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

Because Gu Jianchu had overlooked it before, Xie Ci'an also didn't know about the royal gardens.

The people under him were also searching for evidence according to the direction he provided. Although they could find the royal gardens, it would take time.

What the Queen revealed must be true.

"Wen Zhu, have the people from the Imperial City Bureau go to Lingnan immediately to investigate these matters thoroughly. Anyone who obstructs will be killed without mercy." Xie Ci'an threw his badge to Wen Zhu.

Xie Ci'an tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and before Wen Zhu walked away, he spoke again, "Also, all officials from Lingnan involved in this incident, as well as their families, will be escorted to the capital for punishment. Anyone who disobeys will be executed on the spot."

The people who were originally worried about whether the officials would protect each other, were relieved after hearing Xie Ci'an's handling of the matter, and everyone began to complain about their grievances.

The King of the Southwest, who had been able to struggle at first, collapsed to the ground like a dead fish after hearing what happened next.

[These men who can't control their lower bodies should all become eunuchs to relieve their hatred.]

Now Xie Ci'an's thoughts are inexplicably consistent with the Queen's.

"Your Majesty, how do you deal with the matter of the King of the Southwest?" Dou Wen stood beside Xie Ci'an with a humble attitude, not daring to breathe.

Being so close to the emperor, he could clearly feel the emperor's heavy aura, and he was also afraid of being implicated.

"Take the man to the palace."

When Xie Ci'an's voice came out, Dou Wen even thought he had heard it wrong, but this kind of punishment was quite suitable for a bad person like the King of Southwest. Dou Wen was also very angry about the King of Southwest's crime, otherwise he would not have taken the lead in asking the emperor how to deal with it.

After the emperor gave the order, Dou Wen immediately ordered the bailiffs to take the man away for execution.

"Tell Gu Jianbai to lead the soldiers to arrest the people from the southwestern palace in the capital and take them to the Imperial City Prison. We will deal with them separately after the people who went to Lingnan to search for evidence come back." Xie Ci'an picked up a token and threw it on the ground.

Now the situation in Liaodong has stabilized. Without the emperor's order, the father and son of Nanping Marquis are still staying in the capital. Although Xie Ci'an did not seize the military power of Liaodong, the fact that the father and son were left in the capital inevitably caused a lot of discussion. In order to appease the Gu family, Xie Ci'an handed over the Wucheng Bingmasi to Gu Jianbai.

The fact that the emperor did not detain the man in the Ministry of Justice prison, but directly locked him up in the Imperial City Administration, showed that it was impossible for the Southwestern Prince's Palace to turn things around.

What kind of place is the Imperial City Bureau? Once you enter the Imperial City Bureau, you basically cannot get out without being severely tortured.

The people in Lingnan don’t understand, but everyone in the capital knows it.

Seeing that the King of Southwest was imprisoned, the people breathed a sigh of relief. Some cried for joy, some felt that their hatred had been avenged, and some could not help crying, but their loved ones were no longer around.

In such an atmosphere, people feel very uncomfortable.

Xie Ci'an spoke again, "Zhou Hui, take your men and make arrangements for these civilians. Make sure they are safe."

"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty, for speaking up for me and the people of Lingnan." Zhou Hui kowtowed in gratitude.

The other people followed suit and kowtowed to the emperor to express their gratitude.

After dealing with these things, Xie Ci'an went directly to the back hall to find Gu Jianchu.

Gu Jianchu, like the other people, felt instantly better after hearing that the King of Southwest had been arrested. With a rosy face, he threw himself into Xie Ci'an's arms and said, "Your Majesty is truly wise and powerful. He is a blessing to the people."

Xie Ci'an took the opportunity to hug Gu Jianchu's slender waist.

If there was any mistake in his handling of the matter, he would probably not be considered wise and brave in the eyes of the Queen.

"I am so wise and brave, will Achu give me any reward?" Xie Ci'an leaned close to Gu Jianchu's ear, and his low voice sounded in her ear, accompanied by warm breath spraying on her earlobe.

The warm breath with an itchy feeling spread to every part of my body.

Her earlobe instantly turned a faint red.

Gu Jianchu leaned in Xie Ci'an's arms, tiptoed forward and kissed the corner of Xie Ci'an's lips lightly.

Just as she was about to step back, Xie Ci'an grabbed her waist and pulled her into his arms.

Gu Jianchu crashed into Xie Ci'an's arms. When Xie Ci'an leaned over and was about to deepen the kiss again, Dou Wen stumbled in, "Your Majesty..."

Before he could finish the rest of the words, he saw the emperor and empress hugging each other and almost kissing. Dou Wen was so scared that he immediately turned his back, not daring to look in this direction any more, his heart pounding.

How could he be so unruly? If he saw such a scene, would the emperor kill him to silence him?

Gu Jianchu didn't expect to be caught by someone. His face turned red instantly and he quickly pushed Xie Ci'an away.

Xie Ci'an clenched his fists at his side, looked at Dou Wen with sinister eyes, and suppressed his rage, "What's the matter?"

Dou Wen slowly turned around, lowering his head and not daring to look up at the Emperor and Empress. "The Prince of Southwest came over with a bruised face and nose. He said he was beaten and wanted to report it to the authorities."

Unable to stop laughing, Ajie Ren became increasingly furious as she thought about it. She brought along the servants from the mansion, dressed as beggars, and found Yanxu in the alleyway on her way back to the Siyi Pavilion. They tied her up with a sack over her head, then ordered the servants to beat her up, scratching her face. They then threw her into the stinking ditch.

When Yanxu woke up, she found herself in a stinking ditch. She was instantly enraged and rushed to the Dali Temple to report the crime without a second thought.

[I felt like laughing, but also a little sympathetic to Yanxu, who had no idea that the world outside was changing.]

[Is this another way of walking into a trap?]

Xie Ci'an had calmed down a bit. "Is there any need to ask me for instructions on such matters? The King of Southwest and his men have offended so many people. Anyone could beat them up to vent their anger. Just interrogate them and send them to the Imperial City Division." Xie Ci'an's tone was a little softer than before.

Dou Wen only came to ask for instructions because he was unsure. After getting the emperor's permission, Dou Wen ran out with big strides. Because he ran so fast, he almost lost his official hat.

Outside, Yan Xu was smelling terrible, and the Dali Temple officials couldn't help but step away when they saw him.

After waiting for Dou Wen to come out, Yan Xu ran to him. Even though he was three meters away, Dou Wen could smell the stinky smell on him. "Did you fall into the septic tank? Take him away from you."

The yamen runners didn't dare to go forward to pull it out, for fear that the dirt would get on them, so they had to hold sticks in front of Yan Xu.

Yan Xu was afraid that the stick would hurt her, so she stopped where she was and didn't dare to move forward. "Sir, please help me. I was walking on the road for no reason and was kidnapped. They also threw me into a stinking ditch. Look at me, I'm almost disfigured."

[Don't mention it, if he didn't admit it himself, no one would recognize that this was the former Prince of Southwest.]

Thinking of the disgusting things that the King of Southwest had done, Dou Wen was not very friendly to Yan Xu, "Then did you see who tied you up?"

"If I had seen it, I would have brought people to attack him directly. Why would I come to your Dali Temple?" Yan Xu looked particularly funny with her hands on her hips and her dirty clothes.
