The night color dyed the sky, and everything was shrouded in deep black. Only in the Prime Minister's Mansion was there a candle lit.
"Prime Minister, something bad has happened. News has spread from the palace that the Imperial Concubine has been wrongly accused of colluding with the Ninth Prince, and the news has spread widely. People outside the palace will know about it soon." The man in black said hurriedly, and he hurried over the moment he received the pigeon message from Liu Churong.
When Prime Minister Liu heard the news from his men, he slammed the table in anger and said, "Who spread this news? Are they so bold that they don't even take my Prime Minister's Mansion seriously?" His voice gradually became lower and he slumped down in his chair, muttering something to himself.
His eyes were full of anger. He had taken refuge with Fu Huaiyu, but now that this news came, what should he do? The emperor would definitely think of him, after all, his daughter could represent him. Moreover, he had always been able to endure and be vigilant in everything, so he would definitely not be noticed by others. What on earth was going on
His men bowed their heads and pretended not to hear anything. This was a major act of treason! If it succeeded, it would be fine, but what if it failed? It would be a matter of punishing all nine generations of the clan!
But Prime Minister Liu did not avoid suspicion. After all, he knew that these people now had only one way to go, that is, to follow him on this road, or to expose him. But all their relatives were in his hands, so he was not afraid of the matter being exposed!
He calmed down his anger and calmed down a lot. Then, he ordered his men: "Go and find out whether the news is true or not, and see how the news came out!"
The man in black lowered his eyes, the panic on his face disappeared, and his tone was cold, "Yes, Prime Minister." Then he left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Liu narrowed his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, and a calculating look flashed across his eyes. He had to do something! If Fu Yuheng found out everything, not only would Fu Huaiyu be sentenced to death, but he would definitely not let him and his daughter live in this world!
In the palace, Fu Yuheng was reviewing memorials. Sun Ning walked up to him and whispered in his ear for a while.
There was danger in his eyes, but he said nonchalantly: "Oh? Really? If it's really as you said, then I have to prepare a thank you gift?" After a moment of hesitation, he continued to review the memorials. There are so many things to do today, I wonder if tomorrow's morning court will be as interesting.
Sun Ning said nothing. He knew he shouldn't say too much now. After all, the emperor's decision was beyond the control of others. He just bowed and waited quietly beside him until he finished reviewing the memorial.
About an hour later, Fu Yuheng had just finished reviewing the memorials on the desk. He put down his pen, and Sun Ning immediately asked the maid beside him to clean up. He picked up the hot tea on the table, took a sip, and asked casually, "What is she doing now?" This news probably came from her. There was probably no one else in the palace who knew about this, but she did this, obviously she had her own plan.
Sun Ning had been with Fu Yuheng for many years, and obviously knew what he meant. He lowered his head and said, "The Queen is in the bedroom..." His love for Shen Qingwan was well known to everyone. However, now that rumors were spreading in the harem, he actually had the mind to ask about her. Could it be that this matter had something to do with her? Sun Ning was puzzled, but he kept silent.
After Fu Yuheng asked, he was silent for a while, with a look of doting on his face, and said to himself: "I think she should have a lot of fun, right?" He was silent for a while again, stroking the dragon chair with his fingers, "She has made it this far, it seems that she can relax for a while in the near future, but, this snake, I think it's time to come out of the hole."
He was lost in his own thoughts, and Sun Ning did not disturb him, but remained in that position, not feeling tired. After all, this was the emperor, and no matter what, he, a servant, had to be by his side.
"What do you think the result will be?" he asked suddenly, startling Sun Ning who was standing next to him.
Sun Ning didn't know how to answer his question, but he had to say, "I think the emperor should not let this news spread out. It will damage the reputation of the royal family." He whispered.
"Oh? It may be a disgrace to the royal family, but I think this is a long-term strategy. Who can say whether the Ninth Prince and Prime Minister Liu have the intention of rebellion?" He looked out the window, "I am tired. You may leave first."
I wonder if Shen Qingwan's trick can expose Prime Minister Liu and Ninth Brother? I am really looking forward to it. I hope he won't be disappointed!
The next day, Tuoba Min was strolling in the imperial garden with several palace maids, who were introducing her to the concubines in the palace. As soon as she mentioned Concubine Liu, Tuoba Min thought of the recent news, and waved her hand impatiently, saying unhappily: "Concubine Liu? Oh, she's just a brainless woman, and now it's said that she has an affair with the Ninth Prince. How could the emperor allow such a woman to enter the palace?"
There would never be such a woman in the Mongolian ethnic group who would have two minds about her husband.
She was suddenly covered by the maid, "Master, you can't say that. If someone hears it, it will bring disaster. And Concubine Liu is the daughter of Prime Minister Liu, she is in a high position and has great power. Please think twice before you act."
Tuoba Min raised an eyebrow but didn't take it seriously. She had the Mongolian tribe as her backing, and Shen Qingwan and Fu Yuheng were protecting her, so why should she be afraid
In the Imperial Garden, Liu Churong vented her anger on a bunch of flowers. Rumors about her and the Ninth Prince spread, and almost everyone in the palace knew about it! What should she do now? There was no reply from her father yet, so he should have started to investigate.
But she was still a little worried. After all, she was the emperor's concubine, and now such a thing happened. If it didn't involve her father, it would be fine. She could lean on her father's big tree and enjoy the shade. But if it involved her father's interests, he would definitely abandon her. But this matter involved not only her, but Fu Huaiyu and the entire Liu Mansion!
When she thought of this, her face darkened again. She wanted to vent her anger, but she had to pretend that nothing had happened. If she got angry, someone would make up rumors and cause trouble.
But just when she was angry, she heard people talking about her in the garden. She walked over slowly, stepping on the flower petals.
There was a hint of anger in his eyes. Even if the maids and concubines in the palace knew about it, no one dared to talk about it loudly. Moreover, if he said this, he would be charged with the crime of defaming the royal family. But he didn't expect that someone would be so happy to say it.
The closer she got, the clearer she could hear her words, "Empress Liu actually had an affair with the Ninth Prince. That means she wants to betray the Emperor! She should be thrown into a pig cage." Tuoba Min continued speaking, not noticing her approach.
