    ☆, Jin Yi Lu 23

    The Queen Mother was a very young beauty, and because she was in mourning period, she was still wearing a solemn azurite dress, which still could not hide her beautiful appearance.She was sitting in a huanghuali wood recliner. Seeing that Yao Ji wanted to salute, she hurriedly asked the palace maid to help her up, and said with a smile: “Meng Qing doesn’t need to be polite. Nowadays, things in the court are complicated, and we have to rely on a pillar of the country like Meng Qing.” – Wu Yi spoke softly, and was as gentle as water.

    Yao Ji didn’t know what kind of medicine she was selling in the gourd, and she was cautious in every word and action. She probably noticed it, and waved her hand to signal everyone in the hall to leave: “I asked you to come, just because I wanted to see what the girl he loves so much looks like.”

    This “he”, except Su Jing, does not think about he.Yao Ji smiled. She was still surprised at first, but now she calmed down. She raised the corners of her lips and looked back at the woman above her who was regarded as the most powerful woman in the world: “The Queen Mother has seen it, are you still satisfied?”

    Before she finished speaking, a bright light suddenly flashed in the Queen Mother’s eyes, but the cold light quickly disappeared, and she chuckled: “Meng Qing is really funny, that’s all,” she suddenly sighed, “I think I understand why he has never let go of you after so many years.”

    Probably because this person is similar to him, the same pride, the same loneliness, the same ability to be fearless and risk everything for each other.

    Not many people in this world know that the acquaintance between she and Su Jing did not begin when Su Hu was selecting beauties for Emperor Tianzheng in the south of the Yangtze River.She was ten years old at that time, and her father was just an inconspicuous official in the court, but he offended Wang Rongan and caused the family to be destroyed.The one responsible for the action was the Jin Yiwei, who was still controlled by Xue Hao at the time. The cavalry rushed into her home and captured her father amidst her mother’s cries. Later, her father died and her mother died. She was alone and was about to fall into the land of fireworks when she was rescued by Su Jing.

    She remembers that person. Among the murderers who broke into the house, there was that person.It’s just that he didn’t take action and stood aside coldly, like frozen ice.

    “Want to take revenge?” The man said to her, “If you want, come with me.” “Why me?” Many years later, she was about to be sent to the palace with her name changed by Su Jing, and she finally couldn’t help but ask the question that had been bothering her for many years.

    The man was sitting by the window, his expression as indifferent as ever: “Because you are ambitious.”

    Ambition, ambition… She didn’t understand it at that time. It wasn’t until she walked step by step through countless corpses to get to today that she understood what Su Jing meant.Just wanting revenge is not enough, only desire can make people go further.

    “You probably don’t know, half of the people in Jinyiwei are just like me.” Either their families were destroyed by the powerful prime minister, or they were forced to almost lose their lives by the powerful officials.The common goal makes them loyal to Su and will never rebel.And every one of the courtiers who died in Su Jing’s hands was actually guilty.

    “It’s interesting. The cavalry who is known as a lackey is actually a victim of Chao Gang’s corruption. A sanctimonious high-ranking official, but his hands are stained with the people’s fat. The culprit of all this is Fang Yiguan, not Wang Rongan, neither.”

    She stared at Yao Ji, and under that smiling gaze, the girl gently uttered three words: “It’s the emperor.” Regicide, she finally understood why there was a big drama after overthrowing Fang Yiguan.The death of Emperor Tianzheng was not an accident, but a carefully planned situation.

    “Do you think I’m scary?” The Queen Mother looked at her.

    “No,” her eyes were clear, “You did the right thing, and I think the whole world will be grateful to you.”

    “Hahahaha! Hahahaha!” The woman above laughed wildly. She smiled, but there was a sad sound in her laughter. After a long while, she stopped, “You are very interesting, Meng Yao, I think… I like you a little bit.”

    Yao Ji was a little dumbfounded: “Thank you, Queen Mother, for your love, so… can I go back?” “No.” The Queen Mother rejected her with a smile, and then locked her up in Feng’an Palace. From the rising sun to the setting sun, when dawn was about to dawn, the door opened with a creak, letting in the first light of the morning.

