After the replacement of the delicate imperial concubine, my emperor will never come to court again

Chapter 264 Advance Protection
Upon discovering this situation, the Prime Minister turned around and sat back in the sedan, sitting upright and looking at his men.

The subordinate also knew that the current situation had been exposed, so he took out the hand hidden behind him. In his hand was a three-inch long dagger.

"Shi Dong, you and I have been together for five years, right? You sit and sleep with these brothers every day, how can you do it?"

When the subordinate named Shi Dong heard this, he raised the dagger in his hand to his chest and said, "Sir, don't blame me. I can't do anything about it."

The prime minister asked calmly: "He is helpless? How could a helpless person do such a thing?"

The tone behind his words was a little harsh, and anger spurted out.

"Sir, don't blame me. Who told you not to take care of me on weekdays? Now it has led me to a dead end. There is no turning back!"

"You did such a thing and you still blame us?"

The prime minister waved his sleeves angrily and cursed through gritted teeth.

Shi Dong heard this and laughed twice.

"I'm a good gambler, but you knew this but didn't restrain me, and allowed me to continue gambling. As a result, I lost everything and my wife and children were arrested. If I didn't do this, my whole family would be ruined." There is no way to survive.”

Shi Dong straightened the dagger in his hand, approached the prime minister and said, "Sir, please have mercy on my family. My child is only three years old."

The prime minister gritted his teeth and sat in the sedan chair. He knew that there was nothing he could do today, but he did not want to lose the evening. He sat upright and clasped his hands and stopped talking.

When Shi Dong saw the prime minister like this, he was afraid first. He crossed his feet and didn't dare to take action.

The prime minister saw this and sneered: "What, now you can't even protect your family?"

When Shi Dong heard this, he immediately shouted, raised his dagger, closed his eyes and stabbed the prime minister.

But a scream was heard, and Shi Dong fell inside, falling on top of the prime minister.

The prime minister was too frightened and was breathing rapidly. He quickly pushed Shi Dong away to take a look.

I saw a long arrow on Shi Dong's back, which had already killed him!

The prime minister pushed Shi Dong away and climbed out of the sedan, with a large pool of blood in front of his official uniform.

"Sir, are you okay?"

A man's voice was heard asking, but the man was nowhere to be seen.

The prime minister turned around and looked around, and finally saw a man squatting on top of the high wall with a crossbow in his hand.

The man didn't explain, but just said to the Prime Minister: "Your Majesty is still waiting for the Prime Minister. This place is not far from the palace wall. Please walk over."

The prime minister heard this and understood in his heart. He knew that this person must be sent by Shen Yanzhi to protect him.

Without saying anything, he cupped his hands and thanked the man, then walked towards the palace gate.

The guards at the door had received the order and knew that the prime minister was going to enter the palace. At this moment, they saw the prime minister wearing blood-stained official uniforms and walking towards him with a somewhat embarrassed expression. They all panicked.

"It's okay, just take me in."

In the imperial study, Shen Yanzhi was reading with a book in his hand, and the blue sedan stopped just outside the imperial study.

Bilan walked in with Nana carrying a food box: "Your Majesty, I am worried that your Majesty will be hungry at night, so I have prepared a bowl of almond tea. Would you like to moisten your throat?"

Just after Bi Lan put down the food box, Xiao Wu informed the Prime Minister that he had arrived and led the Prime Minister in.

Bilan couldn't avoid it, turned around and saw the prime minister's scene again, and was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Shen Yanzhi.

The prime minister had also seen Concubine Mei present, and immediately saluted and said: "I have disturbed Concubine Mei, please atone for your sins."

Shen Yanzhi said to Bi Lan, "You should go back first." Bi Lan immediately nodded hastily and hurried out without waiting for anyone to stay.

Xiao Wu sent it out and said to Bi Lan: "Don't be afraid, your Majesty. I will immediately send a few suitable people to escort your Majesty back to the palace."

Bi Lan heard this and said quickly: "No need, just stay here and take care of His Majesty. I have enough people around me."

As he spoke, he called to the people around him to carry the sedan chair and immediately urged him to leave.

When Xiao Wu saw this, he just saluted and watched Bilan leave. He saw a figure on the palace wall flickering and turned back with a smile on his face.

Shen Yanzhi has given a seat here, and the prime minister is sitting.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving my life!"

As he spoke, the prime minister was about to kneel down, but was immediately helped up by Xiao Wu.

"I was just taking precautions. I didn't know that someone would attack the prime minister. I didn't expect that it would be used."

The prime minister straightened his messed up hair with his hands, straightened his expression and said, "The person who did this was a close associate around me. It is said that someone caught my wife and children and threatened me."

Shen Yanzhi heard this and nodded: "My people are already investigating everywhere. I'm afraid the news that you are alive has spread. I'm afraid it's a little bit risky to save your wife and children."

The prime minister heard this and just sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it."

"By the way, Your Majesty, why did the imperial edict come in today and let those people kill me?"

Shen Yanzhi heard it, but didn't say anything. Instead, he said to the prime minister: "Don't worry, my beloved is frightened. Let's ask about your mood first."

After saying that, he asked people to pour water and make tea, as if he was not in a hurry after a long night.

When the prime minister saw this, he knew in his heart what news Shen Yanzhi was waiting for.

So I just rested, thinking about it in my mind, looking for people Shi Dong might come into contact with.

Following Bilan's people here, they saw that Bilan did not go to play Shufang Pavilion, but instead headed towards the main road to a remote place. From this direction, the place he went to should be the Manufacturing Bureau.

One person went back to report, and the others continued to follow.

Bilan was in the sedan but didn't notice it at all. She just ordered her subordinates: "Hurry up, haven't you eaten yet?"

After saying that, the person carrying the sedan immediately quickened his pace and made a huffing and puffing sound on the dark night road.

Shen Yanzhi was discussing things with the prime minister when he suddenly saw a man coming in to report.

"understood."

After hearing the report, Xiao Wu came over and stood in Shen Yanzhi's ear and was about to report, but Shen Yanzhi said, "No, just say it."

When Xiao Wu heard about it, he said: "Mei Fei did not return to the palace, but went to the direction of the manufacturing bureau."

When the prime minister heard this, his heart moved, and his face showed it, thinking, could it be that His Majesty just deliberately let Concubine Mei see that he was still alive, waiting for her to report to others?

After Xiao Wu went down, Shen Yanzhi didn't say anything. He raised his tea cup and said, "My dear, taste it slowly. Today's tea needs to wait for the taste to come out."

Hearing this, the prime minister stretched his body and smiled at Shen Yanzhi: "I have time today."

Sure enough, Bilan got off the sedan in front of the manufacturing bureau. She looked at no one around and ordered her subordinates: "You guys go over and stand there and come when I come out."

As he spoke, he turned his head to a confidant palace maid beside him and said, "Follow me in."

Bi Lan and the two walked into the closed manufacturing bureau.
