Pei Zhanzhou's words suddenly made Jiang Wansang tremble all over.

Every protagonist in a novel is destined to have a life story where his father does not love him and his mother does not care about him. Su Huanyu is a typical example.

Because his mother's family committed a crime and was executed, Su Huanyu was sent to the queen to be raised since he was a child and became the prince's follower.

After the incident that year, his biological mother, Wan Zhaoyi, locked herself in the palace, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures all day long, and never left the room again.

Even though she treated Su Huanyu well in the later period, it was only because she wanted to use him to sit on the throne of empress dowager.

The emperor was also angry with Su Huanyu because of what happened that year. He used to dote on him very much, but later he never had a good face towards him again.

These are all rumors from the outside world and are also recorded in books.

But the meaning of Pei Zhanzhou's words seemed to be completely different from the facts.

Seeing her expression slightly straighten, Pei Zhanzhou was silent for a moment and said, "In the struggle for imperial power, the more the person in the higher position values ​​a prince, the more crises that prince will face."

The emperor had kept his thoughts hidden for so many years. If Jiang Wansang hadn't reminded him, he probably would never have noticed it.

At this point, Jiang Wansang suddenly understood, "You mean, Su Huanyu isn't as unpopular as the rumors say. On the contrary, the emperor really likes him?"

Pei Zhanzhou didn't respond, but his expression clearly showed his agreement.

Jiang Wansang frowned.

Pei Zhanzhou could say it with such certainty, he must have done a thorough investigation, but Su Huanyu in the book was clearly a man who was neither loved by his father nor his mother, and the emperor's favor towards him was not mentioned at the very end.

Jiang Wansang had not read the complete version of the novel, but after she entered the original owner's body, the memory of the novel automatically entered her mind.

If you think about it carefully, whether it is Pei Zhanzhou's origin, his previous entanglement with Jiang Zihan, or the emperor's different attitude towards Su Huanyu, these are things that are not recorded in the book.

It seems that she needs to be more careful when dealing with Su Huanyu and Jiang Zihan.

Jiang Wansang reminded herself secretly in her heart, and when she looked up, she saw Pei Zhanzhou staring at her with deep eyes.

This guy has never really gotten rid of his doubts about himself.

Jiang Wan pretended not to notice and asked, "Master Imperial Master, are you just going to hand over the Imperial Guards like that?"

Although she was still unclear about Pei Zhanzhou's purpose in Nansu, she could see that this guy was definitely not loyal to the Nansu royal family.

He would never give up an army like the Royal Guards, which is responsible for protecting the safety of the royal family.

Pei Zhanzhou's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he understood her doubt.

From this point of view, this woman knows herself quite well.

"This is a deal between our national advisor and the emperor," Pei Zhanzhou said without hiding anything. "Hand over the Imperial Guards, and the position of chief examiner for next year's imperial examination will be given to our national advisor."

Jiang Wansang was puzzled.

The chief examiner of each imperial examination is the target of competition among various factions in the court, because this not only brings various benefits, but also allows them to form cliques for their own team and cultivate talents under their command.

But with that half account book, Pei Zhanzhou had no need to wade into the muddy water anymore. After all, the imperial examination was still a few months away, and it was unknown what conspiracies and tricks the various forces would use to compete for the position of chief examiner.

Pei Zhanzhou could see the confusion on her face and took the initiative to explain: "Do you think Chen Jing would agree to help identify the Seventh Prince without asking for anything?"

A weak scholar traveled thousands of miles to the imperial city to file a complaint with the emperor, carrying a letter written in blood and half an account book. His integrity and courage are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In order to make him lie and accuse someone, not only must there be evidence to prove that the person behind the scenes is indeed Su Huanyu, but there must also be sufficient benefits.

As smart as Jiang Wansang was, she had guessed this, "So you took the position of chief examiner just to make things easier for him?"

"Yes and no." Pei Zhanzhou turned his head and looked over, his dark eyes calm. "The factional disputes in the court of Nansu Kingdom have long affected more than just this court."

"All Chen Jing wants is fairness and justice in next year's imperial examination."

Jiang Wansang was stunned.

It seems that she looked at Chen Jing with a mean heart.

Then, Jiang Wansang looked at Pei Zhanzhou again.

She may have a petty opinion of Chen Jing, but her opinion of Pei Zhanzhou will definitely not be biased.

This guy had half of the account book in his hand, but he voluntarily lost the Royal Guards in exchange for the position of chief examiner. No matter how you look at it, he suffered a loss.

And Pei Zhanzhou is a person who will never suffer any loss.

Jiang Wansang was also straightforward. She started by asking, "Are you really taking on this role because of your promise to Chen Jing? Or have you truly given up on the entire Imperial Guard?"

This is not something Pei Zhanzhou would do.

Pei Zhanzhou certainly wouldn't do something so obviously disadvantageous. Facing Jiang Wansang's question, he didn't directly answer, "How chaotic do you think this national teacher can make the Southern Su court?"

Jiang Wansang's heart skipped a beat.

Is he... going to disrupt the court of Nansu Kingdom?

Jiang Wansang's expression straightened up a bit, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Pei Zhanzhou also changed a little.

Pei Zhanzhou in the book seems to be just a villain who simply opposes the protagonist, and his actions have no special purpose.

But now it seems that his purpose is to disrupt the entire South Su country.

Jiang Wansang looked at the person in front of him silently, and was hesitant to ask the question in his mind.

Pei Zhanzhou took the initiative to put the words in front of her. If she said there was no purpose in it, she would never believe it even if she was beaten to death!

Jiang Wansang played dumb and said, "Master Imperial Master, your wisdom is unparalleled. Your arrangement is absolutely the best!"

She raised her hands and gave a thumbs-up sign with an expression that said, "I'm seriously praising you."

Pei Zhanzhou: “…”

Jiang Wansang withdrew her hand and immediately changed the subject: "I came here today because I actually have something important to ask the Imperial Master for help."

After she finished speaking, she pulled out a deed from her bosom and said, "I bought the shop of Zhenxiu Pavilion and plan to open a store here."

The geographical location of Zhenxiu Pavilion is one of the best in the entire imperial city. If such a store becomes vacant, there will definitely be countless people vying to take it.

However, the assassination of Master Pei at Zhenxiu Pavilion had caused such a big uproar and had not been properly handled, so this shop in a good location naturally became a hot potato and no one dared to take it.

Jiang Wansang was the only one who had the courage to do this, so he got a bargain and bought the shop at a very low price.

But now she not only has to support Jiang Yi and the others, but also Feng Yi's group of children. After taking over the shop, she will have no money to deal with the rest of the things.

Therefore, she set her sights on Pei Zhanzhou.

Pei Zhanzhou was very familiar with her expression. He adjusted his sitting position slightly and waited for her next words.

As expected, Jiang Wansang aimed to gain benefits from him as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Master Imperial Master, are you interested in investing in opening a hot pot restaurant with me?"
