After finally coaxing that stupid Third Prince away, Ling Yan finally felt at ease.

But Zhao Ji would not let her live in peace.

After a lot of trouble, Zhao Ji finally let Ling Yan go after he had his fill.

Ling Yan was sweating profusely, breathing slightly, and looked at Zhao Ji with murderous eyes.

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly: "The Queen Mother, there is something I didn't have time to tell you just now, but I have to inform you now."

Despite such an arrogant attitude, Ling Yan had no way to deal with Zhao Ji.

Because at this moment Zhao Ji has already grasped the biggest secret of Ling Yan and even the Prime Minister's family.

That is the third prince’s life experience!

Ling Yan slumped in the chair, looking at Zhao Ji viciously.

Zhao Ji came forward and said, "My Queen, I already know the life story of the Third Prince. If you don't want me to tell the Third Prince's secret, then please stop shooting assassins and stop conspiring with the Third Prince to kill me."

"Otherwise, I don't know when a piece of paper with such a big secret will appear on the emperor's desk..."

When Ling Yan heard this, her face turned pale and she gritted her teeth: "You..."

Zhao Ji was too lazy to listen to Ling Yan's words. He cleaned himself up lazily and turned to walk out the door.

As he walked, he said, "I have just taken office in this palace and I have not made any enemies, so from today on, if I encounter an assassination attempt, I will assume that the Queen wants to make this secret public!"

"The Queen who was able to do such a thing as replacing the Crown Prince with a cat must have some brains. I leave the decision to you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Ji's figure disappeared in the queen's bedroom.

Ling Yan angrily smashed the only remaining teacup to the ground.

Now all of Ling Yan's plans were completely disrupted.

Originally, Ling Yan planned to wait until Zhao Ji was dealt with before she conspired with the third prince to assassinate him.

After all, killing someone in the palace is not a difficult thing. You know, so many "accidents" happen in the palace every day!

However, Zhao Ji has now laid everything bare. Not only can Ling Yan not assassinate Zhao Ji, she even has to find ways to protect Zhao Ji from being assassinated.

Otherwise, if an assassination occurred, Zhao Ji would directly blame the queen.

"It's so annoying..." The Queen pounded the bed and shouted.

"Someone prepare water for bathing. I want to summon the prime minister tomorrow!" The queen suppressed her shame, put on her clothes again, and called to the palace maids and eunuchs outside the door.

On the other side, Zhao Ji, who had just picked flowers, returned to his bedroom with a rosy face and whistling.

Because there were no other eunuchs or palace maids in the bedroom, and Zhao Ji sneaked out when Yueying was about to fall asleep, Yueying did not notice Zhao Ji sneaking out.

Now back in the bedroom, Zhao Ji went to Yueying's side hall to take a look. Seeing the figure lying on the bed sleeping soundly, Zhao Ji felt relieved.

Now for Zhao Ji, it is like a wolves in front and tigers behind, although he has just been promoted by the emperor thanks to the ginseng pill.

But judging from the deployment of Yueying, it was obvious that the emperor did not trust Zhao Ji that much.

Not to mention that no one knows what the Queen is going to do. Zhao Ji felt a little headache when he thought about this.

"Now we can only take one step at a time and see what happens... There will be a way out when we get to the mountain!"

After blowing out the candle, Zhao Ji finally fell asleep peacefully.

Early the next morning, the prime minister was called to the harem to meet the queen.

The prime minister is second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Walking from a distance, his momentum is astonishing.

In the past, even the queen, who was in a high position, felt a little timid when she saw the appearance of her father.

But today the queen was like an ant on hot pot, constantly pacing around the palace, and was not overwhelmed by her father's aura as before.

Seeing that the Prime Minister had already walked into the palace, Ling Yan asked the palace maids and eunuchs around him to retreat without saying a word.

Upon seeing this, the Prime Minister's eyes deepened. He obviously anticipated that what his daughter would say next would be quite serious.

"Father, I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you. From now on, all the things I said before about sending people to assassinate Zhao Ji are invalid..."

The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered as he sat on the chair: "My dear daughter, what happened that made you so panicked? Is it related to this Zhao Ji? Why did you suddenly change your mind and not kill this man?"

Ling Yan hesitated slightly and subconsciously concealed the matters between Zhao Ji and herself, saying only that Zhao Ji knew from some unknown channel that the Third Prince was not the Emperor's biological son.

And he repeated the threatening words Zhao Ji had said yesterday.

The prime minister had a hunch that his daughter was hiding something, but in his opinion, the most important thing was not what his daughter was hiding, but the secret of the third prince!

Those officials probably couldn't believe that the prime minister, who usually remained calm even in the face of disasters, would one day show such a gloomy expression.

"This person...is very scheming..."

Even though the prime minister had never formally met Zhao Ji, from what his daughter had described, it seemed that this boy was a man of great intelligence.

"Why are you panicking? Show your dignity as the mother of the country. He's just a small eunuch, a person without any roots. What are you afraid of?"

Seeing that the queen he had worked so hard to train was so impatient, the prime minister couldn't help but scold her.

However, when the queen heard the prime minister's words, her expression became somewhat unnatural, but the prime minister himself was also distracted, so he did not notice anything unusual about his daughter.

"But from your description, this Zhao Ji should have some brains and courage. I'm sure he won't reveal this matter right away. You should just stay in the palace and be your queen. I'll take care of the rest!"

The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Since there is no way to get rid of this eunuch through the shady means in the harem, and this eunuch has just been promoted to the seal-in-chief.

It seems that the only way is to use official business, that is, the events of the previous dynasty, to gradually squeeze this eunuch out of the vortex of power.

It would be best if we could do something to make the emperor lose trust in this eunuch.

For a dog without the trust of its master, no one cares who kills or beats it.

The prime minister had made up his mind in a moment. He stood up and became the powerful minister who planned and strategized in the court again. He turned to look at his daughter and said calmly, "Let's not do the assassination for now. I will think of a way from the previous dynasty. Naturally, I will need your help when necessary. As long as you don't make any mistakes..."

The queen nodded as if she had grasped the backbone, and was about to watch her father leave.

However, the Prime Minister walked to the door and turned back to add: "You should restrain the behavior of the Third Prince recently. Don't let him make mistakes again when we are here to take charge!"
