It’s easy to coax my wife, but when facing Han Jun, some truths cannot be avoided.

Han Jun asked bluntly, "Didn't you tell me to take care of this? I've already arranged for someone to do it, so why do you have to step up again?"

Xu Huaiyi glanced at him calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that I will steal your limelight and credit?"

Han Jun's face changed. "How could I have such intention? Besides, what kind of fame and achievement is this? It's clearly a thankless job. If I hadn't used the evidence to control Wu Weizhong and others, do you think they would be willing to be the first to take action?

They have no choice, what about you?

Why did you take the initiative to take on this trouble? Or, what do you want?"

The two of them sat face to face in the study, and the situation was quite tense.

To be precise, Han Jun's whole body was tense and cautious, as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Xu Huaiyi was in a relaxed posture, with only a hint of coldness and mockery in his eyes, and he said calmly, "Don't you know what I want?

Or are you afraid of me and suspecting that I have ulterior motives?"

Upon hearing this, Han Jun immediately denied it, "I don't mind doubting you..."

Xu Huaiyi interrupted his explanation, "I never believe what others say, I only look at what they do. Your current behavior is really unconvincing."

"I, I'm afraid of you..."

Seeing that he was so secretive and his eyes were evasive, Xu Huaiyi sneered, "Just say whatever you want to say. It's just the two of us here, what else do you have to be shy about?"

Han Jun took a few gulps of herbal tea, his eyes fixed on his face, and his tone was filled with a desperate tone, "I'm afraid you will go after the emperor. He, he can't make any mistakes now..."

Sure enough it is so!

After hearing this, Xu Huaiyi's face was as calm as water, and he asked, "Why should I go against him? He is the emperor, surrounded by many experts, am I tired of living and want to go against him?

You think too highly of me. I don't have the courage, the ability, or the intention to do it.

Publicly, he is the emperor of Dayong. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. Once something happens to him, there will be chaos. Privately, no matter what, he is Xiaoyu's biological father. For Xiaoyu's sake, I will not turn against him. "

"Really?"

"What else? Can I still kill the king and rebel?"

The two of them felt no pressure at all when talking about the topic of killing nine generations of a clan.

One dares to speak out, the other dares to listen.

Han Jun was half-believing and half-doubting, "What if, I mean, he attacks you first?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled, "Then what do you want me to do? Obey the emperor's grace and die willingly? Or run for my life with my family like a lost dog?"

Han Jun's throat suddenly became blocked. Not to mention Xu Huaiyi, even he would not have chosen these two paths. They were not the kind of people who would allow themselves to be manipulated by others, even if that person was the emperor!

After a while, he skipped the topic and asked again, "Why did you say those words at the morning court? It would be harmful to you to state your position too early. Don't you believe that I can handle this matter?"

Xu Huaiyi said speechlessly, "You guys just tend to think too much. I don't have any other purpose, okay? Wasn't it because I was forced to say that at the time?

It's the Emperor who's forcing me to express my opinion. What's the point of me being vague?

The civil and military officials in the court were not fools. Even if they were not sure at the time, they would be able to react later.

Furthermore, the news that I rejected Xiaoyu had already spread, and many people were secretly laughing at the two of us. If I cut off my relationship with him, wouldn't that make Xiaoyu's situation even more embarrassing?

How could I let others look down on him like this?

In that situation, I could only stand up and give clear support to save his face and weak position, and let everyone know that I just don’t want to marry my daughter into the royal family, not because I don’t like him.”

Han Jun's expression eased a little, "But if this happens, you'll be in trouble."

Xu Huaiyi said indifferently, "It's only a matter of time, it doesn't matter..."

Han Jun asked tentatively, "You killed so many people this morning that you offended a lot of people. They all don't want Jin'er to come to the court to observe the government. They will definitely plot all kinds of schemes and will also try to deal with you. Do you have any preparations to deal with it?"

Xu Huaiyi did not answer but asked, "Do you think they can plot against me?"

Without waiting for his response, she continued, "There are only those methods and tricks to scheme against people. Do you think they will be effective on me?

I'm not bragging, I've never done anything illegal in all the years I've been in the court. If they want to accuse me of something, they should ask the people in the three departments if they are willing to be fools!"

Han Jun, "..."

It really is!

From this aspect alone, Xu Huaiyi was impeccable. Even the small crime of greed for money, which was a common practice among officials, could not be brought against him, because he was really not greedy. He had more money at home than could be used for charity, so why would he care about the little money from the court?

Xu Huaiyi added, "Just now, you missed one person."

"what?"

"emperor!"

Han Jun was stunned and hesitated to speak.

Xu Huaiyi mocked, "Perhaps he is the one who really wants to plot against me. After all, I was not polite at all in the morning court and I used many roundabout ways to hurt him. How could he feel comfortable?

Guess what he's going to do to me? Assassinate me? Poison me? Or set a trap for me to fall into?"

"No, Huaiyi!" Han Jun said anxiously, "He definitely won't!"

In fact, he wanted to say that he didn't dare, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his mouth.

Otherwise, it would be too damaging to the emperor's dignity.

Xu Huaiyi was noncommittal. "Oh, if it's not these few moves, then he is killing someone with a borrowed knife? This is more in line with his status as an emperor."

Han Jun did not deny it immediately this time. His brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of worry. In the past few years, he had come to understand Emperor Yongping's scheming and tactics. Sometimes, he didn't need to say anything. He just needed to hint to the people around him, and naturally there would be smart people to help him solve his problems.

For example, the concubines in the harem and the forces behind them.

They all wished to overthrow Xu Huaiyi, so that they could curry favor with the emperor and eliminate the threat to their own side, killing two birds with one stone.

After a moment, he made up his mind and reminded her sincerely, "Do you have enough people around you? Be careful when going out recently. And the children, if they can't find any flaws in you, they might attack them and threaten you..."

"How dare they!" Xu Huaiyi's expression suddenly became gloomy and cold. "If you have any problems, come to me. If they dare to hurt my wife and children, I will make them pay a hundred times even if I have to sacrifice my life. I will never regret it."

Han Jun's heart skipped a beat. "Huai Yi, you, you better not do anything rash..."

Xu Huaiyi sneered, "As long as they don't commit suicide, I won't do anything. Otherwise, humph!"

After saying this frightening and cruel word, he stood up and left.

Han Jun was left with wild thoughts all night. When he closed his eyes, blood flowed like a river, thunder roared, fire raged, and he even saw a ghost messenger...

The next day, with dark circles under his eyes, he called his confidants and gave them some serious instructions. He also mobilized all the capable elite troops to protect Xu Huaiyi's two children for twelve hours. No matter what the cost, their safety must be guaranteed.

Otherwise, no one else will be safe.

Although it is a common convention that court struggles should not harm family members and children, there are always a few people who do not follow the rules and are brainless, and we still have to guard against them and try to stop them from getting killed.

Xu Huaiyi also arranged sufficient manpower for the two children, both openly and secretly, and told them that if there was any danger that could not be avoided, then they should get into the RV, even if it meant exposing the secret.

In short, safety first.

Gu Huanxi's instructions were even more cautious and careful. She didn't even allow them to eat the food outside. If they wanted to eat, they would go into the RV when they had a chance and get it. She would prepare it herself to prevent anyone from poisoning them.

The two children nodded obediently.
