"Master, the young lady..." Xiaoqiu didn't know how to answer.

"I'm here." Leng Yan'an walked over with the prime minister.

"Just now, Xiaoqiu and I got separated. When I heard that Daddy was injured, I was very worried, so I went to Daddy's villa."

Just now Leng Yan'an wanted to go back to the front hall, but found that the backyard was blocked. After thinking for a while, he went to the Prime Minister's villa.

Pretending to be very concerned about the Prime Minister's injury, Leng Yan'an always behaved very well in front of the Prime Minister, so he did not suspect anything.

Later, he heard from the servants that Leng Ruoyan had died of poisoning and Leng Ruoqing was in a coma, so he supported the prime minister and came together.

"Master - Master - you must help Yan'er to get revenge -"

When Song Yuyin heard that the Prime Minister had arrived, she ran out crying again, "It must be those assassins who killed Yan'er—"

"Yin'er, don't worry, I will." The Prime Minister was heartbroken when he saw Song Yuyin crying, and he hurried to comfort her.

"Is Leng Ruoyan really dead? Who did it? It can't be them, I was following them just now." Leng Yan'an thought secretly.

The prime minister went to see Leng Ruoyan's body, and then visited Leng Ruoqing who had just woken up.

When Song Yuyin saw Leng Ruoqing wake up, she quickly held her and said nervously, "Qing'er, are you still feeling uncomfortable? What happened just now?"

"Mom, I'm fine. Why am I here?" Leng Ruoqing was a little confused when she saw so many people standing beside the bed.

"Didn't I just teach Leng Ruozhen a lesson with my third sister? Why are you lying here?"

"Qing'er, did you see clearly who killed Yan'er?" the prime minister suddenly asked.

Leng Ruoqing asked doubtfully, "Daddy, why are you killing me? What happened to my third sister?"

"Since we haven't seen the murderer, Qing'er, you should have a good rest. Dad will come to see you when he has time."

Then, the Prime Minister said to Leng Qingfeng who was standing beside him, "Feng'er, wait until Leng Ruozhen wakes up before asking again."

"it is good."

Backyard Plum Garden

Yan Sheng came out of the secret passage and set up a formation at the entrance to be on the safe side.

There were guards searching every corner of the backyard, as well as some people from the Wufeng Sect. Based on his understanding of An Xue, that girl should have returned to the Blood Bamboo Palace to ask for help, so he had to leave the house first to meet up with her.

Yan Sheng avoided the guards' pursuit, quietly changed into a guard's clothes, and went to the front hall.

Several ministers in the front hall were sitting on edge, their own guards were blocked outside the palace and could not enter, so they were angry but dared not say anything.

Although the assassins had gone to the backyard and there was no danger in the front hall for the time being, the prime minister asked them to stay in the prime minister's mansion for the time being in order to protect their safety, as the assassins had not been caught yet.

There were fewer guards in the front hall than in the backyard. Most of the guards were transferred to the backyard to search, so Yan Sheng easily got out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Looking at the roof where he and Anxue had been lying before, he found that Anxue was wearing archer's clothes, holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and talking to several archers next to him.

Taking a closer look, Yu Nian? A member of the Blood Bamboo Hall?

Yan Sheng threw a stone at An Xue, who turned around with her bow and arrow in hand. She was about to curse when she saw that it was her master. "My Lord?"

Yu Nian also put down the dagger and asked worriedly, "My Lord, are you okay?"

"It's okay, let's get out of here first."

Several people came to an inn where the Blood Bamboo Hall was collecting intelligence and went to a private room.

After An Xue confirmed that Yan Sheng was not injured, she said, "My Lord, I went to find Chief Yu and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I heard that you went to the backyard and were discussing how to kill your way in. Then you appeared—"

"You, I knew that you would go back to find A Yu." Yan Sheng said helplessly.

"They are fine. They are in the secret passage in the Prime Minister's backyard. They are safe. There are more than just these few people coming from the Blood Bamboo Palace, right?"

An Xue curled her lips and said, "All the people from the nearest branch are here. The others are still on their way. Some are on missions outside and haven't received any news yet. An Feng went to notify them—"

"You made such a big noise that someone who didn't know would think your master was dead."

Yan Sheng said, "The plan has changed. I fought with the Prime Minister and found that he is a member of the Wufeng Sect. He should be a high-ranking member of the Wufeng Sect. Ah Yu, you take the members of the Blood Bamboo Hall to withdraw first. Let them do their respective duties and avoid conflicts with the Wufeng Sect for the time being."

"Yes, my lord." Yu Nian realized the seriousness of the matter as soon as he thought about it.

The fake prime minister is a member of the Wufeng Sect. It seems that the assassination back then was an organized conspiracy. The current strength of the Blood Bamboo Palace is indeed not enough to fight against the Wufeng Sect.

Yu Nian quickly led the members of the branch hall to retreat. Yan Sheng took a sip of tea and said, "An Xue, you and An Feng go investigate the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Wu Feng Sect. Remember not to reveal your identity."

"Yes, but if my subordinates leave, there will be no one to protect the Lord—" An Xue said with her head down.
