Chapter 125 The Top Scholar in His Previous Life
Murong Xun presented the evidence to the Emperor, who was furious and ordered the Left Chancellor to be imprisoned. However, the Left Chancellor had many followers who lobbied extensively to try to get him out of prison.
Murong Xun would not let them succeed. On the one hand, he arranged for people to protect the witnesses, and on the other hand, he used his power and wisdom to engage in a thrilling contest with the Left Chancellor's cronies.
"Furthermore, send more men to secretly monitor the movements of the other princes. If anything unusual is discovered, report to me immediately." Murong Xun knew that this return to the capital would be fraught with difficulties, but he was not afraid.
He was determined to thoroughly purge the treacherous officials in the court and bring peace and order to the State of Chu.
"Yes, sir!" Yan Xiao accepted the order and turned to leave.
Murong Xun gazed out the window, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
He knew this was a life-or-death struggle, but he was prepared to protect the peace of the Chu Kingdom at all costs.
Xue Ruanruan was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth in the room. Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were filled with worry. She kept looking towards the door, hoping that Xue Li would appear.
"Why isn't my sister back yet? Could she really be in danger?" Xue Ruanruan murmured to herself, her hands unconsciously clenching. Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
"No, I can't just wait here like this." Xue Ruanruan made up her mind; she had to go out and find Xue Li. She hurriedly changed her clothes and walked quickly toward the gate of the mansion.
The divine healer was a special person to his master, but he dared not say just how special she was.
As Murong Xun was leaving, he paused briefly beside Xue Ruanruan, giving her a meaningful look with his dark, deep eyes that seemed to see through everything.
However, Xue Ruanruan was not intimidated by Murong Xun's gaze. She straightened her back and met his eyes without flinching. At that moment, she displayed her strength and courage, proving to Murong Xun that she was not one to easily show weakness. Although she felt a little flustered inside, she remained calm and composed.
Murong Xun's lips curled slightly, seemingly surprised by Xue Ruanruan's reaction. He then withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward, leaving behind a tall and imposing figure receding into the distance. As he left, the surrounding atmosphere gradually returned to calm, but Xue Ruanruan knew that that fleeting moment of eye contact would be forever etched in her memory.
Without saying a word, he strode away, his brocade robe swaying in the wind, brushing against her face, as if she didn't notice.
Xue Ruanruan was startled; he realized that she had used him to bully others with her power.
"Do you know where you went wrong?" the Left Chancellor asked sternly.
“My daughter shouldn’t like the Regent,” Miss Zuo replied softly.
"Since you know this, why are you still so stubbornly clinging to your delusions?" The Left Prime Minister's tone was tinged with disappointment.
Miss Zuo raised her head, her eyes shining with determination. "Father, my feelings for the Regent are not just a passing impulse, but genuine. I believe that the Regent feels the same way."
The Left Prime Minister looked at his daughter, feeling helpless. He knew that once his daughter made up her mind about something, it was difficult to change it. Perhaps he should try a different approach to this problem...
The golden monkey grinned smugly and jumped onto a nearby branch, seemingly waiting for Xue Ruanruan's reaction. Xue Ruanruan carefully picked up a jar of wine, opened the lid, and smelled it, immediately captivated by its rich aroma.
"It smells so good..." she murmured to herself.
Then, she took a small sip, the wine spreading in her mouth, bringing a unique sweetness and mellow aroma. Xue Ruanruan's eyes widened, a satisfied smile spreading across her face.
“It’s delicious! Thank you, Golden Monkey!” she said gratefully to Golden Monkey, her face beaming with satisfaction and happiness. Her eyes sparkled, as if the delicious drink had lit up the whole world.
Seeing her so happy, the golden monkey was also overjoyed. It grinned, revealing a row of neat, white teeth, as if to say: You're welcome. Making you happy is my greatest joy.
She gently stroked the golden monkey's head, feeling its soft fur. The golden monkey closed its eyes, enjoying her gentle touch, as if immersed in endless warmth.
At that moment, their relationship became even closer, and they both felt each other's kindness and love. This beautiful moment will forever remain in their hearts as a precious memory.
The golden monkey jumped around happily, as if it could sense Xue Ruanruan's joy. Xue Ruanruan continued to taste the other wines, praising each one highly. She felt as if she were in a paradise of fine wines, enjoying this rare delicacy.
After a satisfying meal, Xue Ruanruan leaned against a tree to rest, while the golden monkey leaped merrily beside her. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew by, carrying with it a distant commotion. Xue Ruanruan sat up abruptly, looking in the direction of the sound.
She noticed a group of people arguing not far away, and one of them looked very familiar. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was the bully she had encountered in town before.
Recalling her previous experience, Xue Ruanruan felt a surge of anger. She decided to go and see what had happened, and teach that bully a lesson. She quietly approached the crowd and overheard their conversation.
It turned out that the bully was forcing an old man to hand over his belongings. The old man refused, and the two started arguing. Xue Ruanruan was furious and stepped forward to loudly stop the bully's behavior.
The golden monkey darted through the orchard in the space, its figure agile and nimble. Each fruit exuded an enticing aroma, making the golden monkey's mouth water.
The golden monkey is very familiar with these fruits because it planted and cared for them all itself. Each fruit represents its hard work and effort.
When the golden monkey sees a ripe fruit, it immediately jumps up and gently picks it with its hand. Then, it sits under the tree and slowly savors the delicious fruit. Sometimes, it will also share some fruit with its other animal friends.
The golden monkey loves to play in this orchard. It climbs to the top of the tree and overlooks the beautiful scenery. There are green mountains and clear waters, as well as all kinds of small animals; everything is so wonderful.
In this space, the golden monkey felt freedom and joy. It knew that as long as it worked hard, it could create more beautiful things. So, it came here every day to tend to the fruit trees and enjoy this tranquility and beauty.
The golden rice stalks bent low, their heavy ears swaying gently in the breeze, exuding a rich spiritual energy. At the center of the rice paddies was a jade pendant space, shimmering with a mysterious light, like a dazzling pearl.
Inside the jade pendant's space, life flourished. The roots of the spirit rice were deeply embedded in the fertile soil, absorbing the rich spiritual energy within the jade pendant's space. The grains on the rice ears were full and round, shimmering with golden light.
At the edge of the jade pendant's space, there was a clear spring, its crystal-clear water flowing gently, bringing a refreshing atmosphere. Around the spring, various spiritual herbs grew, thriving under the nourishment of the jade pendant's spiritual energy, emitting a delicate fragrance.
Above the jade pendant space, white clouds floated, and various spiritual fruits grew on the clouds. Nourished by the spiritual energy of the jade pendant space, they were ripe and plump, emitting an enticing fragrance.
The Jade Pendant Space is a vibrant and spiritual world that provides the best growing environment for the Spirit Rice and brings endless surprises and harvests to people.
