The Jinwu Guard General's face darkened, "Miss Shen, didn't you ask me why I felt that you had no evidence of the Fourth Prince collaborating with the enemy and committing treason?"

"Yes! I'm just curious, so I'm asking." Shen Shuangyue smiled maliciously, "I didn't expect that a question of curiosity would lead me to see His Majesty the Emperor."

The emperor rubbed his brows and said, "My time is limited. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."

Shen Shuangyue stated her purpose: "Since the emperor is so busy, have you ever thought of asking someone to help you review the memorials?

Let me ask you, what if? Suppose there is someone with extraordinary talent, but whose power is so great that even you, the Emperor, are afraid of him, then could you strip him of his official position and have him review memorials for you exclusively?

The Emperor waved his hand, asking the Jinwu Guard General to withdraw, and then asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"Your Majesty, I want to protect the Prime Minister." Shen Shuangyue did not keep it a secret. "I can charge him with the crime, but I want to save his life."

The emperor was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Miss Shen, you are overreaching!"

"Your Majesty, if you can stretch your hand out longer, at least it won't hurt as much as slamming the table. Are you really willing to let the Prime Minister die? Moreover, I believe that if you say a word, he will resign without hesitation and retire."

"You know him better than I do, so I'll summon him to ask."

"I believe the Prime Minister will not let the emperor down." Shen Shuangyue poured a cup of tea for the emperor.

Upon receiving the oral order, the Prime Minister rushed to the Jinwu Palace without stopping and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

The Emperor said, "Prime Minister, please excuse me. Miss Shen said you were planning to resign and retire. I summoned you to ask about this."

The Prime Minister replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, I have just made some progress in the matter you asked me to investigate. It seems to be related to the black market outside the capital, but I haven't found a way to enter it yet."

Shen Shuangyue was shocked. "But it's related to the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Rites, and the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple..."

These people are the ones who suddenly defected to the Fourth Prince in the plot.

The Prime Minister questioned the Emperor with his eyes, and after receiving the Emperor's consent, he said, "I have received news that they have entered. It is said that the black market is just a facade. There are also places like brothels and arenas inside. The marijuana and poppies that appeared in the capital also came from there."

The system added: [Host, this is also the reason why the three Mo Linqing brothers, knowing that the Prime Minister's continued service would only lead to a disastrous end, never considered asking him to resign.]

Shen Shuangyue smiled sarcastically, "So everyone who enters has something on everyone else. If you investigate this, Prime Minister, you'll risk offending countless officials and noble families."

She looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, it's normal for you to be wary of the prime minister at this juncture. Three people can make a tiger. With so many memorials implicating the prime minister, it would be strange if he wasn't wary."

The Prime Minister looked at the Emperor in disbelief, his eyes gradually turning red, his voice choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, I... I have absolutely no second thoughts about you. I always remember what you said when you ascended the throne: you hoped that all people in the world would have enough food and clothing and that the country would be forever as solid as a rock.

Since I have followed Your Majesty, I have not dared to slack off day or night, hoping only to share Your Majesty's worries and bring benefits to the people.

Your Majesty, my heart is as bright as the sun and the moon, and I have absolutely no desire for power.

I now earnestly request Your Majesty's permission to hand over all matters in my hands and then retire to my hometown, in order to preserve my integrity and avoid Your Majesty's suspicion."

The emperor was silent. "That's it. You will continue your investigation. I will punish you according to their wishes. Then you will return to the capital secretly and help me review the memorials."

Shen Shuangyue suddenly felt a little confused. This was because the plot had changed, or was it still the original plot?

But at least if she saved the prime minister, the prime minister could still serve the country, and after the end of the play in the future, the prime minister could regain his freedom.

The matter was settled for now. The Emperor asked the Prime Minister to withdraw and looked at Shen Shuangyue. "Miss Shen, what are your plans next?"

"I don't know what to do either." Shen Shuangyue sighed, "Your Majesty, I've never understood why you're afraid of even the Prime Minister, so why aren't you afraid of me? If I tell the Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Princes and the Prime Minister's son that I want your position, will they help me get it?"

This statement was extremely disrespectful, and the emperor was so angry that he slammed the table and said, "Miss Shen, how do you expect me to be afraid of you? I can even dream of you striking me with a bolt of lightning!"

He said desperately, "If you want it, tell them that I let you take the throne because I am not as skilled as others!"

Shen Shuangyue was silent for a moment. "Actually, this matter is easy to resolve. If you execute me, it will be over. I won't chop you down either."

The emperor refused: "Don't think I don't know what happened in Lijia Village. I don't want to see the young die before the old."

"Then after I save them all, will you consider executing me?" Shen Shuangyue said with a smile: "It would be such a nuisance if I kept it here! I can run faster than the Jinwu Guards, and it only takes a thought to cause chaos in the capital.

I don't have any morals, so I can hire a few people to throw shit at the government office.

Order your four sons to perform a striptease for me, they can twist their waists into twisted knots..."

The emperor suddenly interrupted Shen Shuangyue, "Can my son really dance? Can he even twist like a pretzel?"

Shen Shuangyue was choked and continued to destroy her image: "I asked them to dance, and they will definitely dance."

The Emperor: "Then let them jump. If they really want to jump, I will kill you before I die."

He couldn't let someone who could control his sons live, and he didn't want to face his sons' sad eyes.

Shen Shuangyue frowned slightly, "Can't it be earlier?"

"No, I am in power now. You can't do anything tricky. You are nothing to be afraid of."

"Okay." Shen Shuangyue had no choice but to settle for the second best. At least there was hope of logging off, but this time was too long!

She misses her sister so much!

The emperor picked up the teacup and said, "But you have committed the crime of great disrespect. I cannot fail to punish you."

"How does the emperor want to punish me?"

The emperor smiled maliciously, "I will punish you when the fifth prince returns."

The fifth prince returned to the capital only after he had completely resolved the issues in Licheng.

At this time, Shen Shuangyue was arranged by the emperor to work as a writing eunuch in the imperial study.

The emperor took out a memorial and placed it in front of Shen Shuangyue.

"This is the memorial submitted to me by the Fifth Prince. He said that women have talents, virtues, and great ambitions, but are unable to display them due to old customs, which is a loss to the country.

He heard that there were extraordinary women among the people who were proficient in literature and martial arts, and their talents were no less than men, but they could only be confined to the boudoir.

Although you proposed opening up the imperial examinations to women, and although you wrote books such as "Against Women's Curses", and have many followers, everything is difficult at the beginning. Nowadays, women still have to rely on their families and obey the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers.

I have pondered this deeply. If I were to issue an edict allowing all women who pass the imperial examination to choose their own marriages, would this be an opportunity for change?

Shen Shuangyue's heart trembled, "Your Majesty is wise."

The emperor curled his lips and said, "Then I want to punish you for your disrespect. Please don't strike me with thunder."

Shen Shuangyue was helpless, "Your Majesty, how do you want to punish me?"

"It's not a big punishment actually." After spending so many days together, the emperor was too lazy to hide his love for watching the fun.

"I have imprisoned the Third, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Princes, as well as the Prime Minister, in eight separate rooms. I've fed them a drug that, if they don't take the antidote, will be detrimental to my offspring. However, I only have seven antidotes. The remaining person can only rely on Miss Shen to detoxify. What will Miss Shen do?"

After saying that, he knocked on the memorial, indicating: I agreed not to be angry!
