The real big guys are those with connections in the eyes of the system!

No one spread the news that there was a cure for the fire poison.

As for why Yiqing was able to save the Regent in the middle of the night, everyone tacitly did not ask.

This person is now the benefactor of the palace.

She will take the initiative to say what her benefactor wants to say.

If she doesn't want to talk, there's no need to ask.

After all, who in this world doesn't have some secrets?

As long as we are sure that she is not a hostile force and has no conflict of interest, there is no need to dig deeper.

After the Regent rested for a day, he remembered that the matter of Nanyuan Marquis' Mansion had not been resolved.

He was still angry when he thought about it, but after surviving this near-death experience, he calmed down.

"He has many guards around him. If I just hold the sword, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter the palace gate."

The "he" mentioned by the Regent is naturally the current emperor.

"It's good that Your Majesty has calmed down." Mu Qing sighed, "Your Majesty deliberately framed me, and it's unfortunate that Nanyuan Marquis's Mansion suffered this unprovoked disaster, but no matter what, it's someone else's business. Your Majesty has had a hard time these years, and it's a good thing that you can think clearly and not get involved in this mess."

"I didn't say I would ignore the matter." The Regent corrected calmly.

Mu Qing was stunned, "But didn't you say?"

"What I mean is that it is foolish to fight head-on before being fully prepared. I just don't want to be a fool." He stood with his hands behind his back, and the aura around him became more and more oppressive. "What's more--"

“There is never just one way to solve a problem.”

After saying this, her phoenix eyes raised, and when people looked into her eyes, they couldn't help but think that the seemingly calm sea often hides countless terrible waves.

A feeling of oppression came over him, and a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on Mu Qing's back.

When the prince woke up this time, his aura seemed to have become stronger.

In the past, he always spoke and acted in a way that revealed a bit of youthfulness, but now he is a bit more reserved, making people feel a little unpredictable.

Mu Qing felt a little uncomfortable.

But I somehow feel that this might be a good thing.

"So what does the prince plan to do?" he asked.

The Regent did not answer directly, but just looked into the distance with a slightly mocking look on his face, "Hasn't His Majesty been hoping that I would become infamous, and even more so that I could be a knife in his hand? Well, then this time I will fulfill his wish and be a knife in his hand."

……

As soon as the charge of murdering the prince was brought down, without even waiting for the Dali Temple to arrest him, the Prince Regent was already furious and brought his personal soldiers to the Nanyuan Marquis's mansion and seized all the people and money.

The reason was: he was dissatisfied with the Nanyuan Marquisate's contempt for the imperial authority, so he came specifically to support his nephew and vent his anger.

Everyone in Kyoto knew that the Regent had always acted erratically and unreasonably, so this incident didn't seem to make anyone feel that there was anything wrong.

At most, they felt that the emperor had not yet decided on a punishment for someone, but he had already confiscated someone's property, which was really too much.

There were more people cursing at him behind his back.

But the Regent didn't care. As long as he wasn't scolded in front of him, he could pretend not to know.

The emperor was originally worried that his order to confiscate the property would cause dissatisfaction among some old ministers, so he had not issued a specific order. Now the regent's fuss was exactly what he wanted, and it happened to solve his urgent problem.

Seeing that someone was helping him to do the evil, the emperor began to pretend to be a good person.

He specially summoned the Regent into the palace and said that although the people in Nanyuan Marquis' Mansion were guilty, they would not be caught and tortured to death in the "Ministry of Punishment" he set up. He advised him not to be too radical and to give them a way out.

——The way out he mentioned was exile.
