The two servants tried to stop them, but they were no match for them.
But the two people inside were completely absorbed in their passion.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review twitched violently upon hearing the noise.
Wow, these two men are playing so intensely! I've never seen anything like it before. Does Prime Minister Li know about this?
The thought vanished in an instant; he didn't even consider whether Prime Minister Li would hate him or seek revenge later.
From the day he pledged allegiance to the Crown Prince, all he needed to do was steadfastly follow the Crown Prince's orders.
Therefore, he waved his hand without any hesitation, signaling the officers to kick down the door.
At the same time, a dark figure flashed inside the room and leaped out of the window.
He was feeling uneasy and wanted to visit the Ye family, but he never expected to run into Li Chenghai and Ye Zhengqing.
Anger surged within him, and he wanted to separate the two, but before he could get close, he sensed something was wrong with his body.
Realizing something was amiss in the room, he quickly covered his mouth and nose, but even so, his body still reacted.
He has no interest in men, and he can't have anything with them, so the best course of action is to leave as soon as possible.
Seeing Ye Zhengqing pinned to the couch, his legs twisted and deformed, the couch covered in blood, Li Chenghai completely lost his mind.
He wanted to kill Li Chenghai, but Li Chenghai was the son of the prime minister, so he couldn't kill him. He then thought of knocking Li Chenghai unconscious first to save Ye Zhengqing.
Before he could even get close, he heard a lot of footsteps outside. Not wanting to give himself away, he had no choice but to leave in a hurry.
Just as they stepped out of the Ye residence, they heard Xing Ze shout, "Who goes there?"
The man in black felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his foot, which was originally heading towards the Prime Minister's residence, and went in the opposite direction.
We can't let them chase us all the way to the Prime Minister's residence. We have to shake them off first, and then inform the Prime Minister.
Xing Ze looked at the figure in front of him and curled his lips into a smile.
Although he didn't know who this person was or why he had suddenly appeared at the Ye residence, the princess had said that anyone who appeared today, no matter who they were, should be chased away and prevented from reporting the news or making any countermeasures.
For this reason, when the Prime Minister learned of what had happened at the Ye residence, the news that Li Chenghai and Ye Zhengqing had been having an affair and that Li Chenghai had even played Ye Zhengqing to death had already spread.
Prime Minister Li's face was as black as ink, and he asked the steward who brought the news, "What exactly happened?"
The steward didn't know either, and said tremblingly, "It's news from the Dali Temple that Ye Zhengqing murdered his own father. They went to arrest him, but the Second Young Master was there too..."
The Second Young Master's actions have caused the Prime Minister's residence to lose face, which is the Prime Minister's greatest taboo.
Knowing that Prime Minister Li would be angry, the steward had to continue reporting, "Ye Zhengqing is already dead, and the Second Young Master's condition is not good as the effects of the medicine have not yet worn off. The Dali Temple dares not casually invite a doctor."
Last time at the Imperial Estate, Prime Minister Li had vaguely sensed that his son had a problem. After listening to the steward, he thought it was just a trick he was playing with and that he had used some aphrodisiacs.
He said angrily, "Take some men and bring him back, then have Madam Xiao come over."
Madam Xiao also heard about her son's affair, but she knew more about it than the Prime Minister, because the plan to use Ye Zhengqing and Xiao Zuo to kill Ye Zhen was a joint scheme between the mother and son.
But now that Ye Zhen is fine, it's her son who's hanging out with Ye Zhengqing. She subconsciously feels that her son must have been outmaneuvered by Ye Zhen.
Will the medicine that was originally intended for Ye Zhen also be used on his son?
If that's the case, her son Cheng'er will be in danger.
She had to call a doctor, and she had to ask the prime minister to find the best doctor for her son.
She hurriedly went to find Li Xiangguo, but Xie Jinyao grabbed her arm. "Aunt, whether you like it or not, your cousin is ruined."
Saving him is the priority right now, but it's equally important to keep my cousin and the second wife in the Prime Minister's heart.
