The prime minister hurried into the palace, his steps were a little hurried, as if he had something important to report to the imperial concubine. There was a trace of joy on his face that was difficult to conceal, but when he stepped into the harem and saw the imperial concubine's panic-stricken look, the uneasiness in his heart surged like a tide.

"Your Majesty, I wonder what happened to make you so panicked?" The Prime Minister hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern.

The imperial concubine took a deep breath, trying to calm her inner panic, and then conveyed the emperor's words to the prime minister word for word. After the prime minister heard it, his face instantly became solemn. He never thought that the emperor was so well-informed and learned so quickly that they had sent people to hunt down the prince.

"Since the emperor already knows about this, we must suspend all actions now." The prime minister frowned and said in a heavy tone.

The imperial concubine nodded slightly to show her agreement, with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Father, how should we deal with this next?"

The Prime Minister pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The only plan now is to stabilize the situation and wait for the right opportunity. We must be careful and cautious and must not let the emperor notice that we are unusual."

The imperial concubine sighed anxiously, "Alas, what father said is absolutely right. But as long as this prince is not removed, I will never have peace."

The Prime Minister consoled her, "Don't worry, your Majesty. This matter still needs to be considered over a long period of time. We might as well use this time to make a good plan and find a foolproof plan."

The two men discussed for a long time and finally decided to hold off for the time being, closely monitor the emperor's movements, and then make plans.

After a while, the palace seemed calm on the surface, but undercurrents were surging. The imperial concubine and the prime minister kept an eye on the emperor's every move, and were also secretly looking for an opportunity to get rid of the prince.

One day, the imperial concubine received a mysterious letter. When she opened the envelope with trembling hands, the contents inside made her dumbfounded, as if she was struck by thunder.

It turned out that the letter actually listed in detail all the evidence of their conspiracy to murder the prince! The imperial concubine's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead. She stared at these words with wide eyes, unbelievable, and an unprecedented fear and uneasiness surged in her heart.

She was extremely anxious and told the prime minister about it without hesitation.

The prime minister took the letter and read it carefully. A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He frowned and muttered to himself: "Who is this person? Why does he know our plan so well?"

The imperial concubine burst into tears, her body trembling slightly, and she said in a choked voice: "Now the handle has fallen into the hands of others. If we don't agree to his conditions, I'm afraid both of us will lose our lives!"

The prime minister fell into deep thought. He closed his eyes and silently thought about how to deal with it. Time passed by minute by minute. Finally, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Now that things have come to this, we can only deal with them as they come. But before that, we must first figure out the other party's true identity and purpose."

Therefore, the imperial concubine and the prime minister decided to temporarily put aside their differences, pretend to cooperate with each other's requests, and start a thrilling contest of wits with this mysterious man. They knew that this was not only a game of life and death, but also a desperate fight for fate.

However, they didn't know that this palace struggle had just begun, and the road ahead was destined to be full of countless difficulties, obstacles and unknown challenges... In this ever-changing palace world, every decision could trigger a chain reaction, and the slightest mistake would lead to eternal damnation.
