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

The young guard said cautiously, "A couple came outside, holding a petition in their hands. They said they wanted to sue Guo Qian, a student at Yousong Academy, and the dean of Yousong Academy."

The voices behind the young guard's words were getting smaller and smaller.

Guo Qian repeatedly sent his wife to Dean Wu's bed, hoping to make money from her. Finally, unable to endure this kind of life, his wife committed suicide by jumping into the river. Previously, Guo Qian and Dean Wu, fearing a catastrophic incident, had both said Guo Qian's wife had accidentally fallen into the water, and the incident had been brushed aside.

Unexpectedly, Guo Qian had been very affectionate with his wife when they first got married. He taught her to read and write. Although she was just a country woman, she was literate. Before she jumped into the river to commit suicide, she wrote a letter in blood and hid it in her clothes.

His wife's parents were heartbroken and wanted to come and pack up some of his wife's clothes to take back as a keepsake. Guo Qian, feeling guilty, didn't dare let them come, so he gave them all of his wife's things. Coincidentally, the things were hidden among the clothes he had given his parents.

Although illiterate, his wife's parents recognized the blood letter and asked the village children who attended a private school to read it to them. With their innocent eyes, the children read the blood letter word for word, and the parents learned the true cause of their daughter's death. They went to Guo Qian's house and started a fight. Fearing embarrassment if the matter became public, Guo Qian said that his daughter had been undisciplined and had been having an affair with the dean of the academy, and he had discovered it. His wife, feeling humiliated, chose to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

Apparently, the parents didn't believe Guo Qian's story. After all, the blood letter was real. It was impossible for their daughter to write such a letter without any reason. They tried to make a scene again, but Guo Qian simply drove them away.

[Coincidentally, the expelled parents happened to meet Wen Zhu, who was sent by the Emperor to investigate Dean Wu.]

Because the incident had become quite serious, the people living near Guo Qian were all talking about it. After hearing about it from the people, Wen Zhu returned and found the parents who had been driven away. He also saw the blood letter in their hands. Wen Zhu suggested that they come to the palace to file a complaint, and someone would naturally stand up for them.

Wen Zhu is the Emperor's calamity. Shouldn't this matter be referred to the Supreme Court? Is Wen Zhu afraid that the Emperor isn't angry enough, or is she being exploited by the Emperor for too long and wants to deliberately seek revenge on him? They're in a love-hate relationship.

It turned out that after seeing the blood letter, Wen Zhu confirmed that the couple was not making up stories. Since the emperor asked him to investigate Dean Wu, he must have some suspicions about him, which is why he directly sent people to the palace and the Dali Temple. Dou Wen would definitely accept the case, but the procedures required would be very complicated.

The ministers felt a chill in their backs. They felt that they were not here to attend the Qujiang Banquet today, but more like they were here to be executed. With all these things happening at once, they were not afraid that the emperor would start a massacre.

"That's great. I didn't know you were so capable." Xie Ci'an curled his lips into a bloodthirsty sneer.

Dean Wu, standing in the crowd, broke out in a cold sweat. His legs went weak and he knelt down. "Your Majesty, this is a false accusation. I have done nothing wrong."

"You don't even know what they are accusing you of, you just know it's a false accusation. I didn't know that Dean Wu had the ability to predict the future. If I had known earlier, I would not have arranged for you to enter Yousong Academy. You should have arranged for you to enter the Imperial Observatory." The more Xie Ci'an said this, the more scared everyone became.

Dean Wu huddled on the ground, shaking like a sieve, and even his tone became stammering, "I dare not."

"Go and bring the person in. I want to see if it's really the false accusation you said." Xie Ci'an gave an order, and the young guard immediately went outside to bring the person in.

The old couple wore coarse linen clothes, the woman's hair already dyed white. It was their first time meeting so many important figures in such a place, and they couldn't help but panic. They supported each other and knelt in the grass, "I beg the Emperor and Empress to help me. Dean Wu of Yousong Academy and Guo Qian, a student there, teamed up to humiliate my daughter and forced her to jump into the river and commit suicide. I also have a blood letter my daughter left before she jumped into the river."

"The blood letter clearly stated how these two people plotted to send my daughter to Dean Wu's bed. They also carried out this transaction many times. My daughter couldn't stand this kind of life, so she wrote another blood letter and jumped into the river to commit suicide."

His body was curled up on the ground, but he held the blood letter devoutly against his chest.

Zhuxi immediately stepped forward, took the petition, and handed it to Xie Ci'an.

The handwriting was crooked, and it certainly didn't look like a blood letter written by someone who was used to writing. Xie Ci'an's gaze fell on Dean Wu again, and he saw that Dean Wu's body was shaking even more violently. "Dean Wu is really capable. I handed Yousong Academy to you in the hope that you could cultivate more pillars of the country. I didn't expect Dean Wu to set his eyes on a student's wife and even colluded with students from the academy to sell his wife out."

"Who gave you the courage?" Xie Ci'an angrily picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on Dean Wu's head.

Xie Ci'an was a martial artist after all. Dean Wu's head was instantly bruised from the blow. "Your Majesty, these are all false accusations against me."

"A woman you have never met would write a letter in blood to frame you. Dean Wu really has a great charm." Gu Jianchu couldn't help but sneer.

Xie Ci'an looked at Yun He who was standing beside him and said, "Go and bring Guo Qian here. We'll know after an interrogation whether or not Dean Wu has been framed."

Dean Wu raised his hand to wipe the blood off his head and didn't dare to speak anymore.

The entire banquet was plunged into a low pressure. No one dared to speak, and some even took the initiative to reduce their presence.

It was obvious that the emperor was on the verge of a rage.

Wen Zhu was the first to return. "Your Majesty, when I was visiting Yousong Academy, some students told me that Dean Wu is very fond of the wives of those poor students. As long as they are willing to send their wives to Dean Wu's room, they can waive a year's tuition. I asked several wives of poor students, but some of them were hesitant and didn't dare to say anything, as if they were worried about something. Others told me the truth. They said they were knocked unconscious by their husbands and woke up to find themselves in Dean Wu's bed."

"Afterwards, their husband told them to shut up and not mention the matter to anyone else."

Dean Wu knelt on the ground and wanted to faint.

Xie Ci'an laughed in anger, "Great! I didn't know you could mess up a good academy like this. All students involved in this will be thrown into prison and handed over to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice for a joint trial at a later date. They must be severely punished."

"We must investigate thoroughly and ensure that no one takes advantage of loopholes or uses the opportunity to cause trouble."
