Chapter 255: Heart-to-heart

15days ago Historical fiction 5
Gu Qingyin was silent for a moment and sighed: I didn't expect that my father had been planning for King Jiangling for a long time, but in the end he had to rely on the Regent to clear him of his crimes.

Your father must have been excluded from his confidant by King Jiangling. Shangguan Rongqin whispered

Gu Qingyin's eyebrows thumped, you mean... no, my father has always been loyal to King Jiangling, this is something that everyone in the court knows

Shangguan Rongqin pushed the door lightly, lit the candlelight, reflecting the dim room, letting Gu Qingyin into the room, and continued: I'm afraid someone wanted to alienate the relationship between your father and King Jiangling, and King Jiangling was suspicious, and the accumulation of several seemingly insignificant trivial matters was enough to make him suspicious.

Disaster? Gu Qingyin murmured: This...

As he asked, Han Jinqing's handsome face flashed through her mind

My father is cautious and never gets into evil with others. She almost said tremblingly

Shangguan Rongqin said softly: But your father works for King Jiangling, and the factional disputes in the court are not uncommon

He walked to Gu Qingyin, helped her sit on the stool, pressed his palm lightly on her shoulder, silent for a moment, and said quietly: A Yin, the court has always been bizarre and changeable, and there are no eternal opponents, nor eternal allies.

Since you are an official, you must understand the rules of the officialdom. He looked at Gu Qingyin for a moment and walked slowly towards the window. If you don’t get into evil with others, you can’t tell that others will not get into evil with you. In the officialdom, sometimes you can’t help yourself.

If you want to gain a long-term foothold in the officialdom, you must first know how to protect yourself and not trust others easily. He looked out the window and let the cool night breeze in the courtyard blow through his hair and clothes.

Gu Qingyin stood up, looked at him with a daze in her eyes, and said lightly: Even you can't believe it?

Shangguan Rongqin paused slightly and said quietly: Don't believe it easily

Gu Qingyin's heart trembled. Before she could react, she had already walked behind him and hugged his waist tightly, her cheeks pressed against his broad back, and bit her lip and said: I insist on believing you, so what?

Shangguan Rongqin sighed softly, turned around, and hugged her slender shoulders. Ayin, sometimes I really don't want you to be an official

Isn’t being an official just to serve the court and benefit the people? Isn’t that good? Gu Qingyin said softly

Shangguan Rongqin kissed her gently and stepped back. OK, but this is not all. You are still young and too upright, and you finally see it too lightly.

Gu Qingyin leaned quietly in his arms and said for a moment: When my father had an accident, I also hated my incompetence.

A Yin, don't belittle yourself. He hugged her and leaned against the window, saying: In terms of the ability to do things as an official, you are also the best among female officials, but you have less experience and have not yet been involved in the real officialdom. It is rare to have such a thing in the Censorate.

He paused and continued: Before doing anything, you must be more cautious and considerate. You must not be reckless.

Gu Qingyin nodded. In recent years, she actually knew her problems. She was cold and not smooth enough. She didn't like to make friends. Although she had some political achievements, she was banned from the fifth rank, but she had almost no connections and had few personal relationships with others. Except for the few people who often deal with the Censorate, she was completely disgusted and insignificant in the court.

She also knew in her heart that as a female official, if she had not been influenced by her father in the court, how could she be able to be free and not be held captive by those power and interests factions?

My father is now unable to protect himself. Once the Gu family really loses power, can she gain a foothold in the officialdom by relying on her own abilities?

Even though she understood, she was always a little nervous, and her arms tightened even more.

Shangguan Rongqin naturally knew what she was thinking. He gently stroked her soft hair with his palms. You don’t need to worry too much, I will protect you.

Gu Qingyin felt warm. Over the years, even her father and elder brother had never said such heartfelt words to her. He was really considering her.
