Ji Yu said calmly: "Don't want to?"

The eldest princess of Pingyao didn't have any objections: "The Minister of the Ministry of War is still young. Isn't it a little early to retire and return home?"

"I'm not asking you to take up your actual duties." Ji Yucang said, "With the royal fan given to you by the late emperor, you can take a post at the Ministry of War and report to the Ministry of War every day to understand the daily work process of the officials of the Ministry of War. Responsible for real power.”

Princess Pingyao raised her lips and smiled: "Once I leave, I'm afraid there will be chaos in the court, and those courtiers will be eager to tear me to pieces and swallow me."

"Are you so easy to bully?"

"Of course not." Princess Pingyao sneered, "But why should I give up the good and wealthy life and go to the court to stir up trouble? Even if I really hold the real power, it is a thankless job. How can I wait for you every day? How happy is it to enjoy life in the Princess Mansion?"

Ji Yucang lightly tapped the armrest of the chair: "The Queen Mother has always wanted to listen to politics behind the curtain. If something happens to my king in two years, do you want to watch her take over the political power?"

The eldest princess of Pingyao said: "In two years' time, the emperor will be old enough to govern personally. Even if the emperor's uncle has an accident, it will not be the queen mother's turn to listen to the government behind the curtain."

"The emperor is the biological son of the Queen Mother. No matter who has the power, as they become more mature, the throne will become more and more stable. In less than five years, they will be able to completely rule the Yong Kingdom."

Princess Pingyao smiled lightly: "So what? Even if they secure the throne, they don't dare to touch me."

"Do you want the Queen Mother to enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth and die at a healthy age?"

The eldest princess of Pingyao fell silent. All her indifference just now was just a disguise. This sentence broke all her disguises.

Does the Queen Mother want to live a lifetime of glory and wealth?

dream.

"Okay. I agree." She nodded, "But the emperor can tell me why you want me to go to the Ministry of War?"

Yan Qingchen answered this question for her: "The Ministry of War is responsible for the payment and food transportation of the border officers during the war. Although the Ministry of Household Approval approves the money, there are also many Ministry of War officials who make money from it. Of course, the money is not enough. The calculation is too serious. If there is a villain scheming and tampering with the food and grass, it will affect the lives of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of border soldiers. It cannot be ignored. The regent wants to have a trustworthy person to supervise it in case something happens. Evil intentions arise in life.”

Now that the regent is in charge of both the dynasty and the military, the emperor and the queen mother are deeply wary of him, and what they most want to get rid of are his brave and skilled generals.

If there are villains in power in the court, it is not uncommon for soldiers to be plotted against.

Princess Pingyao has delicate eyes.

The regent obviously will not go to the battlefield now. The queen mother and her son regard him as a mortal enemy. The late emperor asked him to serve as regent. He now holds the power of the emperor and will not leave the capital easily.

Even if there is a war at the border, he will send out his trusted generals who are capable of fighting. With him in charge of the court, no one will dare to make a fuss about food and grass?

Unless you think the Nine Clans died too slowly.

But the biggest variable now is the body of the regent.

The eldest princess of Pingyao understood the intrigues in the power struggle and had no intention of continuing to ask questions. She nodded slowly: "Okay."

The matter was settled like this. Princess Pingyao did not stay any longer and quickly got up and left.

Yan Qingchen and Xie Tinglan looked at Ji Yucang and Shen Ning sitting in the main seats in silence, vaguely guessing something in their minds, and their expressions were a bit solemn.

Xie Tinglan frowned: "The little emperor will take charge next year, and the Lord's poison has not yet been found. Even if the Queen Mother and the Qin family are suppressed, what will happen?"

Shen Ning said calmly: "I have found a way to develop an antidote. In two months at most, his poison will be cured and he will not have to be controlled by the emperor."

What?

Yan Qingchen and Xie Tinglan stood up in shock: "Is the princess joking?"

Shen Ning looked at them without saying a word: "I never joke."

"This is simply impossible." Xie Tinglan obviously didn't believe it. "We have found no less than ten famous doctors in the past year, but they have been unable to do anything -"

Shen Ning frowned: "So you hope that your prince will never find a solution?"

Xie Tinglan choked and said, "Of course not."

But the reality is not that whatever he wishes for will come.

Shen Ning was just a girl from a boudoir. Before the age of fourteen, she hardly ever left the house. She had never studied medicine as a teacher, nor had she had the opportunity to come into contact with an expert from outside the world. How could she possibly find a way to detoxify?

Moreover, the poison in the Regent is not an ordinary poison.

Those famous doctors said that the antidote was complicated and difficult to prepare, and the medicine was even harder to find, unless a miracle doctor appeared.

But there are several miracle doctors in the world, but which ones are so easy to find?

"What the princess said is true." Ling Feng's calm and respectful voice came from outside the hall, "The prince was poisoned a few days ago, and it was the princess who temporarily detoxified the prince with a silver needle."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Qingchen and Xie Tinglan were surprised, and their eyes changed when they looked at Shen Ning.

The princess can actually detoxify?

If it weren't for Ling Feng who never lied, they wouldn't believe it at all.

But they still couldn't figure it out, where did the princess get such skills?

"My lord, is what the princess said true?" Xie Tinglan's eyes fell on Ji Yucang's face, "Can it really be solved?"

Ji Yucang did not answer this question because he had not yet decided whether to let Shen Ning detoxify him.

This issue can be discussed later.

"Your Majesty has been in poor health recently. Don't let him worry about political affairs." Ji Yucang's voice was cold, with a chilling air that was not easy to detect. "Uncle Qin is now in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. I will find an opportunity to impeach you." The Qin family will never recover."

"Yes." Yan Qingchen responded.

"The bandits in the suburbs have captured a few of them. Does the Lord want to interrogate them personally?"

"Send him to the Ministry of Punishment and order the jailers to torture him severely." Ji Yucang's voice was ruthless. "No one is allowed to slip through the net. If they can't find the mastermind, they will interrogate him 12 hours a day."

"yes."
