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

Chapter 370: Discussion

"Your Highness, I also have no good solution to this matter. Her Highness is the most capable woman I have ever seen in all these years. Her intellect surpasses even that of many in the court..."

Xin Ruyu left before the strategist could finish speaking. He then went to a teahouse and leisurely enjoyed drinking tea.

The people around were naturally officials from the lawn. According to Xin Ruyu's inquiries, these officials seemed to enjoy coming to this teahouse for tea, which was actually a good thing for Xin Ruyu.

Sitting in such a place, Xin Ruyu could hear what was happening in the court. More importantly, these people would not even notice Xin Ruyu's presence, because there was a screen there, which could effectively conceal their faces.

"What do you think we should do next to deal with the princess? This princess is really too much. And then there's Shangguan Mufeng. Shangguan Mufeng has always been the princess's lackey, doing his best to serve her. It's really getting to me."

"It's not that I think the same way as you. I never imagined that Shangguan Mufeng would be so good at currying favor. More importantly, Her Highness the Princess values ​​Shangguan Mufeng very much."

They had been discussing how to deal with both Gan Luo and Shangguan Mufeng.

Shangguan Mufeng couldn't help but sneeze at this moment. He sensed that someone was talking badly about him, but he remained calm because he felt that since someone was talking badly about him, he should pay close attention during this period.

Xin Ruyu was leisurely drinking tea when he suddenly heard a commotion coming from next door.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that one of the officials had suddenly become extremely vicious, which directly frightened the other officials.

This official seems to be a third-rank official, holding a certain position in the court and knowing a relatively large number of people. It seems that they all dislike Shangguan Mufeng.

Xin Ruyu found things getting more and more interesting. He then sat there sipping tea, surrounded by the aroma of cologne. He calmly ate desserts and drank tea. When the strategist saw Xin Ruyu's appearance, he couldn't help but ask.

"Your Highness, can you glean anything from what they're saying? For some reason, I feel that what they're saying is just idle chatter, completely useless."

"Everything takes time. If you're too hasty, it will only backfire, you know? Don't be too impatient. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Xin Ruyu was undoubtedly trying to appease the strategist in front of him. The strategist simply stayed quietly to the side, while Xin Ruyu made a gesture, indicating that the strategist should sit opposite him and enjoy tea with him.

Xin Ruyu then sat down and heard the people opposite him starting to talk about matters of the court again. They were talking about their opposing sides and how they wanted to curry favor with Prime Minister Xu. However, Prime Minister Xu seemed to be in a precarious situation recently because the emperor had a great deal of resentment towards him.

"If it weren't for the fact that Prime Minister Xu is the Emperor's uncle, I think he would have already lost his head by now. Prime Minister Xu is just testing the Emperor's patience here, isn't he?"

It seems that this is indeed the case. None of them had expected that Prime Minister Xu would have offended the emperor at this time, and they were all worried for him.

"What do you think we should do next? Should we try to curry favor with Shangguan Mufeng? But I have absolutely no desire to do so. His arrogant attitude is really disgusting to me."

At this moment, Xin Ruyu finished eating the pastries, wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, stood up, paid the bill, and left with his strategist.

After listening for a long time, Xin Ruyu still couldn't figure it out. The only thing he was certain of was that they all had a lot of opinions about Shangguan Mufeng at this moment. The fact that they couldn't come up with a solution after all this time was really frustrating for Xin Ruyu.

Alright, alright, let's hurry back to the Prince's mansion.

After all, it's freezing cold right now. If we stay outside for too long, we might catch a cold, which wouldn't be good.

At this moment, Xin Ruyu saw a beggar lying on the ground. He felt a little sorry for him, since the beggar was an innocent civilian. He then asked someone to help the beggar up and fetch a doctor. He also arranged accommodation for him.

He thought about it carefully and realized that it was ultimately only these ordinary people who suffered.

A scholar happened to pass by and saw the scene before him. He couldn't help but sigh, his eyes filled with disappointment. This scene was clearly seen by Xin Ruyu.

Xin Ruyu walked directly up to the scholar. "I wonder why you're sighing here all of a sudden, young master."

At this moment, the scholars must have looked Xin Ruyu up and down. Xin Ruyu was dressed so splendidly that he must be quite wealthy.

He certainly wouldn't want to say more than a few words to Xin Ruyu, but Xin Ruyu took the initiative to start a conversation with the scholar.

More importantly, Xin Ruyu directly mentioned these matters concerning the imperial court and the common people. Unexpectedly, the scholar became interested at this moment and started chatting with Xin Ruyu.

From his words, Xin Ruyu could sense his disappointment with the court.
