"Daddy..."

Yun Wu quickly walked to the side of Prime Minister Yun. Her Prime Minister father was not angry at all for her eavesdropping. Instead, he reached out and straightened her messy hair.

There was some confusion and uneasiness in Yun Wu's amber eyes. Wei Congyu actually wanted to arrange a marriage with her.

Although she and he had been together in school since childhood, she only respected him as a brother at most. But when it came to marriage, she thought... she was unwilling.

"Dad, I don't want to marry the Crown Prince..."

"Don't worry, Awu, Daddy knows what's going on."

Prime Minister Yun touched his precious daughter's head and comforted her. He seemed to know everything.

He didn't know who informed him of the truth of the last incident. He never expected that Wei Congyu and Duke Cao of the Imperial Concubine's faction would secretly plot against his daughter.

However, this matter involves the power struggle between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince, and he cannot make a big deal out of it. Now that he is clear about this, he must protect Yun Wu and keep her out of it, and not get involved in the disputes in Wei State.

He would not let his daughter marry Wei Congyu, let alone Wei Yan.

Now he wanted to know who was so capable that he could find out the mastermind behind the scenes and secretly send the evidence to him.

And Xie Rongjing who was far away in the Xiao Kingdom’s palace—oh no, I should call him Xiao Rongjing.

Xiao Rongjing, the legitimate son of the late queen who had been missing for a long time, returned to the Xiao Kingdom's palace.

Emperor Xiao may have awakened some fatherly love when he was seriously ill and after Xiao Rongjing returned safely to the palace, he showed care that he had never shown before.

Probably because Emperor Xiao had only one son, Xiao Rongjing, and he was now dying, he had originally planned to compromise and agree to the Queen Mother's suggestion to adopt a member of the royal family so that the Xiao Kingdom would have a successor.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rongjing appeared again. When it came to biological bloodline and adopted heirs, Emperor Xiao would definitely prefer biological bloodline, and the queen's thoughts were dashed.

In the brightly lit and luxurious palace, Xiao Rongjing was sitting at a desk, carefully reading memorials.

Emperor Xiao is now so ill that he can't even lift his hands. Xiao Rongjing is now handling state affairs on his behalf.

He was wearing a black brocade robe made of fine fabric, and his handsome features made him even more handsome. How could anyone look down on him since he was a slave of the lowest status in the Wei State?

"Your Highness..."

There was no one else around at the moment, and the secret guard suddenly appeared in the hall. He leaned over and knelt respectfully in front of Xie Rongjing.

"The secret guards of the Prime Minister's residence reported that the prince of Wei State came to the Prime Minister's house a few days ago and asked to marry his daughter, but the Prime Minister bluntly refused."

"My father-in-law must have read the evidence I sent to you. Very good..."

Xiao Rongjing's voice was low, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face after hearing that Wei Congyu's proposal to marry his lady failed.

Originally, Wei Congyu and Duke Cao had each concealed their own actions. If he had not painstakingly collected evidence and handed it over to Prime Minister Yun, he would probably have been kept in the dark now.

Wei Congyu arranged a marriage with the young lady in order to be a hero and save the beautiful girl, while Duke Cao wanted to take the opportunity to kill the young lady and frame the prince in order to support the second prince born by the imperial concubine to ascend to the throne.

Now, his father-in-law would certainly not marry his daughter into the royal family of Wei.

At this moment, someone knocked twice outside the tightly closed palace door, and the secret guard immediately hid behind a pillar.

A woman dressed in palace maid's clothes walked in gracefully, holding a porcelain bowl.

The palace maid looked at the handsome Xiao Rongjing sitting on the steps and couldn't help but look at him shyly a few more times.

"Your Highness, I am here on the orders of the Queen to bring you some tranquilizing soup."

The palace maid smelled heavily of makeup, her posture and voice were very graceful, and her every move was meant to seduce, and it was obvious that she had come here fully prepared.

Without even raising his head, Xiao Rongjing held the brush and wrote a few words on the memorial on the table, then spoke in a faint voice:

"Throw the body to the Queen."

The palace maid didn't understand what Xiao Rongjing said, and the next second she was stabbed in the neck from behind by the secret guard hiding in the dark.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will have someone throw the body into the Queen's bedroom."

The secret guard calmly put away the bloody sword and half-knelt respectfully in front of Xiao Rongjing.

"From sending soup to sending people to seduce, this queen... is really painstaking."

Xiao Rongjing's voice was cold. The queen did not expect that he was not dead yet and returned to the palace at this critical moment.

He is now fully grown and no longer has to be afraid of her. Instead, she is the one who is trying to build a good relationship with him and wants to send people to him.

Apart from his lady, he could not tolerate anyone else in his eyes. The powder on his body stinked so much that it could not compare to the lady's refreshing body fragrance. His voice was so artificial that he was disgusted to death. The lady's voice was still nicer.

The lady was the most beautiful and had a soft voice. He couldn't walk when he saw her.

The old emperor only has a few days left to live. He will soon be able to complete his plan and see the lady he has been dreaming of.

I don't know if the young lady has gained weight again recently...

The weather became warmer after the beginning of spring, and some flowers in the Prime Minister's Mansion bloomed.

In the small garden in the backyard, Yun Wu, dressed in a green spring dress, was pruning flower branches, while Wei Jinyao, dressed gorgeously, was wandering around boredly with a flower in her hand.

"You have been refusing to go out these days. So you have been fiddling with the flowers you have raised in the mansion?"

"I'm just too lazy to go out..."

Yun Wu's beautiful eyes were a little evasive, and she stopped after trimming a few flowers.

The last incident was not made public, so Wei Jinyao didn't know that she was assassinated on the way out of the city. Although she was Wei Congyu's sister, she knew nothing about what Wei Congyu had done.

Yun Wu was a little scared after what happened last time, and she tried not to go out if possible, so it was Wei Jinyao who came to visit her.

"Miss! Miss!"

At this time, Chun Xing came hurriedly running over with a roll in her hand, and greeted Wei Jinyao and Yun Wu eagerly.

"The old emperor of Xiao Kingdom passed away two days ago, and now the new emperor has ascended the throne."

Chun Xing said anxiously, and Yun Wu showed a confused look on her face. What does the enthronement of the new emperor of Xiao State have to do with her?

"Miss, look, this is the portrait of Xiao Rongjing, the new emperor of Xiao State!"

Chun Xing hurriedly unfolded the portrait in her hand. Yun Wu's confused eyes instantly became a little surprised, and even Wei Jinyao was startled.

The handsome man in the portrait, wearing an imperial crown, was none other than the slave of the prime minister's daughter who disappeared a few months ago.
