Li Mofu thought to himself as he touched the Transformation Pearl hanging around his neck. At least he still had this universal escape tool, so he could go with Wang Ruiyan...
"I plan to put this matter off for a while," Wang Ruiyan suddenly said, her voice steady and unhurried. "I'll write back and ask about my father's details, and if he still doesn't come home, I'll be willing to return to the capital."
"...Have you decided to return to the capital?" Zhao Xu looked at Zuo Zheng and asked with a frown.
Wang Ruiyan nodded, her expression serious. "If my father is still imprisoned, I will naturally return to the capital. I have already given birth to the child and have explained to the Lu family, but as for my parents... I can't just ignore them."
Zhao Xu frowned deeply. He said, "But Wang Shangshu's status is there. I don't think Your Majesty would dare to do anything to him, otherwise the civil and military officials would definitely make a scene."
"Your Majesty is not stupid. He naturally knows that he will become the target of public criticism. But if Your Majesty really fears the criticism from civil and military officials, he would not have imprisoned my father at all." Wang Ruiyan thought very clearly. The words she said had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the effect of the medicine is about to run out, and he is panicking." Wang Ruiyan sighed.
Zhao Xu wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he thought of Duke Zhao and stopped talking.
Here, he should know better than anyone that the emperor can change his face at any time. Even the Duke of Zhao could be offended at will, let alone a Minister of Revenue?
Even if the civil and military officials wrote letters of remonstration every day, what could they do to the emperor? When the emperor got what he wanted and did a few more commendable things, who would remember it?
By then, the tide will have turned and the situation will be over. Who would dare to be the first to launch an attack?
Even if the new emperor doesn't get what he wants this time, he has already reached the end. In the end, he will just take a few unlucky guys with him. Why would he care about how future generations write about him?
"...Okay, then I'll take you to the capital." Zhao Xu said after thinking for a while.
When Zuo Zheng heard Zhao Xu say this, he immediately turned to look at him. After confirming that Zhao Xu was serious, he said, "Then I'll go too."
Li Mofu also said, "Me too."
"No need," Wang Ruiyan said with a smile, "Young Master Zhao and Young Master Zuo should stay in Jiangnan. Especially Young Master Zhao. Although His Majesty hasn't summoned you to the palace to grant you a fiefdom or position, I think he's hostile to you. It's best to avoid him."
"Besides, your family is also seeking refuge in Jiangnan. The old lady, Nian Huan, my children, and so on all need you to stay here to take care of them. What if you go to the capital and are imprisoned?"
Zhao Xu pursed his lips and said, "But, I can't just watch you die alone, right?"
"I'll go too." Li Mofu reiterated silently.
Zhao Xu glared at Li Mofu and said, "Don't go either. Don't cause more trouble."
Wang Ruiyan nodded in agreement, "Yes, you shouldn't go during the last ten days of summer either."
"I won't cause any more trouble!" Li Mofu said loudly in frustration, "Besides, you can't really go alone, right?"
Wang Ruiyan didn't immediately say who she would take with her or who she needed to go. She just said, "Let's wait until my mother replies. I'll put it off for as long as possible."
Zuo Zheng, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Yes, let's delay it for a month or two. It will take time for us to get the news from the capital."
The topic ended here, and the four of them said some irrelevant things and left.
After Li Mofu returned to the house, he told Guozi and Mo Yi about this matter, and they all expressed their opposition to Li Mofu's idea of going to the capital with Wang Ruiyan.
But to be honest, Li Mofu didn't think this was a bad idea.
First of all, the new emperor should not know that he and Wang Ruiyan are both "medicines", otherwise, with his style of doing things, he would not have asked only Wang Ruiyan to return to the capital.
Secondly, he has the Transformation Pearl, so it is almost impossible to lock him up. After all, who can imagine that such a big man can turn into a cat?
So even if Li Mofu followed Wang Ruiyan to the capital, he wouldn't suffer any hardship. He might even be able to take the opportunity to rescue Wang Ruiyan, or even find a chance to give the new emperor...
Li Mofu paused, then shook his head and quickly dismissed the idea.
Although the palace is very big, it is not uninhabited. Moreover, there are so many eunuchs in the palace. Who knows if there are any perverts among them? What if they specialize in catching and abusing cats?
It would be really funny if Wang Ruiyan was exposed by others before she was found, so funny that it would make me cry.
Guozi seemed to see that Li Mofu wanted to go, so he also said that he wanted to go with him. Li Mofu looked at him, thought about it, and shook his head.
Because this time he didn't plan to take the two cats back with him. He was afraid that if something happened this time, he would really have no time to take care of them.
But he was worried about leaving them alone in the Zhao Mansion. He was afraid that the servants in the Zhao Mansion would not take them seriously, that they would be bullied without anyone to complain about, and even more afraid that he would not be able to find them when he came back to look for them.
After all, they are just two cats, and it is already very good that they followed him through mountains and rivers to get here.
Besides, Guozi was young, so it would be pointless for him to follow him back to the capital. If anything went wrong, he could just turn into a cat and run away, but Guozi couldn't escape.
As for Mo Yi's going, Li Mofu would definitely agree with it wholeheartedly. After all, Mo Yi didn't need him to worry about him, and they could all escape if anything happened.
They were thinking about this and that here, and Wang Ruiyan was also thinking in the room. She looked out the window for a long time, and finally returned to the table to start writing a letter.
Outside the window, the night is dark and the stars are twinkling, but there are few people to appreciate them.
