The old tutor fell into her arms and suddenly hugged her tightly. Ye Qingwan's body stiffened instantly. Damn it, he was really poisoned!

Then why didn't you have a seizure just now?

You didn't have an attack earlier or later, but now that everyone has gone to chase Xia Xuejian, you're having an attack. Aren't you just trying to cause trouble?

"Master, Master, wake up." Ye Qingwan tried desperately to push him away, but he was too good at holding her with both hands, right? This posture made her unable to use any strength at all.

The old master's breathing became heavier and his body was getting hot.

Ye Qingwan suddenly panicked and felt sorry for the old tutor.

Thinking of this, he used his foot to hook the inkstone that Xia Xuejian had just knocked over. Then he picked it up with great difficulty and prepared to hit him on the back of the head to force him to fall asleep.

But just as she raised it, the old master suddenly said weakly: "Don't smash it, I took a knockout drug and will fall asleep soon."

Ye Qingwan: ...

Brother, you are such a talent.

You actually knew to take the knockout drug in advance? So you knew Xia Xuejian would drug you?

But how could he know?

I can't figure it out.

But she still lowered her hands, but kept holding the inkstone. Who knows if he is lying again this time?

Fortunately, the old tutor just held her tightly and didn't do anything to her, which was much better than when Nangong Muyun was poisoned.

What a gentleman!

"Do you like the Ninth Prince?"

"Ah?" Ye Qingwan was confused by his nonsensical words. What I mean is, you are almost asleep, why are you still thinking about gossip?

"I don't like it. I want to skin him alive now."

“Hahaha.” The old tutor laughed: “Tomorrow I will go to the Prime Minister’s residence… to find… the Prime Minister…”

His voice was weak, probably because of the effect of the knockout drug, and he stammered and couldn't speak clearly.

"Why are you going to see my dad?"

After waiting for a long time, the old tutor didn't answer. She pushed him gently and found that he had fallen asleep leaning against her.

Fortunately, the old tutor took care of herself, otherwise she would have been in real trouble.

He dragged the man to the bathroom, took off his outer robe and shoes, and covered him with a blanket, as a way of repaying him for not taking advantage of him just now.

After finishing everything, Ye Qingwan sat down beside the bed, gasping for breath due to exhaustion. She turned her head to look at the old tutor sleeping soundly. He was such a quiet and handsome man. Who could have imagined that he would turn out to be an old fox who stirs up trouble after waking up?

As I was thinking, I fell asleep leaning on the bed without knowing when. The next day, I was still awakened by the noise outside.

When I woke up, I found myself lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, but the old tutor had disappeared.

Oh shit!

I didn't fight with the old lady for the bed last night, did I?

So embarrassing!

She quickly got up, put on her shoes and ran out to find the old tutor. She found that the mansion was surrounded by a circle of imperial guards, led by her master, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards, Meng Tao.

"Master, what happened?"

Meng Tao probably didn't expect her to come out from the inner room. He frowned and pulled her aside, asking her in a low voice, "Why are you in Master Liu's house?"

I can't explain it clearly.

Fortunately, Meng Tao did not continue to ask, but told her: "Go back quickly, and don't see Master Liu often in the future."

What's the meaning?

"Master, what happened? Tell me, I'm so anxious." Ye Qingwan pestered him and refused to move until he told her.

Meng Tao had no choice but to reveal a few words: "I don't know the details. His Majesty lost his temper early this morning and then ordered me to bring Master Liu into the palace."

If we bring him into the palace, there's no need to send out the Imperial Guards, right?

A matter of oral instruction.

With such a big commotion, people who didn’t know would think that the old tutor was plotting a rebellion!

No, something big must have happened.

But in the original novel, nothing serious happened. The old tutor was reprimanded because of Mianmian's matter. Then the Minister of Justice fell from power, and the old tutor gradually thought of joining the heroine, but he was always fine.

"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go to the palace to report." Meng Tao said, and turned to Liu Sheng: "Master, please come in."

Liu Sheng's brows were furrowed the whole time. He probably didn't know what had happened that could make His Majesty send out the Imperial Guards to summon him into the palace.

But he didn't say much, just nodded, and before leaving, he said to Shihu: "Send Miss Ye back to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Grand Tutor..." Ye Qingwan was a little worried. The emperor summoned ministers into the palace with such fanfare, and the previous prime minister had his property confiscated and his family exterminated.

The old master wouldn't...

But Liu Sheng smiled at her, reassuring her that nothing would happen: "You go home first, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he followed Meng Tao and others.

Ye Qingwan was in a daze from beginning to end. She was forcibly stuffed into a carriage and sent back to the prime minister's residence.

As soon as she got home, she rushed to find her father, and finally she found out the reason from her father.

Section 85

"The Minister of Justice was accused of abusing his power and replacing death row prisoners. He was arrested and imprisoned last night. In the end, he confessed that Liu Sheng was the mastermind behind it."

Replace the death row prisoner? !

How is that possible?

How dare the Minister of Justice be so presumptuous under the feet of the emperor?

Isn't this a blatant deception of the emperor and a challenge to the imperial power? No wonder the emperor was so angry.

"Dad, I don't think the Grand Tutor would do such a thing." She didn't dare to say anything else, but the old Grand Tutor would definitely not do such a stupid and audacious thing.

"You think it's useless. Now there are witnesses and evidence. Even the death row prisoner they replaced has been found and identified as the mastermind. Liu Sheng has no way to defend himself."

So he came prepared, determined to wrongly kill the old master: "Dad, who did it?"

The Prime Minister hesitated for a while, but finally told her: "Prince Xiang."

It's him again, what does he want to do?

Not only did he mess up the plot, but now he is also bent on killing the old tutor unjustly.

The Prime Minister saw her anger and advised her: "Don't interfere in this matter. Nangong Fusang and Liu Sheng have had a long-standing grudge. It was expected that he would target Liu Sheng first when he was able to return to Beijing. I just didn't expect that he would dig up such an old case."

Regardless? You can't ignore it. According to the plot, the old tutor is the heroine's right-hand man. She survived to the end and was even made a marquis and a prime minister.

If he died now, we would all be in trouble.

Besides... the old tutor was a very nice person, she really couldn't just stand by and watch.

Liu Sheng was brought into the palace, and before he could kneel, the emperor threw the report of the interrogation by the Embroidered Uniform Guard at his feet.

"Take a good look at it yourself."

Liu Sheng said nothing. He bent down to pick up the memorial and roughly understood the whole story. "Your Majesty, I am innocent."

"Unjust?" The emperor was so angry that he walked down from the dragon throne. "I summoned you to the palace not to hear you cry out for injustice, but to ask you to properly resolve this matter."

"You were the one who promoted the Minister of Justice, but he did something so bold and reckless right under your nose."

Liu Sheng lowered his head: "I am guilty."

The emperor pointed at him, wanting to curse but not knowing what to say: "If he had exchanged an ordinary death row prisoner, I would not say anything. But he exchanged a spy from another country, and now I have charged you with treason and collusion with the enemy. How can I protect you?"

The Liu family is finished with the crime of treason and treason alone.
