After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Time passed by minute by minute, but Xiao Jinzhi just looked at it with faint eyes and still did not speak.

Liu Changhan's courage, which he finally mustered up, was completely wiped out by this look.

His heart sank heavily.

It seems that the emperor really wants to ignore it and use this matter to completely deal with the Liu family, thus avenging the previous hostility and conspiracy.

At this moment, Liu Changhan felt a little desperate.

Yes, over the years, the emperor has never cared about rumors. If he is really determined to deal with it, no matter whether the crime is sufficient or not, I am afraid that neither he nor the Liu family will be able to escape today.

The last glimmer of hope seemed to be shattered, and the momentum around Liu Changhan instantly weakened.

He sighed deeply and lowered his gaze, "That's all, no matter how the emperor wants to deal with Wei Chen, Wei Chen will never have any complaints, but I only hope that the Emperor can be merciful and spare the lives of the rest of the Liu family."

A wrong choice is a wrong choice. Since he had stood against the third prince before, although he later chose to support the emperor, in the emperor's heart, it was still different after all.

As an emperor, how could he allow an untrustworthy courtier to remain in the position of prime minister, not to mention that he... was still causing trouble for the emperor and the queen.

Seeing Liu Changhan like this, Xiao Jinzhi finally spoke, and a chuckle broke the extremely depressing atmosphere in the hall.

"I just said something that crossed the line. Is Prime Minister Liu going through all the possible punishments, and then sentenced himself to death first?"

Liu Changhan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinzhi, "Your Majesty, what are you..."

"Prime Minister Liu has indeed done it. I don't want such a thing to happen again. However, I am not so harsh. Because of these reasons, I took your life and even implicated the Liu family."

He understood what Liu Changhan was thinking. He just felt that it was impossible for him to completely trust him, and he even held a grudge because of what happened before.

And the reason why he hesitated to speak was because he wanted to see how far Liu Changhan would go.

"The emperor doesn't plan to kill the minister?" Liu Changhan was still a little doubtful.

At this time, with the label of being a clique and seeking personal gains, the emperor can actually get rid of himself, and even if it doesn't work, he can also take away his position as prime minister.

"Since I came to the throne, the Prime Minister has made no mistakes or omissions in the government affairs of the court. Although I am very dissatisfied with today's actions, I will give you a one-year salary as punishment in view of your past achievements. As for other courtiers, , a fine of half a year’s salary.”

Xiao Jinzhi stood up and looked at Liu Changhan, "I don't want to see what happened today a second time. If you let me know later that you dare to plan in private again in an attempt to pressure the queen... Aiqing's position as prime minister will be ruined." It can indeed be removed.”

Liu Changhan stared at Xiao Jinzhi blankly. It wasn't until a courtier behind him gently tugged on his robe and reminded him that he came to his senses and answered.

"Yes, I obey the order."

Although they were fined, several courtiers felt greatly relieved. When Xiao Jinzhi was not paying attention, they quickly raised their sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads and necks.

"Mr. Chen Xi, how about I take you back to the Marquis Mansion?" Xiao Jinzhi had a gentle smile on his face.

Mr. Shen Xi looked at him, nodded and said, "In that case, it's up to you to thank the Emperor."

"Your Majesty." Liu Changhan stopped Xiao Jinzhi, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Wei Chen has something to say to the Emperor alone."

"Sir, could I trouble you to wait in the carriage for a moment?"

"Of course." Mr. Shen Xi glanced at Liu Changhan, then withdrew his gaze and left the hall first, while several other courtiers also hurriedly resigned.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you deal with the minister?" Liu Changhan asked, expressing his doubts.

"Didn't Prime Minister Liu just say it himself? If I deal with you just because of this matter, it will inevitably lead to discussion."

"Is the Emperor really afraid of discussion?" Liu Changhan couldn't help but speak.

"Of course I'm not afraid." Xiao Jinzhi laughed, "But why would I kill you just because of this matter?"

Liu Changhan's mood was complicated. Did the emperor really never think about dealing with him, or did he just feel that the time had not come yet?

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is brave. Are you really willing to let Wei Chen sit in the position of prime minister? After all, Wei Chen has..."

"What happened before is over, and didn't the Prime Minister make the right choice in the end? Why should you be frightened?" Xiao Jinzhi's eyes revealed a smile, "If I were the Prime Minister, instead of thinking here and there, I would always feel that I would care about you. Instead of taking action, it’s better to think about how to handle government affairs better, and...don’t try to commit suicide, my patience has its limit, especially the queen, you can’t touch her.”

Liu Changhan looked at Xiao Jinzhi silently. Although the other person's tone contained warning, at this moment, the restless mood in his heart finally calmed down.

So, the emperor really will not pursue the previous matter anymore, is this all just his overthinking?

"Is there anything else, Prime Minister?" Xiao Jinzhi didn't leave much time for the other party to think carefully, "After all, he is the Queen's teacher. I don't want Mr. Shen Xi to wait too long."

Liu Changhan shook his head and raised his hands to Xiao Jinzhi seriously: "Wei Chen understands, Wei Chen respectfully sends you to the Emperor."

Xiao Jinzhi looked away, walked away, and waved his hand to indicate that Liu Changhan did not need to follow.

Watching the emperor's figure go away, Liu Changhan finally felt more at ease.

Outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiao Jinzhi saw that Mr. Shen Xi was not in his carriage, so he got on the carriage of the Marquis Mansion instead.

"The emperor wants to send the grassroots back. I guess he has something to say to the grassroots."

"I just want to say thank you, sir, for protecting your appearance."

"It is only reasonable to protect one's own students, so there is no need to express gratitude, not to mention..." Mr. Shen Xi looked at Xiao Jinzhi, "If it were me, I might make the same choice as the emperor. "

"Thank you for your understanding, sir." Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile.

"Your Majesty...really you have nothing else to say?"

"Originally, there was, because I didn't want Yan Yan to be sad. But I just heard what Mr. said in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now it's gone. After all, Mr. understands me, and I naturally have to respect Mr."

Before coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, after much struggle, he still wanted to persuade Mr. Shen Xi to take care of himself. If something really happened to him, Yan Yan would definitely be sad.

But after listening to what the other party said, he had completely given up the idea and chose to respect whatever the other party made.
