The Regent's Little Wife

Someone had already informed Shen Yan of what happened today, especially the ancient Chinese poem he wrote, which had already spread throughout Si Dynasty. The original manuscript written by Sang Ning was also brought to Shen Yan.

Sang Ning... I didn't expect you to be so talented, but have you forgotten this saying? The more outstanding you are, the more dangerous you are. You have basically handed over your trump card, right? Now that you have revealed your trump card, do you think you can still leave?

"Royal Concubine...when she comes back, ask her to accompany me for dinner in the evening," Shen Yan ordered.

Although Sang Ning did not do any work that day, she was exhausted. She was questioned by the people in the Imperial College. There was also a man named Li Yuanfang, and she had a headache when she heard them. It seemed that Li Yuanfang's people were forcing her to go to the Dali Temple. If he was buying and selling official positions, he did not tell her at the scene today. Did he wait until she entered the Dali Temple before asking her for money? But if he did that, he should understand who I am? Do I have any money? If I am a poor person, where can I go to give him the money?

At this time, she had just returned to Jingxin Garden when a servant reported to His Majesty, inviting her to come over for dinner. He packed up helplessly and quickly came to the Glass Palace. It was just in time for dinner.

Sang Ning looked at Shen Yan and saw that he was still the same.

Although it was dinner, the menu was very complete, with nine dishes and one soup. Most of the dishes were vegetarian, with only two meat dishes, one being winter melon and pork ribs soup. It seemed that this chef was quite good at keeping healthy.

Shen Yan personally poured a bowl of winter melon and pork ribs soup for Sang Ning.

"You've worked hard today. Eat something nutritious. How do you feel about going to the Imperial College today?"

"That's it. I guess Your Majesty already knows what happened today, right? Your Majesty, why ask again?"

Shengyan lowered his brows and said unhappily, "Those people reported it, but I want to hear what you have to say."

Sang Ning reluctantly recounted today's events in a simple and clear manner. His ability to express himself was still very strong, but when it came to Li Yuanfang, he hesitated. But he had to mention this person. In order to see if Li Yuanfang was buying and selling official positions, he did not tell Shen Yan about what Li Yuanfang said to him. He just said that he was quite interested in Li Yuanfang's talent, and the two of them just talked about the ancient Chinese texts they had written before.

Shen Yan didn't hesitate at all after hearing this.

next day

Sang Ning continued to work at the Imperial College, and Shen Yan was still busy every day. At this time, he brought a memorial from the Dali Temple, which was newly brought today. Shen Yan opened the memorial and looked at it, feeling angry and amused.

Shen Yan saw that it was written by Li Quanshui, the Dali Qing. The content of the memorial was to impeach a fifth-rank official of the Imperial College, whose name was Sang Ning. The general content of the memorial was that Sang Ning secretly approached the Grand Secretary Li Yuanfang, trying to bribe Li Yuanfang to enter the Dali Temple as the Dali Temple Secretary. The official was not ambitious and had a corrupt character. It was suggested that he be removed from the position of the Imperial College's Dean to find out who was behind him.

Wanting to enter the Dali Temple, Shen Yan thought that this was not like Sang Ning's character. Sang Ning was someone close to him. If she wanted an official position, wouldn't it be up to her to say something? Even the position of the first-rank official in the current dynasty was just a matter of her saying something. But with her character, she had no interest in official positions at all.

Although she had not been with Sang Ning for a long time, she found that Sang Ning only loved money. She shouldn't be like this about official positions. Even before, she was not interested in these things at all. What was going on? How could Sang Ning be involved in this matter?

Could Sang Ning ask for help from Grand Secretary Li Yuanfang for a small fifth-rank official? But Li Yuanfang did have this privilege. When the secret guard reported yesterday, the two of them did stay together for a long time. Because the secret guard could not get close, they could only watch from a distance, and the content of the conversation could not be known by the secret guard. But Sang Ning could not trust someone he just met for the first time, and how did Sang Ning know that Li Yuanfang would have such real power?

Shen Yan read several memorials in a row, one of which was sent by a spy from the East Factory, saying that Li Yuanfang and Sang Ning were indeed plotting something. It seemed that it was related to the official position of the Dali Temple.

Shen Yan didn't know what to do for a moment. If it was a memorial written by the Dali Temple Minister, he would not believe it, but he absolutely believed the spy sent by the East Factory. The people in the East Factory were all his confidants. The people in the East Factory kept an eye on these ministers all day to see if they had any ill intentions.

Shen Yan felt that his brain was not enough. What was going on? Why was Sang Ning involved in this matter? Shen Yan hated the act of buying and selling official positions. If he found a reason, it would be a crime to exterminate the whole family. Did Sang Ning buy and sell official positions for others in order to get more money?

Sang Ning, Sang Ning... I hope it's not you. If you really dare to do this, I can't protect you. This is my bottom line and no one can touch it.

Shen Yan ordered the people from the East Factory to keep an eye on Sang Ning and Li Yuanfang to see what they were planning. He also ordered the people from the Dark Chamber to follow the two people. If the two really planned this, the people from the Dark Chamber would take action directly. But Shen Yan didn't believe that Sang Ning would do this.

If it is really verified that Sang Ning did this, the first ones to suffer would be his father's family. However, the incident has already happened and we must investigate before making a judgment. However, we still cannot alert the other party in order to avoid alarming them.

During dinner, Shen Yan kept an eye on Sang Ning's every move and found nothing unusual. However, the people from the cabinet and the East Factory also reported to Shen Yan today. Sang Ning did not conspire with anyone today.

Day three.

Li Yuanfang then went to the Imperial College to look for Sang Ning again.

"Girl, what's going on? Have you thought it through? If you have, you can go directly to the Dali Temple to report tomorrow."

In fact, Sang Ning also wanted to go to the Dali Temple. He was very interested in it. She came to the Imperial College at the request of the emperor. If she wanted to go to the Dali Temple, she had to get Shen Yan's consent. However, he did not tell Shen Yan about this in the past few days because he did not know what purpose Li Yuanfang in front of him had.

But I didn't expect that he would find me again three days later. But Shen Yan must know about this. Even if I really want to go to the Dali Temple, I have to say hello to Shen Yan. It is disrespectful to Shen Yan to agree to it in such a busy manner.

"Lord Li... I know you are eager to recruit talented people, but I think we should just follow the procedures. This is not good for both you and me. If His Majesty knows about this, what will he do if he asks about it? How will you explain it to His Majesty?"

Sang Ning's considerations were absolutely correct. He was a very smart person. For example, if a relative of yours arranged a position for you in a large company, but you hadn't worked in the position for two days before being asked to work in another department by another person, you would definitely have to explain it to your relative, otherwise it would be a slap in the face of the relative. Moreover, this was still an ancient, feudal society.

That position was arranged by His Majesty, the supreme ruler of the country. Can you just say you don't want to do it? It's not up to you to decide. At this moment, Sang Ning regretted that he had agreed to this matter three days ago. This matter cannot be agreed to casually.
