After leaving the mansion, Tang Huan originally intended to leave directly, but stopped and thought for about half a minute before turning back to Chunfeng Tower.

He specifically asked for two girls, Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, and arranged a private room for them.

The two girls, just like when they last met, showed a hint of restraint and anticipation in front of Tang Huan.

"Do you know how to do makeup?" Tang Huan asked the two of them.

"Yes." Xiaoqing nodded. "The building will teach us makeup. Xiaobai is very good at makeup, and the older ladies often come to her for help."

Tang Huan glanced at the quiet Xiao Bai and said, "Go and find all your rouge."

A few minutes later, Xiaobai returned with a delicate little box. She opened the box, revealing the bottles and jars inside.

"How would you like to dress, sir?" Xiaobai asked.

Tang Huan casually replied, "Whatever, as long as it's not too similar to the current situation."

Since he was going to visit the Empress's confidants, he couldn't go as Tang Huan, so he decided to disguise himself.

Of course, you could cover your face with a mask, but that would be too deliberate and too easy for people to notice.

Who can say for sure whether there are people secretly watching those people outside their residences?

Xiao Bai's hands are delicate and steady.

The whole process lasted about half an hour. When the bronze mirror was placed in front of Tang Huan, the face in the mirror was already different.

After careful makeup, Tang Huan's face had a colder look, and her cheeks looked thinner.

If you look closely, you can still find similarities, but it's enough for now.

Tang Huan stood up and thanked the two of them.

Before leaving, he took out a few silver notes from his pocket and placed them on the table. "I originally planned to take you as my maids, but then I thought about it and I don't know if you'd be willing. This money should be enough for you two to redeem yourselves. After that, you can decide what you want to do."

After saying that, Tang Huan left the room.

On the table behind him were several large-denomination silver notes. Xiaoqing and Xiaobai were dumbfounded. They looked at each other, wondering why the Poet Immortal had suddenly done this.

Just as he was leaving, he bumped into a woman rushing towards him.

Tang Huan brushed past the woman, who did not recognize him.

As Tang Huan went downstairs, she vaguely heard Rouge sighing helplessly from inside the private room.

After leaving Chunfeng Tower, Tang Huan found a shop at random, changed his clothes, and then set off again.

By this point, he had completely changed his appearance.

The common people, who had hardly ever seen him before, could not recognize him at all. Who would have thought that a man with a grumpy face at all times would be the legendary kind and gentle poet?

Tang Huan's first destination was the residence of the Minister of Revenue.

Tang Huan had been here once before and remembered the location.

Instead of entering through the main entrance, he easily climbed over the back wall to enter.

There weren't many people patrolling the Ministry of Revenue's residence, so he easily found Wang Tianze in his study.

Without hesitation, Tang Huan quickly opened the door and went inside, then closed it again.

Who are you?

Wang Tianze was slightly surprised to see a stranger appear in his residence without causing any commotion.

But he remained calm, saying, "No matter who you are, as long as you leave immediately, I can pretend nothing happened."

Tang Huan chuckled softly, "Lord Wang, it hasn't been that long since we last met, don't you recognize me?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Wang Tianze looked closely at Tang Huan's face, asking in surprise, "Lord Tang?"

Tang Huan sat down in front of Wang Tianze and, without any hesitation, drank the cup of tea that the other party hadn't had time to drink and that had gone cold.

"My lord, what is this?" Wang Tianze asked, puzzled.

Faced with the question, Tang Huan didn't waste any words. He took out the jade pendant that represented the Empress's identity and placed it directly on the table.

This jade pendant had been with Tang Huan for a long time, but he had always used it only as a pass and was unaware that it had other uses.

It wasn't until today, when I parted ways with Wu Lanxi, that I realized what this jade pendant meant.

Upon seeing the jade pendant, Wang Tianze's expression immediately turned solemn. He said in a deep voice, "Lord Tang!"

"His Majesty has made a decision. She is going to take action against Cui Renshi. You are someone His Majesty trusts, so I came to you to ask for your advice. You have had a lot of dealings with Cui Renshi and know him better than I do."

"really?"

After wondering about it, Wang Tianze realized that he had asked a useless question.

Otherwise, why would Tang Huan have gone to so much trouble?

"It's a bit too early to act now. We haven't prepared many things yet, and it's easy to alert the enemy," Wang Tianze expressed his concerns.

Tang Huan looked at the other person, "Do you think we shouldn't act so quickly?"

“Yes, although Cui Renshi should indeed be eliminated, if His Majesty is not dealt with without a suitable reason, he will face a lot of criticism, and the Cui faction will not sit idly by. Moreover, if Cui Renshi dies, who will sit in the prime minister’s position?”

"His Majesty has promised me that I can choose any position after the matter is accomplished. If no one is willing to be the prime minister, then I will be the prime minister."

“I understand. So what are your thoughts? How do you get rid of Cui Renshi? Although we all know he has done a lot of bad things over the years, we don’t have much concrete evidence, so it won’t be easy to bring him down directly.”

"I'm prepared to give them a taste of their own medicine," Tang Huan said.

Wang Tianze pondered for a moment, then asked in shock, "You're planning to assassinate him?"

Tang Huan laughed, "Yes, this is the simplest and most effective method, and it can also avoid a lot of trouble."

However, this is also the most dangerous and difficult approach.

However, Tang Huan was confident that with the assistance of Li Daikui and Xue Qi, plus the numerous mercenaries in Qihuai County, they could find many opportunities.

The two discussed the matter seriously in the study for a long time, during which Tang Huan shared many of his insights, a rare occurrence for him.

It wasn't until dusk that Tang Huan hurriedly left the Ministry of Revenue's residence.

But he didn't stop after that, because there were still many things to do and many people to meet.

Pang Conglong's residence, the Ministry of Justice Minister's residence, the Court of Judicial Review...

Everyone trusted by Empress Wu Lanxi and possessing a certain amount of power that could be used in this matter received an audience with Tang Huan.

That night, Tang Huan met with many people, carrying the token representing her status as the Empress.

On an ordinary night, a plan was put into action.

A complex and massive plan is slowly unfolding, and at the final moment, Tang Huan's knife will precisely and fatally pierce Cui Renshi's chest.

By the time everyone had finished their visits, it was already the morning of the next day.

Tang Huan wasn't sleepy at all. She randomly found a breakfast stall, quickly ate a few steamed buns, drank a bowl of porridge, and left.

The boss's voice sounded somewhat familiar, but he didn't have time to think about it too much.

That morning, Tang Huan ran into Cui Yuanzhao, who was returning home early, near the Prime Minister's residence.
