The Prime Minister began to pace back and forth in the room, thinking about countermeasures. "Besides, that mysterious man must be difficult to deal with. He was able to find the prince's hiding place, which shows that he has certain abilities and resources."

Concubine Su's eyes flashed with ferocity and determination, "Father, are we going to give up so easily?"

The Prime Minister stopped, looked at Concubine Su, and said firmly: "Of course not, but we need to plan our next move more carefully and thoroughly."

Concubine Su lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then raised her head, "Dad, I think we can first send some people to find out the actual situation around the prince, and then make a decision based on the specific situation."

The Prime Minister nodded slightly, indicating his agreement. "Well, this is a good idea. But the question is, who should we send to carry out this mission?"

Concubine Su frowned slightly, her eyes flickered, as if she was thinking about something. After a moment, she slowly said, "Dad, I think we can let Huai'er give it a try. He has always been calm and reserved, and he is also cautious in doing things. He should be able to handle this matter well. And my eldest brother trusts Huai'er very much, so I'm sure he won't object."

After hearing this, the prime minister was slightly stunned, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He knew that Huai'er was indeed a good child, but this mission was of great importance and there could be no mistakes.

However, looking at his daughter's determined eyes, he finally nodded and agreed: "Okay, then let Huai'er go."

Concubine Su looked at the Prime Minister with gratitude and said softly, "Thank you, father. I believe Huai'er will not let us down." Then, she added, "However, father, you must remind Huai'er that this mission is of vital importance and must not be taken lightly. If he encounters difficulties or dangers, he must report to us in time and we will find a way to help him."

The Prime Minister nodded and said solemnly, "Father understands. Huai'er should also go out and gain some experience. Although this mission is difficult, it is also an opportunity to train him. I hope he can live up to everyone's expectations and complete the mission successfully."

Concubine Su sighed softly, her eyes full of concern. She knew that this mission was full of unknowns and risks, and Huai'er, as the eldest son of the family, shouldered a huge responsibility. She hoped that Huai'er could return safely, and she also hoped that their family could survive this crisis.

The prime minister's face looked a little pale. He sighed softly and murmured to himself: "I hope we can be successful this time and nothing will go wrong again." He was well aware of the importance and risks of this mission and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

At the same time, the queen also learned the news that the prime minister had entered the palace.

The corner of her mouth curled up into a sneer, which showed her expectation that the Prime Minister was about to fall into her trap, as well as her confidence and control over the power struggle.

"Hmph, Prime Minister, I want to see what you will do." The queen whispered, her voice was soft, but it was full of unquestionable power. She turned her head to look at Ah Yu beside her. Her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and Ah Yu lowered her head involuntarily.

Ah Yu responded with a smile that was somewhat flattering and fawning: "Your Majesty is wise. In my opinion, this Prime Minister will definitely fall into your trap."

The queen was even more pleased when she heard this. She gently stroked the beads in her hand. Each bead seemed to dance on her fingertips, reflecting her mood at the moment. "Of course. How could he easily see through the trap I set? The more anxious he is to find a countermeasure, the more he will fall into my calculations."

Seeing this, Ah Yu quickly struck while the iron was hot: "My queen, how should we deal with this next? Do you need me to make any arrangements to ensure that the plan is foolproof?"

The queen shook her head slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "Don't rush to act. The most important thing now is to grasp their movements. You should immediately arrange for my spies in the palace to closely monitor the Prime Minister and Concubine Su's every move. Don't miss any movement, and be sure to report it to me in a timely manner."

"Also, have the spies I have arranged in the Prime Minister's Mansion continue to keep an eye on the situation and report any signs of trouble to me immediately," the Empress added.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ah Yu responded and withdrew, but secretly admired Your Majesty's foresight in her heart.

After A Yu left, the empress's eyes became deep and cold again.

The queen looked at the scenery outside the window and secretly planned her next plan. She knew that this opportunity was rare. If she could successfully overthrow the prime minister, her position in the palace and her son's position would be more stable. And Concubine Su would become a chess piece in her hands and be used to the extreme.

Thinking of this, the queen showed a sinister smile on her face. She couldn't wait to see how the prime minister got into trouble and how Concubine Su would go to ruin step by step. This palace struggle has just begun...
