The arms agent concubine takes the RV to raise a baby

Zhai Liangyu looked at Hua Xiyu and then at the emperor. His meaning was very clear. If the emperor asked him to speak, he would speak. If the emperor didn't allow him to speak, then he wouldn't speak. As an imperial merchant who supplied all kinds of items to the palace, he was naturally qualified to participate in the banquet, but the front row was filled with royal officials and ministers, and he was just a merchant, so he could only sit in the back row.

"Your Majesty, Zhai Liangyu has been to the same place as me." Hua Xiyu was conveying a message to the emperor, telling him that Zhai Liangyu was also a modern man.

The emperor became interested when he heard this. Wouldn't this be able to prove whether Hua Xiyu was lying?

"Zhai Qingjia, what do you say?"

Zhai Liangyu stood up and walked to the center of the venue and said, "Your Majesty, I have traveled to many places for business, and I have seen such a record in a book that recorded geography in a foreign country. It is indeed as Miss Hua said."

The emperor looked at the person who asked the question, "Do you have any questions?"

Naturally, he didn't dare to do that. Then A Tu took Hua Xiyu's painting tools back, but everyone in the hall had forgotten about the painting. Only the person who initiated the challenge still remembered it.

"Have you retrieved Miss Hua's painting tools?"

"Oh, I got it." She had already seen A Tu.

The emperor looked at Fu Tingxuan who was standing in front of the palace, wanting to know how far Fu Tingyi had progressed. Fu Tingxuan shook his head, indicating that he had not received any news yet.

He had to wait patiently.

Hua Xiyu suddenly didn't want to use his own tools to paint anymore, as it seemed like he was bullying the ancients, so he did the same as the young man, took out paper and pen, and started painting in black and white.

Soon a black and white picture of "Butterfly in Love with Flowers" was completed. It was not a flat line drawing like the ancients, but a lifelike three-dimensional painting, which showed the interesting interaction between flowers and butterflies through shadows and reflections.

At this time, Fu Tingyi, the commander of the Left Guard Imperial Guard, was leading his soldiers into the Duke Dingguo's Mansion to search. Most of the women in the Duke Dingguo's Mansion had gone to attend the palace banquet. Princess Jing'an returned home early because of the embarrassment of Miss Pan Er. What the princess did not expect was that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion had been surrounded by the Imperial Guards, and Fu Tingyi and his men were searching the Mansion.

This happened without any warning or prior notice, and it was seized without any evidence. Princess Jing'an found it a little hard to accept this.

"How dare you, how dare you, this is the Duke's Mansion, this is the Duke Ding's Mansion!" Princess Jing'an screamed. Her daughter had lost face in the palace and the marriage she had been planning was completely out of the question. She was so angry that she didn't expect that her house would be searched when she returned.

Fu Tingyi was worried in Pan Renhui's study. He knew there was something strange in the study, but he couldn't find the entrance after searching for a long time. He couldn't break it down. If he broke it and didn't find what he wanted, he wouldn't be able to explain it.

The purpose of this search and seizure was, firstly, to find evidence that Pan Renhui had colluded with the enemy and committed treason and formed cliques in the court, and secondly, to confiscate the money embezzled and accepted in bribes.

If the evidence is found, there is no need to explain the previous behavior. If no evidence is found and no substantial harm is caused, the emperor can step down if it is just a misunderstanding. But if the Duke's Mansion is smashed to pieces and no evidence is found, it will be difficult to convince the public.

The eldest princess was invited to the study by the soldiers. Seeing this situation, she understood everything. The Pan family was finished. No wonder a drama was designed for her daughter today. It turned out that it was the emperor who arranged to rescue her daughter. At this moment, she felt a little grateful to the emperor and Liu Jingcheng.

She had no feelings for Pan Renhui at all, and only hated him but not loved him. In this family, the only person she cared about was her daughter. Now that her daughter was engaged, she had nothing to be nostalgic about, so she took Fu Tingyi directly into Pan Renhui's study, and she opened the secret compartment in the study with familiarity.

The couple were wary of each other and looked for evidence against each other. She also bribed the people around Pan Renhui and found ways to find out the secrets in his study.

After all, she is the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, so many things are very convenient for her to handle, especially when Pan Renhui is away from home for a long time.

Fu Tingyi led his soldiers in smoothly, which shocked him. The dark room was full of gold, and most importantly, there was a dragon throne and a dragon robe.

Fu Tingyi did not dare to delay and immediately took the things into the palace. The emperor was looking at the painting painted by Hua Xiyu at this time. He handed it to Mei Shumin and asked, "Are you satisfied with the daughter-in-law I found for you?"

