Meng Huan’s heart dropped.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Followed by dizziness in his vision.

His mind began to scream for help: Please help! Anyone?! Help! Help me! Get me out of here! Help! Somebody help! Help me please! Help! 4Mf p0

Lin Bozhu rested his thin wrists on the armrests and turned his head towards the sound of Meng Huan’s voice. “Huan Huan, you are up? Have breakfast served, then.”

However, he turned his head and focused on Chen An’s topic: “Let the Chief of Ceremonies keep an eye on you and please your Majesty to seek glory and wealth. If it tempts Your Majesty to make a wrong decision, quit the court, and neglect your studies, tell me immediately.” .”

However he then turned his head, his focus still on Chen An’s topic. “Have the Supervisor of Ceremony keep an eye on them. It’s fine if they seek favor with His Majesty for higher positions and wealth, but if they tempt His Majesty into making wrong decisions, like suspending the court or neglecting his studies, inform this Regent immediately.”

Chen An nodded. “Understood.”

Lin Bozhou was very strict with Emperor Xuanhe and wanted to train him to be a real emperor and wise king. He would strictly set the time for Emperor Xuanhe to study, eat, ride, shoot and even rest. At the same time, he would strictly guard against certain people using strange skills. Obscene and cunning charms the emperor.

Lin Bozhou was very strict with the Xuanhe Emperor. In order to cultivate the boy into a true emperor and a wise ruler, he set a strict schedule for reading, eating, horseback archery, and even resting. At the same time, firmly guarded His Majesty so as to prevent others from using tricks to charm the Emperor.

There were too many temptations around the Emperor, and they also wore masks, making it difficult to distinguish if they were sincere or ambitious. The Xuanhe Emperor was also an emotional and easily confused person, so even his social connections were handled by Lin Bozhou.

Before, a young eunuch accompanied the Xuanhe Emperor out of the palace knowing how bad it was to have the ruler outside of the palace. But instead of dissuading the Emperor, he suggested the idea just to make His Majesty happy, resulting in him being sent to the Eastern Depot on Lin Bozhou’s order, and being caned to death. Lj9koE

A wise minister would have advised the emperor to be smarter, even if his advice was not music to the ruler’s ears.

Flattering ministers, on the other hand, were only interested in pleasing His Majesty.

—However, because Lin Bozhou interfered too much, he was accused by officials of having deceived and controlled the Emperor.

Chen An stepped back and dismissed himself. Qr3FSj

Only Meng Huan and Lin Bozhou were left in the study.

Meng Huan’s scalp tingled. As he walked to the man’s side, he glanced at the letters on the table. Just the sight of them made his eyes hot.

He slowly lowered his head and gently flattened his lips.

Lin Bozhou asked, “Why aren’t you saying anything?” EHU2hJ

The letters were placed in front of him. Meng Huan didn’t know if Chen An had read the contents to Lin Bozhou, making him feel uneasy. He looked up and asked, “Have you read these two letters?”

“Earlier, You Jin found these under the bed. Not knowing who they belonged to, he left them on the table. They haven’t been examined yet.”

There was a hint of ambiguous amusement in Lin Bozhou’s voice when he said that.

If these were meant to be secret letters, then it was very cute. How could there be a fool so stupid that he couldn’t even hide them properly? L7Jzp1

Meng Huan was, in short, very speechless right now.

They entered a moment of silence.

Which was broken by a sigh.

Meng Huan stomped his foot in frustration. FI7qaT

Lu Nanxing didn’t know the characters, and Meng Xueming was afraid that he would forget the details, so Meng Huan didn’t dare to burn it like in the TV series, but he kept it in the middle of his clothes and planned to read it again at dawn.

He could not decipher Lu Nanxing’s writing, and he was afraid of forgetting the details of Meng Xueming’s letter, so he did not dare to burn them like in the TV drama he’d seen before. Instead he put them between the layers of his clothing, planning to read them again in the morning.

He didn’t think that they would fall out when he changed his clothes and get picked up.

…So stupid of him! No matter what he did, he would always mess it up. 9uYmEU

Meng Huan slapped his forehead hard.

