With his hands behind his back, he ate a melon, and the country's fortune soared.

When Tan saw that they were talking so much, Emperor Mingde kept a gloomy face and didn't say a word. He looked at the little princess with an increasingly sinister look.

[Little Princess,] the system's voice was unprecedentedly indifferent, [That Tan is very bad. She is now 92 years old, and dozens of babies have died in her hands.]

Xiao Qianqian...

The little guy angrily waved his fist at Tan, [How could this old man be so mean? ]

[Yes, she is extremely bad. When she was young, she had no psychological burden to hurt others in order to consolidate her position. Now that she is old, she likes to torture her daughter-in-law even more.]

[More than a dozen young wives died at her hands. Sigh.] The system sighed. [But she has a high status among the royal family members, so no one dares to ask her for justice.]

Xiao Qianqian narrowed his eyes and looked at his father, "This depends on my father. If he dares to protect this old man, I will never forgive him."

Emperor Mingde...

Don't worry, your father won't and dare not do that.

He looked at Tan with gloomy eyes, "Grandma, you are old now, you should cultivate yourself and improve your character. You don't need to worry about my affairs."

Tan gritted her teeth, and stared at Xiao Qianqian with a pair of droopy triangular eyes. "Your Majesty, how is the Queen Mother? She was seriously ill a few days ago. I wonder if she is doing well now? It can't be that Your Majesty is deliberately torturing my own mother for some people?"

"Bold."

Emperor Mingde's voice was not loud, but it contained a hint of pressure. However, Tan was not afraid at all. She was already 92 years old, and she did not believe that Emperor Mingde would dare to do anything to her.

On the surface, Emperor Mingde certainly wouldn't do anything to Tan. Given Tan's status and age, nothing good would come of it no matter what he did. But there are so many ways to deal with people secretly, aren't there?

"Humph," Emperor Mingde sneered, "Come here, my great-aunt is tired, send her back home."

After saying this, without waiting for Tan's reaction, an old nanny and a palace maid took Tan out of the imperial study.

At this time, Tan still didn't know that her house was surrounded by the Imperial Guards. The crime that had been covered up by the years would eventually be exposed...

Prince Liang, Prince Jing and Sima Jie exchanged glances. Sima Jie suddenly felt something was wrong and looked at Prince Lian and Ouyang Qin with an unfriendly look.

Today they clearly agreed to work together and force Emperor Mingde to punish the little princess and revoke his order to confer the title of Crown Prince on her.

But these two old guys remained silent. Thinking back to the situation in their palace, he was suddenly shocked. Could it be that these two old guys were pretending to obey but actually disobeying his orders?

At this time, Prince Lian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly knelt down in front of Emperor Mingde and said, "Your Majesty, my three sons died early, and now Prince Lian's mansion only has seven granddaughters. The oldest is twenty years old, and the youngest is only ten years old."

"Over the years, I have raised my granddaughters as boys. My eldest granddaughter, Xiao Yan, has learned the unique double sword skills of the Ouyang family, a martial arts family. She is also quite talented in arranging troops and battle formations."

"I beg Your Majesty to confer Xiao Yan the title of the Crown Prince of the Lian Palace. I beg Your Majesty to give Xiao Yan a chance so that she can achieve great things and defend her country like the men of Daxia."

When Prince Lian finished speaking, he actually burst into tears.

There are always people in the capital who don't understand the situation. They say that Prince Lian's mansion is very blessed and that God has sent seven fairies to his mansion.

These words were nothing but ridicule and sarcasm, how could he not know that?

It was thought that his granddaughters, who were no less capable than boys, would never have the opportunity to show their talents in their lives.

However, Emperor Mingde named Mo Shiyin as the prince of the Duke of Yan, which gave him hope. He wanted to let the world see that none of the daughters of his Prince Lian's Mansion were bad.

Emperor Mingde's inky black face finally eased a little, and Xiao Qianqian in his arms also became a little excited.

[Tongzi, how about Xiao Yan? ]

[She's fine,] The system also came back to its senses from its anger. In this short period of time, it has thought of ninety-nine eighty-one ways to deal with Tan and those old men. It was still a little angry when it spoke. [Originally, when Daxia was caught in the flames of war, Xiao Yan led the sisters to disguise themselves as men and went to the battlefield. They fought for several years and died on the battlefield defending their country.]

[Alas,] Xiao Qianqian sighed, [How can such a good girl be buried? What about that Tan? Is there any way to deal with her?]

[Little princess, don't worry. Your father has already taken action. The Tan family has been thrown into prison. There is no need to be afraid of them. They will all be beheaded or exiled.]

【Well, that’s more like it. 】

Emperor Mingde listened to his little girl's voice and thought for a while, "Uncle Lian, please stand up. Let Xiao Yan go to Fengqi Palace to meet the Empress. If she is really a good child, I will do as you wish and let her inherit the Lian Palace. What's wrong with that?"

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

Prince Lian's heart was beating wildly with excitement. After receiving the Emperor Mingde's order, he immediately took his leave and hurried back to the mansion to ask the maid Yan'er to prepare to meet the Empress.

Ouyang Tan...

That old bastard, didn’t they agree that the two of them would act together?

Why didn't that old man wait for him?

An inhuman thing, plop.

Ouyang Qin also knelt down and bowed to Emperor Mingde. "Your Majesty, I was injured when I was young, and I was over 40 when I had a daughter. Now I beg Your Majesty to pass the throne of the Prince of Luozhou to Ouyang Nanxin."

Emperor Mingde grinned. It would be better if there were more female princes and princesses. He nodded, "I understand. Let Ouyang Nanxin go to Fengqi Palace as well."

"Thank you Lord for your grace."

After saying that, Ouyang Qin also respectfully withdrew, and the Prince of Liang, Prince of Jing, and Sima Jie who stayed in the imperial study...

How could this matter turn out this way?

Prince Lian and Ouyang Qin, two old scoundrels, as men, don't they have any integrity and temper?

They actually tolerate the hens crowing at dawn. They are crazy. Those two old guys are really crazy.

"Ahem," Emperor Mingde coughed dryly, signaling Lin Jiu, who had just returned to the imperial study, to present the evidence to the three princes one by one.

When King Liang, King Jing and Sima Jie saw the thick pile of evidence, their faces suddenly turned dark. They were finished.

Emperor Mingde looked at the three people with a smile, "Prince Liang has been selling illegal salt and raising bandits over the years. He is rich enough to rival a country."

King Liang knelt down trembling, "Your Majesty,"

Before he could finish, Emperor Mingde spoke again, "Prince Jing is no better. He has occupied the river and collected customs duties privately. In your fiefdom, the people only know you, Prince Jing, Xiao Yi, but not me, Xiao Chengxi. Prince Jing has great power."

Teng.

King Jing’s eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.

Emperor Mingde turned his eyes to Sima Jie, "The 50,000 soldiers and horses hidden by the King of Dengzhou in Dengzhou must cost a lot of money to support, right? No wonder he wants to open several private mines."

Sima Jie looked at Emperor Mingde coldly. He bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, what a good move."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind," Emperor Mingde pretended to be profound. He stood up holding Xiao Qianqian and glared at Sima Jie coldly, "I have been wanting to deal with certain people for a long time. Some people have personally handed me evidence. If I don't catch it, wouldn't it be a pity?"

"Haha," Sima Jie laughed bitterly and bowed again, "It is not a loss for me to live to the age of 93, but Your Majesty, remember to cut off the roots."

"Don't worry," Emperor Mingde walked out of the imperial study, "I will definitely get rid of it completely."

Hahahaha, Qianyue's secret guards are really useful, I'm proud...
