However, it was all because the Prime Minister had lost his eldest daughter and was trying to comfort his already unstable wife. His health was getting worse and worse, and it was no wonder that his originally vigorous body was getting thinner and thinner.

It was unknown when the Prime Minister's career began to decline.

Even the Prime Minister's household believed that His Majesty had cut down the authority of the emperor because they knew that His Majesty had lost her beloved daughter.

Amongst them, the mother of a concubine who gave birth to a young miss, You Luoshen was the most proficient. Besides her own daughter Gu Qingcheng, she was a wealthy girl in the Prime Minister's Estate, but she did not have much feeling of existence. If nothing unexpected happened to a person like this, she would just die of old age.

Gu Qingcheng had already become an immortal cultivator, and her talent was extremely high. Coupled with the fact that she was beautiful, there were many people from the Prime Minister's Estate gathered around Aunt You.

Even Prince Hengyang, who had the reputation of the most beautiful man in the empire, Long Yu, had quietly rushed over to see his concubine in the middle of the night. At that time, Yue Yang loyally stood outside the door, afraid that someone would come, and out of curiosity, upon discovering that no one came to visit him, he stealthily put his ear under the door, wanting to hear what the shameless couple wanted to do.

Suddenly, he heard the disdainful voice of the young man inside the door: "Qingcheng, Royal Father has long held back against the Prime Minister. Before long, he will have an order. Prepare yourself."

"Big brother Long …" The young girl was slightly panicked, but there was also something unspeakable within her panic. "I wonder what will be ordered?"

"Qingcheng …" The man's entire body seemed to have gone limp from her voice. His already gentle voice was now even softer. However, his words were filled with poison and harshness. "It definitely isn't a good decree."

The young girl seemed to be extremely shocked and was unable to speak for a long time. When she spoke, she said, "I wonder where Mother and I are supposed to go?"

"As the future wangfei, you don't need me to teach you such a small thing …"

The rest of her words were completely ignored by Yue Lao. She tremblingly covered her mouth and remained strong and calm.

She had never thought that the Prime Minister, who was supposed to be omnipotent, would be feared by the emperor. Moreover, it wouldn't be long before a calamity befell the Prime Minister's estate!

Why did Yue Yang not dare to approach her anymore? Cold sweat covered her entire body and the moment she moved, she would scream out loud. She could not scream because there was still Hengyang King and Young Miss Hengyang.

After midnight, only then did King Hengyang arrogantly walk out of Gu Qingcheng's room, touching her who was at the door. His eyes immediately became a bit gloomy as he smiled without meaning. Under her forced calmness, he headed in the direction he came from.

Yue Ye heaved a sigh of relief secretly, thinking that he did not notice anything amiss with her.

However, in the next moment, her heart leaped into her throat.

"Yue, what do you think?"

The voice was soft and gentle, but Yue Lao felt that there was a real knife hidden within the gentleness!

As long as she dared to shout, the knife would pierce into her heart!

"Young, young miss …" She stiffly turned around and saw a young girl wearing a white dress with a gentle face smiling at her. She was obviously a beauty that could topple empires, but it made her tremble with fear.

"I'm asking Yue, is everything alright?" The young girl didn't bother to expose her feigned calmness.

"Your servant didn't hear anything." Yue Lao gritted her teeth as she denied it, "This servant doesn't dare to listen to Miss's door. Miss, if you have any complaints, you can definitely punish them." The meaning in his words was, do not attempt to add to the crime.

"Didn't you hear it?" As though she was amused by her lie, the young girl covered her lips as she smiled with an indescribable innocence. Her pair of clear eyes made Yue Ma regret her lie in the next moment.

The young girl gently pushed away her hair that was blown by the night wind. "Yue, are you sure you didn't hear that?"

Under the gaze of those eyes, the cold sweat on Yue Lao's forehead became more and more clear. It was obvious whether he was lying or not.

"Miss!" The most important thing was that if she wanted to live, the Prime Minister's Estate would no longer be a place to settle down. Only this concubine Missus would be able to follow Prince Hengyang and break a thread of hope, so she wanted to take a gamble.

"Miss, this servant did hear it, but this servant is afraid." Yue Yang kept kowtowing to Gu Qingcheng, kowtowing so hard that blood flowed profusely. He said incoherently: "Please don't worry Miss, this old servant's heart is with you and Aunt. I won't tell anyone."

The girl in white merely looked at her and ignored her words. Yue Lao's heart sank. 'Miss is trying to …'

"Miss …" "This old servant is willing to do anything for you and auntie. Please trust this old servant!"

"Do anything?" Gu Qingcheng murmured these words as her elegant face finally revealed her first true smile of the night. She looked at Yue Yang thoughtfully, "Are you really willing to do anything for us?"

Yue Lao knew full well that strange tigers were hard to deal with, so he could only bite the bullet and charge forward. "This old servant doesn't care!"

"Alright!" Gu Qingcheng walked up to him and propped him up. She then comforted him, "Do you have anything to say tonight? Qingcheng is happy to hear it? Since you've already made it clear, no matter what the result is, will Qingcheng promise you that she'll ensure your safety?"

Yue Lao was overjoyed and was grateful. Wasn't he risking his life like this to fulfill this promise? Now that she had obtained it safely, she was extremely happy. However, for some reason, she felt unease in her heart.

Would this beautiful, even more outstanding, young lady out of a concubine really make her withdraw?

She did not know why she was looking for her in the middle of the night, but that Blue Lo had actually given her a yellow paper cube with a string of words written on it that she did not recognize. Blue River had told her that, no matter what, she had to go to the herb shop in the city to catch these medicinal herbs before noon tomorrow, saying that it was because Miss Shu had appeared in the past few days that her body needed some time to recuperate.

At that time, Yue Yang didn't think too much, he was only thinking a little weirdly. Tomorrow was the day when King Hengyang would come to the Prime Minister's Palace to interview.
