After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Yao Yunfeng was slightly stunned and his face turned cold.

The Jingzhao prefect's expression suddenly turned cold, shedding his usual gentleness and composure, revealing his sharpness that had always been well concealed. It was a face that seemed slightly young in the court, with unsmoothed edges and corners between his eyebrows and eyes, and a bit of childishness that had not yet dissipated.

He stared at Yuan Ge and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean, Madam? Do you think Yao is the kind of person who would succumb to power and disregard the truth and justice?"

Even though he said this, his expression was only a little distant, with no obvious joy or anger.

Yuan Ge pursed his lips as he looked at Yao Yunfeng, then passed him over to Zhi Tao inside the house. The little girl was sitting on a stool, stretching her neck and looking around curiously. She did look a little silly, but it was hard for Yuan Ge to tell how much of her sillyness was real.

Zhitao had been missing for too long, long enough for many changes to occur. Yuan Ge was not an innocent little girl, and she could not trust Zhitao, who suddenly appeared and lost her memory, just because of their impure relationship.

Yuan Ge lowered his head slightly, "Master Yao misunderstood, I didn't mean that. In fact, Master Yao should have guessed that the girl's disappearance case has developed to this point, and it is obvious that Qin Yongpei is not unrelated. Now, this prince intends to push everything to a dead person and give Jingzhao Prefecture a dead murderer, so that the Lord can have an explanation in front of His Majesty and the people. In this way, there will be no more victims in this matter, at least, there will be no more victims in Shengjing City. This case involves a wide range of people. If Master Yao wants to close the case, now is indeed the time... Master Yao is willing to sacrifice himself, but under the power of the strong, there will be no eggs intact. If the Lord is stripped of his official hat or even... Isn't this a big loss for the people of Shengjing?"

Yao Yunfeng looked at Yuan Ge quietly, "Young Madam, are you testing me?"

Yuan Ge shook her head. She really thought so.

Jin Su's crime can be settled privately, and it's not difficult to kill someone and pay for his life. Even if it's just a personal grudge between him and Qin Yongpei, there is always a way to solve it privately, but if it involves the imperial power, it will be too difficult to make the truth known to the world. How can it take one person several months to do it? If you can kill the person next to you and the child in your belly, and still tarnish their name after death, what about other people who are not relatives or friends? The royal family... decides life and death, but it's just a matter of thought. Since there is a roundabout way, why bother to fight against the stone with an egg?

Song Wenyuan looked up at Yuan Ge. The little girl had always had a bit of ruffian spirit. To put it nicely, she was flexible. What should she do if the enemy was too strong to defeat? She would retreat, and there would be no shortage of firewood. She would hide, hide, and live in disgrace. Then, she would sharpen her sword for ten years, and shock the world with her sword. Then, she would take revenge for her grudges and avenge her grievances.

This is a similar temperament to Xu Chengjin.

But Yao Yunfeng is not.

This Jingzhao prefect, who seemed to be good at manipulating others and never offended anyone, was actually a "fool" who would rather die with honor than live in disgrace.

The "idiot" looked at Yuan Ge again and again, making sure that she was not joking or testing him, and then he sighed softly, "Yao knows what the young lady means. A smart person weighs the pros and cons and chooses the best option, but Yao is really not a smart person. I rely on the care of my colleagues in the court to be an official until now. Moreover, if Yao is really such a smart person, it is still unknown whether it will be a blessing or a curse for the people of Shengjing, isn't it? Although no egg can be intact under the power of the powerful, there must be someone who is willing to sacrifice his life to seek justice and truth."

After that, he smiled and said, "Yao, I am willing to be your vanguard."

Dark clouds gathered and hung over our heads.

Winter days without sunshine always seem particularly cold, and the wind seems to be filled with knives, cutting people's faces one by one.

I thought he was a smart man who could get along with everyone, but he turned out to be a stubborn donkey who would not turn back even if he hit a wall. Such a stubborn donkey is really not very smart... Yuan Ge crushed the weeds growing in the cracks of the bluestone bricks under his feet and smiled softly, "Forget it. Anyway, I have some unfinished grudges with that person, so I will help you this time. I will take this girl back and help you check whether she is really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. As for the words on her palm, if Lord Yao has made up his mind, I will help you remove them."

Who was that person? She didn't say anything, and Yao Yunfeng didn't understand. Yao Yunfeng didn't even dare to thank her, and only looked at Song Wenyuan hesitantly.

As expected, Song Wenyuan, who had not spoken a word from beginning to end, frowned upon hearing this and called softly, "Qianqian, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved."

"How can it not matter?" She smiled, "It's my master's misfortune."

"Qianqian..."

Yuan Ge lowered his head and grasped Song Wenyuan's hand, intertwined his fingers, looked up at him, and after a while looked at Yao Yunfeng, "Sir Yao, please send the person to the Kejing Earl's Mansion on the pretext of medical treatment later. We will go back first." After that, he pulled Song Wenyuan out of Jingzhao Mansion without saying anything. Yao Yunfeng then bowed in the direction where the two left and did not stand up for a long time.

Only after he walked out of the door did Yuan Ge stop and look up at the sky. The clouds were thick, with large dark clouds covering his head. The sunlight shone down from higher and farther away, and the borders of the clouds seemed to be coated with a layer of bright golden light.

The last bit of playfulness in Yuan Ge's eyes disappeared. She tilted her head to look at Song Wenyuan. Because she had just stared at the sky for a long time, her eyes seemed a little uncomfortable, so she squinted slightly and said, "Song Wenyuan, if I don't care, you will help him, right?"

After a long time, Song Wenyuan responded softly, "Hmm." He had made many enemies in the court, but almost no friends. Yao Yunfeng was one of them, with whom he could sit and drink and chat after official duties.

Although he is not a close friend, he is a friend worth helping. I can't bear to see him walking alone in the dark night.

"That doesn't count as helping him. You and I are husband and wife, and we should share the good and the bad. Besides, both Qin Yongpei and Jin Su have some personal grudges against me." Yuan Ge was not surprised by Song Wenyuan's answer. Looking at his clasped hands, he said softly, "A smart person should seek benefits and avoid harm, but you and he are the same. You have a smart appearance, but are actually stupid and foolish..."

Song Wenyuan lowered his eyebrows and smiled softly, "I am better than him. It's just that I received some favors before, and I thought it would be good if I could take this opportunity to repay it... Don't worry, I promised to accompany you to see the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas and travel with you to the ends of the earth. Your husband never breaks his promise."

"You'd better remember it." Yuan Ge responded hesitantly, and after a while he said, "Song Wenyuan, the scapegoat has been revealed, so you have to catch Jin Su quickly. Otherwise, if she goes to the ends of the earth first, it will be difficult for you to catch her... Without the real murderer, the truth and justice are doomed to be hopeless."

"Ah."
