Chapter 444: Back to the Prime Minister's Mansion

Tianquan ignored Tianji's sarcasm and said while staring at Zhou An's carriage from afar.

"Have you found out where the prince is?"

When Tianji heard this question, he was instantly decisive.

"The palace is well-defended, and our people have never seen the prince. Despite this, there is one place where no one is allowed to enter and exit since the prince disappeared."

“Where?”

"Youzhuxuan."

Tianji spoke very quickly, and he spit out like a cannon.

"There was no one living there before because it was too remote. Now there are many more guards overnight. It's very unusual."

Tianquan said "um", but his eyebrows gradually pulled up.

"What, is it wrong?"

"I just think it's so obvious, it's like I'm deliberately letting us know."

Tianji said "hmm".

"Then do you think the prince is not there?"

The two sayings about whether they are traps or not, the most important thing for them now is to know where the prince is.

"That's not necessarily."

Tianquan blinked.

"False and real, true and false, Fei Qing likes to play this game the most. He secretly transferred some of us in the palace to take advantage of emergencies. And..."

The carriage in the distance had already entered the gate of the Ministry of Justice, so Zhou An should not have anything to do.

"We don't do anything to do anything wrong. Even if the emperor has done any trap for us, it doesn't matter, as long as..."

His voice suddenly became much smaller, as if he was about to pass by the wind.

But Tian Ji still heard it clearly.

"As long as the prince doesn't want to."

Tian Ji didn't say anything after hearing this, but just blew an inappropriate whistle to the rising sun that had already risen in the sky.

Where the sun has not yet fully shined, undercurrents are surging.

After Zhou An left, Shangguan Li did not climb over the wall and went out to the pharmacy. She called Zhang Lei to prepare the carriage and went to the Prime Minister's Mansion openly.

After a short while walking, I arrived at the long street outside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In the past, it was very lively in the early morning or at night. However, since the accident happened in the prime minister's house, people nearby probably were afraid of being implicated by accident, and many people left overnight.

It looks much deserted.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the alley.

"Princess, no, don't you need to send you in?" Zhang Lei asked while stopping the carriage.

Shangguan Li got off the carriage with a faint expression.

"No, I'll walk over by myself. You don't have to wait here anymore, go back first."

Although Zhang Lei was a little worried, he didn't say a word, just nodded and returned along the same path.

After he left, Shangguan Li walked towards the prime minister's mansion, which occupied a street.

The emperor ordered the sealing of the Prime Minister's Mansion, of course, not just verbal talk. There were a row of tall and powerful imperial guards standing outside the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion. If there was no emperor's order, no one would be able to enter.

Shangguan Li was discovered as soon as she walked over.

"Stop, the important place of the court, no one is involved, and you can retreat quickly!"

She turned a deaf ear and walked straight to the imperial guards.

"Stop, don't blame us for being polite!"

Seeing that the long sword in the imperial guards had been put out, Shangguan Li flipped his wrist and took out the token given by the emperor.

Logically speaking, this token can only be used for unobstructed operation in the Ministry of Justice, but she probably thought that the emperor would not have thought that she would come to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time.

Therefore, the imperial guards in the prime minister's mansion probably don't know about this.

Sure enough, as soon as the token came out, the leading imperial guard's face changed suddenly.

"It turned out to be His Majesty's will. I am abrupt. Please forgive me for your sins."

Shangguan Li waved his hand.

"It's okay, I'll go in and take a look."

"this……"

The leading imperial guard showed a hesitant look on his face.

Shangguan Li frowned.

"Why, you want to stop me?"

"I dare not, but the people in the prime minister's mansion recently don't know what's wrong. They all suffered from a strange disease. The imperial physician visited him and said it might be...ahoh!"

Halfway through his words, someone suddenly knocked him in the head.

"Who, who...the commander."

A man with a dignified appearance and a tall figure walked out from behind him.

Seeing him, the imperial guard immediately lowered his head.

The commander glared at him, then turned to Shangguan Li, and bowed.

"The princess came here at this time. I guess she had learned about the situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Your Majesty asked you to come here specifically?"

Actually not.

Shangguan Li said something in his heart.

But he was very calm on his face.

"Do you know me?" "Well, I was lucky enough to meet me when I was on duty in the palace."

The commander's expression was a little insignificantly awkward.

It can't be said that although this picture has faded a little, it still looks extremely conspicuous, right?

Shangguan Li didn't say anything, so the commander had to give up the way.

"Since the princess is here, there must be a way for those people inside to have a condition."

She walked forward two steps and stopped again when she heard this sentence. She turned her head and made a sharp curve with her slender eyebrows, which made people frightened for no reason.

"That's what you think? What if the situation inside becomes more serious after I go in?"

The commander's eyebrows thumped and felt the strong sense of danger in her words.

He had also heard of the relationship between the princess and the prime minister's mansion. If she hadn't held the emperor's token in her hand, she would have never dared to let her in.

Only after calming down did he say that.

"Well, the princess is joking. Since Your Majesty has agreed, the princess must know the right position."

Shangguan Li smiled lightly without comment, then walked into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion without saying anything.

Speaking of which, the last time she left here, she secretly went out with Xuanyuan Ye at night. Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, but her situation was very different from that time.

The interior of the Prime Minister's Mansion was much deserted. Shangguan Li walked in for a long time and saw him alone. Some leaves fell from the gravel path that was usually cleaned.

Apart from this, there has not been much change. It is probably because Shangguan Xun’s accident has not been long.

After passing through the Mingtang, she finally saw the first living person in the prime minister's mansion.

It seemed like a maid, and she walked over with a large bucket of water.

It was probably too heavy. Her whole body and mind were focused on the wooden barrel in her hand, and she didn't notice that there was a large stone on the road.

I immediately lost my balance when I stepped on it.

"ah!"

Seeing that the little maid was about to fall to the ground with a bucket, she suddenly stretched out her hands, one blocked the little maid's waist, and the other hand steadily caught the wooden bucket, without even a drop of water leaking out.

The little maid was still in shock, and she felt a faint fragrance of medicine coming from the tip of her nose. Before she could react, her hand on her waist exerted a little force and straightened her body.

As soon as she stood firm, her hand retreated.
