Chen Xier gritted her teeth, knowing that Zhang Fufa could no longer be saved.

In that case, she might as well push all the blame for today's events onto Zhang Fufa and clear herself from the issue completely.

Most of the money that Zhang Fufa embezzled went into her hands, and this matter must never be revealed.

Xie Yu hadn't been so angry for a long time. Looking at the evidence just presented, his face was terrible and he was filled with anger.

A small deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department could secretly embezzle tens of thousands of taels of silver from the palace.

silent

Everyone carefully looked at Xie Yu's expression.

Zhang Fufa never thought that Xiao Cheng had been tolerant of him all this time just to collect evidence to bring him down, but now everything was really over.

Zhang Fufa, kneeling on the ground, quickly looked at Chen Xier, wanting Chen Xier to plead for him, but Chen Xier was in danger now, so how could she care about him?

Lin Junxue just looked at everyone's expressions calmly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip slowly.

At this time, she was the only one who had the heart to drink tea.

for a while

Xie Yu slammed the evidence presented by Xiao Cheng on the table, his face livid.

"Well, well done to Zhang Fufa, the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department. In just a few months, he actually embezzled tens of thousands of taels of silver and jewelry and resold them outside the palace. You are such a bold dog slave! Come here!"

At this moment, Lin Junxue suddenly spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, this Zhang Fufa is so bold and reckless that he has committed an unforgivable crime. I am thinking that perhaps the necklace that appeared on the neck of the leading dancer today was made by Zhang Fufa alone while he was reselling precious items in the palace. He accidentally mixed it up and it has nothing to do with Imperial Concubine Xi. What do you think?"

Xie Yu nodded and looked at the pitiful Chen Xier.

"What the Queen said does not make sense"

When Chen Xier heard Lin Junxue's words, her expression changed slightly.

Lin Junxue looked at Zhang Fufa and asked casually:

"Zhang Fufa, do you have anything else to say?"

Xie Yu was about to execute Zhang Fufa and didn't give him another chance to speak, but Lin Junxue gave Zhang Fufa another chance to speak.

Chen Xier hurriedly stepped forward and looked at Zhang Fufa deeply, with a threatening look in her eyes.

Then, her expression changed again, and she said to Xie Yu, "Your Majesty, this Zhang Fufa's corruption and bribery is unforgivable. It must be like what the Empress said. When Zhang Fufa was reselling items in the palace, he accidentally mixed up the items. Everything is Zhang Fufa's fault. Please understand, Your Majesty, I am innocent. Zhang Fufa, why don't you plead guilty?"

The voice just fell

Zhang Fufa had been trying to waver just now, but now he had no choice but to bow his head and plead guilty. It was clear that Concubine Xi wanted to abandon him.

"Your Majesty, I plead guilty. I did all of this. The necklace on the dancer's neck was mixed up by me when I was reselling items in the palace."

As for why Zhang Fufa pleaded guilty so quickly?

It’s because his brother, a family member outside the palace, is in the hands of Imperial Concubine Xi.

Zhang Fufa knew very well that if he did not plead guilty, his entire family would be killed.

Anyway, he has no way to survive. Whether he can bite the imperial concubine or not, he will die.

Seeing that Zhang Fufa did not say a word of defense, he just pleaded guilty.

Unfortunately, Sun Manrou did not use this opportunity to bring down Chen Xier. She was so angry that she even blamed Lin Junxue.

The Queen actually spoke for Chen Xier everywhere today. She is simply crazy.

When Chen Xier saw Zhang Fufa plead guilty, she felt relieved.

She holds the lives of Zhang Fufa's family in her hands, and she is afraid that one day, the truth will be revealed.

Next second

Xiao Cheng spoke again

"Your Majesty, I have something else to report."

Xie Yu's face was already so gloomy that it was unbearable to look at.

A good Mid-Autumn family dinner turned into this, I am furious

"Anything else? Tell me."

Chen Xier's face changed again, and she felt bad again.

Xiao Cheng said again, "Your Majesty, I have another account book. I found it in the box under the bed in Zhang Fufa's room. The account book was written by Zhang Fufa himself. If you find someone to compare it carefully, you will know that I did not lie. Please take a look at it yourself, Your Majesty."

Zhang Fufa’s eyes widened instantly, he collapsed to the ground, looking at Xiao Cheng in disbelief, his brain exploded.

Chen Xier's face also changed drastically, and even her hands in her sleeves couldn't help but tremble.

She stared at Zhang Fufa. This old man actually kept an account book.

When Chen Xier saw Zhang Fufa’s guilty expression, she knew that the things recorded in the account book must be related to her. This was bad.

Gao Cheng went down, took the account book from Xiao Xiazi, and handed it to Xie Yu with both hands. Xie Yu took it up.

Everyone's eyes once again fell on the account book in Xie Yu's hand.

What secrets are hidden in this account book?

Just now, Xiao Cheng was hesitant to speak. There was only one possibility, that people who should not be involved were involved in this account book, so Xiao Cheng did not say it clearly.

Chen Xier suddenly spoke up, her tone faintly pleading, "Your Majesty"

After being favored by the harem for many years, this was the first time Chen Xier felt scared and panicked

Xie Yu took a deep look at Chen Xier. Even without opening the account book in front of him, he seemed to have guessed a little bit. There was an indescribable disappointment in his eyes.

How could a mere deputy chief steward of the Imperial Household Department embezzle tens of thousands of taels of silver without making a sound? He must be protected by someone above him.

Sun Manrou urged, "Your Majesty, this account book was found by Eunuch Xiao with great effort. It must record some important things. Your Majesty, please take a look at it quickly."

Xie Yu glanced at Sun Manrou, then opened the account book in his hand.

When Xie Yu had turned half of the account book, he threw it on the table.

"Queen, take a look too."

Lin Junxue called Qiao Xin, Qiao Xin stepped forward, picked up the account book and put it in Lin Junxue's hand.

Lin Junxue flipped through the account book slowly, her expression changed slightly, and finally she put the account book down and looked at Chen Xier with an ambiguous expression.

Chen Xier naturally felt guilty and couldn't help but take a step back.

for a while

Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Come here, drag Zhang Fufa away and beat him to death. Today, this matter is not allowed to be mentioned again."

The limp Zhang Fufa was dragged away by the guards.

Xiao Cheng, who came to report, watched the scene coldly.

After today, the Imperial Household Department will be back in his hands.

After Zhang Fufa was dragged away, Xie Yu looked at the crowd who were all puzzled.

"I have already read this account book. It contains all the records of Zhang Fufa's corruption. There is nothing special about it. This matter ends here."

Chen Xier looked pale.

Fortunately, the emperor took their relationship into consideration and did not reveal the contents of the account book in public. She was deeply touched.

Next second

Xie Yu looked at Chen Xier, his face was frighteningly cold and his voice was even gloomier.

"The Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet organized by Concubine Xi has caused such a big problem. I will revoke your authority to assist in managing the six palaces."

Everyone was delighted. Just as Chen Xier was about to speak, Xie Yu said, "You are confined to the Xianya Palace and cannot leave for three months."

The last sentence was like a thunderclap, and everyone in the audience showed shocked expressions.

The emperor has asked to confine Concubine Xi to the Xian'ya Palace for three months?
