Lady Li was flushed with anger. “Prime Minister, don’t smite with the tongue!”

“Since you’ve bought off my trusted follower, what else can’t you do?”

“No, I didn’t!”

“We’ve all seen with our own eyes and heard with our own ears, are you saying that she was lying? But didn’t you find the witness yourself, so did you specially find a witness to frame yourself?”

Lady Li was too angry to speak, her body shaking, and her eyes seemed to spit fire.

She found the witness and it was indeed a frame-up…

She really couldn’t argue with that.

Shen Yu was very clear about the truth of the matter, but now she could do nothing but watch, and when necessary, she had to take the prime minister’s side.

When Lady Li was at a loss of what to do, she glanced at Elder Feng and suddenly seemed to think of something. “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I have another witness.”

Shen Yu scolded with a black face, “Lady Li, Qiankun Palace is not a place for you to have fun, framing the prime minister, do you know what crime it will convict you of?”

Lady Li kowtowed constantly. “Your Majesty, please, believe me, I have another witness.”

Although Shen Yu wanted to announce the witness immediately, she had to pretend to ask for Ming Shu’s opinion. “Prime Minister, what do you think?”

Ming Shu was indifferent.

Shen Yu lifted her hand and signaled them to bring in the witness.

But soon an hour passed, and the imperial guards finally came back and reported that they didn’t find such a witness.

“No… How’s that possible… She must have been caught by the prime minister.” Lady Li didn’t believe it at all.

Shen Yu looked at Ming Shu, and the latter curled her lips, forming a faint smile.

It was like she was saying, Yes, I did it, but you don’t have evidence, so what can you do to me?

If not for Shen Yu’s good self-control, she would have smashed something.

Ming Shu asked calmly, “Your Majesty, Lady Li framed me for no reason, how should you dispose of her?”

Shen Yu: “…”

Elder Feng didn’t expect things to go this way, but…

Under Ming Shu’s gaze, Shen Yu squeezed out the following sentence: “Lady Li framed and slandered the prime minister for no reason, she shall be stripped of her official position and locked in the dungeon to await punishment.”

Lady Li was dragged away.

“Your Majesty, I’ve been wronged!”

“Your Majesty…”

Perhaps fearing that Lady Li might say something unfavorable, she was quickly dragged out with her mouth covered.

“Prime Minister, you’ve had a long day. I’ll give you a victory banquet another day, I’m feeling a little tired now. The court meeting is over!”

…

Elder Feng entered the imperial study and was immediately welcomed by a vase.

She was a little fat and barely missed it.

“Your Majesty…” Elder Feng knelt to the ground quickly.

“Waste!” Shen Yu swept everything on the table to the ground. “A bunch of wastes, you can’t even handle such little matters well.”

Elder Feng lowered her head. “Your Majesty, Jing Se must have found out and stopped the people we arranged ahead of time.”

“How did she know? How did she know?” Shen Yu threw things at Elder Feng. “Tell me, how did she know? Didn’t you say it was perfect? It would definitely give her no chance to stand up again. Was that what you call ‘perfect’? Huh?”

Elder Feng also didn’t know what went wrong.

But now she could only take all the responsibility and not talk back.

Shen Yu vented her anger and calmed down a little. She sat down in the dragon chair and looked at the mess with a grim face. “We will be more vigilant later, it’s more difficult to touch her.”

Elder Feng: “Your Majesty, the Jing family is deeply rooted, you can’t get rid of them all at once. It takes time.”

Shen Yu frowned.

If Jing Se had taken her side, none of these things would have happened.

“Elder Feng, do you think there’s something wrong with Jing Se?” Shen Yu suddenly asked.

She didn’t think much about it in Qiankun Palace before, but now as she thought about it, there seemed to be something wrong.

Elder Feng was surprised. “Your Majesty, you noticed that too?”

She felt something was wrong as early as outside the palace.

Shen Yu said, “There seems to be a lot going on in the borderlands this time that we don’t know about.”

She paused. “Elder Feng, you choose a good day to celebrate the heroic deeds of our prime minister.”

Elder Feng pondered for a while yet didn’t figure out what Shen Yu meant by saying that, but nodded her head anyway.

…

Yuhua Palace.

A man in fine clothes sat by the window, face pale. The sound of salutes came from outside the palace, yet the man still remained unmoved.

Shen Yu waved the others away. “What have you been thinking about?”

The man didn’t seem to hear Shen Yu.

Shen Yu was originally not in a good mood. She went up and gripped the man by his wrist, grabbing his chin. “Duanmu Shu, Shen Yan is dead.”

The man’s eyes were full of disgust. “Let go of me.”

Shen Yu sneered. “Even if she were alive, do you think she could save you? Now the whole Fengqi State is mine, including you.”

Duanmu Shu struggled. “Let go of me, Shen Yu. I’ll never like you, never!”

“Sure.”

Shen Yu pulled Duanmu Shu toward the bed.

“You really think I don’t dare to do anything to you.”

“Let go…”

Outside, the palace attendants listened to the crackling sound of smashing things inside, not even daring to breathe heavily. Each time Her Majesty came here, it would be like this.

Outside and a little distance away from Yuhua Palace, a girl in blue palace clothes stopped and looked over in the direction of the palace wall.

The girl’s face was as pink as peaches and plums, eyebrows like remote mountains, the bridge of her nose high and upright, and her lips were bright even without applying rouge. She opened her mouth slightly, revealing the tip of her soft tongue.

Her black eyes were full of curiosity, and her long, silky hair draped around her body. She wore a golden headpiece called buyao in her bun, with a carcanet on her neck, and her whole person could be described as gorgeous and exquisite.

Such a dress would be normal for women in other countries, but in Fengqi State, this was a look that women despised.

Because only men dressed up like this.

“Princess Seven, Your Highness, let’s go,” the guard reminded her from behind.

“Yuhua Palace is so lively every day.” The girl’s voice was like a valley oriole, graceful and pleasant.

“Your Highness…”

“Okay, let’s go,” the girl said lightly.

She stepped forward. The gold, silver, and jade on her body collided and gave out clear sounds.

…

When Ming Shu came out of the palace, Jing Yu immediately went up to her. “Lady, was there anything bad?”

Ming Shu thought about it carefully. “I feel hungry.”

“…” Lady, I wasn’t asking about this!

Ming Shu murmured a little depressedly, “I must work hard to be a traitor, so that I can bring drumsticks to the court meetings.”

Jing Yu: “…”

She seemed to hear something just now.

Seemed not.

Was it because she’d been too tired recently and began to hear things?

Jing Yu looked at her Lady suspiciously. “Lady, they didn’t manage to set you up this time, but they aren’t going to stop.”

“That’ll be great.”

Jing Yu: “???”

Not great!

“Lady… What about that Wu Ying?” Because Wu Ying was from the prime minister’s mansion, Shen Yu allowed Ming Shu to dispose of her people by herself.

“By the rules.”

“But…” Jing Yu was a little worried. “Her Majesty let you dispose of Wu Ying, perhaps she was trying to test you.”

But Ming Shu suddenly asked, “Do you think she dares touch me openly?”

Jing Yu hesitated for a few seconds. “No.”

“So there’s nothing to be afraid of. Go, let’s go back to have drumsticks.”

Jing Yu: “…”

Why did the lady become so strange?
