The two pairs of eyes staring at each other expressed shock and anger. Yan Li focused his eyes on thinking, and thought about all the ministers in the court, but he still didn't think that anyone might conspire against him.
The hesitation flickering in Yan Li's eyes made Li Hai's stern face even more severe.
"Why, Prime Minister doesn't want to wipe out the traitors for me?"
The blunt words spit out from Li Hai's thin and cool lips, and every word was resounding.
"It is Yan Li's duty to serve the emperor and the court! But, can Yan Li dare to ask, who is this minister who wants to make trouble?"
There was a mysterious smile on Li Hai's gloomy face, and a deep light shone in his empty eyes: "This is a top-secret matter, and I will not reveal it until the last moment. As long as you answer, I am willing to accept it." No?"
A cold light flashed across Li Hai's cold and stern eyes, and the corner of his mouth curled into a shallow grin.
He had already prepared two plans. It would be fine if Yan Li agrees. If he refuses, it means that Yan Li has a different heart, so there is no need to release Yan Li. Yan Li will spend the rest of his life in this prison.
Yan Li prostrated himself on the ground, as respectful and humble as a dog: "I serve the country, I have nothing to complain about in death! I am willing to listen to the emperor's order!"
"Very good!" Li Hai managed to show a relaxed smile, and the tense atmosphere between him and Yan Li disappeared, "At that time, I will send someone to inform you how to strangle the rebels!"
"When will we do it?" Yan Li asked.
The dark cell echoed Li Hai's gloomy answer: "I will tell you when the time comes."
Yan Li frowned: "What is the plan?"
"I'll let you know when the time comes!"
Under the messy hair is Yan Li's tangled and confused face and eyes. Is this counter-insurgency really going to be kept secret like this? Can't even release a little bit of news? Will there be any conspiracy in it
"Haha," Li Hai looked at Yan Li's confused face with his maroon eyes, "Prime Minister, don't worry, what I asked you to do is definitely an earth-shattering undertaking! As long as you kill the traitor, then you will be the king of the Great Jing Kingdom." The greatest hero, who is under one person, is above ten thousand! Is there any man who wants to live a life of worthlessness, who doesn’t want to do a great cause? Prime Minister, you have to seize this opportunity to help me kill all the rebels , and restore Dajing Kingdom to a clear world!"
There was a hint of ferocity and hostility in the impassioned speech, which made Yan Li feel uneasy all the time.
A pair of warm hands rested on Yan Li's icy shoulders, and squeezed it a little harder: "Prime Minister, if there are no other questions, I will go out. Tomorrow the officials at Yushitai will send a chariot and horse to quietly take you back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. You have to remember, you must never tell the outside world that you have been released from Yushitai, do you understand?"
Why can't you go back aboveboard? Still can't mention it to others
As if he already understood Yan Li's thoughts, Li Hai continued: "Because I want to catch my opponent by surprise, so that she doesn't know that her most powerful enemy has been released from the prison. If she doesn't know that you have been released, she will definitely He will be unscrupulous, revealing his tail of rebellion."
"I understand." Yan Li said in a low voice.
"Prime Minister, do it yourself!"
Just as Li Hai turned his smug back, Yan Li's hesitant voice sounded again in the narrow prison.
"Your Majesty, can I have a request?"
"But it doesn't matter."
Yan Li squeezed his fist: "About King Jing's family..."
Li Hai turned around suddenly, his eyes were full of sternness: "Prime Minister, what do you want to say?"
Li Hai's voice was gloomy and cold, making Yan Li shudder. He was warning Yan Li that enough was enough about Prince Jing.
"Has Prince Jing's family been exiled?" Such a question seems to be tickling through clothes, and it can't answer Yan Li's inner questions and worries at all.
"Exile! I was exiled to Lingnan a few days ago. Why do you suddenly ask such a question?" Li Hai's falcon-like eyes flickered, and his eyes searched Yan Li's body up and down, as if he was searching for everything that could be related to him. The evidence of Prince Jing's connection is mediocre.
"Oh," Yan Li swallowed, "then it looks like they should reach Lingnan in a month. In Lingnan, I have a colleague. If they have reached Lingnan, he will send me a letter to tell me. Your Majesty Having the virtue of being good at life is really a blessing to the people of Dajing Kingdom."
Li Hai twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a sneer. Yan Li actually came to hide a needle in the cotton and warned him not to kill Prince Jing's family members halfway. Hmph, he refused to listen to Yan Li's warning and wanted Prince Jing's family members to be exterminated.
"Okay, I will wait for the good news with you."
Li Hai's brand new, soft and vivid yellow robe swished across the dirty stone slabs, and quickly stepped up the stairs wearing cloud shoes, flashed by the bright exit, and disappeared, only the courtiers outside could be heard shouting long live .
"Long live the emperor!"
Before the sun came out, officials from Yushitai came to wait for Yan Li with new clothes and shoes around five watch drum time.
"Prime Minister, Your Majesty asked us to bring the Prime Minister back to the mansion."
Yan Li dressed and left the prison.
"Prime Minister, the emperor ordered me to take the prime minister through the back door of Yushitai."
Li Hai's thoughtfulness and suspicion made Yan Li's impression of him refreshed again.
There was no lantern at the back door of Yushitai. In the dark night, a pitch-black Taiping car was parked on the icy street like a ghost car bound for the underworld. Even the coachman was wearing a Fanyang felt hat, and the felt hat almost covered his face, making it impossible to see his real appearance. In the quiet street, the only sound is the snorting of horses.
"Prime Minister, we will send it here. These days, the Prime Minister has suffered!"
Yan Li responded with a polite word, jumped into the Taiping car, opened the curtain, and got in.
"drive!"
Following the old and hoarse shout of the coachman, the carriage followed the horse's hooves and walked on the street where no one walked.
Crossing the street and entering the alley, the car stopped with a long and well-measured "Woo..." from the coachman.
"Prime Minister, you're home!" It was the coachman's voice.
The moment Yan Li lifted the curtain, streams of flames shone on his deep and tight face. Surprise and fear welled up in his heart.
Could it be that Li Hai is going to do something to him...
"Prime Minister, I am under the order of the emperor, under the command of the prime minister, to put down the chaotic party!"
Under the light of the fire, the armor on Nie Lingzhen's body, the deputy commander of the imperial guards, reflected a dazzling cold light, just like Nie Lingzhen's radiant eyes.
The Prime Minister's Mansion was actually surrounded by the Royal Palace Guards! What is Li Hai doing? Why did he use the secret army directly under him, the Royal Guards.
"You..." Yan Li was not sure that these people were dealing with Yan Li.
Nie Lingzhen clasped his fists and saluted: "The emperor has an order that no one is allowed to approach the prime minister until the rebellion is suppressed, so as to ensure the prime minister's safety, so he sent me to wait for the prime minister's residence."
Yan Li finally understood what Li Hai meant. Li Hai was afraid that Yan Li would reveal his plan, so he sent Nie Lingzhen to guard the prime minister's mansion. It seems that Li Hai is not at ease with anyone, and is full of suspicion towards everyone.
