The arrogant imperial concubine arrives, the favorite of the regent

That night, in a city far away from the capital, a carriage drove quickly on the deserted streets and then stopped in front of a small inn.

The secret guards of the Emperor's Dragon Staff Team were extremely excited. They had been chasing for several days and finally saw the carriage carrying Doctor Wu and his daughter. This carriage was the one that the driver of the Riye Mansion drove away from the capital.

A secret guard leader gave an order: "Go! I want them alive!"

The secret guards didn't have time to think, and rushed forward with swords. They had a clear division of labor, one part stopped the horses, and the other surrounded the carriage and cut off the curtains with swords.

However, there was no one in the carriage! There was no driver, and the horses had stopped in front of the inn on their own.

A faint fragrance diffused from the car.

The leader of the secret guards suddenly felt something was wrong and shouted, "Oh no! There's..." He didn't even say the word "explosion" when he caught a glimpse of a black shadow passing by and his throat was cut by a sword.

The leader covered his neck which was gushing with blood, and his eyes widened in disbelief. In just a moment, he was killed!

The secret guards were shocked and prepared for battle.

One after another, dark shadows flashed by, and wherever they passed, there were flashes of swords and blood splattered everywhere.

The Dragon Staff Team's secret guards hadn't even made a move when they died with their eyes wide open. Without exception, all the secret guards were killed.

Then, the group of men in black quickly dragged away all the bodies and cleaned up the scene. Except for the faint smell of blood in the air, no one could tell that a battle had taken place here...

The next morning, the emperor held his morning court as usual, but today's court was particularly noisy. The officials quarreled incessantly, and the sounds of arguing, cursing, and quarreling were endless.

Somehow, overnight, the residences of various officials received some letters, which contained evidence of corruption and laziness of other officials.

Official resources are limited, but the number of officials is controllable.

The official who obtained the evidence reported to the emperor, and was eager to accuse and bring down his rival officials.

The various major institutions of the court also received a large number of anonymous reports, such as the Imperial City Department, the Dali Temple, the Privy Council, etc. The matter was of great importance, and the institutions that received the report letters could only report the letters.

"Master Li, you have been in a high position for many years, but I didn't expect you to embezzle your subordinates' money!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Lord Wang, don't think I don't know that you often accept bribes from the people and have raped women!"

"General Ma, I didn't expect you to have withheld your subordinates' salaries?"

"You... you are simply slandering me! Minister Yu, not only did you enrich yourself, but your lifestyle is also extremely corrupt!"

Some officials even started fighting during the argument.

"Look! I won't tear your stinky mouth apart!"

"You are such a person, how can you be an official? Go to hell!"

"You are a useless man who lives off your wife!"

...

Things got more and more serious, and the emperor could not bear it any longer. He grabbed the whisk from Eunuch Li's hand and threw it hard.

"Oh!"

An official who was hit on the forehead screamed, "Who is it?" He looked up and saw that the emperor had not yet retracted his throwing gesture.

The emperor was angry: "What if it's me!"

His eyes were wide open, and he looked down at the people below with anger.

"You all want to die, don't you?"

His majestic voice surrounded everyone's ears, and the people below were startled. Regardless of whether they participated in the quarrel or not, they all knelt down and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I dare not!"

The scene suddenly became quiet, and the emperor looked coldly at the kneeling crowd: "The matter has not been clarified yet, and you are scared like this!" Even if he knew that the letters were real, he would not admit it.

Prime Minister Yun was just watching everyone arguing, but as the emperor's loyal lackey, he immediately stepped forward.

He kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is right! We cannot let groundless news disturb our hearts."

Some officials echoed this, fearing that the emperor would punish them.

The Right Prime Minister had always been righteous and in a neutral position in the court. No one had reported him, and he had not received any negative information from others.

He said, "Your Majesty, this matter concerns court officials and the people, so we still need to investigate it thoroughly!"

Yun Xiang glanced at the Right Xiang with disdain and dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he still said: "The Right Xiang is right."

"Please be patient! I will investigate this matter." The emperor felt a headache and pressed his temple. "This is the end of today's morning court session. Everyone, please leave."

"Yes! Farewell to the Emperor!" Everyone saluted and shouted in unison.

Soon after Yun Mujiu finished his breakfast, he lay listlessly on the bed, listening quietly to the four little girls talking.

They were chattering away, with somewhat excited expressions on their faces, and the content of their conversations was related to Doctor Wu and his daughter.

Wu Mingwei was seriously injured yesterday and was detained in the woodshed. Doctor Wu was allowed to visit Wu Mingwei the next day. Wu Mingwei was hanging on to her last breath, with multiple fractures and injuries, as well as severe internal injuries. She must never dare to make trouble again.

Yun Mujiu did not express any thoughts. She had already done what she should do - beat up Wu Mingwei. After Ye Xiaohan recovered, she would deal with Doctor Wu and his daughter again...

"Hey, why isn't Fu Qian here?" Yun Mujiu hadn't seen Fu Qian since this morning.

Dong Yu replied, "Princess, Fu Qian went to see General Wei. General Wei was beaten with fifty boards yesterday. He was seriously injured and almost died."

"Fifty lashes?" Yun Mujiu was surprised. "Didn't they say that according to military law, the punishment is thirty lashes?"

Chunlan replied, "It was originally thirty strokes of the cane, but the prince said that according to military law, twenty more strokes should be imposed. Because General Wei had been guarding Chenxiang Courtyard and neglected to supervise Doctor Wu and his daughter, this indirectly led to the failure to discover their actions in time, which led to a series of consequences. The prince said that we must be impartial and impartial, and if we want to punish, we must punish them decisively."

Yun Mujiu said "hmm" with a calm expression. She believed that Ye Xiaohan had given Wei Song a chance, but Wei Song was stubborn and it would be good for him to be punished and learn his lesson.

Xia He didn't know that Wei Song had been beaten so many times, and asked in surprise: "After fifty strokes of the cane, can General Wei still survive?"

Qiu Tang whispered, "If it weren't for General Wei's good physique, he might have died before the beating was completed. But General Wei was seriously injured and had a high fever all night."

"Master Wei Bo asked the prince for mercy, saying, 'After the punishment is completed, can you please ask someone to treat the injury?' Doctor Fu and Doctor Wu were giving the prince acupuncture together, so Master Wei Bo asked Fu Qian to go over and take a look."

Chunlan saw Yun Mujiu's calm expression and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Let the princess have a good rest."

The other three maids nodded and retreated together.

Yun Mujiu smiled helplessly. Wei Song's condition had nothing to do with her now. Ye Xiaohan's legs were also being treated, so she was not needed. Even if she was asked to go for acupuncture, she couldn't do anything based on her injuries.

All she has to do now is take care of herself and heal her injuries.
