Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord-Chapter 1928: Shattered Stones

The Prime Minister glared at him fiercely, and said irritably, "What on earth is going on?"

The steward covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes swirling helplessly as he looked at the Prime Minister, unsure whether to speak or remain silent, and fell quiet.

"I’m asking you! Deaf?"

"...!"

"If you don’t speak, there’s no need to speak ever again."

The Prime Minister was extremely frustrated, wondering why his servants were all so dim-witted—truly infuriating him.

"Speak, I will speak."

Thus, the steward narrated everything he had just overheard at the gate to the Prime Minister.

"What? These unruly people dare accuse me?" The Prime Minister was startled; the Emperor valued public sentiment highly, and if he knew about this huge blunder, he definitely wouldn’t be on his side.

"Exactly! That’s why I rushed in to report to the Prince."

"Oh dear, what should I do?" The Prime Minister paced anxiously back and forth.

"Prime Minister, is what they said true?"

"What incident?"

"The matter about the man in black attacking the War Prince’s Mansion at night."

"What nonsense, do I seem like someone who would do such a thing?"

"No, no, I was just asking casually."

"Hmph!"

The steward watched the Prime Minister anxiously pacing around and said, "Since you didn’t do it, there’s no need to fear them. Don’t forget, we have the Empress."

Indeed! How could he forget the Empress? With the steward’s reminder, the Prime Minister could no longer sit still and instructed the steward to prepare the carriage. He needed to hurry to the Imperial Palace and discuss tactics with the Empress regarding the Emperor and the War Prince.

"But, Prime Minister, you haven’t had breakfast yet," the steward couldn’t help but remind.

"With such a serious matter at hand, how could I eat? Forget it, quickly prepare the carriage; I must head to the palace immediately."

"Yes."

The Prime Minister hurriedly boarded the carriage and headed to the palace.

As soon as he left, Long Rui arrived with his men.

Upon entering the city, Long Rui heard reports from his men that last night, over a hundred men in black attacked the War Prince’s Mansion, targeting Madam Situ by name.

Enraged, Long Rui thought a mere Prime Minister dared attempt to kill his woman? Perhaps he had been too amiable lately, leading these people not to take him seriously?

In his fury, he didn’t even return to his mansion and went directly to the Prime Minister’s residence.

The guards at the gate saw him and turned pale with fear; in Moli Country, the War Prince was infamous for his ruthlessness, as was the Prime Minister. Of all people to offend, why anger this Plague God?

Long Rui sat atop his tall steed, waved to his subordinates, and coldly said, "Go inside, capture the Prime Minister for me, hang him at the entrance, and whip him two hundred times."

"Yes."

A team leader jumped off his horse, leading his men aggressively into the Prime Minister’s residence.

Unexpectedly, after searching everywhere, they couldn’t find the Prime Minister. They later learned that the Prime Minister had just taken a carriage to the palace.

"Lucky him," Long Rui said icily. If one dared to assassinate his woman, one had better be prepared for the consequences: "Demolish the Prime Minister’s residence."

"Yes."

Dozens of guards stepped forward, smashing the plaque hanging at the entrance of the Prime Minister’s residence. Inside, they caused havoc, tearing down the magnificent gates as well. The pair of stone lions at the entrance wasn’t spared either; with a single palm strike, each lion was reduced to rubble.

To dare send assassins to the War Prince’s Mansion to kill his woman? If they don’t show the Prime Minister a little taste of Long Rui’s might, they might forget its power.
