At this moment, Miss Xie felt as if she had been struck by a bolt of lightning, her whole body stiffened and she stood there blankly.

Her once bright and lively eyes had lost their luster, becoming blank and helpless. Faced with this sudden and shocking situation, her mind seemed to have stopped working, and she had no idea how to deal with it.

When Rong Ning, who was in the tree, heard what Bai Fu said, she only slightly moved her eyelids, without showing much surprise or other obvious changes in expression.

After all, she was already well aware of the situation in the imperial court and the complex relationships between various forces.

Now, with the implementation of new policies, the situation in the court is becoming increasingly tense and delicate.

Almost any official with even a modicum of political acumen could see that irreconcilable conflicts had arisen between the Emperor and the Prime Minister due to differences in political views and other factors.

How will this power struggle end? And what impact will it have on the country as a whole?

Everything is uncertain...

In the arena of power, the confrontation between the emperor and his ministers can be described as extremely fierce.

Especially when facing a monarch like her father, who wields real power and is single-mindedly focused on achieving great things, the chancellor's fate is often not good.

The reasons behind this are complex and intertwined, involving power and desire, and a contest of strategy and wisdom. A slight misstep can lead to utter ruin.

However, these thrilling court struggles were kept completely hidden from the Prime Minister's residence, and the younger generation within the residence were kept in the dark.

Neither the exceptionally intelligent Xie Xizhu nor the quick-witted Xie Chong knew anything about these undercurrents of political intrigue.

The beloved Fourth Miss Xie also lived in a seemingly peaceful and harmonious environment.

Therefore, when Miss Xie accidentally heard these shocking inside stories, she felt dizzy and disoriented, as if the whole world was collapsing in an instant.

For a moment, she couldn't accept this cruel fact, and her heart was filled with shock, fear, and confusion.

After all, the world she knew before was so beautiful and innocent, but now a huge hole has been torn open, exposing the darkness and wickedness hidden behind it. Such a sudden shock would be difficult for anyone to bear calmly in a short period of time.

At that very moment, Bai Fu revealed all those deeply hidden secrets to her.

After hearing this, I really don't know what she will do next.

Once this matter gets out, the entire Prime Minister's residence will probably be turned upside down and thrown into chaos!

Rong Ning leisurely rested her head on her hands, lazily reclining on the thick tree trunk, even crossing her legs, quietly listening to the every move of the people below as if watching a play.

However, as time passed, the area below remained unusually quiet, as if petrified and speechless for a long time.

Looking at Miss Xie again, her mind was already in turmoil, with all sorts of thoughts rushing in, leaving her bewildered and at a loss, completely unaware of what she should say.

“Aqu…” Bai Fu looked at her friend, who seemed to have turned into a lifeless puppet, and a deep sense of worry rose in her heart.

She anxiously reached out and gently shook A-Qu's shoulder, her voice trembling slightly as she said, "Please don't scare me!"

Maybe this isn't true at all.

After all, the Prime Minister is a man of high rank and great power, with students all over the country; how could he be easily shaken?

At this moment, Xie Si Guniang Aqu's originally slender, fair hands, like jade fingers, were now deeply embedded in her hair, her beautiful face contorted with extreme pain.

She bit her lip tightly and squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "Afu, please, let me have some peace and quiet!"

Miss Xie felt as if her head was about to explode, a chaotic mess. She really needed some time and space to sort out her thoughts and try to process the huge impact of this sudden news.

At this moment, she was completely at a loss, unable to think of any action to take next. It seemed that apart from informing her elders in the family, she could find no other effective solution.

However, these were merely a few private words whispered among the young women. How could those powerful and experienced elders easily believe them?

Bai Fu originally wanted to continue to persuade her earnestly, but when she saw Xie Si's unwavering expression and resolute attitude, she could only swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

When Rong Ning, who was in the tree, heard the words "The Prime Minister holds a high position of power and influence, and his disciples are all over the world," the corners of Rong Ning's mouth curled up slightly imperceptibly.

Because she knew all too well that in this world, in the face of absolute and supreme power, all carefully planned schemes would become pale, powerless, and utterly useless.

No matter how powerful the prime minister is, it's the same.

After all, as long as it is something the emperor is determined to accomplish, no matter how great the obstacles and difficulties he encounters, he will eventually be able to achieve his goal.

The Southern Dynasties of today, having weathered the vicissitudes of time, have long since become impoverished and weak.

However, her father harbored great ambitions and was determined to become a wise and powerful ruler, safeguarding the vast legacy passed down from the Rong family ancestors.
