The stunning beauty is spoiled by the fast-wearing bosses

The next day, envoys from various countries left Beijing with different feelings.

At the same time, Xiahou Li issued an order for Yan Haochen to take immediate action against Marquis Anguo. This order was like a heavy bomb, causing a huge shock in the palace.

Marquis Anguo, the once august and powerful nobleman, has now become a prisoner.

The charge of treason hung over him and his family like a sharp sword.

In an instant, all 256 members of the Anguo Marquis family were imprisoned, and the entire family fell into panic and despair.

There were quite a few people in the hall who were complaining about Marquis Anguo. Xiahou Li stared at these people, took note of them one by one, and dealt with them slowly without any rush.

General Wu was investigating the matter of Yan Bin's brother-in-law in a hurry, hoping to vent his anger for his son. However, he stopped his investigation immediately when he heard the news that Marquis Anguo had been arrested.

He was terrified, fearing that he would be the next one.

He sent a letter to the palace to advise the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother Wu said she was not feeling well and refused to summon him.

General Wu knew it was all over.

Since Empress Dowager Wu was banished to the cold palace last time, she has often knelt before the Buddha after meeting Xiahou Li.

He has grown up after all.

General Wu has been anxious and irritated these days, and even has big blisters on his mouth. He doesn't know when the knife will fall.

He knew that truth would come to light, but he still held on to a glimmer of hope. However, when the imperial edict was delivered to him, his hopes were completely shattered.

When he knelt there trembling as he listened to the imperial edict, he learned that he had been dismissed from his official position for corruption and all his property had been confiscated.

He was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and knelt on the ground for a long time without getting up. His Majesty finally let their family go this time.

Wu Tingwei was also dismissed from office and imprisoned for his involvement.

General Wu had made many military achievements at the border and fought for the country, so he should have been rewarded and promoted. However, due to the involvement of General Wu, he was demoted three levels after consideration.

This is already the best outcome. Your Majesty still cares about family affection after all.

After the imperial edict was issued,

Wu Lingyue moved out of the Taiwei Mansion with his family. Except for Taiwei Wu and his eldest son, no one else in the entire Taiwei Mansion was convicted.

Wu Lingyue smiled bitterly, feeling mixed emotions.

The system was also reporting to Yan Xue about what was happening outside. Yan Xue smacked her lips and said, "Xia Hou Li was quite decisive this time. He dealt with these people so quickly."

At this time, Xiahou Li was standing in Shoukang Palace. He looked at his mother who was kneeling in front of the Buddha and gently called out, "Mother, I have confiscated the Wu family."

The Queen Mother paused as she heard this, closed her eyes, and continued to twirl the beads, "Spare their lives."

Xiahou Li smiled wickedly after hearing this, "You want me to adopt Xiahou Jie. I know that's because of your Wu family's bloodline, but mother, I have always respected you, but why did you give me that drug that will kill my heir?"

Empress Dowager Wu's expression was originally calm, but at this moment, a trace of astonishment appeared on her face. Her eyes, which were originally a little tired, suddenly widened at this moment, as if they were pricked by something.

The string of the Buddhist beads she was twisting in her hand suddenly broke, and the round beads scattered all over the ground. This sudden change shocked her heart.

She still knelt there quietly, without moving, as if time had stopped at this moment.

The air around them also became heavy. "You know everything?"

"Yes, I know how many people were close to me in the palace back then, and who could have given me that kind of drug without anyone noticing.

My mother, although you have raised me by your side, how sincere are you to me?"

Empress Dowager Wu's stiff back suddenly bent down, and she knelt on the ground. "Your mother was just a lowly palace maid. How could I be willing to give birth to a child she gave birth to?"

Xiahou Li burst into laughter when he heard this. "But mother, I have treated you as my own mother since I was a child. Why do you treat me like this?"

Empress Dowager Wu's lips trembled a few times, and finally she closed her eyes, straightened her back again, and knelt down to worship the Buddha.

Xiahou Li looked at the empress dowager's back, his calm eyes showing no emotion at all, "I will spare their lives." Then he flicked his sleeves and left Shoukang Palace.

Empress Dowager Wu felt that the people behind her had gone far away, so she knelt down again and sobbed softly, "Emperor, I was wrong after all."

When Xiahou Li returned to Fanghua Palace again, Yan Xue sensed his unhappiness, and quickly pulled Xiahou Li's hand, saying softly, "What's wrong? Who made you unhappy?"

Xiahou Li looked at the girl in front of him and pulled her into his arms, "Xue'er, I only have you and our child left."

Yan Xue stroked Xiahou Li's hair again and again. She had already heard what happened in the system, and she felt a little sorry for this man.

She said gently, "Don't worry, I will give birth to many, many children for you, and you will be fed up with them by then."

Xiahou Li burst into laughter when he heard this, thinking Xue'er was teasing him again. He raised his hand and pinched the girl's smooth face, "You and these two children are the best gifts God has given me. I just hope you are well."

As time went by, the grand Spring Examination, like a grand banquet, gradually began.

The streets were filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere, and students flocked to the capital with their dreams and expectations.

In preparation for this crucial exam, Yan Bin only slept three hours a day, and the rest of the time was spent studying.

He didn't know who his sister had married, and he was full of doubts about the man's identity.

Besides, who would marry a wife in such a hurry without even holding a ceremony? However, their family was financially limited and could not change anything.

Yan Bin silently told himself that no matter what, he would be a strong support for his sister.

Two days later, Yan Bin packed his bag and entered the examination center. Yan's father, mother, and Yan Shan were all outside to see him off.

Although Yan Xue wanted to come, she was seven or eight months pregnant, and Xiahou Li would not agree no matter what.

Finally, Pai Cuixi came over and brought some food, which Yan Bin brought into the examination room.

Yan's mother was very happy to see Cui Xi coming, and kept asking about Xiao Xue's news. Cui Xi told her everything she could, and Yan's mother felt relieved.

Time passed quietly in the tense atmosphere, and the curtain of the Spring Examination gradually fell.

Yan Bin walked out of the examination room. Chen Zhong hurriedly trotted forward and took off the bag on Yan Bin. Yan's mother felt distressed when she saw her son's haggard face after just a few days.
