Seeing that his situation was hopeless, Master Zhong resigned himself to his fate, closing his eyes and allowing the guards brought by Yan Yu to tie him up.

At this time, the battle between the eldest princess and Heisha was coming to an end.

During this period, Heisha had been attacking the eldest princess desperately. Although the eldest princess's fighting ability was a little weaker than Heisha's, her posture was very light.

After a while, Heisha's moves were disrupted, and he began to panic and wanted to end the battle quickly, but the eldest princess did not give him any chance and kept flying around using her lightness skills.

Finally, when Heisha was trying his best to chop and kill again, the eldest princess seized the opportunity and kicked Heisha to the ground.

Yan Yu hurried forward and placed the sword across Heisha's neck, and asked the guards to tie him up. The eldest princess also landed steadily with the folding fan in her hand.

"Where is General Yan?"

"I am here, please give me your orders, Princess!"

"Put Zhong Qingshu, who is marked as treason, in jail and wait for his punishment!"

"Yes!"

"And this assassin from a foreign country sneaked into our Great Saint Dynasty and killed our Great Saint country's citizens in broad daylight. His crime is unforgivable! Take him back and torture him to extract a confession. He must be severely punished!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

At this time, all the people standing outside the door applauded and cheered at the same time.

"Princess is mighty!"

"Well done, Princess! This is the kind of person in power that our Great Saint Dynasty needs!"

"Who says women are inferior to men? The princess's actions today have convinced the people!"

"Long live the princess!" A young man standing in the front suddenly knelt down.

At this time, the people around were very excited and they all knelt on the ground together.

"Long live the Princess!"

"The assassin in Pingshan has been eliminated today, and the Zhong family has been executed. Everyone can live in peace without any worries!"

The eldest princess' voice was calm and full of energy, and her words were decisive and convincing.

Every citizen had a gratified smile on his face. Even the leaders who had previously strongly opposed the eldest princess's rule stood in the crowd and lowered their heads silently.

After all, we are all ordinary people, and all we hope for is a wise monarch to lead the country and bring them a stable and peaceful life.

In the past, most people who opposed the eldest princess only opposed her because of her identity as a woman, and they did not believe in her ability and determination to seek the welfare of the people.

The fact that the eldest princess personally went out today to capture the assassin and also took down the tough nut to crack, Zhong Qingshu, says it all.

The eldest princess was absolutely worthy of the emperor, so everyone tacitly agreed and stopped objecting.

Finally, the eldest princess brought Heisha back to the palace amid waves of praise.

Yan Yu took Zhong Qingshu and his minions and threw them all into Zhitian Prison to await the princess's decision.

In Prince Huai's mansion, Chunya described all these events to Song Qingwanwan in vivid detail. Song Qingwan listened calmly, nodded from time to time, and patted Zhao Youan who was already asleep.

However, Concubine Shun who was sitting next to her opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect that Princess Jiayi had become so powerful now.

"Wan'er, why aren't you surprised? Did you expect this?"

"Mother, you are praising me too much. How could I have predicted so many things? I just gave the princess a little reminder before this."

Recently, the eldest princess has been having a headache about how to deal with the Zhong family. It’s not that the eldest princess is afraid of the power of the Zhong family, but she wants to maximize the benefits of this matter.

Song Chengfeng is dead, the power of the Song family has been dispersed, and all those followers have automatically disbanded.

But the Zhong family is still there. Although the Zhong family has become much quieter than before and its strength is not as strong as before, it is still the first candidate that the eldest princess wants to target.

But if Zhong Qingshu was simply arrested on the day of his enthronement, it would obviously be intended to intimidate the ministers.

If one is unsure of the right moment, he will lose his prestige in front of the officials, which will inevitably make them feel sad for themselves. This will not be good for his future administration.

But if Zhong Qingshu was killed secretly, the princess would not be willing to give in. After all, it was not easy to collect evidence of treason, so the matter had been delayed until now.

