I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Rong Jiao is arrogant, and she is always the only one who thinks about things, and she doesn't worry too much at all.

After all, it was the Li family who taught him, and that little family spirit still cannot be changed.

Even after so many years in the capital, her vision and structure are still so small.

But Sun Ningsi was different. Sun Ningsi was raised in the capital.

How can Rong Jiao compare with Sun Ning?

Sun Ningsi was very happy when she heard Xuanyuan Jin's words.

She knew that in Xuanyuan Jin's heart, she was much more important than that woman Rong Jiao.

So what if Rong Jiao has an heir now?

After all, she is just a barbarian woman.

Thinking of Xuanyuan Jin telling her before that Rong Jiao had some dirty tricks to conceive a child, Sun Ningsi wished she could beat the child in Rong Jiao's belly right now.

But she knew she couldn't do this.

There is currently no heir in the Eighth Prince's Mansion, which will inevitably lead to criticism.

Even those who belong to the clan prince, if they knew that the prince had no heirs, they would probably...

Sun Ningsi had something to worry about, and she was no longer angry about Rong Jiao using her child to provoke her.

So what if this child is Rong Jiao?

It really makes a difference who this child is raised by in the future.

With the prince's current dislike for Rong Jiao, how could he allow her to be a satisfied woman raising his only son?

Thinking of Rong Jiao's future situation, Sun Ningsi's mood improved.

It's not like she didn't warn Rong Jiao before, but it's a pity that the woman is short-sighted. Now she actually wants to take her place with just one child. It's really a wishful thinking.

Although the child in Rong Jiao's belly did pose a threat to Sun Ningsi, Sun Ningsi calmed down after seeing what Rong Jiao did.

Now that someone heard what Xuanyuan Jin was discussing with her, Sun Ningsi knew that Rong Jiao was just a toy for Xuanyuan Jin's entertainment.

In the palace, Sima Lian was kneeling on the ground, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

In the past, when he saw the emperor again, it would not be like this.

He was not worried that the emperor would dispose of him, but he was worried that his children would not be recovered as a result.

Thinking of his son, Sima Lian couldn't help but look sad.

It was because he failed to protect the child that he suffered so much.

Thinking of his first wife, Sima Lian felt even more sour in his heart.

The emperor originally thought that when Sima Lian came today, he would tell some of his crimes.

But now seeing Sima Lian like this, the emperor frowned.

He also saw how close Sima Lian was to Lao Ba during this period.

Although it was not found out what the two men were plotting, it was true that Lao Ba sent people to contact the people behind the scenes.

I just don’t know how much this matter has to do with Sima Lian.

Facing Sima Lian, the emperor's heart was very complicated.

Sima Lian was once his savior. Without Sima Lian, he would not be where he is today.

But now that he is in this position, he has to do some things.

"Sima Aiqing, don't you have anything to say?"

Sima Lian was a little stunned, but when he looked up and saw the emperor's expression, he knew that the emperor must have known something.

But thinking about his actions during this period, how could the emperor not know about such a big movement?

He had only deceived himself before.

Thinking of this, Sima Lian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I deserve death. I have betrayed your majesty's trust in me."

Seeing Sima Lian grabbing the ground with his head, the emperor's hand holding the jade pendant could not help but tighten a little.

"Sima Lian, there is actually one thing that I don't understand very well. Can you help me clarify it?"

Hearing the emperor calling him by his first and last name, Sima Lian couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

The anxiety just now was gone, and instead there was peace and tranquility.

There is a feeling that the stone in my heart has finally fallen to the ground.

The emperor couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw Sima Lian's expression.

"Your Majesty, I must tell you everything I know."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

For some reason, seeing Sima Lian like this, he seemed to see the high-spirited number one scholar back then.

Although he was young at the time, he had not forgotten Sima Lian's demeanor back then.

No one expected that a person he admired very much back then would now become his minister.

The emperor couldn't help but sigh that things in the world are impermanent.

Looking at the emperor's expression, Sima Lian didn't know what the emperor wanted to ask.

But since the emperor even knew about Xuanyuan Jin, he had nothing to hide.

"I don't understand, you have been honest all your life, why would you suddenly choose Lao Ba?"

Sima Lian was stunned, not expecting that the emperor would ask about this matter.

But thinking about what the emperor did during this period, Sima Lian probably guessed some of it.

I'm afraid that the people under Xuanyuan Jin did something excessive, or something touched the emperor's bottom line.

Seeing that Sima Lian fell silent, the emperor was not in a hurry, but waited for him.

After a long time, Sima Lian kowtowed to the emperor.

"At this point, I have nothing to hide from Your Majesty."

"I am not the eighth prince of the team, but I promise that the eighth prince will help him when he needs it."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but narrowed his eyes.

"Which civil servants in the court are you referring to?"

Sima Lian nodded, "That's all I can do."

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"My dear, you still underestimate yourself. I had great trust in you back then. Even if you want to nominate the Eighth Prince, I might really consider it."

Sima Lian was stunned. Seeing the seriousness in the emperor's eyes, Sima Lian felt a little uncomfortable.

"I have betrayed His Majesty's trust, but the Eighth Prince may not be able to take on such a big responsibility."

The emperor looked at Sima Lian with a puzzled expression.

"Since you know he can't take on a big job, why do you still want to help him?"

This matter has always been something that the emperor did not understand, although he had sent people to guard the emperor and Xuanyuan Jin's house.

He watched every move of these two people, but he really couldn't guess Sima Lian's purpose.

Sima Lian looked at the emperor's doubtful eyes and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"I have to do this."

The emperor looked at Sima Lian's expression and knew that he was not lying.

"What's the reason?"

"The war was going on back then, and the Fanbang people took the opportunity to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty. My wife and children were caught in the flames of the war. Unfortunately, my wife died, but the child survived."

When the emperor heard Sima Lian's words, his expression became even weirder.

He never expected that Sima Lian actually had a child.

"Where's the kid?"

"I was adopted by a herdsman from Fanbang."

The emperor was confused.
