Dressed as the villain's stepmother

Jiang Lianzhu just gloated for a while, and then her tone was slightly worried.

"However, will the Huo family take action at this time? If the Prime Minister is really restricted because of this matter, it will not be a good thing for them."

She really didn't know how capable the Huo family was, but she had heard some rumors about them from Liao Yunchuan.

If they take action now, will the current situation change drastically?

"Probably not. Old Mrs. Huo is in charge of the Huo family. They no longer care so much about matters in the court. Since they were unwilling to interfere before, they are more likely to do so now."

Liao Yunchuan shook his head and said with great certainty.

Although he can't be said to have a very good understanding of Mrs. Huo's character, he probably does.

"Since the Huo family is unwilling to take action, it is even better for us. After waiting for the banquet for the envoys from the Western Regions, the prime minister's energy should be exhausted."

Jiang Lianzhu spoke calmly, obviously with some gloating in his words.

It's not that she wants to badmouth the Prime Minister, but the current general trend is like this. Even if he wants to fight desperately, he may not be able to make a comeback.

"Too."

Liao Yunchuan pursed his lips and said.

Huo family.

The prime minister was really frightened by the emperor. After hesitating for a while, he still went to Huo's house with a low face.

Mrs. Huo was always thinking about what happened before, and she didn't say whether she would see anyone or not. She just left the Prime Minister in the study room and let him wait for about half an hour before going to see someone.

"old lady."

The Prime Minister walked towards Mrs. Huo diligently.

"You must have heard about what happened in the palace... The emperor has already suspected me. If we don't take any action, I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult in the future."

He thought for a long time before speaking slowly, thinking about how to persuade the old lady to help him.

The only thing he is afraid of now is that the emperor may follow the clues to find out about him, so the things behind him cannot be hidden.

"Of course I heard about it." Old Mrs. Huo said calmly, "It's just that these things are just caused by your own sins. What do they have to do with me?"

Before the Prime Minister could say a word for herself, Mrs. Huo continued.

"Prime Minister, you wanted to burn bridges before, but now you want to ask our Huo family to help you. Isn't this a better plan?"

The expression on the Prime Minister's face changed, and he suddenly didn't know where to start.

The old lady was afraid that she had heard all the things that happened before, otherwise how could she be telling her these things now? It was Xiao Xiyan who had changed her life!

Seriously, send any news to the old lady.

"Old lady, I have never thought of burning bridges. Where did you hear this? It's really confusing."

The Prime Minister could only force a smile on his face, and then started his own sophistry.

"If I say there's no such thing, it's definitely not happening... There must be someone behind the scenes who wants to use this opportunity to frame us."

What he said was neither sincere nor sincere, and even he felt a little fake when he heard it.

"This time, only the Huo family can help me. If you, the Huo family, still choose to watch, then if His Majesty convicts you, don't think you will be able to escape."

When the Prime Minister saw that Old Mrs. Huo was still refusing to give in, he simply threatened her.

The look on the old lady's face suddenly changed: "What are you going to do?"

"Of course I can't do anything, but the old lady needs to think clearly. Your Huo family and I are tied together. If something happens to one side, the other side will definitely suffer heavy losses."

The Prime Minister said meaningfully.

If the emperor used suspicion to uncover all the things he had done before, then as long as he put a little effort into making a confession in court, the Huo family would naturally not get any good results.

It's really a good idea for him to plan this way.

"Well, let's not talk about this matter for now." Mrs. Huo turned her head to the side with a livid face. "The emperor has not taken any precautions against you at the moment. If there is another move in the future, I will naturally take action."

She was really threatened by the Prime Minister this time, and he was really clever at scheming people's hearts.

"Okay, then I'll wait for the news from you."

The prime minister smiled inaudibly, then turned and left the Huo family.

After he left, Old Madam Huo almost fell down on the chair. Grandma immediately stepped forward to support her: "Old Madam, why do we agree to that white-eyed wolf? We will bear the responsibility of what he does by himself. It’s not impossible for the Huo family to protect themselves wisely.”

"What he wants to do should not be that simple." Mrs. Huo shook her head, "I'm afraid it's not just a plot against the third prince."

The palace banquet for the envoys from the Western Regions came soon.

The prime minister worked hard on this palace and even put some of his own money into it, fearing that the emperor would be dissatisfied.

The envoy from the Western Regions was sitting on the right side of the emperor, watching slightly nervously as the eunuch handed the gift note to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, all the tribute from the Western Regions is above."

The eunuch said with a low eyebrow, and then stepped aside.

The eunuch standing next to the emperor opened the gift list and read it out after receiving the emperor's permission.

The last tribute listed is the Qiqiaocao.

When the envoy from the Western Regions heard those three words, alarm bells rang in his heart, and he didn't know how he should react for a moment.

The Prime Minister, on the other hand, twitched his lips with some pride. The person he found was really good, and he replaced the previous gift list.

The prime minister waited for the eunuch to read everything on the gift list, then he stood up unhurriedly and took a step outside.

"Your Majesty, I have long heard that this seven-orificed grass is not ordinary. I wonder if I can bring it out this time to open your eyes?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present started talking.

"I heard that His Majesty received a Seven-hole Grass three years ago. Could it be that this thing really has some magical effects... The Prime Minister actually said in public that he wanted to come and broaden his horizons."

"Who knows if this thing is useful? This is an herb that can only be used by the royal family of the Western Regions. There is no trace of this herb in the Central Plains."

"Tsk, why did the Prime Minister give me the feeling that I took the wrong medicine today? I don't usually sit quietly, but now I look so anxious."
