“That’s simply nonsense.” Second young master Wang gritted his teeth in anger.
Master Wang pinched the space between his eyebrows and sighed tiredly, ” in the past, my father was in the heart of the Emperor, so he was fine. However, during the massacre in Chuzhou, my father offended the Emperor too much. This is the root of the problem.
“What should we do? what should we do?” Madam Wang was worried.
Wang simu quickly consoled her mother, and then frowned.
“The two of you should speak less. If you can’t think of a solution, then don’t pour out your grievances here. Other than adding to mother’s worries, what else can you do?”
She continued to comfort her mother and said softly, “”Father has been the first assistant for more than ten years and has seen all kinds of storms and waves. Didn’t I already discuss this with my uncles in the study?”
Grand Wang Prince looked at his sister and shook his head. Although there had been crises in the past, it had never been as dangerous as this time. Fighting with political enemies and fighting with His Majesty, were they the same thing?
As they were talking, the Butler came in a hurry to report. He glanced at the people in the hall and looked at Wang si mu.”Young lady, Lord Xu is outside and would like to see you.”
Second brother Wang sneered,”at a time like this, you still have the leisure to talk about love?.’
Madam Wang and Master Wang both frowned.
They knew that Xu Erlang was close to their daughter. Wang simu had a strong personality and was exceptionally intelligent. Other than Wang zhenwen, no one in the family could control her.
So, he turned a blind eye and let her do as she pleased.
But now that the Wang family was in danger, Xu Erlang still visited them frequently, which was inexplicably annoying.
Wang si mu gave her second brother a sidelong glance, stood up gracefully and said, “Lead him to the outer hall.”
She patted the back of her mother’s hand and left. She passed through the inner courtyard and walked through the winding corridor. Miss Wang met with Xu Erlang in the living room.
He sat on the chair and hid his face with his sleeve.
“What’s wrong with Erlang?” Wang simu stuck her head in for a while, but he dodged all of them.
“It’s fine …”
“I’m here to give you something,” Xu Erlang said.
As he said that, he pointed at the coffee table with his other hand. Wang simu then realized that there was a stack of letters on the coffee table.
With curiosity, Wang simu opened the letter and read it a few times. Her delicate body trembled, and her beautiful big eyes were filled with shock.
“Where, where did Erlang get these secret letters?” She opened her small mouth slightly and her beautiful face turned pale.
“I got it from my big brother.” Xu Erlang replied.
Where did Xu Qi ‘an get it from? He’s Wei Yuan’s trusted aide, how could he help my father … Wang simu’s eyes turned and looked at Xu Erlang’s evasive look.
Her heart sank, and she quickly pulled his sleeve.
Wang simu cried out in shock.
Xu Erlang’s face was swollen, his nose was bruised, and his lips were cut. He looked like he had been beaten up.
“Did your big brother do it? Because … Because of these secret letters?” Wang simu’s lips trembled.
“I fell on my own.” Xu Erlang denied it.
Tears gushed out of Wang simu’s eyes like a broken string of pearls.
“He … He actually beat you up like this …. Miss Wang was sobbing.
Big brother’s tricks are really effective … Xu Erlang sighed in his heart and explained, really fell on my own.”
He did not waste any time. these secret letters were given by my big brother, ” he said. but he has a condition. I need to talk to the chief Assistant face to face.
Wang simu took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her tears. She looked at Xu Erlang with eyes full of love.
“I’ll bring you there now,” she nodded.
In the spacious study, the smell of Sandalwood Rose in the air. Chief advisor Wang held a cup of tea and frowned without saying a word.
Qian Qingshu, the Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace, Chen Qi, the Grand Secretary of jianji Palace, Minister sun, and other trusted aides were gathered together with grave expressions.
“From Your Majesty’s words, it will be our turn in a few days?” Qian Qingshu said in a deep voice.
Chen Qi, the Grand Secretary of the Jiangji Palace, had a bad temper. He slammed the table and cursed, ‘”‘The Chuzhou City massacre case was caused by King Huai’s madness, how can it be tolerated? At worst, I’ll resign.”
“If you resign, it will be exactly what that Qin guy wants,” the Minister of Personnel affairs snorted coldly.
Chief advisor Wang sat in the main seat, tasting the fragrant tea and silently listening to the quarrel between his colleagues. The old man had been a court official for half his life, and he had never been flustered and exasperated. Seeing that the quarrel had died down, chief advisor Wang asked, “”What’s Wei
Yuan’s attitude?”
“The door was closed.” Qian Qingshu’s face was dark.
“No surprise.” Chief advisor Wang nodded. His Majesty still needs him. Wei Yuan is much more useful than us.
“Will His Majesty tolerate his family’s dominance?” the Secretary of State for the Ministry of official personnel affairs sneered.
Chief advisor Wang took a sip of tea and said in a calm tone, “”Many years ago, I felt that he was tired of the struggles in the court and wanted to take control of the Army again. If I’m not wrong, he played a part in King Huai’s death.
“Minister sun, you are in charge of the Ministry of Justice. You have to keep a good watch. You can’t let the Supreme Court and Imperial Censorate decide on the crimes.”
Minister sun from the Ministry of Justice nodded.
Minister Xu, I know you support the Crown Prince. This is a good opportunity to contact the other princes.
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of official personnel affairs nodded.
Then, chief advisor Wang said calmly, ‘”‘There’s nothing bad about retiring. It’s better to retire at the prime of your life than to have a bleak end. Moreover, you can rise up after retirement. A gentleman must learn to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and when to retreat, retreat.”
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Wang simu’s gentle and pleasant voice rang out.”Father, your daughter has something to ask of you.”
