Reborn as Powerful Minister's Beloved-Chapter 707 - 650: Another Update 3

The news was extremely urgent, and by the time he received it, Zheng Nianru had already entered.

He had calculated every possibility, but he didn’t consider that Zheng Nianru, for the sake of Zheng Congyuan, would risk her life. No, she could have risked her life for Zheng Congyuan long ago. Right now, just because of a woman, a non-threatening woman, she could also rush in. Was she out of her mind? What could one woman do to influence her? Nothing could influence her, yet she was ready to risk her life like this.

Had she gone mad? What was she trying to do? Hadn’t she always cared about that lofty position?

Now she wanted none of it, he had merely dug a shallow pit, just to disgust her, and she actually swung the shovel herself, turning this pit into her own grave.

It was irrational, completely irrational.

"Hasn’t she come out yet?" Ju Nanyi couldn’t stand still anymore; she was simply missing a screw in her head, short-circuited by her attachment to Zheng Congyuan.

"Prime Minister Ju, The Emperor has already slept...slept..." the Little Eunuch stammered, not finishing his sentence, when Ju Nanyi pushed him away in an instant.

"Prime Minister Ju, Prime Minister Ju, you can’t burst... burst in there..." The Little Eunuch scrambled to pull Ju Nanyi back, but was pushed away by Qing Yang and Qing Ying following him.

"Prime Minister Ju—"

The guards also appeared one after another, blocking in front of Ju Nanyi.

"Prime Minister Ju, this is Chenyuan Hall—" Today’s duty was led by the head of the Imperial Forest Guard, his cold sword already drawn in hand, standing firm in front of Ju Nanyi.

Qing Yang and Qing Ying were stunned, sensing something ominous. They had come in haste today; their master had rushed to the palace without hesitation upon receiving the news, and they did not know what had happened. At this moment, if Zheng Congyuan’s people wanted to kill their master, it would be an excellent excuse. Was their master courting death?

The scene was chaotically tense, but in an instant, it became very quiet. A slight mistake could lead to an irreversible result, so this moment of eerie silence seemed to freeze even the wind above their heads.

And just then, the sound from inside Chenyuan Hall passed through unusually clearly, as if the silence of the moment made way for those voices.

"My Lady, you mustn’t do this..."

"My Lady, do you no longer value your life—?" Nanny Yun at this moment didn’t care what could or couldn’t be said, holding tightly onto Zheng Nianru’s leg, refusing to let Zheng Nianru take another step forward, while Zheng Nianru clung to Zheng Congyuan’s garment, refusing to let go.

"Zheng Congyuan, you coward, I’m not scared, what are you afraid of..." Zheng Nianru’s voice thundered, leaving everyone present frozen like cicadas in winter, and the previously swirling murderous aura swept back.

The entangled figures were even faintly visible through the candlelight cast on the window lattice.

Thus, in a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Ju Nanyi’s complexion turned pale, not yielding at all, but it was Zheng Nianru’s voice that calmed him somewhat.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do not misunderstand, the matter is urgent, as you have heard. I have saved the Lady several times before, perhaps she will listen to some of what I have to say." Ju Nanyi felt her own arms trembling; she was indeed mad, utterly mad.

Isn’t she the one who least cares about these, even personally wanting to matchmake for him, to push him out?

Isn’t she the one who always lacked a moral compass, doing whatever pleased her? All those cats and dogs of her past life got by just because she was pleased, utterly shameless.

To hell with her pleasure!

She was nothing but a devil, a devil indeed.

This time, the Imperial Forest Guard guards were stunned; although they had faintly heard some rumors, now...

Just then, Eunuch Zheng came tumbling out, dragging along a woman wrapped in a quilt.

"Eunuch—" The two guards of the Imperial Forest Guard immediately went up to him.

"Quick, get her out of here—" Eunuch Du hadn’t finished speaking when several voices blocked his words.

"Eunuch Du, Eunuch Du—" At this moment, everyone’s gaze turned towards Eunuch Du. After all, the house inside was already in chaos, and regarding what was happening, the Imperial Forest Guard in Chenyuan Hall naturally knew something, but after all, this was The Emperor’s "domestic affair," why was Prime Minister Ju interfering?

Eunuch Du glanced at Ju Nanyi, who had already rushed in, feeling like his life was at stake. It wasn’t that he didn’t report, but now, no one would listen even if he did.

Eunuch Du seemed to make a major decision, akin to resigning himself; things had already come to this, so he might as well escalate them further. If it came to dying, everyone would die together; nobody was getting out alone.

Eunuch Du didn’t speak but just waved his hand, forgoing his usual caution and respect, closing his eyes and shaking his head.

Seeing this, Ju Nanyi couldn’t bother to say anything and just charged into the hall.

Naturally, Eunuch Du dared not stay outside alone.

"Oh dear, Prime Minister Ju, Prime Minister Ju..." with a look of helpless resignation that dared not stop yet couldn’t stop him.
