After understanding the thoughts of animals, I became more successful in escaping famine!

The prime minister's wife has always known his ambitions. She used to want to support Prince Huan to ascend the throne so that she could control him, but in the end Prince Huan was defeated. The prime minister was unwilling to be under someone else's control, and the emperor sent Xu Lian to the border, which made the prime minister even more frustrated. He could not disobey the emperor's intentions, so he could only bear it silently.

Fortunately, everything is over now. Yun Che is not in the capital, and his people can lead the troops to defend the capital. They are not afraid of Yun Che and his men coming back at all. When the time comes, they will definitely prevent Yun Che from entering the city.

Now, the prime minister only needs to control the emperor, so that he can secretly modify the imperial edict. If he wants to rebel, who can stop him?

"Since we have to do it, sir, you have to be careful..." The prime minister's wife was in cahoots with the corrupt officials and would not try to persuade them. After all, as long as the prime minister became the emperor, she would be the queen, second only to him and above everyone else. What's wrong with that?

The prime minister nodded, put his arm around his wife's shoulders, and whispered in her ear, "Madam, when this is done, our good days are still to come."

"it is good."

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had seen the final outcome: they had won.

But this is just the most beautiful fantasy of the two. In reality, it is hard to say whether it can succeed.

……

now.

In the palace.

The emperor was also preparing to rest, but he sighed from time to time.

The senior eunuch beside him served the emperor and brought him a cup of soothing tea.

"Your Majesty, drink and then rest."

"Chunzhi, how many years have you followed me?" The emperor took the teacup, looked at him and asked gently.

Chunzhi is the name of this eunuch. When he entered the palace and met the emperor, he had no name. The emperor gave him this name. The emperor would only call him that when they were in private.

"To answer your Majesty, it has been fifty years." Chunzhi replied calmly with a smile on his face.

While drinking tea, the emperor lamented that time passed quickly and fifty years passed in the blink of an eye.

“Everyone in the palace has a lot of ideas right now, and many memorials have been submitted, all wanting to impeach Yun Che and have me deal with him immediately. Chunzhi, do you think Yun Che will betray me?” The emperor actually had the answer in his heart all along. He knew Yun Che’s loyalty, but most of those ministers were the prime minister’s men.

They followed the prime minister's orders and forced him to take action against Yun Che. This was the emperor's biggest headache. After all, as a ruler, he could not be too partial to Yun Che.

Now he just planned to wait and see until Yun Che returned to the capital, then everything would be clear.

"Your Majesty, General Yun has always been loyal and will never have any second thoughts about Your Majesty, so I think those things are just rumors and Your Majesty should not believe them." Chunzhi told the truth and did not hide anything from the emperor.

After hearing this, the emperor smiled and nodded.

“I knew you would say this. You are the only one who cares about Yun Che and knows what he is thinking. I watched Yun Che grow up. Even if he did not live in the palace, I know that even if he chose to die, he would never have second thoughts about me. Those ministers are eager to drag Yun Che down with them. Only when he dies can they push others to the throne. I am also disappointed…” When the emperor said this, his face sank silently and he handed the teacup in his hand to Chunzhi.

“Your Majesty, don’t think too much. It’s been a long time since the last time we went there. General Yun will surely be able to return to the capital soon. As for the soldiers of the Yun family army, they have never recognized the military tokens and only recognized General Yun. Even if other people are sent there, they cannot be mobilized.” While Chunzhi was speaking, he helped the emperor lie down first and told him all this. The emperor knew it in his heart, but he was just worried that Yun Che would be persecuted by the prime minister.

After the emperor fell asleep, Chunzhi extinguished the candles in the room and left the bedroom.

There were people guarding outside the bedroom. In addition to a few guards, there was Chunzhi's little apprentice, Li Cheng, a young eunuch who had just been promoted. He was very sensible in front of Chunzhi.

"Master, has the emperor gone to bed?" Li Cheng asked, and went over to support Chunzhi. The two talked as they walked.

"I'm asleep. It's just that I've been worried about a lot of things recently. When you serve the emperor these days, don't mention General Yun often. Let's wait until he comes back to talk about everything. The emperor is really concerned about General Yun, which is why he feels so uncomfortable." Chunzhi sighed silently and shook his head helplessly.

But when Li Cheng heard these words, he was confused and asked Chunzhi in confusion.

"Master, how can you be sure that General Yun didn't really rebel? Even if the emperor asked him to return to the capital, he might just be pretending..." Li Cheng just had such a guess, but Chunzhi slapped him on the head and stared at him with a look of disappointment.

"Little thing, swallow all these words back to your stomach from now on! I know exactly who General Yun is!"

Li Cheng was also frightened when he heard Chunzhi's angry words. He just made a random guess and angered Chunzhi, so he quickly knelt on the ground.

"Master, I will never say that again. Please don't be angry. You have been exhausted these days. I will send you back to rest first. You still have to serve the emperor tomorrow." Li Cheng was well-behaved and knew to coax Chunzhi first.

"Okay, get up quickly and remember to say less of these words." Chunzhi reminded again.

Li Cheng also nodded quickly, then followed Chunzhi back to his residence.

……

The next day.

In the village near the capital.

Song Wanning got up early, stretched herself, and glanced at Yun Che who was still sleeping beside her. She tried to pinch the tip of Yun Che's nose, but within a few seconds he grabbed her wrist tightly. Yun Che turned over and pressed Song Wanning under him. His eyes were dark, but there was still a hint of smile in the corners of his eyes.

“Wan Ning, if you tease me like this again, don’t blame me for being rude to you.” Yun Che said this and actually reached out to pull Song Wan Ning’s clothes.

Song Wanning pushed him away with all her strength, kicked him away, quickly jumped off the bed, and stared at Yun Che vigilantly.

“I was already exhausted last night. I won’t come today no matter what. What’s more, we have to hurry on our way. We will reach the capital in two days. Yun Che, you should at least restrain yourself.” Song Wanning said unhappily.

Yun Che smiled and nodded, then he got off the bed and came to Song Wanning's side. He hugged her tightly in his arms, scratched her nose with his hand, and said lovingly, "Don't worry, I will never let you get tired. I was just teasing you just now. We will set off after breakfast."

Just as Yun Che finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open and Li Yu Niang came over with toiletries. She didn't expect that the two of them would be so bold so early in the morning. She felt a little embarrassed.

She knew that they slept together last night, but... but they just woke up and hugged each other blatantly. Li Yu Niang was at a loss, feeling that she had disturbed them...