This fueled Meng Huan’s courage and he confirmed, “Yes, they are mine.” 2TBkzZ

He felt that perhaps it was time to come clean.

Unexpectedly, Lin Bozhou turned over the letters and said, “Then take them back and store them with care next time.”

“…Huh?” fCz6NQ

Meng Huan raised his head, looking at the man in shock.

What! Are you not even planning to see what is written in these letters?

“Since these are Huan Huan’s letters, of course Huan Huan should hold onto them.” Lin Bozhou said, “Rest assured that this husband will not read your letters.” UeJFCy

At this point, Meng Huan really was at a complete loss.

Although he and Lin Bozhou had been married for some time, Meng Huan knew not to mention political affairs in front of him, and Lin Bozhou’s personality was naturally gentle and non-aggressive; but Meng Huan also knew that Lin Bozhou was a hard-core politician at heart, and if he talked about the assassination, it would involve him. He will definitely be angry about something that is life-threatening.

Although he had been married to Lin Bozhou for some time, Meng Huan knew that if he did not mention politics in front of him, Lin Bozhou’s demeanor would naturally be gentle and non-aggressive; but Meng Huan also knew that Lin Bozhou was an iron-blooded politician at his core. If he were to bring up the assassination, it would be something that concerned the man’s life, and he would certainly be angry.

Meng Huan originally thought that since Lin Bozhou didn’t know about it, he would just let the matter of receiving the letter pass, and it would be best to pretend that it never happened. That’s why Meng Huan would be so nervous when he saw the letter, but he never expected that Lin Bozhou wouldn’t read the letter he received. JZiA50

Meng Huan originally thought that since Lin Bozhou was unaware of him receiving the letters, it would be best to let the matter pass as if it had never happened. This was why Meng Huan was so nervous about Lin Bozhou seeing the letters, but he never expected that Lin Bozhou actually wouldn’t read his letters.

So, he was safe winging through it…just like that?

With the letters in his hands, he clenched them in a daze.

Why did Lin Bozhou not read the letters? WKQmPD

Because he trusted Meng Huan?

Meng Huan felt even more guilty when he thought about how good Lin Bozhou was to him.

On the other side, Lin Bozhou reached out his hands. “Huan Huan, help bring this husband to the dining table?”

“Oh, alright.” Mq3kfc

Meng Huan came close and helped him out of the chair. Lin Bozhou got to his feet and didn’t say anything else, lightly pursing his lips. His high-bridged nose showed a kind of dignified appearance, as if he was deep in thought.

Lin Bozhou uses his brain a lot. Whenever there is trouble in the court, he has to consider it from all angles and take into account the interests of all parties. This requires overall thinking. Therefore, when he is not thinking, he often does not speak. Instead, he lowers his head slightly, his face It was as calm as water, and it seemed like nothing could be seen.

Lin Bozhou used his brain frequently. Whenever the court was in trouble, he needed to consider the problem from all angles, taking into account the interests of all parties. This required a lot of holistic critical thinking. Therefore, he remained silent when he was not thinking, instead lowering his head slightly, looking as calm as water and revealing nothing.

Meng Huan took his hand and led him to sit at the table. I0V6Tf

He could not resist asking, “What is husband thinking about?”

Lin Bozhou tightened his grip on the hand in his own. “Thinking about Cui Lang being summoned to the palace.”

Meng Huan blinked blankly.

So, you aren’t thinking about the problem of me possibly being an assassin, or me having thought about assassinating you?

To be frank, Meng Huan had transmigrated into the book for quite some time now, and the assassination of Lin Bozhou was one of the few main plot tasks. Unexpectedly, Lin Bozhou paid absolutely no attention to him! OzoYQ

Was there really such a harmless failure of an assassin?

QAQ.

Meng Huan took the letters, and after a moment of pause, he asked, “Why did you not ask who sent these letters to me?” 4lMXRP

After saying that, he realized that he was feeling slightly upset at being ignored.

Lin Bozhou smiled, turned to him and asked with great patience, “Who wrote these letters to Huan Huan?”

