Women dressed as men: powerful officials

The moment he left the palace and got on the carriage, Xu Yuan felt his hands trembling.

She slightly turned her eyes and looked at Bei Yao.

Beiyao was different from her, his eyes were exceptionally calm.

Chen Shan was not in a hurry to leave, but said, "Third Master, Cheng Xi just came over and said that at the morning court today, Prime Minister Qi handed in a memorial."

Beiyao came back to his senses a little, "What did you say?"

"Mr. Shen has been investigating the Xu family case for half a year. Most of the civil and military officials in the court have been replaced. It's time to stop."

"The emperor hasn't said anything about this matter yet, but the civil and military officials have agreed one after another. Starting tomorrow, Mr. Shen will not have to go to the Dali Temple. As for other official positions, the emperor seems to have not decided yet."

Chen Shan relayed Cheng Xi's words and said, "Third Master, Prime Minister Qi's behavior is a little too strange."

"There are quite a few ministers who have been demoted because of the Xu family incident. Everyone is afraid that they will be the next one. Qi Chengen proposed to end the investigation of the Xu family case, and naturally everyone responded. As for Qi Chengen..."

Before Xuyuan finished speaking, he looked at Beiyao and asked, "What do you think?"

"I think he was not out of it, otherwise he wouldn't have brought it up on his own initiative. It's just that he hid it so well that Shen Yichuan didn't find out."

The only people who stayed in the hall that day were Xu Yuan, Shen Yichuan, Shen Yiji, the Queen Mother, and the Emperor.

Beiyao didn't know about the past. It could even be said that he knew less than Shen Yichuan.

But this did not prevent him from suspecting Qi Chengen.

He had already started to have doubts when Song Tiancheng got into trouble.

Moreover, up to now, his people still have not found the siblings Song Xiuwen and Song Xiuyue. But Qi Chengen is the prime minister, and his mansion cannot be searched at will.

"I also suspect it was him, but again, there is no evidence. Now that he has proposed ending the investigation into the Xu family case, it may be difficult to bring it up again in the future."

"What's so difficult about this?" Bei Yao disagreed. "At most, I can let the emperor go for a few days. After solving this matter, I can just give up."

Xuyuan lifted it up in one breath and almost didn't come down.

She looked at Beiyao and said slowly: "Beiyao, you can't be so willful."

Being an emperor is even more so.

Xu Yuan had been holding this matter in her heart for a long time, but Bei Yao didn't mention it and it was inconvenient for her to ask.

But in her heart, she already had the answer.

If Bei Yao must become the emperor, then she will divorce Bei Yao, leave the capital and wander around the world.

She didn't want to be trapped in the harem and waste her life, nor did she want to see Beiyao's emperor and his subjects become alienated because of her.

In short, she has made her choice and she has no regrets.

"But if I can help you let go of the past, I am willing to do so."

Bei Yao held Xu Yuan's hand and gently traced the marks on Xu Yuan's finger joints: "After we get married, you and I are one. Your hatred is my hatred, and your knot is also my knot. I can't find a murderer for you without any reason, but the person who should confess his crime and be executed should not be called the head of the court."

Tianqi cannot let loyal ministers be wronged.

"Make a wish. When this matter is settled, we will go traveling around the mountains and rivers, climbing mountains, sailing on the lakes, and going to the sea. All are possible."

"Now is also okay."

"Not now." Bei Yao looked into Xu Yuan's eyes. "I know you can't let go, and I know you're worried about your parents. In this situation, even if we leave the capital, you won't feel at ease. I want a happy Xu Yuan, not one that still carries a blood feud."

I didn't know how to start the conversation.

In his previous life, no one had ever said this to him.

In this life, everyone kept it a secret from her, hoping that she would not know about the injustice done to the Xu family.

But no one knows that the sufferings that never happened to her affected her two lives.

From the moment she opened her eyes in Chengjiaxiang, she vowed to take revenge.

Even though no one told her that she should do this, she still reminded herself countless times that she must take revenge.

Now, Beiyao told her seriously not to bear these blood feuds.

A sour feeling spread from the bottom of my eyes and slowly blurred my vision.

Xu Yuan didn't want Bei Yao to see her crying, so she turned her head away immediately, but her trembling shoulders still betrayed her emotions.

Beiyao saw it and felt pain in his heart.

He really wanted to hold Xuyuan in his arms and take in all of Xuyuan’s grievances and unhappiness.

But he can't.

Although he and Xu Yuan were engaged, they did not get married.

It was inappropriate to ride together, and he couldn't ignore Xuyuan's reputation.

Xu Yuan did not cry for long. The moment she turned around, she used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. When she looked back, she was smiling again.

"I believe you. I really can't let go, otherwise I wouldn't have come back. However, the matter of the Qi family still needs to be discussed slowly."

Things will come to fruition if you take your time. There is no rush to make a wish.

She has endured it for so long, and just a moment's pain won't matter.

After figuring this out, Xu Yuan felt that the troubles he had been having in recent days suddenly disappeared.

Bei Yao said: "The prince is ill, and there have been many changes in the court recently because of the Xu family incident. Master Shen also intends to resign. I am afraid I will have to stay in the palace for the next few days."

Beiyao said, but his eyes were looking at Xuyuan, "So, can the wedding date be set today?"

Beiyao said a long string of words just to say the last sentence.

He wants to make a wish knowing that he is very busy.

So naturally, the closer the wedding date is, the better.

Xu Yuan glanced at Bei Yao and said, "You are a prince, and Feng Chang will prepare the wedding date. What can I say?"

In this matter, Xuyuan knew that he had no ability to speak.

Bei Yao is a prince, and the royal family's regulations are complicated and cumbersome. From small things like candies and snacks to big things like wedding dates and wedding dresses, there will be someone specially prepared for them.

She couldn't help.

"My marriage is naturally decided by me, and my affairs can only be decided by you."

After Bei Yao finished speaking, seeing that Xu Yuan was still smiling and didn't seem ready to speak, he said, "Since you don't have any ideas, how about setting it for the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month?"

Beiyao had already thought of a date, so Xuyuan naturally had no reason to refute it, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay."

The light in Bei Yao's eyes dimmed, and he turned his head slightly to look out the car window.

Even though Xu Yuan didn't understand, he now understood that Bei Yao seemed a little disappointed.

She hooked Beiyao's hand and asked, "What's wrong? You don't want to talk? Didn't I say it all? If you want, we can do it tomorrow."

"Not tomorrow." Bei Yao shook his head.

Although he wanted to, and couldn't wait to tell everyone that this was his wife, being in such a hurry made people feel that he didn't take the wish seriously.

In order to get married as soon as possible, and to let everyone know that he took wishing seriously, he stayed up all night to think of a date just to make a wish.

The only wish I made was a simple "yes".

Beiyao felt a little blocked in his heart when he thought of it, and his eyes became resentful when he looked at Xuyuan.

Xu Yuan didn't know what was going on for a moment, so he could only remember to ask, "What's wrong? How can I know if you don't tell me? If I did something wrong, you have to tell me."
