The regent princess is strong and cool, and the beautiful prince loves her every day

The emperor coughed and said coldly: "My dear ministers, I have something to say about the flood and plague in Jiangdu City."

Xiao Jingzhan spoke up to put an end to this farce and brought the palace banquet back to the main topic.

"Little Li, bring the person up." Xiao Jingzhan said to the eunuch beside him.

"Yes." The eunuch understood, quietly retreated, and ordered the guards to bring up the prisoners in the sky prison.

A quarter of an hour later, a prisoner wearing prison clothes and shackles was brought up by two guards.

Xiao Jingzhan glanced coldly at Wu'an Hou, who was lying on the ground wrapped like a zongzi, and said, "Wu'an Hou, do you know him?"

Marquis Wu'an didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked this. He glanced at the criminal and his face turned pale in an instant, with fear appearing on his face.

This prisoner was none other than the guard he had sent to Jiangdu City to open the sluice gates and release water, thus spreading the plague.

"My dear ministers, the flood and plague in Jiangdu City was not an accident, but was intentionally done by Marquis Wu'an." Xiao Jingzhan looked at the prisoner kneeling on the ground and said coldly: "Tell me, was the incident in Jiangdu City directed by Marquis Wu'an?"

The man kneeling on the ground immediately admitted, "Your Majesty, it was Marquis Wu'an who ordered me to go to Jiangdu City to blow up the sluice gates and spread the plague in order to cause chaos. This caused floods and plague to spread all over Jiangdu City, and there was chaos."

The man looked at Marquis Wu'an coldly, his eyes full of hatred, and then said: "Marquis Wu'an wants to force the people of Jiangdu City to rebel, lead the troops to rescue the emperor, and then take the opportunity to force the emperor to abdicate and control the government."

"After sending the Regent away, the Marquis secretly gathered troops and was ready to force the emperor to abdicate in the name of saving the king." The man added, explaining all the details of Marquis Wu'an clearly.

Wu Anhou was furious and yelled at the man, "Nonsense! You are framing me!"

"I trusted you so much, but you actually betrayed me and even framed me." Marquis Wu'an never thought that his most trusted confidant would betray him and become the most powerful knife pointed at him.

"Trust?" The man smiled crazily, "My Lord, you killed my whole family and asked me to work for you in exchange for saving my life. Is this trust?"

The man felt heartbroken and ridiculous when he thought about how he had worked wholeheartedly for the murderer who killed his entire family for four years.

When his entire family was being killed, he was being hunted and happened to meet the Marquis, who took care of him. From then on, he was completely devoted to him and had no second thoughts.

But now the Regent actually told him that it was Marquis Wu'an who killed his entire family, and even presented all the evidence in front of him.

At that time, Marquis Wu'an coveted the beauty of his wife, so he found an opportunity to go to his home and raped his wife in public in front of his parents.

Unable to bear the humiliation, his wife committed suicide. She was two months pregnant before her death.

His parents were also hacked to death by people sent by Marquis Wu'an, but he was away from home at the time and escaped the disaster.

On the way home, he happened to be chased by someone and it was Marquis Wu'an who saved him.

Seeing that his martial arts skills were extraordinary and his abilities were amazing, Marquis Wu'an kept him by his side.

It's ridiculous that he had been looking for an enemy for ten years, and when he looked back, it was the marquis to whom he swore allegiance until death.

Marquis Wu'an's face froze. He had handled the matter cleanly and neatly, leaving no evidence behind. All the people who knew about the incident were killed by him. How did he know?

In fact, Marquis Wu'an thought about killing the man as well to prevent future troubles.

But the man was a rare talent, and he really needed someone like him. Besides, he had already destroyed all the evidence, so he dared to take a chance and keep him by his side.

"My Lord, I have already told the Regent where you keep your troops. I'm sure your troops have been surrounded and defeated by now."

"This palace banquet is specially prepared for you." The man laughed, tears streaming down from the corners of his eyes unknowingly.

