At this mont, the palace maid who had just reported ca in again, lowered her head, and respectfully said, "Pri Minister, your servant refuses to leave. He says there is an extrely urgent matter that must be reported."
The Pri Minister was agitated: "Did he say what the matter is?"
The palace maid cautiously said, "He said the War Prince has dismantled the Pri Minister’s Mansion and urges you to quickly return to handle it."
The Pri Minister and the Empress were shocked upon hearing this. They stood up together, exclaiming, "What?"
The War Prince is too arrogant and domineering, right? In broad daylight, he brazenly dismantled the Pri Minister’s Mansion?
This ti, the Pri Minister couldn’t maintain his composure: "Quickly, let him in."
"Yes." The palace maid retreated.
Soon, a person resembling a house servant was brought in.
"Greetings to the Empress."
Upon entering, the house servant first paid respects to the Empress, then reported the situation at the residence to the Pri Minister.
Upon hearing this, the Pri Minister realized that Long Rui, in front of the citizens, actually said he would hang him at the gate of the Pri Minister’s Mansion and beat him in the street. He was both shocked and fearful, yet felt quite fortunate that he was in the Imperial Palace; otherwise, today he would certainly be humiliated, becoming the laughingstock of the Capital.
Indeed, the War Prince always acts on his words.
"Empress, see how arrogant the War Prince is! To boast shalessly about beating the Emperor’s Father-in-law openly, it’s obvious he disregards the Emperor and the Empress!" In his shock, the Pri Minister didn’t forget to report against Long Rui.
The Empress also wanted to use this opportunity to drive a wedge between the Emperor and Long Rui. Only by leveraging the Emperor’s hand could she achieve her revenge, so she persuaded, "Father, don’t worry. I will definitely speak to the Emperor about this matter and seek justice for you."
Pri Minister: "That’s very good, but what about The Petition of the People...?"
The Petition of the People is the most troubleso part.
The Emperor usually avoids matters related to the will of the people, especially since this Petition is written for the War Prince?
What does that signify?
It signifies that the people strongly support the War Prince, which is exactly what the Emperor finds most worriso.
The Empress furrowed her elegant brows, thought for a while, and then said, "Father, after you leave the palace, send soone to investigate which official those unruly people handed The Petition of the People to, and then..."
Here, the Empress paused.
The Pri Minister, a cunning old fox, imdiately understood the Empress’s implication, his mood lightening up as he quickly nodded, saying, "Rest assured, Empress, this Petition will definitely not appear before the Emperor."
The Empress, with a solemn expression, instructed, "This matter concerns the future of the Pri Minister’s Mansion. Be cautious; no mistakes must occur."
"Rest assured, Empress, Father knows what to do."
The two discussed further strategies before the Pri Minister hurriedly took his leave.
War Prince’s Mansion, Rain Listening Courtyard.
"Dear, dear, where are you?"
Long Rui returned from the military camp, and without even reaching the War Prince’s Mansion, he went to overturn the Pri Minister’s old den. Having just returned to the mansion, he didn’t even have ti to wash his face, and eagerly went to find Situtu Xueer.
"Why are you shouting? I’m right here!"
From a big tree beside the courtyard ca Xuexue’s crisp voice.
Long Rui looked up to see a pair of white feet swinging among the dense leaves.
"Dear, you’re being naughty again, climbing trees. As a lady, you should be ladylike, not too unruly."
"Isn’t it all thanks to your excellent teaching? A great master produces a brilliant disciple. You should be proud."
In a previous life, Xuexue was very proper, a perfect young lady, never climbed trees.
After being reborn, Long Rui often flew around with her in the air, and climbing trees beca routine. Gradually, Xuexue also enjoyed climbing trees, liked the feeling of overlooking everything, this feeling of freedom was truly wonderful.
