Ancient women awaken: loving yourself is the way to go

Chapter 117: The Prime Minister is One Step Behind

The smile on the prime minister's face froze, and he lowered his eyes slightly to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

"Your Highness, you can tell the Emperor what he said. I am loyal to the Emperor, and you are not the one who can instigate me. It is you who are the cause of trouble. Since ancient times, the emperor should have three harems and six courtyards. How can you make an exception for me?"

"So you never thought of letting the emperor marry only me from the beginning to the end, and your previous promises to the emperor were all lies." Shen Xingxi shook his head.

"Prime Minister, you are always doing it for his own good, but everything you do is to your own advantage. It is not an exaggeration to say that you are hypocritical."

She sighed, "I really don't like you, but I can't bear to embarrass the emperor. Apart from the selection and what I do for women, I can make concessions. Can you also take a step back so that we can live in peace?"

"The Queen is the mother of a country. I should respect her." How could the Prime Minister give in?

To him, the existence of the Queen was a threat, not to mention that what he did to women included saving the former Queen. These words seemed to be a concession, but in fact he could only propose small matters such as not allowing the Queen to review memorials.

However, Shen Xingxi's words had a different meaning in Mo Hongyun's ears.

First of all, Xingxi's willingness to make concessions for him was enough to make him happy. Moreover, Mr. Shen, who had reviewed memorials for several years, was willing to promise him that he would never be regent again.

As for the two points mentioned by Shen Xingxi, he could also understand them.

Not wanting him to be selected in the draft is a sign of concern for him.

What Xingxi did for the woman was the belief and pursuit she had always adhered to, and he could understand and respect it.

But the Prime Minister did not agree, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of what Xingxi had just analyzed, he couldn't help but believe it a little more. Could it be that the Prime Minister really wanted to be the second Minister Chen?

He continued to listen.

Shen Xingxi sighed heavily, "Where is Wanyu? I want to take her back."

The prime minister had Wanyu called over, stared into her eyes and asked, "Wanyu, you said you were willing to serve me, but are you telling the truth? Do you want to leave with the queen?"

Wan Yu's eyes flashed with apology, "My Queen, I am willing to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

She walked to the Prime Minister with a smile and leaned against him, "Prime Minister, shall we go play with the candle now? Let's get the Queen to leave."

The prime minister held Wan Yu in his arms and laughed happily, "It's all thanks to Madam Yan, your servant, who taught Wan Yu not to care about chastity. I haven't seen a woman who suits my taste so well for a long time."

Shen Xingxi lowered her eyes slightly to hide the emotions in her eyes.

If it was Layu's choice, she had no right to blame him.

System: [Host, the Prime Minister has ordered the guards to surround the main hall, saying that only Wan Yu can save you.]

Shen Xingxi clenched his fists, his displeasure spreading undisguisedly.

System: [Wan Yu hid a piece of broken porcelain in her sleeve. The system detected that she had suicidal thoughts. I guess she just wanted to see you leave safely... She probably didn't want to be a burden to you.]

Shen Xingxi smashed the table with one punch, walked towards Wan Yu step by step, until he stood in front of her, and asked: "Do you really want to stay?"

The prime minister looked at the queen's anger and slowly put on a strange smile.

But he never expected that the queen would raise her leg and kick him accurately on his vitals.

The prime minister bent over in pain, and his internal strength instantly gathered in his palms and slapped towards Shen Xingxi.

Shen Xingxi retreated with Wanyu and shot the hidden weapon in his hand at the prime minister.

Mo Hongyun felt something was wrong when he heard that Wan Yu was threatened by the prime minister, but he was in the secret passage and it would take some time to open the secret door.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the secret door was opened, the queen and the prime minister started fighting.

He quickly shouted, "Stop it!"

The prime minister paused. He didn't expect the emperor to be in the secret passage. So how much did he hear about the conversation between him and the queen?

Shen Xingxi knew that Mo Hongyun could come out, so she took the opportunity to shoot the poisoned hidden weapon into the prime minister's leg.

Her eyes looked at Mo Hongyun without any warmth, [For your sake, I only want one of his legs. ]

After saying that, she took Wanyu away using Qinggong.

Mo Hongyun glanced at the Prime Minister with mixed feelings, "Prime Minister, I will call the imperial physician. I have to go after the Queen first."

The prime minister sat on the ground, watching the emperor moving farther and farther away from him, and finally disappearing from his sight, his eyes filled with tremendous anger and hatred.

He actually lost to the Queen!

Not only did her relationship with the emperor become estranged, but she was also hurt.

Even though he was injured, the emperor actually went after the queen who was intact!

He was so angry that he was shaking all over. When he heard that his left leg would lose sensation even after the poison was removed, he fainted.

Shen Xingxi took Wanyu to the inn.

System asks: [Host, you only want one leg of the Prime Minister, that's too cheap for him! ]

Shen Xingxi: [The Prime Minister is dead, Yunyun will be sad, I can't do it. ]

The system opened its mouth but did not continue asking.

The English words were a hint, and if she said too much, Mo Hongyun would become suspicious.

Of course it is impossible that Shen Xingxi saved the Prime Minister's life just because Mo Hongyun was sad.

Mo Hongyun's mother's deception was like a time bomb that would explode between the two of them sooner or later.

Coupled with her instigation today, the Prime Minister and Mo Hongyun are bound to become estranged.

Therefore, as long as the prime minister is alive, Mo Hongyun's progress in regaining power in the court will slow down.

She took Wan Yu into a wing room of an inn and asked coldly, "Do you know you are wrong?"

There were tears in Wan Yu's eyes, but she held back and didn't let the tears fall.

She lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Queen. I just wanted to make sure you were safe. I didn't expect you to be so angry. If I knew, I would definitely not cause any trouble for you the first time."
