“Cousin, you’re amazing.”

Luan Hong called out to Su Qing with admiration in her eyes. Her gaze was the same as Ji Xiaoying’s when she looked at Su Qing.

“You’re not bad yourself.”

Su Qing also smiled when she saw Luan Hong. She admired this cousin of hers. A pampered young lady who could kill people must have some guts.

“Cousin, teach me martial arts. I want to be as powerful as you.”

Luan Hong grabbed Su Qing’s hand excitedly. She recalled that she had just held the urinal and quickly withdrew her hand. She awkwardly placed her hand behind her back and looked at Su Qing with beautiful big eyes full of excitement and antic.i.p.ation.

“Alright.”

Su Qing readily agreed. Her cousin would be even better than Jiang Yuyan if she trained her well.

“Let’s not talk about it for now. Xi’er has been tired all night. Let her eat.”

Yang Ruxue’s heart ached for her daughter, so she pulled her into the house. She hadn’t let go of her hand since she saw Su Qing, afraid her daughter would leave again.

“Alright.”

Su Qing nodded. On the way back, she had eaten two steamed buns because she was hungry. However, the feeling of being protected by her mother made her reluctant to refuse.

Yang Zhi distributed the steamed buns Su Qing brought back to everyone. After a full meal, he prepared to leave.

The two children with a high fever last night miraculously recovered after taking Su Qing’s medicine. They drank a bowl of hot porridge and ate half a steamed bun. They were energetic and lively as they played with Xiao Chen in the courtyard.

It was very troublesome to travel with so many children. First of all, they had to have a carriage. They could not walk much.

Fortunately, Su Qing had brought back a horse carriage with her, and Yang Zhi had also brought a horse carriage with him. The five adults and the children squeezed together and sat down.

Su Qing and Yang Zhi drove the carriage to Mo City.

As Su Qing thought, they did not encounter any search or pursuers returning to Mo City. They returned to Mo City smoothly.

Su Hanxuan had been on tenterhooks all the way. If they were caught, their entire family would be destroyed.

When Su Hanxuan got off the carriage, he finally relaxed.

While Su Qing and the others had successfully escaped, the Prime Minister’s residence in the capital was in a mess.

Prime Minister Wan sat angrily in the inner hall. The butler and the secret agent who went to investigate trembled and knelt on the ground. The other servants were so frightened that they dared not even breathe loudly.

Prime Minister Wan had smashed everything in the room. He sat on the armchair and panted heavily. He was angry and afraid.

In the heavily-guarded palace, the dignified imperial concubine was killed by the second son of the An family. All the guards and palace maids were dead. The second son of the An family was killed by the imperial guards while resisting arrest. There was no evidence from the dead.

Minister Wan could only temporarily swallow this anger. He knew this matter was related to the Emperor, but his daughter killed Consort An first. Even if the Emperor killed her, it was understandable. The capital was the Emperor’s world, and his son was far away on the border. If he were to challenge the Emperor, he would force the Emperor to kill him in desperation.

He placed his hopes on the great killing weapon. He would have a magic weapon to ensure his victory if he had a great killing weapon. He would immediately have his son raise an army to rebel.

Previously, he had received a secret report saying that the people he had sent had not arrived yet. The person who had been the killer had left, which made Prime Minister Wan extremely angry. To find the truth, he sent people to Mo City to investigate again.

In the end, the people they sent to investigate found the bodies of those who went to Mo City to find the big killing weapon on the official road of Jin City. More than 20 well-trained Wan Family soldiers were killed just like that?

This was not what scared him the most. What scared him the most was what happened in Luo City.

One night, his newly appointed Zhizhou and the 30-odd soldiers of the Wan Family Army that he had sent to capture the children had all disappeared. They were either dead or alive. The guards at the city gate did not see them leave. They turned the city upside down but could not find their bodies.

He suspected that the Emperor was monitoring his every move and that he must have a secret force that could kill people without anyone knowing.

This made Prime Minister Wan extremely frightened. If the Emperor raised such an elite force, wouldn’t it be as easy as flipping his hand to kill him?

He thought of the secret report from the Mo City’s secret agents that the killer had gone missing? Now that he felt that the Emperor might have taken away the person, Minister Wan panicked when he thought that the Emperor had such a powerful weapon in his hands.

He had to make his son rebel before the Emperor made a big killing weapon. He couldn’t wait any longer.

The following day, Prime Minister Wan asked the Emperor to let him know that his father’s death anniversary was coming, and he wanted to go to the funeral and ask for the Emperor’s approval.

The Great Xia Kingdom valued filial piety. When an old man pa.s.sed away, no matter how big an official was, they had to observe filial piety for three years. Usually, the Emperor would approve of this excuse to ask for leave.

This was also the method that Prime Minister Wan had racked his brains to come up with. In front of all the civil and military officials, it would be unreasonable for the Emperor not to approve and would attract criticism.

The Emperor looked at Prime Minister Wan with a gloomy expression. Since he killed Imperial Concubine Wan, the Emperor feared the Wan family would rebel, so he secretly monitored Prime Minister Wan’s every move.

As long as a messenger pigeon flew out from the Wan Clan to the border, he would send people to intercept it one by one, not allowing Prime Minister Wan to pa.s.s the news to Wan Yulin.

The news that was intercepted last night was indeed as he had thought. The Wan Clan wanted to rebel and could no longer sit still.

So, how could he let Prime Minister Wan leave the capital?

Wan Yulin would not dare to rebel as long as he was in his hands.

“Beloved Minister, Zhen understands your filial piety, but recently, the state affairs in the court have been busy and require the Prime Minister’s a.s.sistance.

1 hope the Prime Minister will prioritize the state affairs, and it will not be too late to go to the funeral next year.”

The Emperor rejected him because he was busy with state affairs. Minister Wan panicked even more. The Emperor seemed determined to use him as a hostage to tie him down.

“This official should share the Emperor’s worries when the country is busy, but last night, 1 dreamed that my father asked me why 1 didn’t see him for a long time. This old official’s heart was bitter, and 1 hope the Emperor can approve of this old official’s filial piety.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Prime Minister Wan glanced sideways at his trusted aides in the court. These people immediately understood and stepped forward to help Prime Minister Wan.

“Emperor, filial piety is the most important thing in the Great Xia Kingdom. Please fulfill Prime Minister Wan’s filial piety!”

“Emperor, please fulfill Prime Minister Wan’s filial piety.”

Someone stood up and started the conversation. The rest of the people feared they would offend the Prime Minister if they disagreed.

The Emperor’s expression darkened when he saw his subjects were not even on his side. These despicable people who forsaken justice for profit, eating the salary of the Imperial Court, were helping Wan Shengchang, this old fellow, to oppose him?

“You keep asking me to fulfill Prime Minister Wan’s filial piety. Alright, who can solve the problem of the disaster victims rebelling? Who could solve the problem of the Hu and the Tartans invasion, and who could solve the problem of crop failure caused by the drought? 1 can let Prime Minister Wan go if you can help me resolve my worries.”

As soon as the Emperor said this, the Imperial Court instantly fell silent. It was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.

“Pa.s.s down my orders. I will not leave any useless people in the Imperial Court. Minister of Personnel Jiang Chaohai and Censor Li Fei are incompetent. They cannot share the country’s worries or protect the people.”

The Emperor had cut off two of Wan Shengchang’s capable helpers with a single display of power and even made all the officials in the court fall silent out of fear, not daring to help Wan Shengchang openly.

There was a lot of fighting in the royal court. Su Qing brought his parents and children to Mo City safely. When Ji Shuisheng heard that Su Qing had returned, he went to see her happily..
