Chapter 551 The Prime Minister has made his decision.
The next day, just as dawn broke, Pei Yuanjun got up.

Today is his last day attending court, so naturally he has to go.

Seeing his wife fall asleep exhausted, Pei Yuanjun's eyes flashed with warmth.

He walked to her bedside, bent down, and kissed her forehead.

Qi Yunran waved him away, saying, "Go away, I want to sleep, I'm so sleepy!"

Pei Yuanjun was captivated by her soft, sweet voice and didn't want to leave at all.

He showered Qi Yunran with kisses until he was satisfied before letting her go.

At this moment, Qi Yunran had already been woken up by Pei Yuanjun, and she was looking at him with unfriendly eyes.

Her fierce yet adorable gaze made him feel like he didn't need to go to court today.

Finally, Qi Yunran threw a pillow at him, and he reluctantly went to court.

It was already broad daylight when Pei Yuanjun arrived; the morning court session had already begun.

Immediately, people in the court began to attack him: "Prime Minister, what time is it that you're only now arriving for court? You're even later than the Emperor!"

Pei Yuanjun glanced at Wei Guojiu expressionlessly, and Wei Guojiu felt a chill in his heart, his back covered in cold sweat!
How dare Pei Yuanjun intimidate him with her eyes?

Immediately, she retorted, "Yesterday, first people from the Kingdom of Hundred Treasures went to the Prime Minister's residence, then from the Kingdom of Great Abbas, and finally from the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Treasures. The princess of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Treasures even gave her crown to Lady Xian. Everyone knows how much the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Treasures treasures its crown. I wonder what explanation the Prime Minister has for this?"

After speaking, he looked at Jing Xuan, cupped his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister's actions yesterday were indeed very suspicious! People from three of the four kingdoms had contact with the Prime Minister. This old minister suspects that there is some unspeakable secret between them! I beg Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"

Jing Xuan remained silent, his gaze shifting to Pei Yuanjun: "I wonder what explanation the Prime Minister has for this? However, I believe the Prime Minister would not do anything to harm the interests of Louqu Kingdom, so Lord Wei need not worry too much about that!"

The court officials were also waiting for Pei Yuanjun's explanation. It was indeed unreasonable for the new emperor to be late for his first court session after the departure of the envoys from the four kingdoms. Pei Yuanjun looked at Jing Xuan coldly and said, "I was indeed delayed by something. Yesterday's matter was that Prince Tianjue and Prince Yuye were planning to seek business cooperation with my wife."

After saying that, he took out the contract that had been signed the day before and showed it to Jing Xuan.

After reading it, Jing Xuan said, "What the Prime Minister said is indeed true. This is indeed an agreement discussing business cooperation."

After speaking, he returned the agreement to Pei Yuanjun. Pei Yuanjun took it and put it away carefully.
The Wei family was unwilling to accept this: "That doesn't explain why the Prime Minister was late today and was accused of disrespecting the Emperor?"

Pei Yuanjun remained expressionless and coldly handed a piece of paper to the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch immediately presented it to the emperor.

Pei Yuanjun then said, "This is why I'm late."

The Wei family members felt a chill run down their spines. Could it be that Pei Yuanjun had caught them red-handed?

"Your Majesty must not listen to the Prime Minister's one-sided account!"

After reading the words on the paper, Jing Xuan's expression gradually turned cold.

Wei Guojiu's heart tightened as he watched. Could it be that they had set a trap for him today, deliberately leading him into the line of fire in an attempt to eliminate the Wei family?
Jing Xuan stared intently at Pei Yuanjun, his expression unreadable: "Prime Minister, have you made your decision?"

Pei Yuanjun said earnestly, "I have considered it carefully, and I hope Your Majesty will grant me permission!"

They could sense a hint of suppressed anger in the new emperor. The Wei family members felt their hair go numb and their bodies go limp—it was all over!

Today's event was specifically set up against the Wei family!

The court officials watched with varying thoughts as Wei Guojiu sat on the main hall, completely lacking any decorum!
Jing Xuan coldly swept his gaze over Wei Guojiu, who was utterly humiliated and felt guilty for his actions!
