"Uncle!"
“Sister-in-law!”
"Uncle!"
“Sister-in-law!”
The call is ardent, lingering, hot and scorching!
Xiao Yuqi thought of the expression on Su Jianyue's face when she imitated the tone and read out these words.
He subconsciously smiled, and Po Jun, who had just landed, paused.
He swallowed back the words he was about to say and blurted out what was in his heart subconsciously.
"Your Majesty, are you in love?"
His smile was so sexy, it was really scary!
...
...
Xiao Yuqi's dark pupils captured him accurately. Pojun knelt down on the spot and handed over the news in both hands.
"This is the news that Tianshu just sent. Your Majesty, please take a look!"
Xiao Yuqi took the bamboo tube and asked, "What does it mean to fall in love?"
Pojun, who has never fallen in love, said: "..."
"I... don't know!"
"Hmph!" Xiao Yuqi snorted coldly and opened the bamboo tube in his hand.
"Prime Minister Wei is awake!"
Xiao Yuqi placed the note on the candlestick and burned it to ashes.
Looking at the dark sky outside, Xiao Yuqi stood up and whispered, "Good luck!"
In just a moment, Xiao Yuqi changed into a nightgown.
Dark clouds cover the moon!
Xiao Yuqi easily avoided everyone in the palace and entered the side hall where the prime minister was, as if there was no one there.
Mrs. Xu, the wife of Prime Minister Wei, and Wei Qingwu had already fainted on the small couch.
As soon as Xiao Yuqi appeared, the prime minister set his eyes on him.
His face was haggard and his eyes were dull.
"How does the Prime Minister feel?"
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine now!"
But half of his body was still numb. Although he was awake, he was not feeling well.
"After going through a life-and-death situation, how do you feel, Prime Minister?"
"Your Majesty, why did you come here specially to ridicule me?"
"Prime Minister, do you think I am here to ridicule you?"
Xiao Yuqi chuckled: "I wonder if the Prime Minister has ever thought that the poison hidden between the Prime Minister's fingers was the non-lethal nightshade poison, but in the end, it turned into arsenic?"
The gray pupils flashed slightly, and Xiao Yuqi easily revealed the fact that the prime minister least wanted to face!
According to his deployment, the only one who can attack him is...
"I am grateful to your majesty for saving me."
He thanked him sincerely, "Your Majesty can even cure arsenic poison. I underestimated Your Majesty and even more underestimated myself!"
The Prime Minister's voice sounded bitter, and he didn't know whether he was talking about Xiao Yuqi or himself!
“It’s never too late to turn from darkness to light!”
Xiao Yuqi's tone was too cynical, and Prime Minister Wei sneered.
"If I were Your Majesty, you would definitely push me out without hesitation."
Then naturally, we should cut the weeds and eradicate them completely!
Perhaps due to the poison, the Prime Minister spoke very slowly and his reactions were much slower than usual.
"But the Prime Minister is not me!"
Xiao Yuqi smiled faintly, as if he didn't care about this matter at all.
"It has been three months since the rain fell in the north of Jing County. Prime Minister, how long do you think this matter can be kept secret from me?"
Pupil earthquake!
The prime minister slowly raised his head, and at that moment, he finally realized that the young boy had quietly grown into a towering tree where he could not see.
He even knew everything about Jing County?
The area north of Jing County was originally the fiefdom of the previous emperor when he was a prince.
The crown prince at that time was the eldest brother of the late emperor. His elder brother fell ill and died suddenly.
The late emperor was summoned to the capital by Emperor Taizu, and took the order back to the capital with his old subordinates. The remaining some of his confidants remained stationed in Jing County.
Over the years, the former emperor's former subordinates north of Jing County had already come under the command of the prime minister, like an iron barrel, impenetrable.
If not for this, the Prime Minister would not have hidden that man in the northern border.
He had received news of a severe drought in Jing County a month ago.
This news had not yet reached Jian'an, and he thought he had kept the news secret.
Who knows? This yellow-haired kid in front of him, who he had been on high alert against, actually knew everything?
"I have always believed that even if the Prime Minister has selfish motives, he would not ignore the people's livelihood. Now it seems that I have really overestimated you!"
He was servile and fawning over a man who wanted to kill him, and he tried his best to protect her, but he rejected her heart!
Xiao Yuqi laughed at himself, then left the side hall without a sound!
He calculated the time well, and not long after he left, Xu woke up leisurely!
The Prime Minister looked at her warily.
His cloudy eyes no longer showed any of the tenderness of the past.
As soon as Xu opened her eyes, she met his gaze.
After a moment of confusion, Xu was shocked.
"Husband, why are you awake?"
This one sentence completely shattered the prime minister's only remaining hope.
He smiled bitterly and sighed, "It turns out I shouldn't have woken up!"
"No, my lord, that's not what I meant!"
"Arsenic! Frost!"
He uttered the two words with gritted teeth, one by one, following the roots of his teeth.
Xu's face turned pale. She hurriedly got off the bed, rushed to the prime minister's bed, knelt down and shook her head.
"That's not the case, husband, I didn't know it was arsenic!"
Should he be glad that she was willing to lie to him?
Or should he be angry? Even if she lied to him, she was unwilling to find a better reason?
How could someone as cautious as her not know that what fell into her hands was arsenic?
How could he trust her?
Every detail of the conversation between the two was heard by Xiao Yuqi.
Duan Chengzhi scooped a cup of eight-treasure tea for Xiao Yuqi.
"Your Majesty, what choice do you think the Prime Minister will make?"
“I won’t make a choice.”
Xiao Yuqi took the tea bowl calmly with a firm tone.
Duan Chengzhi was not surprised. "Xu is quite capable. It is indeed not easy for us to incite the Prime Minister to rebel!"
"The Wei family is more skilled than the Xu family."
Wei Qingwu alone is enough to sway Duan Chengzhi's mind. The mother and daughter both have the same master!
Duan Chengzhi laughed awkwardly: "It is because I don't know people well, please don't blame me, Your Majesty!"
"It's not your fault if you don't turn back now!"
Xiao Yuqi clinked his glass towards Duan Chengzhi.
Duan Chengzhi returned the toast.
"How is the Regent?"
Duan Chengzhi shook his head.
"The Queen Mother has handed over all matters concerning the Regent to General Huai'an. The subordinates cannot interfere at all."
"She's really protective!"
However, that poison would probably give the Emperor's uncle a lot of trouble!
Duofu held a case file and carefully handed it to Xiao Yuqi.
Xiao Yuqi spread out the file in front of Duan Chengzhi.
After a while.
Xiao Yuqi was furious, "You bastard."
With an angry shout, Xiao Yuqi casually threw the bamboo slips into the distance and placed the tea bowl in his hand heavily on the table: "This group of people is simply rebellious!"
Duan Chengzhi stood up, picked up the bamboo slips and opened them.
The above content is self-explanatory!
There has been a severe drought in the northern border for three months, and the people have no harvest, but the northern government not only did not open the granaries to release grain, but instead closed the doors to prevent people from leaving the country. Up to now, more than 20,000 people have starved to death, but no one has reported the matter to the court.
Duan Chengzhi tightened the bamboo slips in his hand: "Your Majesty!"
