen by him.Ruan Muyang's heart beat wildly, but he didn't hide it: "Then what does the second master think about King Yong'an?"

Before going back home, and after entering the palace, Xie Zhao had a lot of thoughts about Ruan Muyang. They both knew what they were thinking, but they couldn't bring the matter to the table.

"King Yong'an..." The smile in Zhang Anyi's eyes slowly turned into a storm, so deep that he couldn't see clearly, "He is cruel and merciless, and he hides deeply. But now that the prince is weak, King Yongjing has no time to turn around , Looking at the other princes, he is the only one left. If it is the king, it is still unknown."

If it is a king, it is still unknown?
In this way, if Xie Zhao is suitable to be the king, for the sake of the world, for the sake of the country, will he recognize Xie Zhao as the king?
What if she wanted him to die anyway?

Ruan Muyang lowered his eyes, his heart felt cold, so he also missed the coldness in Zhang Anyi's eyes when he mentioned Xie Zhao.
