The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge
Chapter 167 Undercurrent
"Haoyu's reputation among the people is growing. If this continues, it will pose a direct threat to our status." A middle-aged noble said in a deep voice, with a calculating gleam in his eyes.
"Yes, we must take measures to curb his momentum." Another person said, his tone revealing unquestionable determination, "We can't just sit back and watch him gain a foothold in the court."
Everyone nodded and began to discuss countermeasures. They knew that directly confronting Haoyu was too risky, and they had to find a more covert and effective method.
At the same time, Wei An, Haoyu's friend and right-hand man, was busy in the study. As Haoyu's think tank, she not only assisted in handling government affairs, but also kept an eye on the slightest movement in the court. Today, when she was reviewing a document on the appointment and removal of an official, she accidentally discovered an anomaly - behind a newly appointed official, there seemed to be a complex conflict of interest.
"There may be something more complicated behind this." Wei An frowned and decided to investigate further. She knew that every step of Haoyu touched the sensitive nerves of the court, and if he was not careful, he might fall into an irretrievable situation.
Wei An used his intelligence network to quietly launch an investigation. As the investigation deepened, a huge conspiracy gradually surfaced - it turned out that there was indeed a force in the court trying to subvert the existing order. They were conspiring to weaken Haoyu's influence through a series of means, even colluding with foreign enemies.
After learning about this surprising discovery, Wei An immediately rushed to Haoyu's residence. She knew that she had to inform Haoyu of the news as soon as possible so that he could prepare in advance.
When Wei An hurriedly stepped into Haoyu's study, he was staring at the swaying willow branches outside the window, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about some important issue.
"Haoyu, I have something important to report." Wei An's voice broke the silence of the study.
Haoyu turned around and saw Wei An's serious expression. He couldn't help but feel nervous: "Wei An, what happened?"
Wei An told Haoyu everything he had found out, including the conspiracy behind the officials and their collusion with foreign enemies. After hearing this, Haoyu's face suddenly changed, with anger and determination flashing in his eyes.
"How dare these treacherous villains be so bold!" Haoyu punched the desk, causing the four treasures on the desk to make a loud noise. "We must not let them succeed!"
After discussing countermeasures, the two decided to keep silent and secretly collect more evidence so as to deal a fatal blow to the enemy at the critical moment.
In the following days, Haoyu and Wei An acted more cautiously. They continued to implement benevolent policies among the people while secretly investigating the conspiracy group in the court. They used their own resources and wisdom to gradually expose more crimes of the conspiracy group and successfully instigated several key figures to rebel.
Finally, at a court meeting, Haoyu seized the opportunity to expose the crimes of the conspiracy group one by one in public. Those once arrogant and domineering dignitaries collapsed one after another in front of the ironclad evidence. Their crimes were made public, causing shock and indignation in the court and the public.
With this feat, Haoyu not only consolidated his position in the court, but also eliminated a major hidden danger for Yunhan Country. However, he knew that this victory was only temporary and the struggle was far from over. There were still undercurrents in the court, and he had to remain vigilant at all times and work hand in hand with Wei An to jointly protect this hard-won peace and prosperity.
The sky of Yunhan Kingdom is still blue, and the sun shines through the gauze-like clouds and falls on the magnificent palace, adding a bit of warmth and tranquility to this ancient palace. However, behind this tranquility, there are countless unknown secrets and emotions.
Since the unexpected reunion between master and apprentice, Haoyu and Wei'an have become closer. They fought side by side on the battlefield and experienced life and death together. Their deep friendship has surpassed the ordinary master-apprentice relationship. However, Haoyu gradually developed an indescribable emotion in his heart, which was a deep admiration and attachment to Wei'an.
However, this emotion is a taboo for Haoyu. Because he knows very well that Wei An is not an ordinary man, but a woman disguised as a man, hiding an unknown secret. This secret, like an insurmountable gap, lies between him and Wei An, making him unable to express his true feelings.
On this day, the spring sun was particularly bright, and the peach blossoms in the palace were in full bloom, with fragrance everywhere. Haoyu strolled in the imperial garden, but his heart was full of troubles. He accidentally passed by a remote courtyard and suddenly heard a melodious piano sound coming from the courtyard. The piano sound was gentle and lingering, like crying and complaining, and it touched people's hearts.
Haoyu involuntarily stopped and followed the sound. He gently pushed open the half-closed door, and saw peach blossoms flying in the courtyard. A woman in plain clothes was sitting at a stone table, concentrating on playing the guqin. The woman had a pretty face and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. It was Wei An. She took off her usual armor and disguise, revealing a gentle and lovely daughter.
Haoyu stood at the door, stunned. He had never seen Wei An like this before, and at that moment, his heart was deeply shocked. He realized that his feelings for Wei An had long gone beyond the relationship between a master and a disciple, and that it was a more complex and profound emotion.