“…” The man really asked. Meng Huan opened his lips, but his voice was stuck in his throat.

Pinching the wrinkled letters, Meng Huan began, “Who do you think? You are so smart, take a guess.” goZXtG

Lin Bozhou’s smile widened. “Is one of them from Lu Nanxing? The other one is more of a speculation, but maybe it is from your father?”

Meng Huan straightened up immediately, looking at Lin Bozhou with a very surprised expression. “You read them?”

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

“No,” Lin Bozhou said, “your father has an honest and upright character, and he has no regard for feelings when admonishing him. He is easy to break when he is too strong, so he has no friends in the court, only Lu Shi. You have been in the mansion for so long, and the only one who has come to visit you is He is the only one left, so the letter is most likely sent by your little sweetheart Lu Nanxing.”

“Not true.” Lin Bozhou explained, “Your father is an honest and upright individual, and he gives frank advice regardless of relationships. This made him often clash with others, without looking into ways to mediate. Thus, he has no friends in court except for Lu Shi. You have been in the compound for so long, and the only one who has visited you was him, so the letter was probably sent by your childhood friend, Lu Nanxing.” RoyO2m

Meng Huan opened his mouth wide and asked, “What about the second letter?”

“You were quiet for a long time while bathing last night, which means you can understand the words on the letter, but it’s just difficult. The handwriting must be very neat and ordinary.” Lin Bozhou smiled, “Your father is a second-class Jinshi, and he was in the Imperial Academy. I have been in trouble for many years, and I am good at writing regular script. I am afraid that I am also a loving father to you.”

“Last night, when you were bathing, you went quiet for a long time, indicating that you could read the letter, it just took a bit of effort, so the handwriting must be very neat and ordinary.” Lin Bozhou smiled. “Your father was ranked second in the imperial civil service examination and had spent many years in the Imperial Hanlin Academy. He is masterful in writing regular script, and what he sent to you is perhaps a father’s kind advice.”

Meng Huan’s mind was blown. He didn’t think he would give away so much just by reading his letters while taking a bath. 3SnD8V

However, he responded, “You’ve known that I was reading letters since last night?”

“Not exactly.” Lin Bozhou said, “This husband only guessed after You Jin found these letters this morning.”

“Then you…”

Meng Huan’s mouth was wide open. 8UzDK

Then you know that I contacted Lu Nanxing and even my father. Why are you not angry?

But the question never came out.

Instead, the corners of Lin Bozhou’s lips curved into a faint smile. “You want to ask why this husband is not angry?”

Meng Huan whimpered with wide eyes. “I haven’t said anything yet!” dEfxI2

“Your father is honest and upright, so you can communicate with him openly. There is nothing to worry about. As for Lu Nanxing, the son of an official in the Qingliu Faction, he’s merely a scholar, so what can he accomplish?”

Meng Huan squeezed his fingers nervously, feeling that something that had been weighing down on him for a long time was suddenly lifted away only for him to find that it was empty inside.

However, he was still feeling nervous. Cautiously, he looked at the man. “Then do you know about our malicious intentions towards you?”

After that, he added, “‘We’ is referring to Lu Nanxing and I.”

He repeated in a small voice, “Including—me.” gizLoJ

Including your beloved wife, the person who sleeps next to you, the little darling cupped in your palms, who has also thought about killing you.

But after he finished speaking, his hand was held tighter, and Lin Bozhou’s palms became slightly cold: “A gentleman’s opinions are not what he thinks. Your father’s position is different from mine. He is an official and serves as His Majesty’s eyes and ears. At that time, the court scolded me for not doing anything within my duties. What a mistake. It’s just that someone is hiding behind his back and treating him as a gunman and a tool in party strife. If you don’t stop, your father will anger His Majesty and be beheaded. I admire your father’s conduct, so I will temporarily release him to Fengxiang to stay away from party strife. , to save lives.”

But when he finished speaking, his hand was held even tighter in Lin Bozhou’s cold palm. “Gentlemen are judged by their actions, not their hearts. Your father and I stood on different sides. As an imperial censor, he was His Majesty’s eyes and ears. Scolding me in court is within his obligations, so he did nothing wrong. But there are people in the background using him as a tool for factional fighting. If nothing had been done, your father might have angered His Majesty and been beheaded. I admire your father’s conduct, so I temporarily transferred him to Fengxiang County to keep him away from the factional strife and to keep him safe.”

