"Zhao Ji, I really underestimated you before. I didn't expect you to have such courage and means!"

The prime minister looked at Zhao Ji with a gloomy expression.

Zhao Ji looked at the Prime Minister slowly: "My Lord Prime Minister, I really don't know what you are talking about. I don't understand anything. What do you mean by looking down on me?"

"In this matter, I am just speaking with evidence and doing things based on evidence."

However, the calmer Zhao Ji was, the more the prime minister felt the fire in his heart was burning more fiercely.

The position of Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was extremely important, and even the Prime Minister had spent a lot of effort to train Zhong Lingyun.

But now, Zhao Ji could do it so easily?

The more the prime minister thought about it, the more headache he got.

What he got in this life was not just a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but he also slapped the Prime Minister in the face and established Zhao Ji's power!

More importantly, Zhao Ji was so arrogant, but there were no consequences.

This is a severe blow to the prestige of the Prime Minister's lineage!

Watching Zhao Ji's figure disappear in the harem, the prime minister gritted his teeth. At this moment, his murderous intent towards Zhao Ji reached an unparalleled peak.

However, Zhao Ji held the secrets of the Queen and the Prime Minister in his hands, so he could not act rashly for the time being.

A mouthful of blood was stuck in the prime minister's chest.

"It seems we have to think of a way. If this continues, I'm afraid this boy will become even more unscrupulous!"

The prime minister narrowed his eyes like an old fox, planning something in his mind.

Zhao Ji returned to the Imperial Household Department and couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of the Prime Minister's expression in the court today.

"It's you old fox that's doing this. You take all the money. It will only hurt you."

Zhao Ji muttered to himself.

The events of the previous dynasty were so big that even the Empress in the harem heard about it.

During this period of time, Ling Yan also tried her best to reduce her presence.

Because the emperor has awakened, the wind direction in the harem is also changing.

In just a few short days, the emperor actually found time to favor a beautiful girl in the harem.

She was even given the title of Zhaoyi.

No one in the harem dared to speak up to dissuade the emperor from doing such a ridiculous thing.

Now it’s not so much that no one dares to speak, but rather that everyone is watching the emperor’s attitude and health.

"Someone, bring me the medicinal food I cooked in the kitchen. I want to go visit the emperor."

After enduring for so many days, Ling Yan decided not to wait and see anymore.

Seeing what happened in the previous dynasty, the emperor did not stand on his father's side, so Lingyan had to take action.

The most urgent thing now is to find out the emperor's physical condition so that we can make plans for the next step.

After operating for many years, the Queen easily found out that the Emperor was now admiring fish in the Imperial Garden.

Lingyan specially changed into the most exquisite clothes, put on the most delicate makeup on her face, and personally held the bowl of medicinal food in her hands.

Everything is ready, now all we need is the east wind.

There is no trace of the emperor in the Imperial Garden anymore.

"It's really strange that the palace maid reported just now that he was clearly here..." The queen didn't bring too many people with her this time to create an encounter.

As a result, since she didn't meet the person, the queen could only send the palace maids around her to go out and get information.

It’s strange to say, but recently the emperor doesn’t seem to like to bring anyone with him when he travels. He may just be accompanied by a few eunuchs and palace maids for viewing.

The queen slowly paced in the imperial garden, thinking about how to reverse the current situation...

Generally speaking, the power of the Queen and the Prime Minister is still quite strong in the court.

Although he was frightened by Zhao Ji's behavior, he was not seriously injured. At most, he was a little embarrassed.

"First, I need my father to find a new Minister of the Ministry of Revenue... The best candidate would be one of my father's students..."

The queen was lost in thought when she suddenly felt someone approaching from behind.

The next moment, Ling Yan felt a pair of large hands covering her mouth and someone holding her waist.

Someone dragged the queen behind the rockery at lightning speed.

"Ouch..." The queen looked terrified and wanted to shout for help, but the hands on her mouth were covering tightly, completely blocking the queen's way of calling for help.

After finally waiting for the person behind her to let go, the queen seized the opportunity to shout, but heard a familiar voice.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Your Majesty. You seem a lot more timid!" Zhao Ji's lazy voice came from behind the Queen.

The scream got stuck in her throat and the Queen swallowed it.

If it was a bad guy, the queen could save herself by shouting loudly.

But if it was Empress Zhao Ji, it would be unnecessary, after all, the Empress herself was afraid that others would find out about her affair with Zhao Ji.

"What do you want to do by pulling me here all of a sudden?"

The queen strives to maintain the dignity of the mother of a country.

Zhao Ji said slowly: "Fuck you."

"You, you, you..." The queen's face suddenly turned red. She was so angry and embarrassed that she couldn't say a word.

"Just tell me what you want to say. There are many people in the Imperial Garden. The Emperor is here too. Aren't you afraid of being held accountable by the Emperor?"

The queen's outward appearance of being fierce but actually being weak made Zhao Ji want to laugh.

"I don't believe that you, Queen, are a coward, otherwise you wouldn't have done something like confusing the royal bloodline. Stop pretending!"

Zhao Ji slowly mentioned the queen's weakness, and the queen remained silent.

"Actually, the reason I asked you to come here this time is because I do have something I want to cooperate with you on."

Zhao Ji said slowly.

The queen was very surprised that Zhao Jigang had tricked her father in the court.

Why are you coming back to cooperate with me now?

"Speaking of which, I hope the Queen can keep the Third Prince under control. Recently, I have found poison in my food twice, and each time there is sufficient evidence pointing to the Third Prince."

"Speaking of which, wasn't the Third Prince concentrating on copying scriptures to pray for the Emperor? How come he still has time to harm others now?"

Zhao Ji pretended to be distressed.

When the queen heard these things, she felt overwhelmed.

It seems that the third prince really did not take the queen's instructions to heart.

I am still acting on my own.

"So your actions in the previous dynasty were a counterattack?" Ling Yan asked cryptically.

Zhao Ji didn't mean that at first, but seeing that Uncle Ling Yan completely believed it, he didn't say anything.

However, when Ling Yan saw Zhao Ji's silence, she became more certain of her judgment.

He simply blamed the fact that his father's wings were clipped on the head of the Third Prince, whom he had never liked.

"I will discipline the Third Prince strictly, and I hope you won't do anything extreme. If we both lose in the end, who knows who will benefit."

Ling Yan cleared her throat and spoke in a fake tone.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some sounds coming from behind the rockery.
