Chapter 705
"Master Wang regards the lives of the people as nothing. This is wrong. Your Majesty has done nothing wrong."
Everyone was stunned, not expecting Sima Lian to say this.
"Prime Minister..."
"If you are dissatisfied, you can report it to His Majesty."
Sima Lian interrupted everyone's words and left the hall first, leaving the civil servants looking at each other in confusion.
They originally thought that Sima Lian would definitely do something about this matter, but now Sima Lian's attitude left them confused.
Looking at the imperial guards behind them, all the civil servants felt that this was not a place to talk, so they dispersed after hesitating for a moment.
However, what everyone didn't know was that as soon as they left, everything they said and did was put on the emperor's agenda.
On the way back, Sima Lian still had the emperor's expression in his mind.
In addition, Vice General Liu had not shown up for many days, which made Sima Lian feel inexplicably uneasy.
Although the Eighth Prince and Princess Chaoyang had said that there was nothing wrong with Vice Admiral Liu, Sima Lian still felt that it was not safe.
It would be fine if Vice General Liu recuperated for a day or two, but now more than half a month has passed, which made Sima Lian have to doubt.
In particular, Vice General Liu was the one who hated the civil servants' negotiation for peace. Every time the peace negotiation was mentioned in court, Vice General Liu would definitely quarrel with the civil servants.
With Lieutenant General Liu's temperament, how could he hold his temper for so long?
Isn't he afraid that the emperor will agree to the civil servants' peace proposal?
Lieutenant General Liu was naturally afraid. He had been an official in the same dynasty for so many years, so how could Sima Lian not know Lieutenant General Liu's character?
Now that Vice General Liu is like this, how can Sima Lian not be suspicious?
But Sima Lian knew these things in his heart, but could not tell the people around him.
Now that the capital is in chaos, no one knows who will listen to these words.
After Sima Lian returned to the study, he was silent for a long time before getting up.
"Come on."
The guard guarding the door immediately opened the door and entered, "Let those who go out to inquire for information pay more attention to the Liu Mansion these days. If there is any movement in the Liu Mansion, report it immediately."
"Yes."
Although the guards feel that there is no need to keep an eye on the Liu Mansion now, after all, the Liu Mansion is the quietest place in the capital.
But since Sima Lian gave the order, he did not dare to disobey.
Sima Lian originally thought that by sending people out to keep an eye on the Liu family, he would feel more at ease.
Unexpectedly, the guard had just left the house when the steward came.
Seeing the steward, Sima Lian's heart skipped a beat.
Ever since he brought Murong Ting back that day, he had been coaxing her for a long time before she calmed down.
During this time, the situation in the capital was tense. In order to cause unnecessary trouble, Sima Lian even asked his personal steward to personally watch the backyard.
Now that the steward came, it was obvious that something happened in the backyard.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
In order for his son to survive safely, he suddenly lost his mind and attacked Murong Ting.
But this incident also made Sima Lian understand that now, whether it is Princess Chaoyang, the Eighth Prince, or even the Taifu Mansion, they can all contain him.
He didn't like the feeling of being restrained, but for the sake of his son who managed to survive, Sima Lian endured this matter.
"Madam said she would make a tonic soup for you today. I hope you can go and see it."
"Let's go and have a look."
Sima Lian was already upset at this time and didn't want to say too much to Mrs. Sima.
But he also knew that as long as the old master was still here, he had to treat Murong Ting with utmost respect.
Thinking of this, Sima Lian couldn't help but sigh.
Before, he had thought about having a good talk with Murong Ting and keeping the child in her name in the future.
But after this incident, Sima Lian also saw Murong Ting's character and knew if Murong Ting really knew about this matter.
Not only would Murong Ting not let that child in, she wouldn't even let him live, let alone keep it in her name in the future.
Thinking of his deceased wife, Sima Lian felt sad.
I originally thought that Sima Lian would no longer be concerned about him at this time, but I didn't expect that they actually had a child.
Sima Lian closed his eyes, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and then entered the backyard.
When Murong Ting saw Sima Lian, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.
Although she also knew in her heart that Sima Lian's friendship with her was not very deep.
But as long as she stayed by his side, she was content.
"Master is here, try this soup quickly. I simmered it for three hours and it tastes very delicious."
Sima Lian's eyes flickered, and when he looked at Murong Ting, there was an imperceptible disgust in his eyes.
Thinking that the matter of his deceased wife seemed to be related to the Murong family, Sima Lian's expression became even colder.
This matter was also a clue he found some time ago. Although there was no evidence to prove that it was related to the Murong family, the presence of the Murong family in that place at that time made him unable to ignore it.
"Thank you ma'am."
Sima Lian sat down calmly and thanked Murong Ting.
But his expression was calm, and he didn't show any gratitude at all.
Murong Ting didn't care either. After she sent people to the Eighth Prince's Mansion to cause trouble that day, and after Sima Lian attacked her, the layer of paper between them was finally broken.
The reason why she followed Sima Lian back was because she couldn't let go of the man she had been happy with for most of her life.
"What kind of polite words can there be between us husband and wife?"
Sima Lian didn't say anything more, but lowered his head to taste the soup. The couple was speechless.
But Murong Ting felt very satisfied, especially after seeing Sima Lian really drink the soup she made, she felt even more happy.
"Master, let's have a child. I can't bear that you...have no children."
Murong Ting thought of what her aunt had said to her before, and thought that she might try to discuss the matter with Sima Lian.
I heard that none of Sima Lian's previous wives had children. If she can give Sima Lian a child now, then she will become Sima Lian's real wife.
Thinking of this, Murong Ting felt a little bitter in her heart.
Although they have been married to Sima Lian for so many years, the two of them have always treated each other with respect.Rather than being a couple, it is more appropriate to say that they are partners.
Murong Ting also thought that she could get closer to Sima Lian. After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to talk to Sima Lian about the matter.
When Sima Lian heard Murong Ting's words, his eyes suddenly darkened.
Murong Ting didn't have such thoughts before, and she never even mentioned the heir to him.
Now he suddenly wanted a child, which made Sima Lian have to wonder if there was any instigation from the Murong family behind this.
Thinking of the secret reports sent back by those people a few days ago, Sima Lian's hand holding the spoon tightened a little.
