Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

After thinking about it, Emperor Xuan added a few more points:

"If a woman wants to go out to work, her husband must not stop her..."

"Foundling homes will be set up throughout the country, and all babies who cannot afford to be raised or have no parents will be sent to the foundling homes and raised by them."

"Children should not be abused. If parents abuse their children too much, the children have the right to appeal, and the family elders cannot stop them."

······

Listening to the decree announced by Emperor Xuan, many officials in the court turned red with anger. Children have the right to sue their parents, which is extremely unfilial. Parents have given their children a life, so nothing they do is excessive.

However, looking at Emperor Xuan's frosty face, especially at this moment when some ministers wanted to kill the princess, she really didn't have the courage to go against Emperor Xuan.

[Isn't the emperor stupid? He lets these ministers fool him.]

Emperor Xuan glared at Xu Jinyu secretly and said, "If I were stupid, I could become the emperor."

He flicked his sleeves and left the throne.

The ceremonial officer then announced the adjournment of the court.

[Oops! I forgot to give Wei An the cement recipe.]

Xu Jinyu was so happy talking about gossip that he forgot about his business.

Emperor Xuan stopped and thought about how to walk back without appearing to be doing it deliberately.

[Forget it, I'll present it to the court tomorrow! ]

OK! Emperor Xuan quickened his pace and left. Let's do it tomorrow. He still had to look at the evidence found in Xie's house and investigate those officials who were secretly loyal to the Xie family.

Ever since Xu Jinyu became an official, the emperor has been so busy that he has no time to enter the harem.

The court officials wiped the sweat from their foreheads and gossiped in their hearts. As soon as they left the court room, many officials had already rushed towards the Xie family.

A son-in-law killed his wife. This is news that has never happened since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty.

This only happened in the previous dynasty. The reason why the prince consort killed his wife in the previous dynasty was that the princess really did not regard the prince consort as a human being, and the prince consort could not bear it anymore and rose up in resistance.

Since Lord Xu came, attending court has become an especially happy thing.

They don’t know yet that the entire Xie family might be raided because of Xu Jinyu.

Princess Changle, who returned to the princess mansion, was not idle either. Her good husband had left dozens of concubines for her.

After taking the secret medicine and antidote found in the Xie family, Princess Changle's body was still weak, but she no longer looked like she was about to die at any time.

In the front hall of Princess Changle's mansion, a large group of young ladies were standing crowded together.

Each of these women has an outstanding appearance and a variety of styles. There are at least thirty or forty children with them.

These are Xie Yuan’s concubines and children. Princess Changle looked at all this with sarcasm. Xie Yuan was really fertile.

Who in the Xie family has so many children?

It’s just like what Mr. Xu said, aristocratic families are rich and can afford to raise so many children.

Even my father doesn’t have so many children. I’m afraid that Xie Yuan hasn’t had a single day of rest when he’s not with me.

Lord Xu said that Xie Yuan's kidneys were really strong, and he was telling the truth.

It took Princess Changle some effort to gather all these women and children.

These women were scattered in every corner of the capital, including the daughters of poor scholars, bar girls, women who were born as guilty officials, and of course, the prostitutes who redeemed themselves in brothels...

There were women of all kinds of backgrounds, and after being raised by Xie Yuan, these women were not allowed to go out, otherwise Xie Yuan's keeping mistresses would have been discovered for so many years, and he would not have realized anything unusual.

These women and children were brought to Princess Changle's mansion for no apparent reason and were extremely frightened, not to mention that there were guards holding weapons standing around.

"Madam, what is the matter that you brought us here?" a brave woman stepped forward and asked.

Princess Changle looked at the woman who asked the question with a smile. From the way she was dressed, one could tell she was a fierce woman.

Princess Changle smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. You are just my husband's concubines."

"Now I am going to reunite your family. Are you happy?"

The fierce woman was stunned. Prince Consort, which means the woman in front of her is the princess.

But is my husband a royal consort?

And “you”, does it mean all the women in this yard?

