Dressed as a beauty to be selected, the game starts in hell mode!

Qixiang Palace.

"Master, something bad has happened!"

Early in the morning, Cui Lan ran in hurriedly, her little face full of fear and panic.

"What happened?!"

Lady Du Qingchang was writing quietly. When she saw Cui Lan's panic-stricken look, her hands began to tremble, and the piece of calligraphy she had almost finished was ruined.

"Master, the master reported Hua Zhaorong for Hua Jibai, saying that she seduced the king, interfered in the imperial examinations, and made irresponsible comments on state affairs... As a result, the emperor bluntly said that Hua Jibai had bad conduct, was cruel and ruthless to his own sister, and was contemptuous and provocative to the royal family, not worthy of being a Dayan official, and summoned the head of the Hua clan to the palace."

"The head of the Hua clan went to the palace to plead guilty and revealed all the shameful things that happened to the Hua family. They treated and persecuted Hua Zhaorong harshly, cut off her offspring, and disregarded blood ties. They are simply not worthy of being human!"

When Cui Lan said this, her tone couldn't help but reveal her disdain and hatred for the Hua family.

"But the most terrifying thing is that the affair between Hua Jibai, the eldest son of the Hua family, and his adopted sister Hua Linlang, who disregarded human ethics, was also exposed by the head of the Hua family..."

"The master was so angry that he fainted in the court."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty said that although I am an imperial censor, I don't know how to judge people. I defended and excused beasts. I also made a scene in the court. I took away my position as an imperial censor, demoted me three levels, and fined me one year's salary..."

Cui Lan almost cried when she said this.

Their master was such a good man, but he was badly betrayed by Hua Jibai.

"what?!"

Lady Du Qingshang was horrified and stood up suddenly, her body shaking unconsciously.

"How is my father now? Is he awake? Is he okay?!" Du Qingshang asked repeatedly.

Cui Lan held back her tears and said, "The imperial physician examined the master and said that he was fine. He just fainted due to excessive emotional fluctuations. He has woken up now and has been sent back to the Du Mansion..."

Lady Du finally put her heart back into her stomach. Her face was still pale, but she murmured, "It's okay! It's okay! I'm glad that he's okay!"

I hope her father can calm down after this ordeal, and not be so irritable and volatile, and not fall into other people's traps and be used as a tool by others.

After Lady Du calmed down her agitated emotions, she asked again in confusion, "Didn't I take the message to the Du Mansion last night? Why did Dad submit the memorial anyway?!"

"It must be that we sent the message too late last night, and the master acted too quickly..." Cui Lan stamped her feet.

Lady Du suddenly realized, "Yes! This must be the reason!"

"My father has always been impatient!"

I didn't expect that Hua Jibai and Hua Linlang, who are siblings, are secretly in love with each other. They are really evil.

Yesterday, the person from Yikun Palace sent someone to tell them the news, but they were skeptical. Now that they think about it, they were really judging others by their own standards.

The man was kind enough to save her sister from danger, but her father turned around and reported him.

This... How can she meet Hua Zhaorong in the future?

"Cui Lan, take some good things with you and let's go to Yikun Palace to apologize to Ling Zhaorong." Concubine Du thought for a moment and then gave the order.

“Yes,” Cui Lan responded.

……

The harem soon learned about the turmoil in the previous dynasty.

Upon learning that Ling Zhaorong was safe and sound, some people were furious, thinking that the emperor was too partial to her for protecting her like this; but some people felt that Ling Zhaorong was too miserable, and that they should not have laughed at her behind her back.

For a time, the voices in the palace mocking Ling Zhaorong for coming from a merchant family and being a vulgar person disappeared.

When Concubine Ping saw that there was no more fun to watch so soon, she immediately lost interest.

At this time, Concubine Jin of Qingliang Palace was also paying attention to this drama. Compared with other concubines who were concerned about Ling Zhaorong's fate, she was more concerned about the emperor's reaction. After hearing the emperor say:

"...As for your allegation that Ling Zhaorong interfered in government affairs, that is sheer nonsense!"

"Ling Zhaorong is weak and needs to stay in bed for half a month. She is my bedmate. I need Ling Zhaorong to ask for help after seeing the culprit who hurt her to this point? I am already being generous by not ordering him to death on the spot!"

……

"The pillow person?!"

"Does the Emperor actually treat her as his bedmate?!"

"She...how can she...deserve him?!"

Concubine Jin looked a little dazed and her voice was hoarse.

The servants around him were all silent and no one dared to disturb him.

……

Du Fu.

Du Xun'an, who was carried back, leaned on the bed, his face full of self-blame, and he seemed to have aged several years.

"Master, please stop feeling guilty."

"You were also deceived by that villain. Who could have thought that he was such a vicious person?!"

Mrs. Du served soup to the side and whispered comfortingly.

Her master was a man who would not tolerate any injustice. On the one hand, he was deceived by Hua Jibai's gentlemanly appearance and believed him; on the other hand, he was concerned about his little daughter and was confused.

This morning, after the master left for court, she received a letter from the eldest daughter in the palace. The content of the letter almost scared her to death.

The Hua family is such a despicable family!

Hua Jibai is such a disgusting and dirty person!

What would happen if her youngest daughter married him? She couldn't even imagine it.

Your Majesty has done a good job!

As expected, it takes the emperor’s keen eye to identify people!

"You are just blocking the disaster for your little daughter!"

"Good blocking!"

"Isn't it just a three-level demotion and a one-year salary penalty?!"

"As long as my little daughter doesn't fall into that den of wolves and tigers, it's worth it even if you are dismissed from office!"

After hearing what his wife said, Du Xun'an regained some spirit in his eyes. He took two sips of the medicine from his wife's hand, then smiled bitterly and said, "It's my fault this time!"

"I was blinded by this fake Hua Jibai, and I began to doubt the emperor. I was disrespectful to the monarch, and the emperor should punish me!"

This ending is already very good.

It doesn't matter if he loses some face. It's a good thing that his youngest daughter didn't marry into a dire strait.

After figuring it out, he let out a long breath and said with a slow smile: "Our emperor is really amazing! He scolds me so badly that I can't even lift my head."

"What's even more amazing is that I just connected with all the adults last night, and today the emperor has even prepared the head of the Hua family..."

Seeing Mrs. Du's confused expression, Du Xun'an swallowed the rest of the words. Forget it, I won't say any more. Even if I say anything, Mrs. Du won't understand!

The Emperor has always been wise and enlightened. Didn't he know this a long time ago? !

As for the evil Hua family and Hua Jibai...

Du Xun'an sneered.

The Yongchang Mansion has always had a grudge against the Hua family. They have been targeting the Hua family for more than a day or two. In the past, they only hindered Hua Zhaorong and he did not dare to take action against them. Now that this opportunity is in front of them, how can they let it go? !

The emperor accepted the advice of Duke Yongchang: "Hua Jibai will be deprived of his title as a juren, and the entire Hua family will be confiscated, with all their property to be compensated to Ling Zhaorong. Hua Lian, Zheng Ru, Hua Jibai, Hua Tingjian, and Hua Linlang are guilty of serious crimes and will be exiled to Ningguta in the far north. They will not be pardoned even if they are pardoned! Merchants and concubines will be exiled along with them!"
