My uncle is Zhu Di

Chapter 99: Revenge is a must (fourth update)

Xu Qin let out an "oh" and stood up, and Empress Xu felt even more uncomfortable.

My nephew has become estranged from me because I have wronged him. What should I do?
This is my eldest nephew, representing the Xu family. How can I go home to visit my parents in the future? Maybe my mother will be dissatisfied with me.

"Bao'er, I am sorry for you this time, but there is no other way. This matter involves deep involvement. The purpose of letting you in is to investigate it thoroughly. However, you don't need to be here now. The fleet is back and brings good news and considerable profits. His Majesty likes it very much, and so do the people in the court." Empress Xu came in front of Xu Qin and said softly, with a pleading tone in her voice.

Zhu Gaochi and Crown Princess Zhang heard this and looked at Xu Qin helplessly.

They both knew that Xu Qin had suffered a great injustice. He had been suffering injustice since he was eleven years old. Now he was no longer an official, but just wanted to do some business to make some money, but he still suffered injustice. The key point was that this injustice was caused by his father. Do you think I would not feel bad?

You're a married girl, and not only do you not help protect her, but you also let your eldest nephew suffer injustice. How can your family not have an opinion about this? Even if you are the queen, they won't do that.

Besides, this time Xu Qin was completely wronged on behalf of the royal family.

"Oh, you're back. That's good to see. Your Majesty, can I go out now?" Xu Qin stood there and said to Queen Xu.

When Empress Xu heard Xu Qin calling her "Empress" and referring to himself as a commoner, she was heartbroken!
Zhu Gaochi at the side said quickly: "Yes, yes, my mother came specially to take you out." As he spoke, he pushed the Crown Princess with his hand.

Crown Princess Zhang said quickly, "Shijiabao, during the time you were in the cell, your mother couldn't eat or sleep well every day. Knowing that you were wronged, your mother felt so distressed in the palace. Now you are alright, and your mother has come to pick you up specially."

"Yes, Baoer, I am sorry for what I have done to you. I admit it, but there is nothing I can do." Empress Xu pleaded with Xu Qin.

"Oh!" Xu Qin nodded, and Empress Xu looked at Xu Jingchang next to her. Xu Jingchang felt helpless, so he pushed Xu Qin and said, "Brother, would you like to ask Aunt to sit down and talk?"

"Oh, sit down!" Xu Qin nodded and gave up his seat.

Empress Xu sat down on the chair next to her, while Xu Qin and Xu Jingchang turned to face her.

"Bao'er, His Majesty is still investigating this matter. My aunt knows that you are being wronged for her this time. The eunuchs and female officials in the Weaving Bureau have implicated the eunuchs and female officials in the palace. If they are not cleared out, they will harm my aunt and His Majesty. In addition, those eunuchs and female officials may be involved with the civil officials, but there is no evidence, so the investigation is still ongoing.

Although we have dealt with those eunuchs and female officials now, we have no evidence against those civil officials outside. The Jinyiwei has also been looking for evidence. The fact that you suffered from the cold and hunger here that day was because a centurion did not report it, and that centurion committed suicide that night. They wanted to force you to death, but that centurion must have been instructed by someone.

But the Jinyiwei went to investigate and found no substantial evidence, so you, Baoer, have been detained here for so long." Empress Xu sat there and explained to Xu Qin.

After hearing this, Xu Qin nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and asked Empress Xu: "Can I go out and take revenge?"

"Revenge? On whom to take revenge?" Empress Xu looked at Xu Qin in confusion.

"Then don't ask. I can't sit here for nothing. You guys are responsible for cleaning up the mess, and I'm responsible for cleaning up the mess. Besides, the merchant ship is back this time, and it's estimated that it brought back a lot of profits. I also deserve some credit, right? Since I'm responsible for all the responsibilities, I should also have a share of the credit.

I know that His Majesty will not reward my family with anything. My family does not need money, and he dare not give me a title. "Xu Qin said while standing there.

"Hey hey hey. Don't talk nonsense." Zhu Gaochi immediately reminded Xu Qin.

"What are you afraid of? He would never give our family the title in the first place! So, I don't want the reward for my merit. I want to take revenge. My Xu family has suffered such a big loss, shouldn't I take revenge?" Xu Qin stood there, looking at Zhu Gaochi with contempt.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Empress Xu in embarrassment.

"Who are you seeking revenge on?" Empress Xu asked Xu Qin worriedly.

"Then don't ask. Even if you ask, I won't tell you. Telling you is not a good thing either." Xu Qin said while standing there.

Empress Xu frowned, then looked at Xu Qin and said, "Bao'er, auntie will talk to His Majesty and ask him to give you a reward."

"If it's not a title, then I don't want it. I have enough of other things. But without a title, it has no appeal to me." Xu Qin stood there and said firmly.

Empress Xu, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhang were all in a difficult situation.

"Anyway, I don't want any reward. Just let me take revenge. Let me kill a few people, five, say. My merit can offset the five lives of court ministers. Is that feasible?" Xu Qin continued to say to Zhu Gaochi.

