"Aunt had already guessed it a long time ago. Would the situation be like this now?"

Shi Yinsheng stretched out his hand, took out a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Chu Xiaoran, curled the corners of his lips, wanted to say something, but swallowed it all back.

"Mr. Prime Minister, what does this mean?"

Chu Xiaoran was facing Shi Yinsheng alone. He already knew that she was shrewd and cunning, and the purpose of taking out the jade pendant was just to relax his vigilance.

"This is a relic left by His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince. Now it has been returned to its original owner. He is the only son of His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince and the bloodline of the Xiahou family. If Your Majesty is unable to leave offspring in the end, you will become the future monarch of this country."

Yan Boxi stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two. He secretly wrote down every word that Shi Yinsheng said in his heart. He must not let the young master get hurt again this time, otherwise, Zhuzi would definitely skin him alive.

"I don't want to be a monarch. I just want to live my life in peace."

It is enough to live happily with my wife.

Chu Xiaoran was thinking this in his heart. At some point, a pale yellow figure appeared at the door. He was wearing a light green cloak and floated in from the door like white snow.

Nan Jinming walked with light steps. When she reached the front hall, Shi Yinsheng had his back to her and had not yet reacted.

"Hey, what's the wind like today? It blew the Prime Minister to the Princess's Mansion."

When Shi Yinsheng turned around, he saw Nan Jinming with some snowflakes on his head. As the snowflakes entered the hall, they were baked by the charcoal fire and gradually turned into water mist.

Chu Xiaoran sat on the chair without any reaction, but he was relieved in his heart because Nan Jinming would protect him no matter what happened. Even if the sky fell, he would not need to show up.

"So it's Miss Murong who's back. I heard that you left the house early in the morning, so I met with His Royal Highness the Princess to discuss some things with him."

"I see. It's a coincidence that I came back. Has the Prime Minister discussed this with Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Shi Yinsheng turned his head and looked at Chu Xiaoran, who was sitting next to him with a calm expression.

Chu Xiaoran's gaze fell on Nan Jinming. Ever since Nan Jinming stepped over the threshold, Chu Xiaoran had never taken his eyes away.

"Jin Ming, where did you go so early in the morning? Why didn't you tell me? There's no news at all. Did you want to leave me here?"

Chu Xiaoran pouted a little aggrieved, but because there were outsiders around, he didn't get angry.

"Let's talk about our business later. The Prime Minister came to visit today. Do you have any key? Why don't you tell me about it?"

Nan Jinming and Shi Yinsheng looked at each other. There was something invisible moving between the two of them, which would explode at a critical point.

"I have just finished talking to Her Highness the Princess. The purpose of my coming here today is to ask Her Highness the Princess if she is willing to ascend to the throne. I will certainly do my best to help her."

"You can't say that. Is His Majesty still alive? Your Excellency the Prime Minister said such treasonous words. Aren't you afraid that the Princess will report you to His Majesty?"

Shi Yinsheng smiled meaningfully as she looked at Nan Jinming in front of her. The smoke of war between the two women gradually spread. It would erupt completely after just one critical point!

"Your Highness, I will go back first if you can think about it. If you have made up your mind, Your Highness can send someone to report back to me."

"My Lord Prime Minister, I won't see you off then."

"Stay."

Nan Jinming looked at Shi Yinsheng's departing back, his eyes filled with complexity.

This woman seemed to be a subordinate of the emperor and was on the emperor's side, so what was her purpose in coming to the Princess's Mansion today? Was it just to establish a camp?
