The empress is wild and cool, and I'll help her secure her throne

Changnan Palace.

The third princess was writing calligraphy when a young eunuch hurried in, knelt on the ground and began to report what had happened in General Hongxiu's mansion that day.

After hearing this, the third princess was stunned for a moment.

This Ye Qianxuan is so powerful!

He can actually cross the border and hurt people!

He is giving people more and more surprises!

It’s a pity that I can’t use it for myself!

Then the only option is to kill!

"Does Zhao Wuji know about this?"

The third princess had a normal expression and continued to write calligraphy with her wrist.

"Chief Steward Zhao has already learned about this and has sent Supervisor Sun from the East Factory to resolve the matter!"

"Yes." The third princess nodded, then everything would be safe.

"You are useless. Die."

The third princess, An Luowan, opened her red lips slightly, and with a burst of righteousness, she instantly killed the little eunuch who was delivering the message.

Soon, two palace maids came forward, quickly dragged the body away, and wiped the floor clean.

It seems like this kind of thing happens so often...

……

He squinted his eyes and rode his horse quickly towards the Jiumen Governor's Mansion. He saw that he would reach the Jiumen Governor's Mansion after turning two more corners!

An extremely cold murderous intent came from behind him!

He squinted his eyes and looked back, and saw an embroidered spring knife with the word "Dong" engraved on it whistling towards him and stabbed directly at Ye Qianxuan who was on horseback!

Everyone was caught off guard, including Ye Qianxuan whose hands were tied and Mimiyan who was concentrating on driving the horse!

"Ding!"

An Eastern Zhou Dynasty saber also came whizzing and blocked the long sword that was going to kill Ye Qianxuan!

Two standard-issue swords fell to the ground at the same time, making two clang sounds.

Although Ye Qianxuan had already realized it, he still broke out in a cold sweat.

As expected, the eunuch group took advantage of this opportunity to take action!

It's just this saber...

Ye Qianxuan raised his head with the little strength he had left and saw rows of Nine Gates Admiral's troops, led by Duan Zhenggang, rushing towards him!

Duan Zhenggang?!

He actually came to save me? !

Isn't this guy just trying to blend in with the crowd and keep himself out of trouble?

How dare you offend the eunuch group for your own sake!

I have to say, Ye Qianxuan was really touched!

At this moment, a eunuch with a gaunt face and an almost sickly pale complexion slowly walked out from the crowd!

He was wearing a dark purple brocade robe with intricate cloud and water patterns embroidered on it, the color was deep. The hem of the robe and the scabbard at his waist swayed gently with his light and steady steps!

The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, his face was extremely gloomy, and there was an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel a chill rising from their spine!

This person is none other than the governor of the East Factory - Sun Zhengchun!

Sun Zhengchun walked up to Ye Qianxuan and slowly pulled out the other embroidered spring knife with the word "Factory" on it. He said in a hoarse voice:

"This lowly person attempted to attack an official of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty but failed. He should be executed according to the law. None of you can protect him!"

"Lord Sun!"

Duan Zhenggang flashed in front of Ye Qianxuan and protected him behind him. Then he bowed slightly, looked up at the other party's cold eyes, and said stubbornly:

"This man committed a crime within the jurisdiction of the Nine Gates Governor's Office. Even if he needs to be executed, it should be me who does it!"

"Oh? When did we in the East Factory need your Nine Gates Governor's Office to teach us how to do things?" Sun Zhengchun narrowed his eyes, and a fierce murderous intent and unparalleled pressure swept towards Duan Zhenggang in an instant!

Duan Zhenggang withstood the pressure, not taking a single step back, and continued to clasp his hands and say:

"The East Factory does have the power to arrest citizens, but..."

Duan Zhenggang raised his head, his eyes flashing:

"The lowly are not considered subjects!"

He squinted his eyes and let out a long sigh, thinking that Ye Qianxuan's life was saved.

The power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is above that of the Nine Gates Governor's Office!

The power of the Eastern Depot is above that of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

The Embroidered Uniform Guard can only arrest officials, but the Eastern Depot can arrest officials and civilians!

But Duan Zhenggang was right, the slaves were inferior to the common people!

Only the Nine Gates Governor's Office has the authority to arrest and deal with the lowly people of Kyoto!

Governor Sun frowned and said in a cold voice, "Admiral Duan, I'm reminding you not to ruin your future!"

"I'm just doing my job, please don't misunderstand, Governor Sun." Duan Zhenggang replied.

"I walked a thousand feet out of the Nine Gates Governor's Mansion and personally led the troops to rescue this prisoner. You said it was an official business?" Governor Sun smiled coldly, his hand always pressed on the Embroidered Spring Knife!

"I am just doing my job, please don't misunderstand me, Governor Sun." Duan Zhenggang still said this, his hand slightly placed on the saber at his waist.

Mimiyan also pressed down the Embroidered Spring Knife, and the aura around him began to surge.

Some people at the scene were watching from afar and were stunned!

what's the situation? !

