When Yan Lingshan heard this, the expectant smile on her face instantly solidified, and she couldn't help but ask:
"Prime Minister Su, what are you doing?"
"I understand your purpose of coming, and I also know Yan Lichu's current situation."
Su Ye's eyes were blazing and his tone was firm.
"But at this moment, I cannot agree to your request."
Yan Lingshan was stunned and deeply surprised:
"Why?"
"I have my own plans."
Su Ye looked serious and his tone was unquestionable.
Yan Lingshan was silent for a moment, but finally couldn't help but said:
"Please, Prime Minister, please think twice."
Yan Lingshan couldn't help feeling helpless.
Your Majesty single-handedly fought against all the opinions for Su Ye, but he couldn't get any compromise from Su Ye.
She knew that Su Ye had always been a thoughtful and decisive person, and it was difficult for his decisions to be influenced by others.
So, she lowered her head sadly, bowed, and said, "In that case, Yan Lingshan takes her leave."
Looking at Yan Lingshan's leaving figure, Su Ye's deep eyes flashed with a hint of complexity.
His plan must not be leaked.
Not even Yan Lingshan.
Yan Lingshan failed to get the answer she wanted. Frustrated, she actually let down her guard.
In the darkness, her whereabouts were quietly discovered.
Soon, the news leaked out and reached the ears of interested people.
"Sir, I found Yan Lingshan walking out of Su Ye's mansion."
In the extremely luxurious residence of the Assistant Minister, Chen Mu was summoning several of his confidants to discuss how to get rid of Su Ye.
Yan Lichu led the ministers to welcome Su Ye's return, and even tried to grant Ganquan Palace to Su Ye.
Each of these incidents challenged his authority and made him feel intolerable.
Now, when he learned that Yan Lingshan came out of Su Ye's mansion, a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.
"Yan Lingshan's trip must be for the instructions of the empress Yan Lichu."
Chen Mu sneered.
"She failed to get any useful information from Su Ye. It seems that we only need a little layout to put Su Ye into trouble."
Chen Mu's confidants nodded one after another, with sinister glints in their eyes.
They knew that once Su Ye was in trouble, Yan Lichu would not be able to stay out of it.
At that time, they can take the opportunity to take control of the government and re-establish their authority.
Killing two birds with one stone, he not only eliminated Su Ye, but also made the empress fearful of the family's power again.
"How about we arrange the Royal Autumn Hunting in a few days."
Wei Changfeng thought for a moment and took the lead in raising the question.
All the confidants nodded:
"Yes, the autumn hunt is the most solemn feast of the year in Dayan. His Majesty personally hosts it and the ministers celebrate together. It is a good time for us to make arrangements."
"The Prime Minister must not miss such an occasion."
A cold light flashed in Chen Mu's eyes and he said in a deep voice:
"But there are all-pervasive Jin Yiwei around Su Ye."
After saying that, he looked around, as if he was not safe even in his own home.
The strength of the Jin Yiwei that Su Ye showed when he first arrived at Dayan was too terrifying.
So much so that all the big families in Dayan have psychological shadows.
"There is no need to worry about this."
Commander Zhao, one of Chen Mu's confidants, smiled.
"I have a plan to prevent Su Ye's Jin Yiwei from displaying their strength on the hunting ground."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they all looked at Commander Zhao, waiting for his next plan.
Commander Zhao cleared his throat and said:
"Since Su Ye and His Majesty have become a community, let's design a plan to separate them. Su Ye will definitely allocate part of his manpower to protect the empress, and his strength will be greatly reduced."
"Great idea!" Chen Mu exclaimed.
"Whether Su Ye or the Empress is assassinated, it will be of great benefit to us."
Wei Changfeng was still not reassured.
"No one knows how many soldiers there are in Su Ye. Although this plan is good, it is still full of loopholes."
But Commander Zhao lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing something, and said:
"No matter how strong the Jin Yiwei is, they can't be stronger than the people of Jianghu. I wonder if all of you, sir, have heard of Wentian Tower?"
When Chen Mu and others heard this, they all looked puzzled.
Wentianlou? Isn't that a mysterious organization in the world? Can they still interfere in court affairs?
Commander Zhao saw everyone's doubts and smiled:
"Don't worry, everyone, although Wentian Tower is mysterious, as long as we are willing to pay a sufficient price, they will naturally be used by us."
"Hmph, how dare you interfere in the political affairs of our country, even if you are a reckless person?"
Wei Changfeng sneered dissatisfiedly.
But thinking about the mystery and power of Wentian Tower, he hesitated and said:
"It's just, how do we make sure they can complete their mission and not threaten us in turn?"
A cold light flashed in Commander Zhao's eyes and he said:
"This requires us to design a seamless plan, and at the same time, the people in Wentian Tower will also get considerable benefits."
After hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought.
Everyone present is not short of petty profit-making people.
In order to get rid of Su Ye, no matter how heavy the price was, they were willing to risk it.
Chen Mu's eyes flashed with a trace of evil, and he said:
"In this case, even if Su Ye is protected by the Jinyi Guards, he will not be able to escape death."
Wei Changfeng smiled and said:
"No matter what, I want to see that dazzling white clothes dyed red with blood."
Everyone had sinister smiles on their faces and began to arrange the matter.
What they don't know is that the owner of Wentian Tower is the person they want to kill!
At the same time, Yan Lichu was also paying close attention to Su Ye's every move.
Yan Lingshan reported to Yan Lichu that Su Ye did not directly answer her request for help.
When Yan Lichu heard this, her expression changed slightly. She held the teacup in her hand tightly and thought about countermeasures.
"Your Majesty, we must take action as soon as possible."
Yan Lingshan said anxiously.
Yan Lichu paced back and forth in the palace, his worry palpable.
Yan Lichu stopped, took a deep breath, and looked firmly:
"No need, I believe Prime Minister Su."
Although she couldn't understand why Su Ye refused to help Yan Lingshan, her trust in Su Ye had never wavered.
She believed that Su Ye must have his own considerations.
Hearing this, Yan Lingshan couldn't help but frown.
She was well aware of Yan Lichu's trust in Su Ye, but she was also worried that Su Ye's insistence on going his own way would lead to danger.
On the other side, Su Ye is also paying close attention to the movements of Chen Mu's group.
He had already seen through Chen Mu's ambition towards Yan Lichu, and was also aware of their attempt to frame him.
He sneered, already having a countermeasure in mind.
The date for the royal autumn hunt is approaching.
Above the court, an undercurrent surged.
Su Ye, on the other hand, seemed not to notice it and was still busy dealing with government affairs every day, as if everything was under his control.
A few days later, the royal autumn hunt was held as scheduled.
In this hunting, not only Yan Lichu and Prime Minister Su Ye were present, but also ministers and children of aristocratic families participated.
This grand hunting feast attracted the attention of countless people.
On the royal autumn hunting grounds, colorful flags flutter and bugles sound.
The ministers, dressed in costumes, surrounded Yan Lichu and enjoyed the wonderful performance on the hunting ground.
Yan Lichu smiled and chatted with Su Ye in a low voice from time to time, appearing quite happy.
Chen Mu and others looked gloomy as they secretly observed Su Ye's movements, looking for an opportunity to strike.
