Empress in her second playthrough: Something's not right with this plot!

Li Yunsheng paused for a moment.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"that……"

Jiang Qingying had a bellyful of questions, but when they reached the tip of her tongue, she didn't know where to begin.

"I have important business to attend to in the capital. Your Majesty may consider this before asking."

Li Yunsheng simply cupped his hands in greeting.

"My minister retire."

He paused again as he reached the doorway.

"His Majesty."

"Huh?" Jiang Qingying turned around immediately as if by reflex.

Li Yunsheng stood at the door and said calmly.

"Making mistakes requires punishment."

After saying that, he walked straight out of the house.

inside the house.

Jiang Qingying tensed up and shivered.

Chapter 42 No one can touch her! [Happy New Year!!]

The capital city, Miaoyin Tower.

Li Yunsheng was followed by Liu Quan and Ling Zuo, and the three of them walked in as usual.

As soon as he entered, the shop owner, Mr. Thirteen, looked at him as if he had seen a savior.

"Prime Minister Li, you've finally arrived!"

Li Yunsheng stopped in his tracks, thinking that Su Wanwan had noticed something and that he was late.

"what happened?"

"A wealthy young man surnamed Lei has arrived in Xizhou and is currently in Wanwan's room..."

Hearing this, Li Yunsheng actually breathed a sigh of relief.

His pace slowed down somewhat.

"What's wrong with Young Master Lei?"

Mr. Thirteen said tactfully.

“I’ve already told Young Master Lei that Wanwan only sells her art, not her body, but he won’t listen.”

"Hehe." Li Yunsheng laughed, "If Young Master Lei doesn't pay after he's done playing, then it doesn't count as selling."

"what?"

Mr. Thirteen looked surprised, knowing that the Prime Minister loved listening to Su Wanwan play the zither.

Therefore, everyone had a tacit understanding that even if they entered the bedchamber, they would not do anything too outrageous.

After all, everyone had already accepted that Su Wanwan was the Prime Minister's concubine.

Li Yunsheng walked to the entrance of the sleeping quarters and waved to the Thirteenth Master.

"This is none of your business. I'll handle it."

Mr. Thirteen looked at the door of the sleeping quarters and bowed.

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Excellency."

After saying that, he left the courtyard of the sleeping quarters.

Before Li Yunsheng even entered the room, he heard Su Wanwan's helpless and frightened voice coming from inside.

"Young master, please don't do this, I'm going to scream."

"No one will listen to you no matter how much you scream."

"Help me—"

boom!

Li Yunsheng kicked open the door, and inside was a fair-skinned young man who was holding Su Wanwan's wrists with both hands.

Upon seeing the three people at the door, Su Wanwan's screams abruptly stopped.

Young Master Lei frowned and looked towards the door, somewhat angry.

"who?"

Liu Quan closed the palace doors, waiting to trap the dog behind closed doors.

They must have had the audacity to mess with Su Wanwan.

However, Li Yunsheng's next words almost made his jaw drop to the ground.

"Young Master Lei, please continue."

Young Master Lei wanted to continue, but with three spectators watching, how could he continue?

Seeing that Ling Zuo was tall and strong, he hesitated for a moment, then took out a silver note from his pocket.

"Here you go, now get out!"

Li Yunsheng took the silver note, his face showing reluctance.

"Just one, but there are three of us."

"you--"

Young Master Lei then took out two more silver notes from his pocket.

"One for each person, don't disturb my good time."

Su Wanwan, standing to the side, was filled with mixed emotions.

Li Yunsheng arrived, and she was very happy that she had saved her health.

However, Li Yunsheng's return came too quickly, which made her feel uneasy.

Furthermore, the assassins she had sent out had not returned, which made her even more uneasy.

Li Yunsheng accepted the silver notes, but stood at the door without moving, still watching.

After taking the money, he still wouldn't leave, which completely enraged Young Master Lei.

"Aren't you going to get out of here?!"

"Insolence!" Ling Zuo roared. "This is Prime Minister Li, the current Chancellor!"

thump.

Young Master Lei knelt down with remarkable ease.

"Please, Minister Li."

Li Yunsheng said in a serious tone.

"I'm letting you continue."

"Li Xiang——"

Li Yunsheng raised his hand, interrupting him.

"You continue, I'll just take a look."

"This……"

With such a serious demeanor, Young Master Lei truly had no idea what Li Yunsheng was thinking.

"It's because of me that no one in the capital dares to touch Su Wanwan."

But in reality, I don't care about her.

"Su Wanwan is yours today. You can do whatever you want with her."

Young Master Lei had begun to believe him somewhat, and he asked tentatively.

"Please go first, Your Excellency."

Even if what Li Yunsheng said was true, how could he dare to be at the front of the line?

Li Yunsheng shook his head.

"I'm just here to watch the show."

Lei Gongzi suddenly realized that Prime Minister Li had this kind of quirk.

With this in mind, he became a little bolder.

He pointed at Su Wanwan, then at himself.

"Then I—?"

"Please continue, Young Master Lei."

Beside him, Liu Quan swallowed hard, his throat bobbing.

Unexpectedly, following the Prime Minister has brought such good fortune.

Ling Zuo silently turned around and faced the palace gate.

Seeing that he was serious, Su Wanwan immediately lost her composure.

"Prime Minister!"

Su Wanwan wore a wide-sleeved shirt, which made it very convenient for her to work.

Despite his brute strength, Young Master Lei yanked his long sleeves down abruptly.

With a sharp rip, Li Yunsheng and Liu Quan both exclaimed in surprise.
