After crossing over, I was favored by the villain

Following Jin Yujue into the palace, I found that the decoration inside the palace was extremely simple. It was not as luxurious as that in Nanyuan Kingdom, nor as elaborately carved as that in Jiyun Kingdom. It was just slightly better than the grand inn outside. Apart from the fact that the palace was larger in area, there was no other overly decorated appearance.

Jin Yan sighed, "The decoration inside the palace is so simple, no wonder the people live in great prosperity."

Feng Hanyun nodded in agreement. Jin Yujue walked in front, followed by the guards behind him. The two of them also followed. General Xu held Jin Xi's little hand and followed. Jin Xi looked back at the two of them from time to time. No one dared to speak until Jin Yujue spoke.

Jin Yujue suddenly stopped and said to the guards behind him, "Please ask the Prime Minister to come to the cabinet to discuss matters."

"Yes!"

She was about to start, but stopped and looked at Feng Hanyun and Jin Yan, "You two, please come with me."

After saying this, Jin Yujue walked towards the cabinet without allowing any room to be refused. All the guards dispersed, leaving only a few guards who were protecting Jin Yujue closely. The maid who had been guarding Jin Yujue hurried over to welcome his return.

Feng Hanyun and Jin Yan looked at each other and followed him.

Arriving at the cabinet, Jin Yujue tossed his clothes and sat on the main seat, "Come here, please take a seat!"

Jin Yujue, who was sitting on the main seat, was very dignified. After seeing the two of them sitting down, he spoke, "You two have been tired from the journey. I shouldn't have asked you two to come here. It's really that the Daqing incident is imminent, and I need your help."

Feng Hanyun bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are very polite."

Jin Yan also bowed and said, "Your Majesty is too polite. It is an honor for me to work for you."

Jin Yujue chuckled and said, "Then I won't beat around the bush. A few days ago, I received a secret report that assassins from the Dark Emperor Pavilion had infiltrated the capital. Another secret report came from the north, saying that someone from my clan would assassinate me in Daqing. What do you two think about this?"

[The implication is that the person who would assassinate Jin Yujue would be a killer from the Dark Emperor Pavilion? ]

Jin Yan shook his head. "Your Majesty, there is something fishy about this matter. Without the mission from the person behind the scenes, the Dark Emperor Pavilion would not have sent out assassins. Your Majesty should focus on the person behind the scenes, not the Dark Emperor Pavilion."

Feng Hanyun subconsciously looked at Jin Yan. She actually ruled out the suspicion of the Dark Emperor Pavilion.

Jin Yujue also thought carefully about Jin Yan's words, "Yes, I know that the Dark Emperor Pavilion has always existed. As long as someone issues an assassination mission, someone will come to carry it out. According to what you said, why did the person behind this want to assassinate me?"

Jin Yan stood up and bowed solemnly, "Your Majesty, under your governance, Fengtian Kingdom has long been peaceful and prosperous, and the people are self-sufficient. You also set up the imperial examination system to recruit talented people, and there is no such thing as the concentration of royal power. Therefore, the first person to be ruled out is someone from Fengtian Kingdom."

Jin Yujue nodded, "Go on."

Jin Yan raised his head and guided him, "Only those who have an advantage will be brave, and only those who benefit will take risks. Your Majesty, think carefully about who will benefit the most if something happens to you in Daqing."

Jin Yujue thought carefully about Jin Yan's words, and the cabinet became quiet for a moment.

When she raised her head again, she looked at Jin Yan, "Do you have anyone you suspect?"

Jin Yan nodded, "Yes, I think the person behind this must be someone with certain power and great ambition. If the assassination succeeds, the young Jin Xi will be the only descendant of the emperor. By then, the princess will marry out, and the prince will follow her. Even if Fengtian Kingdom is powerful, it will be coveted by others. The person behind this cannot shake the emperor, but it is easy to shake Jin Xi."

