Looking at Fu Liyou, Lu Yan finally told him everything he knew, "So now we have to see the emperor."

Fu Liyou remained silent, looking at Lu Yan with a strange expression, "Do you trust me so much that you told me all this?"

"Yeah." Lu Yan couldn't help but smile. "If you are worthy of my trust, you will naturally believe what I say. If you are not worthy of my trust, you should think about which of my words are true and which are false."

Fu Liyou looked at Lu Yan steadily.

Fu Liyou shook his head. "No, it's too dangerous to go directly to the emperor. We need to make a plan."

Lu Yan paced anxiously, "But time is running out..."

Fu Liyou thought for a moment, "We can take advantage of the Second Prince's needs and lure him into the trap..."

Lu Yan stopped and asked, "What do you think?"

A sly look flashed across Fu Liyou's eyes. "We can spread the news that the emperor has something in our hands..."

Lu Yan nodded, "Then lead the Second Prince into the trap, but is the Second Prince so stupid, will he believe it?"

"He doesn't need to believe it, he just needs to know that there is this rumor." Fu Liyou smiled and said, "That's right, but it requires sophisticated arrangements... During this time when you are away, let someone spread the word that the things are with you."

After hearing what he said, Lu Yan couldn't help but feel doubtful: "But are you really sure that he will invite me into the palace?" There was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

He was not very familiar with the second prince.

Fu Liyou seemed to see through his thoughts, and chuckled softly, saying, "Don't worry, I am fully confident. As far as I know, the Second Prince is cautious by nature, and the most daring thing he has done so far is probably now. He will never risk leaving the palace to find you easily, after all, he is also afraid of death."

Lu Yan nodded in agreement. He thought to himself, "This is good, at least I don't have to worry about getting involved in anything dangerous." However, he also felt a little curious about what it was that the Second Prince valued so much and wanted to get.

Just then, a breeze blew by, bringing a little coolness, and Lu Yan couldn't help but shiver.

"Then let's do as you say." Lu Yan calmed himself down.

Fu Liyou patted Lu Yan's shoulder and said, "It all depends on your acting skills from now on."

A few days later, news came from the palace inviting Lu Yan to enter the palace.

"It seems that the plan was successful." Fu Liyou curled up a smile.

"Then I'll be leaving." Lu Yan took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, everything is going according to plan." Fu Liyou comforted.

Lu Yan nodded, tidied his appearance, and followed the eunuch who delivered the message to the palace.

Fu Liyou couldn't help but hold Lu Yan and said, "Whether you can see the emperor or not, make sure you are safe first."

Lu Yan nodded, "I understand."

"Yes." Fu Liyou then let go, and Lu Yan entered the palace as ordered. This time no one stopped him.

Lu Yan came to the palace and met the Second Prince. The Second Prince looked at Lu Yan sharply, and relying on the fact that he was surrounded by his own people, he asked directly: "Do you have the thing?"

Lu Yan deliberately showed an embarrassed expression and bowed his head without saying anything. Seeing this, the Second Prince threatened: "Prime Minister Lu, you are the prime minister of the current dynasty, so you should know the current situation better, right?"

Lu Yan's heart tightened, but he pretended to be very calm on the surface. "I... I don't know what you are talking about."

"Second Prince, His Majesty has summoned me to the palace. Where is His Majesty?"

The second prince's eyes flickered, and he looked at Lu Yan as if he wanted to eat him.

"Oh, my father has been ill recently and is resting now. I think he should have woken up by now." The second prince said expressionlessly, but his eyes flashed with an imperceptible light.

He thought to himself: I want to see what you are going to do.

Then he turned to the attendants around him and ordered: "Come, take the Prime Minister to meet my father." The voice was neither loud nor low, but it carried an unquestionable majesty.

After the attendant took the order and left, the second prince raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile.

He followed quietly behind, wanting to secretly observe the meeting between Lu Yan and the emperor.

The court struggle is cruel, and any slight change may affect one's future destiny.

Therefore, he must always be vigilant and not let anyone threaten his position.

Lu Yan followed the attendant into the inner hall and saw the emperor leaning on the dragon throne. After he saluted respectfully, the emperor motioned him to stand up. The emperor looked a little pale, and it was obvious that he was in poor health.

"Mr. Lu, I heard that you have something I need?" The emperor's voice was weak but majestic.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what you are talking about." Lu Yan replied with his head down.

The emperor was slightly angry, "Lu Yan, you left the capital without permission, do you know what crime you are guilty of?"

Lu Yan did not answer. The emperor himself had agreed to his leaving Beijing.

"Could it be..." Lu Yan didn't say anything yet.

At this time, the second prince suddenly broke in, "Father, I heard that the Prime Minister has the treasure you have been looking for for a long time."

The emperor looked at his second son with anger on his face, "My son, what are you referring to?"

"Your Majesty, I have also heard some rumors." The second prince explained hurriedly.

Lu Yan took the opportunity to interrupt, "Your Majesty, someone deliberately spread rumors and tried to sow discord. I am willing to assist Your Majesty in finding out the truth."

The emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Well, in this case, Lu Qing will assist me in investigating this matter. If anyone dares to plot against the law, he will be severely punished."

Lu Yan stood up and left. The second prince did not stop him and left blatantly.

Lu Yan walked out of the palace and breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation just now was extremely tense, and he was glad that he was able to handle it well.

At the same time, the second prince was also thinking about the next plan. He realized that Lu Yan was not easy to deal with and he had to be more cautious.

What the emperor just said made Lu Yan fall into deep thought, and he began to recall what happened before. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind: "System, please help me see if there is any guard in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Lu Yan felt that if his guess was correct, then the important thing was most likely hidden in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Okay, host." The system responded immediately and began to search and observe the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lu Yan quietly waited for the system's feedback, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

Time passed by minute by minute, and finally, the system gave an answer: "Report to the host, the Prime Minister's Mansion is indeed guarded, but there are not many, only a few guards patrolling the door."

After receiving this news, Lu Yan's eyes became more determined.

He thought to himself: Sure enough! It seems that I guessed right.
