Rebirth of the Beautiful Repaying Gratitude: Quick Transmigration and Childbirth System
Chapter 131: The Prime Minister vs. the Qinhuai Singer (15)
Liu Qianyu looked at the boy in front of her who was obsessed.
I thought to myself, brother, if you die, I will fail in my mission and die too.
Liu Qianyu finally couldn't bear it and sighed.
"Young Master, this is also revenge for my father's murder. If you fail, I will perish together with the Fifth Prince. We will all die in the end anyway, so we might as well work out a solution together."
"Besides, I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Sister Yu!"
Yun Zimo excitedly held Liu Qianyu's hand, but then realized it was inappropriate and let go reluctantly.
"Sister Yu, I will never let anything happen to you!" Yun Zimo promised.
I have to be cautious in every step and not put her in any danger.
I can't get into any trouble. I have to protect you, my sister Yu.
Therefore, Yun Zimo used the "Xinglin Chunnuan" drugstore as a secret base and carefully built a huge and complex spy network.
He cleverly used the business operation of the drugstore as a cover and integrated intelligence gathering and transmission into daily operations.
He recruited and trained a group of loyal and reliable spies, and also secretly cultivated a large number of dark guards with high martial arts skills.

In the study of the fifth prince Yuwen Shuo, the flickering candlelight illuminated his exhausted face as he was absorbed in music and sex.
He sat at his desk, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, making a steady and rhythmic sound.
Li Shilang, the aide at the side, stood with his head down, looking focused, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
He knew the Fifth Prince's temper and methods very well, so he was always on guard so as not to anger this moody prince.
"Minister Li, do you think Yun Zimo is just a commoner?"
The fifth prince suddenly asked, with a probing tone in his voice.
Minister Li quickly replied respectfully.
"According to my investigation, it is indeed true. Yun Zimo is a man of extraordinary talent, having passed the imperial examinations and becoming the first in the imperial examinations. What is even more rare is that he is meticulous and low-key. Not long after he entered the court as an official, he quickly distinguished himself in the court and was highly regarded by the emperor."
"Now, he has become a close minister to the emperor, responsible for drafting documents for the emperor. His position is very important."
"Oh? Is it really that amazing? Looks like we have to win him over and not let the prince get ahead of us."
Upon hearing this, Minister Li understood the Fifth Prince's intention and responded respectfully.
"I understand what Your Highness means. I will make arrangements right away and make sure Yun Zimo becomes our man."
The fifth prince Yuwen Shuo nodded with satisfaction, looking confident.
"Okay, go ahead and do it. I believe in your ability, and I also believe that Yun Zimo will know what to do."
At the same time, the Prince's Eastern Palace.
Crown Prince Yuwen Hao looked pale and weak, but his eyes revealed an unquestionable firmness.
"Mr. Yun is a man of great talent and a pillar of the country. I am very pleased. I hope you can assist the government in the future and work together for the prosperity of the country."
The prince's words were full of admiration and expectation.
Yun Zimo bowed and saluted, looking humble.
"Your Highness, thank you for your praise. I am just lucky to be selected. I don't deserve the title of a pillar of the country. I am willing to serve Your Highness and the Emperor with all my heart and soul until my death. I hope Your Highness will give me more guidance and work together for great achievements."
When the prince heard this, he understood what Yun Zimo meant.
He waved his hands and signaled Yun Zimo to stand up.
"Yun Qing is too modest. Your talent and ability are obvious to all. But, as for my fifth brother..."
"If the Fifth Prince invites me, I will clearly inform him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already invited me, and I have resolutely refused. I have made up my mind and am willing to be a lone minister."
Yun Zimo pretended to be loyal to the prince.
"I feel that hiding in the dark may help me gain a more comprehensive insight into the current situation and offer advice to Your Highness to help him achieve his great cause."
The prince laughed and nodded in praise.
"Good! I am very lucky to have such a loyal and wise minister like you. I am very pleased that you are willing to hide in the dark and give me advice. I hope you will continue to serve as my loyal minister and help me rule the world."
"I will do my best to live up to your highness's expectations." Yun Zimo bowed again.
The prince nodded, with worry in his eyes.
"Fifth brother is very scheming and ruthless, you must be careful."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I will obey your orders."
After leaving the Prince's Mansion, Yun Zimo got on the carriage and returned home, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
From then on, he hid in the dark and stirred up the situation.
He must abandon his extreme means of revenge; he already has people to protect.
He needs to adopt a more cautious and careful strategy.
Be cautious and careful at every step.

After hearing the report from his staff, the fifth prince Yuwen Shuo became furious and smashed the teacup in his hand.
However, on second thought, the prince had not been able to win over Yun Zimo, so he was not completely inferior to the prince.
The fifth prince Yuwen Shuo snorted coldly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
"How dare a commoner like him reject me? I want to see how capable he is!"
Minister Li stood aside, secretly trying to figure out the Fifth Prince's intentions. He cautiously tested the situation.
"What is your plan, Your Highness?"
The Fifth Prince's mouth curled up into a cold smile, his eyes full of calculations. He sneered coldly.
"Since he calls himself a lone minister and is unwilling to take sides easily, I will give him a reason to choose. I want him to know that in this vortex of the struggle for imperial power, it is not so easy to remain neutral."

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight is as bright as a silver thread, gently covering the magnificent palace with a layer of silver gauze.
In the Imperial Garden, all kinds of colorful lanterns hang high on the branches, complementing the bright moonlight and making the night look like a dream.
The aroma of incense and wine intertwined in the air, drifting gently with the breeze, creating a warm yet solemn atmosphere.
Yun Zimo stood in front of his mansion, looking at the bright moon in the night sky, but his heart was unsettled.
He felt that tonight's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was of great significance.
"Young Master, it's getting late. It's time to set off." Liu Hetai reminded.
Yun Zimo withdrew his thoughts, nodded, turned around and stepped into the carriage.
The banquet officially began, and the Imperial Garden was bustling with people.
Emperor Jiyuan and the Empress Dowager sat high on the main seats with smiles on their faces.
The sixth princess, Yu Wanyan, wore a cotton dress embroidered with gold patterns, the hem of her skirt swaying gently like a blooming peony.
She sat beside the queen, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation.
The princes and princesses were in their own groups, while the court officials gathered in groups of three or five, talking in low voices.
Yun Zimo sat in an inconspicuous corner, trying to keep a low profile and blend into the background.
However, his handsome face and otherworldly temperament attracted the attention of people around him like a magnet.
The musicians played melodious music and the dancers danced gracefully, adding a touch of elegance and liveliness to the banquet.
However, Yun Zimo had no intention of appreciating all this. He just felt extremely anxious and wanted to return home as soon as possible.
The Sixth Princess Yu Wanyan could not move her gaze away from the figure sitting quietly in the corner.
Seeing this, the princess's personal maid whispered in her ear.
"Princess, that is this year's number one scholar, Yun Zimo,"
The more the princess looked at him, the more her heart was moved. She liked such a handsome young man.
What is even more rare is his calmness and indifference, as if nothing in the world can shake his determination.
No wonder people say that this year's number one scholar is a rare talent, extraordinarily handsome and talented.
The princess nodded gently, two red clouds quietly appeared on her cheeks, and the feelings in her heart quietly grew.
She whispered shyly into the queen's ear.
"Mother, I...I have taken a liking to that number one scholar."
