I traveled through time and space to become the mistress of a royal palace. My daily routine is to a

When the ministers saw that a fight had broken out, they hurriedly tried to pull the two men apart. Even though Lord Lin was old, he used quite a bit of strength.

Song Chengfeng is much younger than Lord Lin, and as they are both scholars, he should have the upper hand.

However, due to his excessive indulgence in sexual activities, he was thin and weak, so he was beaten by Lord Lin.

In fact, such physical fights happened frequently in the imperial court. It was natural that a group of civil officials who were good at talking would have disagreements on political views.

If one party cursed too harshly or couldn't win the argument, they would start fighting, but this was the first time that a fight had been caused by such an issue.

"Alright! One by one, you are officials appointed by the imperial court! How disgraceful of you to tear each other apart like a village woman!"

"I will punish you!"

"I am innocent. It was Lord Lin who beat me. Your Majesty, please make the decision!"

"You are wronged? You let your daughter Chen Tang all the time. You are not worthy of being a father!"

The emperor was so angry that he threw the gavel directly onto Lord Lin's head, and Lord Lin's official hat was immediately knocked off.

"You are crazy today!"

Having an official hat smashed off is a great shame and humiliation, and it is even more of a big deal for a scholar like Lord Lin.

While people around were gloating, Lord Lin did not pick up his official hat and put it on. He just walked forward and knelt down.

"Your Majesty! I have been an official for forty years, always working diligently and conscientiously, and have never done anything that goes against my conscience!"

The emperor also felt a little regretful. He smashed it because he was angry, but he could not admit his mistake.

How could the emperor be wrong? If he was wrong, he would be right!

"I know"

"I have been married to my wife for many years, but we have only one daughter. It is my daughter's fortune to have a daughter who can give birth to a child for the royal family."

"I have already raised Lin Wantang's position!" So what else are you dissatisfied with?

"My daughter has passed away, and my wife died of grief before me, so I am going to retire and return home today. I beg the emperor for permission!"

Lord Lin bowed his head to the ground. He no longer had any desires. The reason he dared to do such a thing today was because he didn't want to be this official anymore.

"I will grant you a marriage, just marry a wife, why do you want to return home?"

"Your Majesty, I no longer wish to marry again. Today, I beg Your Majesty for the last time to forgive the princess!"

The emperor looked deeply at the old man with white hair, and finally sighed. "Well, let him be."

"I have approved it. Concubine Ru's child has been taken care of by Concubine Shun. You can rest assured."

"I thank the Lord for His grace."

Lord Lin kowtowed again, picked up his official hat on the ground, and slowly walked out of the palace.

The emperor has three palaces and six courtyards and countless concubines. How can he understand the love between others who have been supporting each other since youth until old age?

Lord Lin and his wife were a young couple. Mrs. Lin had never been able to give birth to children, but Lord Lin insisted on not taking a concubine.

She finally gave birth to a daughter, Lin Wantang, when she was in her forties. Many people secretly laughed at Mrs. Lin for giving birth to a pearl after an old clam gave birth to a pearl.

But Lord Lin didn't care. He treated her like the apple of his eye, and the family of three lived a very happy life.

Now that his daughter and wife were gone, what was the point of him being an official? Fame, wealth, and money, there was no one to share them with.

So Lord Lin planned to return home early in the morning. Today he made a fuss just to try his best to avoid punishment for Song Qingwan.

The emperor took off his official hat and took this opportunity to express his thoughts. The emperor would also approve it out of guilt towards the Lin family.

It has to be said that Lord Lin made the right bet, and the emperor really spared Song Qingwan from punishment.

Zhao Huaijin did not attend court today. As soon as the Yan family got the news, they notified Prince Huai's Palace.

"They deliberately took advantage of my absence to cause trouble. How despicable!"

"It's okay. Even Chen Tang can't hurt me."

Song Qingwan has a space, and Chen Tang is fine too. At worst, she can just hide in the space.

However, Zhao Huaijin did not think it was that simple. The emperor would naturally not blame Chen Tang, but he would suppress the Yan family, thus implicate Concubine Shun and her two children.

The Lan family had planned this from the beginning, but Lord Lin's move disrupted the progress of the matter.

"Awu, you go and escort Master Lin all the way back home."

"Yes, Master."

No one can guarantee that the Lan family will not take action halfway, so Zhao Huaijin has to be on guard.

Song Qingwan began to worry about Shen Jingyi. Would he be implicated by this?

Before the emperor could come up with a way to punish Shen Jingyi, the Cui family was massacred.

At this moment, Shen Jingyi was kneeling in the imperial study waiting for the emperor's orders. In the capital, a family massacre had occurred right under the emperor's feet. This matter was extremely serious.

"Shen Jingyi, investigate this thoroughly for me! I want to see who is so bold!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your order."

Shen Jingyi stood up and walked out, but was stopped by the emperor.

"Jingyi, I know what's on your mind, but you need to control yourself."

"I understand. I didn't think about anything I shouldn't have."

"That's good. After a while, I will arrange a marriage for you. After so many years, it's time for the Shen family to have a new child."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I have no intention of marrying a wife."

"Forget it, go ahead, we'll talk about this later."

"Yes."

The emperor felt guilty towards Shen Jingyi. The Shen family had originally intended to let Shen Jingyi gain experience in the army because Shen Jingyi was obviously a talented general.

However, the emperor's regime was unstable at that time, and he naturally did not dare to allow his relatives by marriage to have too much power, so he rejected the Shen family's request.

The empress dowager also understood the emperor's thoughts. She felt sorry for her younger brother, but she could not do anything. The emperor was her son, and she was in a difficult situation.

It was not until after his parents passed away that Shen Jingyi suddenly agreed to stay in the capital and serve as a minister in the Dali Temple.

The Shen family has no one, and Shen Jingyi is the emperor's cousin, so the emperor naturally trusts him 100%

So Shen Jingyi actually inherited his father's title and became the Minister of Dali Temple, so his status was extremely noble.

However, he declined several marriage proposals from the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, and lived alone all the time, rarely even returning to the Marquis' Mansion, but staying in the Dali Temple.

As time went on, many people forgot that Shen Jingyi was a marquis.

After Shen Jingyi returned, he ordered people to transport all the bodies of Cui's family back to the Dali Temple, and then found a coroner to examine them.

"Sir, there are too many bodies. The coroner can't examine them all."

"We have to test it even if we can't. We can't disobey the emperor's order."

"How about you, my Lord, please invite Princess Huai to help us check..."

Before his subordinate could finish speaking, Shen Jingyi kicked him directly. Isn't this just causing trouble?

"At this time, you are still looking for Princess Huai. Do you want her to be killed?"

"Yes, yes, I admit my guilt."

Shen Jingyi kicked again. He was used to being lazy all day long, and now he always asked for foreign aid. He really deserved to be punished.

"Others are afraid of Chen Tang, but I am not. Lord Shen, when have I ever been so timid?"
