Chapter 314 Crisis
Mrs. Pei saw Pei Xuanzhi like this and immediately said, "When you were imprisoned, your father and I were at our wits' end, so we went to find Wan Ning. Wan Ning ran around everywhere for your sake, and even went to Gu's house to confront Gu Jie, which gave you a glimmer of hope."
Pei Xuanzhi sighed when he saw this, "This time I owe the Prime Minister and Wan Ning a big favor."
Madam Pei looked at Pei Xuanzhi's appearance and sobbed as she comforted him, "It's okay. If you see Wan Ning and the Prime Minister in trouble in the future, we will help them."
Pei Xuanzhi responded and accompanied Madam Pei into the inner hall.
Prime Minister's House.
Song Wanning was dealing with trivial matters in the mansion at the moment, but she saw Zhuque beside her lowering his head and speaking to her, "Madam, I heard from my subordinates that the Yin Mansion has found a way to sneak a few more mothers in. Although they are working outside, Madam has to be on guard. If Caique hadn't been keeping an eye on this matter, and if she hadn't found out that they used to work in the Yin Mansion, they would have been fooled. Now these mothers insist that they were sold over there and came here, but it's not easy to drive them away since they've already been accepted. Madam, you have to think of a way."
"Oh..." Song Wanning's voice was very low, still looking at the account book.
Seeing this, Zhuque knew that Song Wanning would not listen to anything at this moment, so he changed the topic and said, "Madam, I'm afraid the Prime Minister is coming back now. Madam, you should go to the door to take a look. You have read this account book three times, and you haven't seen Madam change it."
Song Wanning came back to her senses and said to Zhuque beside her, "Good Zhuque, you noticed my little trick. You are right. I can't concentrate on reading anyway, so I might as well go to the door to meet the Prime Minister."
As Song Wanning said this, she put the account book down, stood up and went to check at the door. She immediately saw the prime minister coming in from outside.
Song Wanning took two steps forward, grabbed Yin Yichen's hand, and said to Yin Yichen, "It's so hard to come back. How are things going?"
"It's done, Pei Xuanzhi wasn't hurt at all." Yin Yichen's face was cold, and it seemed that he was angry.
Seeing Pei Xuanzhi like this, Song Wanning just lowered her head and said, "It's secondary that he's fine, it's important that you're fine. Now that we're openly going against Gu Jie, I'm afraid we don't know what will happen in the future. Gu Jie is a narrow-minded person, and now he's targeting you, how can I not worry."
Yin Yichen lowered his head and saw Song Wanning's appearance. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her face was a little more sad than usual.
Yin Yichen's original anger had now disappeared. He whispered to Song Wanning, "Don't be afraid. I'm not that easy to deal with. We just need to wait for our people to find the magician and solve His Majesty's illusion. Then everything will be fine."
When Song Wanning heard Yin Yichen say this, her expression finally improved. She said to Yin Yichen softly, "I believe you, but we should also share the ups and downs together."
Seeing her like this, Yin Yichen put his arm around her shoulders and walked into the house.

In the palace.
Gu Jie came to the palace to meet Concubine Yu, and said with a dark face, "This Yin Yichen ruined my plan. Although the Pei family said that they would not do business with the grain road, the officials of the grain road knew what happened. Although I succeeded, I have lost my dignity now. I think he is really rampant. Even now, I don't know what trouble he will cause in the future. You must explain it to the emperor and hint to the emperor to kill him."
Upon seeing this, Concubine Yu hurried forward and pinched Gu Jie's shoulders. "Before we went out to do this, our master told us not to act rashly. Although the emperor listens to me now, if we act too arrogantly and let the people below see the clues, I'm afraid things will become more and more difficult to do in the future. Yin Yichen used to be the emperor's right-hand man. If we take action against him now, I'm afraid it will cause the court officials to be suspicious for no reason."
Gu Jie heard what Concubine Yu said, and he just lowered his head and said, "Although that's what he said, he really went too far. Even if we don't kill him, it would be better to find a crime to lock him up first, so that he won't do any bad things outside."
After hearing this, Concubine Yu said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I will naturally handle this matter and prevent him from doing anything bad. I will brainwash the emperor in a few days and make him take action against Yin Yichen. Now our lives will be better."
"When will the emperor become completely insane? I heard that he is still lucid from time to time. This is not a good sign." Gu Jie asked from the side.
Concubine Yu looked at Gu Jie and said, "The old emperor is like this only rarely, and we can't provoke him. I'm afraid it will take another two months for him to completely faint. By then, this world will not be ours."
"It's too early to say that." Gu Jie said with a dark face, "The late emperor forced my mother to leave the palace while she was pregnant with me, and also executed my family members. Now he is dead, so I can't return to my own ancestral temple. But his son is still alive, and the blood feud of the late queen mother must be avenged."
"Your Highness is right. We have been planning for so many years. It is finally time for us to make our appearance." Concubine Yu smiled and said, "It won't be long before we kill these enemies one by one."
Seeing this, Gu Jie finally felt better. He looked at Concubine Yu and said, "I'll leave the Prime Minister's affairs to you. I'm leaving the palace first. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will attract attention."
"I understand." Concubine Yu arranged for Gu Jie to leave the palace, then dressed up and took her zither to the emperor's palace.
When the emperor saw Concubine Yu, his expression immediately relaxed. He looked at her and said, "Concubine Yu, I was just about to send someone to call you. My headache has come back. Only by listening to your music can I feel better. Please play the piano for me."
"I understand, Your Majesty. I will play a song right now to put Your Majesty at ease." Concubine Yu said as she knelt on the ground and began to play the piano.
As the music of the piano flowed, the emperor beside him closed his eyes and looked as if he was enjoying it.
Concubine Yu said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister who came to the palace recently has always been against my brother. My brother has been wronged. Your Majesty, please take charge of my brother."
The emperor chuckled when he heard this. "He is just like that. Tell your brother not to take it personally."
Yu Meiren continued playing the zither, "I think the Prime Minister may have second thoughts, otherwise why would he be like this?"
