The blacksmith lady is killing people in the harem, and her son is responsible for it.

Inside the palace.

Mu Qing knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Han Qingdai is dead, and Mo Yi escaped! Please punish him, Your Majesty!"

The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as Han dies!"

The emperor does not allow the concubines in the prince's harem to elope with other men.

If you don't want to live in the palace, then leaving means death.

Moreover, Han was pregnant. If she was not killed, it would very likely confuse the royal bloodline in the future.

"Did the Crown Princess give any order to the Second Prince?"

"Your Majesty, Prince Ping's mansion has been surrounded, and the Second Prince is now imprisoned in the Dali Temple."

The emperor was curious, "Didn't the Crown Princess order the killing of the Second Prince?"

"Your Majesty, no, the Crown Princess has not given any orders."

The emperor asked him to kill his own son, so he was somewhat hesitant.

He was just waiting for Qin Wan to take action so that he would not have any psychological burden.

Unexpectedly, the Qin family suddenly started to fail.

The emperor felt that he would not be able to pretend to be unconscious for long.

Otherwise, if he continues to be unconscious like this, without eating or drinking, he will die.

But he couldn't really stop eating and drinking. If he was still unconscious, he would definitely be exposed.

"Okay, go to the East Palace and wait for orders to see what she wants to do."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Mu Qing left with a confused look on his face. He felt that both the Emperor and the Crown Princess were very strange.

The emperor was clearly awake, but he still wanted to be mysterious.

The Crown Princess is the same, she doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

If it were him, he would take advantage of the emperor's coma to get rid of the second prince to eliminate future troubles.

Qin Wan slept until the afternoon before waking up.

Granny Ping brought the palace maids to help Qin Wan dress and report what happened in the morning, "Your Majesty, the Queen and Li Chenghui came this morning.

But the queen hasn't woken up yet, so I told the queen, but she didn't get angry and went back to Wanchun Palace happily. "

Qin Wan's eyes rolled. "While the queen mother is not going back to Kunning Palace, don't delay with Madam Xu and send her off."

Granny Ping nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, I will arrange it later."

“Oh, right, my mother is at a vulnerable moment right now, so please pick an aunt who is quick-witted and tactful and send her over.

Remember, the first priority is to gain the Queen Mother's trust, and then slowly persuade her to behave."

Qin Wan felt very sorry that the queen was lucky enough to survive.

This person is Zhao Zhen’s biological mother, and she cannot do anything to her.

"Yes, Gao Daban has already selected the person and is waiting to be sent over."

Qin Wan nodded, "Okay, the harem lost a lot of palace maids this time, let the big companion work harder, select some suitable people, and assign them to each palace."

"By the way, Madam, Commander Mu and Lord Yang have been waiting for a long time."

Qin Wan ordered, "Hurry up, help me wash up quickly."

Qin Wan really wanted to know the situation outside the city, and also wanted to know how Shang Yunze's subordinates outside were handling the situation.

Soon, Qin Wan took the little lion to Lizheng Hall.

Lizheng Hall was where the prince used to handle government affairs.

As for the little lion, although he is a child, he is the emperor's grandson, so he still has to be there when Qin Wan meets with foreign officials.

What's more, Qin Wan also needs to make use of Haoda'er's talent and needs this boy's help.

If it weren't for this kid, Qin Wan really wouldn't be able to find the exit of the secret passage in the palace.

Speaking of secret passages, the small animals living in them must be the ones who know them best.

It is because of the little lion that Qin Wan can accurately know the exit and entrance of the secret passage.

When they arrived at Lizheng Hall, the young eunuch pushed open the door.

Qin Wan was supported and walked into the hall, with the little lion jumping and following beside her.

Qin Wancai sat down and found that not only Mu Qing and others came, but also Xie Yu'an and several other ministers.

Among them was a young man, about the same age as Xie Yu'an, whom I hadn't seen last night.

Qin Wan looked at the man several times.

Everyone bowed to Qin Wan, "Your subjects pay their respects to the Crown Princess!"

"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Grandson!"

Qin Wan also accepted it calmly. She is now the most powerful person in the palace, hehe.

At this moment, Qin Wan felt that all the days of enduring humiliation in the past were not in vain, hahahaha.

"No need to be so polite, everyone. Please stand up!"

Qin Wan didn't expect these people to kneel down to her. She was really flattered.

"Commander Mu, have all the rebels outside the city been captured?"

Qin Wan gave Mu Qing the location of the secret passage exit yesterday.

Mu Qing stood up and said, "Reporting to the Crown Princess, the enemies in the four secret passages have been completely wiped out. The rebel Shang Yunze led nearly 10,000 people, and now all the rebels have been killed."

Qin Wan was very happy, "Okay, Commander Mu did a good job. When the prince returns to the capital, there will be a generous reward."

Mu Qing returned to his original position.

At this time, the young official next to Xie Yu'an stood up and said, "I, Cui Jiaxing, the Minister of the Dali Temple, come to see the Crown Princess."

Qin Wan looked at the young Dali Temple official and nodded, "Sir Cui, the officials detained in the Dali Temple are all serious criminals in the court. Sir Cui, please interrogate them carefully and find out their accomplices."

Cui Jiaxing replied, "Crown Princess, this incident involves many people, including the Minister of Justice. I'm afraid this will require a joint trial by the three courts."

Qin Wan shook her head. "No need. Lord Cui, interrogate him first and find out as much as you can!"

Qin Wan had seen those joint investigations on TV, but in the end, the cases became even more chaotic because of the conflicts of interest among various parties.

Cui Jiaxing: “????”

Cui Jiaxing was also sweating profusely, wondering if the Crown Princess trusted him too much.

Cui Jiaxing took a look and called for help.

At this time, the Minister of the Central Secretariat Li Chun stood up and said, "Crown Princess, in the past, such important cases had to be tried by the three courts. They had to be tried by the Grand Justice, the Minister of Justice, and the Chief Censor."

Qin Wan didn't care. "Ma Shangshu is in charge of the Ministry of Justice. All cases in the country are handled by the Ministry of Justice. But he is actually the biggest spy chief. It's ridiculous to say it out loud!"

Li Chun: “?????”

Spy chief?

"Princess, what is a spy chief?" Li Chun couldn't help but ask.

Qin Wan: “…”

Qin Wan thought to herself that it was bad, and in her panic, she called out the name used by later generations.

Qin Wan coughed lightly, "That's what traitors mean!

The title is not important. In short, all officials in the Ministry of Justice must be investigated!

Ma Zhao has been in charge of the Ministry of Justice for many years, so he must have many followers, and we must root them out now."

"Also, we need to focus on investigating Ma Zhao. I remember that it was him who recommended the Crown Prince to lead the troops to the battle. The Crown Prince was ambushed in Shangjun, and this person is definitely involved!"

Li Chun: “……”

Oh no, the Crown Princess is trying to take advantage of this situation!

At the grand court meeting, many people suggested that the prince go to war.

He also seconded the proposal at first.

Forget it, he should just be honest!

"Yes, Crown Princess is wise. Ma Zhao and all the officials in the Ministry of Justice must conduct a thorough investigation! No one should be let off!"

Cui Jiaxing: “.........”
