The Prime Minister was imprisoned, and although his residence was not sealed off, the imperial edict from the palace had already arrived, first accusing the Prime Minister of his bad behavior, and then encouraging the people in the Prime Minister's residence to report the Prime Minister.

After the eunuch read out the imperial edict, he found an excuse and stayed in the prime minister's residence for a long time, but no one went to report it.

Because there are not many people in the prime minister's mansion, only about a hundred people, all of whom grew up in the mansion since childhood. The prime minister treats them very kindly, and they would never sell out their master for fame and fortune.

When Ye Qingwan heard that her father was imprisoned, she immediately panicked.

That’s not right. In the original novel, everything was fine in the prime minister’s mansion up to this point. There was no mention of her father being imprisoned. What was going on?

As soon as the eunuch left, she immediately took Ning Shaoqing to the Ministry of Justice prison to meet her father.

But the Minister of Justice did not dare to let her in, and kept asking other officials of the Ministry of Justice to stop her, until the King of Xiang appeared and said: "Let her in."

When Ye Qingwan saw King Xiang, a thought immediately came to his mind: Could it be this troublemaker again?

As a result, King Xiang immediately explained: "Don't look at me like that. This time it really wasn't me. I just got the news and was going to come over to inquire about the situation."

Ye Qingwan looked him up and down and felt that he might not be lying. With his brave and aggressive personality, he must have been very proud of himself after finally doing such a great thing.

So he didn't bother with him anymore and quickly ran into the prison, where he saw his father who was imprisoned in Cell No. 2.

"Dad, are you okay?" Ye Qingwan looked inside through a small window on the iron gate.

After a long time, the Prime Minister's eyes appeared in the window: "Wan'er, how could you come to a place like this? Go back quickly, Dad is fine."

At this time, King Xiang also followed in, glanced at the official next to him, and said, "Open the door."

The officer was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, this is Room 2 of the Tianzi Room. It cannot be opened without the order of His Majesty."

King Xiang rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you don't open this prison door, I will open one on your head."

The officer was so frightened that he fell to his knees, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Your Highness, please spare my life."

Until the Minister of Justice came in and snatched the key from his hand: "You have no eyes, get out now."

So he drove the man out and quickly opened the prison door.

Ye Qingwan finally went in: "Dad, I know it wasn't you who did it. They wronged you, didn't they?"

"Don't worry about this matter. Before the truth comes out, don't run around. Stay at home and take care of yourself and your mother. Do you understand?" The Prime Minister didn't want to involve his family.

"Don't worry, no matter what happens, Dad won't let anyone touch you and your mother."

Even if the emperor really wanted to kill him unjustly, he would fight hard to protect them.

Ye Qingwan hugged him silently: "I understand, Dad."

It’s one thing to know, but it’s also one to manage.

This is her father.

"Go and bring the Minister of Personnel here for Dad. Dad has something to ask him."

Ye Qingwan didn't know what he wanted to ask, but she obeyed him obediently and brought the Minister of Personnel who was imprisoned in an ordinary cell over.

"Kneel down." The Prime Minister did not ask anything and directly asked the Minister of Personnel to kneel down.

Ye Qingwan and King Xiang were both stunned. What was this doing?

The Minister of Personnel is a second-rank official. Except for the emperor, who would dare to make him kneel?

But the Minister of Personnel knelt down without saying anything, but the Prime Minister said: "Not to me, but to the tomb of the late emperor."

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Personnel changed direction again.

"I want to ask you, have you ever been involved in the buying and selling of official positions?"

The Minister of Personnel immediately raised his hand and swore: "I swear to the spirit of the late emperor that if I have done anything to corrupt the imperial examination, I will be struck by lightning and never be able to be reborn."

"Okay." After receiving his assurance, the Prime Minister felt relieved: "Get up now."

But the Minister of Personnel did not stand up. Instead, he turned to the Prime Minister and knelt down, even kowtowed: "For decades, the Prime Minister has not abandoned me, a poor student, and has brought me to my current position step by step. I am deeply grateful."

"After today, I am afraid I won't have the chance to say goodbye again, so I kowtow to show my gratitude."

After bowing, he stood up and left, his back looking very determined.

Section 111

The Prime Minister knew what he wanted to do, he wanted to take charge of the whole matter. But he didn't know that His Majesty dealt with people, not matters, and even if he wanted to take charge, His Majesty would not let him.

With a sigh, he let Ye Qingwan go home.

Before leaving, Ye Qingwan gave the officials a lot of money and asked them to take good care of her father and not let him get cold or hungry. She also asked them to provide her father with whatever he wanted to eat. If he didn't have enough money, he could go to the prime minister's residence to get more. She would never treat them unfairly.

After leaving the Ministry of Justice prison, Ye Qingwan prepared to go to the Jinyiwei. She knew that the commander of the Jinyiwei was her father's man and should be able to get useful clues.

But the carriage suddenly stopped in the street.

"Qingqing, what's wrong?" Ye Qingwan lifted the curtain and went out. A man in nightgown was standing on the street with a knife in his hand, blocking her carriage.

"You go in, I'll take care of him." Ning Shaoqing said, putting down the whip and preparing to take action.

But the other party suddenly said: "Miss Ye, my master wants to see you."

Owner?!

Are you a dog? Return to the owner!

"What a coincidence! I don't want to see him." After Ye Qingwan said this, she lowered the car curtain.

But the other party said: "The master said that she has a way to rescue the prime minister."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingwan immediately lifted the car curtain and said, "Lead the way."

Not a word of nonsense.

So she led the way in front, Ning Shaoqing drove the carriage and followed behind, and Ye Qingwan sat next to him.

Ning Shaoqing leaned over and asked her, "If you really go, what if she cheats on you?"

"I will kill her if she lies to me."

Ning Shaoqing didn't say anything else, but silently gave her a thumbs up, saying how domineering and awesome she was.

After walking for a long time and turning many corners, the carriage finally stopped in a secluded alley. The surroundings were very dilapidated and there was not even a ghost in sight.

She really didn't know that there was such a dilapidated and desolate place in the capital.

They walked into a weed-covered yard. In the distance, a figure appeared behind the bushes. The man in black was about a hundred meters away from them. He made a gesture to Ye Qingwan to stop and not let her get any closer.

"Ms. Ye, we're meeting for the first time and I have to take you to such a desolate place. Please forgive me." The other person spoke. It was a woman.

"Do you have a way to save my father?" Ye Qingwan didn't want to joke with her. If you have a way, we'll listen. If not, we'll leave. There's no point in wasting time chatting with her.

"Yes." The woman said, "But there are conditions."

"You say." I know you have conditions. If you gave it away for free, I would be worried.

But she never expected that the other party's condition was: "You ask to be crowned as a princess and marry to the grassland."
