Yan Sheng and Anyue arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the capital and happened to run into Jing Lian who was returning from the market.

Because An Yue's hand was injured, Yan Sheng helped her up.

When Jing Lian saw Yan Sheng helping Anyue get off the horse, she was shocked and stunned for a moment, her face a little stiff.

"Is something wrong?"

Yan Sheng saw Jing Lian standing at the door looking at them without saying anything for a long time, and asked lightly.

"Ah? Lord, you haven't eaten yet, right? Lord, is there anything you want to eat? I'll make it for you."

Jinglian asked calmly, holding the bamboo basket tightly in her hands.

Yan Sheng walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion and whispered, "No need."

She still hadn't figured out why she suddenly took the aphrodisiac last night. She clearly didn't eat anything of unknown origin yesterday.

Could it really be related to Minming? But she hadn't met Minming for a long time.

Forget it, now we have to deal with Yuguo’s problem first. It depends on how long Yu Zhihan’s condition can last.

Jing Lian pursed her lips, looked at Yan Sheng's back, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes.

"Jinglian, aren't you Miss Yu's personal maid? You should go back and serve Miss Yu. It's not your turn to serve the master yet."

An Yue glanced at Qing Lian and spoke slowly.

"What do you mean?" Jing Lian was stunned, then looked up at An Yue and said.

Dark Moon's eyes moved slightly, and he said coldly, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. I warn you, don't hang around in front of the master."

"I didn't expect you to have such thoughts about her. Take care of yourself first. It's not your turn to take care of my affairs."

Jing Lian lowered her eyes and spoke in a deep voice, then she took the bamboo basket and turned to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion.

I used to think that Dark Moon was a gentle and quiet person, but now I realize that Dark Moon has another face.

But it is also true that she used to be the Lord's wife. For Yan Sheng's sake, An Yue would naturally be respectful to her.

But now she is just Yu Xiaoxiao's maid. An Yue likes Yan Sheng, so when she sees her talking to Yan Sheng, she naturally won't be happy with her.

An Yue was slightly stunned and her heart was slightly moved. Why did Jing Lian seem to know her before? But she always had a good memory.

Jinglian is a person with heterochromia. If she has seen him once, she will definitely have an impression.

But she had no impression of Jinglian's appearance, yet she felt a sense of familiarity. What was going on?

Two days later, in the Yu Kingdom Palace, Yu Zhihan propped himself up, half leaning on the dragon bed, his face pale with a bluish tint, his lips pale and bloodless.

Chen Jiang, Lord Mu and several other ministers knelt below to discuss important matters.

"Your Majesty, Prince Mo is ready to make a move, and his wolfish ambition is obvious. The Crown Prince is young and needs someone to assist him, and this person must be able to restrain Prince Mo."

"Yes, Your Majesty, be careful of Prince Mo's attempt to usurp the throne. Please make plans as soon as possible."

Lord Mu and several court officials looked solemn and spoke tremblingly.

"I lost the military token because of my incompetence. I am afraid that the military token has fallen into Xue Jingxi's hands. I deserve death. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Chen Jiang knelt on the ground covered in dust and said with self-blame and regret.

As soon as he returned to the capital, Chen Jiang went to the palace to apologize to Yu Zhihan.

"Chen Jiang, you have followed me for many years, cough cough cough, I have always trusted you the most, but you have made me vulnerable from all sides, cough cough——"

Yu Zhihan looked at Chen Jiang and scolded with disappointment.

Now he is facing internal and external troubles, and his time is running out. But Yu Chiran is only three years old. How can he take on the heavy responsibility of the royal family?

"I have failed in my duty and betrayed the emperor's trust. I will die as a token of my sin."

Chen Jiang lowered his head, feeling very upset. He drew out his long sword and was ready to end his life.

He was Yu Zhihan's page boy and had followed him since Yu Zhihan was still a prince.

Now he has made a big mistake and is unworthy of the emperor's trust and importance.

"The Qianqing Palace is so lively today. What are you doing brandishing swords and guns, Chen Jiang? If you want to die, don't die in the emperor's bedroom, otherwise it will be unlucky."

Yan Sheng walked into the hall in a green robe, glanced at Chen Jiang and Yu Zhihan, and said leisurely.

Chen Jiang was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "Your Majesty, I was inconsiderate. I will return home and end my life now."

"Chen Jiang, you did something wrong but didn't think about how to make amends. You would be relieved if you died, but you left a mess behind, which would be even more unfair to your 80-year-old mother and your unborn child."

Yan Sheng's eyes moved slightly. Chen Jiang, this young and foolish man, didn't even know that he was being plotted against.

If Zhuyan hadn't come to report the situation in the palace to her, she wouldn't have known that Yu Zhihan's worsening condition was not accidental.

Although Chen Jiang lost his military command and Yu Zhihan was furious, he was not so angry that he fell ill.

In fact, Leng Ruoyun took advantage of Chen Jiang's trip to Jingzhou to tamper with Yu Zhihan's medicinal food.

After Chen Jiang left the capital, Qin Qi temporarily took over Chen Jiang's position and worked for Yu Zhihan.

Leng Ruoyun took advantage of the leverage between Qin Qi and Meng Fanluo to get Qin Qi to do things for her.

It just so happened that the unlucky Chen Jiang lost his military token, which stimulated Yu Zhihan and accelerated the deterioration of his condition.

Chen Jiang's wife is two months pregnant and he has an elderly mother at home who depends entirely on Chen Jiang for care.

"Ahem, Prime Minister, what you said makes sense. Chen Jiang, I will spare your life and let you make amends for your crime. But you, Prime Minister Yan, why are you here?"

Yu Zhihan raised his eyes to look at Yan Sheng, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and said in a serious voice.

If there weren't many available talents around him, he would not have let Chen Jiang off easily.

However, he did not call Yan Sheng over this time, so Yan Sheng came uninvited.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will never let you down again."

Chen Jiang looked at Yan Sheng gratefully, put the knife back into the sheath, and said respectfully to Yu Zhihan.

He was impulsive and forgot that his wife, children and mother were waiting for him at home.

Yan Sheng said calmly, "I heard that the emperor is ill. After all, I am the prime minister and the emperor's teacher. I have to come and show concern for him and share his worries."

In a nutshell, we just want to see whether Yu Zhihan is dead or not?

"My dear Lord Yan, you are thoughtful. Now the military token may have fallen into the hands of Yu Qianmo. I am very worried. Do you have any suggestions or countermeasures?"

Yu Zhihan's face was pale. He raised his tired eyes, looked at Yan Sheng expectantly and said.

"In my opinion, it would be better for the Emperor to abdicate to the Crown Prince as soon as possible, and then find a few ministers to assist the Crown Prince in ascending the throne."

Yan Sheng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said something shocking.
