In danger, he traveled through time to save her, and the black-bellied prince doted on her

In recent days, there have been several heavy rains in Chang'an City. The branches of the trees were destroyed by the wind and rain, and the green tiles on the roofs were blown off layer by layer.

Mu Jinan even braved the heavy rain and searched for the jade pendant in Prince Rui's mansion in the dark of night, but he didn't find it and was always feeling uneasy.

The sky is clear today, and the scorching sun shines down, blessing the Xuanzheng Hall. Although it is time to attend court, His Majesty had fun with Concubine Shen in the harem last night and may not have gotten up yet.

The government affairs were still presided over by Prime Minister Lin, and Mu Jinan was promoted to Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

She had originally only wanted to join the Ministry of War or the Ministry of Treasury, but she was promoted to the fifth rank, concurrently serving as a deputy director of the Ministry of Revenue. Her official uniform had been changed from dark green to light crimson.

Mu Jinan discovered that Prince Rui Li Heng was not present during the court session. She was puzzled as Li Heng, who never missed the court, did not come today.

After the court officials left, she quickly approached Jiang Yanqing:

"Lord Jiang, have you met His Royal Highness Prince Rui in the past few days?"

Jiang Yanqing carefully pulled her sleeve, walked to the side, and seeing that there was no one around, he whispered:

"You have been on leave these days, and King Rui has been reprimanded by His Majesty."

Mu Jinan's eyes were filled with shock: "Rebuke, isn't he always favored by His Majesty?"

Jiang Yanqing leaned over and whispered in her ear:

"I heard that the gold mine in Kuazhou, East Jiangnan, was the location provided to Yuhe by His Royal Highness Prince Rui."

Mu Jinan seemed to be struck by lightning, a trace of fear flashed across his eyes, and he was suddenly shocked:

"Gold mines. Does he know about the gold mines in Kuazhou? Does he also know about the gold mines in Nanzhao?"

"If so, then he is a time traveler, but when I asked him, he said he didn't understand? He vowed to fight me to the death. Is he unwilling to admit it or does he really not understand?"

Mu Jinan thought to himself that Li Heng not only had a close relationship with Prince Ge Jiang, but also used gold mines in exchange for Yu He to let him return to Sheng Kingdom.

Mu Jinan continued to ask him: "Do you know who discovered that King Rui was colluding with foreign tribes?"

Jiang Yanqing said softly, "It was His Majesty the Prince of Liang. His Majesty was skeptical at first, but it was the eunuch Gao who reminded him that His Majesty rebuked the Prince of Rui."

"Prince Rui said that he was only returning to Shengguo and had to be used by Yuhe."

"It was originally a serious crime to demote him to a commoner, but Your Majesty took pity on him for the suffering he had endured for many years and only confined him to his home."

Mu Jinan felt in his heart that the crime of colluding with foreign races and selling out the country could be forgiven, and he could only blame the Emperor Ming for being old and confused. Jiang Yanqing was indignant.

Li Huaijin saw from afar that she was too close to Jiang Yanqing, so he walked over quickly.

"cough cough, cough"

Mu Jinan was listening attentively when he was frightened by the voice behind him and turned around quickly.

Jiang Yanqing looked respectful: "Your Highness Prince Liang"

Li Huaijin raised his chin, somewhat displeased:

"Jiang Yanqing, don't get so close to Mu Jinan in the future"

Jiang Yanqing is Li Huaijin's distant cousin, and he had been secretly helping him in the court before. The two have a very good relationship in private, but in order to avoid suspicion, they rarely talk to each other in public.

He seemed to understand, but not quite, so he asked him deliberately:

"Why?"

Li Huaijin pretended to be indifferent and said: "Go back and tell your cousin that I should arrange a marriage for you, and you will know why."

Jiang Yanqing deliberately put a hand on Mu Jinan's shoulder:

"If you agree to the marriage, I think Madam Mu is both talented and beautiful, which is very good."

Mu Jinan was surprised and turned to look at Jiang Yanqing. It was surprising that the usually serious Jiang Yanqing could be so humorous. Not to mention, this Jiang Yanqing was a weak scholar, cold and gentle.

Although he is a few years older than me, his face is completely like that of a younger brother. Mu Jinan is somewhat lustful.

But it's just a look and appreciation. Everyone likes to appreciate beautiful things.

A trace of coldness flashed across Li Huaijin's eyes, and he said angrily:

"Jiang Yanqing, put your hands down, are you asking for a beating?"

Mu Jinan relaxed and smiled at Jiang Yanqing.

Li Huaijin quickly stood in front of her, fearing that she would be seduced by Jiang Yanqing. One Nangong Yu was not enough, and with another Jiang Yanqing, he was afraid that he would go crazy, and he was afraid of everything:

"Do not laugh"

Mu Jinan chuckled, "Master Jiang, you have this side. Before, I thought you were so serious and rigid, but you can also make such a joke."

Li Huaijin stood between the two of them, and Jiang Yanqing deliberately came to Mu Jinan's side:

"Stereotyped? How am I stereotyped? Madam Mu, if you are free, I will treat you to a glass of wine."

