Transmigrated into a Prosperous Farm Wife, Pampered, Beautiful, Strong, and Tragic Prime Minister

All the questions that needed to be asked have been answered.

As the night drew to a close, Lin Shuyun found another way to play.

They take turns turning from left to right. Each time, the three people have to confess to a bad thing they did. If they confess incorrectly or poorly, they will be stabbed.

Half an hour later, the three of them were so tormented that they had no will to live and only wanted a quick end.

Hearing the commotion outside, Lin Shuyun got up from her chair.

"Alright, that's enough for now. I hope you can all turn over a new leaf and become new people!"

After saying that, he took all the silver notes from the jewelry box and left quickly.

The three tortured men, still not unconscious, looked on in disbelief as they saw her leave.

Then he got excited.

Does this mean they're being let off the hook?

So they managed to survive?

Before they could even celebrate, the door to the room was opened again, and the three tormented children immediately huddled together in fear once more.

Why is this living devil back again?

Jiang Changtian, dressed in black and with his face covered, entered and immediately saw the three people tied up together.

There was blood on the ground, indicating that the three people had clearly suffered inhuman torture.

Tingni said blankly, "Master, it seems someone beat us to it! And what are those three people's outfits like? They're quite unique!"

Prefect Xu wept bitterly, pleading, "Please, spare me! I'll tell you everything you ask, I'll tell you everything I know! I'll never dare to do it again, never again!"

Tingni clicked her tongue and said, "Wow, this prefect seems to have lost his mind. Could he be stupid?"

Before he could even ask, the old man confessed to all the bad things he had done.

The other man turned out to be someone from the palace, so they were immediately silenced.

Jiang Changtian originally wanted to kill Prefect Xu directly, but since he was a prefect, it would be troublesome if the higher-ups were alerted if he were assassinated.

As for Guo Zhen, she wouldn't survive even if Jiang Changtian didn't take action.

However, his student status cannot be reinstated at present, so we have to find another way.

As Jiang Changtian and his men left the Xu residence and scaled the wall, Yinzhu couldn't help but ask, "There weren't any cats when we came in. How come there are so many cats all of a sudden? Did they smell the blood, or is there some kind of omen?"

Tingni flashed her canine teeth, "I think you're overthinking it. I have a feeling that our master is the one who attracts cats. It's really strange."

Jiang Changtian remained silent, his mind already elsewhere.

He just asked the stray cats near the Xu residence, and they said that a man sneaked into the Xu residence.

Could it be that he's overthinking things? No, that's not it.

Jiang Changtian breathed a sigh of relief when he realized it wasn't her. He didn't want Yunyun to get involved in these matters, as it would bring her danger.

Early the next morning.

Lin Shuyun was still asleep when Qin Niangzi and Old Man Xu came to knock on the door.

"Are you trying to wake people up this early in the morning? Can't a person get any sleep?!"

Seeing her yawning, Madam Qin said in a low voice, "Don't sleep anymore. Something happened at the Xu residence last night, and they're investigating the assassin early this morning! You didn't go out last night, did you?"

"I didn't go out; I slept peacefully all night."

Lin Shuyun was so sleepy she could barely open her eyes, but she still managed to get dressed.

Soon the yamen runners arrived, searched the area but found nothing, and then left.

Lin Shuyun climbed back into bed and went back to sleep, and then she started dreaming.

……

……

royal palace.

When Xuanyuan Hongye woke up, his head was throbbing. Just as he was about to call for help, he saw Consort Lan kneeling by the bedside.

Consort Lan was only wearing a bodice, which still had many marks on it. Anyone with eyes could tell what had happened last night.

Seeing that the Emperor had woken up, Consort Lan looked up shyly and said, "Your Majesty, let me help you get up!"

"Did I summon you to my bedchamber last night?" Xuan Yuan Hongye asked, looking at her with some uncertainty.

"It is Your Majesty that I have something to report to you. After I entered, Your Majesty..."

Consort Lan looked shy, and the meaning behind her unfinished words was quite clear.

As she spoke, she knelt forward, but then cried out and fell weakly to the ground. "Your Majesty is too mighty. You hurt me last night."

Xuanyuan Hongye's expression turned serious for a moment.

"You can leave now. Let Dequan come in and serve you!"

A hint of resentment flashed in Consort Lan's eyes, but she still obediently withdrew.

As soon as Chief Steward Wei entered, a pillow was thrown at his head.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! This servant deserves to die!" Eunuch Wei immediately knelt down.

"You truly deserve to die! How did Consort Lan manage to enter my bedchamber!" Xuan Yuan Hongye said angrily.

Eunuch Wei whispered, "His Majesty himself let her in!"

I just didn't expect that after going inside for a short while, everything that should have happened and shouldn't have happened would happen.

"You bunch of useless fools! I was drunk at the time, why didn't any of you rush in and stop me?"

He had guarded his innocence for so many years, and it was all gone, taken away by this woman.

That's disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

Eunuch Wei had unspeakable bitterness in his heart. At that time, everything that was going to happen had already happened. He said he would go in to stop it, which would be called risking his life on the spot.

Xuanyuan Hongye looked at the red on the bed and suddenly got up. "No, I don't even have any memory of yesterday. How could I not know that I slept with a woman? Please summon the imperial physician."

The imperial physician arrived quickly and, after taking Xuanyuan Hongye's pulse, told him that he had not had sexual intercourse the previous day.

Xuan Yuan Hongye sneered. Lan Fei dared to come and play tricks on him with such a simple trick. She really had a lot of nerve.

"Does Your Majesty intend to severely punish Consort Lan?" Eunuch Wei asked cautiously.

As far as he knew, Consort Lan had never served the emperor since entering the palace, yet she held the rank of consort. He wondered what the emperor was up to.

Consort Lan is the same. The Emperor is no longer a naive young man. How could he not know whether he has slept with a woman or not?

"Ha, so he really wants to be pampered, then give it to him! Fool!" A hint of malice flashed in Xuan Yuan Hongye's eyes.

The chief steward, having temporarily saved his life, secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then brought up another matter.

"Your Majesty, news has come from Wuyun County that the Emperor Emeritus's illness has been brought under control, but he is unwilling to return to the capital."

“It’s actually a good thing that he’s going out. Since Father doesn’t want to come back, let him play for a while longer before returning.” Xuan Yuan Hongye raised his hand and put on his outer robe.

After a moment's hesitation, Eunuch Wei said, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has disappeared after leaving the Imperial Mausoleum. The people under my command searched for a long time before they discovered that the Crown Prince was also in Wuyun County."

"Why did that unfilial son go to Wuyun County?"

"Your Majesty, should we send someone to invite the eldest prince back to the imperial mausoleum?"

Xuan Yuan Hongye's expression was somewhat cold. "No need. Let him be. Send someone to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't die."

The head steward bowed his head and withdrew.

Thinking to himself, so many years have passed, yet the Emperor still hasn't gotten over the knot in his heart from back then.

Xuanyuan Hongye walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the square sky with a cloud hanging there.

He stood there and stared for a long time.
