Chapter 39 After Su Yingying picked up the letter that had been delivered via stone, the palace servants from Jianjia Palace had already informed Consort Xian about what had happened in the Imperial Garden. Consort Xian took a light sip of the rose dew tea sent up by her subordinates—a drink meant for beauty and skin care—and spoke with a smile.

Chapter 42 It was almost impossible to achieve a peaceful separation from someone of the royal family. At least since the founding of the Great Jing, You Yusui had never heard of anyone successfully separating peacefully from a member of the imperial family. However, You Yusui had heard of cases where women remarried after their husbands died. "If she is willing to become a blade in my hand aimed at the Third Prince," You Yusui said while reaching out to gently wipe away the sugar crumbs from the…

Chapter 43 You Fengyun's words successfully created a world where only the Crown Prince and the assembled ministers suffered, especially those old ministers who were advanced in years and frequently fell ill—they were already beginning to feel despair. Meanwhile, You Yusui, sitting to the side, couldn't help but sigh. No matter how many lifetimes he was reborn, he could never match his father emperor's ruthless cunning when it came to exploiting his ministers. Now, You Yusui had begun to suspect…

Chapter 44 Huo Xiling had thought that You Yusui had been besieged by the assembled ministers during court or scolded by His Majesty, which had worried him for quite some time. He never expected that it was the chair that had made him uncomfortable. "It's my fault. I didn't consider things thoroughly for Your Highness." Huo Xiling looked at the chair he had padded with cushions and white fox fur and said. Although the chair had been padded with these things, the backrest was still hard, so it…

Chapter 45 When Xie Yi was originally enfeoffed as the Marquis of Pingyang, according to his noble rank he was qualified to attend court.

Chapter 46 When You Yusui told Huo Xiling that he wanted these talents, his expression was both pitiful and delicate, even the crimson teardrop mole beneath his eyelid dimmed a few shades. "Whatever people Your Highness wishes to recruit is entirely up to Your Highness's pleasure," Huo Xiling said with a smile. After Huo Xiling came to his senses, he was no longer in a hurry to bring the talented poor scholars he had been helping out into the open. After all, the current emperor's intentions were…

Chapter 47 One of life's three great illusions was "I can do it too." So when Zhang Xuan, a scholar of humble origins who had been bribed by the Third Prince, saw that a middle-aged man who could play the suona was able to enter Juxian Pavilion, his heart gave rise to the thought that he could do just as well. After all, he was well-read, eloquent, a capable speaker, and had made quite a decent name for himself in literary circles. After the middle-aged man who played the suona went in, the others…

Chapter 48 The little eunuch's expression was somewhat flustered. He knew full well what the situation at Juxian Pavilion was like — there were hardly any scholars inside at all. The Crown Prince had recruited nothing but a ragtag assortment of people, and if His Majesty were to see it, he would likely punish the Crown Prince on the spot. You Yusui calmly handed the painted thrush from its birdcage to Jiang Yan at his side, then turned to the little eunuch and said, "What are you panicking…
