Quick Wear: That Female Supporting Character is Super Strong

I only heard the king at the top express concern again, which was rare.

"Is it really okay?"

"Your Majesty, I am sorry to have worried you. I am really fine."

As soon as Prime Minister Yue finished his reply, he thought that he had finally passed this hurdle. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Censor Li from the Yin Guogong Disciple Supervisory Office, who had always been at odds with him, couldn't wait to speak.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Prime Minister took in a beautiful concubine last month. Maybe it was because he worked too hard at night."

As soon as these words, which were obviously sarcastic, were spoken, there were many voices of ridicule in the court.

"Our Prime Minister is still strong despite his old age."

"is not that right?"

"This gift is not good enough, it seems that it is not enough, is it empty?"

……

If it had been any other time, no one would dare to gossip like this in the court. This was clearly the result of the king's deliberate indulgence.

After Xi learned that his wife had never had a good life in Yue Mansion, his impression of his father-in-law was extremely bad.

Now someone was deliberately trying to embarrass him, how could he possibly speak up to stop it?

The group of ministers in the palace were the best at guessing the emperor's intentions. After they realized this unconsciously, the discussion became even more intense.

Prime Minister Yue was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Xicai cleared his throat, ending the meeting of mocking the prime minister.

Of course, he had no good intentions, but he had more important things to announce. Otherwise, he would definitely let them humiliate him for a whole morning and let him experience the feeling of being isolated and helpless.

"Before today's morning court session begins, I have an order to announce."

When the emperor was about to make an announcement, everyone naturally pricked up their ears and listened carefully, fearing that they would miss anything.

The chief eunuch Ronglu, who had received the order, stepped forward and unfolded the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: I first heard that the leader of the Dragon Merchants Guild, Luoyue, was a man of both talent and virtue, and was both beautiful and intelligent. When I saw her, I was particularly pleased and wanted to marry her. She agreed to marry me, and now I appoint her as the Empress. She will work with me to manage all affairs and create a prosperous era. I decree this!"

As soon as the imperial edict was read, the ministers who had originally hoped to have their daughters brought into the palace and allowed to rule the harem finally gave up their worries.

Listen! What does the imperial edict say?

"If you want to marry her, you must get her consent"!

Just from this sentence, isn't it clear enough what position the new queen holds in His Majesty's heart!

Which emperor needs to beg for a wife? This has never happened in any of the previous dynasties!

If this isn’t true love, then what is!

However, the one who suffered the most from this was Prime Minister Yue, who heard the Queen's name.

He came up with countless conspiracy theories in a short period of time, and not only did his face turn pale, but his whole body was instantly soaked in cold sweat.

Now it seems that His Majesty clearly knew that the girl who entered the palace before was his concubine's daughter and not his legitimate daughter.

And if Your Majesty were to investigate the matter of a concubine's daughter being married off as a substitute, the entire nine clans of the Yuezhi would be implicated.

If he had known this, he shouldn't have...

Prime Minister Yue thought that he should kowtow and confess his guilt immediately.

But when he looked up and met Yue Luoluo's extremely cold eyes that looked at him as if she were a stranger, the plea for mercy that was on the tip of his tongue had to be swallowed back.

Then I remembered that the imperial edict mentioned the president of the Longxing Chamber of Commerce, not the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although no one knows how she became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, it is clear that she is trying to draw a clear line between herself and their Yue Mansion.

How could Prime Minister Yue, who has been in the officialdom for so many years, not understand the deep meaning of this?

She would not hold them accountable to their faces, but they would never get any chance of having any contact with her wealth and glory from now on.

At this moment, Prime Minister Yue had nothing to think about except regretting his decision.

There were people in the court who wanted to raise doubts, and some even wanted to threaten her by saying, "How can a merchant of lowly origin be the mother of the country?"

But now that Xi has recovered his cultivation and completely broken free from the Demon Lord's control, how could he be bound by such remarks?

He has never been a weak and vulnerable king.

"So, the Duke wants to oppose my enthronement of the Queen, right?"

Although Yin Shijie is already in his forties this year, he had just taken over the title of Duke from the old Duke who had gone mad on horseback a few days ago. He was suddenly called out by the king in such a cold voice, which made his fat body tremble.

But thinking that their Yin family was still hoping to have another queen to protect her family, and that many of the people serving in the court were his father's disciples and would definitely stand on his side at the critical moment, Yin Shijie plucked up his courage again.

"Your Majesty, I dare not do so, but the matter of establishing a queen concerns the fate of the country. Please think twice and do not delay the country because of a momentary love affair."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

The tone of voice was not deliberately emphasized, but it carried enough authority that Yin Shijie instantly felt a terrible pressure, and he knelt down on the spot with his knees bent.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I dare not do that. I just..."

"The Duke is getting old now, right? It sounds like he can't speak clearly anymore. Shouldn't he take this opportunity to retire and return home?"

"No, Your Majesty, that is not what I meant. I..."

"So what exactly does the Duke mean? My imperial decree has been issued, do you mean to disobey it?"

The meaning of Xi's words was clear; he was giving orders, not asking for their opinions.

No one dared to say anything more now, but they just looked on unconvinced.

I was thinking of going back and joining forces with other colleagues to make a joint memorial or something to put pressure on the king, not afraid that the king would not submit in the end.

However, Xi's next move made them shut up completely, and they were glad that they had not had time to act as recklessly as Duke Yin.

When he said that he would force Yin Guogong to retire and return home, it was not just a threatening joke. In fact, his final fate would be much worse than retiring and returning home.

The emperor asked the eunuch Ronglu who was serving beside him to read out a whole book of secret reports on the spot. It was all evidence of various crimes committed by everyone in Duke Yin's mansion since the reign of the previous Duke.

Including but not limited to forming cliques for personal gain, plundering the people's wealth, taking human life lightly, etc. Any one of these can be enough to strip off his official hat and drag him out to chop off his head eight or ten times.

It's over now, all over!

Before the long list of crimes could be read out, Yin Shijie's eyes went dark and he passed out.

Even those officials who used to follow the lead of the Duke's Mansion were trembling with fear, fearing that the emperor would be cruel and punish everyone together.

In the end, Duke Yin was dragged away by the guards. His destination was the Heavenly Prison. He didn't even have the chance to return to the Duke's Mansion.

The rest were subjected to confiscation of property, beheading, and exile. The evidence was irrefutable and no one could escape.

In less than half an hour since the court session began, a force that had been entrenched in the court of Yao Kingdom for many years had been eliminated, allowing the ministers present to see what a thundering method was.

It was also at this time that everyone realized that the emperor was never as incompetent as they thought.

To be able to obtain such detailed evidence of a minister's guilt requires not only the emperor to have the heart to punish evil and eliminate treacherous people, but also considerable skills and available people.

However, if this is the case, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who was absent today without reason, might become the only one in power.
