Nowadays, people who have nothing originally did not have the awareness of modern people to despise imperial power, but now they have such courage.

Qi Zhao looked determined.

However, the reason why he had such an idea was not just for revenge against his father.

More importantly, he realized how important power is.

Because the regent held great power, he could take the lives of others at will.

It would be great if it were him who held the powerful position.

He needs power and strength.

He not only wants to avenge his father, but also has the power of life and death, and can no longer be a lamb to be slaughtered.

Feng Xiao smiled lightly and hugged Qi Zhao's waist. In this ancient time, there really was no man more ambitious and courageous than Qi Zhao.

"Master, Miss Feng." The woman saw that the two of them were in good spirits at this time, so she walked over with the bundle in her arms and said cautiously, "My hometown is in the north, and I am old. I miss my hometown and I'm afraid I can't follow the young master to serve in the south."

Qi Zhao frowned, his face still a little ugly, "In a few days, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion left and dispersed. Aunt Li, there are not many people around me. You are the only old friend of the Prime Minister's office left."

Aunt Li sighed and said, "I'm sorry, Master. Besides, before I was in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I was just a janitor doing some menial work. I won't be useful even if I follow, so please allow me to go on my own." 

Qi Zhao let out a long sigh. Indeed, before this, he was only familiar with Aunt Li's face and recognized her as a servant in the mansion, but he didn't even know what she was doing there. 

He originally thought that he would be able to remember more after some time, but he still couldn't.

"Well, since Aunt Li has made up her mind, I can't force her to stay." Qi Zhao rubbed his brows and sighed, then thought of something else, and then said, "Is there any chance that you will be able to leave this place? Do you have money with you?"

Without waiting for Aunt Li to answer, Qi Zhao gently tugged on Feng Xiao's clothes, "After all, Aunt Li is an old friend of my prime minister's house. Do you think you can give her some money?"

Feng Xiao frowned. She was an old woman whom she had only met for a day and was not willing to follow Qi Zhao. But when she turned around and saw Qi Zhao's eyes, Feng Xiao nodded and touched her sleeves. She took out a silver ingot and said, "Well, of course."

The two of them thought that Aunt Li would refuse it before accepting it. Who would have thought that as soon as the silver ingot came out, Aunt Li's eyes lit up. 

She quickly stepped forward, held it with both hands and suddenly smiled, "Thank you, miss, thank you, sir, then I will be on my way!"

Not only did Feng Xiao's brows frown again, but even Qi Zhao's face couldn't help but sink.

But before they could say anything, Aunt Li had already retreated quickly.

After leaving the inn, the respectful look on Aunt Li's face was gone. Her footsteps were as light as if she was about to fly. She weighed the silver ingot in her hand, bit it with her teeth, and then smiled with satisfaction. 

She walked into a small alley next to the inn and opened the bundle in her arms, it was full of gold and silver inside.

Aunt Li turned around and glanced in the direction behind her, threw the silver ingot in her hand with a snap, and chuckled, "I really thought I couldn't escape!" 

The Prime Minister was killed, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was about to be sealed, she saw that the situation was not good, so she took great risks to collect these things, hid them, and slipped out of the Prime Minister's Mansion before it was completely sealed.

Yesterday, she finally felt that she could sneak back and take it out. Who would have thought that she would be so unlucky to meet the young master when he came back? Fortunately, now that she has successfully escaped, she will have a good life in the rest of her life.

"Your Highness the Regent." 

A secret guard suddenly fell into the darkness not far from Yin You, holding a book in his hand.

"Yes."

Yin You subconsciously glanced at the palace behind him. The little emperor had just fallen asleep. He was a little unable to control himself, but thinking of the misery of the young boy, he struggled to endure it.

The cold wind has been blowing for a long time since he came out, and he has suppressed it.

"This is the disposal list of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Please take a look at it, His Highness the Regent." The secret guard lifted the folder in his hand.

Yin You took it, turned it over quickly, and asked directly, "Is there anyone left behind?"

The secret guard's face froze, "Go back to the Regent, according to your wishes, Prime Minister was executed, and slave registration was sent for everyone else, but the prime minister's son, Qi Zhao, was not found. There was also the original slave registration, Li family. Other than that, everything has been cleared."

Yin You's fingers gently tapped on the the list for a long time, and then he said, "It's not important."

In fact, it was enough for him that the prime minister had died. He didn't take other cats and dogs seriously.

Seeing his expression, the secret guard muttered, "His Royal Highness has been kind enough. If the root of the problem cannot be eradicated..." What outsiders didn't know, but as a trusted secret guard, he knew that the reason why the regent refused to keep the Prime Minister was not just because he was against him.

It was this person who took the lead in murdering the regent.

