I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Your Majesty! Concubine Zhaoyi was poisoned and nearly died. I am her grandfather, how can I not be heartbroken!" General Su was extremely sad, his pale hair and beard trembling slightly. He slowly extended a finger and pointed directly at Lord Jiang who was kneeling beside him, "Mr. Jiang, look at the good daughter you have raised! Look at the good daughter you have raised!"

"Your Majesty! Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I will avenge my granddaughter!"

"I understand!" Xiao Heng looked at Lord Jiang who had been kneeling and silent from beginning to end with a stern expression, "Jiang Huai, I trust you and I am relieved to keep you by my side, but what about you? What did you do? Tell me what I should do, how should I deal with you, and how should I deal with the Jiang family!"

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, and I will never shirk my responsibility." Jiang Huai knelt straight and bowed to Old Master Su, "It was because I didn't know people well that I allowed the traitor to follow Concubine Li into the palace, and almost harmed Concubine Su."

"I will do my best to make amends. Please be at ease, Master Su."

"Be at ease! How can I be at ease!" Old Master Su glared at his beard angrily, turned around and knelt down in front of Xiao Heng: "Your Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to issue an order to sentence Concubine Li to death!"

"Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to issue an order to sentence Concubine Li to death!"

"Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty to issue an order to sentence Concubine Li to death!"

The Su family was a wealthy family, with at least seven or eight people serving as officials in the court. There were also many military generals and civil officials who were familiar to Xiao Heng, all of whom came forward to request that Xiao Heng order the death of Concubine Li.

Jiang Huai ignored them and just looked at Xiao Heng straight, as if waiting for Xiao Heng to make a decision.

The court was almost divided into three parties. One party was led by the Su family, who requested the death of Concubine Li. One party stood behind Jiang Huai and pleaded for her. The other party remained silent, waiting to watch them kill each other.

Among them, these three parties were almost in a three-way balance of power, dividing the entire court.

Xiao Heng watched them arguing back and forth. On the surface, they were waiting for his decision, but in fact, no one cared about his opinion as the emperor.

"Your Majesty! This matter was ultimately caused by the palace maid. If you sentence the palace concubine to death for this, I am afraid it will hurt the heart of the meritorious official."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the Jiang family has been stationed at the border for generations, and their contributions are invaluable!"

"Master Su, Concubine Su is not seriously injured at the moment, why do you have to kill her?"

"Bullshit!" A military officer of the Su family could not help but spit out obscenities, "Can't you punish him if he's not dead? You have to wait until he dies, right? What's your intention!"

"No, that's not what I meant!" The person who just spoke was instantly panicked. Seeing this, several people standing next to the Su family came up and criticized him.

"Palace maid, what palace maid? How can a palace maid be so capable of bringing poison into the palace? Lord Jiang is probably trying to push a palace maid out to take the blame, right?"

"Su Wei!" Jiang Huai, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and walked straight towards him, "Master Su, don't you know that you need evidence to say such things?"

"My Jiang family has been stationed at the border for generations, and our loyalty is evident to all heaven! Lord Su has spoken outrageously today, accusing my Jiang family of such a serious crime. Our ancestors who sacrificed their lives for the country will not agree!"

Su Wei was forced to retreat by his repeated questions, "You, you, what are you going to do!"

"Master Jiang," Old Master Su spoke slowly, his anger having gradually subsided. "Master Jiang keeps saying that the Jiang family has sacrificed their lives for the country for generations, but aren't there many people in my Su family who have sacrificed their lives for the country?"

"I have five sons, but only two of them came back alive!" Old Master Su sighed, "Poor little son of mine, even if he survived the battle, he will never be able to stand up again!"

"Your Majesty!" Old Master Su pushed aside the people around him, walked to the front and knelt down tremblingly, "I don't want to embarrass Your Majesty, but I really don't want to give in!"

"Enough!" Xiao Heng slammed the table hard. Looking at the ministers arguing about immortality below, he felt flustered. Those people who shouted "Long live him" in public had already been divided into factions in private.

"I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter!" After the last word fell, Xiao Heng seemed to have all his strength drained away, and fled from the court in a panic.

"Li Peidong, do you think I am really an emperor?"

"Your Majesty?" Eunuch Li was shocked. "Your Majesty, why do you say that?"

"Of course you are the emperor, the ruler of the world, the supreme ruler."

"I don't think so." Xiao Heng looked at the flickering candlelight on the table with a lonely look, "I think I am just a puppet set up by them."

"They are the ones who really have the final say in this world!"

"Your Majesty, please don't think like that!" Li Peidong hurriedly signaled the palace servants around him to withdraw. "Your Majesty is an orthodox descendant, so don't belittle yourself."

"I know that Your Majesty is unhappy. The Jiang family and the Wen family are both your right-hand men and left by the late emperor. Do you think that you can only maintain your position by relying on them?"

"But I don't think so!" Li Peidong was the last gift left by the late emperor to Xiao Heng, and this old servant has been diligently guarding the young master's side to assist him.

"Those left and right arms are old and borrowed after all. No matter how useful they are, they are not as useful as your Majesty's own." Li Peidong leaned forward slightly, "Your Majesty, when you grow new arms in the future, you can discard those old things."

"You're right!" Xiao Heng nodded. "My father passed away early, and most of the words he left for me were to persuade me to stay dormant and calm down."

"I've had enough of those people's endless obstruction! Whether it's important government affairs or my getting married and having children, they always interfere. My harem is a mess because of the women they sent in!"

Xiao Heng's expression turned stern, and murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Whether it's the Jiang family, the Wen family, or even the Su Jiaman, I will find a replacement sooner or later."

"I am the ruler of the world! I am the ruler of a country!" Xiao Heng slammed his palm on the table fiercely. "Today they argued endlessly in the court and did not take me seriously at all."

"It's as if the court is theirs, and they can argue as much as they want, even swearing! Those rough people have no manners at all, and it makes me sick to be in the same room with them!"

"Li Peidong, how do you think I should deal with the Jiang family this time?" Xiao Heng glanced coldly at the tightly closed door. "This time, the Jiang family can use poison on my concubine. Will they use it on me next time?"

"Even my palace is in turmoil. They really have long arms!"
