Qin Feng'an's tone was calm but extremely majestic, and he would not allow anyone to question him.

Even though it was late at night and the entire imperial city was asleep, he could summon anyone he wanted.

Xiao Lezi couldn't help swallowing hard, his heart trembling with fear, and he hurried to follow the order.

Although the emperor in front of him had a calm expression, his awe-inspiring majesty was far more frightening than when he was furious on the day of the draft.

Serving the emperor requires you to keep your head on your belt. If you are not careful, you will lose your head and your whole family will be in vain.

There were many palace servants standing in the huge Yongning Palace, but they were all silent, as if they were born without mouths. At the emperor's order, everyone in the Yongning Palace knelt on the ground, and when they looked up, they all had their heads lowered, and their faces were all hidden in the dim lights, making the whole courtyard even more spooky.

Qin Fengan was really annoyed.

This broken palace is never peaceful all day long!

The ministers of the previous dynasty quarreled endlessly, some concubines in the back garden fell into the water, some quarreled with each other, and some even had sex with the female copper under the pretext of righteousness!

I can still tolerate these, but what's going on when the concubines always show signs of collusion with the previous dynasty!

And Su Feiran - why are there always such frustrating things surrounding her!

She had been in the prison for less than a day when a murder happened next to her! What was even more terrifying was that Su Feiran discovered the murder herself! If this was just a coincidence, then Su Feiran was too unlucky!

Who could have thought that Qin Fengan, the supreme ruler of the world and the current emperor, who controls all the troops and talents of the ancient dynasty, couldn't even have a comfortable sleep!

Qin Feng'an was not superstitious, but he had been feeling uneasy for a few days. Moreover, the thunderstorm today came and went without a trace, which was indeed strange. Such a strange phenomenon made him a little afraid of the "seven stars in a row, the sky shaking and the earth splitting" mentioned by the officials of the Hun Tian Pavilion.

The Hun Tian Pavilion interpreted this astrological sign as a major turmoil that would break out within two days. Qin Feng'an didn't know if the series of events that happened today were the cause, but he couldn't let things ferment any further.

The three-court review will be scheduled for seven days later. The investigations by the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate have not yet produced any results, but Qin Fengan can't wait any longer.

Qin Fengan didn't care whether it was day or night, whether Su Feiran and Wang Qian were convenient, and whether the officials had resolved the incident. He had to resolve the matter tonight!

Tomorrow, he will have a good sleep!

The officials of the Three Judicial Departments were also awake. This case was extremely bizarre, and it was already too much to come up with a result in seven days. Now they were either working at their desks by candlelight or searching for evidence in every inch of the Imperial Garden. As a result, Eunuch Zhang came in person to tell them that the Emperor needed them to be there right now. They had no choice but to stop their work and came to the Yongning Palace with many pairs of dark circles under their eyes.

At this moment, Su Feiran and the jailer, Wang Qian and Wen Yue'er, Xiuzhe and Yuxiao had also arrived. They were led by the guards to the front of Lin Xiuqing and Hua Tangdi, facing Qin Fengan with a gloomy face.

In the entire courtyard, except for Su Feiran who was fearless, everyone else was shocked by the emperor's majesty.

The Supervisory Censor carefully looked at the situation in front of him, then hesitantly cupped his hands and advised: "I know your Majesty is anxious, but investigating a case requires following every clue to succeed. This matter cannot be rushed!"

The Deputy Director of the Ministry of Justice and the Judge of the Dali Temple also nodded in agreement, but when they saw Qin Feng'an's face suddenly turn dark, the three of them all kept silent, and no one was willing to go against the will of the emperor.

"Are you blind? Didn't you see the sudden thunderstorm just now?" Qin Feng'an said angrily, "The seven stars aligned and the sky shook and the earth cracked. Although it was fleeting, it was a revelation from heaven that our dynasty would encounter disasters in the next two days! I didn't expect that the incident of Wang Guiren falling into the water would involve so many subsequent incidents. If this matter is related to the disaster, it cannot be delayed and must be resolved immediately, otherwise changes will occur!"

"Yes."

The emperor had made up his mind and spoke sharply, so the officials of the three judicial departments had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond respectfully and obediently.

The three of them cursed in their hearts in tacit agreement - what a bastard Hun Tian Pavilion! Usually there is no one around, but when there is trouble, they suddenly appear from nowhere to make trouble!

Xiao Lezi brought a throne chair to Qin Fengan so that he could sit down comfortably on the steps in front of Yongning Palace and examine everyone in the courtyard one by one.

Guards, eunuchs, jailers, Eunuch Zhang, Xiao Lezi...

Lin Xiuqing, Hua Tangdi, Su Feiran, Wang Qian, Wen Yueer...

Jade flow, heart leaf, jade pin, beautiful sugarcane...

Officials of the Three Judicial Departments and officials of the Hun Tian Pavilion...

All were present.

Court is in session!

Qin Feng'an's eyes swept across everyone and finally stopped on Wen Yue'er.

"I heard that you were the first witness to Liu Ronghua molesting Lady Wang, right?" Qin Feng'an asked coldly.

Wen Yueer took a step forward and replied respectfully: "I am the first eyewitness and the earliest reporter, and -"

"One person is enough. Yongning Palace can't accommodate so many people." Qin Fengan interrupted her, "Just tell me what you saw truthfully, don't miss any details."

"Yes." Wen Yueer took the order and began to recall, "It was a sunny morning. I got up with joy. Birds were chirping in the trees..."

"Stop, stop, stop! Let's get to the point!"

Qin Feng'an had to interrupt again. He was so upset that he had no idea where this elementary school student's composition came from.

Although he let Wen Yue'er spill all the details, he really didn't want to know what time she got up in the morning, what she ate, or whether any bird said "good morning" to her.

Wen Yueer knelt down hurriedly, and said in fear and trepidation: "I am guilty. I had nothing to do that day, so I planned to take a walk by the Chengxin Lake in the Imperial Garden, but I accidentally ran into Liu Ronghua molesting the unconscious Concubine Wang, and Concubine Xian was watching over her. I'm afraid they had colluded with each other! Liu Ronghua also ordered her personal maid Yu Xiao to watch over her and not let anyone get close. Concubine Wang fell to the ground unconscious, and I was afraid that it was these two who killed her. In a hurry, I jumped into the bushes and didn't dare to move, for fear that they would find out and harm me! Therefore, it is my fault that I didn't stop Liu Ronghua's crime in time! Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Wen Yue'er explained everything in detail. Qin Feng'an thought for a moment and then asked, "Since you hid in the bushes and dared not move, how did you leave the Imperial Garden and tell Concubine Shuo all this?"

"I..."

Wen Yueer stole a glance at Hua Tangdi, then replied,

"I didn't want to move at first. I wanted to go to Chitang Garden to report to the Imperial Concubine after Liu Ronghua and Empress Xian left. However, I saw Liu Ronghua not only touching Concubine Wang, but also taking off his outer clothes and kissing Concubine Wang in his inner clothes! This is really ridiculous! I couldn't just stand by and watch, so when Yuxiao walked away, I took a detour through the bushes to a small path, and then walked out of the Imperial Garden. I happened to meet Concubine Shuo who had returned with the imperial physician and guards!"