Mu Jinan seemed to have discovered a new world. He felt that Jiang Yanqing was humorous and witty, so he said casually:

"Okay, let's go to Hu Yulou and listen to Su Zhiniang play a song of lovesickness, that would be great."

Jiang Yanqing suddenly said politely:

"I will obey your orders, my lady."

Li Huaijin was angry and chased Jiang Yanqing, wanting to attack him. Jiang Yanqing turned around and deliberately said:

"Huai Jin, if you don't make any progress, don't blame me for falling out with you. I also have a crush on Madam Mu."

Mu Jinan knew he was joking, but the contrast was too much for him to handle, and soon he disappeared from his sight.

Li Huaijin looked at Mu Jinan looking at Jiang Yanqing and said jealously:

“Everyone has left, but they are still watching and laughing”

"I am much more handsome than him, why don't you look at me?"

Mu Jinan glanced at him and said, "Your Highness Prince Liang, you are jealous of your own cousin."

"However, Jiang Yanqing is indeed quite pretty and talented, and he has become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue at such a young age."

Li Huaijin suddenly asked her: "How does Jiang Yanqing compare to your cousin?"

Mu Jinan said without any hesitation:

"Of course my cousin is better."

Li Huaijin pretended to be indifferent and asked tentatively:

"How does this king compare to your cousin?"

Mu Jinan looked at him in confusion:

"Since he is my cousin"

Li Huaijin looked a little disappointed and stood in front of her. He was obviously a bit more handsome than Nangong Yu. Did Mu Jinan have bad eyesight? Was she jealous that they had been together for ten years?

"Oh, then how can I be better than your cousin?"

Mu Jinan avoided him and said as he walked: "Everyone is different, why compare? Besides, you are different from my cousin, there is no need to compare."

Li Huaijin's eyes flashed with excitement. If they were in love, they would have married Mu Jinan when she reached the age of marriageable in Xuanzhou without any delay:

“How to be different”

Mu Jinan opened her mouth and closed it again, with a strange feeling in her heart. In her heart, Li Huaijin was different from others, unique, but she also had a vague sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him before:

“I can’t tell you.”

Then he turned to the main topic: "I heard that Li Heng was reprimanded. How did you find out that he colluded with Yu He to privately explore the Kuazhou gold mine?"

Li Huaijin looked around and saw no one, and whispered:

"My intelligence in the East Road of Jiangnan has intercepted a letter from Chang'an. It was written by Li Heng to the officials of Kuazhou when he was in Yuhe, mentioning the gold mine in Kuazhou."

"I was just guessing at first, but later the secret guards captured a soldier from Yuhe and a spy who had infiltrated my territory at the time. They provided clues and I was able to find out."

Mu Jinan's eyes turned slightly, and he asked doubtfully:

"You knew this matter was related to him before Li Heng came back?"

Li Huaijin said: "Yeah"

Mu Jinan frowned and said, "Why didn't you produce the evidence earlier?"

Li Huaijin sighed: "Originally, we had nothing to do with him, but he surrounded you with guards outside the city a few days ago and even dared to hurt you."

Mu Jinan was worried and didn't want Li Huaijin to get involved in the fight between him and Li Heng. He knew that Li Heng was the male protagonist of the original story and was not that easy to deal with. A trace of anger flashed across his eyes and he said angrily:

"You are trying to alert the enemy. You are confronting him openly. You know how risky it is. You don't want to die. Aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you?"

Li Huaijin snorted coldly and lowered his eyes:

"What is he afraid of? Let me watch others hurt you. Do you know how I feel?"

His eyes were filled with anger and sinisterness: "For you, even if I kill him and stain his blood on my brother, I will not show mercy."

Mu Jinan's eyes were filled with shock and coldness. His love for her had actually reached this level. His pupils seemed to have lost their color:

"Li Huaijin, you are really crazy. You have lost your sense of reason for a woman."

Li Huaijin's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice:

"If a man cannot protect the woman he loves, how can he be rational? That is not propriety, it is cowardice."

Mu Jinan guessed that if Li Heng really traveled through time and read the original text, then he would understand everyone. He is the villain, but he also has the aura of the protagonist.

Now Li Huaijin has impeached him and he has lost the jade pendant. If the jade pendant is found by Li Heng in the palace, he will hate Li Huaijin even more and want revenge.

That day, she found out about Li Heng, Ge Jiang and Ce'an. She knew how much hatred Li Heng had for others. He was not afraid of death at all. He wanted to drag everyone to death with him.

Mu Jinan was startled and felt a little headache. He said angrily:

"When you do these things in the future, can you please tell me and don't make the decision alone?"

Li Huaijin didn't understand what she was afraid of. He just wanted to protect Mu Jinan. If Li Heng wasn't the emperor's uncle, he would have killed him long ago:

"This is a matter for the imperial court. I am doing this for the sake of Shengguo."

Mu Jinan's unwarranted anger was even more fearful that he would get deeper and deeper into trouble:

"I don't need you to do anything for me, you understand?"

Li Huaijin began to feel doubtful. She was always moody and would get angry if he said a few words to her.
