The eldest princess is a captive and the abstinent official is seductive

After hesitating for only a moment, Wen Jin turned around and went back to change clothes.

He felt that he had already owed a lot of debts recently, and it would probably take a while for His Highness to settle these debts. There was no need to continue to challenge His Highness's temper.

After returning to the room, she changed into a white brocade robe with embroidered bamboo patterns. Wen Jin straightened her collar in the mirror, checked the cuffs and hem of the robe, and made sure it was clean and tidy without any messy wrinkles before turning around and walking out.

This time no one stopped him.

Arriving at Qihuang Courtyard, Wen Jin hesitated a little, but the hesitation was only for a moment. He quickly stepped into the bluestone courtyard, followed the stone steps, and stepped into the threshold.

Yan Qing was sitting on the brocade couch by the window, not reading a book, but just sleeping with her forehead propped up. Her appearance was stunning, her features were cold and noble, and there was nothing about it that made people admire her.

It seems like a glance for thousands of years.

Wen Jin was so fascinated by it that she couldn't bear to look away for a long time. Although she knew the etiquette, she could no longer restrain the surging emotions in her heart. The hidden emotions in her eyes were freely vented when she couldn't see them.

"Didn't I tell you to take a rest?" Yan Qing opened his eyes, "Why are you here again?"

Wen Jin narrowed her eyes, and all her emotions were hidden deep in her heart again: "Why don't Your Highness go to bed to sleep?"

"Where I sleep seems to have nothing to do with you." Yan Qing said in a calm voice, "But you, have you made a habit of disobeying orders recently?"

Wen Jin came closer and said in a low voice, "I can't sleep."

"Why can't you sleep?"

Wen Jin shook his head: "Every time I fall asleep, I have nightmares. After I wake up, I can't fall asleep again."

Eating and sleeping are a kind of torture for him.

But people must eat and sleep to live. Even if the food tastes bad, even if they sleep every night, they must force themselves to eat a little and sleep for a while.

Yan Qing was silent for a moment, "I have been poisoned by Xiao Jinghan for seven years. In fact, my body has already withered away. I will die early or late for only three or two days. Whether there is a conspiracy set up by Yan Chen or not, it cannot change the outcome."

The reason why she complained about Wen Jin was because she was unwilling to do so. She thought that what she heard before she died was true, and that she had spent seven years of hard work raising a white-eyed wolf.

In fact, she had always had some hope in her heart. She subconsciously believed that he should not betray her. Otherwise, as early as the moment he appeared in the princess mansion, he should have been pulled down and given a painful beating, or he should have been given a poison. Him, let him suffer the same poisonous torture as Yan Chen.

Her unbearability stems from those seven years of relationship, and also stems from the remaining trust in her heart. She seems to be sure that he betrayed her, that is, she is sure that she is blind and blind, and she always feels a bit unwilling.

Now that the truth has been revealed, it means a sense of relief for them.

Wen Jin's face was pale and she looked down at her hands, her eyes filled with deep sorrow and regret.

What he regretted was not that night, but those seven long years.

They lived in the same imperial city, and he lived in another mansion not far from her, but he was too stupid to notice that she was vicious, cowardly and did not dare to see her, and he was worried about causing misunderstanding even when he heard from her.

He suppressed his feelings and missed the opportunity to learn the truth again and again. But if he had more courage, how could Jamel Xiao succeed?

If he hadn't been poisoned in his previous life and suffered the plot of betrayal and alienation, why would His Highness have to test the poison himself and endure pain comparable to that of Ling Chi?

What's the point of being a powerful minister?

Wen Jin felt a dull pain in his heart. On the surface, he was famous, but he couldn't even protect the people he wanted to protect. Those famous praises sounded so ironic.

Yan Qing saw that he was immersed in his own thoughts again, torturing himself, so he simply didn't look at it, and his mind was not bothered. He closed his eyes again and fell asleep, letting him think about it.

Wen Jin really hated himself. Even though he knew that it would be useless, he couldn't help it. Every time he thought of that scene, his heart broke.

