The naive concubine is only interested in being a bad person. Your Majesty, please change your favor

Xiahou Xuan was very angry, and the court officials under him also felt very guilty because of what Xiahou Xuan said.

Only Xia Qingyuan still had his back straight, and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had just said.

"Your Majesty, this cannot be confused. If Your Majesty really thinks that Concubine Xi is innocent and should not be executed, then Your Majesty should treat Concubine Xi equally, so that Concubine Xi will not bear this infamy!"

Not only did Xia Qingyuan not restrain himself, he even continued to confront Xiahou Xuan.

Xiahou Xuan glared at him and was about to continue scolding him, but Jiang Wange raised his hand to stop him. Xiahou Xuan was slightly stunned, but ultimately said nothing.

"Master Xia, may I ask you a few words?"

Jiang Wange walked straight up to Xia Qingyuan and asked him.

"Princess Xi, may I ask——"

"May I ask, Lord Xia, what is the original intention of the emperor's policy of treating everyone equally?"

"Of course, it is to give birth to an heir and expand the royal family."

"Then am I pregnant with a dragon heir now?"

"Yes...but..."

"The second question is, has Your Majesty ever delayed state affairs because of his favor towards me?"

"No...but this is different from..."

"The third question is, does this palace have cholera in the harem now, affecting the decisions inside and outside the court?"

Xia Qingyuan: .....

"Please answer my question directly, Master Xia."

Jiang Wange pressed forward step by step, not giving Xia Qingyuan any chance to breathe.

"Not yet."

After Xia Qingyuan finished answering, his eyes became deep. He now realized that Jiang Wange was not easy to deal with. No wonder the Queen Mother and Qing Qian both lost to Concubine Xi.

"I have not affected His Majesty's desire for offspring, nor have I caused cholera in the harem to affect the court. I have also provided advice to the state and provided blueprints for building a dam. What qualifications do you have to suggest that His Majesty sentence me to death? Is it because you are wearing an official hat? I'm afraid you have forgotten that you are wearing an official hat, and what responsibilities you should bear? Now everyone in the court is asking me, a weak woman, what a real man should do. Today I have really opened my eyes."

Jiang Wange's words directly touched the hearts of these high-ranking officials wearing black hats, and they immediately felt ashamed.

Even Xia Qingyuan couldn't come up with any reason to refute.

Xiahou Xuan looked at Jiang Wange with pride and said, "Look, look, do you think my Wanwan is easy to bully? You want me to execute Wanwan? What are you dreaming about?"

"Why are you all silent? When your majesty was worried about the flood in Jiangnan, it was me who offered advice and provided a blueprint for building a dam. Some of you even caused trouble for your majesty and tried to conceal the truth about the flood in Jiangnan. It's funny to say that officials are corrupt and harm the people, while the concubines are giving advice. It's really putting the cart before the horse. Don't you think it's funny?"

After Jiang Wange finished speaking, she showed everyone a very bright and stunning smile. That smile made it seem as if she was sure of victory, as if she was mocking all the officials in the court.

At this point, Jiang Wange has not finished yet and continues:

"Your Majesty, I have said everything I need to say. If Your Majesty wants to execute me, you don't have to wait until I give birth to an heir. Do it now and let my blood wake up these adults who are pretending to be deaf and dumb."

"Wanwan's words make me feel ashamed. If I really execute you because of these rumors, then I will be a truly incompetent ruler."

After that, Xiahou Xuan directly put his arm around Jiang Wange's shoulders, and then said to everyone:

"All the officials who advised me to clean up the imperial court just now, kneel here. Without my order, you are not allowed to stand up. As for the others, please disperse--"

After saying that, Xiahou Xuan left with Jiang Wange in a leisurely manner.

Xiahou Cong couldn't help but glance at Xia Qingyuan and said sarcastically:

"Lord Xia originally thought he could use this to threaten my brother, but who would have thought that he would end up making things worse and injuring himself by eight thousand. This is truly a good deal, hahahaha..."

Xia Qingyuan clenched his hands and lowered his eyes:

What a great Concubine Xi! I’ve learned a lot!

Jiang Wange stayed in Longyin Palace directly and did not return to Fengming Palace.

"If I hadn't arrived in time, would His Majesty have really executed me?"

"How is that possible? I will chop off all these people's heads and won't touch you at all."

Xiahou Xuan spoke very seriously and did not mean to be joking.

What happened in the court today, in a small sense, was that they were advising the emperor to treat everyone equally so as not to favor one person too much and cause chaos in the harem; but in a big sense, they were forcing the emperor to bow to them and admit that he was wrong.

Xiahou Xuan would never let them get their wish no matter what.

"Hmph, they don't want His Majesty to treat everyone equally. They want to kill me. They are using the name of clearing the court of evildoers to do good for His Majesty to eliminate a concubine who is not good for them." Jiang Wange couldn't help but sneer.

"Wanwan, what you said just now was very good. I like to hear you say that. It seems that the words you usually say to me are all reserved. I have to thank Wanwan."

Only today did Xiahou Xuan realize how good Jiang Wange's eloquence was. With just a few words, he left a veteran like Xia Qingyuan speechless.

"Your Majesty, it's good to know that I am usually lazy, so I don't bother to quarrel. If we really quarrel, I guarantee that no one in the court or the country can match me and will be drowned by my spit."

Jiang Wange smiled very proudly. She was not bragging. With her years of experience in watching short videos and palace fighting dramas, how could she lose to these pedantic ancient people?

"But why did Wanwan suddenly come to the court? Shouldn't you still be asleep?"

Xiahou Xuan looked at Jiang Wange with great suspicion.

"Ah, speaking of this, I don't know who tipped me off, saying that someone in the court was trying to make things difficult for you, or even for me, and asked me to find a way to prove my innocence in the court, otherwise I might end up dead."

As he spoke, Jiang Wange took out a note and handed it to Xiahou Xuan.

"Qianyue found this note in the yard. After she picked it up, she woke me up immediately. When I woke up and saw the note, I immediately washed up and rushed over."

Jiang Wange and Xiahou Xuan explained the origin of the note and also expressed their confusion about its source.

Who knew about the situation in the court in advance and tipped off himself?

If Jiang Wange knew about this, he would really have to thank him.

Xiahou Xuan took a look at the handwriting, which was clearly in small regular script with flowers on the hairpin. It was obviously a woman's handwriting. The women in this harem were none other than his concubines.

But how could the concubines know what happened in the court?

Xiahou Xuan thought about it and fell into deep thought.

"But how long does Your Majesty intend to keep them kneeling?"

"Kneel down until they behave themselves and someone comes to plead for them."

Xiahou Xuan gave Jiang Wange an unfathomable smile, telling him not to worry, as he knew what to do.
