"She is the daughter of the Sang family?"
"That girl from the Sang family who keeps crying and making a fuss about marrying the Prime Minister?"
"Keep your voice down, she's the Prime Minister's wife now."
The people around gradually put their heads together, talking one after another, in very low voices.
But a few words still fell into Sang Luan's ears.
There was no expression on her face, but her captivating eyes stared fixedly at the person in front of her.
Wei Jian lowered his eyes and looked at the woman, who looked extremely serious.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and waved his hand, "Everyone go out and patrol."
"Boss, the brothers are worried about you staying with this girl alone." After the man said this, he raised his head and laughed a few times, and the mole at the corner of his mouth twitched with his movements.
Wei Jian's eyes turned cold, and the next moment, he decisively drew the sword in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the man's throat.
The laughter stopped abruptly, he swallowed silently, and looked at Wei Jian in surprise and doubt.
"Apologize!" Wei Jian's voice was hoarse and his tone was extremely cold, as if the other party would be threatened by the tip of the sword at his throat if he didn't apologize.
The man was stunned, the fear in his eyes was obvious, but he immediately reacted and looked at Sang Luan with a tearful face, "Miss Sang, I'm sorry."
After he finished speaking, he realized that Sang Luan was not only the daughter of Minister Sang, but also the wife of the Prime Minister. No matter how the Feng family actually treated Sang Luan, they still had to save face.
Moreover, everyone in the court knew that Minister Sang was a notorious maniac who protected his daughters. If Minister Sang knew about this, he would probably rush to the palace to find him at night with a knife in hand.
Then wasn't he sending himself to hell by making such a joke just now?
When his eyes fell on the sword again, he suddenly understood that Lord Wei was not threatening him, but saving him!
After figuring it out, he couldn't help but shudder all over, and quickly slapped himself, his tone much more pious, "Miss Sang, I shouldn't have made such a joke just now. Please don't take it to heart! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
Sang Luan looked at the other party's heroic attitude and couldn't help but chuckle. She turned to look at Wei Jian and said, "It's okay. Let him go."
The most important thing now is to quickly find the assassin who has sneaked into the palace.
Wei Jian nodded lightly, then put the sword back and put it back into the scabbard without even looking at it.
Before he could speak, the other people in the room tactfully left.
Wei Jian: "Now it's just you and me. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"There are assassins in the palace, among the opera singers. One of them should be wearing light yellow clothes." Sang Luan said succinctly, directly stating her purpose. "I overheard it by chance while attending the opera this morning."
Wei Jian paused, his brows knitted together, "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I only know that they will pretend to be opera singers at today's banquet in order to sneak into the palace and assassinate the emperor." Sang Luan nodded, his face becoming more serious.
She thought carefully about the scene at that time, "If I'm not mistaken, there should be four of them involved in this assassination."
Wei Jian was shocked, "You even know how many people there are?"
"Hmm." Sang Luan hummed softly, "Judging from their breathing, there should be four people. It's too late. The banquet will start in half an hour, and then the situation will only get more chaotic."
She spoke very quickly, "I know you might not believe me, but I have no choice but to come to your Inspection Department."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jian said in a firm tone: "I believe you."
"Look." Sang Luan handed the wooden sign she had picked up to Wei Jian. "I just found this. I wonder if it's theirs."
Wei Jian only took a glance, and his pupils suddenly widened. He quickly took it and looked at it in his hand. "One hundred percent, according to the time, they should have entered the palace by now."
Sang Luan: "Yes, just one stick of incense ago."
"Come on, come with me." Wei Jian raised his foot and walked out.
Suddenly, he paused, turned sideways and looked at Sang Luan with a hesitant look on his face.
"What's wrong?" Sang Luan couldn't help but ask.
"The emperor only allowed Fu Shengxian's group into the palace to welcome that beautiful lady. He only likes to listen to the operas performed in their garden." A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wei Jian's face. "If we take them away rashly like this, the emperor's original plans will be disrupted."
"Who knows which is more important, the safety of the emperor or a play?" Sang Luan's eyebrows were already stained with anxiety. "Master Wei, do you still need to think about it?"
Wei Jian gritted his teeth and walked out the door, looking to the left. "There's an assassin in the palace. You, quickly go to Fushengxian and find out the identities of the people who entered the palace at today's banquet. This time, exit directly through the east side gate."
"Focus on checking those who enter the park temporarily." Wei Jian added.
"No." Sang Luan stepped forward and corrected him, "Just check those who stay in the garden all year round."
Wei Jiandian glanced at her sideways and asked, "Why?"
"To enter the palace, all aspects must be fully prepared." Sang Luan explained in an orderly manner, "Even Fu Sheng Xian, who is in charge, can't allow newcomers to enter the palace. Otherwise, they will be exposed before they even start."
Immediately afterwards, a group of people quickly walked towards the east side door.
"Leave a few people at the Inspection Office." Wei Jian assigned a few more people, "You, you, you, each lead a team and quickly go to Linde Hall to protect the safety of His Majesty."
Soon, there were only about ten people left in the large group.
Wei Jian's eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand, "The rest of you, follow me to the Imperial Household Department!"
After that, the group set off in a mighty procession.
Sang Luan looked up at Wei Jian. He was really proactive!
"Hey, isn't this Lord Wei? Where are you going in such a hurry? You even forgot to be polite when you saw me?"
A charming female voice sounded from behind them.
Wei Jian's expression changed. How did he meet this person?
He paused, turned around, and nodded slightly to the woman in front of him, "Greetings, Your Majesty. The Emperor is in danger, and I am rushing to arrest him."
Sang Luan looked up and saw a woman in goose yellow clothes in front of her. On her right was a palace maid who was using a round fan to cool her down.
The woman was followed by about four palace maids, each with an arrogant look on their faces.
With her light yellow clothes and demeanor, it seemed that this was the Concubine An that the young eunuch had just mentioned.
"Danger?" Concubine An casually touched her hair, raised her chin slightly, and stepped forward with her slender waist twisting. "What a joke! How could this palace not know what danger the emperor was in?"
Sang Luan was speechless. Could it be that Concubine An and the emperor have a grudge against each other?
"Who are you?" An Guiren glanced at Sang Luan casually and immediately stood up straight, an unprecedented sense of threat surging in her heart. "What's with that expression?"