Mei Shumin smiled so much that her eyes curved into a small crescent shape, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this moment, a voice was heard from the door, "Report——".

The emperor suddenly perked up, quickly straightened his sitting posture, and said, "Announce."

The people standing in the middle of the field quickly returned to their seats and made way for the incoming imperial guards.

Fu Tingyi came in from outside, followed by Princess Jing'an, "Your Majesty, I have found a large amount of gold, a dragon robe and a dragon throne in the secret room in the basement of Duke Dingguo's Mansion."

"Show it up!" the emperor shouted.

The soldiers quickly moved the dragon throne to the center of the hall, with the dragon robe draped over the throne.

"No, Your Majesty, this is a frame-up, it's all fake, it's all fake!" The Queen suddenly stood up and shouted loudly.

Once these things are implemented, the Pan family will be finished. Once the Pan family is finished, her position as queen will also be over.

Thinking of her mother's situation in the past few days, she was shaking with fear. It turned out that the emperor had been investigating the Pan family for a long time, and tonight's palace banquet was actually a Hongmen Banquet prepared for their Pan family.

The emperor naturally ignored him and looked at his sister standing in the hall. Although they had different mothers, at least they had the same father. Now it was up to her to choose her husband's family or her own family.

"Jing'an, what do you say?" asked the emperor.

"These are all true. Duke Dingguo has been preparing for many years, just waiting to launch a mutiny tonight to seize the throne in one fell swoop." Princess Jing'an suddenly burst into laughter. Her life was ruined by the Pan family. Now that the Pan family was finished, she had nowhere to go.

Other princesses still have their own princess mansions even if their husband’s family falls. But she, the eldest princess, doesn’t even have her own princess mansion. How ridiculous.

She laughed, pulled out the soldier's knife, slit her own throat, and fell to the ground dead on the spot.

The emperor had no time to care about her at this moment. The soldiers and eagle guards arranged outside the palace quickly entered the room and took control of all the ministers and their families of the Pan family.

Soon someone dragged the eldest princess's body away. Everyone was so terrified that they dared not look at it, especially the female relatives. They were so scared that they wanted to scream but did not dare to. Several of them fainted from fright.

The ministers of the Pan family were even more terrified. They had not received any news beforehand. Many of them had just received letters saying that the Pan family army would launch an attack at the palace banquet on the Moon Festival. How could they be countered by the emperor now? It was obvious that the secret had been leaked.

But they all held on to a lucky mentality. After all, the Pan family army still had 300,000 troops. What was the point of the emperor capturing these old, weak, women and children? The army was the only thing that mattered.

"Let me go, let me go, Your Majesty, what have I done wrong? How can you put me in jail without asking the reason?" The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who is in charge of military rations and military pay, has been withholding rations from other armies for years. This Left Vice Minister is clearly the Left Vice Minister of the Pan family, not the Assistant Vice Minister of the Liu family.

"Oh, don't worry, I will show you the evidence," Fu Tingyi sneered, "Take it away."

More officials were taken away, and the female family members were also taken away. At this time, another person came in from outside the hall. It was Defu who had been missing for many days.

"Queen, why are you scared?" The emperor looked at the trembling queen and smiled sarcastically, "Defu is the person I grew up with, doesn't the queen know him? There is another person the queen must be more familiar with."

Wen Xi was brought in, "Please spare my life, please spare my life, it's not me, they asked me to do it, they asked me to do it."

"Who asked you to do it and what you did? Tell me the truth."

"It was Chief Steward Wu from Fengxiang Palace. He asked me to put some poison on the emperor's dragon table every day. I didn't want to do that. They captured my parents and brothers. If I didn't obey, they would kill my whole family."

Wen Xi lay on the ground, begging for mercy non-stop. Only after Fu Tingxuan yelled at him several times did he reluctantly calm down.

"You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense, you damn bastard, who told you to make such random accusations?" The queen had lost her mind. She grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at Wen Xi. She actually hit him, but Wen Xi did not dare to dodge, and blood immediately came out of his forehead.

"Drag him away." The emperor waved his hand, signaling for someone to drag him away.

De Fu stepped forward to salute the emperor, and suddenly saw Hua Xiyu. The old man didn't know what Hua Xiyu's current identity was, so he just respectfully saluted Hua Xiyu and thanked her for saving his life.

"Old man, I'm sorry to have made you suffer." The emperor looked at Defu, who was his childhood friend. As long as they remained loyal to him, he would have the obligation to protect them.
