"Your Majesty, I have come here to discuss the matter of the West City Guard."
Shangguan Lingyun still didn't look at him, but just said "Oh" lightly.
Prime Minister Wang immediately knelt on the ground and replied respectfully.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. The governor of West City was just a failed scholar."
"I was obsessed with money and accepted the thank-you gift from Lord Li Si, so I turned a blind eye and let him get away with it."
"However, I never expected that the Li family would be so audacious."
"Your Majesty, I am guilty, but I really didn't know anything about the West City Mine. I beg Your Majesty to investigate."
This time, Shangguan Lingyun finally raised his head and looked at him straight in the eye.
"Prime Minister Wang, what are your thoughts on the plot against Wang Muyu and Liu Yiyi?"
Prime Minister Wang's heart skipped a beat, and then he suddenly began to kowtow on the ground.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I am also a victim in this matter."
"It was Liu Yiyi. She forced me to do this, which is why I did this shameful thing."
"Now that I have been punished, I beg Your Majesty to be magnanimous and spare my life."
Shangguan Lingyun curled his lips, "Oh? According to Prime Minister Wang, as long as you've been hurt, you can break the law and harm others at will, right?"
Prime Minister Wang was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only kowtow repeatedly.
Shangguan Lingyun's face was filled with impatience. "I heard that your daughter has been eyeing the eldest son of the Sun family recently. Is that true?"
Prime Minister Wang's old face turned red and he immediately waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, this is all because my daughter is too willful. Given her current situation, how could she possibly marry the eldest son of the Sun family?"
"Oh? Really? I heard that Wang Muyu has been nauseous and vomiting recently. Prime Minister Wang, could she be pregnant?"
"Although, being pregnant out of wedlock is not a sin."
"But using your brother's marriage as a threat to force others to marry you, is this the family tradition of your Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Wang had no choice but to kowtow again.
"Your Majesty, I have not heard of this matter. I believe there must be some misunderstanding."
"Your Majesty, please give me some time to investigate thoroughly."
"If this is true, I will definitely go to the Sun family and apologize until they forgive me."
Shangguan Lingyun's face turned cold. "Prime Minister, do you want everyone in the world to know about this?"
"I know that the Prime Minister loves his step-wife, and he loves your concubine's daughter even more."
"But Prime Minister, have you ever thought that even if you don't care about your son's reputation, do you also care about the reputation of the court?"
Prime Minister Wang felt a chill on his back. He really didn't expect that Shangguan Lingyun could know so many things.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I absolutely dare not disregard the reputation of the court."
"I will return now and severely punish my daughter. I will make sure she stops doing this."
Shangguan Lingyun shook his head, "Prime Minister Wang, it seems you don't understand what I mean."
Prime Minister Wang had a very bad premonition in his heart and looked at Shangguan Lingyun with some difficulty.
"I am ignorant and stupid, so please enlighten me, Your Majesty."
Shangguan Lingyun then threw over a memorial impeaching Prime Minister Wang, who immediately picked it up.
After reading the above content clearly, Prime Minister Wang felt a little powerless.
"Your Majesty, I can explain this matter..."
Before he could finish, Shangguan Lingyun threw another stack of memorials at him.
Prime Minister Wang looked through them one by one and found that they were all evidence of his corruption and abuse of power in recent days and impeachment memorials.
"Your Majesty, please spare me. I was just confused for a moment."
"I hope Your Majesty will forgive me this time for all my efforts for Your Majesty."
Shangguan Lingyun sighed, "Prime Minister Wang, you know that too."
"The court may appear calm on the surface, but in reality, there are undercurrents surging behind the scenes. If we are not careful, there will be unrest."
"I received these memorials before I dealt with the Grand Tutor."
"Originally, I didn't want to touch your Wang family because of the Ye family and Wang Muzhe."
"However, Li Mo's crimes during this trip to Xicheng are so serious that I have no choice but to conduct a thorough investigation."
"The Prime Minister has made another mistake in this matter. Even if I want to protect you, it is impossible."
"However, I also know that Prime Minister Wang has worked hard and made great contributions, so I will give you an opportunity to retire and return home."
"As for the Wang family, you don't have to worry too much. With Wang Muzhe here, the Wang family's glory will surely be even greater than before."
Prime Minister Wang understood Shangguan Lingyun's meaning, although Wang Muzhe was very likely to inherit his position.
However, it is still difficult for him to withdraw from the center of power now.
"Your Majesty, please give me another chance to redeem myself."
"I promise that I will never do anything that harms the court again."
Shangguan Lingyun's eyes were slightly cold as he looked at Prime Minister Wang who was still somewhat stubborn.
"Prime Minister Wang, I see you still haven't thought it through. It's okay, I'll give you three more days."
"After three days, if you have figured it out, I will see you."
"Okay, I'm tired, you can leave."
Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Wang had no choice but to retreat reluctantly.
Not long after Prime Minister Wang left, Ye Xiaoxiao walked in with Tianxuan.
"What's wrong? Why are you frowning so hard?"
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Shangguan Lingyun, who was frowning and thinking, with some confusion.
Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao coming, Shangguan Lingyun immediately relaxed his brows, smiled faintly and pulled her to his side.
