When Xi Men Ren heard these words, his gaze turned cold. Then, he said coldly, "Zi Yun, don't worry. I will send someone over tomorrow. You must kill that old thief to avenge you."

"No, no, Young Master, I just want you to come personally, because if you were the one who avenged me, I would be able to completely put my heart at ease. Although Zi Yun is a worldly woman, he still knows a bit about tutoring." However, Zi Yuan already had a plan in mind, so he said this.

"Alright, I'll go personally tomorrow. However, don't you worry, I won't let him see me." Xi Men Ren agreed immediately after hearing what Zi Yuan said. No matter what Zi Yuan said, he could not refuse.

As for Zi Yuan, after discussing some countermeasures with Xi Men Ren, he returned to the Prime Minister's residence. Mo Feng had returned early, while Zi Yuan was already sprinkling water in the garden.

"Ziyun, your performance these few days has been quite good. If you have any requests, tell me. I will definitely allow it."

Due to the performance of the Violet Garden these past few days, Mo Feng had long been interested in it. He felt that this woman was truly not bad. At this moment, he was actually trying to make the Violet Garden submit by giving her a sweet taste.

However, Zi Yuan said, "Sir, I, Zi Yun, am truly grateful for the Prime Minister's kindness. For him to be able to give Zi Yun a place to settle down, I cannot thank him enough. How can he have so many requests?"

After speaking, the Violet Garden bowed slightly, but deliberately revealed a hesitant expression. Since Mo Feng was able to become Prime Minister, he naturally had a hint of understanding. At that moment, Mo Feng saw the expression on his face.

Thus, Mo Feng said in a heroic tone, "Zi Yun, do you have something that's hard to say? Tell me about it."

"Ai, it's best if we don't bother the prime minister. This young lady's life is already extremely fortunate to be able to work here for the prime minister. How could I ask for anything else?" Zi Yuan continued to pretend to be pitiful as he spoke.

"Don't worry. You have the guts to say that if something were to happen to you while you were here, it would only be natural for me to stand up for you." Mo Feng said heroically.

When Zi Yuan saw Mo Feng say this, she knew that Mo Feng had already taken the bait, so she blurted out, "Sir, you are so loyal, and this little girl is truly convinced. The matter is like this, earlier, when I was still in my future as an assistant minister's house, Young Master Xi Men took a fancy to me and wanted me to marry her.

At this moment, the Violet Garden wanted to blame Ximen Ren. That was one of their thoughts. In the Violet Garden's plan, Ximen Ren could be considered to be an extremely important person.

"Oh? To think that there would be such a thing, he was simply a scoundrel. "Don't worry. When I return tomorrow from burning incense at the stone temple, I will seek justice for you!"

"T-this isn't good. Lord Vice Minister of Rites, if news of you helping a maid spreads out, although Zi Yun knows that you're a good person, other people wouldn't do such a thing?"

When Mo Feng heard that the Violet Garden was thinking for him in such a manner, he couldn't help but have a better impression of her. Thus, he said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Alright, you can continue working on it. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Mo Feng turned around and left after saying that, while in his heart Mo Feng was thinking, "Tomorrow after I take care of Xi Men Ren, I'll talk to you again. If that's the case, even if you have a thousand reasons, you won't dare to reject me, not to mention I'm only the official minister in charge of the government, but everyone knows that all the officials in the world belong to me. A mere Xi Men Ren is nothing in my eyes."

On the second day, Mo Feng called for a servant to go to the West City Temple to burn some incense in the early morning, which was a habit of Mo Feng's. He would go to the West City Temple once a month to burn incense to pray that he could continue to be strong in the West Kingdom of Li, and that was only on the surface. He had to show it to others and tell them that his heart was devoted to Buddha, that he was a benefactor, and that was what the outside world thought.

On the other side, Ximen Ren had long since brought his men to ambush them. When he saw that the Prime Minister's sedan had already arrived, he called out, "Get on."

Following which, a group of masked men immediately rushed over. With a bang, the leader of the masked men took the lead and stabbed out one of Mo Feng's subordinates. After that, Mo Feng's subordinate reacted and shouted, "There is an assassin, protect the Prime Minister!" Soon after, Mo Feng's closest two bodyguards actually simultaneously drew their swords and rushed over. Behind them, there was someone who had yet to move! These three people were Mo Feng's personal guards, and this was also the reason why the Violet Garden had never dared to make a move. Because the Violet Garden knew how powerful these three people were, she could only use wits to stop them!

However, Zi Yuan had been watching from the sidelines the entire time. He knew that Xi Men Ren was destined not to succeed this time, and she had never thought of letting Xi Men Ren kill Mo Feng like this, because Xi Men Ren's father was Xi Men Qing!

She was also one of the people that the Violet Garden wanted to kill. She was just sitting back and watching the fight, enjoying the benefits of the situation. When he saw how brave the two of them were, and also knew that his plan had failed. Just as he was about to turn around and flee, Zi Yuan took out a concealed weapon and stabbed at his black mask as if he was piercing through the air.

When Mo Feng opened the curtain and saw that it was Xi Men Ren who had attempted to assassinate him, he slapped his palanquin fiercely. "Good, good. Xi Men Ren, you actually dared to attack me.

Following which, Mo Feng bellowed, 'Capture that thief alive for me!' Indeed, although Prime Minister Mo Feng was the Minister of Rites, Ximen Ren's father was also a Minister in the imperial court. Moreover, he had rebelled with him. He could not kill him that easily.

Thus, Mo Feng didn't have the leader number to kill without mercy and said he would capture them alive. With such a scheming mind, he would kill two birds with one stone. It could be seen that this Minister of Rites wasn't for nothing.

