Tonight, Shen Li visited the Prime Minister's Mansion. There were so many secret guards in the mansion, but no one discovered her. This made the old Prime Minister think a lot in his heart.

If a person who single-handedly turned the two countries of Western Qiang and Northern Di upside down wanted to do something, it would be easy for him to succeed.

The old prime minister then had an idea in his heart and blurted out those words.

"If anyone in the Great Zhou has offended Miss Shen, please stick to the facts and don't blame the Great Zhou."

Shen Li knew what he meant, but she didn't avoid it. Instead, she smiled brightly and said frankly, "Don't worry, old Prime Minister. I, Shen Li, am a citizen of the Great Zhou and the niece of General Fang Yaofang. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager love me very much. My uncle is loyal to the emperor and loves the people. Censor Cui specifically told his daughter to take the initiative to befriend me. Even the Duke of Wei's Mansion gave me a lot of compensation for breaking off the engagement. I love the Great Zhou so much, how could I completely reject it because of a little flaw? That little flaw was caused by your good daughter. As you said, let's deal with the matter at hand. Can't I just get rid of her?"

The old prime minister's eyelids twitched a few times, his spine instantly weakened, his head ached, and his heart felt as if he had swallowed poison, which made him feel heartbroken and uneasy.

Under the dim light, he seemed to have aged a dozen years.

Having said what he needed to say, Shen Li bowed to the old prime minister and said, "After tomorrow's morning court session, just get in your carriage. I will find you inside and take you to a place."

After saying this, without waiting for the old prime minister to say anything else, he turned around and disappeared.

The old prime minister thought he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes hard, opened them and looked again, but there was no Shen Li in front of him? Not even the slightest trace was left.

"Someone is coming."

The wind in early winter was quite strong, making the windows rustle, but no one responded.

"Someone is coming."

The old prime minister raised his voice again and shouted to the outside.

Still no one responded.

He frowned, stood up, put on a thick cloak, tightened his clothes and walked to the door.

The door creaked open with a sound that could be heard clearly in the silent night. If it were this time in the past, several secret guards would have been standing in front of him, waiting to be ordered around.

But now, the moonlight outside was like water, illuminating the courtyard brightly, but there was no one there.

"Someone come here." The old prime minister shouted loudly with anger in his voice.

Finally, the sound of rapid running was heard from a distance. After a while, two people came running over. They just landed and knelt in front of the old prime minister. Before he could say "Subordinates are here", two more men in black came running over.

"I've met the master."

The four men in black all knelt at the feet of the old prime minister. The strange atmosphere around them made them extremely alert.

As soon as the two secret guards in front finished speaking, they spontaneously jumped onto the roof.

Stand tall and see far.

Before they could even look, the two men exclaimed, "Someone come here."

Several men in black suddenly gathered around.

The two men below immediately surrounded the old prime minister and blocked him in the middle.

Soon, everyone carried down two limp men in black from the roof and placed them on the ground in the yard.

Then, several more men in black were carried out from the trees and from the darkness.

Everyone's faces turned serious.

They were all people who were responsible for protecting other masters in the Prime Minister's Mansion day and night. They were hiding in their respective places when they suddenly heard the old Prime Minister's voice in the dead of night.

They were so scared that their hair stood on end.

The Prime Minister has the most secret guards around him, and any movement will be instantly surrounded by several people.

But now, the old prime minister's voice has changed, and it is obvious that there is no one around.

problem occurs.

Something big has happened.

The secret guards immediately ignored their other masters and rushed to the study.

The old prime minister was indeed standing there alone, and the cold wind was blowing, making everyone break out in cold sweats.

After the ceremony, he looked for the place where the secret guards were best at hiding. To his surprise, all the people who had been protecting the old prime minister tonight were lying there, unconscious.

Everyone's hair stood on end again.

Who did this?

The Prime Minister's House Secret Guards were among the best in the Great Zhou's elite families. It was unheard of that anyone could take down a fellow soldier right under their noses. It was impossible for even one person to be killed, let alone all of them.

The people lying on the ground in front of them slapped them hard in the face.

The secret guards knelt before the old prime minister, not daring to raise their heads.

The old prime minister was not as angry as they imagined. Instead, he stood there looking at everyone. After a long while, he slowly said, "There is always someone better than you. There is always someone better than you."

Then he flicked his sleeves, went into the house and closed the door.

After a while, the lights in the house went out.

Everyone knew that the old prime minister had fallen asleep, so he got up from the ground quietly, went up to the roof where he should go, and hid in a tree hole where he should hide, without making any sound the whole time.

What happened tonight was too weird. When these people wake up, I must ask them what happened.

The next day, as soon as the old prime minister left the court, he apologized to the emperor and hurried out of the palace.

There were either carriages or horses at the palace gate. After attending court, most officials went directly to the yamen to take up their duties. No one thought it was strange that the old prime minister was in a hurry to get into the carriage.

Even Zhao Er, who was driving the prime minister's carriage, didn't notice any difference between today and the past.

As soon as the old prime minister entered the carriage, he sat down and lowered the curtain. Just as he picked up the teacup, a figure flashed in front of him and Shen Li appeared in front of him.

"Greetings, old Prime Minister." Shen Li smiled and clasped his fists.

The old prime minister took out a cup and poured her a cup of tea.

"You were the one who knocked down those guys last night, right?" he asked.

Shen Li smiled and said, "I'm afraid they'll hear the noise and run out to cause trouble. So I'll just let them all sleep so that we can talk peacefully."

"Isn't it to show my power to me?" asked the old prime minister.

"How is that possible? There's no need," Shen Li replied generously, "You're not a young boy, you've seen all kinds of scenes. Is it really necessary to intimidate you?"

The old prime minister shook his head and said, "You scared everyone in my yard last night. They said they woke up at midnight and didn't know what happened to them. They said they fell down at the same time, but they couldn't imagine who could do that. But if they fell one by one, the people around them should have heard the noise. But no one heard anything. There was no sign, and they all lost consciousness. Tell me the truth, how did you manage to knock them down one by one without alerting anyone else?"

He stared at Shen Li with his eyes shining.

The aura was so strong that ordinary people would definitely panic under his gaze and would not dare to tell a lie.

Shen Li was very relaxed.

I had no intention of lying to him, so why should I panic?

"I can make myself invisible to anyone if I want to," she said.

Thaksin believes this.

The old prime minister nodded.

Shen Li continued, "I used a special anesthetic injection. I only appeared when I touched them. I shot them one by one, knocked them down, and then disappeared in a flash. The people next to them didn't notice at all and thought the one who fell asleep was asleep. Then, before they could think about it, they were knocked down by me too. It was that simple. I stabbed them all with the needle."
