When Jing Shuyao left, he still smiled.

Even though she was far away, she could still faintly hear her cheerful laughter.

Rong Jing's face was as sinking as water, and he didn't say a word.

Ye Ling explained: "That's just the way she is. Don't worry about it, Your Highness."

"How could I care about her?"

Ye Ling nodded, watched him apply ointment on the bronze mirror, and said without changing his expression: "Your Highness is wise."

After Rong Jing applied ointment to his entire face, he asked worriedly: "Does this ointment work? How many days will it take to heal?"

Ye Ling touched her conscience and assured him: "Your Highness, this ointment will definitely work. I have personally experienced it. Within three days, all traces on Your Highness's face will be completely gone."

"That's good." Rong Jing said this, but he was still a little worried. Just in case, he took some more and applied it on his face.

When Ye Ling saw this, he also expressed his deep understanding.

I have never seen His Highness care so much about his face before. It turns out that men who have loved ones are all the same, and they all care about their appearance.

"By the way, Your Highness, our informant just came to report that Mr. Nan wants to impeach the seventh prince for abusing his power tomorrow morning."

Ye Ling got down to business, and the brothel incident also made Mr. Nan anxious. Soon after he returned home, he immediately used his connections to find out what Rong Qi had done wrong.

Unexpectedly, he caught Rong Qi's braid, and Rong Qi secretly placed his own personnel in several important positions in the Ministry of War. The list is now in Master Nan's hands.

And Rong Qi's move was exactly what Tiansheng Emperor could not tolerate.

"Okay, let our people help Master Nan."

Rong Jing paused and asked again: "Didn't Mr. Nan propose to break off the engagement?"

Ye Ling shook his head, "Not yet."

Rong Jing frowned, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

With the current power of the Nan family, I am afraid that the Holy Emperor will not let him go easily. Moreover, if the engagement is canceled, the check and balance between the princes will be broken.

Tsk…

This engagement is really an eyesore.

At this moment, both of them heard a noise outside the door. Ye Ling went over to open the door and took a small note handed over by the secret guard.

"Your Highness, it says here that the old Taoist priest who made alchemy that you asked them to watch has entered the imperial study room and is sitting on the dragon chair to review the memorial."

Today, after the assassination attempt in the brothel failed, Rong Jing led his people to follow Tiansheng Emperor until he discovered the existence of the old Taoist priest in the palace.

It turned out that Emperor Tiansheng had been taking pills.

The palace was heavily guarded, and Rong Jing asked the palace's spies to keep an eye on the old Taoist priest.

Unexpectedly, I have received such shocking news now.

Rong Jing's fingertips lightly touched the table, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Ye Ling said in surprise: "Why is he becoming more and more stupid, and he actually handed over power to a charlatan?"

The reason why Ye Ling said this was not unfounded. He took the lead in that assassination and even threatened Tiansheng Emperor with a knife.

At that time, there was only one question in his mind.

Is this person really the Heavenly Holy Emperor?

He is a majestic emperor, but has no royal demeanor at all. He is just a timid person.

Later, they followed him into the palace and found the existence of the old Taoist priest, which seemed to be the explanation.

Even so, Ye Ling was still a little shocked. How stupid an emperor must be to trust his power to an outsider instead of his own son.

"Did the old Taoist priest cast some spell on him?" Ye Ling guessed wildly.

I don't know why, when Rong Jing heard this, he thought of Nan Xiaolai inexplicably, the corner of his mouth curled up, and the coldness in his eyes dissipated in an instant.

Ye Ling: "..."

What did he just say? Why does His Highness have an expression of joy on his face?

Rong Jing caught a glimpse of his expression, immediately dismissed the figure in his mind, straightened his posture and started thinking about business.

Although Ye Ling's guess is possible, the chance is very small. If the Tiansheng Emperor is really affected by some soul-stirring spell, he becomes a puppet that can only be driven by the old Taoist priest.

It would not appear so real. The fear shown by the Tiansheng Emperor today is definitely a person's true emotion.

There is another most crucial point:

Tiansheng Emperor is very good at pretending, and he must appear wise in front of others.

If something really scares him, he will probably just pretend to be indifferent and not show the slightest bit of fear.

A sneer curled up at the corner of Rong Jing's lips.

He had watched this man since he was a kid, hiding his identity from his mother, his royal brother, his eldest sister, and even other members of the Le Kingdom by pretending step by step.

In the end, none of these people ended up with a good ending.

Rong Jing thought for a while and said: "I'm going to let people keep an eye on me. Whenever the two of them come into contact, no matter how big or small they are, report them to me one by one."

"yes."

Xiao Bai, who was following Rong Jing, didn't understand what the two said, but he remembered it and planned to go back and tell his host.

…

As expected, Mr. Nan impeached the seventh prince Rong Qi early in the morning, with all the witnesses and material evidence available.

As soon as he finished speaking, the palace became quiet.

All the court officials secretly looked at the person sitting on the dragon throne.

Emperor Tiansheng didn't seem to be surprised, he should have known the news a long time ago.

But he still pretended to be angry.

"This treacherous son! It's really outrageous. Someone comes and slaps me twenty times, and confines me to the house for a month, and I'm not allowed to go out."

"Slave, I obey." The young eunuch took the order and went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to announce the order.

This punishment is not very serious, and it is just a punishment for Rong Qi's unauthorized interference in the affairs of the Ministry of War.

But he didn't say anything about giving Mr. Nan an explanation or anything.

Needless to say, everyone knows what this explanation is.

Yesterday, the incident caused a stir in the city, and now everyone knows about it.

The child does not teach, the father too.

Rong Qi knew he was wrong and made a mistake. He clearly knew who his fiancée was, but he still got together with his fiancée's sister. Who could see this and not feel disgusted?

Moreover, I heard that after the seventh prince returned home, he angrily scolded Mr. Nan, which probably meant that he was the prince, so what right did Mr. Nan have to beat him.

He even defended himself, saying that the Nanda girl was weak and he was still young and prone to impulsiveness.

He also said that it would be a big deal for the two sisters to marry back together, and then accused Mr. Nan of making a fuss out of a molehill.

Rong Qi thought that no one would know what he said in the mansion, but as he did not know, someone had already sent people to find out the news, and then spread it in the capital as soon as possible.

But now looking at His Majesty's attitude towards this matter, he just wants to pretend to be deaf and dumb and let it pass.

The sympathetic eyes of all the courtiers fell on Mr. Nan.

Emperor Tiansheng did not notice the strangeness of the courtiers and continued: "My dear friends, what else can I report to you?"

The leader, Mr. Nan, suddenly knelt in the center of the hall.

The Holy Emperor of Heaven frowned, "What do you mean by my love for you? Don't talk about matters that have nothing to do with government affairs. People's livelihood is more important."

As soon as he said these words, other courtiers woke up one after another.

It turns out that His Majesty is not pretending to be deaf and dumb, but feels that these small loves are not as important as national affairs.

Sure enough, this is their kind and wise majesty!

Mr. Nan's eyes were calm, he took off the black gauze hat on his head, leaned down and knelt down deeply.

"Your Majesty, I have been working diligently for more than ten years since I entered the imperial court, and I have never neglected anything.
Chapter completed!
