After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 46: The title of crying
The moonlight was shining through the branches, and the handles of the two rows of swords, spears, and halberds in the yard were polished by the touch.

The lights in the study were dim.

"Did Ji's niece-in-law really say that?"

General Jin's hair was already half white, and the way he walked back and forth revealed his anxiety.

Liu Yaru leaned on the stool with great effort. Sitting for a long time made her uncomfortable, so she leaned on the armrest to relieve some of the discomfort.

"Yes, Sister Lan said that the Jin family is now in a state of panic. The outcome depends on the mood of the higher-ups. It is better to remove the fire from under the cauldron than to passively accept it."

Jin Shaojie couldn't help but retort, "Father, I think what Madam Ji said makes sense."

"Now that His Majesty is obsessed with alchemy, and Prince Qing is trying to suppress the Crown Prince, if our family falls, the next one to take over will be Marquis Ji, and then the Censorate. Then Prince Qing will have the final say in the court."

How could General Jin not know the current situation in the court? Except for the Prime Minister, no one can see His Majesty outside the court.

If you take the risk...

General Jin looked at his second son's young face with a gleam in his eyes.

In Yuhui Garden, the lights in the main house were on.

Ji Yunzhang looked at the bold young lady in front of him with wide eyes, "Is this the idea you gave to the Jin family?!"

Rong Peilan shrank his neck, and then said, "Your Majesty is now obsessed with alchemy and believes in priests, but he is still an emperor at heart, an emperor who thinks the world is in his control. If this emperor knows that the world is not in his control, he will naturally..."

Before she could finish, Ji Yunzhang couldn't help but pinch her cheek and said through gritted teeth, "Then do you know that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger? Do you want Jin Shaojie to die?"

"Ouch!" Rong Peilan slapped his hand away and rolled her eyes at him. "By the time you guys come up with a foolproof plan, that Liu Qiwei will be released. He's in front of the emperor every day, and if there's any wind blowing, there won't be any place for you!"

"You also know that His Majesty is obsessed with elixirs and dreams of immortality every day. If we tell him now that his achievements are fading, his wish for immortality will not reach the ears of the heavens no matter what. How can His Majesty still want to kill the Second Master Jin?"

At last she added, "I'm afraid it will take some time to worship it..."

Ji Yunzhang's innocent little face only felt like her teeth were aching.

Rong Peilan continued, "Although I don't know who is going to deal with you, but according to their current encirclement and blockade, if you can't find a breakthrough, you will be slowly surrounded and killed."

"You have framed Liu Qiwei. If you fail to hit him with one strike, their counterattack will only be more intense. Two fists cannot defeat four hands."

Ji Yunzhang was surprised at her sharpness. He had never said anything in front of her.

It's not that I don't trust her, but I'm afraid that she will worry.

But now.

How could she worry? She would only come up with more exciting countermeasures!
Rong Peilan looked at him steadily and said, "My father once said, 'You can survive only if you are thrown into a desperate situation, and you can live only if you are trapped in a deadly situation.'"

Ji Yunzhang, "Tell me what else my father-in-law said..."

Rong Peilan glanced at him and said, "My father also said that people should know themselves."

Prince Ji, "..."

Ji Yunzhang thought about his father who always scolded him, and suddenly felt that his father would definitely look down on him even more in the future...

A strange thing happened at the court meeting a few days later.

A strange incident that has been discussed all over Yanjing is related to the Jin family a few days ago.

When the Heavenly Master appointed by His Majesty himself was trying to attract thunder from the sky, he set fire to a green-roofed carriage next to the city wall.

Just as the eunuch was about to put out the fire, a man with disheveled hair ran out of the carriage.

Just when the Taoist priest was pointing the peach wood sword at the man, the man just raised his hand and the Taoist priest fainted.

When this person was brought to the court, it was discovered that he was Jin Shaojie, the second son of the Jin family.

His Majesty was instantly furious.

The second young master Jin, however, had a nonchalant expression on his face, claiming that he was a wandering sorcerer who had just attained enlightenment. When he passed by Yanjing, he saw this young man, who was righteous and had the protection of his ancestors who had done great deeds, but whose three souls were dissipating.

He couldn't bear to see the young man's soul scattered, so he decided to help him strengthen his soul and protect his body.

Your Majesty was skeptical and asked him where his travels had gone.

The wandering sorcerer sighed and admired the beautiful mountains and rivers of Your Majesty and the simple customs of the people.

His Majesty was very happy, thinking that he had completed his merits and that the heavens would surely hear his wish for longevity. However, the wandering sorcerer shook his head, saying that His Majesty had no merits, and that the merit book was made of the flesh and blood of the soldiers, starting with Emperor Yuan, with great achievements, but starting from a few decades ago, the merits began to dissipate.

Famine, plague, floods, natural disasters.

Your Majesty did not help the people overcome their difficulties, but instead used the merit book to offset it.

Finally, the wandering sorcerer said that the book of merits was now too thin to be heard by the gods.

His Majesty was greatly alarmed, and kept the wandering sorcerer for several nights.

Jixing spoke vividly and with saliva flying everywhere.

"Sir, everyone is saying that this time it was really a spirit that possessed the body. Not only did Second Master Jin recover, but on the day the spirit left his body, Master Jin's vitality was greatly damaged, but his body was fine, and he was alive and kicking the next day."

Ji Xing continued, "I also heard that many people are going to the Jin family ancestral hall to burn incense and pray for blessings!"

Ji Yunzhang, "..."

Wei Chi, "Your Majesty has lifted the Crown Prince's house arrest and thoroughly investigated the corruption that led to the plague in Shu last year."

"Young Master Liu was demoted to a commoner, and the Liu family returned the land they had occupied in their hometown of Pingchang."

"Pingchang Earl failed to educate his son well, and he will return home to reflect on his mistakes for a month."

Ji Yunzhang nodded, "As long as Your Majesty thoroughly investigates corruption in Shu, Prince Qing's affairs will naturally come to light."

Wei Chi continued, "Also, General Jin was conferred the title of Duke of Weiguo, and Madam Jin was granted the title of First Rank Imperial Edict."

Ji Yunzhang, "!!"

He turned around and grabbed the young lady's hand, with an urgent look on his face, "Madam, please tell me how to cry so that you can stand out!"

Rong Peilan: "..."

Wei Chi, "..."

Jixing, "???"

Ji Xing was puzzled and tilted his head and said, "You are quite promising, my prince."

Prince Ji, "..."

-

"Trash! They're all trash!"

With a "bang", a former dynasty famille rose porcelain vase was smashed to pieces!

The flying porcelain bottle scratched the face of the man on the ground, but he dared not move.

This person is none other than the Heavenly Master that Your Majesty trusts the most.

"Tell me, why did you faint?"

The Taoist priest's hands were shaking with fear. He was originally just a craftsman who traveled around the world with magic tricks, but he was brought into the palace by a nobleman, and from then on he lived a life of luxury.

"I was drugged..."

"Drugged?" The man slowly turned his head.

"Yes Yes!"

The man turned around and said, "The medicine was not enough. Take it down and give more."

"No, no!" The Taoist priest looked up in horror, "Please forgive me, my lord!"

Two men in black suddenly appeared and quickly dragged the man away, and the room fell silent instantly.

The man sat down slowly, his whole body hidden in the darkness, and no one could see his expression clearly.

The jade ball in his hand made crisp sounds from time to time.

After a moment, a man in black bowed and came in, "Master, I have found out that it was the young lady of the Xinling Marquis's Mansion who came up with the countermeasures for the Jin family."

"Ji family?" The man narrowed his eyes.
