After Shen Luoxi walked out of the palace gate, she watched the vermilion door slowly close in front of her eyes before she turned around and got on the carriage.
Soon the carriage arrived at the palace, and Shen Luoxi jumped out before it stopped.
Xiao Yueze looked at her back and stopped Xueyu who was about to follow.
"The princess is worried about the prince. You don't have to wait and serve. It's enough for the princess to have me by her side."
Xue Yu nodded after thinking for a moment. Although Xiao Yueze had not been with Shen Luoxi for a long time, he served him very attentively. Sometimes even her, a personal maid, felt inferior to her.
"Then you serve the princess well and don't make her too anxious."
"I see."
Xiao Yueze quickly followed Shen Luoxi, made tea for her, and stood beside her to accompany her silently.
When Shen Luoxi picked up the tea cup, he noticed that Xue Yu was not there and looked up at him, "Where is Xue Yu?"
"I know that the princess will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion when the moon rises, so I don't have to wait on Xue Yu." Xiao Yueze answered truthfully.
Shen Luoxi raised his eyebrows, "You actually guessed what I was thinking."
"The prince is still in the palace. No matter it is good or bad, the princess has to find a way."
"Yes." Shen Luoxi smiled, "Fortunately, you won't betray me now, otherwise I would be really afraid that you would stab me in the back."
Her tone was light, but she spoke of heavy feelings.
When Xiao Yueze heard this, he hurriedly said: "I will never betray the princess! If the princess doesn't believe it, I can find a way to prove it!"
The usually calm person suddenly became panicked, as if not being trapped in the river was a big deal.
Shen Luoxi looked at him and sneered, "Don't be nervous. Compared with poisonous oaths and tests, I believe in seeing people's hearts over time."
Xiao Yueze calmed down after hearing this. He looked at Shen Luoxi seriously and nodded, "I will never let the princess down."
Shenluoxi was noncommittal.
When the moon was high in the sky, the two of them used Qinggong to reach the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Shen and Shen Liubai were sitting in the study, talking about recent events in the court.
"Since His Royal Highness Prince Lian was lifted from the ban, the court has become lively again." Shen Xiang said.
"After all, the emperor had high hopes for His Royal Highness Prince Lian. Although he lost his Sacred Heart because of his mistakes, it was only temporary."
Prime Minister Shen nodded, "Now that His Highness King Xuan is in decline again, there are many more people impeaching him than before."
"Should we ask Luo Xi to come back and discuss it? She is an idea person now, and she might be able to come up with some good ideas."
Shen Xiang pondered for a moment, and when he was about to answer, there was a sound from the window.
The two of them were stunned and instantly became alert.
Shen Liubai protected Shen Xiang behind him, frowned and asked sternly at the window: "Who is it?"
"Brother, it's me."
Hearing the sound of Shenluoxi, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Liubai opened the window and couldn't help but smile when he saw Shen Luoxi turning over, "Why did you leave the good door open and go through the window instead?"
"Today, Your Majesty was secretly summoned by the Emperor. It is not convenient for me to come directly." Shen Luoxi replied.
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Shen quickly asked Shen Luoxi to explain the matter clearly, and Shen Luoxi also told him the whole story in detail.
After she finished speaking, the study fell silent.
"Recently, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been impeaching His Highness Prince Xuan. If it were just some inconsequential mistakes, the Emperor would not be like this." Shen Xiang said in a deep voice: "But recently, many people are supporting His Highness the Seventh Highness, which has touched the Emperor's heart. bottom line."
"The emperor is most afraid of fighting for power. Although His Highness Prince Xuan and His Highness Seventh Prince are not close, they are both descended from Concubine Wen. It is inevitable that the Emperor will suspect what Concubine Wen wants to do."
Shen Luoxi pursed her lips. Xiang Shen was right. Now that Concubine Wen has another child, the emperor's suspicion will only become more serious.
The queen's move was really exquisite!
She raised her head and looked at Xiang Shen, "Father, I came here late at night to discuss countermeasures with him."
"When I asked to see the emperor today, the emperor's attitude was very clear. He did not want to see me, let alone let me see the prince. The top priority now is to find the key to allay the emperor's suspicion, otherwise the prince will be in danger."
Prime Minister Shen pondered, "This is not a simple matter. If you are not careful, the Emperor will only become more suspicious of His Highness King Xuan."
"Then in the future battle for crown prince, His Highness Prince Xuan will be disqualified."
Shen Luoxi watched him sigh and his eyes flickered.
Now, Prime Minister Shen has taken the initiative to tie himself and Cang Yunxuan into a boat. If the boat sinks, his role as prime minister will also come to an end.
"Luoxi, don't worry first." Shen Liubai said to ease the heavy atmosphere, "Everything has not settled yet. Let's think of a way together and we will be able to overcome the current difficulties."
He stood up and poured a glass of water for Shen Luoxi and Shen Xiang, but they just took it in silence.
Many ideas flashed through Shen Luoxi's mind, but they were all denied one by one.
She had to think carefully about this method, and then a figure flashed through her mind.
"Father, maybe we can start with His Majesty Seventh Prince." Shen Luoxi suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Xiang Shen understood what Shen Luoxi meant. He said meaningfully: "If you want to break the game, one person must give up in this game."
"I just want to harm His Highness the Seventh Prince, but I will try to persuade him." Shen Luoxi said.
When she was thinking of a solution before, she always thought about Cang Yunxuan, so she walked into a dead end.
Now that I have changed my direction, I suddenly feel enlightened.
Shen Xiang looked at her, with some admiration in his eyes, "It's good that you didn't get distracted because of your anxiety."
"Father, thank you." Shen Luoxi stood up with a smile, "Now that we have a solution, I will go to the palace to find His Highness the Seventh Prince tomorrow."
Prime Minister Shen sighed softly, "You may have to work harder before His Highness King Xuan is released from the palace."
Shen Luoxi didn't take it seriously.
She had helped Cang Yunxuan so much, but she didn't want to give up these achievements.
Soon, Shen Luoxi waited for Xiao Yueze to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. Prime Minister Shen and Shen Liubai looked at each other after watching her back disappear from sight.
"Now Luoxi can take charge of his own business." Shen Liubai said with a smile.
Shen Xiang nodded and whispered: "I owe her..."
Shen Liubai remained silent, and the study fell into silence.
…
The next day, Shen Luoxi entered the palace as usual to check for Concubine Wen's pulse, but as soon as she walked out of the courtyard, Ning Yanran suddenly appeared and stopped her.
"Sister, are you going to enter the palace?"
Shen Luoxi said lightly: "Does this have anything to do with my sister?"
Ning Yanran's face was ugly, but she still managed to put on a smile, "The prince said earlier that my sister will take me with her when she enters the palace to diagnose Concubine Wen's pulse."
"After all, this is what the prince ordered. I didn't have to ask my sister what she meant."
She looked at Shen Luoxi provocatively, but Shen Luoxi regarded her as a clown.
"Now that the prince is away, who do you think is in charge of this palace?"
