Menzi grinned and said, "You laugh like you're crying. Tell me, which family's maid are you?"

Chunfu said: "I am Chuntao, the girl next to the empress, and now I have something to do with the empress looking for the prime minister."

As soon as he heard about the queen, Menzi poked his head out of the door quickly, looking around with bony eyes, and he saw that Rong Changan's car was very bright and luxurious.

"What is the reason why the queen is looking for the prime minister?" Menzi asked again.

Chuntao was not happy: "Why are you like your master, you are suspicious! Ask all kinds of questions, the queen came to find the prime minister in person, naturally there is something important, you go and pass it on!"

Menzi giggled and said: "I'm sorry, sister, Prime Minister Yan has told you to ask who is here and what he is doing before letting people into the prime minister's mansion. I am a servant, so I have to listen to my master, otherwise I will lose my job." .Do you think so? I’m going to communicate now, the prime minister is practicing sword in the garden!”

"What is Yan Li doing?" Rong Changan asked after Chuntao came back.

Chuntao said what Menzi had said. Rong Chang'an thought to himself, Yan Li must keep a low profile, every day he must hear the rooster dance and accumulate strength, and if he does not sing, he will be a blockbuster.

After a while, Menzi came back, bowed, and kneeled respectfully in front of Rong Changan's car, hesitant to speak.

"The prime minister... he said..."

Menzi's tongue seemed to be tied up, and he couldn't speak a complete sentence.

"What happened to Yan Li?" Rong Changan asked.

Menzi also didn't know why Yan Li would be so cold towards the queen. Offending the queen is equivalent to offending the emperor, which is too much to bear!

"The prime minister said... that he didn't want to see the queen."

Rong Changan snorted coldly, he really regarded her as the murderer of the former prime minister, and rejected her for the so-called "justice".

"This Yan Li is too presumptuous! He is just a prime minister, so arrogant, he is not afraid that the queen will tell the emperor!" Chuntao chimed in.

Menzi's forehead was dripping with sweat: "I don't know what happened to the prime minister today..."

Rong Changan naturally knew what happened to Yan Li today.

"You go and pass it on again, saying that it is the emperor's order to let him follow me into the palace to meet the queen mother. If he dares to disobey the order, be careful that the emperor will remove his position!"

Menzi then went back to tell Rong Changan what Yan Li had said, and Yan Li came out to greet him after a long time of ideological struggle.

"You're so stubborn that you didn't even come out to see Ben Gong, Yan Li, did you lose your guts because of ambition?"

"I'm really sorry, Empress. Menzi didn't make it clear just now. I thought it was some murderous executioner who came to see me. You know, I hate seeing these people the most." Yan Li lowered his head, his face darkened, The corners of the eyes wrinkled in disgust.

"Hahaha," Rong Changan laughed, a little nervously, "Even if one day I become an executioner, you still have to come out to see Bengong."

"Resolutely not see!" Yan Li raised his eyes and bravely met Rong Changan's gaze. But every time he looked at Rong Chang'an, his eyes would always show tenderness.

Rong Changan looked triumphantly into the distance: "Aren't you coming out to see me now?"

Yan Li's face turned red, and he was taken aback for a while, before he gritted his teeth and said, "This is the last time!"

Rong Changan was full of confidence: "Prime Minister, I dare to bet you that once there is a first time, there must be a second time. If you want to avoid seeing me, it is absolutely impossible. The ugly words are up front. If you I saw you, but you didn't come out, so I sent someone to pick off all the bricks and glazed tiles belonging to the prime minister, to see where you can hide."

Yan Li could do nothing but grit his teeth.

"Okay, don't be angry," Rong Changan comforted Yan Li. She knew that he had a lot of self-esteem, so she didn't want to provoke him too much. "Our conversation is about to become a drama! I'm here to go with you. See the Queen Mother's…”

Suddenly, Yan Li's eyes lit up, and he said to Rong Chang'an, "Queen, can I have a private talk with you?"

"It's you who refuse to see me, but it's not that I don't want to see you."

"Very good, in the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Yan Li has something to tell you."

Without letting anyone follow, Rong Changan followed Yan Li to the back garden.

The sweet-scented osmanthus is scattered, the swing is horizontal, and the narrow path is covered with little moss.

"It seems that the prime minister seldom comes to enjoy the flowers in the back garden." Rong Changan said.

Yan Li stopped in a pavilion: "How do you know that I don't often come to the garden to see flowers?"

Rong Changan pointed to the moss on the path: "If you often come to see flowers, how can there be moss growing? I'm curious, where do you go to practice your sword if you don't practice your sword in the back garden?"

Yan Li said: "I have my own martial arts hall."

"Oh?" Rong Chang'an said, "You actually have a martial arts hall. It seems that you never forget to restore the former court..."

"Shut up!" Yan Li quickly grabbed Rong Changan's neck with a grabbing hand, Rong Changan did not evade, "I run the martial arts hall, it's just a hobby, don't talk nonsense!"

Yan Li's dark eyes flashed with ice-cold anger, and the two small flames burned for a while, then disappeared without a trace. He was very annoyed, why he couldn't hate the woman standing in front of him.

"What nonsense am I talking about?" Rong Changan wasn't afraid at all, he didn't even blink his eyes, talking and laughing calmly, calmly.

Yan Li didn't want to talk about that matter with Rong Changan anymore. The less people knew about this matter, the better, and the less people talked about it, the better. Walls have ears!

"Let's talk about other things." Yan Li withdrew his grasping hand, but still clenched his fist tightly.

Rong Chang'an turned around to admire the misty mountains and rainy trees in the prime minister's mansion, his expression was a little intoxicated: "Tell me, call me in, what's your order?"

When the queen said to the prime minister, "What are your orders", it was clearly full of irony.

"The chaos in the Taimiao was all managed by you alone," Yan Li stared at Rong Changan and said, "What evidence do you have to prove that the affairs of the Taimiao were only planned by Zhao Hongru and Bai Xiangwan?"

Rong Changan smiled: "According to what you mean, am I slandering Zhao Hongru and Bai Xiangwan?"

Yan Li said: "I didn't mean that, I don't think things are that simple."

"Oh?" Rong Changan looked back at Yan Li, "Tell me, the prime minister, what's not so simple about the Taimiao?"

Yan Lidao: "I would like to ask the queen, what is the motive of Zhao Hongru and Bai Xiangwan's rebellion in Taimiao?"

"Motive?" Rong Changan asked. "That's not easy! They were dissatisfied with the emperor's selection of you as prime minister, so they joined forces to plot chaos."

Yan Li snorted: "Who will believe it! Let alone Zhao Hongru and Bai Xiangwan's behavior, it is just according to your opinion that they plotted trouble because of me, because they came for me, why did they go after the emperor?" ? The queen's statement is very untenable."

Anyone who is an official can understand this kind of logic, but the stakes in it are not so clear.

Rong Changan smiled: "I admire the prime minister's mind. Perhaps, we can think of it this way. Zhao Hongru felt that the emperor was unfair, so he pointed Maotou at the emperor, not at you Yan Li. My explanation like this, Is Prime Minister Yan satisfied?"

That is very dissatisfied!
