After the villain was defeated, she still had power in the government

"I can't just invite you and you come, right?"

Fu Yutang raised his eyebrows and said jokingly, "Master Ji is the reincarnation of a chaste boy, pure and innocent. As soon as I, a bad guy, invited you, you rushed to the appointment and even had your followers guard the door and closed it, leaving you and me alone in the room... Tsk tsk, you really have no sense of precaution at all. Fortunately, I am not in a good mood today, otherwise Master Ji's chastity would be in jeopardy again today."

Jixue: “…”

The man in front of me is really a dog's mouth that can't spit out ivory. Nothing he says is pleasing to the ear.

After a moment of silence, he said in a low voice, "I thought Master Fu was here to show off his achievements to me. After all, since Master Fu disappeared and returned to the capital, he has become the prime minister in less than half a year. Although he is an acting prime minister, he has a lot of power in his hands. During this period, he also successfully took the position of Jingzhao Yin. Now, he has successfully solved the case of the missing child and is more and more valued by the emperor. Not only is he the most popular in the court, but he is also famous among the people. Who among the people in the capital still remembers the rumors that Master Fu is a homosexual? Who still remembers that Master Fu once framed Prime Minister Liu? Who mentions Master Fu without praising his wisdom? As a commoner, how can I refuse Master Fu's invitation?"

"Everyone in the capital thinks that I am wise, what about Master Ji?" Fu Yutang looked at him and asked with a smile, "Does Master Ji think that I am wise?"

Jixue did not answer immediately, but turned her head to look out the window, her sight fell on the execution ground, and saw Yu Jiashan holding the files and explaining the crimes of the prisoners to the onlookers. She said calmly: "Of course. Master Fu was able to catch the kidnapper so quickly and rescue those kidnapped children. He must be wise and brave, and he is very perceptive."

"But I don't think so." Fu Yutang frowned slightly and said unhappily, "The reason I was able to catch those kidnappers was not because I was very observant, but because..."

She stretched out her tone, and when Jixue looked over, she smiled slightly, "I have an ironclad judgment. Because I know that no matter what I say, Master Ji will always be secretly cooperating with me."

Jixue was startled at first, then she smiled, with a hint of helplessness in her expression, and shook her head and said, "Master Fu really loves to joke."

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Fu Yutang was not angry. He held his chin with one hand and tapped the table with the other hand. He smiled and said, "Let's not beat around the bush. You don't have to hide it. Since you accepted my invitation today, you must have guessed my intention. Admit it, Jiang Yueming has been yours for a long time."

The tone was calm, but it carried an unquestionable affirmation.

The words "Jiang Yueming has been yours for a long time" were like thunderclaps from a clear sky, exploding in Jixue's ears. His handsome face, which was calm and indifferent in the last second, changed color instantly, and his pupils suddenly froze.

But soon, everything returned to normal.

Ji Xue pulled the corner of her mouth, with a helpless look on her face, shook her head and pretended to be stupid: "Master Fu is too suspicious. Ji and Master Jiang have no friendship. This is known to everyone. If Master Fu does not believe it, you can send someone to investigate."

"No need to rush to explain."

Fu Yutang took a sip of tea, looked up at Jiang Yueming who was sitting right above the execution ground, and said in a deep voice: "As the Minister of Justice, I always pay attention to evidence.

If you ask me, you had already started planning when I escaped from Ji Mansion - an opportunity for you to enter the court and compete with me.

If you want to compete with me, you must have real power.

In the court, the one closest to the power center and with the most real power is the Ministry of Personnel, which is in charge of the assessment and appointment and dismissal of officials. "
