Dressed as the villain's stepmother

"Lord Liao is joking. It's because I was negligent. I didn't confirm whether this was the emperor's intention. Please don't pursue it with me."

He chuckled and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I will evacuate them right now. I was the first to offend you today. I will definitely come to apologize to you some day."

With that said, regardless of how the two of them reacted, they left in a hurry.

Just kidding, if this matter gets serious, he doesn't know what will happen to the Prime Minister, but he will definitely not be able to live with it.

Thinking of this, I became even more resentful towards the Prime Minister.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Lianzhu was even more convinced that there would be evidence against the prime minister left in the prison.

"I have to go to the palace now. I think nothing will happen to me. You can go back and rest."

Liao Yunchuan was sitting in a wheelchair and said when he saw Jiang Lianzhu still standing at the door.

"Well, be careful about the wound."

Jiang Lianzhu glanced at Yang Fei who came in a hurry, but she didn't refuse. She gave an instruction and turned back to the house.

Yang Fei just heard about this on the road, and he didn't give a good look to the officials when he passed by.

"Take care of yourself and go into the palace to meet the Holy Spirit."

Before he could speak, he obeyed Liao Yunchuan's instructions and came down.

Knowing that Liao Yunchuan had his own plans, he did not dare to delay and immediately went to make arrangements for entering the palace.

Because the emperor also knew about Liao Yunchuan's injury, he gave him half a month's leave.

The officials entered the palace in twos and threes. The prime minister was calm and composed, but he was shocked when he suddenly saw Liao Yunchuan in a wheelchair.

Isn't Liao Yunchuan still in a coma?Why are you here for morning service now?

Thinking of this morning's plan, his heart skipped a beat, and he understood that his plan must have failed.

At this moment, looking at Liao Yunchuan's expression of breathing in and out, I felt even more wrong.

The prime minister stared intently, but Liao Yunchuan did not look at him. He allowed Yang Fei to push him into the hall despite the officials' surprised looks.

When the emperor entered the palace, he noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace.

He raised his eyes and glanced around, only to see Liao Yunchuan standing out in a wheelchair.

"Is Liao Aiqing's health getting better? Didn't I just give Aiqing half a month's leave?"

Knowing that Liao Yunchuan came to the morning court despite being injured this time was definitely not because of his love for government affairs, so he also had doubts.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

After receiving the emperor's signal, Liao Yunchuan suddenly coughed violently, and his face turned even pale, as if he was about to be blown away by a gust of wind. The prime minister was even more frightened when he saw it.

Now he was even more sure that Liao Yunchuan was definitely not holding back anything good this time.

But after all, he was in front of the emperor. Even if he was flustered, he could not show any signs of it. He just pretended to be concerned and said: "Master Liao still insisted on going to court even though he was seriously injured. His spirit is really admirable. Look at this old disease reappearing. It looks really scary, why not go back and have a good rest before coming back?"

As soon as he said these words, the Prime Minister felt that the man above him glanced at him, and he felt like he was breaking into a cold sweat.

As soon as he finished speaking, Liao Yunchuan's coughing stopped.

"That's not necessary. I can still insist on finishing the morning court."

"If you have any important matters that you need to report to me, please tell me. I'm sure you can go back home and rest after you've finished solving them."

Seeing the emperor's signal, Liao Yunchuan came up.

"I came here to ask the emperor for instructions. Is it the emperor's will for the officials to arrest Jiang Lianzhu at my residence?"

As soon as these words came out, the Prime Minister felt chills all over, and the whispers from the people around him made him even more uneasy.

At that time, he never expected that Liao Yunchuan had woken up. Apparently he had received news the day before that Liao Yunchuan was still in a coma.

Cold sweat ran across his forehead. The Prime Minister was in a state of confusion, but he also knew that he could not interrupt at this time.

"I did not issue an order."

The emperor frowned.

"That's it. I heard today that the government was ordered by the Prime Minister to arrest someone at my residence, but I didn't see the emperor's handwriting, so I came here to ask."

"But in this case, the emperor did not issue an edict, but the prime minister sent the government out. This..."

Liao Yunchuan finished the point, but it already made everyone ponder for a while.

The emperor, in particular, narrowed his eyes and his sharp gaze fell directly on the prime minister, as if he was going to stun him.

"I didn't know that the Prime Minister had such powerful means."

The Prime Minister's back was soaked with cold sweat, and he immediately knelt down to explain.

"Your Majesty, I forgive you. I wanted to arrest the evil woman first and then report the matter to the Emperor. I was afraid of causing further complications."

"Oh? Why do you say that?"

The emperor tapped his fingertips on the dragon chair and looked at him expressionlessly.

The pressure made the Prime Minister somewhat breathless.

"Your Majesty does not know that this Jiang Lianzhu is related to the murder case on the mountain a few days ago and even the murder case of Wang Chungui. This matter has a bad impact. I am afraid that this cunning evil woman will notice something is wrong and cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, I will inform the government first. , I plan to explain this matter to the emperor in the morning."

"The Prime Minister didn't know anything about this murder case on the mountain. Those who died that day were all extremely vicious bandits, and they colluded with Wang Chungui to kidnap Jiang Lianzhu's child as a threat. Little did he know that the Prime Minister was so indifferent to good and evil that he wanted to do something for the mountain. The gangsters are seeking justice." Liao Yunchuan's tone was leisurely. Although he looked sickly, his eyes when looking at the prime minister were sharp and sharp. "As for Wang Chungui's case, Jiang Lianzhu didn't sleep a wink for three days in order to study the antidote to the poison in the minister's body. , after developing the antidote yesterday, he rested in the six doors all day long, and everyone in the six doors can testify to this."

After Liao Yunchuan finished speaking, the court fell into silence.

The Prime Minister's party was panic-stricken and lowered their heads for fear of disaster.

The emperor had already guessed something in his mind, and was observing the situation calmly at this time.

"In this case, Wei Chen was negligent. Wei Chen was also impatient. He was afraid that this matter would affect His Majesty, so he did not have time to understand the whole story. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

The Prime Minister gritted his teeth, knowing that this matter could not be dealt with, so he made the matter smaller in his words.

After all, Jiang Lianzhu is indeed valued by the Emperor and Concubine Xi.

"Be more careful in your actions in the future. Don't let people think that your position as prime minister is empty!" The emperor sneered coldly, obviously having no intention of pursuing the matter further.

Liao Yunchuan also knew this.

"I would also like to ask the Emperor to allow Liu Men to personally take over Wang Chungui's case. This matter was previously involved with me. It might be more convenient if I leave it to me."

"I also feel that it would be more appropriate to leave this matter to Mr. Liao. It was Mr. Liao who personally arrested and brought the person to justice that day. I think Mr. Liao is more aware of the details of the case."

"I also feel that it would be more thorough to leave this matter to Mr. Liao for investigation."

Several neutral ministers echoed the words, which relieved the emperor's doubts a little.

"I'm ready."

The emperor agreed, and after a few words of concern about Liao Yunchuan's physical condition, he arranged for him to return home to recuperate.
