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

Having said this, Gao Liyan looked even more worried.

Shi Boming: “…”

This, this is indeed a bit worrying.

At this time, Shi Boming didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Gao Liyan didn't expect him to come up with any useful suggestions. He looked up and saw that his colleagues had all left. He sighed and said, "Well, everyone has left. Let's go too and talk while we walk."

"it is good."

Shi Boming nodded in response, then left Jingguang Hall side by side with him.

……

In the imperial study room.

Feng Xingjun ordered Fulu to guard outside the door, and called Fu Yutang and Feng Xingling to sit on the Luohan couch nearby. Then he handed Feng Xingling the memorial that Fu Yutang had presented in the morning court and motioned for him to take a look.

Feng Xingling didn't understand why, but he did as he was told.

He lowered his head and began to read. The more he read, the gloomier his expression became, and the tighter his brows furrowed.

After a long while, he closed the memorial, raised his head, looked at Fu Yutang beside him and said, "Atang suspects that the assassin is backed by a high-ranking official of Ximing or the crown prince?"

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Fu Yutang concealed the fact that the Second Prince of Ximing might have come to the capital in his memorial.

She only said that after she was assassinated, she suddenly remembered that the Duke of Zhenguo who was guarding the border had mentioned in a memorial some time ago that Ximing seemed to have the idea of ​​negotiating peace. Considering that the assassin this time used the martial arts of Ximing, she made some reasonable inferences and estimated that this incident was related to the Ximing royal family.

"So, Ximing's peace talks are actually a cover. If they really wanted to negotiate peace, what happened last night wouldn't have happened at all," Feng Xingling said.

"That's true." Fu Yutang nodded.

Feng Xingjun had the same idea. But...

He frowned, looked at the two people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "But if the other party is unwilling to negotiate, some of their actions show sincerity. Even the Grand Tutor thinks that Ximing really wants to negotiate this time.

You all know that the Grand Tutor has always been a man of extraordinary talent and insight. It's impossible that even he could be deceived, right?"

How could Fu Yutang know whether Shao Jingan was really smart?

She has never met Shao Jingan in person since she lost her memory.

The only impression I have of Shao Jing'an is from the bits and pieces of information that other people have said.

It is said that Shao Jing'an seemed to dislike her very much and he was always in a bad mood every time he saw her.

After she failed the palace examination, the other party felt ashamed and ruthlessly "fired" her in public, threatening to no longer acknowledge her as his disciple.

Fu Yutang felt that if Shao Jingan really had an insight, he should be able to see that she failed the palace examination on purpose.

Even if he didn't praise her highly, he would at least feel gratified for her strategy of killing two birds with one stone, and think that she lived up to his teachings.

But Shao Jing'an didn't do that. Instead, he scolded her in public and wanted to expel her from the sect despite the late emperor's objection.

After she entered the Ministry of Justice, in order to express her protest, she packed up her bag and ran to the border to support the Duke of Zhenguo.

He acted very angry throughout the whole process, as if he was a brainless person who valued face above all else. This really did not match outsiders' evaluation of him.

Hearing Feng Xingjun talking about this, she shook her head honestly and said, "I don't know, I didn't feel that way."

I don’t know if Shao Jing’an is really that smart, and I don’t think Ximing really wants to negotiate peace.

Feng Xingling always followed Fu Yutang and stood by her side unconditionally, and nodded vigorously.

Regardless of whether the Taifu is really smart, his performance back then was truly disappointing.
