Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

He is not a fool, so he cannot let his entire Liu family get involved.

He felt that Prime Minister Meng was the best candidate. Even if it turned out to be a mistake, with his friendship with Prince Li's Mansion, there would definitely be no harm.

He forced himself to argue: "Because you are the Prime Minister and the head of all officials, it is reasonable for you to report this matter to the Emperor!"

Prime Minister Meng sarcastically said, "Liu Yushi, although I am the head of all officials, as the current Yushi, you also have the right to report to the emperor!"

He was unwilling to tolerate Liu Yushi's bad habits, but he dared to let him be the spearhead. How could he tolerate this?

Censor Liu turned to look at the many officials following behind him and said, "Did you see that? Prime Minister Meng intends to stay out of this matter. In his eyes, our lives are like ants. He doesn't care at all!"

I have to say, this sentence is very provocative.

The officials were immediately very dissatisfied, and one of them was the first to speak up: "Prime Minister, if the smallpox epidemic spreads, our lives will be in danger. Please put the greater good first!"

He fell to his knees with a thud, and then all the court officials knelt on the ground and shouted, "Prime Minister, please put the overall situation first!"

Prime Minister Meng's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously yelled, "You all want to force me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground.

His staff rushed forward and shouted, "Prime Minister, what's wrong with you? Come, call the court doctor!"

The court physician rushed over, and after he took Prime Minister Meng's pulse, his expression became extremely solemn.

Madam Meng's eyes were red as she asked, "How is the master doing now? Why did he suddenly faint?"

The court doctor replied in panic, "The master is so angry that he looks like he's having a stroke. No matter what, we have to wait until he regains consciousness!"

Madam Meng's face suddenly turned pale and ugly. She turned to look at Censor Liu who was standing at the door and asked, "What did you say to our Prime Minister? Why did he get so angry that he had a stroke?"

At first, Censor Liu suspected that Prime Minister Meng was pretending to be unconscious, but when he saw Madam Meng like this, he suddenly felt guilty.

He stammered, "I was only reporting to him the rumor that the young master of the Prince's Palace had contracted smallpox. I never imagined he would faint. I'm not to blame for this!"

Madam Meng wiped her tears and said, "Liu Yushi, now you have seen the condition of our Prime Minister. He is now unconscious and naturally cannot participate in this matter anymore. You should leave quickly!"

Censor Liu immediately retorted, "How can that be possible? Without the Prime Minister, how can we convince the Emperor to investigate the smallpox outbreak in Prince Li's palace?"

Madam Meng was shocked by his shamelessness. She asked in surprise, "What's going on? My master is unconscious, and he can still persuade the emperor?"

Censor Liu spoke without hesitation: "Of course, even if he is unconscious now, he must be carried into the palace. The emperor must understand the seriousness of the matter!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he ordered several court officials to come quickly and carry Prime Minister Meng away.

Madam Meng quickly rushed forward to stop them. She glared at him with angry eyes and shouted, "You can carry him, but if anything happens to him, will you be responsible for his life?"

Everyone looked at Censor Liu anxiously. He argued, "You're just a woman. Prime Minister Meng has always been selfless and caring about the people. If he were awake, he would naturally be willing to plead for the people. Even if he truly could never wake up again, he would have no regrets because he participated in this matter!"

Madam Meng taunted her, "Well, you, Censor Liu, you've made my master the first to take the blame, and you've even disregarded his life or death. If you dare to carry him out of the Prime Minister's residence, I'll kill myself at the gate!"

Seeing the sharp golden hairpin across her neck, Censor Liu was shocked.

He said anxiously, "How could you do this? If Prime Minister Meng were awake at this moment, he would definitely divorce you, you fool!"

Mrs. Meng turned a deaf ear and just glanced at everyone with a pair of cold eyes.

In the end, Censor Liu did not dare to force her too much, so he had to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion in disappointment.

The official following behind him said, "Master Censor, even without the Prime Minister leading the charge, we can still go to the palace to find the Emperor. This concerns the lives of the people of Sheng Dynasty, and we cannot afford to delay even a little bit!"

Censor Liu understood this principle very well, but he was not afraid of ten thousand things, but of one thing.

If this rumor is false, the emperor will definitely find someone to take the blame and relieve Prince Li's anger.

After a moment's silence, he spoke, "Minister Pei is right. We cannot disregard the lives of the people of Sheng Dynasty just because we are afraid of the power of Prince Li's Palace. Let's go to the palace to see the emperor immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed to the palace.

At this time, Emperor Sheng An was dealing with memorials. For some reason, his right eyelid twitched violently, giving him a vague bad premonition.

He thought carefully about recent events. The Princess of Southern Xinjiang had been appeased, and Zhan Yan was stationed with troops in Liuli City, so nothing should go wrong.

Maybe I've been worrying too much recently and feel a little tired!

He called out, "Li Delu, what are you busy doing outside? Come in quickly and pour me a bowl of calming tea!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Delu came running in with a panicked look on his face. He reported in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, Minister Pei and Censor Liu have brought half of the court officials to see you!"

Emperor Sheng An raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Aren't all matters resolved at court? Why are so many people asking for an audience?"

Li Delu lowered his eyes tremblingly and said, "It is said that the young master of the Li Palace has contracted smallpox, and they have come to the emperor to ask for an explanation!"

Emperor Sheng An's expression suddenly changed, and he subconsciously tightened the tea bowl in his hand.

How could there be an epidemic of smallpox?

How come he didn't get the news?

Logically speaking, the emperor's uncle would not hide such a big thing from him.

After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, "Let Censor Liu and Minister Pei come in!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted. Then, Minister Pei spoke first: "Your Majesty, we have heard rumors that the young master of the Li Palace has contracted smallpox. People are panicking now. I beg you to quickly send someone to investigate and reassure the people!"

Emperor Sheng An asked calmly, "Where did you hear that?"

Minister Pei and Imperial Censor Liu exchanged a glance before answering, "It's all over the streets, and I've also sent people to inquire. The gates of Prince Li's mansion are now tightly shut, so it seems something big has indeed happened inside!"

Emperor Sheng An slammed the memorial down on the table and said, "This is ridiculous! I had no idea that all these officials in the court were so quick to believe everything they heard, spreading unverified rumors everywhere. Don't you understand that rumors stop at the wise?"
