After rebirth, I became a treacherous minister Black Moonlight

This was indeed beyond Gongsun Yanming's expectations.

Your Majesty and King Miao fell into a dry well, and the Prince's Mansion was wrongly accused. The most urgent task is to immediately send people to trap and search for the person.

However, it does not.

After Lu Yuan and his companions left, is there no one left to assist the prince?

No.

You should know that His Majesty had previously given Lu Zhaoyan several masters from the imperial palace.

Then there is only one possibility, that Lu Zhaoyan has issued an order that no one is allowed to fall into the trap.

Lu Zhaoyan is really patient enough to make such a bold decision at such a critical moment.

If he and Lu Yuan were not mortal enemies, Lu Zhaoyan would indeed be a more suitable monarch to assist.

Gongsun Yanming said sternly: "Your Highness, I have no reason to do this. Lu Qi is my son-in-law, why would I harm him?"

The King of Jin was unmoved: "The son-in-law you chose is the Guardian Kirin, isn't it? On the day of the wedding, your daughter wanted to break off the engagement and elope with Lu Yuan. Do you think I don't know about it?"

Gongsun Yanming said solemnly: "Your Highness, I have an irreconcilable feud with Lu Yuan, and I have a deep blood feud with his wife Meng Qianqian. He will not let me go, and I will not let them go either."

The more the King of Jin listened, the more outrageous it became: "Meng Qianqian is just a merchant girl, and you actually said that you have a blood feud with her? Imperial Master, am I so easily fooled?"

Gongsun Yanming knew that it would be useless to continue to argue.

He turned to look at Hu Lie, who had been watching from the sidelines, and said, "General Hu, do you really think I betrayed His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin?"

He didn’t say “also think”.

Prince Jin had never doubted his loyalty. The only person who could make Prince Jin feel resentful towards him was his uncle.

Hu Lie didn't say anything, but just looked at him without any hesitation.

Gongsun Yanming asked calmly, "I heard that General Hu broke into the cold palace tonight. What did he do?"

Hu Lie narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "I captured the princess's lover and learned Qi'er's whereabouts from him. I rushed to the cold palace to rescue her, but I was a step too late."

He was not explaining it to Gongsun Yanming, but to the King of Jin.

Gongsun Yanming then asked, "Where is that person now?"

Hu Lie secretly clenched his strong fists: "Escape."

He had sent so many secret guards to keep an eye on him, yet he let a pretty boy escape from his grasp.

What a shame!

Once people have emotions, they also have a breakthrough.

Gongsun Yanming said seriously: "General Hu, have you not understood yet? Ever since the princess returned to the imperial city, she has been playing with your highness, the general and Qianji Pavilion in her hands. We are completely in a passive position. If we start an internal conflict at this time, we will only fall into her trap, fall apart, and be deserted by everyone!"

Hu Lie suffered a setback tonight and needed to vent his anger, so he took it out on Gongsun Yanming.

However, when Gongsun Yanming asked about the matter of the concubine, he successfully directed the hatred back to the eldest princess.

Finally they were united in their hatred of the enemy.

Hu Lie is not stupid, how could he not see Gongsun Yanming's thoughts?

But he has calmed down.

And from his observation just now, Gongsun Yanming did not lie.

At least for now, he had no reason to have second thoughts about King Jin.

King Rui is dead, and although King Qi is still alive, he is probably no longer eligible to compete.

Then only Prince Fu and Lu Zhaoyan are left.

If Prince Fu dares to go along with him, Concubine Jiang Hui will kill her own son.

Lu Zhaoyan is even more of a mortal enemy.

After weighing the pros and cons, Hu Lie decided to dispel his suspicion of Gongsun Yanming.

"I'm afraid the matter with Gongsun Yu was also deliberately done by the eldest princess."

As he spoke, he frowned and sighed, "The Imperial Master is right. We should not fall into her trap."

The King of Jin said to Gongsun Yanming: "Since your uncle is speaking for you, I will trust you once again."

"Thank you, King Jin, for your grace."

Gongsun Yanming bowed and saluted.

King Jin asked, "Since you are here, would you like to go and see the fireflies?"

Gongsun Yanming evaded the question, saying, "Liu Ying is at home, being taken care of by His Highness and the Princess, so I don't need to worry about her as a father."

After a few more pleasantries, he took his leave.

After returning to Qianji Pavilion, he went to find Elder You.

An hour later, he sent a box of blood-replenishing pills to Gongsun Liuying.

During the days when Lu Qi was away from home, Gongsun Liuying lived a very comfortable life.

How nice it would be if Lu Qi never came back.

The maid took the pills and went in: "Miss, the Pavilion Master sent the pills."

Gongsun Liuying's expression brightened: "Dad still cares about me."

No matter how many unhappy things I had with my father before I got married, now all that is left is longing and dependence on him.

"Bring me a glass of water."

She ordered.

"Yes, Miss."

The maid poured a cup of warm water for Gongsun Liuying and was about to hand it to her when suddenly her eyes went dark and she collapsed to the ground.

Gongsun Liuying was startled and raised her head vigilantly.

Meng Qianqian walked into her room slowly, closed the door and bolted it.

Her face darkened: "It's you? You are so brave, you dare to break into the Prince Jin's Mansion in broad daylight! Come--"

Meng Qianqian interrupted her and pointed at the brown pill between her slender jade fingers: "If I were you, I would throw away that pill."

Gongsun Liuying frowned.

Meng Qianqian said calmly, "The infertility drug is very harmful to the body."

Gongsun Liuying said coldly: "What kind of infertility medicine? This is clearly the blood-replenishing pill my father sent me!"

Meng Qianqian sighed: "It's the infertility drug."

Gongsun Liuying said coldly: "I am a doctor! How can I not be able to tell the difference between blood-replenishing pills and fertility-inducing medicine?"

Meng Qianqian shook her head, reached back and grabbed the brocade box with her internal force.

Immediately, she took out one with her silver-gloved hands and crushed it finely on the table in front of Gongsun Liuying.

Hidden in a pile of dark brown medicine powder was a small black pill.

Meng Qianqian said with a click of the tongue: "Don't be fooled by the fact that it's only the size of a grain of rice. It's extremely poisonous. One is not enough. Your father gave you a whole box. How afraid is he that you will become a mother?"

Upon seeing this, Gongsun Liuying wrapped her hands with a handkerchief and crushed the blood-replenishing pill in her hand.

The moment she saw the black sterilizing drug, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Impossible...someone must have made a mistake..."

She crushed the remaining pills one by one.

When the last sterilizing pill appeared in the pile of medicine powder, she fell on the stool in a daze.

"Why...why did it happen...why did my father want to hurt me?"

Her eyes were red as she glared at Meng Qianqian. "It's you! It's you, right? You can sneak into the palace without anyone noticing, and you can also replace the medicine my father gave me without anyone noticing!"

Meng Qianqian sneered, "I'm not that boring. I might as well tell you the truth. Because of your escape from marriage, King Jin has become suspicious of your father. Now Lu Qi has been locked in a secret passage by your father's device. If you get pregnant again at this time, King Jin will definitely think that your father wants to support the fetus in your belly to become the emperor and kill them both!"

"In order to protect himself, your father had no choice but to sacrifice you, his daughter."