When he came back to his senses from the past, he realized that Yan Qing seemed to be asleep.

So he looked at her cautiously, coveting the situation where he could look at her in the bright light at this time, instead of like in his previous life, where he could only stand on the roof and look in the distance, not even daring to get close.

"I am going to get married after all." Yan Qing closed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "Although I don't know who it is in the end, there will definitely be one or a few people, either because of liking or because of..."

Having said this, she smiled playfully: "Three thousand beauties in the harem are pretty good, what do you think?"

Wen Jin pursed her lips and was stunned for a moment before lowering her eyes and saying, "I will try my best to become the person who has 뇾."

No matter what, he could never leave her again in this life, even if he was of low status and destined to be nameless and without distinction, he would not leave her.

Yan Qing pursed her lips, stood up, walked into the inner hall, lay down on the bed, and ignored him.

Wen Jin's eyes fell on her back, watching her lie down, and then he reluctantly looked away and turned to look at the long case where the scriptures were copied last night.

He walked over and sat down in front of the case.

Taking an ink stick, adding water to grind the ink, he took a piece of rice paper and spread it on the table. Wen Jin calmed down, dipped his pen in the ink, and calmly started writing on the rice paper.

Regent Yan Cang.

The four vassal kings Mu Han, Lu Ming, Chu Yanling, and Ye Jinglan.

General Xiao Chongshan.

The chief minister of the cabinet is Wen Jin, and the assistant ministers are Wang Wenyuan, Xu Songbai and Zheng Qingchun.

Ji Lin'an, the Minister of Household Affairs.

Hou Baiqing, the official minister.

Qu Wenzhong, Minister of the Ministry of War.

Ministry of Rites...

Ministry of Industry...

Ministry of Punishment.

Ji Lin, the leader of the Royal Forest Army.

There are many civil and military ministers in the court. There are as many as a hundred people who can be in the court every day. There are more than a hundred people who attend the first day of the month and the grand court meeting. Each position is crucial, but apart from a few military generals, only the cabinet and the ministers of the Ministry of Personnel have the greatest power.

Wen Jin looked at the names listed on the paper and crossed out Xiao Chongshan first. In his heart, this person is already a dead man and insignificant.

A small circle was drawn after Ji Linan's name, indicating that this person is already within the controllable range.

Wen Jin's eyes fell on the name of the Minister of Personnel Hou Baiqing, and his eyebrows were slightly locked. He was thinking about whether to deal with Hou Baiqing or Cheng Guogong next.

Cheng Guogong was one of the veteran military generals during the time of the previous emperor. He had made great military achievements in the past, and he was seriously injured in the wrist because of protecting the emperor, so he could no longer go to the battlefield, but his daughter married into Chen Guojiu's family, and was considered a member of the Queen Mother's lineage.

Although some people in the imperial city exaggerated, saying that there was Xiao Chongshan among the generals and Wen Jin among the powerful ministers, the fact is that there were many powerful generals in the court, most of whom were generals who held military power during the previous emperor's period.

The world did not need to raise too many troops, so the previous emperor removed some of the power of the generals.

Duke Cheng was the one who made the most contributions during the previous emperor's period. Being honored as a duke was also the emperor's gratitude to him. His daughter married the legitimate son of Chen Guojiu's family, which was the emperor's intention for him to assist the emperor.

Yan Chen had just ascended the throne, and there was no reason that was logical enough. It was impossible for him to immediately resign those generals who had been removed from power. At first, he relied on the Xiao family.

And Wen Jin, a young powerful minister who sat in the position of the prime minister just three years after entering the court, did not have such a deep foundation. Many things were not under his control. If it was just for his own sake, he would not care who these people listened to and who formed a party with whom.

But His Highness wanted that chair.

It's not just for revenge, nor is it just to overthrow Yan Chen's kingdom. It's easy to get that chair, but to sit firmly, you need the assistance of loyal and reliable ministers.

So Wen Jin needs to plan carefully, make all those who can benefit benefit, eliminate all those who can't benefit, and train a new group of people who are loyal to His Highness.
