Watching the servants of the Prime Minister's residence file out, sweeping away the food and drinks on the table like autumn leaves in the wind, leaving not even a cup of cold tea, Chen Changyun was completely dismayed.

Zhao Wu walked up to Yuan Yun and snatched the box she was holding back.

"You!" Yuan Yun gritted her teeth in anger.

Chen Changyun, feeling embarrassed, asked, "What does the young prime minister mean by this?"

"I thought you were one of the Left Prime Minister's men. What a waste of my time!"

Zhao Cheng reverted to his previous spoiled attitude, plopping down in a chair and putting his legs up on the tea table.

Chen Changyun said, "But I am also a member of the imperial court!"

"There are plenty of people in the imperial court, who do you think you are?"

"Outrageous!!" Yuan Yun, unable to bear it any longer, walked over and glared at Zhao Cheng, saying sharply, "Have you ever thought about who sent us? Don't you want to know who's behind us?"

There's no need for that.

"What's the meaning?"

"You servant have no manners at all! Very well, I, this young master, will teach you a lesson!" Zhao Cheng jumped up, walked up to Yuan Yun, deliberately stared at her facial features, and then looked at her chest.

Yuan Yun quickly turned to the side.

"I don't know about other places, but in Yanchuan, to be frank, they only know the Left Prime Minister and not His Majesty!"

Zhao Cheng clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to the west, then said, "Tell me, in the entire court, who is more powerful than the Left Prime Minister? Even my father, who was the Left Prime Minister's teacher, only dared to tuck his tail between his legs and act like a grandson in front of the Left Prime Minister!"

"Who's behind you? Could they be more powerful than the Left Prime Minister?"

"This is an absolute joke!!!"

“Behind us…” Yuan Yun’s face was flushed with anger.

“Ah Yun.” Chen Changyun shook his head.

Zhao Cheng snorted coldly and shouted, "Show the guest out!"

Seeing Yuan Yun still standing there in a daze, Zhao Cheng leaned closer to her, reached out and pinched her cheek, saying, "So smooth..."

"Ah!!" Yuan Yun screamed.

Chen Changyun roared, "You deserve to die!!"

"My lord, you're so impressive! Investigating a case late at night with a girl disguised as a man! What's wrong with me touching her? Is it a capital offense? Is she some kind of princess??"

you do not say!!

Chen Changyun had no way to express his bitterness, and in his heart he cursed Zhao Cheng, "Are you courting death?!"

You're asking for it, fine, but don't drag me down with you!

Zhao Wu blocked Chen Changyun's path, while Zhao Cheng walked towards Yuan Yun.

Seeing Zhao Cheng's aggressive demeanor, Yuan Yun finally felt a pang of fear and exclaimed in surprise, "What are you going to do?"

"I'd say I have an exceptionally good eye, and even though you're dressed like a man, I can tell you're a stunning beauty. Why don't you stay tonight? I still have room in my bed..."

Zhao Cheng raised his hand to take off Yuan Yun's hat, but just as he was about to continue speaking, his gaze fell on the starfruit branch outside the window, and especially after seeing the warning look on the starfruit branch, he immediately stopped.

Even so, Yuan Yun was still terrified and quickly ran outside.

"You, you, you..." Chen Changyun pointed at Zhao Cheng and retreated towards the door, saying, "Zhao Cheng! It's a disgrace for the Right Chancellor to have a son like you! A disgrace indeed!!"

"Zhao Huan has no successor!!!"

"The Right Prime Minister's residence is doomed!!!"

Chen Changyun screamed and ran out of the Right Prime Minister's residence, never wanting to come back again in his life.

As soon as Yuan Yun and Chen Changyun left, Zhao Cheng quickly found Yang Taozhi, his expression returned to normal, and he subconsciously fastened his clothes.

"What's going on?"

Just now, when he was about to make further advances towards Yuan Yun, Yang Taozhi gave him a warning look.

He knew that unless there was real danger, Yang Taozhi wouldn't stop him.

Yang Taozhi did not answer immediately, but looked around for a while and said, "Someone just entered the manor."

Zhao Cheng asked doubtfully, "Even you can't catch them?"

Yang Taozhi confessed, "I wouldn't have even noticed them if they hadn't been planning to attack you."

Zhao Cheng was genuinely surprised.

Yang Taozhi is a master among masters. If even she couldn't detect someone, how good must her hiding skills be?

At this moment, He Zhi ran over, shook his head at Yang Taozhi, and said, "They've left."

Yang Taozhi said, "These people are skilled at hiding and stealth, and should be experts who mainly specialize in guarding and assassination."

Zhao Cheng's mind raced, and he said, "When I was being aggressive towards Chen Changyun, they didn't react. But when I tried to make a move against that woman, they did. It seems they're protecting that woman."

Yang Taozhi thought for a moment and said, "Chen Changyun is a close minister of the emperor. I know some of the experts in the palace. He wouldn't be able to hide under my nose for so long."

He Zhi interjected, "Could it be that one we've never met before..."

"Dragon Guards?" Yang Taozhi's eyes lit up suddenly. "Very likely!"

"To be protected by the Dragon Guards..." He Zhi looked at Zhao Cheng and said, "That woman's identity is no simple matter!"

Zhao Cheng murmured, "The emperor's concubines can't leave the palace, and the emperor won't send the Imperial Guards to protect them. But when I saw that woman's face, Chen Changyun looked so nervous, and even said I deserved to die..."

Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Holy crap!!"

"Doesn't the emperor have an older sister?" Zhao Cheng looked at Yang Taozhi and He Zhi alternately, completely bewildered.

"I might have really offended the princess!!!"

...

In the following days, He Yin made a lot of noise in Yanchuan. He called Xu An, Li Guanyu, Dong Hua, Yang Cai'e, and all the participants and witnesses related to Wang Yufeng's murder to have private conversations with them.
