In the dark cell, the lights were flickering, illuminating her face in a dark and unclear way.

On the other side of her, Li Lanyi was completely illuminated by the candle.His fair skin was thus tinged with a warm tinge.As expected, there was no surprise on his face.

Dali Temple Chancellor who once kidnapped Lin Heng and wanted to get close to Yuan Zhenzhu, Liang Shangshu and Lin Yan who later participated in the Yuan family's extermination, and now Zhao Duofu.

There may be other people she doesn't know who have already been dealt with by Li Lanyi.

She should have guessed it earlier, the downfall of senior officials, Tao Yushan's attitude... Maybe it's because she didn't want to believe in her heart that the big brother who used to be as gentle as jade would turn into a treacherous minister who is now flattering.

In order to take revenge, he became a eunuch and used his own means to punish the murderers who persecuted the Yuan family one by one, but he also became a poisonous needle in the ruling and opposition parties.

"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Cheng Muqing's eyes flickered, "Li Lanyi, I'm surprised and admired that you can get to where you are today."

She knew that he would definitely not admit his true identity.

If he admits that he is Yuan An, then the Yuan family has such a treacherous official, even if there is a grievance, it will not be able to clear up the grievance.

"Thank you, Ma'am, for your compliment." Li Lan gave a salute.

"Yuan Zhenzhu is still in Cheng's residence. Tomorrow... let her go beat the drums and complain." Cheng Muqing stood up and looked at Li Lanyi in front of him.

Maybe years of forbearance, he has completely learned how to disguise himself.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is benevolent, the truth about the Yuan family will definitely come to light." Li Lan bowed his waist, lowered his head, and his voice was as steady as ever.

"Now the court seems to be stable, but in fact it is an empty shell. Don't touch other people anymore..." Cheng Muqing's voice was a little ruthless, "Also, don't seek skins from tigers anymore."

"Your Majesty guessed, why haven't you brought this servant to justice?" Li Lan smiled suddenly, his eyes were a little empty, and his smile was a little sad.

With his own ability, it is difficult for him to overthrow Lin Yan, so he joins forces with Qi Guo's gang.At the moment of joining forces, he had already thought of everything.So what if he was discovered?As long as he can take revenge, his life is nothing.

"Because you're still useful." Cheng Muqing completely stood on Da Jin's point of view, and said, "You are here, and you can still suppress those disobedient people."

"Since that's the case, the servants will definitely suppress it for your mother." Li Lan smiled.

"Did you contribute to Lin Heng's ascension to the throne?" Cheng Muqing asked directly.

"Your Majesty should know it well." Li Lanyi said indifferently, "Your Majesty, you are the most suitable to be called emperor."

"Why?" Lin Heng was puzzled.

"Because you deserve it." Li Lan smiled, "Your Majesty, the Great Jin Dynasty needs an emperor who accepts advice and concentrates on rectification."

And among all the princes, only Lin Heng could do this.Because, there is a stubbornness in him, and an indifference that doesn't care about the eyes of the world.

In fact, there is one more thing, Li Lan looked at Cheng Muqing.

She is also his confidence. Although he doesn't get along much, Li Lanyi clearly understands what kind of person she is.

She is warm and cheerful, bold and free and easy.

Many things have shaped her into a rational spectator.She understands the twists and turns, and the grievances and hatreds.

But she will also look at things from the perspective of a bystander. She knows that Dajin is not a good time to eradicate rape and evil.

The remnants of Qiguo are waiting for an opportunity in the dark, and there must be no more problems within the Jin Dynasty.

So she confessed to him and asked for his help.

"General Huang Lian is a good official." Li Lan seemed to remember something, and said, "He has the ability to take Zhao Duofu's place."

Huang Lian was a young general in Lin Heng's siege last time.

"Cao Da too?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"Him?" Li Lan shook his head, "Slaves and civil servants don't deal with each other. Madam, don't think that the people who stand up and threaten to execute Zhao Duofu today are all slaves..."

His eyes flickered slightly, but Cheng Muqing was dumbfounded.

"Is there anything else, Madam?" Li Lan asked, "If there is nothing else, the maidservant will go to Cheng's residence."

"Go." Cheng Muqing replied.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, together?" Li Lan turned sideways, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "General Zhao has already pleaded guilty, and the two of you will try again, but nothing can be found."

"Li Lanyi, do you really want to put Zhao Duofu to death?" Cheng Muqing asked.

"Your Majesty, I'm not a slave." Li Lan smiled, "As a veteran Zhao Duofu, if the official returns to his original post, are you sure His Majesty can suppress it?"

People are selfish. Hearing these words, Cheng Muqing admitted that she was indeed moved.

"Keep him alive," Cheng Muqing said.

Li Lanyi just smiled and didn't answer.

After leaving the cell, Li Lanyi took the lead in resigning.

The figure he left was as stable as usual, but Cheng Muqing felt that at this moment, he was returning home like an arrow.

"Qingqing."

Lin Heng's voice brought her back to her thoughts.

"Huh?" Cheng Muqing looked up at him.

"So, Li Lanyi did all of this? Lin Yan and the late emperor passed away one after another, and my accession to the throne...was within his expectation?"

"probably……"

"I feel like we are like pawns." Lin Heng frowned slightly, "This feeling of being manipulated is really bad."

"We will not be pawns." Cheng Muqing smiled, "We have thoughts and brains, so we cannot be other people's pawns."

Lin Heng looked back at her, his thin lips parted slightly, "Qingqing..."

"Let's go and see Wang Shu."

She didn't want to continue talking about this matter, Lin Heng understood.

Why don't you want to say it?Probably maybe evading.He clearly knew that Zhao Duofu was innocent, but he was helpless.Saved Zhao Duofu, offended Li Lanyi, lost General Huang, Zhao Duofu was useless, and even affected Lin Heng's current status... the gain outweighs the loss.

Another point... Lin Heng is not a stupid person.

He could tell that Li Lanyi was Yuan An, and the Yuan family was wronged back then, and Lin Yan was behind it all.Therefore, Lin Yan was in danger in the valley, the beggar brought the imperial decree to Tao Yushan, Quan Li was able to live, and brought back those evidences... All of this was also within Li Lanyi's design.

He killed the original prince, although they can deal with him now, but then?The current Dajin can't stand the toss at all.

Lin Heng thought, Cheng Muqing might be harboring guilt in his heart now.

"Qingqing." Lin Heng took her hand, "I know, you are not as happy as before. So, when the world is stable, when Wang Shu grows up, let's leave..."

"I used to be stupid, I didn't know anything, so of course I was happy." Cheng Muqing tilted his head, "The more I know, the more I think, the more painful I feel."

"Let me think about it." Lin Heng said softly, "I will handle everything."

The two walked slowly on the uneven cobblestone road.
