Today is so similar to the past, but it is very different.

Because the result of the imperial trial back then was what the Holy Majesty wanted, but this trial of the son-in-law's cannibalism case was not what the Holy Majesty wanted.

Even against the entire royal clan.

Ji Jin came in with the soup, carefully placed the soup on the table, turned around and quickly closed the door, not daring to let a trace of cold air sneak in.

"grown ups……"

"Huh?" Qu Quan took the decoction, took out the spoon and put it aside, frowned and raised his neck and poured it vigorously.

Jiji was a little hesitant, but still explained the situation, "Lord Hang and Master Shuo ask to see you."

"Cough, cough, cough——!" Qu Quan coughed violently, Ji Jin didn't have time to blame himself and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe the medicine juice splashed on Qu Quan's body.

Qu Quan waved his hands to indicate that it was okay, then sighed, "I'm so sick that I can't get up, let them go into the back room."

Seeing the rare pair of casual clothes entering the room together, Qu Quan inexplicably felt like laughing, while Shuo Shihu and Hang Shicheng sat down on the seats arranged by Jiji.Thanks to this appearance, Qu Quan knew that they all had someone they loved, otherwise they would have thought that these two were here to propose marriage.

Qu Quan's smile was extremely tired, but it was obvious that his spirit had been lifted up, "What? Even you guys want to persuade me?"

Shuo Dendrobium heard the words, wanted to say something but swallowed it back hesitantly, but Hang Shicheng spoke.

"As a friend, there are some things I really shouldn't say, but as your counselor, there are some things I have to say." Hang Shicheng shook his head, "This case has undoubtedly touched everyone's bottom line, but it's a pity that Shi Hu and I are not qualified to hear this case case, and among those qualified to hear it, only you are willing to try it."

He paused, and sighed helplessly, "It's just that you are the last one to try this case."

Qu Quan knew what he meant, and said jokingly: "Princess Zhaoren also said this, but it's only pleasant to hear from you."

"The emperor is not a foolish emperor, but his suspiciousness ranks first in the past 500 years." Hang Shicheng leaned back on the back of his chair, "You are a cruel official trained by the emperor, and he is a knife for eradicating dissidents. If the knife suddenly cuts Things that have been broken by the owner, even if they will not be destroyed immediately, will be sealed in the cabinet, and it will be difficult to use them again."

If the knife wants to continue to play a role, no matter how hard it is, it cannot break away from the hand holding the knife.

Qu Quan held his forehead and smiled wryly, she didn't know what Hang Shicheng said.These years have been walking on thin ice. Although many things have come true, they are all in exchange for doing things that go against my heart several times.She is not a young student who has just entered the official career, with the ambition to clean up the rivers and seas. She has been immersed in officialdom for many years, and she has not seen any dirty transactions?But some things have crossed her conscience and reached her final bottom line of being a human being.

She knew that Wei Yueyan also rejected Zhaoren, and she heard that Wei Yueyan knelt in front of the second uncle's door for a long time after she heard that Wei Yueyan refused.Wei Yueyan also has something she wants to do, a goal she wants to achieve, she knows her opponent better than anyone else, that person must have given up something very important.

But if she would also face a choice like that of Wei Yueyan, perhaps it would not be so cruel.

Wei Yueyan just gave up an opportunity, and she——

It's all for naught.

Several years of hard work have been in vain, and the future may not be expected.

"You two, don't worry too much." After a long silence, Qu Quan suddenly said, "It's not that I don't understand some things. After all these years, I'm no longer a child. I have my own sense of proportion."

When the words fell, seeing that Hang Shicheng and Shuo Shihu were silent, he said a few more words of relief.

Seeing Qu Quan's pale complexion and suffering from illness, the two of them tried their best to comfort themselves despite the tremendous pressure, and they couldn't bear to watch it any more.Shuo Dendrobium glanced at her face, and Hang Shicheng briefly told her about the activities outside these days, reminded her to pay special attention to who and what happened next, and then got up to leave.

Shuo Dendrobium did not say a word from the beginning to the end.

--------------

Mrs. Qu has experienced ups and downs in the official life all her life, and she has developed the habit of reciting scriptures every morning and evening.At this time, halfway through the recitation, there was a knock on the door.The only one who would come to disturb me at this hour was her precious granddaughter.

"Tsuan come in."

Qu Quan entered the room in response, turned around and closed the door.

Seeing her coming to the front, Mrs. Qu's face was still a little pale, but because Xueji was madly forcing her to take care of her, she finally had some blood.Then he pretended to reproach him and said: "If you don't go to accompany Xueji at night, what are you doing here?" Even so, he hugged his beloved granddaughter to his bed, and the grandparents and grandchildren sat next to each other just like when they were children. .

Qu Quan nestled in the arms of Old Madam Qu, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Grandma, I'm afraid."

The title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, the tenacity of not being humble in the face of force and power, and even being able to fight back, the strength of giving reassurance to those who need her protection against the pressure of force, the gentleness of comforting friends who are sick but still strong... It's easy to forget that she's just a daughter in her twenties.

There will be things you want to do, but there will also be fears.

At this moment, in front of her closest relatives, she peeled off all the shells, and hid in the warm embrace of her grandmother with the most naked/luǒ posture.