Hearing this, Meng Huan jerked his head up. Hy0de

What?

Did you not send Meng Xueming to serve in the army at Fengxiang County out of anger after he scolded and humiliated your self-esteem in front of the court?

Lin Bozhou’s eyebrows dimmed a little, and his tone was pure, “It is a normal experience to be promoted or deposed, and the officialdom will be ups and downs. Your father is a good public speaker, and he will be able to persuade the monarch to be a great man in the future. But now the court is in turmoil, and your Majesty has not yet Maturity is not the time to use your father.”

A dim light flickered in Lin Bozhou’s eyes and he spoke with clear tone, “It is normal to experience promotions as well as dismissals while drifting along the waves of officialdom. Your father is a good imperial censor. He will be a great adviser to the ruler in the future. But right now, the court is in turmoil, and His Majesty is not yet mature, so it is not the time to use your father.” DUmeVJ

Meng Huan looked up. “But…”

“Right now, your father is only temporarily sealed in a box for protection. His good reputation for scolding me in court has already spread, and it is very likely that His Majesty will reappoint him once I leave the court. When that time arrives, it will be your father’s turn to shine.”

He gently pinched Meng Huan’s face and said, “This is called retreating in order to advance, Huan Huan, do you understand now?”

Now he was pinching Meng Huan’s cheek. Lin Bozhou’s touch was very light, only brushing his fingertips softly against the pale cheek. AMRVfb

Meng Huan raised his eyes to look at him.

It took Meng Huan a while to digest Lin Bozhou’s words.

He furrowed his brows and racked his brain. “So, is it not a bad thing that my father was banished to serve in the army?”

“No,” Lin Bozhou’s voice was gentle, “I just have to suffer some physical pain, but I have asked the escorting officers and soldiers to take more care of him, and I also told the camp not to embarrass your father. He must be living a very leisurely life now. “ cIwLTU

“No,” Lin Bozhou confirmed in a gentle voice, “he just has to suffer some physical hardship, but I already asked the escorting officers and soldiers to look after him, and informed the post not to be too hard on your father. He should be living a very leisurely life right now.”

—All of this was in line with Meng Xueming’s letter.

So it was not a bitter punishment, there were no shackles on his limbs, and no bloody mess on the soles of his feet from walking all the way to Fengxiang County in the blazing sun and sand.

Nor did Lin Bozhou abuse his authority and angrily banish His Majesty’s imperial censor in retaliation for his humiliation in court. 9nXY0V

Many people saw the first layer, but not the second layer.

Meng Huan inexplicably remembered the scene at the beginning of the book, where the original host cursed Lin Bozhou.

So, the original host also didn’t know Lin Bozhou’s true intentions?

So… Lin Bozhou had been doing good deeds, but kept being misunderstood and misinterpreted? 4ciU89

Even when the story was written into a book, Meng Huan, as a reader, only thought of the man as powerful, ruthless, and decisive, the embodiment of a villainous gong. Later, when the original host abused Lin Bozhou with joy, Meng Huan also followed suit in joy, never seeing the arrangements made behind the scenes.

—Was this what a political intrigue novel was?

Meng Huan was stunned and suddenly felt that this world was actually nothing like what he had originally read.

Gazing up, he looked in Lin Bozhou’s direction once more. m4Qj l

The man sat quietly in the chair, posture upright with the white gauze around his temples loosened, revealing his pale earlobe. All of this gave a sense of living a solitary and quiet life, stuck in the ambience of dark night.

Outwardly as handsome as heaven’s favored son, inwardly as ugly as a malevolent spirit.

Meng Huan’s line of sight landed on the white gauze over the man’s eyes.

He suddenly felt that Lin Bozhou had stayed in the dark for too long. xYLTf7

So long that his hands were stained completely with blood and grime that could not be washed clean. With his loose, untied hair, he looked like an attractive devil bearing his fangs, like the shadow of night feared by everyone.