How could a good-for-nothing like Xi Men Ren defend against this menacing personal guard? He was immediately grabbed by the two of them, one arm in each hand, and after he failed to break free, Xi Men Ren knew that he was facing a great calamity.

Yesterday, he had said that he needed to properly deal with this Ximen Ren, but the other party had actually attacked him. Mo Feng had thought that it was not hard to imagine that it was because of Zi Yuan, and once he thought about how Ximen Ren dared to attack him over a woman, it was as if he did not know what was good for him. Thus, Mo Feng's temper had also turned into anger, and right after Ximen Ren had been captured alive and brought to the residence, he had sent an invitation to Ximen Qing to tell him what had happened today.

"Today, I was planning to head to the west city to burn incense when Young Master Xi Men attacked me without any reason and actually tried to kill me. I was infuriated. If you want to exchange your son's life, then please prepare to come tonight!"

When Xi Men Qing received this invitation at home, he nearly fainted and fell down. He kept mumbling: "This evil creature, this evil creature!"

If something were to happen to his son in the hands of the Minister of Rites' Assistant Minister, he would likely not even have the chance to send his son to his death. When he thought of this, he did not care about his own heartache anymore and hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare a palanquin to head towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The Violet Garden also knew that Ximen Ren was currently in the Prime Minister's residence. Since Ximen Ren had already entered, then in the heart of the Violet Garden, Ximen Ren no longer had any use. After that, she quietly entered the backyard of the Prime Minister's Estate. At this moment, Xi Men Ren was lying there with a deathly pale face and his hands tied tightly behind his back. When Zi Yuan entered, it was as if Xi Men Ren had discovered life-saving grasses.

"Ziyun ah, you're finally here. Hurry, help me untie it, and then the two of us can run away." When Xi Men Ren saw that Zi Yuan had come at this time, he was still fantasizing about how this woman had some conscience and knew that she was here to save him. However, Zi Yuan merely smiled coldly at him.

"Young master Xi Men, you're thinking too much. Run?" "Where do you think you're going? It's not bad to make a grave here." The Violet Garden said with a cold smile.

Just as he was about to speak, Zi Yuan took out his purple concealed weapon. However, the moment Zi Yuan took out his concealed weapon, Xi Men Ren understood everything, because this concealed weapon was the reason why he had been captured today. Just as Xi Men Ren was about to say something, Zi Yuan had already struck him dead.

Xi Men Ran was dead!

In Mo Fenggong's residence, Ximen Qing was trembling as he sat beside his hand. He bitterly said, "Lord Mo, my son was momentarily muddle-headed and asked the Prime Minister to let him go. Please, we are on the same path."

Up till now, Xi Men Qing still did not know what had happened to his son. However, thinking about it, since his son was in the Prime Minister's Residence, he could not explain anything. Right now, the only thing he could hope for was that the person in front of him, seeing that the two of them were on the same rope, would give him face by opening up a bit.

He had worked together with Mo Feng for many years, so he wasn't clear about anything else. However, he was well aware of Mo Feng's vengeful nature. Furthermore, his ability was far superior to his own, so he could only lower his head and pray for his son's safety.

However, he didn't expect Mo Feng to reply with such cold words.

"Lord Ximen, I'm afraid you've gone senile. It's your son who's going to assassinate me right now. Are you still asking me if I can get away with it?"

Hearing Mo Feng's words, Ximen Qing's heart fell. However, he did not dare to say anything else and could only beg.

"Lord Mo, there must have been a misunderstanding. I hope that Lord Mo can let my son out to explain it to his face. That's the truth."

After all, the reason was all here. In fact, right now, in the imperial court, Xi Men Qing could be considered as a life supporting minister, so if he were to easily kill Xi Men Ren now, it would probably cause him quite a bit of trouble. Therefore, Mo Feng did not say anything and had his servants bring Xi Men Ren over.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw a servant rushing over and say, "Sir, Young Master Xi Men, Young Master Xi Men, Young Master Xi Men is dead." After the servant finished speaking, he actually kneeled down on the ground in fear while trembling in fear.

"What?" What did you say? "

When Xi Men Qing heard that his son had died, he stood up in anger but could not stop it. His heart chilled. His only son had died in the Prime Minister's Palace just like that.

When Mo Feng heard this news, he was also stunned. Then, he shouted loudly, "You bastard, you actually dared to attack Young Master Xi Men in private! "Bastard, come and kill him on the spot if you drag him down." However, there was nothing he could do. It was impossible for his servants to deceive him, but there had to be an excuse for this matter, and even though Mo Feng thought of this servant of his as someone who was responsible for taking on the blame for his death, Xi Men Qing was looking at him with a face full of hatred. His eyes were empty, clearly showing that his son's death was extremely painful in his heart right now.

"Mo Feng, you're quite the ruthless one. I, Xi Men Qing, have never offended you in the imperial court before. Why are you so heartless? Alright, since you're so heartless, then don't blame me for being unjust." It was evident that Xi Men Qing had been provoked by Mo Feng at this moment. Immediately, he shouted at Mo Feng hysterically.

When Mo Feng saw how Ximen Qing was acting, he knew that there was nothing he could do about it, so he said, "Other than us, there were plenty of people who saw what happened this morning. If you don't believe me, you can ask those outsiders about it.

At this moment, Xi Men Qing had already suffered a heavy blow. However, when he heard Mo Feng's words, his eyes were filled with unspeakable hatred and hatred. At this moment, this so called rebel Minister was filled with unspeakable anger. In that case, you, Mo Feng, must pay with your life for my son. As for Mo Feng's strength, it was indeed very strong. This was not a matter of the moment. Thus, Xi Men Qing needed to think of a way to deal with this.

As for the Violet Garden, the one with the greatest profit from this matter, she was lying on the roof of the great hall, waiting for the right moment to kill her with a single strike.
