Chapter 156 Prime Minister's Son

Mingqi was about to speak when a chaotic sound of footsteps sounded.

The two turned their heads to look out the window at the same time. A group of soldiers rushed in and surrounded Zhuxi Teahouse in a blink of an eye.

"Guard this place, not a fly is allowed to fly out!"

The leader was a young man. After leaving this order, he went straight into the teahouse.

There were many people drinking tea on the first floor. Seeing this scene, they were a little panicked.

There were footsteps coming from the stairs, going straight to the second floor, and gradually approaching the private room where Yan Li was.

Then the waiter's voice sounded: "Sir, this is it."

Yan Li's eyebrows moved slightly, and he turned his head to look casually.

It happened that the door of the private room was pushed open, and a man in a gorgeous robe came into view. He had a handsome and gentle face, but his eyes looked a little sinister.

Seeing Yan Li and Ming Qi, he smiled coldly: "Princess Nanyang is openly meeting a man from outside?"

If he thought that this sentence would make Yan Li nervous, then he was obviously wrong.

Just as he squinted his eyes and looked at Ming Qi, Yan Li said lazily: "Who is this princess meeting privately, and do you need a nobody like you to meddle in my business?"

The sinister man's face sank, and anger flashed in his eyes.

Nobody?

Let her see who the nobody is later.

The man suppressed his anger and walked into the private room.

Several followers outside closed the door in an instant and blocked the door tightly, obviously intending to trap Yan Li here.

I don't know whether the next step is to let more people come to see this scene, to confirm the crime of Yan Li meeting a man from outside, or to use this as a handle to threaten something.

Yan Li looked calm and composed, and even had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't seem to have any scruples at all.

"Princess Nanyang, aren't you worried that the Ninth Prince will know about this?" Seeing her expression, the sinister man said coldly, "Don't forget, you and the Ninth Prince are getting married soon."

"It's broad daylight now, and there should be many spies in the Ninth Prince's Mansion." Yan Li pointed to the bright sun outside the window, "Since I dare to do this, I'm naturally not worried about Mu Cang knowing."

She hasn't married yet, but she actually called the Ninth Prince by his name, which is obviously beyond his expectation.

The man's expression changed slightly, and his eyes became more serious: "In this case, I will send someone to notify the Ninth Prince now and ask him to come and see him in person?"

Yan Li raised his hand: "Please."

The man sneered, thinking that Yan Li was pretending to be calm, and was about to call for help.

"Wait a minute." Mingqi said slowly, "This young man came up with an attitude of accusing and threatening. Isn't it a bit impolite?"

The sinister man thought he had him, and the gloom in his eyes slightly relaxed, and he smiled confidently: "I wonder what you want?"

"At least you should tell me your name first." Mingqi said, "So that if I accidentally kill someone later, I will know who I killed."

The man's smile froze, and his eyes became cold: "You really don't know how to live or die!"

Mingqi smiled leisurely: "You really don't know how to live or die."

As soon as he finished speaking, he casually waved his robe sleeves.

A fragrance blew in the air.

Probably because the fragrance was too good, the man didn't pay attention to it for a while, and was half a beat late to feel the pain in his heart.

He suddenly covered his chest, his face pale: "You...you poisoned me?"

"Look, the person who doesn't know how to live or die is obviously not me, nor Princess Nanyang." Mingqi smiled gently, but his voice was full of unacceptable meaning, "Please tell me your name."

"You...you are so bold!" The man gritted his teeth, shocked and angry, with a trace of undetectable uneasiness, "I am the prime minister's legitimate son, you dare to poison me?"

Prime minister's legitimate son?

"It turned out to be Mr. Gu." Yan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, leaning against the window, with a hint of understanding in his eyes, "I don't know if you want to seek justice for your sister or pave the way for the fourth prince by doing this today?"

A few days ago, Gu Anxian and Mu Wenxuan met secretly in Fengming Tower and were caught by King Jing. Gu Anxian's reputation was ruined, and the emperor issued an order to grant them marriage.

Is Gu Heyu holding a grudge and wanting to retaliate against Yan Li in the same way today?

"Princess Nanyang is vicious and cruel, she will definitely be punished!" Gu Heyu's face turned pale with pain, and he unconsciously grasped his chest, "You...what poison did you give me?"

This person is indeed Gu Heyu, the son of Prime Minister Gu.

In the first month of the year, he followed the secret order of the Fourth Prince and left the imperial city in the name of visiting a famous teacher, but in fact he was secretly seeking support from the aristocratic families for the Fourth Prince.

After returning to Beijing, he learned that something big had happened at home. His beloved sister was actually given to Mu Wenxuan, the son of the Prince of Yu's Mansion who had lost power, and had even passed the door of the Prince's Mansion. There was no chance to regret it.

Gu Heyu was shocked and angry and learned from his sister that her affair with Mu Wenxuan was calculated by Yan Li.

The Prince of Yu's Mansion lost power and was demoted because of Yan Li.

The Eighth Princess Mu Yunzhu was scolded by the emperor and flogged by the imperial concubine, also because of Yan Li.

Gu Heyu, who didn't know the inside story, was so angry that he wanted to rush to the Jiang family to seek justice for his sister, but was stopped in time by his father and mother.

They said Yan Li was favored by the emperor.

At this juncture, unless there was solid evidence to convict her, we couldn't confront her head-on.

Hearing this, Gu Heyu almost laughed out loud. An orphan girl living under someone else's roof, how could she confront him head-on?

Was she worthy?

But he knew that his father was right.

Since this woman was favored by the emperor, there must be at least a solid crime to put her to death.

Today was the best opportunity.

As a woman who is about to marry the Ninth Prince, she is shameless for having a secret meeting with a stranger in a teahouse in broad daylight.

If the Ninth Prince knew about such an indecent behavior, he would be furious.

However, what Gu Heyu did not expect was that Yan Li was not panicked at all when he was caught having a secret meeting with a strange man, and even allowed the stranger to poison him.

He is really vicious and no one can compare to him!

"Miss Yan is really smart." Gu Heyu's voice became cold, "So you should know that today's matter will not end well."

Yan Li hummed indifferently: "What do you want?"

"Miss Yan is afraid?"

"You think too much." Yan Li's voice was lazy, revealing a bit of mockery, "I just want to hear your poor plan."

Gu Heyu was furious: "Yan Li, don't be so proud! If you dare to plot against An Xian, I will never let you go easily...ah!"

A scream suddenly sounded, and Gu Heyu curled up in pain.

Bang!

The door was suddenly pushed open, and the followers rushed in: "Sir!"
