The driver was just about to obey.
But just then, a Chief Eunuch rushed out from within the palace gates.
"Prime Minister! Please, hurry into the palace! The Emperor is in a thunderous rage over the bandits' uprising and is waiting for you!"
And so, the man in the carriage had to relent.
He told the driver, "Give her some silver."
The driver quickly did as he was told, apologizing to Shen Ningning several times.
As the carriage swept past her, the Prime Minister caught a glimpse of Shen Ningning's small figure through the gap in the curtain.
However, due to the glare of the sun, he couldn't see her face clearly.
Shen Ningning turned to watch the carriage enter the Imperial Palace.
'Uncle Prime Minister... He's so nice. He even gave me silver,' she murmured sweetly.
'Looks like in the whole Imperial Palace, only that Mo Changchong is a bad guy!'
Shen Ningning didn't keep the five taels of silver.
