The Poisonous Wife: Cute Baby Comes to Rebirth with Me

Chapter 559: Grand Scholar Ji
In the deep night, Yi Han's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He noticed something unusual with just a glance.

He moved his body to the side, deftly avoiding the oncoming flames.

The fire was like that of a wild beast, scorching and dazzling, causing people to be temporarily blinded.

Yi Han closed his eyes tightly, enduring the brief burning and stinging pain. When the feeling subsided, he heard a faint sound by his ears.

Then, Liu Prajna's voice came softly and clearly into his ears, "Don't worry, this is just a trap set by the Ni King, it does no real harm to anyone."

Yi Han slowly opened his eyes and saw that the fire had gone out. A jar was quietly open, revealing a stack of papers inside.

He reached out his hand, carefully picked up the stack of papers, flipped it lightly, and frowned.

"What...is this?" he asked in a low voice.

Liu Banruo took a closer look, her face froze, and she said with a little annoyance: "Huh? Why aren't those letters? Why did it become the Three Character Classic?" A trace of disappointment flashed in Yi Han's eyes, "I thought it was hidden so secretly, it would be something important, but I didn't expect... it turned out to be the Three Character Classic."

"No, it was originally there for the letter." Liu Prajna shook her head, seeming to be confused and disappointed by this sudden change. "I saw it with my own eyes, and I saw him put it there with my own eyes." She sighed, "Now that the letter is gone, I'm afraid the general will no longer cooperate with me. Forget it, maybe this is fate."

After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yi Han.

He stared at her, an elusive light flashing in his eyes, "Are you sure that was originally there for the letter?"

Liu Prajna nodded, "It's certain."

Yi Han smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control.

After Liu Banruo left, he waved his hand, and Mei Qing jumped down from the roof like a ghost and quickly caught up with Liu Banruo.

At the moment the fire shone, he clearly heard the sound of paper moving, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: Yun Xi is right, she really has a way to transplant flowers and trees.

After Liu Banruo returned to the room, she hurriedly took out the letter from the envelope and confirmed that it was evidence of collusion between the King of Lingnan and the Kyoto officials.

Once these letters were delivered to the emperor, she would be able to achieve great success. However, she felt a little uneasy.
The Emperor asked her why she didn't hand over the letter immediately, but waited until now. How should she explain it?

She pondered for a long time, the names of the conspirators coming to mind. She tapped the table lightly, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind.

She carefully selected a few letters with names on them and kept the rest away.

Then she put on new clothes, sat in front of the dressing table, and slowly began to dress up.

Today, she had many people to visit. The first person she visited was Master Ji, the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy.

Scholar Ji was a civil servant of the current dynasty, holding a high position of second rank. He was well-versed in literature, a low-key and honest person, and was deeply favored by the emperor.

His only hobby is smoking opium.

Liu Banruo specially bought a box of high-quality tobacco as a gift for the visit.

When Academician Ji heard that Liu Prajna was coming to visit, he was surprised, but he still had someone invite her in.

Liu Prajna bowed as soon as she entered the room. "How are you, Grand Secretary Ji? I haven't seen you for a long time. You look more energetic than before." Grand Secretary Ji glanced at her indifferently. "Madam Liu, you are too polite. I don't remember having any encounter with you."

Liu Prajna sat down with a smile, "It's normal that Master Ji doesn't remember. But I came here today because I have something important to tell you." She ordered the servants to bring the tobacco and signaled them to leave.

When they were the only two left in the hall, Liu Prajna took out a letter from her sleeve and placed it on the table, "Grand Master, please read this."

When Academician Ji looked down, he saw the words "Respectfully addressed to the King of Lingnan" written on the envelope.

He was startled and stood up suddenly, snatched the envelope and wanted to tear it into pieces.

However, Liu Prajna said calmly, "You can tear up the letter, Master Ji. Except for the envelope, the contents are all copied by me. I still have the original."

She took out the real letter from her sleeve and waved it in front of the Grand Secretary, "But it doesn't matter even if you take this letter. How many letters has the Grand Secretary written to the prince? Do you still remember?" Grand Secretary Ji's face changed drastically, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

He did send a letter to the King of Lingnan, but the King of Lingnan repeatedly promised to destroy the letter. Unexpectedly, Liu Prajna still had the original copy!

Seeing that he looked panicked, Liu Prajna became more determined.

She looked around the simple hall and said with a smile: "It is really admirable that the Grand Secretary has received so much money from the prince but lives so honestly!"

These words sounded like needles pricking the ears of Master Ji.

Seeing that the time was right, Liu Prajna continued, "If you don't want these letters to fall into the hands of the emperor, please cooperate with me. Otherwise..." She lowered her voice and threatened viciously, "Have you ever tasted the feeling of having your entire family executed?" Grand Secretary Ji was so scared that he trembled all over but did not dare to get angry and could only nod in agreement.

The scholars knew that trading with her was like seeking the skin of a tiger, full of dangers. However, he had no choice at this moment and could only bite the bullet and ask, "How do you need me to help you?"

"Tomorrow, several ministers will make a joint memorial with you, requesting the emperor to commend me for my contribution in killing the rebel king and to make me his consort. You just need to agree with them," Liu Prajna replied leisurely.
