Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1233

Even if the Taoist priest did nothing at all, it would be enough for the emperor to have any suspicions.

This is what is known as "free evaluation of evidence".

There is another possibility: production was successful!

This problem is even more terrifying!

Children naturally have lower immunity.

Add to that the bizarre customs and practices of this world that put people to the test.

It's quite remarkable that this little kid, who was subjected to such a ordeal, survived.

Kyosuke Kousaka would certainly not consider such a possibility.

"If Teishi successfully gives birth to a child, and problems arise with this child, the cause can still be traced back to Shonagon."

After this very certain guess flashed through Kousaka Kyosuke's mind, his determination to take Sei Shonagon away as soon as possible naturally became even stronger.

Although there is currently no death penalty for nobles under the law.

But the mere thought of being exiled to a barbarian land was enough to cause immense suffering.

To summarize simply...

Unless Dingzi and the children she gave birth to remain safe and sound.

Otherwise, Sei Shonagon's lover would definitely be in trouble!

So Kyosuke Kousaka might as well just marry her now.

"It seems there's no other way. I never imagined things would get this complicated..."

Sei Shonagon let out a deep sigh and finally spoke.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "Life here is exciting, but of course it's also very complicated. Everything is relative."

"I suddenly realized that Kyosuke-sama's attitude is the right one."

"You must have noticed it a long time ago, right? You just didn't think about it carefully."

"Kyosuke-sama, being too quick-witted can be a turn-off."

Sei Shonagon slightly turned her face away.

Her pretty face showed some unhappiness, but Kousaka Kyosuke felt that it was more like she was deliberately showing her unhappiness.

However, Kousaka Kyosuke was even more surprised that Sei Shonagon had somehow become a girl who liked to give scores.

This is probably related to the fact that Kyosuke Kousaka had inadvertently mentioned in a letter that Komachi liked to give herself a score.

Looking at it this way, I might find myself being frequently criticized by Sei Shonagon in the future.

Fortunately, Kyosuke Kousaka was very experienced in dealing with such situations.

"To paraphrase a phrase no one likes—this is for your own good."

"Kyosuke-sama, if you're trying to make me laugh, please stop with your banter."

"See, you're smiling now, aren't you?"

Kousaka Kyosuke gazed at Sei Shonagon's slightly pouting lips, noting that the corners of her mouth were now slightly upturned.

He immediately realized that the girl had quickly adjusted her emotions.

“Then I’ll take care of it,” Kousaka Kyosuke continued.

Sei Shonagon, who still wanted to speak, suddenly became timid again.

"So fast...?"

"Because the matter is quite serious, and now that I've met with you again, the problem might become even more serious tomorrow."

"Alright, I'll say goodbye to Lord Dingzi now."

Sei Shonagon herself made her decision very quickly.

"If this continues, I might not want to go back anymore..."

Sei Shonagon knew that she was a very emotional person.

They might really break their promise.

However, considering that she and Kyosuke Kosaka were already lovers, she had to make a firm decision immediately.

If any problems arise, it might implicate Kyosuke Kousaka as well.

—Yes, ever since the last herb-gathering incident, Sei Shonagon has completely lost faith in the integrity of certain people.

She even had no doubt that some despicable politicians could use her to implicate Kyosuke Kousaka.

If such a situation were to occur, it would be too late to regret it.

"Then I'll use my connections to have someone speak to Lord Yizhou on his behalf."

"Lord Yizhou wouldn't be so petty."

Sei Shonagon said helplessly.

As a lady-in-waiting to the emperor, she certainly spoke with Ichiju.

Therefore, there is still some assessment of Yi Zhou's personality.

He believed that the son of the former Kanpaku was not all that bad.

"But when it comes to crucial issues, I can't overestimate people."

Kyosuke Kosaka said vaguely.

It involves politics and power.

Not to mention acquaintances, they can kill even their own relatives without batting an eye!

Let's take a closer look.

Yi Zhou's problem wasn't just a lack of ability, but mainly a lack of ruthlessness.

This is the main point.

Looking at the lessons of history, Kyosuke Kosaka felt that he should not underestimate Ichiju.

Who knows, maybe Yi Zhou will come to his senses someday.

However, this has nothing to do with Kyosuke Kousaka.

At this moment.

Kousaka Kyosuke wanted to take Sei Shonagon back with him.

Far from the political center of the palace, there were all sorts of controversies and troubles.

After that.

Kyosuke Kosaka then took action.

Sei Shonagon was no different from other ordinary female officials.

She is definitely the number one singer with a strong presence.

She's probably indispensable at many banquets and parties on weekdays, setting the mood for the event.

Is Dingzi really willing to let her leave?

Kyosuke Kosaka believes he definitely can't bear to part with it.

Based on historical records and what Kyosuke Kousaka witnessed at that time.

Teishi and Sei Shonagon shared a deep friendship.

If that's the case, then we should let Sei Shonagon leave even more.

Isn't it a bit unreasonable to wish a friend happiness?

"You managed to snag the most famous young lady in the palace on just one trip to the palace. You're really something."

Fujiwara no Michitsuna chuckled and teased.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "This is to eliminate any lingering concerns. I was a little scared after what happened before."

"Well, there's nothing wrong with what you're doing. No one can guarantee that some people won't continue to make stupid mistakes."

Fujiwara no Michitsuna gave a wry smile.

He wasn't at all averse to scheming and backstabbing.

But if it were a special period, he would wish that nothing at all would happen!

Anyway.

If internal conflicts erupt during this period, problems may arise in the struggle at the front.

That would be truly disastrous.

There's no way to undo it now.

Therefore, it is definitely not a bad thing that Kyosuke Kosaka was able to deal with some potential problems in advance.

"Come visit my home again in a few days."
