After rebirth, I teamed up with the scumbag's mistress

Pei Guan was filled with pain, and could still hear the people's curses faintly in his ears, "How did it come to this? Sigh, is it really the only way to resign?"

It was not until nightfall that Pei Guan went out in the dark to look for the prince.

"Your Highness, the public is furious and public opinion is rampant. It is hard to do anything. I am afraid..." Pei Guan looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with reluctance in his eyes. "I am afraid that I can only retire due to illness to avoid this disaster."

"I can't help Your Highness on the road ahead. Please take care of yourself and take care of yourself so that you can plan for the future." Pei Guan said.

Pei Guan thought that without his support for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the court, he was afraid that the Second Prince's power would become more and more arrogant, and it would be difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to suppress it with his current strength.

The prince looked at Pei Guan and said, "Master Pei, don't worry about me. During the time you were in the Dali Temple, my fifth brother and I formed an alliance."

Pei Guan immediately frowned, "Fifth brother has never liked disputes in the palace, why would it happen this time?"

"Maybe Fifth Brother has figured it out." The prince said uncertainly.

"But he was sincere. It was he who came up with the idea to deal with the evil book this time."

"Master Pei, according to what fifth brother said, the power of my second brother and I will remain balanced. You can rest assured to retire on the grounds of illness and don't have to worry about me." said the prince.

Pei Guan was still a little worried, but he had to leave with a heavy heart.

The next day, Pei Guan wrote a letter to His Majesty, requesting to resign and return home.

The emperor also agreed to this.

The emperor was very angry about the leaflet, but he did not want to make a big deal out of it for fear of affecting Concubine Wan and her son.

He then issued an edict personally, claiming that he had given the book "Gui Xun" to Concubine Wan to read, because its theme and content were similar to "Nu Jie", so he gave it to Concubine Wan to study.

At the same time, he ordered the arrest of Ren Yong, the Censor of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhang Youliang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Fu Changfeng, the Minister of War.

The emperor suspected that the leaflet might be related to Ren Yong, who took the lead in refuting Pei Guan. The article also mentioned forming a party, which violated his taboo.

He hated it most when ministers in the court formed cliques for personal gain.

Pei Guan has already resigned and returned to his hometown, so that's all.

Not long after, news came from the Dali Temple that the three men were exiled to serve as minor officials in Hanbei on charges of "forming a clique to write a book, arbitrarily pointing fingers at palace bans, interfering with grand ceremonies, misleading the world and slandering people."

At this point, the case of the evil book came to an end.

On the other side, in the flower hall where the Liu family entertained guests.

Liang Jiuan walked in briskly, "Yue Fu, it's just as you said. We used their tricks against us and turned the tables. Now, my second brother has demoted three people, one of whom is the Minister of War."

"I'm afraid Concubine Wan's face is about to be twisted with anger." Liang Jiuan said with a smile.

"This is all thanks to you." Liang Jiuan said with some relief.

"This is not my credit. It was Madam Wei's idea. She suggested making flyers and distributing them all over the streets overnight, using public opinion to create momentum." Liu Yuefu said with a smile.

"Since the other party wants to use public opinion to suppress us and turn white into black, then we might as well take advantage of their tactics and use public opinion to build momentum, so we can attack them as well." Liu Yuefu said seriously.

"Madam Wei is really smart and clever." Liang Jiuan praised sincerely.

"Well, we decisively gave up on the powerful official Pei Guan, whom we should have supported, and seemed to be in a dead end. In the end, we dragged three people from the other side down with us," Liu Yuefu replied.

“You can only gain if you give up something. Many times, only by risking your life can you be reborn.” Liu Yuefu sighed.

"If the eldest brother lost Pei Guan, but the second brother suffered no losses, the balance of victory would begin to tilt." Liang Jiuan continued.

Liu Yuefu nodded, "It was a safe bet this time."

"Comparing our power with the Second Prince, it actually seems to be in a relatively balanced state now," Liang Jiuan said.

"I don't think they will just let it go. Especially..." Liu Yuefu paused before speaking, "I saw Princess Jialin from afar last time. She is Kang Miaoqing."

"Although her clothing style has changed and her facial features seem to be more delicate, I am sure she is Kang Miaoqing." Liu Yuefu said confidently.

"Princess Jialin is going to marry the second prince in the future, which means she will be a member of the second prince's camp. This attempt to kill two birds with one stone might have been initiated by her." Liu Yuefu continued.

"I know Princess Jialin. She really looks almost exactly like your missing cousin Kang." Liang Jiuan said.

"When I have time, I will go meet her. I don't believe that there are two people in this world who look so similar." Liu Yuefu said.

Liang Jiuan nodded, "You have to be careful. If she is a spy of the Chen State, don't provoke her easily. A spy of the Chen State needs to learn a lot of courses. She can come here to marry the second brother, maybe she has something to rely on."

Liu Yuefu looked at Liang Jiuan and nodded cautiously.

At this time, in Concubine Wan's bedroom.

Concubine Wan angrily threw a cup of tea to the ground, and the tea immediately spilled onto the ground. The porcelain pieces of the teacup also flew around, making a mess on the ground.

"Your Majesty, you are a person favored by destiny. Why do you have to worry about the success or failure at this moment?!" Kang Miaoqing advised.

Concubine Wan rubbed her temples, sat on the couch, and sighed softly.

"Although we drove away Pei Guan, the powerful official in the prince's camp, we lost three people on our side, especially the Minister of War Fu Changfeng, whose position is very important." Concubine Wan said.

"In that case, let's get started. I will tell my brother. Your Majesty, please rest assured about the position of Minister of War. We will definitely help the Second Prince's people get it." Kang Miaoqing said firmly.

Concubine Wan reached out and held Kang Miaoqing's hand, "My child, you have worked so hard."

Kang Miaoqing smiled and shook her head, "After all, I will soon be His Highness's person, so this is nothing."

Concubine Wan smiled, then her expression turned serious again, "The prince has been fighting back hard lately, we can't just sit there and wait for death."

"Your Majesty is right. Does Your Majesty have any idea?" Kang Miaoqing asked.

"What I mean is that we should develop our strength. Do you have any friends in the business world in Qi State?" asked Concubine Wan.

Kang Miaoqing's eyes flickered, and she thought of someone. "There is one, Mr. Wu, the owner of Tianchang Building. I wonder if the queen knows this person?"

Concubine Wan raised her lips slightly, "I have heard of business celebrities like Boss Wu. If this is the case, things will be much easier."

"Your Majesty, what do you want him to help you with?" Kang Miaoqing asked.
