The housekeeper trotted all the way to the residence of Prime Minister Su Mingyi, the second son of Prime Minister Su, and stood at the door, his hands hanging by his sides, his back straight, and shouted solemnly and respectfully: "Second Master, the Prime Minister invites you."

Su Mingyi was reading a book in the house, immersed in it. When he heard the housekeeper's voice, he slowly put down the book in his hand, stood up, straightened his clothes, and said calmly: "Got it, I'll go over right away."

The butler led the way in front, with steady but somewhat anxious steps. As he walked, he carefully turned his head to look at Su Mingyi behind him, and then lowered his voice to remind him: "Second Master, the Prime Minister seems to be in a bad mood, you have to be careful later."

Su Mingyi frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but his face remained calm. He asked in a low voice: "Do you know what it is?"

The butler also lowered his voice and answered, "It seems to be something related to the Crown Prince. I don't know the details."

As they were talking, the two had already arrived at the door of Prime Minister Su's study. The housekeeper stopped, turned around and said to Su Mingyi, "Second Young Master, please come in. I will leave first."

Su Mingyi took a deep breath to calm himself, then gently pushed the door open and walked in.

After entering the study, he saw Prime Minister Su sitting at the desk, frowning and looking serious. Su Mingyi walked up to Prime Minister Su, bowed respectfully, and then asked softly, "Father, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Prime Minister Su nodded and motioned him to sit down. Then, he handed Concubine Su's letter to him and said in a serious tone, "Please read this letter first."

Su Mingyi took the letter and read it carefully. After reading it, he frowned and pondered for a moment before speaking: "Father, in my opinion, what my sister said is not unreasonable. Now the emperor is on guard against our Su family. If we make a big move, it will arouse the emperor's vigilance. In this way, not only will we be passive, but it may even bring greater crisis to the Su family."

Prime Minister Su sighed and said worriedly, "But if we can't find the whereabouts of the prince as soon as possible, our Su family will never be able to rest in peace."

Su Mingyi understood his father's concerns, but he also knew that the current situation was very complicated. He comforted him, "Father, my sister is helpless. She is in the palace and knows the dangers. The situation is delicate now. If we are not careful, the Su family will fall into an irreparable situation. Therefore, we must act cautiously and not act hastily."

Prime Minister Su was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Forget it, let's do as she wishes for now. But we can't relax our secret investigation."

Su Mingyi said, "Father, why don't we send some more trustworthy people to investigate secretly."

Prime Minister Su nodded and said, "That's the only way. Last time I asked Huai'er to go, there was no clue at all. I think Huai'er is just concerned about the prince's brothers. You should arrange this matter. Remember, you must be careful and not let any news leak out."

Su Mingyi quickly responded, "Don't worry, father. I will make all the arrangements. But, how should we explain this to Huai'er?"

Prime Minister Su frowned and closed his eyes slightly. After thinking for a moment, he slowly opened his eyes and said with a firm look: "Don't tell him yet, lest Huai'er ruin the matter." His voice was low and serious, revealing an unquestionable determination.

Su Mingyi bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, father. I will make arrangements right away." There was a hint of determination and confidence on his face, as if he had made full preparations.

Prime Minister Su nodded slightly, waved his hand, and signaled Su Mingyi to go quickly.

Su Mingyi turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped, turned back, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and said softly: "Father, you should take care of yourself and don't worry too much about this matter." His words were full of concern and worry.

Prime Minister Su looked at Su Mingyi deeply, then sighed softly and said, "I understand, you go." There was a hint of fatigue in his tone, but more of trust and expectations for his son.

Su Mingyi nodded, turned around and left in a hurry. Prime Minister Su sat alone in the study, his brows tightly locked, his eyes staring into the distance, still worried about this series of things. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, his thoughts surging like a tide.

He knew very well that the Su family was now standing on the edge of a cliff. If they took a wrong step, they would be shattered to pieces.
