"Your Majesty! Your Majesty has something else for me to do. I am sorry for the rudeness."

As soon as the imperial concubine opened her mouth, Shen Wantang's voice became higher and she refuted her. His sharp eyes never left the imperial concubine's body. Then he half squatted and turned to leave.

"Stop her!" The imperial concubine still refused to give up and stretched out her hand, pointing at Shen Wantang.

As soon as Shen Wantang turned around, the imperial guards beside him pounced on him.

Shen Wantang dodged left and right, stretched out his hand and grabbed the sword hanging on the waist of the imperial guard. He pulled it hard, and dodged again, and the sword was placed on the neck of the imperial guard.

"I am the emperor's man, who dares to touch me?"

I didn't want to bring these things to the table, but now the imperial concubine is so unforgiving, there is no need for Shen Wantang to save face with her.

"You are the daughter of a guilty minister, yet you dare to drag His Majesty into this. You are so bold!" The imperial concubine bit back.

"My Lady, the harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs. You are so bold now. Are you relying on the Prime Minister's face? My father is a criminal, but the emperor is still willing to use me. But if you still do this, be careful that the Prime Minister will be imprisoned. Then, you will become the criminal's family member."

A hint of coldness flashed across Shen Wantang's eyes.

Without waiting for the imperial concubine to say anything in rebuttal, Shen Wantang turned around and slashed the imperial guards with his sword.

The imperial guards felt pain and had no time to stop him. Shen Wantang jumped up and turned away.

"You are such a good fellow, Shen Wantang! Once your brother is done with his plan, you and your father will be killed!"

The imperial concubine murmured in a low voice.

After meeting the Imperial Concubine, Shen Wantang's doubts were resolved.

It seems that the Lu brothers and sisters are plotting against Ji Xunchuan together.

How could Ji Xunchuan, a man with such deep thoughts, be plotted against like this and not dare to say anything?

The carriage was shaking, Shen Wantang's eyes were cold, and he was thinking about Ji Xunchuan's matter...

Returning to the somewhat dilapidated mansion, Shen Wantang suddenly recalled several memories.

Suddenly, there were some noises not far away. Shen Wantang glanced over with a sharp gaze, the arrow in his sleeve ready, but a familiar figure jumped over the wall.

"Miss!"

Bai Ge hurried forward and knelt on the ground.

"Bai Ge has done a bad job, please punish me, young lady!" Bai Ge leaned over to the ground, his voice shrill.

Now is a time of turmoil, and we no longer care whether to punish or not.

"Hurry up!" Shen Wantang frowned and leaned over to help Bai Ge up. "What information have you found out these days?"

"When the master got into trouble, I set out to look for the young lady, but by then, the young lady had already left for Beijing, so I was unable to convey the master's situation to the young lady."

The white dove's eyes are slightly red.

"After the young lady went to Jiangzhou, Aunt Liu also panicked. Although the wet nurse is dead, many clues have been found. Now the informants have been locked up by me. This is their confession. They confessed that Liu poisoned the late lady."

Bai Ge handed over the item in his sleeve and said with a frown.

Shen Wantang opened it with trembling hands, and when she saw this thing, her face was already covered with tears.

"But now, Aunt Liu is dead, and Miss can't take revenge herself..." Bai Ge frowned.

Shen Wantang suddenly frowned - why did Aunt Liu, who cherished her life, die in such an unclear way?

"On that day, when the emperor was out for a trip, the second young lady secretly ran away in order to meet the emperor. No matter how Aunt Liu tried to dissuade her, she refused to listen. As a result, Aunt Liu was furious and even wanted to break the second young lady's legs. The second young lady found a bag of arsenic..."

What happened next was too cruel, murdering one's own mother. It's disgusting to talk about it.

But Shen Wantang had an indifferent expression. He just put the testimony in his hand down and put it at his waist.

Shen Ying was able to murder her own father. She was cold-hearted.

Aunt Liu planned for her whole life, but ended up being poisoned to death by her own daughter, whom she held in the palm of her hand. It is really sad.

"Bai Ge, from today on, you will go to the Cen family. If you have any news, pass it to me." Shen Wantang fixed his eyes and regained his usual calmness.

Cen family?

The white dove was in a trance for a moment.

"Remember, you can only trust Cen Xiao. If anyone else asks you, just don't say anything." Shen Wantang reminded him.

Bai Ge’s eyes were fixed: “Bai Ge will keep it in mind.”

Then, Shen Wantang raised his head and looked at the sun - calculating the time, the person who should come should have arrived.

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, there was a muffled knock at the door.

The white dove suddenly disappeared. Shen Wantang let out a long sigh and then slowly walked forward.

When the door of the mansion opened, the first person he saw was that familiar face again - the man who came to take Shen Wantang to the Lu Mansion on the night he returned to Beijing.

"I wonder if you have considered it carefully, young lady? If you miss this wonderful job, you will never come across it again in your lifetime."

The man raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly.

Shen Wantang had a respectable smile on his face, nodded, and then said: "Sir, it's really a coincidence that you came. I was just about to leave when you came."

Having said that, Shen Wantang walked out the door.

Looking at Shen Wantang's back, a hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, but he didn't say anything else and followed closely.

Once I go to Lu Mansion this time, I’m afraid I won’t come out until the matter is accomplished.

Shen Wantang lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the sky.

In just a moment, they arrived at the gate of Lu Mansion.

"Please come in, Miss Shen. Our master has been waiting for you for a long time." The man still had that smile on his face, which made people's hearts tremble.

This time when he entered the room, he didn't cover his eyes with a black cloth.

With the maid leading the way, Shen Wantang was able to take a thorough look at the mansion.

"Miss Shen, you are so lucky. This is the first time that our Prime Minister has entertained guests like this."

The maid beside him looked quite old, probably a manager, and she spoke in a somewhat flattering manner, "Our Prime Minister has specially ordered a very nice courtyard to be arranged for you. This courtyard is even more magnificent than our Madam's!"

Shen Wantang understood the meaning of the words clearly. She raised her eyebrows and snorted coldly: "Madam, if your wife heard what you said, she would beat you to death."

The smile on the maid's face froze, and her mouth immediately closed without saying anything more.

As soon as she entered the yard, Lu Mingfeng came up to her, with a smile on his face. He reached out his hand and tried to hold Shen Wantang's hand: "You really didn't disappoint me. You are a smart person."

Shen Wantang stood still, with his hands behind his back, and raised his eyebrows: "Prime Minister, I just came here, but I haven't agreed to your request yet. Now, my request has changed again. If you can satisfy me, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
