After the tragic death of the daughter of the emperor, she returned to her former marriage and refus

Yan Shuyao's tears fell desperately.

She had never suffered such a great injustice in her life.

The Yan Yunshu in front of her was not only harsh in her words, but also hit her!

After she was beaten, she had nowhere to turn to!

She looked around at the female relatives who were watching the fun. Many of them were the ones who had humiliated and ridiculed Yan Yunshu with her in the past. But at this moment, no one stood up to speak for her.

Even though she had just defended Zhu Nianyan and they didn't agree with her, she was being beaten now! This was completely different!

how come……

Is it possible...

Could it be that everyone has already realized the deep meaning of the imperial edict, and knows that Xu Jinghuai is about to ascend to the throne and Yan Yunshu is very likely to become the queen, so no one dares to say a word about Yan Yunshu?

But obviously, everything has not happened yet. Maybe the person sitting on the throne will be Xu Jingye.

And the position of queen, no matter who becomes emperor, will belong to her, Yan Shuyao!

Yan Shuyao gave everyone an expression that said you will regret it.

Then he tried his best to control his emotions and said in a low voice, "Yan Yunshu, don't be too proud too soon."

Yan Yunshu paused and smiled contemptuously.

Inside, the two sides were deadlocked because of Zhu Nianyan's special identity.

In line with the principle of fairness and justice in Datianze, Xu Jinghuai refused to let them take the butcher away.

So, the butcher's pig-killing screams still echoed throughout the Tianxiang Tower.

Each word is more unbearable to hear than the last.

Most of what he said were the private things that Zhu Nianyan told him after drinking. What was even more outrageous was that he even told about the torture and killing of slaves.

Although it is all nonsense, there is no evidence and it cannot be taken seriously.

But today, Tianxiang Tower is full of Tianze dignitaries, and Zhu Nianyan's reputation is completely ruined.

Zhu Nianyan was desperate.

He looked helplessly at his father, Prime Minister Yan.

Now, he just wants to save his life.

Prime Minister Yan looked at Zhu Nianyan, who was once so glorious, and now looked so haggard and pitiful. He felt so sad in his heart, but no matter how sad he was, he could only show one ten-thousandth of it.

So, he almost forced himself to smile and said to Xu Jinghuai, "Your Highness, today's incident is just a farce. Why don't we just let it go and let them both go home."

Xu Jingye also said, "It's just some romantic affairs, not worth making a big deal about."

"It is indeed just a romantic affair, but this affair happened in the female guest lounge of Tianxiang Tower. How can we just let it go?" Xu Jinghuai looked at the two of them coldly, then looked at Zhu Nianyan.

"I never thought that Minister Zhu, once an official, would appear to be so upright and noble, but in reality he is so filthy!"

Xu Jinghuai's eyes were full of sarcasm, and the humiliation he felt was evident in his words.

Prime Minister Yan felt even more uncomfortable and could not bear to watch this scene for a moment.

He couldn't help but say, "Your Highnesses, I believe that the butcher trespassed into the women's section and assaulted an official of the imperial court. He deserves to be punished and detained by the Dali Temple pending trial. Minister Zhu's behavior was inappropriate, but considering that he was drunk and acted without any subjective intention, his punishment can be mitigated. He can be fined half a year's salary and be confined to reflect on his mistakes for a hundred days."

The butcher disagreed, but he had indeed hit Zhu Nianyan just now, and with so many people watching, he had no way to defend himself and did not dare to say anything.

Xu Jingye nodded quickly, "The Prime Minister's arrangement is reasonable and I think it's acceptable."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at Xu Jinghuai.

Prime Minister Yan was so nervous that he was sweating profusely.

Zhu Nianyan was so panicked that he couldn't even stand.

Who is Xu Jinghuai? How could he let Zhu Nianyan go so easily? I'm afraid he must disagree!

Unexpectedly, Xu Jinghuai's face, which had been as cold as ice for thousands of years, broke into a very meaningful smile.

"can."

He agreed, he actually agreed!

Prime Minister Yan, Xu Jingye, and Zhu Nianyan all breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially Prime Minister Yan, he knew Xu Jinghuai's style of doing things very well. He had no hope at first, it was just a last-ditch effort.

Who knew that Xu Jinghuai actually agreed.

He was so ecstatic that he didn't have time to think deeply about why Xu Jinghuai was so talkative out of character, and whether there must be something fishy going on.

The happiness on his face could not be concealed.

Xu Jinghuai looked at Zhu Nianyan, then at Prime Minister Yan, and said, "Prime Minister, I agreed today to give you face, but Prime Minister, your vision is still a little lacking."

what?

Prime Minister Yan was stunned.

Why does this sound so familiar?

Oh, now I remember, his bastard eldest son also said that he has poor vision.

His face suddenly turned sour.

"Your Highness, those are just rumors. This Prime Minister and Minister Zhu are innocent. It's just that this Prime Minister values Minister Zhu's talent, so he pays special attention to him."

"Really? But I think Minister Zhu is just a good-for-nothing and a drunkard."

"Your Highness, Minister Zhu is the runner-up in my imperial examination..."

"Minister Zhu's second place is a result of the Prime Minister's considerable influence..."

"Your Highness, you must not wrongly accuse this humble minister, nor Minister Zhu!"

"Prime Minister, there is no need to get excited. I know what is going on."

"Your Highness!"

"The Prime Minister and Minister Zhu are in perfect harmony, their bond stronger than gold. This truly moves me."

"Your Highness, Minister Zhu and I have not..."

"Really? Then I won't give the Prime Minister this face. I'll take Zhu Nianyan back to the Ministry of Justice for a thorough interrogation..."

"Your Highness, Your Highness is right, everything Your Highness said is right!"

Prime Minister Yan hurriedly knelt down and confirmed the gossip.

He didn't want to either, but he had no choice. He had to protect Zhu Nianyan!

However, as soon as Prime Minister Yan said this, the entire Tianxiang Tower fell silent. When the guess was confirmed so bluntly by the person involved, everyone was still shocked.

Prime Minister Yan and Zhu Nianyan are indeed a pair of lovers!

The forbidden love between the prime minister of a country and the vice minister of the Ministry of Revenue quickly spread beyond Tianxiang Tower and spread to every corner of Tianze.

At this moment, Xu Jinghuai smiled meaningfully. He looked at Zhu Nianyan, "Zhu Nianyan!"

Zhu Nianyan knelt down with a plop, "Your Highness, please forgive me."

"For Prime Minister Yan's sake, I will release you today. All punishments will be determined according to what the Prime Minister just said. Do you have any objections?"

"Your Highness, I accept the blame!"

"Ah."

Xu Jinghuai didn't say anything more and went straight out of the inner room. He glanced at Yan Yunshu who was watching the fun and eating, nodded at her, and left.

Yan Yunshu understood what was going on, patted her skirt, and stood up.

I want to leave Tianxiang Tower and return to the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong.

Today’s coming-of-age ceremony has been completed and the excitement has ended.

You don't have to stay here long.

But she had just taken a few steps.

He was stopped by Prime Minister Yan, Xu Jingye, and Yan Shuyao who came hurriedly.

"evil creature!"

"Yan Yunshu! You are so arrogant! How dare you hit my future princess!"

Prime Minister Yan and Xu Jingye shouted at Yan Yunshu one by one.

Yan Yunshu didn't answer and walked straight towards the entrance of the hall.

"Stop!"
