After the death escape, I became the white moonlight of the crazy tyrant

It was pure coincidence that Wen Hemian was able to find Cao Yang.

This guy hid himself too well, and he was someone who supported Xie Lang from the beginning, so no one would suspect him at all.

The system didn't provide anything except the original book's plot. Wen Hemian went through the plot, which he could recite by heart, and only then discovered this hint hidden in the corner.

Being backstabbed by someone close to you and suffering pain and torture seems to be a necessary part of every villain's life.

Most of the officials' networks are involved. Cao Yang's wife seems to be a good girl with no background, but in fact she is the illegitimate daughter of the Minister of Revenue. The two of them have been in contact privately for a long time, just waiting to give Xie Lang a heavy blow at the critical moment.

When he decided to pretend to be sick, Wen Hemian informed Xie Lang that he needed to find a suitable scapegoat.

This time they did the opposite and turned the knife on their own people.

The effect is very good.

When Cao Yang was caught and watched the most hidden things in his home being searched out, he was completely in disbelief and shouted loudly that it was unfair.

No matter whether he was innocent or not, Huo Ping was only responsible for arresting him and sending him to the Ministry of Justice, where someone would convict him.

There was still no news coming out of the palace, and none of the court officials knew what the Emperor was doing now. Apart from the noisy discussions, some people tried to pass memorials to the palace.

Thank God, His Majesty is finally willing to see people.

At the same time, Wen Hemian was also summoned into the palace.

Being able to endure quietly for two days was already the limit of Xie Lang's patience that she had expected. Facts proved that she really understood and her guess was right.

Wen Hemian adjusted his mentality and entered the palace calmly.

Entering the palace with her were close ministers who were concerned about the emperor's health. Everyone looked solemn and silent.

Xie Lang was not poisoned in the first place. When everyone entered the imperial study and saw that the emperor looked good, they immediately put their minds at ease. After looking at each other for a few times, someone tentatively asked, "I would like to ask, is your Majesty in good health?"

"Ah."

Xie Lang nodded lightly, with no emotion visible on his face, but when those ministers spoke at once, his eyes could not help but glance at Wen Hemian, who had been silent since he came in.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, Wen Hemian raised her eyes slightly and smiled at him, graceful and calm, without any sign of abnormality, just the same as usual.

Xie Lang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that even if the Grand Tutor had noticed something, he had no intention of staying away from him.

Does that mean he has a little more possibility?

The mood that was originally depressed due to uneasiness suddenly brightened, and even the eyes became sparkling, like a lovable puppy.

Wen Hemian paused slightly, then looked away uncomfortably to listen to the court officials' discussion.

"…The court officials colluded with foreign nations to murder Your Majesty, which is treason. They must be severely punished!"

"We respected them as envoys and treated them well, but they did this on our territory. We should make them give an explanation!"

"But there are many factions within the Barbarian Tribe, and there is more than one group coming this time. Should we detain them all?"

Of course they are angry about the betrayal of their own people, but they need to be more vigilant against foreign enemies. Aren't the barbarians doing this because they think their little Majesty is easy to bully?

Led by Ye Zhaoxuan, they all looked at Wen Hemian inquiringly, wanting to see what she had to say.

Wen Hemian put down the teacup in his hand and said, "We are a country of etiquette and we don't wrongly accuse people. Those who have committed crimes will be detained and dealt with according to the laws of Dazhao. The rest will be released, and then they will tell the Barbarian King to be prepared to make amends."

Xie Lang agreed: "Grandmaster is right. Dazhao is not afraid of the barbarians. If we cannot show enough sincerity, we should fight when necessary."

After some discussion, they worked out more detailed procedures before they all stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Wen Hemian also wanted to leave, Xie Lang spoke up in time: "Master, please stay."

No one thought there was anything strange about it. After all, the teacher and student often discussed things in private, which was beneficial to the country and the people, and everyone was happy to see it.

After everyone left and the door of the imperial study was closed, Xie Langfang said with a faint smile: "Master, is there anything you want to say to me?"

Wen Hemian raised his lips and smiled softly: "Yes, in addition to Cao Yang, Your Majesty can continue to place his own people in the Ministry of War, which is a good thing."

"Oh, and Alina, I've talked to her. I can't say for sure if she's sincere, but she's just a princess. It doesn't hurt to let her go and see."

The current trend is different from that in the original book. No matter what the reason, Alina was smart to get herself out at the last minute.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Wen Hemian hoped that what she said was true, as this might produce some unexpected effects.

"Well, it's up to the Master to decide on these matters."

Xie Lang listened quietly without expressing any opinion, as if he was obeying everything Wen Hemian said and he would not refute anything.

The surface is watertight.

Wen Hemian sighed softly, no wonder he couldn't see any clues.

There was silence between the two sides, and no one spoke.

Xie Lang's eyes moved and suddenly noticed Wen Hemian's fingertips, which were frozen white and gently tapped on the table, like a piece of temperatureless jade.

He stood up suddenly and walked around the table, his voice filled with reproach: "It's cold outside, why didn't you bring a hand warmer when you went out, Master? Lai Xi, go get the hand warmer from my palace!"

Xie Lang moved quickly, as if he had guessed that Wen Hemian would dodge, and he quickly grabbed one of her hands.

Seeing this, Lai Xi's eyes widened. Based on his years of survival experience, he judged that the situation was not right. He had been hiding aside and trying to reduce his presence, but when he was suddenly called, he quickly ran away: "Yes!"

Wen Hemian was unable to dodge, and he was really succeeded. His scalp was slightly numb. Before he could say anything, Xie Lang continued: "I vaguely remember that Taifu was playing in the snow and got a cold. It took a long time to recover. Have you forgotten the lesson now?"

There was a hint of teasing in the boy's low and hoarse voice, and his narrow eyes, which had opened wide, stared at her motionlessly, silently carrying a hint of intimacy.

Wen Hemian's hand was held by him, and suddenly he felt the boy's fingertips rubbing lightly on the back of his hand, followed by an increasingly tight grip.

"It's so cold. Lai Xi came to get the hand warmer. Why are you taking so long? Can I warm it up for the master first?"

Although it was a questioning tone, it carried a bit of the strength and decisiveness of an emperor.

Wen Hemian had no choice but to overturn all her previous ideas and realized that this brat was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.

The innocent and lovely child of the past has unknowingly become a wolf cub sharpening his claws and fangs, lurking in secret, waiting to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
