The Cold-Faced God of War's Favored Concubine Is Not to Be Tried

The Queen's voice was filled with an authority that could not be ignored. She said to her personal maid Xiuyun, "Xiuyun, go and ask the Crown Prince to come over."

Xiuyun was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the Queen's intention. She lowered her head respectfully and replied softly: "Yes, Your Majesty." Although her voice was low, it revealed great firmness and loyalty.

Xiuyun is the Queen's personal maid. She has been with the Queen since she was a child, and the two are like sisters. She knows the Queen's personality and preferences very well, and knows that every decision made by the Queen is full of deep meaning. Therefore, although she is a little confused about the Queen's decision, she does not ask too much, but just silently executes the Queen's orders.

She walked out of the palace lightly, crossed the corridor, and came to the prince's palace. After the announcement, the prince soon learned of the queen's summons.

Not long after, the prince came in from outside following Xiuyun.

When the queen saw the prince coming, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in her eyes. She smiled and said to the prince, "You are here." Her voice was full of motherly tenderness and expectation.

The prince bowed respectfully and sat down at the seat designated by the queen. The queen began to discuss important matters with the prince, while Xiuyun stood quietly by, paying attention to the queen's needs and ready to serve her at any time. When the prince walked into the queen's palace, he noticed the serious expression on the queen's face, which made him immediately realize that there would be important matters to discuss. The queen did not speak immediately, but motioned the prince to sit down, and then gently said to her personal maid Xiuyun: "You should leave first! I have something to discuss with the prince."

Xiuyun bowed slightly, then quietly left the room and closed the door gently.

The queen took a deep breath and then said, "Prince, do you know that the Prime Minister's Mansion caught fire last night?"

The prince nodded and replied, "Yes, mother. I have heard about it. Although there were no casualties, the most severe fire was in Zuixianlou and several places that were very important to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The queen nodded, and then said, "Yes, this is a very serious matter. We need to find out who did it. You should go to the Prime Minister's residence tonight to discuss this matter with the Prime Minister and see if you can get some clues from him."

The prince frowned, thought for a moment, and then replied, "Okay, mother. I will go."

The queen was silent for a while, then said: "No one outside knows that the place where the fire started is the Prime Minister's Mansion. You must be careful not to let anyone with ulterior motives find out that you went to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The prince nodded, showing his understanding. He knew the queen's worries and considerations. He decided to secretly discuss the matter with the prime minister at night, hoping to find out the truth as soon as possible.

As soon as night fell, the prince could not wait to change into light casual clothes to avoid attracting unnecessary attention. He knew the importance of the matter and decided to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person to discuss the fire with the Prime Minister face to face.

He walked through the palace corridor, avoided the sight of the palace servants, and quietly slipped out from the back door. Outside the palace wall, he rode a black horse, which he specially selected because it was almost invisible in the night and could help him reach the Prime Minister's Mansion more quickly.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is located in the center of the capital. Although it is brightly lit, the prince still chose a more secluded path to ensure the privacy of the conversation. He galloped along the path.

After arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the prince did not go directly to the main gate, but went around to the backyard. He climbed over the wall quietly and then quickly hid in a hidden corner to observe the movements in the mansion.

The backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion was quiet, with only a few patrolling guards walking around. The prince took the opportunity to bypass them and came to the Prime Minister's study. He knocked on the door gently, then quickly stepped aside, waiting for the Prime Minister's response.

After a while, the door of the study slowly opened, and the prime minister appeared at the door. He looked a little surprised, but soon regained his composure and invited the prince into the study.

Feng Yanan's side. As the night deepened, Feng Yanan felt an inexplicable sense of urgency. She found Xiaohong and asked her not to disturb her on the pretext of sleeping. Although Xiaohong was a little confused, she nodded obediently and agreed to Feng Yanan's request.

Feng Yanan returned to the room, gently closed the door, and quickly locked it. She knew that she needed to be extremely careful in the next action and could not make any mistakes. She quickly took off her daily clothes and changed into a black nightgown, which made her more difficult to detect in the night.

That's right. He was going to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight to find out what was going on.

Then she moved her mind, a glimmer of light flashed, and the little fox jumped out of the space. The little fox looked smart and cute, waving its tail excitedly.

"Little fox, we are going to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Feng Yanan said softly, and the little fox nodded, "Okay, okay, we can go out and play again."

Feng Yanan opened the window and climbed out carefully. She and the little fox quickly crossed the street, avoiding patrolling soldiers and passers-by. They came to the vicinity of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Feng Yanan carefully observed the surrounding environment.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was completely silent, with only the occasional footsteps of patrolling guards. Feng Yanan and Little Fox hid in the dark.
