Chapter 551 (1/2)



551 One person blocking the ministers (1)

“50 – 50?”

Ming Miao blinked and asked in surprise, “”Dog slave, you’re quite confident.”

Then, her charming peach blossom eyes glanced at Huai Qing and snorted, “”If you want to enter the palace, you can just look for me. Why bring some unimportant people?”

“You’ve become a lot more daring recently.” Huaiqing nodded and walked towards her.

According to the past, Lin ‘an would definitely be shocked at this time. He would jump around like a little rabbit and then slip away.

But this time, she didn’t leave. She proudly puffed out her small chest, put her hands on her waist, and actually chose to be stubborn and rejoiced. She shouted in a crisp voice,”What, was bengong wrong?”

Xu Qi ‘an stood between the two of them and said with a bitter smile, “”Your Majesties, please don’t make a scene. There are outsiders around, don’t make people laugh.”

Are you not an outsider? Huaiqing shot him a glance.

Huaiqing, who had a well-developed figure but an icy goddess-like temperament, frowned slightly. She realized that the relationship between Xu ningyan and Lin ‘an had rapidly warmed up in a short period of time.

For example, Xu Qi ‘an stood between them with his back facing Lin’ an and his face facing her. This was an act of subconsciously protecting the former.

Another example was when they came together, Lin ‘an and Xu ningyan were very close to each other, and had already exceeded the scope of etiquette between officials and princesses.

It was obvious that Xu ningyan was gradually getting closer to Lin ‘an. This discovery made huaiqing feel inexplicably irritated and uncomfortable.

“Your Highness, didn’t you ask me how you plan to deal with this case? I didn’t say it because I wasn’t confident. But now, what should be done has been done. Man proposes, God disposes.”

Xu Qi ‘an led the conversation, not giving the two princesses a chance to argue. Seeing that he had indeed attracted the attention of huaiqing and Lin’ an, he smiled and continued,

“In the beginning, I was distressed about how to prove Erlang’s innocence and that he didn’t cheat. But later, I found out that it didn’t matter whether he cheated or not.”

The new year was just a reason for the Civil officials to start a political game. It was just a reason, or a knife.

In layman’s terms, Xu Erlang was the victim of a political struggle.

Therefore, the crux of the problem and the key to breaking out of the situation was the words “political struggle.” Only by winning this war could Erlang get a fair trial.

Otherwise, was it really important for a person without any backing in the Imperial court to be innocent?

“What you need to do is to find him helpers, helpers that can win the court.” That was the difficulty.

“His identity as a student of Yun Lu Academy has caused him to be destined to be a rootless duckweed. It’s already extremely fortunate that you all didn’t kick him while he’s down, so it’s impossible for you to help him.

“If the Duke of Wei makes a move, then those neutral civil officials will also be involved. No one wishes to see Duke of Wei and Yun Lu Academy form an alliance, and I’m afraid that chief advisor Wang won’t turn a blind eye to it either.”
