Outside the Qi Mansion, a team of guards was on high alert, but they had no idea that someone had quietly entered the Qi Mansion and left quietly like an immortal.

After Wang Qin left the Qi Mansion, he did not stop, but went straight to another place - the residence of Prime Minister Pei.

He knew in his heart that what was to come was of vital importance and he had to be fully prepared.

Wang Qin heard from his subordinates, "The Prime Minister is handling affairs in the study."

He entered the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion, stood in front of the desk, and asked softly, "Does the Prime Minister still recognize me?"

When Prime Minister Pei looked up and saw Wang Qin, he was first surprised that the other party suddenly appeared in front of him. When he recognized who was in front of him, he was so shocked that he was speechless, and then he was so excited that tears filled his eyes.

"Great! Your Highness is still alive! If not, I really don't know how to face the late emperor!" The Prime Minister walked forward and knelt down.

"It was our fault that we failed to protect Your Highness."

Wang Qin helped the prime minister up and said sadly, "Prime Minister, don't say that. The Pei family lost a son for me. Master Pei used his life to exchange for my survival. I owe the Pei family a life."

"Don't say that, Your Highness. If the late emperor hadn't placed such high regard on us, the Pei family wouldn't be where we are today." The Prime Minister said with tears in his eyes, "If it were me that day, I would have made the same choice."

"You, the Pei and Qi families, are loyal subjects, but the royal family still treats you lightly. You want to harm the Qi family and then get rid of the Pei family."

"Alas!" Prime Minister Pei shook his head, "If the king wants his subject to die, the subject must die!"

Wang Qin shook his head, "No, that was done by a tyrant. How could a wise ruler harm a loyal minister?"

"I'm here to clean up the mess this time," Wang Qin said frankly.

"Ah!" The prime minister was stunned.

Wang Qin then made another arrangement: "At that time, the prime minister can select an obedient person from among the prince's sons, and the prime minister will assist him in handling government affairs."

The crown prince had four or five children, the oldest of whom was only five years old. The prime minister originally thought that Wang Qin wanted to take back the throne, but he did not expect that he actually planned to get rid of the new emperor and then support a young prince to ascend the throne.

"Yes, sir!" The prime minister bowed respectfully.

"Time is a bit tight, I need to leave for a while after I finish my work." Wang Qin said.

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured." The Prime Minister respectfully saw Wang Qin off.

Afterwards, the prime minister sat restlessly in his study. He stayed up all night, waiting for the death knell to sound from the palace.

Soon, Wang Qin appeared in the back hall of the palace. He walked to the new emperor's bed and called out, "Qi Yicheng."

"Who dares to call my name?" The new emperor woke up from his sleep and stood up.

When he recognized that the person in front of him was his uncle, the former crown prince Wang Qin, his face changed drastically and he asked in shock: "Are you a human or a ghost? Weren't you burned to death?"

Although they are of different generations, they are about the same age.

The new emperor had been the crown prince for ten years and knew a lot about the royal family.

His younger uncle Wang Qin was born to the empress dowager whom his grandfather married. His legitimate grandmother only gave birth to two princesses, who later died of illness.

The step-empress's grandmother was a princess who was married to a foreign country. She gave birth to Wang Qin, who was deeply loved by the emperor's grandfather and was made the crown prince since childhood.

On the day when the emperor's grandfather died, his younger uncle should have ascended to the throne as emperor, but he was burned to death by his father, who seized the world.

The new emperor was terrified and muttered, "My uncle is here to seek revenge. Why don't you report it to your father? He is the one who took your throne."

The new emperor saw that his uncle had come with bad intentions, and all the guards around him were knocked unconscious on the ground. He opened his mouth and wanted to shout to the guards outside for help, "Come..."

Wang Qin stuffed a pill into his mouth without hesitation, and then lifted his chin, and the new emperor was forced to swallow the pill.

The new emperor was terrified and subconsciously reached for his throat, trying to spit out the medicine, but to no avail.

"Don't waste your energy. It's useless. You've been poisoned." Wang Qin sat down calmly and waved his hand casually, "Nephew, come and talk to your uncle."

When the new emperor learned that he had been fed poison, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, his body trembled, and he almost wet his pants.

The new emperor held a glimmer of hope, hoping for a glimmer of hope. He begged bitterly, "Uncle, please forgive me, don't kill me, I am willing to give the throne to you."

However, Wang Qin just sneered and said sarcastically: "Haha, who would care about this world that has been made so chaotic by you and your son?"

The new emperor asked in a tearful voice, "Uncle, if it is not to fight for the throne, then what is the purpose of coming here today?"

Wang Qin remained calm, pointed his finger at him, and replied in a cold tone: "Clean up the house!"
