"Unlucky?" Qi Zhifeng looked puzzled. "What's unlucky about this? Although they didn't do anything wrong, they shouldn't be avoided, right? Besides, it's the Duke's Mansion that has conflicts with these old officials, not the imperial physician. Why should they think it's unlucky?"

"Yes!" Hongye also nodded. "The Imperial Hospital should just treat patients and save lives. Why get involved in these things?"

"How should I put it? There should be no relationship before, but later it was somewhat related. It even has a certain relationship with most of the important officials in Xijing City. The Imperial Hospital cannot escape it either."

"I don't understand." Qi Zhifeng looked at Xue Ruitian blankly, his eyes showing the clarity of his youth, and said, "Tell me in detail!"

"What's so hard to understand about this?" Jin Miaomiao snorted. "Because they rely on their seniority and age, they do whatever they want and have offended many people. There must be a lot of people who hate them, but because they are in high positions and have power, they dare not speak out. The Imperial Hospital must have been humiliated by them and there are old grudges, so there is also resentment. But this time they offended the Zhenguo Mansion, which is like kicking a wall."

"It wasn't like this in the beginning." Xue Ruitian thought for a moment and looked at Shen Haolin. "In the first two days, everyone was just watching for fun, right? It had nothing to do with them, they just wanted to watch the joke. Because a lot of the evidence released was actually related to the time when Uncle Shen was reported, and had little to do with other people."

"Even if it wasn't a big one, it still caused public outrage." Shen Cha smiled. "I heard this from my father, mother, and brother. It was the time for the imperial examination, and all the candidates from Daxia were in the capital. Whether they were civil or military, they were very dissatisfied with this memorial."

"It's easy for the martial arts students, but the scholars," Jin Jing was puzzled, "aren't they happy for this to happen?"

"No, they think that if the military power of the Duke of Zhenguo is taken away, they may have to go to the border to guard, but they don't want this to happen. After all, they worked hard to take the imperial examinations, not to suffer in a cold and bitter place like the border. Therefore, they are the ones who are very opposed to this matter."

"I see!" Jin Jing sneered, "After so many years, these scholars are still the same. They never change."

"That's right!" Xiao Fengqi nodded towards Jin Jing, "It's the same with us in the Liao Dynasty. Although the people are tough, we also have civil officials. There are many who are sensible like Lord Qi, but not many. Most of them are very self-righteous. Even this time when we planned to use military force against the Jin Kingdom, they opposed it and thought we were warmongering."

"It looks like everyone is in the same situation." Shen Cha smiled at Xiao Fengqi, "Our cooperation this time can satisfy their ideas."

"Yes, the war has been going on for too many years, and everyone should rest and recuperate."

"This is all later, Brother Fengqi, please don't interrupt." Qi Zhifeng was fascinated by the story. He looked at Xue Ruitian and Shen Cha, urging them to continue, "What happened next? How did it lead to greater chaos?" "Because those old ministers felt that it was normal for young people to make trouble, and it wouldn't last long. They would leave on their own in two days, and the storm would be over. But" Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Haolin, "How could the Duke let this storm end so easily, right?"

"Yeah!" Shen Haolin nodded. "That would be too easy for them. I didn't release all the stuff I had. I released it bit by bit. For example, the incident of my father being implicated lasted for about three or four days. I felt that it was almost done, so I released a little more. Slowly, it took about two to three months to release all the materials I had."

"So... patient?" Qi Zhifeng asked in confusion, "Wouldn't it be better to let them out all at once? Give them a heavy blow, leaving them no chance to breathe. If you do this, Duke, isn't it like cutting meat with a blunt knife? What if they come to their senses and want to bite you back? Wouldn't that mean all your efforts will be wasted?"

"If they dare to bite back, I will release the most important evidence in advance. That will be a real hit. But then again, if I release my trump card too early, it will be disadvantageous to me."

"What the Duke said is correct." Xiao Fengqi agreed. "It's better not to show your trump card to everyone so early." As he spoke, he looked at Qi Zhifeng and saw that he was being taught a lesson. He couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Just because you are young and inexperienced, you still don't believe it. You are not happy when we stop you. Fortunately, those old guys who wanted to kidnap you were guilty and didn't dare to be too arrogant. Moreover, we have solid evidence in our hands. As long as they dare to jump out and confront us, they will never come back. But generally speaking, they won't put themselves in danger. Fortunately, someone came to help you later, otherwise, you might be the one who never came back."

"I see." Qi Zhifeng nodded. "I thought I did a good job, but I didn't expect..." He sighed and looked at everyone. "I will remember this lesson in the future. I will take it slow and try not to let people suspect me."

"You are a teachable boy." Jin Miaomiao nodded with satisfaction. "But you are making such a fuss, it's impossible to hide it from your uncle, right?"

"He knows about it. He was the one who said that if we were to step out and avoid the limelight, who knows what those people would do when they get to know the truth." Qi Zhifeng smiled embarrassedly, "I was impulsive and ended up causing a lot of trouble for others."

"So, you don't want us to worry, so you don't want to tell us about this, right?"

"Yeah!" Qi Zhifeng nodded at Hongye seriously, "I'm fine, right? Why should I tell you and make you worry, right?"

"You have good intentions. If we hadn't known that the two young masters wanted to use Wanyan Qingmu's matter to reorganize the Liao court, we probably wouldn't know the truth when you left." Shen Cha looked at Qi Zhifeng, "Okay, let's turn the page." She glanced at Hongye, then gave Qi Zhifeng a look. Seeing him nod, she continued, "It's almost time. Uncle and Madam Ning should have finished their nap. Let's go see them!"
