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

A short while later, Li Yunsheng entered the Fenglin Palace.

"Your subject, Li Yunsheng, pays his respects to Your Majesty."

Jiang Qingying said sarcastically.

"With just one memorial, Minister Li killed one of the regents of our Great Chu. He is truly a wise and capable minister in times of peace!"

"Your Majesty, I dare not accept such praise; it is Your Majesty's own decision."

Jiang Qingying's eyes widened, and she was so angry she felt like her chest was about to burst.

This thief killed Fei Su and then tried to pin the blame on her.

I have never seen such a shameless person!

Jiang Qingying was furious. This scoundrel had clearly come to show off his power, yet she couldn't do anything about him.

"Is there anything else, Minister Li?"

"During the morning court session, I acted impulsively and forgot the proper etiquette between ruler and subject, thus disrespecting Your Majesty's body. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

After the court session, I was filled with remorse and beg Your Majesty to punish me severely.

Jiang Qingying's lips twitched. The words she was prepared to use to confront him were taken away, which disrupted her momentum.

What's even more infuriating is the expression on that scoundrel Li's face: I'm guilty, what can you do to me?

Is that what you call knowing you're guilty?

You clearly don't know!

Jiang Qingying said self-deprecatingly.

"How dare I punish you? Your neck is thicker than my waist."

"Your Majesty, I dare not. I am filled with trepidation. I only wish to tell Your Majesty another story."

Upon hearing that she was to tell a story, Jiang Qingying immediately thought of the story of Cao Cao that Li Yunsheng had told her two days ago.

"What story?"

The story of Emperor Xian of Han's edict regarding the lower garment belt...

After the story was finished, Jiang Qingying glared angrily with her phoenix eyes and raised her voice.

"Everything is as you wish, do you still want to slaughter them all?"

Faced with the Empress's questioning, Li Yunsheng remained calm.

"The Great Chu strictly prohibits factionalism. Fei Su colluded with the rebels to frame loyal officials, and his associates should naturally be punished."

Jiang Qingying glanced at Li Yunsheng sideways, and she knew perfectly well what he was up to.

On the surface, it was about enforcing strict military discipline, but in reality, it was about taking advantage of Fei Su's downfall to purge his associates.

She knew Li Yunsheng's purpose, but she couldn't stop him.

In retrospect, she realized she had been too hasty in attending the morning court session.

She was too eager to act before she was even capable of confronting Li Ze head-on, which led to the current situation.

Now, no matter how angry I am, I can only go along with Li the traitor.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Qingying squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"This matter is now entirely entrusted to Minister Li."

"Sir, obey the order."

After Li Yunsheng left the main hall, Jiang Qingying grabbed the animal-head agate cup on the table without hesitation.

With a snap.

The agate cup with the animal head design fell to the ground and shattered.

Chapter 7 Unexpected Turn of Events

Li Yunsheng, upon leaving the palace, did not feel much satisfaction from eliminating Fei Su.

He was just an ordinary person, yet he became embroiled in court intrigues.

An ordinary modern person suddenly becomes the prime minister of the current dynasty.

Even after repeatedly trying to mentally prepare himself, he still found the change in role very difficult to adapt to.

He could only try his best to play the role of Li Yunsheng based on Li Yunsheng's memories.

Moreover, over the past few days, he discovered something strange.

Inside the spacious carriage, he carefully sensed the movements around him.

Sitting in the carriage, he could hear the sounds outside clearly, so clearly that this was not the hearing a normal person should have.

He could confirm that Li Yunsheng's body had definitely undergone some changes.

However, the exact cause of this change remains unknown.

His thoughts drifted back to the moment he had just transmigrated, and he carefully recalled every detail.

At that moment, I felt a strange current of energy flowing into my body.

He had just traveled through time and thought it was his imagination.

But now that I think about it, the change probably came from that time.

In other words, it is real.

"Liu Quan!"

Liu Quan, who was rushing to catch the train, leaned back slightly.

"Prime Minister, what is it?"

Li Yunsheng opened the car door, leaned close to Liu Quan, and asked in a low voice.

"I'll wear—"

He almost blurted out the word "time travel," but quickly changed the subject.

"When you brought me that bowl of medicine three days ago, I was lying in bed. Was there anything unusual about me?"

"abnormal……"

Liu Quan fell into thought, and then his expression became somewhat mysterious.

He hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something but stopping himself, and remained silent for a long time.

But this did not escape Li Yunsheng's eyes; he could clearly see the changes in Liu Quan's emotions.

"Say what you see."

Liu Quan also lowered his voice.

"Your Excellency, when I entered the room, I saw what looked like a white mist heading towards your brow."

Li Yunsheng thought to himself: Just as I expected!

This was similar to his feeling, except that he was still unconscious at the time, so he did not see the so-called white mist.

"What does that white mist look like? Why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Liu Quan tugged on the reins slightly, slowing the car down a bit.

"Your Excellency, that white mist 'whooshed' into your head in an instant. I thought I was seeing things."

"and then?"

"And then?" Liu Quan asked, puzzled. "Then the Prime Minister woke up."

Actually, there was something he had kept to himself and had never dared to say.

These past few days, he's been suspecting that the Prime Minister is being haunted by something unclean, otherwise why would he be behaving so strangely?

Previously, the Prime Minister always rode a horse wherever he went, but now he travels by carriage everywhere.

Furthermore, the Prime Minister used to frequently visit Miaoyin Tower to listen to Su Wanwan play music, but he hasn't mentioned Su Wanwan at all in the past three days.

So, is the Prime Minister in front of us possessed by something evil?

Then, is the Prime Minister still the Prime Minister?

The more Liu Quan thought about it, the more terrified he felt, as if Li Yunsheng behind him was staring coldly at him with a pair of bloodshot, scarlet eyes.

His throat was a little dry, and he asked tentatively.

"Prime Minister, what is that white mist?"

"There's no white fog, you're seeing things."

boom.

Li Yunsheng closed the car door and got back into the car.

The situation is somewhat complicated. What exactly was that white mist that Liu Quan saw?

There's no white fog in my own book.

He touched his forehead; there was nothing unusual.

The unknown is the most terrifying thing; he didn't know how many secrets this body still held that he was unaware of.

First of all, Li Yunsheng looks exactly like his modern self; he's practically an ancient version of himself.

Although Li Yunsheng is a villain in the book, his appearance is absolutely handsome and refined.

He admitted that when he was creating this character, he incorporated some of his own handsome appearance into the role.

However, just by imagining it, it turned out that they really looked exactly the same.
