Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

"Your Majesty, these are not true. I am loyal to the princess, how could I harm her? The princess and I love each other, and we are in love and in harmony. My love for the princess is as deep as the sea and will last until death!"

"Jinqian, I am your father, and you actually slandered me. This is extremely unfilial!"

Marquis Anyang tried hard to defend himself and accused Huo Jinqian of being unfilial.

In ancient times, the word "filial piety" could ruin a person's life. He believed that Huo Jinqian would definitely help him for his career.

However, Marquis Anyang forgot that he and Huo Jinqian had severed their father-son relationship and they were just strangers.

The word "filial piety" had nothing to do with Huo Jinqian.

"What a harmonious marriage, lasting till death? As soon as the imperial sister died, you couldn't wait to marry Xu Xuan. This is what is called deep love."

"What a huge burden! Are you worthy of the word 'filial piety'? Don't forget that the Marquis and I have severed our father-son relationship. This was the emperor's decree, witnessed by the ministers. Could it be that the Marquis wants to resist?"

The emperor and Huo Jinqian reprimanded at the same time.

After seeing the evidence, the ministers refreshed their views on Marquis Anyang.

They didn't expect that there would be such hypocritical, ungrateful, ruthless and cruel colleagues around them. It was even more shameful and disgusting to be an official with him.

People always say that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. But he even killed his own son. He is worse than pigs and dogs.

Now his sophistry is even more shameful.

I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as him.

The evidence is solid, but you still want to deny it. You are such a bad person.

So the ministers began to murmur in the palace.

"I didn't expect that Marquis Anyang is such a person?"

"You can know a person's face but not his heart. You can paint the skin of a tiger but not its bones. Everyone should keep their eyes open in the future and don't be fooled by those with ulterior motives!"

"You're right. A few days ago, it was revealed that the Marquis' wife hired someone to kill Huo Jinqian, and now it's revealed that the Marquis of Anyang killed the eldest princess. The Marquis of Anyang's mansion is really filthy and dirty."

"Marquis Anyang, the imperial edict was issued by me personally. You cannot resist it. You have nothing to do with Lord Huo now, so the word "filial piety" cannot be brought up."

The emperor was so angry that he really wanted to kill him right now.

"That's right. I was at the scene at the time. The emperor personally issued the decree."

"I was also at the scene and can testify that the Marquis of Anyang and Scholar Huo have severed their relationship and they have no relationship at all now!"

"Marquis Anyang, it's pointless for you to keep pestering us like this! We were there at the time and witnessed your imperial decree to sever the relationship!"

The ministers present that day came out to accuse Marquis Anyang, making him blush and dare not look at their expressions at the moment.

"Your Majesty, that's not the case. I didn't mean to disobey your order. I just said it because I was too excited..."

"Where is the Minister of Justice?"

The emperor interrupted Marquis Anyang and called the Minister of Justice.

"My lord, I'm here."

The Minister of Justice stood up and said respectfully.

"Where is the Dali Temple Minister?"

The emperor called the Dali Temple Minister.

"Old minister, I'm here."

The Dali Temple Minister stepped forward and spoke.

"Where is the Jingzhao prefect?"

The emperor asked the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture for the third time.

"I am here, your humble servant!"

The prefect of Jingzhao immediately stood up and said respectfully.

"You three officials will investigate the murder of the princess. You must get to the bottom of it for me. No murderer should be let off."

The emperor handed the case of the eldest princess' murder over to the Dali Temple, the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor and the Ministry of Justice for trial.

"I will obey your orders!"

The Chief Justice, the Minister of Justice and the Prefect of Jingzhao knelt down to receive the order.

"Because the princess is a member of the royal family, I will send the clan office to assist you. If you dare to abuse your power and bend the law for personal gain, don't blame me for killing all nine clans."

The Emperor looked at the three of His Highness' companions and spoke warningly.

"I dare not. I will handle the case impartially and find the murderer of the princess."

The Dali Temple Minister, the Ministry of Justice Minister, and the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor were so frightened that they kept talking nonsense and made promises.

"Retreat!"

The emperor stood up and walked out of the palace.

The ministers quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, we respectfully send you off!"

After the emperor left, the Imperial Guards took the Marquis of Anyang, who had a dejected look on his face, away and took him to the Ministry of Justice prison.

Among the Three Departments, the Ministry of Justice has the greatest power, so the place where trials take place is naturally the Ministry of Justice.

Civil and military officials left the hall and the palace one after another to return to the government office to work.

They finally realized that the recent incident of Huo Zhuangyuan being murdered and the emperor's edict to break off the marriage must have been premeditated. Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

The Minister of Justice returned to the Ministry of Justice and sent out the head of the police to arrest the son of the Marquis of Anyang and Wei Mingzhu, and put Wei Mingxuan and the old lady of Wei in jail. He also took all the servants of the Marquis's mansion to the Ministry of Justice. Of course, the Ninth Princess was no exception.

Finally, the marquis's mansion was sealed.

Such a big commotion alarmed the people in the capital.

The gossipy people went to inquire about the news and learned that the marquis's family had committed a crime and were taken to the Ministry of Justice for trial.

The Ninth Princess made a big fuss in the prison, saying that she wanted to see the Emperor and divorce Wei Mingchen.

No matter how much trouble she made, the jailer did not report it to the emperor.

Because the Crown Prince and Princess Xiangyun explained that this was the Emperor's intention.

Gao Zhijun had tried her best to bring her and Wei Mingchen together, so how could she let her get divorced?

Soon, the people of the capital city learned that what the Anyang Marquis' Mansion had done was to murder the eldest princess.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh.

The older people all knew that the eldest princess had married the Marquis of Anyang.

The power, wealth and glory that Marquis Anyang has today were all given by the eldest princess.

In the end, he plotted to murder the eldest princess. He was such an ungrateful, cruel and ruthless beast.
