"Your majesty, the Minister of the Right is here."

Eunuch Liu Yong lowered his body and whispered into Emperor Xuan's ear. He subconsciously looked to the side at Lord Wang and gave him a meaningful glance before retreating to the side.

Emperor Xuan's expression changed slightly. He answered and looked at the Minister of the Left with a hint of weariness in his eyes, "Yuqing, you must take care of the Fan family's orphan. Don't let anything go wrong!"

With that, a trace of viciousness flashed across her eyes. Her actions carried the aura of a king. This frightened Wang Yuqing so much that she hurriedly kowtowed to him and quickly left.

Just as he reached the door, he saw a man wearing a snow-white robe indifferently sitting on a wheelchair. He once again respectfully bowed, and quickly left.

And that one glance made the man in white's mouth curl up into a light smile. He then glanced at Liu Yong, who had a flattering expression on his face, and a sharp light flashed across his eyes.

"This humble subject pays his respects to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Since it was difficult for Jun Yu Chen to move, he could only respectfully bow with his hands.

"Right Prime Minister, there is no need to be so courteous. May I know why you have come to the palace today?"

Generally speaking, Jun Yu Chen didn't even need to go to the imperial study to meet up with the Emperor since he had matters to attend to. Emperor Xuan was somewhat surprised that he would come asking for an audience right after the morning assembly.

"Yesterday's Flower God Banquet caused this humble subject to become foolish with what the Western Tomb's Regent said. General Fan's family was miserably exterminated by the martial arts people, and the sudden appearance of an orphan has probably aroused the suspicion of the Minister. I wonder what your majesty thinks of this matter? "

He more or less knew about the matter of Fan Yun's clan extermination. Fan Yun Qi was once the most favored concubine of Emperor Xuan, and three months ago, she suddenly died, followed by the destruction of the Fan clan. Presumably, this had something to do with Emperor Xuan.

Fan Qi was indeed lucky to not have been silenced. Now that the old story was brought up again, it was likely that she too would not be able to escape the calamity! Suddenly, that calm face appeared in his mind. It made his heart itch as the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

"It does constitute a scandal! "What Fan family's orphan, it's all ridiculous!" Emperor Xuan snorted. "General Fan's tragic case concluded a month ago. The Right Prime Minister is really worried about too much."

If Xiao Yuqi hadn't mentioned the Fan family's orphan, he wouldn't have cared about this matter. This could also be considered a royal scandal; if the world knew that everything originated from him, wouldn't it be despised by the world? He was indeed regretful that he had brought disaster and loyalty upon a woman. However, the only thing he could do now was to kill Fan Yunqi's daughter and block the mouth of everyone.

None of the emperors in the world would admit their mistake, and only endless slaughter would cover up their mistake.

"This humble subject is indeed overly worried. In that case, this humble subject shall return to my residence first. " After he had finished speaking, he did not wait for Emperor Xuan's response. Clasping his fist and bowing his head, he turned around and left while rocking his wheelchair. However, no one saw the gloomy expression on his face as if he was worried about something.

It was taboo for an impolite official to challenge the throne. Even though Emperor Xuan was slightly angered in his heart, but love was still on his side, naturally, he wouldn't argue with Jun Yu too much.

"How is it?"

Deep in the night, in the study room, a man dressed in white seemed to be drawing something with his head down. He seemed to be drawing a portrait.

"Kill him."

A clear and cold voice sounded out, causing the man in white to pause for a moment. His hand trembled slightly, and a drop of ink fell from the spot where his eyebrow was being drawn, spreading out and destroying the entire painting.

However, the man only glanced at her with a slight frown. He then took the brush and meticulously drew a picture. In an instant, he saw a tender plum blossom ingot appear at the corner of his eyebrows, adding a hint of charm.

"Step down." The man spoke slowly as if he hadn't heard the man's report. He only focused on describing the scene in front of him. One could faintly see the delicate face of a woman. Her eyes were cold and indifferent.

"Miss … "Oh, no, young master. If we carry our master like this, won't we …"

A small follower with a bun tied around his neck said with a sullen expression as he looked at the young master walking in front and taking a look around.

"Lan, you talk a lot today." Yino turned his head helplessly and waved the fan in his hand. He was dressed in an elegant young master's attire, but his appearance did not hide her beautiful face at all. There was an additional trace of feminine charm, but it did not cause any of the surrounding girls to fall in love with him.

Lan'er stomped her feet, keeping up with her mistress' attitude. She mumbled to herself, "You've never seen Master angry before. Don't look at Master's gentle appearance. He's so fierce that everyone is afraid of him!"

These words caused Yinuo to be stunned. She suddenly recalled the anger that came at the Flower God Banquet that night. She knew that he was inexplicably angry, which gave rise to a sense of fear. She could even remember that feeling of depression.

"No matter what, we are already out. Shouldn't we go back now to demand punishment?"

In the last few days, an inexplicable pressure had been weighing down on her heart, and she had always felt that something big was going to happen. Even the guards in the courtyard had increased, causing her to feel suspicious but not dare to ask anything.

"No, no!" The moment she heard she was going to be punished, Lan'er immediately became timid and obediently followed behind Yino. Even if she was going to be punished, she would have to play along with it before going back to receive her punishment!

"Little woman, since your father owes this old man money, and now that this old man is dead, you can use your body to repay the debt!"

Suddenly, a vulgar voice rang out. It was exceptionally ear-piercing to Yinuo. She raised her head to look, only to see a large group of people gathered in front of her.

"Daddy owes you money since long ago, what 50 taels?" "Grandpa Cheng, you'd better not add insult to injury."

The girl was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. Her eyes were bloodshot as she kneeled on the ground. There was a piece of paper spread out in front of her that was used to bury her father.

Pui!" Your father once made a bet on this paper, and you've also read the book for a few days, why don't you take a look at it? " "The short, fat, vulgar man took out a piece of paper from his bosom and glanced arrogantly at the kneeling woman.

"My dad can't read, you scoundrel! You're lying to him!" The woman glanced at the note, her helpless eyes mumbling.

"In short, your father still owes me fifty liang! I'll either sell you to me or pay you back! "

These words made Yino's face darken. He sneered and then stepped forward and said, "The sun is shining and this scoundrel is acting so tyrannically. There is no justice left in this world!"

Even Lan Er was so frightened that she tugged at the hem of Yino's clothes. She looked at the crying girl and felt sympathy for her.

"Stinking brat? What nonsense is this? " The scoundrel glared at her, his eyes suddenly shining as he sniffed, "Could it be that Gou Hou came out of there?" "I've also played with men before, but I have some looks …"
