Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 682 - 642: Another Update_2
As soon as Xing Yu looked up, she asked, "Attack Nanzheng? How could that be possible?"
The young man laughed, breathless yet his laughter was utterly unrestrained. π³ππ²ππ¨ππ―πππ§ππΉ.π°πΌπ
"You canβt try," Yin He said, smiling, "If you dare to act, all your previous efforts will have been in vain." Though uninterested in these matters, he remembered everything Zheng Nianru had said.
"What, you donβt dare? I could tell you the secrets of the Sword Tree Forest," the youth continued, "In that case, Nanmen State could rapidly become more powerful, and you could go without any worries..."
The young man hadnβt finished speaking when he was struck by a violent cough that left him unable to continue. Suddenly, Nanmen Yu bent down and thrust a medicine pill directly into Yin Heβs mouth.
Xing Yu watched the scene in stunned silence as Yin He coldly glanced at Nanmen Yu. If he had wanted to kill him, it wouldnβt have needed so much effort, so he swallowed the pill without hesitation. A wave of warmth immediately spread from his throat, and the young man could feel changes in his body.
It seemed that Nanmen Yu knew more about spells than he had imagined, because of which he was no longer afraid.
"Letβs go," Yin He suddenly spoke, which startled Xing Yu, who was too dumbfounded to respond and stood frozen in place. However, seeing that Nanmen Yu made no move to stop them, Xing Yu realized, was this an agreement to Yin Heβs suggestion?
Xing Yu couldnβt think much more about it, and at this life-or-death juncture, she felt the youth was only aiming to escape.
She immediately shouldered Yin He and hurried into the thick forest.
"Your Majesty, Your Majestyβ" the following guard rushed up to Nanmen Yu, but there was no sign of Yin He. The guards did not understand what had happened.
"Your Majesty, if we chase now, we might still be able to catch them," the leader of the guards quickly said. The opponent was injured, and although Miss Xing Yu was somewhat strange, she did not know martial arts, and posed no great threat to them.
"No need, return to Nanmen," Nanmen Yu spoke as he stared into the darkness.
So, how much did Zheng Nianru know? When Nanmen Yu thought of this, he couldnβt help but laugh at himself. Without her permission, would Yun Nanny and Fu Dong have appeared in Prince Duanβs Mansion?
Perhaps, she had personally concocted this plan.
...
Nanzheng State rapidly got back on track, and with his skilled management, Ju Nanyi once again demonstrated his talent in national governance, silencing even his critics.
Because in allocating benefits, Ju Nanyi was very clever, almost considering the balance of all forces.
But everyone believed that these feats werenβt just the work of Ju Nanyi alone; much depended on the Emperorβs accurate grasp of the various forces.
Zheng Congyuan also reappeared in the court three months after his rest period.
It seemed that Nanzheng State also rapidly forgot the impacts of the rebellion, and the court was brimming with even more vigor than before the unrest.
Luh Xingze had been promoted to Minister of the Revenue. From the third rank, to have ascended to his position so smoothly was not only due to his own capabilities but also because he was a fellow townsman of Ju Nanyi, the Prime Minister. Luh Xingze was well aware of this and also secretly did a lot to balance the factions for Ju Nanyi.
"Minister Luhβ" As he walked out of the palace gate after court, Luh Xingze had become accustomed to the warm greetings from other officials. Even those of higher rank did not hesitate to engage in friendly conversation before departing, and Luh Xingze knew they were not really interested in him.
"Lord Linβ" Luh Xingze bowed, his demeanor steady, subtly resembling the currently highly popular Prime Minister.
"Minister Luh, I heard that recently Prime Minister Ju has been working tirelessly through the night for state affairs. Several officials who went to Chenyuan Hall early in the morning encountered the Prime Minister coming out of the palace. The Prime Ministerβs dedication to our Nanzheng is truly..." Lord Lin was emotionally moved, "truly a model for us all."
"Lord Lin speaks the truth," Luh Situ responded, but wondered why Lord Lin did not say this in front of the Prime Minister instead of talking to him.
Seeing that Luh Situ appeared indifferent, it did not dampen Lord Linβs enthusiasm. He stepped forward, glanced around to ensure no one else was near, then spoke again.
"Minister Luh, as you are a fellow townsman of Prime Minister Ju, there is something I hope you could reveal," Lord Lin said with a sycophantic smile, his eyes pleading.
"Lord Lin, feel free to speak," Luh Xingze was not surprised as he often encountered such questions; his expression showed more resignation than curiosity.
