My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

The illustrious Prime Minister's Mansion has produced three generations of prime ministers so far.

Forty years ago, after Prime Minister Mei’s grandfather became the prime minister, all the men in the Mei family became prime ministers based on their own abilities and have always been highly regarded by the emperor.

Because the Mei family has always been loyal to the king, never overstepped the line, and never formed cliques.

The Mei family's family style is also praised by people.

Over the years, countless people with various purposes have come to this aristocratic family, hoping to become its guests, but successive Prime Minister Mei has turned them away.

They only follow literature, not military affairs, and have no connection with the military. The king is their heaven.

This is the Mei family's family motto, and also the Mei family's way of protecting themselves.

Looking at the entire court, there are only a handful of such pure ministers.

However, the Mei family, which has always been innocent, unexpectedly produced an outlier.

Mei Xueer is this outlier.

It really ruined the Mei family's reputation to the extreme.

Although she was eager to marry the prince, fortunately, she had been known as a fool and a nymphomaniac since she was a child, so no one would think that this was a signal that Prime Minister Mei wanted to surrender to the prince.

Until the emperor granted marriage and made Mei Qianyue, the concubine of the Mei family, the principal wife of Prince Xiaoqin.

This really tipped the balance of the scales.

One of the Mei family mottos was to only pursue literary studies and not military service, and they also did not allow their daughters to marry military commanders, in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion.

Cui Hongxiao is the most powerful and prestigious military general in the court!

But, this was a marriage arranged by the emperor.

Therefore, there have been undercurrents in the court during this period of time.

I don’t know what the emperor is talking about and what its meaning is.

Although Cui Hongxiao strongly opposed this marriage, his opposition was ineffective.

Prime Minister Mei understood Cui Qimo's intention.

If the scale is unbalanced, either add some weight to the other side, or give up something on this side.

I'm afraid that the position of Prime Minister is coming to an end for the Mei family. He began to think about resigning.

However, before that, he had to settle his family.

The snow has stopped.

Mei Xueer stood in front of the gate of the prime minister's residence, feeling mixed emotions as she thought about the Mei family's glorious past.

The Prime Minister's Mansion was not greatly affected by today's riots, so she was relieved.

"Princess!" Wen Jia had just arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion when he saw Mei Xueer getting out of the car. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was not injured.

"Princess, I took your token and went straight to the eunuch Li who was beside the emperor. When Eunuch Li heard that it was the princess who ordered me to enter the palace, he immediately took me to see the emperor."

Mei Xueer patted his shoulder and said, "Well, you did a great job!"

Wen Jia smiled happily from the bottom of his heart - it turns out that I am not a defective product, I played a significant role this time. I am a qualified secret guard.

Wait, secret guard?

I went to the palace to see the emperor openly, so am I still a secret guard?

Gradually, the expression on his face froze. He looked back for a moment, "Where are Xiao Wu and Xiao Ding?"

Wen Yi said quickly: "Brother, you don't know how critical the situation was. The princess and I were about to run to the palace, but we didn't expect that there was another fire nearby. You didn't see it. The fire was even bigger than the fire in the coffin shop before. It was simply..."

"They were separated by the crowd. Jiao Jia is leading people to look for them. They will meet up at the Prime Minister's residence after they find them." Wen Bing interrupted him directly.

Wen Yi looked at Wen Bing with hurt eyes, expressing his strong dissatisfaction.

Wen Bing made a face at him.

"Okay, let's go in first." Mei Xueer let out a long sigh, "Finally, I'm home..."

As soon as I raised my foot, an excited voice came from behind me.

Everyone turned around and saw Wen Wu driving a carriage towards them, with the excitement of surviving a disaster on his face: "I thought I would never see you again, wuwu..."

Originally, when their carriage was dispersed by the crowd, it was also frightened, and Wen Wu immediately untied the reins.

He also knew that the frightened horse might hurt people, but he didn't care about that. Wen Ding was seriously injured and could only lie down, so he had to ensure that the carriage was intact.

Then, Wen Wu put the rope around his shoulders and pulled the carriage into a remote alley with his own strength. This is how he escaped the disaster.

After the commotion was over, he wanted to find a horse, but he was worried about leaving Winding alone in the alley.

Just when he was getting anxious, Jiao Jia found him and found a horse to rush back.

Seeing that everyone was safe and sound without any missing limbs, Mei Xueer felt relieved.

Jiao Jia also left with peace of mind.

Mei Xueer asked Nanxing to knock on the door.

Upon learning that Mei Xueer had returned, the first person to rush out to greet her was Shen.

"It's so chaotic outside today. I hope nothing happened to you!" When Shen saw her, her eyes turned red and she pulled her to look left and right.

"Mom, I'm fine. I'm back now."

Shen then said, "I heard that you and Prince Jing divorced. How come you didn't tell your family about such a big thing? You hid for more than twenty days and didn't send any news back. If anything happened to you..." She held Mei Xueer's hand and refused to let go, tears in her eyes.

Mei Xueer was touched, "Mom, I'm fine, right? It's just that I may have to come home and stay for a while, which will make things difficult for you."

"Don't make it difficult, don't make it difficult, come in quickly, and talk inside first. This is your eternal home, even if you live here for the rest of your life, it's all right. Your old yard has always been reserved for you. By the way, your father and your eldest brother were summoned to the palace by the emperor early in the morning, and they haven't returned yet."

Mei Xueer nodded. Such a big thing happened today. Her father and elder brother were both court officials, so it was impossible for them to stay at home.

Mei Xueer's former courtyard was called Jixuexuan. After Mei Xueer got married, someone had been cleaning it.

Shen knew what kind of person her daughter was, so she was always prepared to have her daughter divorced and sent home.

"Oh, mother, these are the servants who served me in the palace before. From now on, they will live with me in Jixuexuan. A, come and meet the Madam."

Wen Jia really wanted to say, "Princess, we are not servants, we are secret guards," but when he thought about the fact that he was not sure whether he was a qualified secret guard, he could not say it.

"Thank you for taking care of Xue'er!" Shen nodded slightly at them.

"Mother, that bitch was divorced, and she still has the nerve to come back?" Mei Zhihua, who was hiding in the corner, looked at Mei Xueer with hatred that made her heart bleed, and said viciously.

Li pulled her behind her and said, "Even if she is divorced, she is still the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family. Your father still dotes on this shameless woman. You and I need to be more careful in the future. If things go wrong, both of us will have no chance of survival."

"Hmph, you're afraid of her, but I'm not!" Mei Zhihua looked at Li, who had no fighting power left, and frowned in disdain. "Look at that bitch. There are several filthy and weird creatures following her. One is half-dead, and one looks dead. Hmph, it's obvious that she was driven out of the palace. There are also rumors that she was divorced by amicable marriage. In my opinion, Prince Jing saw that the crown prince had lost power and no longer cared about anything, so he just divorced her."

Li was so scared that she quickly covered her mouth, "How dare you mention the prince?"

Mei Zhihua pushed Li's hand away and said, "What's the matter? Didn't the Emperor and my father do anything to me? Why are you so timid now?"

The brainless Li looked at her even brainier daughter and her IQ was online for once. "The emperor didn't classify you and me as the prince's accomplices because he knew you were targeting that little bitch and Prince Jing. Fortunately, you still have your father's face. Otherwise, if he put a hat on us and said that the prime minister's mansion had already surrendered to the prince, would you and I still have a chance to survive?"

"Okay, I get it!" Mei Zhihua walked away impatiently.