What do you mean by that?
Xie Jinyao quickly said, "I'm pregnant with my cousin's child, Aunt, my cousin is going to have an heir."
Xiao was raised in a prominent family and grew up in an environment where her father favored his concubine over his wife. After marrying into the Li family, she fought wits with Shen for many years. Upon hearing this, she immediately understood Xie Jinyao's meaning.
"You want to appease the Prime Minister's anger towards Chenghai by having offspring?"
Xie Jinyao nodded, "Yes."
"But what about you and Chenghai?"
Nothing happened.
“Aunt, the person involved knows best in this matter. If I say that I have feelings for Brother Yi and sincerely want to be his concubine, and you help me confirm it, how can others know if it’s true or not?”
Madam Xiao was anxious for her son, but she was also concerned about the future of the second branch of the family. However, her son was unable to have children. Xie Jinyao was trying to deceive the Prime Minister. How would she handle the situation later?
Just as she was thinking this, she heard Xie Jinyao say, "Aunt, my method is just a delaying tactic to appease the Prime Minister first. We can discuss the rest after we rescue my cousin. There will always be a way."
After thinking about it, Lady Xiao agreed and hurried off to find Prime Minister Li.
She had a new idea. She couldn't have a son, but her brothers had many children, some of whom were already married. She could have Xie Jinyao pretend to be pregnant, and then, without the Prime Minister's knowledge, have her niece-in-law carry a child to be brought over. It wasn't impossible to do that.
Although he is not her biological grandson, he is still of the Xiao family bloodline.
Xie Jinyao watched her retreating figure and slowly curled her lips into a smile.
Once Lady Xiao reveals that she is pregnant, Lady Xiao will have no choice but to cooperate and allow her to conceive the Prime Minister's child.
She remembered that in her previous life, the prime minister took several concubines a few years later, two of whom became pregnant.
It's clear that he's healthy.
The higher a person's position and the older they are, the more they value having offspring. Once she becomes pregnant, she is confident she can ensure that Prime Minister Li will leave with his child.
And this child will be officially the grandson of the second wife. For the sake of the second wife's future, even if it's just to spite Shen, Xiao will endure and protect the mother and child.
Unaware that she had been tricked by Xie Jinyao, Lady Xiao approached Prime Minister Li with a pale face.
She cried as she told him that Li Chenghai might have been given a potent drug. "Your Excellency, that drug is extremely potent. If he is not treated in time, he will die. Chenghai is our child. He has always been the most filial to you. Please save him."
"Foolish woman!"
Prime Minister Li kicked Xiao aside, saying, "Why are you only telling me about such an important matter now?"
"How many times have I told you, a man should focus on his future, not get entangled in these domestic squabbles?"
He, a grown man, conspired with another man to scheme against Ye Zhen, a woman, using such despicable means, yet he still couldn't outsmart her.
Prime Minister Li really wanted Li Chenghai to die.
But after all, he was the son she had loved for many years. Despite her anger, she hurriedly sent the steward with his visiting card to invite Feng Xing, the former judge of the Imperial Medical Academy.
The steward dared not delay, sending people to the Ye family to fetch Li Chenghai while personally going to invite Feng Xing.
But as soon as he stepped out the door, he ran into people from the Dali Temple.
Li Chenghai is dead.
The event was interrupted, and the effects of the medication in his body could not be relieved, so he suffocated to death!
The steward was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly went to the Prime Minister's study.
In the study, Prime Minister Li slapped the man in black across the face.
The man in black was soaking wet. He had been chased by Xing Ze and had nowhere to run. He had no choice but to hide in the moat and soak in the cold water to dispel the effects of the drug on his body before he rushed over to inform Prime Minister Li.
But it was too late. On his way there, he heard that Li Chenghai had died, and he dared not hide it from Prime Minister Li.
Who would have thought that Prime Minister Li would actually hit him?
The man in black stared at Prime Minister Li with bloodshot eyes. "Father, it was the Second Young Master who bullied my father. My father was tortured to death by him..."
