The sky was dyed with night, and everything was shrouded in deep black. Only one room in the Prime Minister's estate had candles lit up.
"The Prime Minister is in trouble. There was news from the palace that Imperial Concubine had been wrongly accused of colluding with the Ninth Prince. Moreover, the news has already spread far and wide. Before long, everyone outside the palace will know as well. " The man in black said hastily. The moment he received the message from Liu Chugrong, he rushed over.
When Prime Minister Liu heard the news that was sent back by his subordinates, he could not help but clap the table in anger. "Who spread the news!? Could it be that he's too bold, and doesn't even put our Prime Minister's Estate in his eyes? " His voice slowly grew deep, and he slumped into a chair, mumbling to himself.
His eyes were filled with rage. He had sided with Fu Huaiyu, but now that news had come over, what should he do? The emperor would definitely think of him. After all, his daughter could represent him. Furthermore, he had always been able to endure it patiently and was always on guard against everything. He would definitely not let anyone see anything amiss. Just what was going on!?
The people under his command lowered their heads and pretended not to hear anything. This was a conspiracy! It would be fine if he succeeded, but what if he failed? It was a matter that involved the nine families!
However, Prime Minister Liu did not avoid him. After all, he knew that there was only one path for these people, and that was to follow him onto this path, or perhaps expose him. However, their families were all in his hands, so he was not afraid that this matter would be exposed!
He calmed himself down and calmed down a little. He then instructed the people under him, "Go and find out if this information is true or false. See how it is spread!"
Squinting his eyes, the black-clothed man dispersed the fear on his face, and said with a cold voice. "Yes, Prime Minister." After which, he left the Prime Minister's Estate.
Prime Minister Liu squinted his eyes as a trace of light flashed across his eyes. He had to do something! If Fu Yuheng were to find out everything, not only would Fu Huaiyu be unable to escape his death sentence, he definitely wouldn't let him and his daughter live on in this world!
Inside the palace, Fu Yuheng was revising the imperial reports. Sun Ning went forward and whispered in his ear.
His eyes were filled with danger, but he casually replied, "Oh? Is that so? "If it's really as you say, why don't I prepare a proper gift of thanks?" After a moment of sluggishness, he continued to review the memorial. There were a lot of things happening today, so he wondered if tomorrow's morning assembly would be just as interesting.
Sun Ning did not say anything, he knew that he shouldn't say too much, after all, the Emperor's choice could not be changed by others. He simply bowed down and quietly waited for him to finish his review.
About two hours later, Fu Yuheng had finished correcting the imperial edict on the desk. He put down the brush, and Sun Ning immediately got the palace maids to clean it up. Picking up the cup of hot tea on the table, he took a sip and asked casually, "What is she doing now?" This news had most likely come from her. There was probably no one else in the palace who knew of this matter, but by doing so, it was obvious that she had his own plans.
Sun Ning followed beside Fu Yuheng for many years, as he clearly knew the meaning behind his words. He lowered his head and replied, "The Empress is in her chambers …" His love for Shen Qingwan was well-known. However, there were still rumors flying all over the harem, and he still had the mood to ask about her. Could this have something to do with her? Sun Ning did not understand, but he kept quiet and did not ask.
After Fu Yuheng asked this question, he fell silent for a while. With a trace of affection on his face, he mumbled to himself, "I suppose she must be having quite the time, right?" After a moment of silence, her fingers caressed the Dragon Throne, "She has already done this. It looks like she will be able to relax a little. However, this snake should have already left its cave."
He fell into his own deep thoughts, and Sun Ning did not say anything to disturb him. She maintained her posture, and did not feel tired either. After all, this was the emperor. No matter what, he had to have a servant by his side.
"What do you think will happen?" He suddenly asked, startling Sun Ning.
Towards his question, Sun Ning did not know how to answer, but he had to say, "This old servant thinks that the Emperor should not let this news spread, it would be detrimental to the dignity of the Imperial Family." he whispered.
"Oh? It would harm the face of the royal family, but I think that they are setting a long line for a big fish. Who can say if the Ninth Prince and the Prime Minister Liu have any designs on each other? " He looked out of the window. "I'm tired. You can leave first."
I wonder if Shen Qingwan's move can cause Prime Minister Liu and Ninth Brother to show their faces? I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully, I won't disappoint him!
The next day, Tuoba Min walked leisurely around the imperial garden with a few palace maids by her side. The palace maids on both sides were giving her access to the imperial concubines. Just as she talked about Imperial Consort Liu, Tuoba Min thought about the latest news that came out. She impatiently waved her hand, and said unhappily: "Imperial Consort Liu? Heh, she's just a brainless woman. It's said that she is involved with the Ninth Prince. How could the Emperor allow such a woman to enter the palace? "
They, Mongolian, had never seen such a woman, a woman who had second thoughts towards her husband.
She was suddenly covered up by the palace maid, "Mistress, you can't say that. If anyone hears about it, it will lead to a fatal disaster. Furthermore, Imperial Consort Liu is the daughter of the Prime Minister Liu, with a high position and authority.
Tuoba Min raised her eyebrows, disagreeing. She had the Mongolian as her backing, and Shen Qingwan and Fu Yuheng were protecting her, so why should she be afraid?
In the imperial garden, Liu Chugrong was venting her anger at a bunch of fresh flowers. Rumors about her and the Ninth Prince flew all over the palace. What should she do now? His father had yet to send him a reply, so he should have already begun to investigate.
However, she was still a bit worried. After all, she was the emperor's concubine, yet she had caused such a thing. If she did not implicate her father, then it would be easier for her to rely on her father's tree, but if it involved her father's interests, she would definitely give up on him. However, this matter was not only related to her, but also to Fu Huaiyu and the entire Liu Estate!
As he thought of this, his face darkened. She wanted to vent her anger, but she had to pretend that nothing was wrong. If she got angry, someone would start a rumor.
However, she did not expect to hear the sounds of discussion from the garden. She slowly walked over, stepping on the petals.
There was a bit of anger in her eyes. Even the imperial concubines knew about this, but no one dared to loudly discuss it. Furthermore, these words could be used to punish a crime of slandering the imperial family's face. He never thought that there would be someone who would be so happy about it.
The closer they got, the clearer her words became, "Imperial Consort Liu actually dared to confront Ninth Prince, then he wants to betray your majesty! "We should just immerse ourselves in the pig cages." Tuoba Min continued speaking, and did not sense her approach in the slightest.
