Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

"What do you plan to say to His Majesty?" the eldest brother asked, "You can tell me and I will go to see His Majesty."

"I will go to His Majesty to ask for an official position."

Li Huoyue knew that his mother had given instructions, but there was no other way at the moment.

Or wait for the emperor to train a new special inspector and then kill the entire Li family.

Or Li Huoyue can go and ask for this opportunity himself.

"Wow! Lao Liu! You want to be an official?! What kind of official?"

The third brother couldn't offer any constructive words when discussing how to rescue his father, but when an unrelated topic was mentioned, he suddenly became excited, "It seems that our Southern Country has never had a female official! Are you like Rourou? Be a doctor?"

Before Li Huoyue even went there, or even just said a word, the third brother had already started to pick for Li Huoyue. In his opinion, there seemed to be nothing that Li Huoyue wanted to do that he couldn't do, and he never questioned it.

Li Huoyue didn't reply, and the fourth brother spoke first: "But now, let alone becoming a doctor, even becoming a prime minister can't save father. Why did you suddenly think of this?"

The boss understood, but he didn't quite agree.

Since my mother said that Li Huoyue should not have any contact with His Majesty, there must be a reason.

"Why not let the fourth one go?" The eldest brother tapped the table with his fingertips, making a dull sound. "He... has a suitable personality."

The eldest brother still gave face to the third and fifth brothers and did not say that their brains were not suitable.

"What will he say when he goes there?" Li Huoyue had thought about it before, "What reason will he use to ask for it?"

The eldest brother frowned slightly. This was indeed a problem. None of the remaining guys had ever participated in the imperial examination.

The boss was talking to Li Huoyue, and the others were confused and didn't dare to interrupt.

The eldest brother didn't distrust Li Huoyue, but he thought it was too risky. "What about you? Isn't it the same? Your excuse can't be used by the fourth brother?"

Li Huoyue knows time travelers best, so she is the most suitable person to compete for this position.

But she couldn't say.

Although she didn't want to hide this from her family, she was afraid that the other people might not be able to hide it anymore.

Li Huoyue opened his mouth but said nothing and slumped back into his seat.

"Brother!" The fourth brother didn't know why the two men were discussing and included him in the discussion. "I don't want to be an official!"

The eldest brother glanced at the fourth brother and actually learned Li Huoyue's weird tone. "Okay, then our whole family can die together. That's good too. It's neat and tidy."

The third brother leaned back and looked at his twin brother. He exclaimed, "Fourth brother, are you so important now? You can decide everyone's life and death!"

The fourth one: “??????????”

Lao Wu: "Fourth brother, first of all, I don't want to die."

The fourth brother retorted expressionlessly: "Do I look like I'm willing?!"

Li Huoyue smiled, she was very lucky to have traveled through time to a family without any messy relatives.

She knew that no one would be in the mood to joke around at this critical moment. The reason they were talking nonsense now was because they could see that she was in a low mood. Even the usually serious boss took the lead in livening up the atmosphere.

Sometimes she wondered if she had stolen the warmth from the little Li Huoyue who had traveled through time.

This gentleness that gives people strength, right? It never belonged to her as a time traveler.

Li Huoyue lowered his head slightly, as if in deep thought, and said, "Before my father got into trouble, he secretly gave me a mission assigned by the emperor. The deadline is tomorrow night, so I'm asking for an official position, which is more reasonable than others."

The boss was silent, his knuckles tapping on the table replaced by his fingertips.

Finally he asked, "Huo Huo, is this true?"

Li Huoyue replied affirmatively: "Absolutely true."

This is not Li Huoyue's nonsense.

The boss stopped tapping the table and said, "Okay, I'll take you in."

"It's not safe." Li Huoyue said as he thought, "Now that you've been suspended and your father is in trouble, it's still unclear whether His Majesty will see you. If you fail once, His Majesty will be wary and suspicious, and things will be even more difficult to handle."

The third brother spoke at this time: "How about the prince? I'll go talk to the prince?"

This kid is on good terms with the prince?!

Li Huoyue looked at this playboy brother with new respect.

"That's not good either." The eldest brother was an official in the court, so his thinking was different from that of others. "The crown prince was also working in the court, and if Huo Huo was led by him, it would be easy for him to get involved in factional disputes."

"Does that mean we need to bring in a high-ranking idler?" The third brother carefully asked the eldest brother what he thought.

Li Huoyue and the boss nodded at the same time.

"Then the Prince of Liang?" The third elder thought about it and could only think of this person. The emperor would not refuse to meet him, nor would he be suspected of taking sides. "It's just that I don't know him very well..."

"No way." Li Huoyue refused without saying why.

The third brother sighed and slowly fell on the table like a withered flower, "Then I really have no choice~"

Things once again reached a stalemate.

After a while, the fourth child asked, "Why don't you use the prop card left by mother? Isn't there a guest prop card?"

"From the moment we enter the palace, we only have one hour." Li Huoyue immediately rejected this idea. "One hour is probably just enough for the journey."

"Ah——" The third brother once again let out a sigh that was typical of a playboy.

Li Huoyue thought that the third brother was making strange noises because of something important, and for the first time he did not say anything to him out of annoyance.

The boss's fingertips began tapping again. No one spoke, so the sound seemed particularly clear.

Lao Wu, who had been silent, suddenly thought of someone. He hesitated, and seeing that everyone else looked depressed, he chose to speak up and suggest, "Maybe, Mrs. Jin can do it?"

"Who?" Li Huoyue had never heard of this person.

Lao Wu took a deep breath and answered, "She is the emperor's wet nurse. She often comes to see Doctor Huo for treatment, but she only wants prescriptions. All the herbs are from the Imperial Hospital."

After discussing it again, they decided that it was feasible.

Li Huoyue suggested adjourning the meeting as she wanted to hurry to visit Mrs. Jin's residence.

"Aren't you going to Prince Liang's Mansion?" The third brother brought up the topic again.

"No, they can't save him. It would be a waste of time if I went." Li Huoyue estimated the result, but she was afraid that things might change or turn around, so she turned to the fourth brother and said, "Go and help me. Just watch, don't help."

The fourth brother nodded in agreement.

After the party ended, everyone dispersed again and returned to their respective courtyards.

Li Huoyue opened the prop box, took the guest prop card, rode on the chestnut horse in the night, left the Li Mansion again, and headed towards the vicinity of Ximen Baoxiang Temple.

Before leaving, she vaguely saw someone wandering stealthily at the gate of Li's mansion.

But she didn't have time to care about so many things. Anyway, that person couldn't just rush in and do anything to the people in the Li Mansion. After all, her mother and the fourth brother's confidants were not drawn on paper.
