Finally, Sun Ci came to his senses and went to find Zhou Chaoyang with Zheng Yuan.

In the bamboo forest outside the kitchen, Zhou Chaoyang was drinking tea. He drank some of the tea that his father had kept for Gu Changfeng the next day.

Zhou Chaoyang raised his eyelids, blew away the floating tea leaves on the surface, and took a sip.

"What are you two doing here?"

Zheng Yuanqi had a look that said, "If I had known, I would not have come." Sun Ci was so scared that he spoke before Zheng Yuanqi got mad: "Sir, what happened that night did not work. We are here to ask what to do next."

Zhou Chaoyang curled the corners of his mouth.

Sun Ci felt that something was wrong and he had said the wrong thing.

"Of course, help me kill someone." Zhou Chaoyang put the teacup on the table nonchalantly, as if killing someone was just an ordinary little thing to him.

Zheng Yuanqi even trembled when he saw it.

"Brother Zhou, you mean, you mean the medicine that time..." Zheng Yuanqi realized for the first time that he might have done something big. Fortunately, the matter was exposed, otherwise he would really... go to the jail in his own home.

Zhou Chaoyang touched his trembling face with his broad palm and said in a deep voice, "What's wrong, brother? Didn't you know it all along? Although his current grades are not as good as mine, if he wins the last monthly exam and becomes the Minister of Rites, everything will be too late. Although some things are beyond our control, what if he wants to seek revenge? Brother can only kill him now."

"But, but, if it succeeds, then..."

Zhou Chaoyang knew that he was talking about the incident when he asked him to "poison" Wen Heng at the banquet, so he chuckled and said, "It's okay. The drug will only make you weak and will soon dissipate in the body. It can't be detected." He rubbed Zheng Yuanqi's soft cheek with the jade ring on his thumb. Although the action was so intimate, his tone made people feel cold all over: "Even if it is detected, can't your elder brother protect you? Besides, there is still me."

Zheng Yuanqi's elder brother is the next Minister of Justice.

"Feeling weak all over? Isn't that poison?" Zheng Yuanqi was indeed stupid. He couldn't grasp the key point even at this point.

Sun Ci explained on the side: "I have the backup plan." The original plan was to let him do the killing.

Zhou Chaoyang looked at the two idiots jokingly and waved his hand.

"Gu Shizi has ruined my plans time and again. I thought he was someone I could curry favor with, but he turned out to be a man blinded by lust. He tried to please the Ministry of Rites while supporting the Wen family. Did he really think he could control the relationship between the two? What kind of talent can come out of that pile of trash? He's still a mediocre person like his brother! He studied so hard that he barely got fifth place in the exam... The Ministry of Rites can only belong to my Zhou family. If Wen Heng wants to touch it, he'd better hand over his life!"

Zheng Yuanqi was so frightened that he almost fell off his chair.

Sun Ci hurriedly moved closer and pressed the man's shoulders against his waist.

Zhou Chaoyang was angry, but now was not the time to attack Wen Heng, so he could only lie dormant. He looked at his two useless subordinates, snorted coldly, and pushed the teacup in his hand forward, "Drink it, I'm going back."

After the people walked away, Sun Ci seemed to come to his senses and sat down, leaning against Zheng Yuanqi. "If I fail again, what will I do if I am the next person?"

Zheng Yuanqi finally started sobbing.

"You knew it all along, and you kept it from me." The porcelain-white little face was full of tear marks.

Sun Ci couldn't bear to look at him and hugged him in his arms, "I didn't want you to know so early." Your father and your elder brother protected you too well. You didn't understand until you were a teenager that some things and the hatred between some people can only be resolved with a knife.

Later, when Sun Ci thought of this day, he just sighed that he didn't have the ability to protect him.
