"Prime Minister Shen, do not panic. I have come here on the Emperor's orders to arrest you!"
When Prime Minister Shen saw Feng Moran, he was furious. He was certain that all the city guards were sent by him.
Although Feng Mo Ran was smiling, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Shen snorted coldly.
"Your Highness, what crime have I committed that warrants such a large-scale arrest?"
Feng Mo Ran's expression immediately changed, and she let out a cold snort.
"Your Excellency is asking a question you already know the answer to. You are the mastermind behind the wrongful conviction of the Prince of Libei. For your own selfish desires, you have acted recklessly and framed a loyal official. Today, I will arrest you and bring you to justice!"
Prime Minister Shen was so angry at Feng Mo Ran's words that he trembled all over.
"Nonsense! You're just looking for a pretext to accuse someone. Don't think you can just spout nonsense just because you're the Second Prince!"
Feng Mo Ran's face was expressionless, as if covered by a thin layer of ice.
"Don't think that just because you're the prime minister you can disobey the emperor's orders. The reason I've brought the city guards is because I'm acting on the emperor's orders!"
After saying this, Feng Ranmo turned around and shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Arrest the suspect!"
Upon hearing this, two city guards immediately stepped forward, intending to subdue Prime Minister Shen on the spot.
Upon seeing this, the Prime Minister's face turned ashen, and he immediately reprimanded him.
"Stop! I am the current Prime Minister. How dare you lowly people like you lay a hand on me?!"
The two stopped, their faces showing hesitation.
As everyone knows, Prime Minister Shen is a high-ranking official in the court, and even if they are city guards, they cannot act rudely.
Although the Empress has been imprisoned in the Cold Palace by the Emperor, she has not yet been deposed...
The two of them turned around and glanced at Feng Moran.
Feng Mo Ran deliberately raised his voice.
"You are indeed the Prime Minister, but no matter how high your official rank, it is not above the law. This is the decree of the current Emperor. Do you dare to disobey it?!"
Hearing this, the two city guards gained courage and, without saying a word, took control of Prime Minister Shen from both sides.
Prime Minister Shen struggled fiercely, his face turning bright red.
"You dare to be so audacious, Feng Mo Ran! You dare to frame me! I'll never let this go!"
Feng Moran spoke with a smile.
"You're just going to waste your breath arguing here. We can settle things properly when you've turned the tables."
After throwing those words at the Prime Minister, Feng Mo Ran's voice became sharp once again.
"Guards, arrest Prime Minister Shen and bring him to prison to await investigation!"
At this moment, Prime Minister Shen felt a chill run down his spine. The fact that Feng Mo Ran had made such a big move against him meant that she had made thorough preparations.
"You dare arrest me before I'm convicted?"
Feng Mo Ran glanced at Prime Minister Shen out of the corner of her eye.
"This time, the evidence is overwhelming, and you can't deny it! Take him away!"
Two city guards subdued Prime Minister Shen.
All the servants were panicked when they saw this. They had thought that Prime Minister Shen's intervention would surely turn the tide, but they never expected it to end like this.
Just now, several servants had already grabbed their weapons, intending to rescue the Prime Minister from the city guards.
However, the Second Prince kept citing the Emperor's orders, which made people uneasy.
Since His Highness the Second Prince has brought the city guards, it means that it is the Emperor's will.
If we oppose the Second Prince at this time, wouldn't that be opposing the Emperor?
