Chapter 80 Flattered
Seeing this, Lin Mu took two steps back without saying a word.
Yan Yu had obviously made up his mind.
"Husbands and wives should be equal, how could this arouse public outrage?"
"When my father was alive, didn't he advocate equality between men and women? But many people are too conservative, so it has never spread throughout the country."
"I don't believe every marriage is happy. Everyone should have the right to choose. An unhappy marriage will cause many tragedies."
"The word 'divorce' is too unfair to women, which means that even if a woman is able to obtain a divorce, she will still feel ashamed and unable to hold her head up."
"Just like you, you are too concerned about your second marriage, and you are afraid of becoming a laughing stock."
"Whether it's for you or for the people of the world, I must move forward courageously."
"The mission of the Son of Heaven is to benefit all people, and this is how it should be."
Ning Yunxi used all her strength to stop him.
"The late emperor only meant that the crown prince and the crown princess were equal. He issued this decree for you who were not yet born. How can you lose sight of the main point and distort the facts?"
"Even if you want to abolish divorce, you should do it step by step, step by step. You really can't rush it."
"If I lose the support of the people because of this... I cannot bear such a heavy responsibility."
Yan Yu didn't care.
"I think this is a good thing and it won't cause outrage."
"Even if I really lose the support of the people, I will still give it a try. I won't marry you, just to make you stand tall and not be discouraged."
In this life, Ning Yunxi finally got used to her suspicious brother.
Now, suddenly seeing his considerate manner again, she felt as if she had returned to her previous life. For a moment, she was still a little dazed.
Fortunately, my brother did not doubt the secret room plan.
But the fact that their sworn brotherhood turned into marriage was so unexpected that she didn't know how to deal with it.
So in his previous life, his concern for her was out of love between a man and a woman?
Seeing that she remained silent, Yan Yu turned and asked Lin Mu.
"Lin Mu, what do you think?"
Lin Mu looked embarrassed and was very reluctant to answer this question. He buried his head, afraid that Yan Yu would notice.
"I dare not speak nonsense."
Yan Yu had no patience with him and urged him directly.
"Just say it."
In Lin Mu's opinion, both of them are the masters and neither of them can be offended, so he can only feel helpless in this dilemma.
"Your Highness's love for the people is beyond reproach; Miss Ning San's words of advice are also reasonable."
"I think both are good."
Yan Yu complained and commented: "It's the same as if I didn't say anything."
Lin Mu bent even lower.
"I am really stupid, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
After he finished speaking, Gao Jing came back, bowed to Yan Yu and Ning Yunxi first, and then looked at Lin Mu.
"What's your excuse?"
Yan Yu pointed to the imperial edict on the table.
"You go to the governor's office to announce the imperial decree. After they discuss and perfect the will among themselves, notify my brother the emperor and announce it to the world."
"Also, appoint the governor and chancellor to go out."
Gao Jing responded and took the imperial edict with both hands.
"Yes."
"But there are ten governors in each prefecture. I wonder which governor you are referring to?"
"Or should I say all the governors and chancellors of the provinces?"
Yan Yu gave a look and asked back.
"Which governor or chancellor are you talking about?"
Gao Jing was unable to react.
Lin Mu quickly thought of a statement that would serve as a reminder without giving anyone a chance to talk about him.
"The epidemic in Nanluo County is due to the improper management of the county magistrate. Isn't Lord Ning, the governor of the state, very good at calming the people and giving advice to the county magistrate? Let the governor send him there."
Gao Jing suddenly understood.
"Oh, it's him."
"Then why can't you just say it?"
Lin Mu couldn't tell the answer and could only smile bitterly.
"Your Majesty has ordered that there is no time to lose. Go now."
Gao Jing was in a dilemma and didn't move.
"When will I report the assassination attempt on Tongshitai?"
Yan Yu responded.
"Now, speak up."
Gao Jing responded and told the story.
"The fourth young lady of the Ningguo Mansion used some unspeakable means to deceive Lord Xu, the Minister of Copper Affairs, and instigated the assassination."
"Then he deceived the Minister of the Central Guard Wu Qi and withdrew the guards from Emperor Jin's palace in order to attack the weak point."
