At fourteen, Song Wanning married into the Marquis's estate and became the main wife. However, her husband was a hypocrite, a self-proclaimed upright scholar who was determined to elevate his c...
Song Wanning said this, then looked at Wu Junrou and continued, "I advise Aunt to return home quickly. I won't do anything to you now. After all, the Prime Minister's grudge against you should be settled personally after he comes out of the palace."
Wu Junrou looked at Song Wanning and sneered, "Do you really think the Prime Minister can come out?"
Song Wanning looked at Wu Junrou with clear eyes, "Auntie, do you really think that I went out to have fun these days?"
When Wu Junrou heard this, her expression changed, and she asked in surprise, "How could you possibly be so capable?"
At this moment, Yin Yichen's voice came from behind Wu Junrou, "She naturally has such ability."
Wu Junrou turned around in surprise and saw Yin Yichen standing behind her, still looking like the powerful minister he was before. Wu Junrou looked at Yin Yichen in surprise and exclaimed, "You actually managed to get out of the palace? You actually?"
Yin Yichen slowly entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, looked at Wu Junrou and smiled, "I came out of the palace today. Is my aunt disappointed?"
Yin Yichen said as he slowly stood in front of Song Wanning, put his arm around her shoulders, and said to Wu Junrou beside him, "Aunt has been scheming for her whole life. I'm afraid she didn't expect that I could still get out this time, right?"
Wu Junrou nearly collapsed to the ground, trembling. Only now did she understand. How could Yin Yichen, a high-ranking official at the imperial court, be so easily manipulated by Yu Meiren and Gu Jie? These were merely his tricks.
In order to let those people in the palace relax their vigilance, he went to the palace. His men outside had already set up a tight net. On the one hand, he asked Song Wanning to find a way to rescue the emperor, and on the other hand, he sent people outside to search for the base camp of the traitor Gu Jie.
At this time, the poppy in the uterus had been controlled, and the emperor was recuperating in the queen's palace. The prime minister just came out of the palace as if nothing had happened.
Wu Junrou felt a wave of despair. She had been planning for her entire life, but she had never expected that in the end, it would all be in vain. Although she felt bad, she had come to the point where there was no way to change it. Even if she wanted to do something now, she couldn't.
"You can be considered a hero now. I have overlooked it over the years. You can decide whether to kill me or rob me." Wu Junrou's face was quite calm, and her voice was very cold when she looked at Yin Yichen.
"If I kill you, my mother won't be able to survive. In this case, it's better to keep you alive and let you atone for my mother's sins." Yin Yichen's eyes were light, and he spoke slowly, "Just wait and see, I'm afraid you will be happier in the days to come."
Wu Junrou smiled sadly, turned her head, and left the Prime Minister's Mansion tremblingly.
Yin Yichen looked at Song Wanning beside him and said softly, "Wanning, the overall situation is still uncertain, and I have to go out to work. You wait for me at home first."
Song Wanning looked at Yin Yichen and said softly, "I'll be waiting for you at home."

Red leaves on the mountain.
Concubine Lan listened to the report sent by her confidant and exclaimed in surprise, "What? The Prime Minister has taken control of all our people in the palace? Where's Yu'er? Is the Emperor willing that she's been controlled?"
"The Prime Minister and the Empress committed a blasphemous act, drugging the Emperor and causing him to faint. Senior Sister Ziyu is currently under control. The young prince's authority in the capital has also been revoked, and he's currently unsure of what to do in the capital." Concubine Lan's confidant expressed concern and said to her, "Your Majesty, Yin Yichen is incredibly treacherous. He deliberately set up an undercover operation to lull us into complacency, while secretly deploying forces to catch us off guard. Your Majesty, you must think of a solution, or we'll be doomed."
Concubine Lan looked at her trusted aides and said slowly, "Is the Prime Minister planning a rebellion? He actually disregards the Emperor's orders. If they don't find the mage, the Emperor might not wake up. If that's the case, we still have a chance."
Seeing this, Lan Fei's close confidants spoke up beside her, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to do anything right now. Those people who went to look for the magician haven't returned yet. I wonder if they were killed outside."
Lan Fei was finally panicking. "This wizard has always been against me, and he's still against me now. It really makes me angry."
Concubine Lan was cursing when a killer came in from outside and shouted to her, "Oh no, oh no, my lady! Yin Yichen and his men have arrived at the foot of the mountain. I'm afraid they'll attack the mountain soon."
Lan Fei looked at the assassin beside her in disbelief, "How did Yin Yichen find out about us?"
Concubine Lan's close associates sighed as they looked at her, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Yin Yichen has long been targeting us, and is using our tactics to feign ignorance and trace our base. What should we do now? Your Majesty, please make plans early."
Concubine Lan looked at the people around her and asked, "Order someone to go down the mountain from the small path and find the young prince. No matter what, the rest doesn't matter."
As soon as Concubine Lan said this, she didn't expect to hear Yin Yichen's voice not far away.
Yin Yichen looked at Concubine Lan and smiled faintly, "Madam Lan, the young prince is already in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. There is no need for you to go to such trouble."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Lan's expression suddenly changed. She glanced towards the doorway and immediately spotted Yin Yichen standing there. He was dressed in silver-grey armor, a stark contrast to his usual dignified appearance. Beside him was Song Wanning's eldest brother, Song Lan.
Seeing this, Concubine Lan stood up immediately and asked in surprise, "How did you get up the mountain so quickly?"
Yin Yichen looked at Concubine Lan and said slowly, "Concubine Lan, do you really think your plan is perfect? Think about it, you've already used this trick once during the reign of the previous emperor. It was because of your actions that the court was in chaos, which led to my father's death in the struggle. Do you think I wouldn't think too much when I learned that Concubine Yu was good at playing the zither and could confuse people?"
Lan Fei finally understood everything now and said to Yin Yichen, "So, you've already had doubts about Yu'er so long ago."
Yin Yichen looked at Concubine Lan and spoke word by word, "The reason I didn't get angry and played along was because I wanted to see you. If it weren't for you, my parents wouldn't have died. I've been holding a grudge for ten years."
