Yan Sheng knocked on An Xue's head, "Who can you protect with your limited skills? Besides, your master is not that weak. If you agree to go to the teahouse together, I can only take you next time."

"That's right, my lord is the most powerful. Okay, then I'll leave first." An Xue said with a smile.

"Yeah." Yan Sheng looked out the window. The sky was getting dark. The archers outside the Prime Minister's Mansion had already withdrawn, and several ministers had also returned to their respective residences.

It seemed that it was the person in the palace who took action. Since ancient times, the prime minister was afraid that the emperor would become suspicious and could only let them return home.

Prime Minister's Mansion Study

"Father, we've searched every courtyard several times, but couldn't find any trace of them. It's as if they disappeared out of thin air." Leng Qingfeng said with some confusion.

"The account book is still in your house. I have used the Wufeng Sect's unique tracking technique on the account book. The last location shown was in the southeast direction of your house. There has been no display since then. You should personally take the guards to the southeast and search carefully again. Don't miss any corner." The prime minister wrote and drew on the paper.

"Tracking skills? The father is very foresighted and the son admires him."

Leng Qingfeng's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of viciousness, and he said, "Southeast? It's the yard of Leng Yan'an and Aunt Wu. Father, could today's incident be related to Leng Yan'an?"

The prime minister said disdainfully, "Her? A maid who replaced my young lady's identity for the sake of fame and wealth, she can't make any waves. If I didn't know she was a fake, why would I keep her? Since the courtyard where Wu Yu and Leng Yan'an live is in the southeast direction, we should focus on searching it."

"Father said so."

"Strengthen the guards in the palace, and search anyone or anything that enters or leaves," the prime minister handed the written letter to Leng Qingfeng and said, "Also, send someone to deliver this letter to Wufeng Sect as soon as possible. The poison in Yan'er is not ordinary, and it may be a breakthrough."

Leng Qingfeng took the letter and replied, "Yes, I have handed it over to Wufeng Sect for investigation."

"Well, go search." The Prime Minister waved his hand tiredly.

Plum Courtyard of Prime Minister's Mansion

"Xiao Qiu, do you feel that Leng Ruoyan's symptoms of poisoning are familiar?" Leng Yan'an asked after returning to Plum Courtyard.

Xiao Qiu thought about it carefully and said, "Miss, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have noticed it. It looks very similar to the poison that Pavilion Master Wei used on the medicine man last time."

"Yes, could Leng Ruoyan's death be related to him? I don't want to think about it anymore. The Wei Pavilion incident has nothing to do with me. I almost forgot about Dong'er and the masked man in black in the secret passage."

Leng Yanan suddenly remembered the people in the secret passage and said, "Xiao Qiu, please prepare some more food later."

Just as Xiao Qiu was about to answer, she heard Leng Qingfeng's voice, "Sister Yan An, what are you going to do with all the food you prepared?"

Seeing Leng Qingfeng and a group of guards stepping into the yard, Leng Yanan felt something was wrong, but smiled and said, "Brother, why are you here? So many things happened today, and I haven't eaten all day. I'm really hungry. Do you want to stay and have dinner with us?"

Why is Leng Qingfeng here? And he brought so many guards with him. Could it be that he discovered something?

"Then Sister Yan An, please eat more. You don't need to eat together. My father is worried about the safety of my sisters and aunt, so he asked me to come here to search again. I wonder if Sister Yan An could give me a favor?" Leng Qingfeng looked at Leng Yan An and said.

Leng Yan's heart sank, and she said indifferently, "Of course, please do as you please, big brother."

Leng Qingfeng signaled his men, and the guards began to search everywhere. They turned the house and the yard upside down, but found nothing.

Leng Qingfeng was about to leave when he suddenly glanced at the lotus on the pond and said, "Sister Yan An, the lotus in your yard is really beautiful. You guys can go down to the pond and take a look."

"Yes." Several guards jumped into the pool and began to feel around, knocking on the edge of the pool with their knives.

Xiaoqiu was a little nervous, afraid that they would find the secret passage; Leng Yanan's palms were sweating, and he secretly took out three hidden weapons. If they were discovered, they would have to fight to the death. There were not only assassins hidden in the secret passage, but also account books.

The guard approached the edge of the pool and knocked hard, hitting the secret passage mechanism in the pool.

Leng Yan'an was so nervous that she was about to shoot the hidden weapon at Leng Qingfeng, but she found that although the mechanism of the secret passage was opened, she could not see the entrance.

"Strange, is it that the mechanism malfunctioned?" Leng Yanan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they had not discovered the secret passage.

"Young Master, we didn't find anything in the pool." The guards came out of the pool and reported to Leng Qingfeng.

Seeing this, Leng Qingfeng turned to look at Leng Yan'an and said, "Then I won't disturb my sister from having a meal. Let's go."

"Brother, take care." Leng Yan'an said with a smile, and personally escorted Leng Qingfeng out of the Plum Courtyard.

After confirming that Leng Qingfeng was gone, Leng Yanan was still feeling scared. Almost everything he had worked so hard for over the years would be wasted.