"To the outside world, Tongshitai was cautious and protected itself, and put all the blame on Fourth Miss Ning."
Yan Yu smiled coldly.
The investigation results were as expected.
The people at the palace were omnipresent and would never miss any opportunity for anonymous assassination.
"What's going on with Wu Qi?"
"He turned traitor?"
Gao Jing took the opportunity to flatter.
"Your Majesty is wise and intelligent, no one can match him."
"Master Xie, the Secretary of Yin, accidentally discovered that Wu Qi was actually the informant arranged by Zhong Shuyi at the Supervisory Office when he was investigating the remaining affairs of Zhong Shuyi."
"Fortunately, thanks to Lord Xie's reminder, Guard Chief Xiao was able to immediately discover the unusual evacuation of the guards and quickly send people to support them. Otherwise, my father would have been seriously injured and might have..."
As he spoke, he had already bowed deeply to Ning Yunxi.
"I thank the Third Miss for saving my father!"
Ning Yunxi was frightened and knelt down politely, asking in panic.
"What does this mean, Master Gao?"
"I just took refuge in Prince Dijin's palace. I never saved the governor."
What happened to him?
Calling yourself a subordinate?
Give her a big gift?
After the incident at Cisha Mountain, he clearly no longer trusted anyone.
Just now in the secret room, he had wrongly accused her for no reason, making sarcastic remarks in both overt and covert ways, without hiding his disgust at all.
Why did you suddenly change your attitude now?
Gao Jing then explained.
"Reporting to the young lady, it was Lord Xie's words of reminder that made me suddenly understand."
"He said that if the girl hadn't given him a good prescription and saved Madam Xie, he wouldn't have surrendered, and there wouldn't have been any rescue efforts today."
"So I have to thank you and repay the lady's kindness."
"Please stand up, young lady. I dare not accept such a great gift!"
Ning Yunxi was at a loss for a moment, and stood there in embarrassment, not moving.
Thank you, sir, how... Alas.
This Mr. Gao is even more bizarre. How did he get fooled by Mr. Xie?
Could this illusory grace of saving his father change his mind?
Just as she was thinking about it, she saw Gao Jing and Lin Mu exchange glances, and she suddenly understood.
It turned out that it was Lord Lin who reminded me.
"My brother also contributed to the cure of Old Madam Xie. It was not just my achievement. Thank you for your praise."
"I have nothing to do with resolving the crisis."
"You're welcome, Mr. Gao."
Gao Jing smiled back politely.
"Miss, you are too modest. I will obey your order."
Having said that, he turned and asked Yan Yu.
"Before Lord Xiao returned to the Supervisory Office, he left a message for me. May I ask Your Majesty, how should we deal with Wu Qi?"
Yan Yu reached out and helped Ning Yunxi up, and responded at the same time.
"The Supervisory Office should not be held responsible, as it would easily give people a chance to criticize you. Let's hand him over to my brother."
"He will never keep anyone that this king has used."
Gao Jing asked again.
"So regarding the assassination attempt, do I need to go to the Ningguo Mansion to ask for accountability?"
Yan Yu did not respond immediately, but turned to Ning Yunxi.
"I guess you still don't want to hurt your family?"
Ning Yunxi thought about it and nodded.
The eldest brother wanted to use her to get rid of the fourth sister, but she naturally would not succeed.
Yan Yu turned his head and looked at Gao Jing, and quickly made a decision.
"Don't worry about it."
"It's just that we should make a statement to the outside world. So let's punish Ning Jiewei by making her face the wall and reflect on her mistakes for a few days."
Gao Jing responded and left.
Ning Yunxi just felt flattered.
The brother in this life is more considerate and seems to be even better than the one in the first life.
But she used a trick on him.
She remembered that before her last rebirth, her brother from her previous life who was in the 22nd century appeared in the form of thoughts and discussed countermeasures with her.
"After several lifetimes, don't you understand? If you want to gain my trust, you must gradually push forward this matter, and there will inevitably be some deception. This is the last chance, just let it go, it's okay, I allow you to lie to me!"
Ning Yunxi turned her head and stared at Yu Yanyu, without saying a word, only thinking in her heart.
Bro, is this really okay?
