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

Shen Jingyi didn't have to work hard this time, Lan Cheng'an confessed everything, even telling her how he favored the concubines in his backyard.

After signing the final agreement, Song Qingwan was kind enough to prescribe some hemostatic medicine for Lan Chengan, who took it with many thanks.

Shen Jingyi was holding the complaint with such laughter that his face was about to break. Thinking back to what had just happened, he began to sympathize with Prince Huai again. He wondered what kind of miserable life the prince would have to live in the future.

In fact, Shen Jingyi was really worrying too much. Song Qingwan was not a lunatic. She loved Zhao Huaijin so much that she couldn't bear to hurt him.

"Thank you so much for your help today, Miss Song. I can finally hand in my work."

"Mr. Shen is so polite. I'll give these to you."

Song Qingwan handed the small box in her hand to Shen Jingyi. Shen Jingyi opened it and saw cockroaches again!

"This... I'll find a way to deal with it later. However, I'm curious where did Miss Song get the rats and cockroaches?"

Song Qingwan stopped, turned around and smiled.

"I brought the mice myself, and as for the cockroaches... I caught them from Lord Shen's place."

Shen Jingyi's expression suddenly changed. If there were so many of them just by catching them, wouldn't that mean...

"Master Shen, I'm leaving now. See you later."

Song Qingwan was very satisfied with Shen Jingyi's performance and walked out of the Dali Temple with brisk steps.

"Someone! Someone, come quickly! Get ready to catch cockroaches!"

...

Song Qingwan came up with this idea as soon as she entered the room. She knew that people like Lan Chengan were used to a life of luxury. Although he could endure the punishment, he might not be able to resist such disgusting bugs.

She had indeed caught the cockroach in Shen Jingyi's yamen, and as for the scorpion, she had just caught one. This made Song Qingwan realize that Lord Shen really needed a thorough cleaning.

She felt that Shen Jingyi should thank her, otherwise his office might become a cockroach nest one day.

Shen Jingyi didn't have time to thank Song Qingwan at the moment, because he was in the imperial study feeling the pressure from the emperor.

At this moment in the imperial study, Shen Jingyi was kneeling on the ground. It was so quiet around him that one could hear a pin drop.

Ever since Shen Jingyi handed over Lan Chengan's confession, the emperor had remained silent. Shen Jingyi didn't even dare to raise his head. He didn't dare to think about how angry the emperor would be after reading it.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden "bang" and the emperor threw the petition in his hand onto the table.

"Humph! What a great Lan family! Are they planning to rebel? Shen Jingyi!"

"Chen is here!"

"Cut Lan Cheng'an to pieces for me. I don't care what method you use. Find his family as soon as possible and kill them together!"

"Your Majesty means... all..."

"It will be difficult to intimidate the Lan family if we don't treat them harshly! Go ahead and do it."

"Yes, I obey your order."

Shen Jingyi is the emperor's confidant, so he naturally understands his master's intention. The emperor wants to deal with the Lan family.

The Lan family is the queen's maternal family, that is, the lineage of Duke Chu.

Lan Cheng'an is the Queen's cousin and the legitimate son of the second master of the Lan family. He is so unscrupulous because he has the support of the Duke of Chu's Mansion and the Queen.

Back then, the old Duke of Chu, Lan Zhong, fought alongside the founding emperor to conquer the world and made great achievements, so he was granted the title of Duke. He is the only first-class meritorious family in the Great Sage Dynasty, and his descendants can inherit the title.

Later, the old Duke passed away, and the descendants of the Lan family became weaker and weaker with each generation. No one could continue the glory of the Lan family. However, the emperor still gave the Lan family the dignity they deserved and allowed them to continue to bear the title of Duke of Chu.

By the time of Queen Lan Mingyan's father's generation, there was not a single capable person among his descendants, so they asked for the position of Crown Princess for Lan Mingyan.

The Lan family hopes that Lan Mingyan can give birth to a legitimate son who will inherit the throne in the future and help the Lan family restore its former glory.

However, the Lan family had long been rotten from within, and its descendants had been amassing wealth in various places, oppressing the people, annexing land, and frantically plundering the people's wealth.

The emperor naturally heard about what the Lan family did, and he often criticized the Lan family. However, for the sake of Zhao Yujun's face, as long as they did not go too far, the emperor would turn a blind eye.

The emperor had high hopes for Zhao Yujun, and this son indeed satisfied him in every aspect.

But he didn't expect that his indulgence would make the Lan family so bold, and the emperor naturally could no longer sit idly by.

After sending Shen Jingyi away, the emperor took the confession and went directly to the queen's Zhengyang Palace.

The Queen was discussing the details of Zhao Yujun's marriage with the Shanggong Bureau in the palace at this time. Seeing the Emperor coming in with a gloomy face, she hurried forward to greet him.

"Your Majesty, how come you have time to come to my place today?"

"look by youself!"

The emperor threw the confession letter directly at the queen's face, and her face turned red.

"You all go down."

"Yes, Queen."

After everyone had left, the queen looked at the emperor with a wronged expression and asked in a questioning tone,

"Why is the emperor so angry? He must have been wronged by Concubine Yu..."

Before she could finish, the emperor interrupted her.

"Can you think of anything else? You are the queen, the mother of the country, not an ordinary woman in the backyard of a commoner's house!"

"But I don't know what I did wrong. Can Your Majesty tell me?"

"Your Lan family is so good! How dare a little heir of the Lan family kill my son!"

The queen had never seen the emperor so angry. She quickly picked up the paper on the ground and opened it to read line by line.

The more the queen looked at it, the more frightened she became. She kept shaking her head.

"No, no, my second brother would not do such a thing. He must have been wronged..."

"Unfair? Lan Mingyan, don't you really know how many shameful and dirty things your Lan family has done behind the scenes?"

"emperor…"

"I came here today just to save face for you and Jun'er. Go back and tell your father that if it happens again, I will massacre the Lan family!"

The queen was so scared that she collapsed on the ground. She knew all the evil things the Lan family had done. If they didn't do that, where would they get the money to win over people and bribe people? It was just that this plague exposed these things.

The Lan family received the news as soon as Lan Cheng'an was escorted back to Beijing, so they sent assassins to silence him. Otherwise, if he confessed, the entire Lan family would be affected.

However, they did not expect that Yan Yu would also return to Beijing, and they did not expect that Song Qingwan would appear.

The queen lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up. She was really scared. If the Lan family was finished, her position as queen would be over.

"Someone! Someone!"

The queen struggled to get up from the ground, staggered to the desk, and quickly wrote a letter.

"Miss."

"Go, find a way to deliver this letter to your father."

"Yes."

The palace maid took the letter and did not dare to delay, and ran all the way to deliver it.

After reading the Queen's handwritten letter, Duke of Chu Lan Feng slammed the table and stood up, slapping his son Lan Chengen, who was sitting below him, in the face.

"Useless thing! Can't do anything!"

Lan Chengen didn't dare to speak and just knelt on the ground to apologize.

"It's the son who is useless, father, please calm down."

"Go, check for me, why did Cheng An suddenly confess?"

"Yes."

"If I find out who he is, I will tear him into pieces!"
