However, he also said later that even if today's plan fails, there is a next step, it just needs some time.

The Prime Minister told the Empress not to worry and to take the opportunity to sound out the Emperor's opinion.

"Let me go and sound out their intentions? Heh, Jing Yao probably doesn't want to see me now, so there's no need to go."

The Empress waved her hand, signaling Wu Mama to leave: "I am very happy now, who wants to go looking for trouble?"

"An San, come and serve me during my bath."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A man in black appeared out of nowhere and soon entered the bathhouse naked.

The strong man embraced the most noble woman, forcefully covering her soft red lips with his own, and possessed her.

"...Hmm...Young people are so strong, heh~I like it~..."

"If Your Majesty is pleased..."

"Hmm..."

The ambiguous noises echoed throughout the room.

...

A small alley in the southern part of the city.

In an unassuming private room of a restaurant, several officials who had just returned from court were gathered together.

The leader was none other than the current Prime Minister, Mu Hongbo.

The others were also important officials in the court: the Minister of Revenue, the Right Vice Minister of Revenue, the Left and Right Vice Ministers of War, and the Left and Right Censors of the Censorate.

"What's the deal with that Yuan Zhengqi?"

The Prime Minister looked at the Minister of Revenue. He had arranged everything, so how could things have gone wrong?

"I'm also puzzled. The person who dealt with it last night personally stabbed him in the chest with a dagger and only left after he stopped breathing."

The Minister of Revenue felt a chill run down his spine: "Who knew he was still alive? Not only alive, but lively and energetic, he didn't look injured at all."

"It's really weird."

God knows that the moment he saw Yuan Zhengqi this morning, his heart nearly stopped in fright, and he thought that a vengeful spirit had come to claim his life.
