After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Mu Qi Zong looked up at him, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Third Prince, some things should not be seen with the eyes, but thought with the brain."

Su Ye frowned, and the mood suddenly dropped.

"Are you saying that this prince has no brains?"

Mu Qizong smiled slightly, and that smile seemed to contain endless vicissitudes and wisdom. In short, it was mysterious: "The affairs of the court are complicated and complicated, and the struggle for power is everywhere."

"You are in the middle of it, so it's inevitable that you can't see clearly, but for us outsiders, it's easier to notice."

I saw that Su Ye’s face was already showing impatience.

Mu Qi Zong knew that if he continued to make fun of Qiao, this person would get angry, so Mu Qi Zong began to speak seriously.

"Although the official appeared to be righteous on the surface, his eyes, behavior, and words all revealed a hint of cunning and greed."

“Others may not be able to see these subtle details, but I can keenly capture them.”

Su Ye's heart moved when he heard this.

He remembered that he had paid attention to the words and deeds of officials in the court, but he had never observed and analyzed them as deeply as Mu Qizon.

He couldn't help but look at Mu Qizon with a new respect, and at the same time he felt a little regretful for his negligence.

He continued to ask: "Then how did you determine that he was the spy?"

Mu Qizong sighed, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "Actually, I don't have any solid evidence."

"But I know the darkness and dangers of the court. Those officials who seem to be in great glory often hide unknown secrets. Through observation and analysis, I felt that the official's behavior was very similar to that of a spy, so I boldly revealed it to you. Unexpectedly, my prediction came true."

In fact, it was Lu Nianyao who told Mu Qizong about the spy.

He was also betting, but he didn't expect to win.

Su Ye didn't know all this yet. As he listened to what Mu Qizong said, a complex emotion surged in his heart.

At this moment, he admired Mu Qizon's sharpness and wisdom very much.

If he could become his retainer, it would be a great help to his seizure of the throne.

But, it was only this time that I guessed correctly.

What if Mu Qi Zong was just bluffing?

Thinking of this, Su Ye had an idea and decided to inspect Mu Qi Zong again.

He asked, "Mu Qi Zong, I will give you one more chance. If you can tell me what will happen next in the drought in Jiangnan, I will let you become my retainer. How about that?"

Su Ye began to extend an olive branch to Mu Qizon.

Mu Qizong's eyes flashed with excitement when he heard this. He knew his situation very well. If he could become Su Ye's retainer, he might be able to revive himself and display his talents again.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Third Prince, the drought in Jiangnan has lasted for a long time and the people are living in poverty. However, based on the changes in the celestial phenomena and my years of observation experience, I predict that the situation will improve in the future."

Su Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Why do you think so?"

Mu Qizong looked up at the sky and said slowly, "Recently, I observed the stars at night and found that auspicious clouds were gathering in the south. This is a good omen."

"Moreover, according to my calculations, rain will fall to the south of the Yangtze River in the near future, alleviating the drought."

Su Ye's heart moved when he heard this.

He knew that what Mu Qizong said was true, because he had also heard some rumors from the national teacher about changes in celestial phenomena.

But he did not express his opinion immediately, but continued to ask: "You are a poor boy, but you know astrology?"

“How can you be sure your predictions are accurate?”

Mu Qizong smiled slightly and said, "Third Prince, although the changes in celestial phenomena are mysterious and unpredictable, they are not without traces."

After saying that, Mu Qi Zong said embarrassedly.

"My family is a farmer and we depend on the weather for our livelihood. I watch the stars in the sky every day and it's normal for me to know a thing or two about this."

"Moreover, I have experienced many droughts and floods since I was born, and I have a deep understanding of the suffering of the people. Therefore, I can make such a prediction."

After listening to Mu Qizon's words, Su Ye had already made a decision in his mind.

He looked at Mu Qizong deeply, and then said: "Okay, I will believe you this time. If your prediction is accurate, I will let you become my follower. But if it is not accurate, you will continue to stay in the cage!"

Mu Qizon was excited when he heard this.

He knew that he had been given a precious opportunity, and as long as he could seize it, he could change his destiny.

He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your trust, Third Prince. I will live up to your expectations."

In the following days, Su Ye sent people to closely monitor the weather changes in Jiangnan.

Mu Qizong was also arranged in the mansion, temporarily free from the shackles of the cage. He found Su Ye's library, studied astronomy and geography every day, and waited for changes in the celestial phenomena.

Finally, after a few days, the long-awaited rain came to the Jiangnan region. The rain moistened the earth, and the dry fields gradually regained vitality.

The people cheered and thanked God for the gift.

When the news reached Kyoto, Su Ye also learned about the rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River.

He was delighted and secretly sighed that Mu Qizon's prediction was indeed accurate.

He immediately summoned Mu Qizon and announced that he would become his retainer.

When Mu Qizong heard the news, he was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your promotion, Third Prince. I will do my best to serve you."

Su Ye nodded and said, "Okay, I believe in your ability. From now on, you will be an important member of my house."

From then on, Mu Qizon became Su Ye's retainer.

The first thing to do when becoming Su Ye’s retainer.

Mu Qizon just begged Su Ye to spare his wife, Lu Nian Yao.

One is a very intelligent retainer who can help him accomplish his great cause.

One was to avenge his beloved concubine.

Su Ye chose the former without hesitation. Besides, Lu Nian Yao had been tormented by Ke'er for so long, and he believed that she had already hated him.

Su Ye asked Mu Qizon to go and get the people himself.

……

When Ke'er heard the news that the maid asked her to release Lu Nian Yao, she was completely dumbfounded.

"How could that be? Your Majesty clearly said that he would vent his anger for me."

Ke'er felt like she was struck by lightning at this moment.

How happy he was to deal with Lu Nianyao a few days ago, how angry he was now after receiving this news.

Ke'er sat on the chair, her hands clenched tightly, her face pale.

Although her appearance was beautiful, it looked a little distorted at the moment. She didn't believe that Su Ye would let Lu Nianyao go so easily.

I don't believe that Su Ye would break his promise to her so easily.

She stood up, walked to the window, looked at the blue sky outside, but her heart was filled with gloom.
