The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

On the way here, the King of Southwest had already heard that the people of Lingnan had come to beat the drum to report their crimes.

After warning the people with his eyes, he walked to the front and saluted the emperor. "Your Majesty, I greet you. Yesterday, I sent someone to bring you the Cloud Mist Tea. I wonder how it tasted to you."

When the people were warned by the King of Southwest, they couldn't help but shrink their necks in fear. Especially when they saw the King of Southwest speaking to the emperor so familiarly, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts, and the courage they had mustered disappeared in an instant.

"Something's wrong." Gu Jianchu frowned.

Zhu Xia has been following Gu Jianchu and looking outside, "Something is wrong with the queen."

"These people came to file a complaint with the emperor. Seeing the culprit, shouldn't they be passionately expressing their grievances? Instead, they are acting like eggplants hit by frost."

Damn, the King of Southwest is truly shameless. He knows those people are afraid of him, and their complaints to the Emperor are merely impulsive. So, he gives them a warning with his eyes, then uses Cloud Mist Tea to deliberately ingratiate himself with the Emperor. He wants them to know that he has a good relationship with the Emperor, and that even if they file a complaint, it's useless; the Emperor won't hear their case. They'll be in trouble when they return to Lingnan.

I was so angry that my fists were stiff. What kind of villain is the King of the Southwest? He's playing such a trick in front of the Emperor, rubbing the Emperor's reputation into the ground. He wants the people of Lingnan to know that the Emperor is a tyrant and give up filing a complaint. That way, no one will know about his crimes, and he can return to Lingnan and continue to be an accomplice to the evil.

[What a vicious, truly vicious thought.]

[I'm so pissed off by this wicked person. Even the mammary glands of melon eaters are mammary glands. I really don't know how the people of Lingnan have been living these past few years.]

Although I couldn't be with Gu Jianchu, I could imagine that Gu Jianchu's face must be puffed up with anger at this moment.

Xie Ci'an sneered, suppressing the anger rising in his heart. "King Hai of the Southwest is really a man of good taste. Even after being reported to me, he still has the mood to appreciate your cloud tea."

The Prince of Southwest stopped walking towards the side chair and looked at the Emperor with a guilty look on his face. "Your Majesty, these are just some ignorant and unruly people. They are suing me for such a trivial matter. I feel so wronged."

"Really?" Xie Ci'an looked at the people kneeling on the ground again.

The ignored King of Southwest could only stand there in a daze, warning the people with his eyes.

People who have been bullied for a long time, even if they have the urge to rebel, will inevitably panic when they see that look, and their bodies will tremble unnaturally in an attempt to avoid the bullying gaze.

Xie Ci'an also noticed the strangeness of these people, "Don't be afraid, I will take care of you if there is anything."

Xie Ci'an's words had little effect on the people.

They just saw the King of Southwest and couldn't help trembling all over.

The King of the Southwest looked at them, not daring to say a word. His panic eased considerably, and a faint smile appeared on his fat face. "Your Majesty, look at what I have said. They are just framing me for some insignificant things and wasting your time."

"Who told you to come to the capital to sue me? Are they those court officials who have a grudge against me? They just can't stand seeing me doing well, so they use such despicable means to frame me." The King of Southwest has already pointed his spearhead at the people kneeling on the ground.

The lives of these people are in his hands.

They didn't dare to come to the capital to file a complaint, and some of them were just instigated by others.

And the target who can provoke them is already obvious.

Xie Ci'an pinched his brows with a headache.

Although he had collected some evidence, it would be difficult to convict the King of Southwest if these people did not speak up.

[You really know how to flatter yourself. There's no minister in the court who doesn't agree with you. Even those officials in Lingnan have long been your right-hand men, treacherous sycophants who aid and abet the tyrant.]

The King of the Southwest is too much of a nuisance here. With him here, the people dare not speak up, unless...

Gu Jianchu was lost in thought when Zhu Xia whispered in her ear, "Empress Yunhe is back."

【The fun is about to begin. 】

From the Queen's inner thoughts, we can tell that she should take some action.

Before Xie Ci'an could think about it, a man in a black robe with a sword on his waist came towards him. Before he got close, the King of Southwest recognized him as the young guard who had eloped with his daughter.

The moment I saw the young guard, a bad premonition came to my mind.

My eyelids couldn't help but twitch a few times.

"No one ordered us to do this, there were no court officials who were at odds with the prince, and no one bribed us to go against the prince." As he said this, Zhou Hui lifted his robe and knelt in front of everyone.

"Your Majesty, I, a humble commoner, also want to file a complaint." Zhou Hui looked determined and did not look at the King of Southwest.

Upon hearing this, King Southwest felt dizzy. He now realized why his eyelids had been twitching.

"You kidnapped my daughter and I haven't taught you a lesson yet. Now you've grown strong and want to take revenge on me?" The King of the Southwest said as he raised his foot to kick Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui knelt straight, not afraid of the threat from the King of Southwest at all.

The King of the Southwest's foot didn't land on him as expected. Chongfeng, holding his sword, stood before the King of the Southwest, his cold face filled with warnings. "How dare you act so wildly in front of the Emperor? Do you, King of the Southwest, want to die?"

The King of the Southwest looked at the sword across his neck and unconsciously shrank back.

Zhou Hui is the good show that the queen talked about.

Xie Ci'an watched calmly, but Dou Wen, standing next to him, asked excitedly, "Who are you going to sue?"

"I wish to sue the King of the Southwest. While hunting, he coveted my sister's beauty, and, driven to animalistic rage, raped her in the hunting grounds. When I discovered her, she was already dying. I took her home to recuperate for a while. When she regained her spirits, I discovered she was pregnant with that beast's child. Unable to bear the humiliation, she jumped off a cliff and committed suicide. Before she died, she left a letter in blood."

As he spoke, Zhou Hui took out a piece of folded and ironed white silk from his sleeve. Red bloodstains could be faintly seen on the silk.

Cheng Song stepped forward and spread out the white silk in front of Xie Ci'an.

Without waiting for Dou Wen to ask more questions, Zhou Hui very consciously took out a jade pendant and said, "This is the jade pendant that my sister took from the King of the Southwest. I secretly asked someone at the time and can confirm that it is a personal item of the King of the Southwest."

After entering the Southwest Prince's Palace, Zhou Hui managed to save up two hundred taels of silver to redeem the jade pendant from the pawnshop. Zhou Hui knew the jade pendant was a valuable piece of evidence.

"It was that woman who seduced me first, otherwise why would I touch a lowly commoner." The King of the Southwest's eyes were full of contempt.

I thought it was a big deal, but it was just a small matter that couldn't shake his foundation. Even if it was brought to the emperor, it would be easily resolved.
