Chapter 319 – No Way Back
Chapter 319 The road of no return
In the autumn afternoon, the sun shines softly through the carved windows of Yuyue bedroom.
Yuyue took Zisu to prepare some things about the priest Ruan Youqing’s prayer ceremony, while Ruan Youqing was sitting alone on a soft couch to sort out her emotions.
Regarding Kugli, Yuyue made up a story and told her. Although she didn’t say it clearly, Ruan Youqing knew who she was talking about as soon as she heard it.
It’s just that… Kugli actually had that kind of affection for Siman…
It really shocked her.
Not to mention that same-sex couples are rare in this world. Siman is Kugli’s master, and master and apprentice are like father and son, but Kugli…is using affection.
Because he also knows that his feelings are not recognized by the world, so he has been hiding this feeling in his heart.
But… paper can’t hold fire, Yuyue was the first to know.
Yue Yue is also very human. After she found out, her initial thought was to encourage Kugli to pursue boldly.
However, when Kugli, a young man in love, plucked up the courage to tell his master the truth, his master…brought back a foreign man.
What shocked Kugli was that his master…had also fallen in love with a man.
It’s just… It’s just that he was one step too late after all.
From then on, the seeds of resentment began to be planted in his heart.
He resented his master reluctantly, and he could only resent that man.
He didn’t express his thoughts, but after being drunk, he lost his composure in front of the master and spoke his heart out. He even… even blatantly said that he had researched Wangqing Pill, threatening his master to give it to his lover.
Then…
His master made a full moon…to prevent him from forgetting his feelings.
Ruan Youqing then remembered that Kugli and Li Yi had a cooperative relationship before, so…he helped Li Yi…was he still taking revenge…
After all… After all, she is a descendant of King Nanjing…
Presumably in the previous life, she and Gu Changan could not get together because of the cooperation between Li Yi and Kugli.
In this life… Although she had taken precautions in this life, Li Yi failed. But the moody Kugli has done something to her himself.
After a while, Ruan Youqing, who was scared, took a deep breath so as not to let himself go to kill Kugli.
Emotions are the easiest thing to lose one’s mind.
However, this is no reason to dehumanize.
After Wizard Sman passed away, Kugli became more moody and unpredictable. Everything you do is random, it all depends on your own mood.
Although it was sad, Ruan Youqing couldn’t show any pity.
Ruan Youqing didn’t think about Kugli’s matter anymore, leaned back, Ruan Youqing closed his eyes, and Gu Changan’s figure was in his heart and mind.
Now…she just wants to give him a good hug.
After she completely drags Li Yi to hell, she will be with Gu Changan properly.
Fortunately, there was no need to wait too long. The Goddess’s prayer ceremony was on the second day after Yuyue was made the lord of the country. After the ceremony, she returned to Ningguo immediately.
…
At this time, the capital city looks as peaceful as it used to be.
Only those who frequently enter and leave the palace can feel that there may be a major change in the capital…even in Ningguo.
These days, Mr. Shoufu seems to be getting more and more attention from the emperor.
Those who were jealous of him became more and more respectful towards him.
And the one who had a trick in his heart couldn’t find a place to attack Mr. Shoufu.
For example…the Minister of the Ministry of Officials…Liu Zhui.
At this time, he was in a brothel somewhere in the middle of Beijing, and when he was rising, someone suddenly broke in.
Liu Zhuigang’s expression sank and he was ready to get angry, but when he saw someone coming, he immediately changed his expression, half-bowed and respectful: “What wind brought you here, Your Highness?”
It was Prince Li Yi who broke in.
After Liu Zhui finished speaking, he waited for the other party’s reply, but after waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, the other party still didn’t say a word.
After a few words in his heart, Liu Zhui boldly raised his head and looked at the prince who hadn’t been out much recently.
As soon as he raised his head, he took a few steps back in horror.
He didn’t look carefully just now, the prince’s face…why…so pale.
And those dark eyes… as if… want to eat him…
Before Liu Zhui regained his composure, the face that terrified him suddenly approached, and even smiled very perceptively: “What? The appearance of the prince…scares you?”
Liu Zhui pinched his leg secretly, and he who kept awake under the pain immediately gave a flattering smile: “How could that be! I haven’t seen you for a while, just because of your unique aura, Your Highness. I was taken aback.”
Seeing the other party’s eagerness to flatter, Li Yi didn’t feel disgusted, but felt extremely happy in his heart.
His glaring red lips curled up slightly, and Li Yi continued to speak unhurriedly: “Master Liu, the prince came to you today to discuss something with you. This prince is full of civil and military affairs, and the prince thinks it is only Master Liu.” You are the most reassuring thing to do.”
After calming down, Liu Zhui said with a smile, “Your Highness’ words really flattered me, I don’t know…what did Your Highness say?”
Li Yi beckoned to the attendant behind him, and the man quickly came over with a stack of papers with unknown contents.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yi said: “Give these things to Mr. Liu to have a look.”
Liu Zhui listened, and quickly reached out to take it.
After looking at ten lines at a glance, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
These things are actually the ancestral backgrounds of officials in various border towns.
What is even more shocking is that among these officials, the ancestral home of officials from two places… is the same as the ancestral home of the fourth prince Li Han…
These two places… one is Jingbian City and the other is Changzhou City.
You know…the fourth prince, Li Han, went to Changzhou City early to pay homage to Ruan Ye, the great general who protects the country, as his teacher.
The city of Changzhou is so high that the emperor is far away…
Is it impossible…
The more he thought about it, the more frightened Liu Zhui raised his head and looked at the prince cautiously. Seeing his half-smile expression, Liu Zhui was shocked in his heart immediately, and realized something.
When appointing and dismissing these officials, one thing to pay attention to is to find out the ancestral home. Although the emperor is not too taboo, but as the Minister of the Ministry of officials, he must be careful to avoid such things from happening.
In order to avoid… a foreign relative colluding with other countries when working in a border town…
This incident…was clearly an oversight on his part…
But Liu Zhui is not stupid, seeing the prince’s posture, he knows that the other party is not here to ask questions.
But he had to pretend that he didn’t understand…
Thinking of this, Liu Zhui immediately knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, forgive me! This incident was really caused by my negligence… Please punish me, Your Highness!”
Li Yi looked at Liu Zhui sympathetically, but then suddenly smiled, and stretched out his hand to help him up:
“Your Majesty Liu, don’t panic. This Prince has always been aware of Master Liu’s heart for Ningguo. It’s just… there is an old saying that if you know your mistakes, you can make a big difference. Now that the Prince has found out for you, Lord Liu might as well take the initiative to find your father and admit your mistakes. Don’t worry, with this prince here, Mr. Liu will be safe and sound.”
