After being reborn, I was won over by the heartfelt words of my loyal bodyguard.

Chapter 371: Resentment

"Before this, I originally wanted to become an official in the imperial court, but after seeing what they did, I really have no more such thoughts."

At this moment, Xin Ruyu decided to treat the scholar in front of him as his subordinate, and Xin Ruyu immediately revealed his identity.

When Xin Ruyu revealed his identity, the scholar was undoubtedly surprised and immediately knelt down on the ground. Xin Ruyu then helped the scholar up.

"Although I am a prince, I am still just a person, so there is no need for you to treat me like this. Why don't you come with me to my palace for a while? What do you think?"

Xin Ruyu then kept his eyes on the scholar and asked him his name. The scholar told Xin Ruyu that his name was Ye Qinghan, and then followed Xin Ruyu back to the palace.

Upon his return, Xin Ruyu naturally treated Ye Qinghan to a very warm welcome. Ye Qinghan was overjoyed by this hospitality.

Xin Ruyu then turned his gaze to the scholar.

After observing him closely, Xin Ruyu could clearly understand one thing: the scholar in front of him must be from a poor family.

Afterwards, Xin Ruyu asked the scholar to work in the palace from then on, and gave him a large sum of money. The scholar immediately agreed and was willing to stay in the palace.

However, on the other side...

Prime Minister Xu must have already learned about the Rakshasa Shadow Pavilion's affairs by this time. He was furious; he never imagined that Gan Luo would swindle such a large sum of money from him.

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu was so angry that he stomped his feet on the spot, but no matter how angry he was, it was too late to get the money back.

"I never imagined things would develop to this extent. I never expected to be swindled out of so much money by this princess. I never imagined it would turn out this way."

At this moment, Prime Minister Xu wished he could go and teach Gan Luo a good lesson, but Gan Luo's strength was too great and he couldn't beat him at all. More importantly, Gan Luo was also very good at making money.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Xu sat there pondering how to recover the money that Gan Luo had swindled from him, and also how he had been neglected by the emperor for the past few days.

He had been thinking about how to gain the emperor's trust. If it weren't for the emperor's consideration that he was his uncle, he would probably be dead by now.

"Why is this king so disappointed in me all of a sudden? Is there something I've done wrong? I've thought about it carefully, and I don't think I've done anything wrong. Why is this king so disappointed in me..."

He kept asking the person next to him, who didn't know how to answer Prime Minister Xu. Perhaps it was because Prime Minister Xu had offended the emperor in some way.

"Isn't the emperor currently here, at this very moment, troubled by the plight of the common people?"

It was at this point that Prime Minister Xu decided to help the king resolve the matter. Perhaps in doing so, the king would regain his trust, as his status was above all others, second only to the emperor and the princess.

He absolutely had to hold onto his position well. What if the emperor became even more disappointed in him and dismissed him from his post, and a new prime minister was chosen instead?

"Father, why did you return from the imperial court? You've been so melancholy ever since. Did something happen during this time?"

There's no way that Prime Minister Xu would tell Xu Jinxin all of this.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Xu went directly to find the Grand Tutor. When the Grand Tutor saw Prime Minister Xu, he was naturally incredulous and wondered if the sun had risen from the west.

"It's quite unbelievable that the Prime Minister would come here today. I never expected him to do so."

"During this time, His Majesty has been troubled by the affairs of the common people. He has come here only to meet you. So, what do you think we should do to help His Majesty share his burdens?"

Unexpectedly, the Grand Tutor was watching Prime Minister Xu from his high position at this moment. After all, he knew the specific situation of Prime Minister Xu in front of the emperor during this period. Now he came to him simply because he had value to be used.

After all, his position was that of Grand Tutor. As a Grand Tutor, he was naturally always by the emperor's side and had the authority to speak with him.

During this period, this person was unable to speak in front of the emperor, so he had no choice but to seek his help.

As expected, karma is a cycle, and no one escapes the wrath of Heaven. In the past, this person was extremely proud, but now he is actually begging from him.

He must have found it very funny at that moment.

"If you can discuss this matter with me and handle it properly for me, I will certainly not treat you unfairly. Don't forget my identity as the Prime Minister."

"Even if you are the prime minister, so what? You no longer have any say in front of the emperor, do you? That is an unchangeable fact."

The prime minister must have been in a state of anger at that moment, and never expected things to turn out this way.

But at this moment, he had no way to directly curse the person in front of him, so he could only swallow his anger.