But the fierce woman couldn't care less about that now, and knelt down immediately, "Princess, you must have misunderstood me, my husband is just a scholar, not a consort."

"Yes! Yes! My husband is a painter."

"My husband is a musician."

"My husband is a businessman."

·······

The women in the yard hurriedly defended themselves, saying that they could not afford to offend the prince consort.

Besides, Her Royal Highness the Princess wouldn't gather them together just to punish them.

"Oh······"

Princess Changle couldn't help but sneer, wondering why she hadn't realized that Xie Yuan had a talent for acting.

"Is this just a misunderstanding, Pomegranate?"

Princess Changle called out to her personal maid.

"Bring me a portrait of the consort."

After a while, Shi Liu brought a portrait of Xie Yuan. This portrait was painted by the princess herself under the guidance of the court painter. Xie Yuan in the portrait was lifelike.

It was a testimony to their friendship, but it seems really ironic now.

I was the only one who was moved from beginning to end, and Xie Yuan was just acting out a loving couple's love with me that was talked about by the whole world.

Shi Liu held up the portrait and showed it to the crowd. When the women saw the man in the portrait, they were stunned.

"This... this is my husband. Except for the clothes, everything else is exactly the same. My husband has a mole behind his ear."

"This is also my husband, but...but my husband also has a mole behind his ear..."

·······

There was also a woman who was unwilling to give up and carefully asked Princess Changle: "Your Highness, is this a misunderstanding? Maybe our husbands just look a bit alike."

"It's okay if one or two people look alike, but is it possible that the husbands of more than ten or twenty people all look alike?" Shi Liu asked with a sneer.

Some clever women turned pale with fear. They were the concubines of the prince consort. So, was the princess calling them here to deal with them?

"Plop!"

"Plop!"

·······

Several women knelt down one after another.

"My dear Princess, I was deceived by my husband. Please don't kill me!"

"Your Highness, I was deceived and we were not aware of it."

As soon as these women begged for mercy, the rest of the women also reacted.

These women are of low birth, and when they encounter such things they can only kneel down and beg for mercy.

In an instant, everyone knelt down in the front hall of Princess Changle's mansion, and some women even pinched their own children to make them cry.

Hopefully, Her Royal Highness the Princess will have mercy and spare their lives.

Several grown-up children were staring in confusion as to how could their married and born children become the prince consort's mistresses?

How can they take the imperial examinations and become officials with such an identity? Their lives are ruined.

"What are you doing? Even if I'm a princess, I can't take human life lightly."

"but·······"

Princess Changle looked at the kneeling women with a smile. She was a reasonable person and would not vent her anger on these women.

In half a day, she had already figured out how Xie Yuan had a mistress.

When Xie Yuan's personal servant saw Xie Yuan being arrested, he confessed everything.

These women all thought they were the principal wives, and Xie Yuan also married them in a formal manner.

And there is really no good reason why Princess Changle gathered these people here.

"The Xie family has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and all nine clans will be executed. Your children are also members of the Xie family, and this is why I have come to you."

"Punish all nine clans!"

A woman screamed.

The crime of killing nine generations of a clan has little to do with ordinary people like them. It is difficult for them to commit the crime of killing nine generations of a clan. Only the powerful and wealthy will commit the crime of killing nine generations of a clan.

All the women and children at the scene who understood this sentence collapsed to the ground.

For a crime as serious as the execution of nine generations of a clan, the person should still be killed, even if his head is smashed.

"Yes! I gathered you together to tell you why you died, so that you won't be confused when you become ghosts."

After saying this, Princess Changle didn't bother to look at these people's reactions. She just waved her hand and the guards took these people to Zhaoyu.

Princess Changle in Zhaoyu has already prepared a stage for Xie Yuan, where he can perform to his heart's content.

He was almost killed by Xie Yuan and was deceived by Xie Yuan for so many years. It was of course a bargain for Xie Yuan if he was just beheaded.

The eldest princess doesn't have such a good temper.