It was not until a few days ago when Song Qingwan went to the palace to examine the eldest princess and saw that she was worried, that she asked her about it.

The eldest princess was very annoyed, so she told Song Qingwan about these things and asked for her opinion.

Song Qingwan pondered for a moment, then said slowly:

“Coming from the people, we must return to the people.

The Zhong family climbed up from the bottom, so it is best to use him to win the hearts of the people."

This sentence woke the eldest princess up, and the situation immediately became clear.

So that night, the eldest princess secretly captured Tuoba Jun and locked him up in the palace. That's why Heisha couldn't find him anywhere and in a rage he went to the Zhong family to ask for his release.

This led to the event where the princess personally captured Heisha to avenge the death of the Zhong family servants, and then captured Zhong Qingshu.

The person who stood in front of the team and shouted that the princess was wise was arranged by Song Qingwan.

The fact that Zhong Qingshu has achieved his current success and status is already despised by many scholars in the world. This is all the result of the cancer left behind by the previous emperor.

If the princess dealt with Zhong Qingshu in front of all the people in the world and avenged the innocent people who died, then her image of loving the people like her own children and being fair and honest would surely be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

After this matter spreads, a large number of scholars will see hope and will participate in the imperial examinations with confidence and willingness to serve the eldest princess.

Although those dead servants of the Zhong family were innocent, this is the game between those in power, and some sacrifices are inevitable.

As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. This is the result of following the wrong master.

Heisha was directly locked up in the explosion room by the eldest princess. She ordered Jinxin to use whatever means to get everything Heisha knew out of him, and just make sure he was not killed.

"Yes, Princess." After receiving the order, Jin Xin went down to do the work in a hurry.

Since the eldest princess took charge of the government, she allowed Li Fuquan to retire and return home, and rewarded him with a large sum of silver before he left.

Li Fuquan served the late emperor all his life with all his heart and soul. When he got old, the princess gave him the best place to go.

Later, Li Fuquan thanked the princess with gratitude and left the palace.

The person who has taken over all of Li Fuquan's affairs now is Jin Xin. Jin Xin is now the first female official under the eldest princess. She is ruthless, clean and efficient in her work, and never drags her feet.

One can imagine how miserable Heisha's end will be.

According to the eunuchs and palace maids who were on duty around the explosion room, the assassin's howling almost never stopped since Aunt Jinxin entered.

The sound was like the cry of a ghost, extremely creepy.

After the court session that day, the eldest princess sat in the imperial study to review memorials as usual. Jin Xin walked in from outside and quietly stepped forward to report.

"Princess, the Third Prince of Dongyue must see you... He said he would die if he couldn't see you again."

"Then let him die."

The eldest princess answered calmly, still painting with her brush, with no intention of stopping.

But Jin Xin did not leave. She stood there quietly, as if she had something to hide.

The eldest princess stopped writing with the brush in her hand, looked up at Jin Xin and asked in confusion.

"But what else is going on?"

"Princess, you should go and take a look... The maids who are responsible for serving the Third Prince have been replaced several times..."

"Why? But he was dishonest and molested those girls?"

"No, he just drinks and swears all day long..."

"Is that true? Then go and take a look."

"Yes, princess."

Jin Xin seemed to have finally breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly followed the eldest princess and walked with her to the palace where Tuoba Jun was imprisoned.

Today, Tuoba Jun is being held under house arrest by the eldest princess in the place where the late emperor imprisoned the deposed concubine in the cold palace. The area around this palace is extremely desolate and dilapidated.

I think Tuoba Jun is used to the comfortable life in Dongyue Kingdom and cannot accept such a gap for a while.

It took the princess nearly half an hour to reach her destination. As soon as she entered the palace, she heard cursing from inside.

"Zhao Jiayi, you are such a heartless woman? I caught you but you didn't come to see me. What do you want to do?"

It turned out that the person being scolded was the eldest princess. No wonder the palace maids were afraid to listen.
