"Scholar Jun!" Cang Mu stiffly stopped me when he walked to the gate of the other courtyard of Jun's residence.
I turned my head, and my frozen nose kept spitting out white air.
"Actually... My lord, he..." He stopped me, but Cang Mu was hesitant, not knowing where to start.
But since Beichen Shaoyuan was mentioned, I couldn't help but prick up my ears and listen carefully to what he said.
"Your Highness, he's very... very..." Cang Mu murmured for a long time, and almost scratched his head and choked out a word, "kindness!"
"Huh?" I couldn't help but smile, the word kindness can be used on anyone, Beichen Shaoyuan? Don't get along!
Seeing me laughing, Cang Mu glared at me and said seriously:
"Maybe the lord sometimes acts unruly, but it's just because the love and hate are clear. Don't misunderstand that the lord is murderous. If you know what crimes those people have committed, you will know that they are all people who deserve to be killed!"
"What crime?"
"This..." Cang Mu frowned and thought for a while, "Excuse me for the inconvenience!"
"Then why do you decide that they should be killed?" I sneered coldly.
"Please believe me!" Cang Mu said anxiously, "Your Highness is definitely the most thoughtful and least damaging choice!"
To say it is to say it in vain! I nodded to him perfunctorily, just wanting to hurry into the house and warm up.
"Wait a minute!" Cang Mu called out to me again.
I had to turn back patiently, shrinking into my robe.
"Master Jun, please don't forget what you promised me!" He said to me sincerely.
I was about to ask something when I suddenly remembered that he had also said something so sincere to me.
"Please don't hurt the prince!"
In the heart of this loyal guard, Beichen Shaoyuan is a kind person who has his own principles for doing things, so everything he does is excusable and should be executed unconditionally!
"Cang Mu, how long have you been with King Xie?" I couldn't help but be a little curious.
"I've been following the prince since I was a child, for more than 20 years!" Cang Mu replied inexplicably.
"You believe him that much?"
Cang Mu looked at me and nodded extremely solemnly.
In 20 years, even if Beichen Shaoyuan could disguise and hide again, it would be impossible to hide from the confidant guards who get along with each other day and night. Moreover, a person's temperament is even more imitated if he can't pretend, so it may not be difficult for others to obey. But it's not easy for a character like Cang Mu to give up without a certain amount of personal charm. Perhaps, I should really get to know Beichen Shaoyuan.
But do I still have a chance
With a wry smile, I stepped into the yard. The main hall was brightly lit, and Xiao Jia, Yin Yi and Qiu Qiu were all sitting at the table waiting for me.
"Miss! You're back!" As soon as Xiao Jia saw me, she rushed up with tears in her eyes, "I thought... I thought..."
I wiped a tear for her and said with a smile, "Do you think I can't come back?"
"Bah, bah, bah! Don't say anything unlucky!" Xiao Jia hurriedly covered my mouth, "We are worried to death during the absence of Miss!"
"Why did you forget? You're still called Miss!" I saw that she was too sad, so I deliberately distracted her, "How do you know I'll be back?"
"Look at how anxious I am!" Xiaojia stuck out her tongue embarrassedly, "Just now, His Royal Highness King Xie sent someone to say that the young master is back safe and sound, so we can rest assured!"
It turned out to be so, after a while, I sat down quietly and had a chat with Yin Yi.
From what he said, I learned that the DPRK had undergone drastic changes during the month I was in a coma.
First of all, it was naturally the big wedding of Beichen Tianheng. The queen was Dongling Weiyang. At the same time, there were dozens of concubines who were ordained. The major families have basically taken care of them, but I am surprised that Dong Jiaorao is also among the concubines.
"Didn't Concubine Dong get permission to even reward plums because she angered the empress and concubine?" I asked strangely. This feng shui is changing too fast!
"Because Concubine Dong's uncle is in charge of the Ministry of Household, if you offend him, this will be difficult to handle!" Yin Yi gestured with three fingers.
I suddenly realized that the Ministry of Household is the granary of the world, the royal treasury, no wonder Beichen Tianheng is also afraid of three points.
"And—" Yin Yi pondered a little, frowned and said, "The emperor and the concubine changed their previous state and strongly urged the establishment of the Dong family as a concubine."
I understand this. Shun Mi must have become angry because Weiyang violated her intentions. I thought that she had driven away the most threatening Dong Jiaorao for Weiyang, and now she is brought into the palace, naturally, I hope she will target Weiyang everywhere.
I can't help but sigh, the emperor also has the troubles of the emperor, marrying a wife is like choosing vegetables in the market, you have to weigh it again and again on the scale, you can't bias this, you can't thicken that. When choosing a concubine, what Beichen Tianheng considers is not which girl is the best, and which one is the most compatible, but which one he marries will bring the greatest benefits, and which one he marries will not cause any resentment.
He was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he no longer had the power to express his true feelings. His marriage was just a deal. It was he who understood this truth too early and told me when he was in the first grade building. "Accompanying you forever and never giving up" is quite a feeling.
I wish to have one heart, and never leave forever.
The requirement seems simple, but it is the most difficult to achieve.
"By the way! Huang Shangshu is not involved in the case of corruption of tributes, why is the emperor still silent?"
"There's no evidence! Besides, Huang Shangshu is also an important member of the court. You can't move if you say it, and you still don't understand the reason why you can move your whole body with one stroke?" Yin Yi shook his head. It seems that this is really difficult to do.
"Are you saying that Huang Shangshu is my father's person, he naturally won't sit back and ignore it?" I speculated, "But if there is real evidence, the father can't protect him!"
"Master?" Yin Yi glanced at me embarrassedly, "Last time you tested Huang Shangshu, Jun Xiang was already furious, this time—"
"What are you afraid of!" I slapped my chest, "Is my own son not as good as an outsider?"
"Besides! Think about the orphans of the Ramuo family, Dabao's parents who were escaping from the famine and starved to death, and Babao's family who were unable to bear the burden of being unjustly executed by corvée. How many people like this suffered because of those corrupt officials, they should not have received Punishment?" I was so excited that I coughed violently.
"Master, slow down!" Yin Yi hurriedly came to check my pulse.
"I'm fine! I'll just take a break!" I pushed him away, keeping things from them for a long time, only adding to my worries.
Yin Yi glanced at me suspiciously, and when he saw that I had calmed down, he handed me a glass of water.
"What are you going to do, Master?"
"I will go to the palace to see the emperor. If I can convince the emperor to do him, we will have a chance of winning!"
"But the emperor can't help him without real evidence!" Yin Yi frowned.
"I will have my own way!" I smiled mysteriously at him, "Mr. Yin, just don't worry!"
Yin Yi didn't know what medicine I was selling in my gourd, but his warm smile changed into a thoughtful look.
"If there is help from the king, this matter will be easier to handle." For a moment, he said to himself if he meant something.
I just laughed and didn't answer, he thought I would go to Beichen Shaoyuan for help, but, am I still worthy of his help
