This Angong Emperor Huang Wan was exchanged for a favor from the Zhenguo Mansion. The Queen is such a smart person, she would not be stupid enough to refuse this sure-win deal.

Lu Chen was worried about Bai Youyou, and was also afraid that his grandmother would worry about him entering the palace, so he nodded at him and immediately turned around and ran home.

As Lu Huaizhen expected, not long after he returned home, the Third Prince sent his confidant Zhao Zhong to deliver the things over.

"The Queen asked me to tell the old lady that if there is anything missing, just go to the Third Prince's Mansion to get it."

The old lady knew that the queen was reminding her not to forget this matter, so she smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. If you need my help again, I will shamelessly come to you and ask for help."

Zhao Zhong cupped his hands and said, "The Third Prince is still waiting for me in the palace, so I will take my leave now."

The old lady asked Lu Chen to send the person out through the side door, and she took the life-saving pill and quickly went to Bai Youyou's room.

"Go get a glass of warm water!"

Xiaoju knew that the life-saving pill had arrived. With his eyes swollen like walnuts, he quickly stood up, walked to the table and poured a glass of water.

"This water is still a little hot. Add some cold water from this kettle."

Yang Momo took the teacup from Xiaoju's hand and prepared a bowl of warm water at just the right temperature.

"Hurry up and give Youyou the medicine!"

Mrs. Lu nervously grabbed the handkerchief and urged him.

The old lady held the tea bowl and tested the temperature, then stuffed a small red pill into Bai Youyou's mouth with one hand, and carefully fed her a sip of water.

After the Angongdihuang Pill entered her stomach, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"God bless you, my son finally survived this hardship!"

Lu clasped her hands together and bowed towards all directions of the room.

"On the 15th, I will go to the temple to donate a lot of money to thank the Bodhisattva for his blessing!"

Outside the window, the bright moon floated out of the clouds, and the earth was instantly dyed with a silvery-white frost.

"Wow wow wow..."

A loud and powerful cry tore through the silent night.

"Madam, great news, the eldest young lady has given birth to a little boy."

The maidservant beside Jiang Liyi ran over happily and bowed to congratulate the old lady.

"Good, good, good! Double happiness!"

The old lady's eyes filled with tears. "On the fifteenth of this month, let's go to the Buddha Temple and kowtow to the Bodhisattva!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the doorman walked over quickly with the dusty Xu Lingyun.

He was wearing an eye-catching official uniform. The old lady looked at the dark circles under his eyelids, and the resentment in her heart dissipated like mist.

"Nothing happened. I was just about to have someone notify you."

"is it?"

Xu Lingyun finally smiled on his tired face, his nose was sour, and the eight-foot-tall man's eyes were red at this moment.

He said with a choked voice: "That's good, that's good!"

"No matter how busy you are with official duties, you must take care of your health, Lord Xu. There is still a long way to go."

Seeing his tired face, the old lady gave him some advice enthusiastically.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Xu Lingyun bowed to the old lady, returned home to rest for two hours, and then went to the morning court without stopping.

When he met Zhao Qingming on the road, he just nodded to him politely and walked straight past him.

"Eh......"

Zhao Qingming raised his hand and then put it down again, smiling bitterly.

Colleagues passing by were in groups of two or three, and when they met each other's eyes, they greeted each other.

"Master Zhao, let's go together."

Zhao Qingming nodded to the man, and the two of them walked side by side into the magnificent court.

The officials stood according to their official ranks. When the old eunuch shouted sharply, "The Emperor has arrived," they immediately stood up straight, lifted their official uniforms, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "Long live the Emperor."

The emperor wore a bright yellow dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, a crown on his head, and walked with an eight-shaped step to ascend the coveted Nine Dragon Throne.

"If there is something going on, go ahead and leave if there is nothing going on!"

The eunuchs' shrill voices rang out, and court officials began to stand up one by one to report on various matters in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

When everyone had almost finished reporting, Zhao Qingming stood out from the line holding a tablet.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"What's going on?"

The emperor's voice was like a bell, and his sharp eyes swept across the people standing below. He was intimidating without even getting angry.

"I want to sue the Marquis of Yong'an for not raising his son properly, and for his son, Yong'an, for seizing the people's land, forcibly abducting the people's women, and for the crime of intentional murder!"

Zhao Qingming's voice hit the eardrums of everyone in the court like thunder, making everyone look shocked.

Yong'an Hou glanced at the prince anxiously, then immediately stood up, pointed at Zhao Qingming's nose and shouted, "Zhao Qingming, stop spitting blood!"

"Marquis Yong'an, it is my duty to investigate unjust cases. I dare to say this because I have evidence to support it!"

Zhao Qingming held his head high and chest puffed out, not afraid of the prince's sinister look at all.

The prince said coldly: "Master Zhao, is this really the case?"

"Of course. Without any evidence, how dare I speak in front of the throne?"

After Zhao Qingming finished speaking, he turned and looked at the emperor who was sitting on a high throne and whose expression could not be seen clearly. "Your Majesty, there are witnesses and evidences in this matter. This is the confession of the wronged person. Please take a look at it."

He took out a thick stack of confessions from his wide cuffs. The eunuch glanced at the emperor cautiously before walking down and taking the confessions from Zhao Qingming's hand and placing them in front of the emperor.

Xu Lingyun looked at him in confusion.

At first, he had advised himself that he didn't need to stick to the rules even though he was in a deep quagmire, and that he should protect himself first. Why was he acting like this today?

In order to prevent him from abusing his power for personal gain, he made a copy of all the confessions for record, fearing that he might abuse his power for personal gain.

Now.......

He didn't quite understand why he said those words to himself.

The emperor, sitting on the dragon throne, read the confessions page by page, all of which accused Jiang Hui, the son of Yong'an Marquis, of atrocities and evil deeds.

There are a total of 168 confessions, which is too numerous to list!!!

He raised his eyes to look at the limp Marquis of Yong'an, his eyes were colder than ever before.

"Jiang Zhe, do you have anything else to say?"

"Your Majesty, I failed to educate my son properly. Please spare his life, considering that he is my only son!"

The voice was calm, but it frightened Yong'an Marquis so much that he knelt on the ground with tears.

The evidence is all in front of us, and it is impossible to make excuses.

The prince did not expect that Zhao Qingming would actually go against his will. On the surface, he promised to show mercy, but secretly he investigated Hui's matter in every detail.

However, no matter what, it would take at least half a year to collect that pile of confessions!

If it’s not him, then it can only be the third brother!

The Crown Prince cast a sinister gaze upon his third brother, who was looking down at his toes. He clenched his hands tightly under his wide sleeves, causing his joints to creak.

"If you spare his life, then who will spare the lives of those who were tortured to death by Jiang Hui?!"