His life was such a joke.

Marquis Wu'an was completely panicked. He dared to be so rampant because he had the military power in his hands. In addition, he heard from His Royal Highness Prince An that the Regent was poisoned and would not live long.

But now, everything was beyond his expectations.

Now that the military power has been lost, he is isolated and helpless, caught in a trap.

He was defeated, completely defeated.

The emperor also sent someone to present information about Marquis Wu'an's previous crimes, each of which was a serious crime.

The ministers present did not dare to say a word, especially those who had dealings with Marquis Wu'an in the past. They now wished they could find a hole in the ground to crawl into, so as not to let anyone remember them.

Xiao Jingzhan put the crimes of Marquis Wu'an in his face and said sternly: "Pass on my order. Marquis Wu'an is arrogant and domineering. He committed crimes and accepted bribes. He killed the people and took human lives lightly. His crimes are unforgivable and he must be executed immediately!"

"Yulin Guards, listen to my order. Kill Marquis Wu'an immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, the leading Yulin Guard drew his sword, chopped off Marquis Wu'an's head in the hall, and blood splattered all over the ground.

"My fellow ministers, I am killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Anyone who plots rebellion and harms the people in the future will suffer this fate!" Xiao Jingzhan turned around, his aura strong and the majesty of an emperor.

Xiao Moyao sneered a few times. Marquis Wu'an brought this upon himself by not exercising restraint in his actions, but he himself would not be so reckless.

It’s not certain who will win.

The ministers present felt that they had been frightened several times in one night and their hearts could no longer bear it.

How could this be a palace banquet? It was clearly a bloody banquet! It was terrifying!

After sending people to clear away the body of Marquis Wu'an, the banquet continued with the sound of orchestra and piano, as if nothing had happened.

But everyone was in a state of confusion, secretly pondering the current situation in the court and thinking about how they should act.

The emperor raised his glass and restored his usual friendly and amiable expression, "I have one more thing to announce!"

"Su Yueqing has made an indelible contribution to the Jiangdu City incident!"

Everyone was puzzled. Although Su Yueqing did not go to Jiangdu City to meet anyone secretly, what could a woman like her do for Jiangdu City?

Xiao Jingzhan looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd and continued, "The plague in Jiangdu City was brought under control in the shortest possible time, and the antidote for the plague was developed by Su Yueqing. Even the food for disaster relief in Jiangdu City was bought by Miss Su with her own savings."

Everyone had a look of doubt on their faces. Now that Su Yueqing had the protection of the Regent, she could get any credit she wanted!

“If you don’t believe it, you can take a look at the blood letter written by tens of thousands of people from Jiangdu City.” Seeing that everyone didn’t believe it, Xiao Jingzhan sent someone to take down the blood letter brought from Jiangdu City and show it to everyone.

"Blood letter?" Su Yueqing looked puzzled. "What blood letter? How come I don't know about it?"

Xiao Mochen explained softly, "A few days ago, the people of Jiangdu City wrote a letter in blood to express their gratitude to you, praising you, and sent someone to deliver it to the capital at full speed."

Su Yueqing felt her nose sour; the kindness of strangers was so heartwarming.

A huge letter written in blood was fully displayed in front of everyone, all of which were thanking and praising Su Yueqing and clearing her name.

On the right side of the blood letter, there are signatures and seals from more than 10,000 people in Jiangdu City, densely packed everywhere.

There is a seal stamped on the lower left corner of the blood letter, which is authentic.

"How is it? Does any of you still have doubts?" Xiao Jingzhan asked after he sent someone to take back the blood letter.

Everyone shook their heads. The blood-written letter with red words on white cloth was written clearly and plainly, praising Su Yueqing to the sky and comparing her to a deity. What else could they doubt?

"Okay! Since all of you are convinced, I will start rewarding you according to your merits."

"Wow!" Su Yueqing rubbed her hands excitedly, looking forward to this huge reward!
