The imperial concubine narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression turning sinister.

What Consort Yi said was true, because of the Empress. Even honest and kind people can learn that trick from them.

This surprised her a little.

Consort Yi was quite perceptive; noticing that Consort Gui seemed somewhat interested, she provoked her.

She deliberately spoke slowly and deliberately, as if trying to sow discord: "Wen Jinghao is so useless. She was the one who approached us in the first place. Why is she not doing anything now?"

"How about we..."

The imperial concubine glared and slammed her hand on the table.

"Don't talk too much, or the walls may have ears!"

"However, that woman Wen Jinghao is indeed too slow in her work. I will handle it. You don't need to ask any more questions!"

At a certain time—

Ever since Wen Jinghao visited the Xiang family mansion, Xiang Anjun has been uneasy, fearing that she might come back.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he still needs to go and meet the people behind him!

"Someone, help me change my clothes. I need to see the Prime Minister."

Prime Minister Li Yan was the most influential person in the court besides Fu Lingtian, let alone the emperor.

The emperor had only recently ascended the throne, so getting everyone to submit was quite difficult. Therefore, Lin Xiao's reign as emperor was rather ignominious.

The servants received the news and immediately relayed it.

"Your Excellency, the young master of the Xiang family has arrived."

"Really? Let him in."

Xiang Anjun brought a generous gift, and with one hand trying to brush the dust off the corner of his clothes, he stepped through the door.

"Your Excellency, it's been a long time. Is this sudden visit perhaps a bit of an intrusion?"

He clasped his hands respectfully to An Jun, saying that although he disliked the old man, what did it matter for power and money? It was better than his old man!

"Oh, it's Young Master Xiang. What brings you here today?"

"That's right, last night several men in black broke into my residence and claimed to be from the Wen family."

As he spoke, Xiang Anjun took out the things that Wen Jinghao, that woman, had given him last night and showed them to Li Yan.

It was a gold medal from the Wen family, representing the power of the Wen family, after all, Wen Jinghao was a villainous transmigrator.

They immediately replaced the entire Wen family with their own forces. That's why Xiang Anjun was a little surprised.

The Wen family are usually quite upright, so why would they associate with Li Yan and his group? That's quite intriguing.

However, he didn't care about all that; whoever helped him was his master. It was all the same!

"Oh, really? The Wen family can't keep their true colors hidden so quickly?"

"Looks like the young mistress is still the one who's got the upper hand. That brat Fu Lingtian is probably out of luck!"

Li Yan's skin was loose, and his face was slightly wrinkled; his words were cold. He was nothing like the person who had once told stories to Lin Xiao.

"Men, give the order. It's time to make arrangements for the people in the martial world. Hmph, Lin Xiao, I'll definitely pull off a switcheroo. I'll make sure you're completely satisfied!"

"Yes, Master."

The guards all lowered their heads, fearing that the unpredictable prime minister would rip off their heads. They dared not utter a word, for they were merely lowly guards.

They don't have much power; even if he orders them to die, they can only follow orders.

"yawn!"

Lin Xiao, who was busy outside the Changchun Palace, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"Qiuye, why didn't you close the window? I feel a draft coming in. How can you be so careless? What if the Empress gets cold!"
