I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li immediately knelt down respectfully, touched his forehead to the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, what I reported before was absolutely true, and I did not hide anything."

"I did know the Southern Barbarian Crown Prince Nan Li at that time, and I was lucky enough to survive because of his rescue."

"But when I left Nanman, Nanli was still the Crown Prince of Nanman, and the Crown Princess was not pregnant yet."

"Moreover, Nan Li and the Crown Princess have been married for several years but have not conceived. For this matter, the two of them once asked me if the Southern Dynasty has any good prescriptions to help women get pregnant."

"I have never heard of the relevant information, so I certainly can't give any advice. I still remember the disappointed look in their eyes!"

"I guess that after I left, the Crown Princess of Nanman became pregnant again and gave birth to Annan. Something must have happened after that, and Annan appeared in the Southern Dynasty, and Nanli became the former Crown Prince of Nanman."

"Your Majesty, please trust me!"

Emperor Yuan of Jin stared at Eunuch Li for a long time without saying a word.

Eunuch Li, who usually had a blank expression on his face, now had beads of sweat dripping down his forehead, and a rare look of panic on his face.

He is really unjust!

Who knows where this child came from, and how come he is the son of his savior?

And from what my sister said, Brother Nanli might have already...

Eunuch Li felt like crying but had no tears, and he also felt a hidden pain in his heart.

Alas... such a good person, I didn't expect that he would pass away so early...

I don't know what conspiracy is going on here...

In fact, it is no wonder that Emperor Yuan of Jin had doubts. He had just listened to Eunuch Li’s report on the Southern Barbarians, and then a Southern Barbarian prince appeared. How could he not have some associations?

After a moment, Emperor Jin Yuan looked away and slowly said, "I know you are loyal, but since it involves the Southern Barbarians, I have to take it seriously."

"Now the surrounding small countries seem to have surrendered, but in fact they are lying dormant. If the little official hadn't discovered Xuanyuan Zhen's affairs, I might have thought that the Southern Dynasty could rest easy."

"Now that I think about it, my idea was ridiculous! How could I lose my guard?"

"Okay, Li Fuquan, get up!"

"I believe you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Eunuch Li breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, His Majesty chose to believe him, otherwise he would have had to die to prove his innocence.

At this moment, in Minister Lin’s residence.

Minister Lin, who had finally enjoyed his day off, had no idea that Emperor Yuan of Jin had assigned him new work, and was currently playing chess with his father at home.

Sitting next to him was a woman in her sixties, who was Minister Lin's mother.

The three of them were playing chess and chatting in the pavilion.

"Zhi'er, you are not a child anymore. It's time to change your temper. Look at how many girls your mother has introduced to you over the years, and you always make them angry and leave as soon as you meet them."

"No girl is willing to marry into our family now. Your father and I are already very old, with one foot in the coffin, and we still don't have a grandson. I don't know how to explain to your grandparents when we go to the underworld!"

Minister Lin's mother tried her best to persuade Minister Lin.

Minister Lin would hear such words several times every day and had long since mastered the skill of letting them go in one ear and out the other. At this moment, he agreed verbally, but his thoughts were still on the chessboard.

"Okay, okay! Don't worry, mom! I will change my temper! I will find you a daughter-in-law soon! I will let you two have a big fat grandson soon!"

Yes, that’s right, Minister Lin, who has no friends, is still a bachelor at the age of nearly 40!

The reason was, just as his mother said, every time he went on a blind date, as soon as Minister Lin opened his mouth, the girl would be pissed off and run away.

For example, "Girl, you look like a tough weed in this green dress, with its base firmly rooted in the ground. No matter how strong the wind and rain are, it will not move!"

This made the girl burst into tears. She ran out the door crying, shouting, "Woo woo! You're going too far! You're calling me fat in a roundabout way. I'm not worth anything, right? Woo woo!"

Minister Lin: Actually, I really wanted to say that the girl is “tough”, even though she is a little chubby…

Another example is "Girl, the hairpin on your head is exactly the same as the one my mother is wearing today. It's really fate!"

The girl's face turned dark upon hearing this, and she left angrily after saying, "You think I dress too old, right? Then go find someone younger. I won't accompany you anymore."

Minister Lin: This... is really just to express that the hairpins are of the same style, although it makes one look a little older...

Therefore, Minister Lin's straightforwardness not only prevented him from making friends, but also cut him off from romantic relationships...

The poor old couple looked forward to having a fat grandson every day. They even dreamed of themselves holding their fat, white grandson and smiling from ear to ear.

But when he woke up, he found it was just a dream. He wanted to pick up a stick and beat up this unfilial son, Minister Lin!

Just as Minister Lin was dealing with his old mother, the housekeeper came running in, shouting, "Master, someone is coming from the palace!"

When Minister Lin heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately had a bad feeling.

I feel like my day off is in danger again. What's going on?

Then, Minister Lin saw a man in black with a mask on his face following the butler.

The person who came was An Si.

When Minister Lin saw the situation, he was surprised! Even the secret guards have been dispatched. This must be a big deal!

Alas, I finally got a day off, but it was ruined again!

Minister Lin stood up with awe and righteousness, and said to the secret guard who was walking in front of him, "Secret Guard, what are His Majesty's instructions?"

The old couple next to them also stood up, stood behind Minister Lin, and saluted respectfully towards the secret guards.

An Si nodded at the old couple in response.

Then, An Si turned his gaze to Minister Lin and said, "Minister Lin, your majesty has an urgent task that needs your help. Please go to the Dali Temple with me."

Minister Lin nodded resignedly, wondering whether His Majesty would present him with a "Model Worker Award" at the end of the year!

"Dad, Mom, I have official business to attend to, so I'll leave first. Please eat and drink well at home! I'll be back soon!"

Minister Lin's parents waved their hands at him with some disdain, "Go away! Stop embarrassing yourself..."

It's as if we old couple only know how to eat and drink all day long...

Minister Lin patted his butt and followed An Si into the Dali Temple, where special prisoners were held.

This place belongs to the secret prison inside the Dali Temple. Xuanyuan Zhen, who was previously imprisoned in the secret prison next to it.

At this moment, there were only two people in the cell, one was Anwu and the other was Annan.

On the way here, An Si had already briefly told Minister Lin about the situation.

Minister Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, as expected, where the little Fuguan is there is never a shortage of melons!

The Qin family just went out to donate some clothes, and they could let Xiao Fuguan get such a big piece of melon!

Minister Lin confidently assured the four and five secret guards: "My two secret guards, please rest assured. I will start the trial right away and will definitely be able to get something useful out of this kid!"

"Minister Lin, please come in!"

An Si looked at Minister Lin's confident look and reminded him of Emperor Yuan of Jin's request.

"Also, His Majesty has instructed that torture should not be used. Minister Lin, please be aware of this."

Minister Lin was about to get the torture instruments...

If you hadn't said it earlier, I would have used the eight hundred torture instruments from the Dali Temple, and then you wouldn't be afraid that this kid wouldn't talk.

Then you told me that I couldn't use torture instruments, so all my pretense just now was in vain...

Forget it, I can only see if I can motivate this kid with words...

Minister Lin walked into the prison with seemingly confident steps...
