The sound of knocking mixed with shouting suddenly woke up the Pri Minister. Having not slept all night, he was not only drowsy but his head was also aching terribly.
"What’s going on? Knocking on the door so loudly, trying to summon a spirit?"
The Pri Minister sat up on the bed, rubbing his temples with his hands, utterly annoyed. His head was about to split open, and the servant outside was still banging on the door, making him feel restless and irritable.
"Get in here." Enduring the intense headache, the Pri Minister couldn’t help but roar angrily.
The servant entered nervously, face ashen, to report, "Pri Minister, sothing bad has happened."
"Who’s having a bad ti?" The Pri Minister bristled and blew his beard, indignant. How dare this worthless servant openly curse him! Was he tired of living?
The servant, terrified, suddenly fell to his knees, shivering and stamring, "Please forgive , Pri Minister. I wasn’t saying you were in trouble, it’s just that... it’s just...!"
"What on earth is going on? If you don’t give a reasonable explanation, I’ll twist your head off and use it as a ball."
"The War... War Prince’s Mansion... n from over there have co."
"War Prince’s Mansion?"
The Pri Minister, his head pounding with pain, didn’t imdiately comprehend.
"Yes... yes...!"
Before the servant could finish, the Pri Minister suddenly rembered that the n in black from last night had not returned. He jumped up imdiately, ignoring his headache, grabbed the servant by the clothes, and anxiously asked, "What on earth happened? Hurry up and make it clear."
"They... they... they are... are... at... at..."
The Pri Minister’s reaction startled the servant, making his tongue even more twisted.
"If you don’t explain clearly, do you believe I won’t cut your tongue out?" The Pri Minister was almost mad with anxiety, while the servant stamred; he was terribly infuriated, almost wanting to strangle him.
"They’re at the main gate, Pri Minister, you should go take a look!" Sensing the murderous aura from the Pri Minister, the servant suddenly shuddered and started speaking with surprising fluency.
As soon as he finished speaking, the Pri Minister threw him aside and had already run out.
"Phew...! It’s killing !"
The servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief; the Pri Minister’s earlier deanor, almost looked like he wanted to eat him alive, had nearly scared him to death.
The Pri Minister’s Mansion, main gate.
Over a dozen carriages were lined up. Long Yi was instructing his n to unload bodies from the carriages, stacking them at the Pri Minister’s mansion gate.
Usually fierce and intimidating to the common folk, the guards now stood aside ekly like deflated balloons, not daring to utter a word.
The newcors were from the War Prince’s Mansion; they didn’t have the guts to step forward to block them, so they stood aside whispering: "If we stand here and don’t stop them, the Pri Minister will definitely not spare us when he finds out."
"Then what should we do? They’re from the War Prince’s Mansion; crossing them is just as good as death."
"I tell you what! When the Pri Minister cos out, we’ll act as if trying to stop them; it’s better than waiting to die, don’t you think?"
The guards at the gate kept nodding: "Fine, let’s do it."
Being a servant is truly not easy! Constantly fearing for their lives.
One sharp-eyed guard turned and spotted the Pri Minister coming out with others and promptly said to his comrades, "Hey, hey! The Pri Minister is here!"
The guards, in good synchronization, imdiately pointed at the n from the War Prince’s Mansion who were unloading the bodies, and putting on a brave show, started shouting, "How dare you bring bodies to our Pri Minister’s Mansion; you must be tired of living. Do you know our Pri Minister is the Father-in-law of the Emperor, backed by the Empress, advising you to leave quickly, or you’ll be... be dood!"
The guards who had just been cowering in a corner silently, suddenly started shouting loudly. Long Yi looked up curiously and just happened to see the Pri Minister coming out aggressively, the corners of his mouth curled up into a knowing smile.
