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

"How do you know I'm not here to investigate?"

When it comes to sophistry, Li Yunsheng has never been afraid of the Empress, and he always has a reasoned and well-founded argument.

"Moreover, His Majesty has already agreed to abolish the ward and market system during the morning court session."

From now on, businesses can also operate in the neighborhood.

These words caused an uproar among the people in the courtyard, who began to discuss the matter in hushed tones.

Old Zhang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was now half relieved.

Jiang Qingying pointed to the people filling the courtyard.

"You dare say he only started telling stories here today?"

Li Yunsheng handled the situation with ease.

"He only started telling stories in the courtyard today, and everyone in the courtyard can testify to that."

If Your Majesty does not believe me, you may ask—

At this point, his tone turned colder.

"Let's see who dares to say otherwise."

The empress gritted her teeth and forced out a sentence.

"Okay, very good!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Before leaving the courtyard, he kicked the policeman who was kneeling on the ground to the ground.

"Old Zhang, continue!"

Li Yunsheng walked up to the constable who had knelt down again, looked down at him, and stepped on his shoulder.

"You actually dared to get up just now."

Chapter 66 I've long been fed up with your arrogant attitude!

dusk.

Liu Quan rushed into the house.

"Your Excellency, a palace eunuch has come to deliver an imperial decree."

Reception room.

Li Yunsheng met the eunuch who came to deliver the imperial decree.

What is Your Majesty's decree?

The eunuch's tone was filled with anxiety.

"His Majesty is seriously ill and has urgently summoned Prime Minister Li and Prime Minister Liu to the palace."

Li Yunsheng naturally didn't believe this.

"Nonsense, I saw His Majesty during the day and there was nothing unusual about him."

The eunuch bowed and said.

"For some reason, His Majesty suddenly vomited blood after returning to the palace."

The imperial physician diagnosed him, saying it was due to excessive anger, coupled with His Majesty's constant anxiety and fear, that he might be...

Through his innate skill, Li Yunsheng was able to tell that the eunuch was not lying.

This made him a little uneasy.

"Liu Quan, prepare the horses!"

Weiyang Palace.

Liu Cheng stood at the palace gate, but did not rush to go in.

Only when Li Yunsheng appeared did he show an anxious expression.

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

Li Yunsheng didn't dare to delay. Without exchanging pleasantries with Liu Cheng, he stepped directly into the palace gate.

He kept checking the system the whole way, and thankfully, the Empress was still bound to it.

After entering the palace gates, Li Yunsheng kept observing his surroundings, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

The palace guards were under his control, and any movement of them could not be concealed from him.

At this moment, Physician Hu hurriedly walked out of Fenglin Palace.

Li Yunsheng grabbed him.

"How is His Majesty?"

"Prime Minister Li, His Majesty is likely nearing his death..."

Li Yunsheng was initially a little anxious, but seeing Physician Hu's demeanor, he calmed down.

The eunuch genuinely believed the Empress was seriously ill, but judging from Physician Hu's demeanor, he was clearly lying.

Li Yunsheng looked towards Fenglin Palace, so there was a trap waiting for him there.

Liu Cheng was getting old, and even if he jogged, he couldn't keep up with Li Yunsheng's brisk pace.

However, upon seeing Li Yunsheng suddenly stop, he immediately sensed something unusual.

However, he still stopped Physician Hu to confirm.

"Your Majesty, really?"

Physician Hu nodded.

"Prime Minister Liu, please go inside quickly."

Upon hearing this, Liu Cheng seemed to be deep in thought, and then walked to Li Yunsheng's side.

"Prime Minister Li, why aren't you going in yet?"

Li Yunsheng came to his senses.

"Please come in, Prime Minister Liu."

His gesture made Liu Cheng feel even more uneasy.

"At this point, let's not give way, hurry up!"

As he spoke, Liu Cheng jogged towards Fenglin Palace, while Li Yunsheng followed behind.

As Liu Cheng was about to step into the Phoenix Palace, he deliberately lowered his foot a little.

Taking a step forward, I tripped over the high threshold.

With a cry of "Ouch!", his head slammed against the stone slab, and he passed out.

"Prime Minister Liu!"

Upon seeing this, the guards standing at the door immediately helped him up.

The guards turned their gaze to Li Yunsheng, who was following closely behind.

"Prime Minister Li, what should we do?"

Li Yunsheng shouted, "Quickly, go and call Physician Hu back!"

Yes, yes.

The guards immediately went after Physician Hu.

Li Yunsheng squatted down and looked at Liu Cheng, whose forehead had a large bump.

"Prime Minister Liu, why do you have to do this?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger and breathed on it.

Zhao Liucheng got a loud flick on the forehead where he had a large bump.

Liu Cheng gritted his teeth, but his eyelids still twitched involuntarily.

"Alright, you all take good care of Prime Minister Liu."

After Li Yunsheng finished speaking, he got up and walked into the Fenglin Palace.

He had just stepped one foot over the threshold when he pulled it back.

"By the way, no matter what happens inside, you guys must not go in."

Upon hearing this, the guards immediately clasped their hands in agreement.

In the Empress' bedroom.

Li Yunsheng entered the room and saw the Empress lying on the bed, with Shangguan Xuanran standing guard beside her.

As soon as he entered the room, the dormitory door was closed.

Behind the door, Lin Ling, who had been waiting for a long time, held a sharp sword to his shoulder.

There's no need to ask anymore; this is definitely a trap.

He initially believed the story to some extent because the empress's act was very convincing.

Whether it was the eunuch delivering the imperial edict or Liu Cheng at the palace gate.

He used his innate skills to check everything, and there was not a single flaw.

In other words, the Empress kept even these people in the dark.

However, Physician Hu's emotions just now directly revealed his true feelings.

Moreover, once inside, the Empress and Shangguan Xuanran's emotions were clearly off, as could be seen through their innate abilities.

Li Yunsheng put his hands in his sleeves and turned his head slightly to look behind him.

"General Lin, what is your intention?"