"You want to kill the ministers in the court? That's not okay, that's not okay?" Zhu Gaochi said to Xu Qin anxiously. "Why not? You allowed them to plot against me and assassinate me, but I can't deal with them? You need to find a reason to deal with them in the court, but I don't need a reason to deal with them. You let me sit in jail for half a month without paying the price, is that okay?

I said I don't want any reward, money or official position, I don't want any, I am not interested, I just want to restore the title of my Xu family, don't tell me anything else." Xu Qin stared at Zhu Gaochi and asked.

"Bao'er, you are not allowed to do anything rash." Empress Xu looked at Xu Qin worriedly and said.

"I didn't do anything wrong. If you can't avenge me, I will do it myself. I know I can't count on you!" Xu Qin stood there and said to Queen Xu.

When Empress Xu heard this, she felt even more upset.

"Anyway, let me out and I will take revenge. I don't want any credit, but I will exchange it for the lives of five court ministers." Xu Qin stood there, raised his head, and said to Empress Xu.

"Bao'er, it's New Year's Day, you are not allowed to act silly." Empress Xu continued to persuade Xu Qin.

"They put me in jail, and they still want to celebrate the New Year? Let's forget about it." Xu Qin sneered. Celebrate the New Year? They still want to celebrate the New Year? I have so much grievances, who can I turn to? Let's forget about it.

"Sakyabao, my mother is really worried about you." Zhu Gaochi said helplessly to Xu Qin.

"I know, I'm not angry with my aunt!" Xu Qin nodded, knowing that it was almost time. Otherwise, Empress Xu would probably not be able to celebrate the New Year. Moreover, his attitude had been expressed. If he killed those ministers, Zhu Di would probably not dare to do anything to him.

"Bao'er, your aunt really wants to get to the bottom of the matter, that's why you're being wronged here. If you weren't here, they wouldn't come out and there would be no way to investigate." When Empress Xu heard that Xu Qin was not angry with her, her mood immediately improved. As for who he was angry with, Empress Xu knew it very well in her heart. It was not a big deal, as she was also angry with him.

"I know that they plotted against me and bullied you, my aunt. I want revenge. Otherwise, they would think that there is no one in my Xu family. Anyway, I don't want the credit. I will exchange it for five lives. Aunt, you talk to His Majesty. That's it." Xu Qin stood there and said to Queen Xu.

Empress Xu went over and held Xu Qin's hand. This time Xu Qin did not shake it off. He couldn't shake it off again. If he did, he would have no way to spend the new year with his aunt. He knew his position in his aunt's heart, and that was enough.

"Bao'er, we don't want to kill anyone. Your aunt will make you an earl first to help you transition, so that others won't bully you or look down on you." Empress Xu said to Xu Qin in a soft and kind voice.

Zhu Gaochi was sweating when he heard this. Can the Earl confer a title just by saying so? He really can confer a title just by saying so. Others can't do it, but I can.

"No, aunt. If I am granted a title, it will be difficult for me to work. I want revenge. Aunt, let's go back. I have to hurry. It's the New Year, and I can't let them have an easy time." Xu Qin said as he was about to pull Empress Xu up.

"Bao'er, don't do anything rash!" Empress Xu said anxiously.

Xu Qin stopped and asked Empress Xu, "Aunt, just tell me, can you kill Yu Shiji, Jiang Zuoxin, and Yuan Fu?"

"How do you know this?" Zhu Gaochi asked Xu Qin in shock.

"I'm not stupid. I won't investigate. Can you kill me?" Xu Qin said while looking at Zhu Gaochi.

"This requires evidence." Zhu Gaochi said in embarrassment.

"I don't need it!" Xu Qin said with a sneer.

Empress Xu stared at Zhu Gaochi and asked, "Are they involved?"

Zhu Gaochi glanced at Empress Xu, then nodded helplessly and said, "Maybe they were involved, but there is no evidence. The court needs evidence to deal with ministers, otherwise those censors will make a fuss."

"Really? When will you help me take revenge? I, Xu Qin, will take revenge right away." Xu Qin said to Zhu Gaochi with contempt.

Empress Xu stood there and thought for a while, then said, "Bao'er, you can take revenge, but if you want to kill them, you should do it through the court. You can go investigate first. Auntie doesn't care what method you use, as long as no one is killed. Okay?"

Xu Qin looked at Empress Xu.

Empress Xu continued to say to Xu Qin: "Merit is merit. We can't give up our merits and kill people because of them. Those merits belong to my Baoer, and no one can take them away. Aunt may not be able to restore your title now, but we can save them up, okay?"

"I'll try my best! But don't confer a title on me now, and don't make me an earl. I'll kill some people first, otherwise, they can impeach me. I'm just a commoner now, they can't do anything to me. Report to the police? Let's see who dares to arrest me!" Xu Qin nodded and said to Queen Xu.

After hearing this, Empress Xu laughed. She said, "That's right. As long as my nephew is a commoner, anyone who dares to arrest me will be released by me!"