"In addition, the person behind the scenes must be colluding with the people around the emperor. If there is no cooperation between the inside and outside, he will not be able to get close to the emperor. Then, it will be a natural thing for him to support Jin Xi to take over the throne. It will be much easier to seize Feng Tian Kingdom. At that time, the person behind the scenes only needs to control the villain around the emperor, and he can firmly control Feng Tian Kingdom without wasting any soldiers."

"You are such a dirty trick on me!" As soon as Jin Yan finished speaking, a young man stepped closer. When he passed by Jin Yan, he was about to say something, but he was shocked by her face.

"Hiss—you..."

"Prime Minister Meng, this is the extraordinary woman that Jin Xi and Aning mentioned, Jin Yan." Jin Yujue introduced.

Du Beizhe shook his clothes and bowed, "Your Majesty, may Your Majesty be blessed with good health."

"No gift."

After Du Beizhe stood up, he looked at Jin Yan. The more he looked at her, the more she looked like Jin Yujue who was sitting on the main seat. He calmed down and said, "Miss Yan, I'm sorry for the offense. May I ask you, you said there is a spy in Fengtian Kingdom. Do you have any evidence for this?"

Jin Yan looked at Du Beizhe beside him, the youngest prime minister in the history of Fengtian Kingdom. He was as tall and straight as a pine tree, and dressed in a purple robe, which made him look even more noble and extraordinary. His sword-like eyebrows slanted into his temples, his eyes were like stars, deep and bright, his face was as delicate as a sculpture, and under his high nose bridge, his thin lips were slightly pursed with unquestionable majesty. He was an extremely handsome man.

She smiled faintly and looked directly at Du Beizhe, "Replying to Prime Minister, no."

Du Beizhe seemed to be smiling, but in fact his eyes were sharp, and he began to doubt Jin Yan's identity, "Then what are you qualified to question the people around His Majesty?"

Jin Yan was not intimidated by this look. She said calmly, "On the day of the celebration, the emperor must stand on the city wall, with heavy soldiers guarding behind him and hundreds of ministers accompanying him, to announce the great feat of the celebration. If the people around him had not cooperated with the assassins, how could the emperor avoid the fatal attack with his skills?"

Du Beizhe frowned, "According to what you said, the assassination must have happened. If this is nonsense, how will you deal with it?"

Jin Yan chuckled and said, "Prime Minister Meng, it's better to believe it."

Du Beizhe sighed softly, turned to look at Jin Yujue, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you cannot abandon a century-old rule because of a trivial matter. Over the years, whether it is the celebration of the princess or the county lady, it has been presided over by your Majesty and accompanied by hundreds of ministers. How can you ignore the ancestral teachings just because of someone else's one-sided words? It is unreasonable."

"Besides, Miss Yan has no evidence for this matter, and you can't use this matter to suspect the loyal people around you."

Jin Yan also turned to Jin Yujue and saluted, "Your Majesty, Jin Yan's intention is not contrary to the ancestral precepts and rules of Fengtian Kingdom, but we can try another way."

Just as Du Beizhe was about to speak, Jin Yujue said, "Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty!" Du Beizhe reminded, but was interrupted by Jin Yujue who raised his hand.

Jin Yan glanced at Du Beizhe and said with a salute, "Why not..."

When Jin Yan expressed her thoughts, Jin Yujue and Du Beizhe both fell silent.

Feng Hanyun also stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. We, the master and disciple, can handle this matter."

Seeing Feng Hanyun's support, Jin Yan smiled, sweeping away the unpleasant mood of the previous conversation, and assured, "The Daqing event will start in one day. Your Majesty does not need to give a reply too early. You can discuss it with the Prime Minister. If you agree, you can let us know, and we will do our best."

She looked at Du Beizhe beside her, with a clear warning, "If you disagree, then please ask Prime Minister Meng to protect the emperor."

Du Beizhe was stunned. It was indeed as Jin Yan said. If they could not step forward, he would naturally have to arrange the safety of the king. He was unable to refute it for a moment.
