Chapter 478 On All Sides

Half a month later, the secret guards who had gone to Qinling to meet Ji Yun's birth mother entered the palace to report the situation. They had received Ji Yun's birth mother who was being assassinated on the outskirts of Qinling's fiefdom, and most of the people who had protected her from escaping had died. In the end, only two of them arrived safely in Capital City.

In Qinling, rumors of the new monarch's tyranny began to spread. Whether Ji Xun did it or not, it was already on Ji Xun's head, especially Su Mianyue, the scourge of beauty, and the infamous Qinling!

Many people were saying that Ji Xun had tyranny because his subjects were loyal to the emperor and patriotic against Ji Xun's marriage to Su Mianyue, who had been involved with other emperors.

As for Ji Xun's new policy, it was suppressed after arriving in Qinling. It was never communicated to the people, because the people still only believed in the king of qin nan who ruled them.

"The reputation of this beauty is already under way. Should I do something about it?" Su Mianyue smiled and instantly made the flowers in Imperial Garden pale. Su Mianyue was the only one Ji Xun could see.

"If Yue wants to, then do it." Ji Xun looked like he was in a daze, and Su Mianyue smiled even more brightly. Both of them knew that this was just a joke. Even if they were not in the heart of the holy mother, they were not the ones who would harm the country and the people.

"King qin nan will soon support his troops and stand on his own, but with his temperament, he should not be sending troops to the imperial court for the time being. How do you intend to resolve this matter?" Su Mianyue asked the guard in a low voice as he waved his hand to let him rest.

"A place in Qinling will not be able to turn over the storm for the time being. However, king qin nan made the first move. If I didn't do anything, the whole court's vassals would raise their flags and rebel. At that time, the Yan Country would only have eyes, which would belong to me. It could be said that I was in trouble from all directions." Ji Xun said calmly. It was obvious that he had expected this situation. "What if Yue was me?"

"But now there are many small countries harassing at the border, and the Beichen are stationed at the border. The army of the imperial court cannot be mobilized, especially here in Yan Capital, to prevent other vassal kings from attacking nearby." Su Mianyue held his chin and looked in the direction of Qinling as he spoke. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "I understand. You want the vassal kings near Qinling to join forces to capture and kill the rebellious ministers. But after doing so, Qinling will be ransacked by them. How will Ji Yun revive Qinling? I'm afraid the princes won't be willing to withdraw, will they?"

Su Mianyue's series of questions made Ji Xun burst into laughter. He pinched Su Mianyue's face and said, "Yue is always so cute. You thought of the worst possibility, but you never thought that sometimes an imperial edict is far more exciting than those riches and fiefs."

"Are you going to write a verbal check?" Su Mianyue asked.

"Why not? At least for me, there is no loss, and the Yan Country needs to recuperate. I'm afraid that the two generations of emperors will not be able to fully implement the plan of enriching the country and strengthening the people. If these vassals are loyal to the emperor, they will be able to promote the new policy more effectively. Even if they are not loyal enough, they can let the people see clearly the good of the court, not afraid that the vassals will cause chaos." Ji Xun smiled leisurely, obviously already fully prepared.

Su Mianyue gave Ji Xun a thumbs-up, "It's really my man. His brain is spinning fast enough, but I'm glad you're my man. If you don't use this intelligence to plot against me, I'll definitely lose."

"Actually, I'm your man, so Yue should never worry about this." Holding Su Mianyue's hand, the two slowly walked towards the imperial study. Ji Xun said in a low voice, "Yue, I want you to meet Ji Yun's birth mother."

"Pull it together?" Su Mianyue asked.

Ji Xun shook his head, "Do you remember me telling you about ji yun and his mother's past? I've asked some of the nails buried in Capital City, and many of the top brass in Capital City are aware of it. Ji Yun shouldn't have lied, but I think his birth mother hated ji yun more than she loved him after all that hatred. I don't want to be wronged by his birth mother after supporting Ji Yun."

Su Mianyue remained silent for a while before asking, "If your guess is true and ji yun knows the truth, do you think he can bear it? Or can he still be used by you?"

"There are two possibilities. One is that Ji Yun will only live for himself from now on, but I don't know how he will choose me, at least I will keep it for him before he completely betrays me. The other is that ji yun will collapse for a period of time, and then muddle away. This result may be the best for the court," Ji Xun said slowly.

"Since you have already thought of the result, I will go and test it out." Su Mianyue stopped talking. Some things were easier for women to communicate with each other, and the results of the test were more realistic.

Without a word, the two parted at the fork in the road. Ji Xun went to handle the state affairs, and Su Mianyue was ready to go out of the palace. However, she could not go to see Ji Yun's birth mother today. It was qin mengxiu who posted to ask Su Mianyue to go over.

Minister of Dali Temple's official position was not high, but he had real power in Capital City, and the qin family had many officials, Su Mianyue would not be able to brush off this face.

Because of the blood wash, the current qin mansion did not see the luxury of the past, even the servants were only a dozen busy.

After being led to Qin Mengxiu's boudoir, Su Mianyue saw a sad girl leaning on a soft couch and looking out the window.

Qin Mengxiu was able to avoid all this when he was in Guangji Temple, but when he returned to the qin mansion, he was filled with the death of his family.

Su Mianyue sat down in front of the piano table and played a gentle tune. Qin Mengxiu was attracted by the sound of the piano and turned around to see Su Mianyue playing the piano with his eyes closed. A variety of emotions flashed in his eyes. It was not until Su Mianyue finished that he got up and saluted.

"Why should Miss Qin be so polite? This is Miss Qin's boudoir. I'm just here as a guest." With a gesture of invitation, Su Mianyue was not in a hurry to get up, but unconsciously fiddled with the strings, listening to the notes that could not be tune flowing out from the bottom of Su Mianyue's hand.

"Miss Su is a noble man's life, and Mengxiu is just getting used to it in advance," Qin Mengxiu whispered.

"Isn't Miss Qin a noble person?" Su Mianyue asked, pointing to the garden with a smile, and said, "Along the way, I saw that the flowers in the garden were a little withered. Only the flowers in Miss Qin's garden were bright. Just like Miss Qin's appearance, it was probably Miss Qin's life that affected the lifespan of these flowers."

Qin Mengxiu shook his head sadly, "Miss Su doesn't have to comfort me. Mengxiu would rather die for himself than for the whole family."

"This is fate. Miss Qin must also know my past. The status of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the soviet union is not comparable to the status of the qin family in the Prime Minister's Mansion. But what about the distinguished families in the past hundred years? It just became a mystery in history overnight." Su Mianyue lowered his eyes slightly and hid the pain in his eyes. The eldest brother in his memory left forever, but his father and brother and Biwu were nowhere to be found, even though Su Mianyue had no clue how to find them.

After looking at Su Mianyue for a while, she quickly calmed down, as if the sadness that had been lingering around her was just an illusion. Qin Mengxiu asked, "Miss Su must have tracked down the real culprit. Don't you want revenge?"

"Revenge?" Su Mianyue said with a bitter smile, "I wanted revenge and created an opportunity for myself. But in the end, I found out that I could only kill the executioner and could not kill the real murderer. It's not only because this murderer is the benefactor who saved my father and brother's life, but also because it's normal for someone to be sacrificed under imperial power in the course of history. Perhaps I would have done the same."
