"I have my own ideas." Cen Xiao raised his eyebrows, and a different meaning flashed in his eyes.

He turned around and thought about the two jars of wine in his room and let out a long sigh - he still couldn't send them out.

"Go to my room, get a jar of wine, and send it to the Shen Mansion." Cen Xiao waved his hand, then turned and left.

Early in the morning, all the ministers were waiting outside the Taiji Hall, but the sun had already risen and there was still no sign of the eunuch who had been summoned.

"Prime Minister Lu, what happened today? Does the emperor have something to deal with?" Someone came forward and asked.

Lu Mingfeng lazily raised his eyes, stretched his arms, glanced left and right, and then said: "The emperor has his own reasons for doing what he does. If you don't want to wait, why don't you go inside and ask?"

After being choked by Lu Mingfeng for no reason, the man had no choice but to leave.

Lu Mingfeng was spat at by Cen Weiwu in the Taiji Hall yesterday. By being able to attend the court today, he has already made a concession.

Not long after, the side door quietly opened, and the eunuch ran out with small steps, frowning slightly and said: "My lords, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Today, the emperor is not feeling well, so please go back."

For a moment, the crowd gathered and everyone talked at once, asking about the emperor's recent situation.

Only Lu Mingfeng on the side raised his eyebrows, with an almost undetectable sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The imperial physician has examined your majesty, so please rest assured, everyone." The eunuch bowed and then turned and left.

At that time, Shen Wantang was kneeling beside the Tai Chi Hall.

Ji Xunchuan's face did not look good. Normally his eyes were bright and sharp, but today he looked decadent. He barely supported himself on the dragon throne with his hands and then raised his body.

"I thought you had forgotten the mission I gave you." Ji Xunchuan snorted coldly, looked at the person in front of him and raised his eyebrows.

Shen Wantang bowed his head, his tone neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Majesty's orders, I dare not neglect them in the slightest. Now that there has been progress, I come to report to Your Majesty."

The eunuch at the side handed over the medicine and waited for Ji Xunchuan to drink it, but he drank it too quickly and choked twice.

"Tell me, what is the situation now?" Ji Xunchuan asked.

Seeing Ji Xunchuan looking so sickly, Shen Wantang frowned - he was fine yesterday, how come he became so weak overnight?

"Cen Xiao has now told me everything he knows, and his love for me is deep." Shen Wantang spoke slowly and tentatively.

But a trace of suspicion flashed across Ji Xunchuan's eyes. He snorted coldly and spoke slowly: "Are you serious?"

Shen Wantang knelt on the ground: "I won't say a single word falsely."

The suspicion in Ji Xunchuan's eyes finally dissipated a little.

"You came here today, don't you have anything else to tell me?" Thinking about General Shen, Ji Xunchuan raised his eyebrows and asked.

Shen Wantang pursed her lips and slowly raised her eyes: "My servant, can you really tell me?"

After he finished speaking, Ji Xunchuan smiled contemptuously, waved his hand, and sent away the eunuch who was serving him.

"You can say it, but I won't listen to you." Ji Xunchuan raised his eyebrows.

"I, your humble servant, dare to ask for a favor for my father. When Your Majesty ascended the throne, you asked my father what kind of gift he wanted, but he did not say it. I wonder if this gift still counts now?"

Shen Wantang's eyes were sharp, and his voice was trembling a little.

Ji Xunchuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes evasive: "The gift from that day was only from that day. Now your father is a criminal, how can you have the face to ask for a real gift?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes fell on Shen Wantang again, and he slowly stood up: "However, if you do things to my liking, I can consider giving you a gift."

"I heard that Lu Mingfeng invited you to his residence?"

Ji Xunchuan slowly walked down the stairs, looking down at Shen Wantang who was kneeling in front of him, the scrutiny in his eyes was unmistakable.

He really asked this question.

Ji Xunchuan lowered his eyes and said coldly: "I heard that a palace was built in the Prime Minister's Mansion in imitation of my Taiji Palace. I wonder if it is true or not?"

Shen Wantang raised his head, looked at Ji Xunchuan in front of him, and then slowly said: "Just as your majesty said."

Ji Xunchuan's eyes became fierce, and his pale face turned crimson purple due to depression.

Cough!

Ji Xunchuan coughed violently, then pulled up a sinister smile: "This Lu Mingfeng, I really underestimated him. I thought that at his age, he would not be able to stir up any waves. Letting him live out his days in peace is the greatest gift to him. After all, he also contributed a lot when I ascended the throne."

"I never thought that he would be so unsatisfied after becoming the prime minister, second only to the emperor. Now, he is plotting to usurp the throne."

Ji Xunchuan was so angry that he was shaking all over and coughing violently again.

Suddenly, there was a fishy smell in his mouth. He spread out his palms and a bright red color lay quietly in his palms.

"Your Majesty!" Shen Wantang stood up suddenly and supported Ji Xunchuan who was about to fall to the ground.

"Shen Wantang, I order you to arrest Lu Mingfeng and bring him to justice! If you can do it well, your father will be spared the death penalty." Ji Xunchuan staggered and grabbed Shen Wantang, only then did he manage to stand firm.

Shen Wantang nodded repeatedly: "I will definitely fulfill your mission!"

Coming out from the side door of the Taiji Hall, Shen Wantang felt puzzled.

The effect of this medicine is so fast!

The person who poisoned Ji Xunchuan must be someone from the palace. Now the only one who wants Ji Xunchuan dead is Lu Mingfeng.

Could it be the Imperial Concubine and the Concubine Shu?

The imperial concubine is Lu Mingfeng's biological sister. When Lu Mingfeng ascends the throne, she will be the true queen!

The title of *** is naturally more impressive than that of a concubine vying for favor in the harem!

Shen Wantang was so busy thinking that he didn't notice that a large group of people were coming towards him not far away.

"Someone, get it for me!"

A sarcastic voice sounded behind him. When Shen Wantang came to his senses, several fierce imperial guards still appeared beside him, ready to tie him up.

To enter the palace, one must take off all weapons. Shen Wantang just put his hand on his waist and then he realized that his waist was empty.

He fought several times with several strong imperial guards with his bare hands before he managed to stand firm.

Not far away, the imperial concubine came forward with a swaying step, and cast a contemptuous look on Shen Wantang: "You bitch, you dare to resist, do you know how sinful it is to disobey the emperor's order!"

"Disobeying the order? I am your Majesty's subject, and I will only obey your Majesty's order." Shen Wantang's eyes were sharp and his words were unforgiving.

"The Imperial Concubine is from the harem. She is just a concubine. Why is she interfering in the affairs of the former dynasty? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will issue an edict to blame you?"

As soon as the words fell, the calmness on the imperial concubine's face suddenly disappeared, and she frowned and looked at the person in front of her: "How dare you!"
