After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

But the quantity was small, there was only one bottle with only ten pills in it, not enough for a group of people to share, so he himself needed to keep a few as a backup.

But these cannot be told to Zhong Ning for the time being. After all, these people must first obtain Zhong Ning's consent before he can stay.

"I am overthinking it. Your Highness says whatever you say, that's what it is!"

"I have a way to save them, but they will have to serve me from now on... But don't worry, you are still their commander-in-chief. If I am not around in the future, you can still take over..."

Shen Yan took two steps forward, and his fingers quietly slid along. When he saw that Zhong Ning did not push him away, he became bolder and said, "Your Highness can take anything that this humble servant has..."

After saying that, his fingers went straight into Zhong Ning's palm, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

Zhong Ning rolled his eyes speechlessly and pushed the person away:

"Stop joking, let's talk business!"

"Go and tell them that I have something to say to them... I have a way to alleviate the poison in their bodies. All they need is to serve me and the court..."

"Your Highness, I will do whatever you say! But..." Shen Yan took two steps closer, half-holding the person in his arms with both hands, and whispered: "Your Highness, you have accepted them all, can you..."

"Shen Yan..."

Zhong Ning raised her eyes slightly and saw a hint of pleading in Shen Yan's slightly red eyes. She felt a little reluctant.

But then he thought about the fact that they were indeed cousins, and he couldn't get over it, so he turned his head and said:

"Remember what I said today. Once you've made an agreement with them, just let me know. I'm willing to attend the meeting alone to show my sincerity!"

Shen Yan smiled bitterly, waved his sleeves, and then saluted solemnly and said: "Yes..."

"Go ahead. I'll leave this matter to you. I believe you won't let me down!"

"Of course!" Shen Yan's tall body leaned down slightly for a moment, and he seemed a little depressed, but he forced a smile and bowed, saying, "I'll take my leave!"

"Um......"

Shen Yan left the bedroom with a lonely look on his face. When he saw Qi Yu still standing there, he was slightly stunned. He walked past with a slightly faster pace, and only turned back suddenly when he was about to pass the gate of Qionghua Garden.

The bedroom door opened only a tiny crack, and the Black Dragon Guard Qi Zhusi pushed his way in through the crack.

Shen Yan felt as if a pool of bitterness was boiling in his heart. He remembered that Zhong Ning had told him before that in addition to her husband Gu Mingzhe, she also had two lovers.

I think this Master Qi must be one of them.

As her cousin, he could only watch her life from afar.

Even though he knew that she might leave this world in the near future, he didn't even have the right to ask to keep her.

Never mind, it’s a blessing to be my cousin.

At least I can be closer to her.

But, I still feel unwilling to give in.

.......

In the bedroom.

Zhong Ning sat calmly at the table, looking at Qi Yu with cold eyes. In a sense, Qi Yu was the emperor's man.

How could the emperor's men understand her current mood!

Even though they were still very close to each other a few days ago, once subjective issues were involved, Zhong Ning rationally turned off his love brain, and the look he gave Qi Yu at this moment was as cold as water.

Qi Yu sighed inwardly. Even though he had already known her true identity through his internal skills, he still couldn't help but feel distressed when he faced her again.

Her unmade-up face was a little pale, her eyes were clear and emotionless, her figure was thin, and her jaw seemed a little sharper than before, which showed that she must not have eaten much in the past few days.

"Your Highness..." Qi Yu squatted down and just opened his mouth.

But Zhong Ning's voice turned slightly cold as she said bluntly, "Are you here to see me on behalf of my father? If so, you can go back now. I'm fine, and there's no need for my father to worry!"

Qi Yu was silent. He then pulled out an account book from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Ning. "This is the account book that the Imperial Guards confiscated from Fang Garden... It's now gathering dust in the Sansi Yamen. I stole it out on purpose. Your Highness, please take a look!"

"Eat dust?" Zhong Ning sneered. After all, the Sansi Yamen was his father's private yamen. It was supposed to be an office to plead for the people, but because of his father's unclear attitude, it went straight into action.

If Emperor Yong's attitude had not been unclear and he had not openly confined her to her residence, those people would not even dare to investigate.

Even though they knew that there were countless beautiful women and bones in this fragrant garden, it still did not change their original intention of not wanting to offend Prince An and the emperor.

Didn’t you see that she was put under house arrest by the emperor? If this matter is investigated further, I’m afraid their lives and property will be in danger.

Zhong Ning could understand their fear, but he could not accept such an outcome.

If one knows that something is wrong but still tries to cover it up just because the other party is in a higher position, then what is the point of establishing these government offices?

If these people are born to serve only the imperial power and ignore the people of the world in order to protect the interests of the upper class.

Is there any value in the existence of a court like this, which is rotten from the inside out?

Zhong Ning's hand trembled slightly as he held the account book, and then he opened it and looked carefully at the account flow. He didn't know until he saw it, and he was shocked.

This account book truly records how many ministers in the court had secretly visited her to seek pleasure!

At least half!

At least half of the ministers had wantonly played with the bodies and lives of those children in that so-called playground!

The thirty-seven corpses that withered in the garden were all related to these people!

But despite this, who cares?

After reading further, Zhong Ning was so angry that he laughed.

No wonder, no wonder the three government offices did not dare to openly investigate this matter. It turned out that someone among them was one of Fangyuan’s fans!

Minister of Justice Zhao Yingpu!

At the age of 61, he was still strong and vigorous, going to that kind of place to have fun. After knowing that the matter was exposed, he was so scared that he took sick leave and stayed at home.

He wanted to use his power to destroy some evidence at the Sansi Yamen, but he found that the imperial guards sent by Zhong Ning had been ordered by Zhong Ning in advance to take turns guarding the whole time, and the attitude of the palace was unclear, so he did not dare to approach the evidence easily.

These days I've been thinking about how to destroy the evidence at home. If I can't destroy it, I'll destroy the people who want to investigate this matter.

On Zhong Ning's side, seeing the ministers coming in and out of Fang Garden in the account books, and looking at Qi Yu half-kneeling in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a little angry:

"Master Qi, I'm very curious, do you men like to have fun outside?"

"Many of those ministers have wives and concubines, and children and grandchildren around them, but they still can't help but go out to seek excitement!"

“Even Gu Mingzhe…”

Zhong Ning couldn't help but close his eyes when he said this, his voice extremely sarcastic: "Am I obsessed, or is it that you men are born with this nature?"

"What about you? You like me now... but after a year, three years, or ten years, will you also go out and look for something new?"

Qi Yu watched Zhong Ning's emotions ferment bit by bit, and finally he could no longer bear it. He pressed him into his arms and comforted him bit by bit.

"No, Your Highness, I only have Your Highness. I will never go to those places..."
