Feng Wu paused, Xue Zining's words made her heart guard against something. Had something happened in the Prime Minister's mansion that she, as Feng Yin, didn't know about?
However, it wasn't Feng Yin's fault. After all, Xue Zining dared to speak this way because she had experienced it in her previous life.
In her previous life, she only knew after Xue Wenjie made his move. But at that time, under Xue Wenjie's authority, she didn't dare to say a word of refusal, which led to the demise of the young man who was loyal to her.
Now that she had the reason from her past life, she would never let anyone else harm those close to her.
"From now on, act as my eyes and ears. I am confined to the palace all day, but you are not. If even you don't know, then what's the difference between me and a deaf or blind person?" Xue Zining said coldly.
Feng Yin and the others lowered their heads in shame. Feng Wu, taking the lead, said word for word, "Your subordinate will never let this happen again."
"This is the last time. Let's go!" Xue Zining walked past Feng Yin and the others.
Feng Wu was slightly stunned. His Majesty seemed different.
The Prime Minister's Mansion
In the courtyard, a handsome youth in a jade green brocade robe looked at the Regent Xue Wenjie with a cold yet composed gaze. He swept over the Imperial Guards behind Xue Wenjie and a hint of cold mockery touched his lips. "Regent, it is still early for a visit. Please come again tomorrow."
A visit? Xue Wenjie sneered. Just a trapped beast, yet it still put on airs? Soon, he would be crying without a place to go.
"Prime Minister Hua must have misunderstood. I am not here to visit the Prime Minister's mansion. Besides, would I bring the Imperial Guards for a visit?"
"Otherwise? Is the Regent here to protect my safety? The Regent is overthinking it. I don't need the Regent to disturb the Imperial Guards to protect my safety. Someone, see the Regent out."
Xue Wenjie sneered as he looked at Hua Yunjin. "Prime Minister, don't be anxious. You will soon know what has happened."
Hua Yunjin's gaze turned cold. "What does the Regent mean by this?"
"What do I mean? Prime Minister Hua, please be patient. We will know soon." After speaking, he said to the Imperial Guards behind him, "Go and search this Prime Minister's mansion thoroughly. If a single fly escapes, I will hold you responsible."
"Yes." The Imperial Guards received the order and were about to search.
Hua Yunjin's gaze chilled, and he said coldly, "Who dares?"
The Imperial Guards stopped in their tracks. Hua Yunjin looked at Xue Wenjie and asked coldly, "What does the Regent mean by this?"
"Didn't I say? We will know soon."
"Regent, if you want to search my mansion, do you not need His Majesty's command?"
"Command? I don't need to go through so much trouble to search the mansion."
Upon hearing this, Hua Yunjin sneered, "So, the Regent can do as he pleases? Does that mean the Regent can already make decisions in place of His Majesty?"
Xue Wenjie smiled upon hearing this. "Prime Minister Hua, as the Regent, I assist the young Emperor. This is beyond doubt. However, Prime Minister Hua privately hoarding the dragon robe, this is likely a crime of deceiving the Emperor."
"Regent, you speak nonsense. When did I hoard the dragon robe?"
"This requires Prime Minister Hua to cooperate with my search."
"What if I refuse?" Hua Yunjin said coldly.
"Then I will have to force my way to search," Xue Wenjie said, looking at Hua Yunjin with unbridled arrogance.
"I want to see His Majesty," Hua Yunjin said.
"Prime Minister Hua, I'm afraid this is not something you can decide. Moreover, it is already late at night, and His Majesty has already gone to bed. Prime Minister Hua should not disturb him."
Hua Yunjin's eyes turned cold, his hands clenched tightly. He knew that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