The Imperial Guards, the Nine Gates Commander, the East Factory Supervisor, these high-ranking officials who rarely appear in 800 years, are actually going to fight over a lowly person?!

What kind of identity and status does this lowly person have!

This is too unbelievable!

"Okay, okay." Governor Sun felt that it was not a good look for several imperial officials to fight over a lowly person in this busy city. It was really beneath his status, so he let go of the Embroidered Spring Sword and nodded repeatedly.

"What a businesslike job!"

Sun Zhengchun reached out and retrieved the fallen Dongzi Embroidered Spring Knife. He said in a cold tone, "Then I will go to the Empress myself and ask for an explanation!"

Mimiyan also let go of the Embroidered Spring Knife and shouted: "I'll go with you!"

Afterwards, Sun Zhengchun and Mimiyan went into the imperial study together to ask the empress for justice!

The blue bird led the two to the imperial study, followed by guards.

The empress was standing by the window, reading a book in her hand.

"Your Majesty!" Sun Zhengchun clasped his fists, knelt on the ground and said in a deep voice:

"The lowly Ye Qianxuan has severely injured General Hongxiu, and is on the verge of death. He is still in danger!"

"I hope Your Majesty will severely punish the lowly Ye Qianxuan and uphold the law of the land!"

The eunuch group has always used "national laws" to demand the empress.

The empress has only been on the throne for two years, and her foundation is unstable. She dare not disobey the law of the country by imperial decree!

Ye Qianxuan must die today!

And squinting his eyes at the back of Empress An Luoyu, he said: "Your Majesty, it is understandable that Craftsman Ye took action in this matter!"

He explained the whole thing in detail:

"Your Majesty, General Hongxiu returned triumphantly to the court. He was so proud of his achievements that he allowed his soldiers to rape women. He was stopped by the lowly corpse-sewer Ye Qianxuan!"

"But Xia Ruoxi not only didn't stop, but instead ordered her men to drag the girl into the yard, intending to humiliate her in front of Master Ye, deliberately forcing Master Ye to take action!"

"Master Ye's persuasion was unsuccessful, so he attacked in anger!"

"Mi Tongzhi, even so, it's not the turn of that lowly person to punish General Hongxiu's fault!" Sun Zhengchun said sinisterly:

"And I heard that General Hongxiu allowed his soldiers to seize his room number five and beat his maid yesterday, so he went there today to seek revenge?"

Squinting eyes, he angrily retorted, "Even if it's personal revenge, it was General Hongxiu who was at fault first!"

"General Hongxiu's fault, once she recovers from her injuries, Your Majesty will make the final decision." Sun Zhengchun said coldly:

"There is no conflict between punishing this lowly person and punishing General Hongxiu!"

Squinting his eyes, he refused to accept the decision: "But Master Ye took action because General Hongxiu committed a crime first!"

Sun Zhengchun argued: "But he is a lowly person and has no right to punish General Hongxiu!"

For a moment, Mimiyan was speechless.

Governor Sun cleverly diverted the conflict. No matter what the real reason was, it was an established fact that the lowly Ye Qianxuan almost killed the Red Sleeve General Xia Ruoxi.

General Hongxiu certainly made a mistake, but when did it become the turn of a lowly person to take action?

Moreover, allowing soldiers to abduct women was not a serious offense in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. The punishment would be a salary fine at the very least, demotion at the medium level, or dismissal at the worst. It was definitely not a capital crime!

It’s such a big deal!

How many people in the government, the underworld, and among the people are watching?

Sun Zhengchun just didn't believe that the empress would be partial to a lowly person!

Even though this lowly woman is very talented and a genius, she is highly valued by the empress!

But the national law cannot be desecrated or tarnished!

Even if the empress wanted to protect him, she couldn't!

"Your Majesty!" Mimiyan knew that he was in the wrong and could not argue with Sun Zhengchun, so he could only look at the empress for help, wanting to ask her to protect Ye Qianxuan.

The Empress continued to read as if no one was around, until the two of them came to an end in their argument. Then she turned around, sat down at the table, and said calmly:

"Xia Ruoxi knowingly broke the law. She disregarded military regulations and will be demoted to seventh rank effective immediately, with a six-month salary fine!"

"The lowly Ye Qianxuan attacked an imperial official, severely injuring him. This is a crime of insubordination. Without execution, it would be difficult to uphold the law. He will be imprisoned in the Nine Gates Governor's Prison and beheaded at Caishikou before the Qianqiu Festival!"

Sun Zhengchun gave a smug smile.

He squinted his eyes, closed them, and stopped talking.

"Okay, go away and don't disturb me while I'm reading." The empress waved her hand and continued reading.

Sun Zhengchun and Mimiyan retreated together.

Bluebird came forward and asked worriedly, "Your Majesty...are you really going to kill that Ye Carpenter?"

The empress didn't say anything, just read the book by herself.

But at the corner of his mouth, there was a barely perceptible sinister smile...