But now… Meng Huan found that…

He was not that dirty, not dirty to the point of being unapproachable…

Not dirty to the point that being close to him was a mistake. NCEQ75


The author has something to say:

I really like the scene where Lin-gou patiently explains the whole situation to his dumb wife!

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

It is time for the dumb wife to get his act together!


The translator has something to say: PiKyE7

Teo: Release will be more sporadic because of the flu that is going around.

Also, Elder Young Master Cui, his name went from Cui Ying in chapter 49 to Cui Lang in chapter 50 and after. I’m not sure if the word ‘Lang’ in his name is meant to be used as ‘young man’ or his name. But this Cui Lang is the same person as Cui Ying mentioned in chapter 49.

Translator's Note

Original is just “Help me” nine times. It’s a meme and really nothing else to it.

Translator's Note

It also carries a sense of confusing the Emperor, like tempting or seducing him away from his duties.

Translator's Note

Literally, loyal advice jars the ear. It means that good advice often conflicts with our opinions and thus, may be difficult to accept. That is, “the truth is often hard to swallow”.

Translator's Note

Implying like sycophantic ministers, who flatter the emperor for selfish reasons. Like a yes-man, essentially.

Translator's Note

Amusement isn’t clear, like Meng Huan can’t tell why Lin Bozhou is amused.

Translator's Note

Can also carry a kind of mocking/taunting tone, like “You think that’s enough? How adorable.” The ambiguity is supposed to be funny here. If it was anyone else, it would be mocking, but since it’s Meng Huan, Lin Bozhou probably does find it cute that he is so dumb.

Translator's Note

Additional note, Lin Bozhou is speaking in a very casual manner, and even with a soft phrasing. This isn’t a command at all, and it came off more like a request (added question mark to help convey the tone). “Can you” can also achieve that, but they aren’t explicitly there.

Translator's Note

Short idiom. Literal translation is, too hard/rigid, breaks easily. Essentially anything that is too stiff is also very brittle, like being unbending will make things snap too easily, unable to weather any force placed on it.

Translator's Note

Originally is more like, “We, as in, Lu Nanxing, and me.”. This is spoken in a more hesitant/pausing manner, with commas in between.

Translator's Note

Not really an idiom, but it’s a very common saying. The basic idea is that one’s moral perfection/character should be dictated by their actions rather than their heart (in the context, it reads more like mental state or even intentions, and hinted as beliefs in the next line). It’s your actions that make you a good or bad person, not your thoughts/beliefs. Essentially, it’s saying that though Lin Bozhou and Ming Xueming are “opponents” politically speaking, Ming Xueming’s good character is shown through his actions regardless, and Lin Bozhou respects him for that despite their differing views.

Translator's Note

There’s a very particular implication that Lin Bozhou is saving to put Meng Xueming into position (be used) later, not that Meng Xueming inherently useless. It’s very clear that Lin Bozhou is waiting for the best moment.

Translator's Note

For background, they are usually His Majesty’s eyes and ears, and so is very valuable to the Emperor.

Translator's Note

This word could also be interpreted as “laughed”. The original host/Meng Huan could either gloat in joy or in laughter.

Translator's Note

Can also be translated it as, he had originally “seen”. Another one of these Character words has multiple meanings.

Translator's Note

The description is, with his hair down/loose (rather than tied up), making him appeared more “civilized”.

Translator's Note

Woof (recap, this is pinyin for dog)

  1. Now all I’m worried about is when he meets with his father! His personality has changed so his father will surely find something is wrong right? 😭

  2. GEEZ, I was so scared from the previous chapter that Lin Bozhou actually read the letters..I was worrying for nothing 😒

    Thanks for the chapter!

  3. I kind of like that Meng Huan was feeling affection for Lin Bozhou before he found out that he’s not really his father’s enemy. In fact, it sounds as though his young friends are bored and Meng Huan’s situation created interesting drama they could feed on as long as they can keep it going. I know that’s not all it is, but they definitely seem more interested than Meng Huan’s father does in getting any “revenge”.