"He was nothing. Even if he is spared his life, he will not be able to make any waves." Yin You said.

"Yes. By the way, Your Highness the Regent, what about the poison in your body?" The secret guard hesitated to speak.

Yin You's face darkened, "I'm afraid he didn't expect that I have been immune to all poisons for a long time. He can't kill me with a despicable method like poisoning." 

Yin You sneered mockingly. They are saying that he harmed the country and the people and that he monopolized power. All the civil and military officials were dissatisfied with him, just because he, as the regent, threatened the power of these dignitaries, making them live in fear and discomfort.

Ordinary people can only care about good weather and good harvests, but who really cares about who is in charge of the government?

It's just that they called him a treacherous minister.

As a treacherous minister, the real threat from beginning to end was the courtiers who were also unable to let go of their power.

The emperor was a fool, no matter what happened, the civil and military officials in the court wanted to share the piece of meat, but because he had too much, they just wanted to tear him off.

After all, who is nobler than whom?

Ridiculous.

Maybe, without him, a treacherous minister who monopolizes power, holding the imperial power in his hands, and the young emperor being a fool, the court and the world would probably be even worse than it is now.

He is a traitor. He likes to be a traitor. He just likes to see the pitiful look of those civil and military officials hating him and being afraid of him but unable to kill him. Heh. 

The secret guard lowered his head. He learned another secret today. The regent is immune to all poisons.

For someone like him who knows too many secrets, he must not have the slightest bit of second-guessing, otherwise he will also be dead.

In the Emperor's Palace, the shadow of the candle flickered.

In fact, Jiang Jamian did not sleep too much. He noticed it as soon as Yin You got up and went out.

But he didn't open his eyes.

I was still thinking about how to interfere with the plot.

The Prime Minister is dead, and the male protagonist has been offended. This is no different from the previous world. It is useless for him to simply tie Yin You's feet.

But he is a fool.

Except for Yin You, he can't interfere with anything else.

Five years, he had just five years to change everything.

The heroine's killer organization will be established and grow, and Qi Zhao will become the local king in Lingnan.

The best way to save Yin You is to stop Qi Zhao's development momentum.

But now he can't say anything and can't interfere with anything. Even if he kindly reminds Yin You to be careful about the male and female protagonists, he will be suspected by Yin You himself and be killed.

In this matter, he had to find a way to have the ability to intervene in the plot openly, or in other words, get down to business.

But Yin You… This level is not easy to pass.

If he wanted to save Yin You with good intentions, but Yin You mistakenly thought that he was waiting for an opportunity to regain power, he didn't know whether the mission target could be rescued. Anyway, he himself would probably be tricked by him.

"Well, after all, the key point is still this dog."

The system was stunned, "Who is the dog?"

Jiang Jamian pretended to be annoyed, "Look, I have a bad memory, I forgot it is a person, not an animal." 

System: "..."

Jiang Jamian sighed, "First of all, I have to be a fool, and secondly, he has to be willing to give me power."

The system said speechlessly, "He is not stupid." How could it be possible to return the power that was finally obtained to Jiang Jamian, a fool emperor?

Jiang Jamian raised his eyebrows, "You don't understand. There is a saying that love makes people blind. As long as I am coquettish enough, he can be stupid enough."

System: "..." It is afraid the host is the only one who has such a wise saying. 

"He's back!"

The system suddenly reminded him.

Jiang Jamian quickly closed his eyes, and his breathing became even.

The next moment, the palace door opened.

The sound of boots hitting the ground was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Yin You seemed to be approaching.

Jiang Jamian was about to guess whether he would be 'haunted' again when he noticed that Yin You had lay down on the bed.

But he didn't approach him. Instead, he lay down on the outside with his clothes on, and then there was no movement.

Jiang Jamian: "..." The dog man has changed his gender?

He thought that Yin You might have to come a few more times to scare him completely, and then use this to stay in Emperor Palace for a long time.

While Jiang Jamian was thinking about it, he felt an arm suddenly placed on his waist, pressing heavily on him.

Jiang Jamian sneered secretly.

It came, and what was supposed to come was coming, how it was possible for Yin You to change his gender.

But soon, he was slapped in the face.

Yin You put his arm on his waist and made no other movements.

A long time passed.

It wasn't until Jiang Jamian was really about to fall asleep that he felt that Yin You was not satisfied with just putting an arm around him. He stretched out his hand and gently hugged Jiang Jamian's shoulders, and very carefully moved him into his arms.

Then he gently placed his chin on Jiang Jamian's head and closed his eyes.

Jiang Jamian: "..."

What the hell is this man doing? He actually wants to hold him to sleep. 

Hey, it's unbelievable.
