Everyone knew the status of the Duke and his wife in the emperor's heart, so even though everyone was curious about what the couple was doing, no one dared to ask the emperor directly.

When asked about the emperor's servants, they all kept their mouths shut.

Most of the ministers actually hoped that the Duke and his wife would go out of the city more often, and that it would be best if Duke Xue never attended court.

Brother Hui had already noticed everyone's reactions just now.

In fact, he already knew what these ministers were discussing. Although he was young, it did not mean that he had no judgment at all.

Moreover, he had already arranged people to pay attention to the words and deeds of the ministers.

Of course, this move was not made out of the emperor's suspicion and vigilance.

The secret guards he arranged only paid attention to their reactions in public.

After those ministers retired from court and left the palace, they kept track of their actions outside, but Brother Hui did not let the secret guards lurk in people's homes to spy on them.

My mother said that we should respect people’s privacy.

Every day, there would be a special person in the secret guard who would write down the daily collected information on a memorial.

Brother Hui pretended not to know what the ministers complained about in private.

He allowed them to complain, but his main purpose was to do so.

Brother Hui wanted to control everyone's views on his mother and father. This was very important to Brother Hui, more important than preventing that minister from colluding with the royal family to do something bad.

When he was free, Huige saw a book of royal miscellanies in the secret room of the imperial study. There was one thing in it that made Huige feel uneasy, in other words, scared.

Once upon a time, there was an emperor who valued a minister very much. The emperor listened to everything the minister said. Later, other civil and military officials in the court had opinions, and one day they beheaded the minister without reporting to the emperor first.

Although the emperor was furious, he could not really do anything to the civil and military officials.

Are you going to offend all the civil and military officials for the sake of a favorite minister? The consequences can be imagined.

The person had been beheaded and was dead. Even if I was angry, I had to let the matter go.

Brother Hui watched this incident several times, and the more he watched it, the more scared he became.

Therefore, he had to pay close attention to the ministers' attitudes towards his father and mother. Once something went wrong, he could also find a way to prevent things from developing to an irreversible point.

He absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen. The civil and military officials were the pillars of the country, and his father and mother were the closest people to him. The kindness they had done for him could never be repaid in this lifetime.

Brother Hui was certain that as long as these civil and military officials were wholehearted in assisting him and were devoted to the country, then even if they could not tolerate his father and mother, his father and mother would never do anything to hurt them.

But on the other hand, they may not necessarily be kind and lenient towards their father and mother.

Brother Hui sat on the throne with a heavy heart, but he could not scold them directly, and was not allowed to talk about his father and mother in private.

"Cough cough." Old Man Tao noticed that Brother Hui looked abnormal and he immediately knew what was going on. He coughed softly to remind him not to lose his composure.

After receiving the hint from his great-grandfather, Brother Hui immediately adjusted his mindset: "My dear ministers, please stand up and sit down to discuss the matter."

Brother Hui thought that if he didn't want them to sit down, he should let them stand.

I don't know what they are thinking. As the emperor, I don't think there is anything wrong with my father and mother, so why should they worry about it?

Is this what they mean when they say, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuchs are? They are not eunuchs!

Is it because they are young? Do they think they are too innocent to think about things so far ahead?

&nbbsp; This matter really bothered him.

If the person who has prejudice against my father and mother is a corrupt official or a treacherous minister, it would be easy to deal with.

But, it’s none of them!

Sometimes when Brother Hui thinks about this question, he feels speechless. They are obviously a group of loyal and devoted subjects, so how can they still be confused?

Outside the capital, after Mu Yingbao and her friends had lunch, she said she wanted to go dig herbs.

As soon as Xue Wenyu heard this, he knew that she was impatient. What was she talking about digging herbs? It was obvious that she was bored because the other party didn't react or take any action, so she wanted to do something to create the opportunity that the other party needed.

I went to pick up wild duck eggs in the morning, and I got quite a lot, I actually picked up dozens of them. But because the area was open and it was hard to hide people, nothing happened. So, now she wants to dig herbs, maybe she wants to go into the woods. She has lost her patience on the second day? This is too unlike the wife's temper! Xue Wenyu followed Mu Yingbao and looked in the direction of the capital. She probably had the answer in her mind. She missed Brother Hui and was worried about him. She wanted to solve the problem as soon as possible and go back as soon as possible.

Xue Wenyu was not in a hurry to go back. In fact, he was more curious and wanted to see if the other party's patience was the same as his wife's.

If so, then they are nothing fancy, just leave it as it is!

It’s not that Xue Wenyu looked down on his opponent. In fact, he didn’t even consider the other party as an opponent, which was too much of a compliment to them.

Lin Chuan and a few others walked in the front, Mu Yingbao was in the middle, and Xue Wenyu followed behind her, looking at the brocade bags on her waist, the plum blossom tube on her calf, and the small crossbow hanging on her back.

The man who wanted to dig herbs had empty hands, and the hoe and bamboo basket were on him.

She was the one who chose the forest. She didn't just point at it randomly. Instead, she took off one of her shoes, threw it into the air, and then decided by looking at the direction the tip of the shoe was pointing.

I don't know if she did it on purpose, but the direction she threw the shoe almost hit him when it fell.

Really, it was thanks to his agility that he dodged quickly, which made Lin Chuan and the others very happy.

The people hiding in the woods over there saw them walking towards them, and logically they should be happy.

After all, only by coming here can we have a chance to get rid of the person.

However, they were so hungry that they didn't know why they couldn't get excited.

"I said, there are forests all around, why don't you go to the other side? Why do you have to come this way?"

"Could it be that they discovered me?"

"Don't be nervous. Didn't you see she brought a hoe and a bamboo basket? Maybe she's here to dig herbs. She's a doctor."

"Go to hell, there are no herbs on that hillside? Do we have to go into the woods to look for them?"

Seeing people getting closer and closer to them, everyone's palms were sweaty.

"Even if Xiang can complete the task assigned by the master, do you think Xiang can still return to the country alive?"

"You and I have no say over our own lives, so will the outcome make a big difference to us?"

"Don't be nervous. Didn't you see she brought a hoe and a bamboo basket? Maybe she's here to dig herbs. She's a doctor."

"Go to hell, there are no herbs on that hillside? Do we have to go into the woods to look for them?"

Seeing people getting closer and closer to them, everyone's palms were sweaty.

"Even if Xiang can complete the task assigned by the master, do you think Xiang can still return to the country alive?"

"You and I have no say over our own lives, so will the outcome make a big difference to us?"

"Stop complaining, quickly disperse and hide, wait until the opportunity is good and then take action, if you are not sure, just wait a little longer."

After a while of talking, everyone shut up...