    He Xi stood outside the door, lowering his eyes apologetically: “Meng Zhongcheng, you can leave the palace.”

    She walked out along the high palace wall. On top of the wall, the golden glazed tiles reflected the early sun, so dazzling and beautiful.But her gaze never stopped at all. She was getting closer and closer to Fengtian Gate, and her steps were getting faster and faster, one step, two steps, three steps… At the 332nd step, she stopped. Under the door, an indifferent man stood there. Suddenly he saw her figure and raised the corners of his lips gently –

    “Just go home.”

    “Yeah.”

    She didn’t ask what kind of deal Su Jing had made with the Queen Mother, nor did she investigate what kind of feelings the woman in the palace had for Su Jing. Those are not important… The fingers of the small hand and the big hand are intertwined. The only important thing is you.

    In June of this year, following the “Imperial Garden Incident”, the Imperial Guard commanded Su Jing, the official minister, to resign from all official positions, once again falling short of the civil and military attention of the entire dynasty.

    In everyone’s speculation, since Su Jing staged such a shocking reversal, the power he holds can be imagined. I am afraid that after Wang Rongan’s death, there will be a new “overlord” in the court.Su Jing unexpectedly gave up her immense power and voluntarily returned to her hometown, which is really puzzling.

    Some people say that Su Jing’s reputation as a traitor has always been an illusion. If you count the courtiers who were arrested and imprisoned by him, the evidence of their crimes is conclusive. If you say that he is a traitor, he has not wronged anyone.

    Those who retorted were also confident. Who said Su Jing did not create an unjust case? Fan Suiyang is a ready example.

    No matter how much talk there is in the market, Su Jing’s resignation is a foregone conclusion. For the government, this is naturally a good thing. Even Li Geng stroked his beard and said: “Su Feiqing, huh… it’s not simple.”

    Since then, the “Tianzheng Party Struggle” that lasted for more than 20 years has finally come to an end. Under the strong hand of the Queen Mother, administrative reform, tax reform, etc. A series of measures that had been stagnant due to the political corruption of the Tianzheng Dynasty were implemented. The Dai Viet Dynasty, which was showing signs of decline, seemed to have a precursor to entering a prosperous age.

    In March of the following year, Jin Yiwei was also dismissed due to the reform of officialdom. On the day when the newspaper was issued, Yao Ji was writing her resignation at home. Su Jing pushed the door in and stood behind her and looked at her for a long time: “Decided?”

    “We agreed that we would visit famous mountains and rivers after we get married.” The girl turned around, “If I continue to be an official, I won’t be able to hang out with you.”

    “If my mother-in-law finds out, she will scold me for not learning from you.”

    Yao Ji rubbed her nose: “No way, my mother hates me being an official the most. She will definitely not blame you this time, but…”

    It’s been a day or two since my mother had noticed that Su Jing was unhappy. Before Su Jing resigned, she disliked him. He, the Jinyiweidu, had a bad reputation. After resigning, she disliked Su Jing, a grown man who was freeloading at home all day long. Even though Su Jing had a lot of real estate in the farm, enough to support a hundred Yao concubines, she still selectively ignored him.

    Yao Ji is also helpless. Big Demon King, I believe you can handle it with your resourcefulness, so I will die as a fellow Taoist.

    Su Jing didn’t know what she was thinking, so she smiled and scratched her nose: “Little villain.”

    Seeing Yao Ji finish writing a memorial and placing the seal heavily, she couldn’t help but sigh: “You said… will everything be fine in the future?”

    he understands what she means: “The Queen Mother has ambitions and the ability to match them.”

    Even if Yao Ji was not summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother, he had already planned to resign. Power and wealth were like floating clouds to him, but she could never let go of her.So that woman couldn’t tolerate him staying in the court, nor would she let such a person who knew all about her past still hold power.

    But even though power is delicious, how can it compare to the company and staying together of a loved one?

    In the end, he made the profit in this transaction.
