The prince kissed her seven times in one night, and the abandoned woman was scared!

Si Mingyuan's words cut off all his hopes: "You betrayed this emperor and Fenglin. Go to prison and confess everything. Perhaps this emperor will consider sparing your family."

Zuo Ziliang expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Holy Emperor, for eradicating the corrupt officials and restoring order to the Ministry of War."

Si Mingyuan waved his hand, "Zuo Ziliang, tell me, can you shoulder the burden of the Ministry of War?"

Zuo Ziliang kowtowed in thanks, "Your Majesty, I will do this! Please give me one month. Within this month, I will clean up the Ministry of War, conduct a thorough inspection of the warehouses, and submit a report on the quality of all types of weapons manufactured. I will also investigate the iron ore issue."

If I fail to complete this task, I will voluntarily resign after one month and never set foot in the Imperial City again."

Si Mingyuan was moved by the morale. "Alright! This emperor agrees! If you can do what you said in a month, you will be the Minister of War."

"Your humble servant thanks the Holy Emperor." Zuo Ziliang kowtowed and immediately left the Qinzheng Hall.

Si Mingyuan was not relieved. "Sun Dazhu, quickly find out which dog slave had the audacity to help Minister Li withdraw the direct remonstration memorial from the Left Vice Minister?"

"Yes, I am also guilty. I failed to discipline the servants under me." Sun Dazhu knelt down and admitted his guilt.

Si Mingyuan did not blame him, "Get up, you are indeed not strict enough, but the palace is so big, if someone with ulterior motives wants to plant a few spies, it is not something you, a eunuch chief, can prevent.

Go check it out, and call Diwu Xiao in while you're at it."

"Yes, thank you for the mercy of the Holy Emperor." Eunuch Sun burst into tears of gratitude. The Holy Emperor is a wise ruler.

Two ministers were dismissed within an hour, and Si Mingyuan was in a depressed mood, but he thought that if Yun Suyue had not brought out these two termites, Fenglin's foundation would probably have been eaten away by half.

Si Mingyuan admired Yun Suyue even more: "That girl is a treasure. It's over. I want to commit treason and marry her. What should I do?"

"How dare you! The seventh brother is still half dead for you. He is such a treasure in his heart, and you still dare to snatch it away? I will be the first one to disagree." The queen mother came with two maids.

Si Mingyuan immediately stood up from the dragon throne to greet him, "No, no, it was just a joke. Why is the Queen Mother here?"

The Queen Mother sat directly on the dragon throne. "Hmph, if I hadn't come, how could I have heard your little thoughts? Don't say that the Seventh Brother has always stood by you. Over the years, he dragged his half-dead body to secretly solve many life-and-death problems for you.

Take his current skill level, do you know what level he has reached?"

Si Mingyuan was not too surprised, "Son, you know, the seventh child inherited his mother's martial arts genius physique. He broke through to the Great Martial Sect at the age of fifteen and became the first secret Great Martial Sect of our Fenglin Dynasty.

But he has used half of his power to suppress Bing Tangle for so many years, how can he still advance?"

The Queen Mother looked at Si Mingyuan with a look that asked why her son had suddenly become so stupid, "It's not about whether the Seventh Brother can advance, it's that he has already advanced, and has broken through to the intermediate level of the Great Martial Sect.

Although I don't know martial arts, I know that every level of advancement after becoming a Great Martial Sect member is a world of difference. Your skills, which have stagnated over the years, are not enough for Old Seven to slap you in the face."

Si Mingyuan: “…”

In the eyes of his mother, his son is a waste, hahahaha~

The hall was silent for a moment, and suddenly Simingyuan burst into laughter, "Hahaha, that's great, Old Seven has made another breakthrough. As far as I know, the two Great Martial Masters in Xijing are both white-bearded old men over half a hundred years old, and have yet to break through to the intermediate level of the Great Martial Master.

Even the two great martial masters, Canglan and Beiming, are old men over fifty years old, and our seventh brother is only in his early twenties.

Hahaha, this emperor has become more confident. When the seventh brother reaches their age, he can steadily break through to the peak of the late stage of the Great Martial Sect. "

The Queen Mother didn't know what to say. She poured a basin of cold water directly on her son's head with a "splash". "What a prospect! The Seventh Son is not as incompetent as those four old men. I bet that the Seventh Son will suddenly reach the peak of the late stage before he turns thirty."

“Also, Old Seven is not the first Great Martial Sect Master. The first Great Martial Sect Master is the Palace Master of Fengyun Palace—Jun Jiujian!

The seventh elder said that Jun Jiujian had broken through to the middle level of the Great Martial Sect as early as ten years ago, and was probably at the peak of the latter level now, with one foot halfway into the realm of the Martial God.

However, the hall master was elusive and often in seclusion. No one had ever seen his true face, and no one knew his specific situation.

I heard that even his young disciple has reached the ninth level of martial arts despite being so young. It's a pity that Fengyun Palace doesn't care about the martial arts world or the court, otherwise he would be a great help to Fenglin."

Si Mingyuan shook his head. "No problem. As long as Lord Jun exists, he can intimidate the other three kingdoms. So, my Maple Forest Dynasty is no worse than the other three kingdoms. We have actually produced two great martial masters."

This emperor suddenly feels full of confidence and is no longer afraid of Canglan and Beiming, hahahaha..."

"Snapped!"

The Queen Mother suddenly asked Madam Niu to place a bowl of black Chinese medicine in front of Si Mingyuan. "Stop laughing, drink it. This is what Little Su Yue ordered. She said that drinking it will drive away insects at night. If you don't drink it, she won't care if the insects get into your brain."

Si Mingyuan: “…”

"Drink, you must drink." The emperor quickly picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it. The taste... was great.

Si Mingyuan will never forget it for the rest of his life.

A dear mother is a dear mother. The Queen Mother took out a bag of candies, opened it, picked out the smallest one and handed it to Si Mingyuan, "Eat it and it won't be bitter anymore."

Si Mingyuan took it and put it in his mouth, then reached out to take the second one. The empress dowager immediately put it away as a treasure and hid it in her sleeve, then got up and left.

"You wish. This is the hawthorn candy that little Su Yue made especially for me to help me digest food. If you weren't my biological son, I wouldn't even give you that little piece."

"Hahaha, take care, mother." Si Mingyuan laughed helplessly.

Diwu Xiao came in, "Saint Emperor, Princess Su Yue just accepted a younger brother, a member of the side branch that was driven out of the Helian family twelve years ago."

Si Mingyuan waved his hand, "It's okay, little Su Yue is a clear-headed child. She has her own plans, and I trust her. Go and do something immediately..."

At this time, it was the backyard of the Second Prince's Mansion.

Bai Hu, covered in blood, knelt before Bai Qingqing, a burly man crying, "...Please ask the princess to take action for our Bai family. Princess Su Yue is too arrogant and doesn't take our Bai family seriously at all."

"Well, I've heard she's even more beautiful than her vixen mother. Back then, her mother was a woman that even the Holy Emperor couldn't get. She's dead, and now I'm trying to seduce the current Holy Emperor. How shameless!"

Bai Qingqing was dressed in a pure white ancient brocade dress. She looked spotless and well-educated, but when there were no outsiders around, her face was full of jealousy. The milky white pearl necklace on her head swayed with her anger.

Baihu was still fanning the flames, "The princess is right, she relied on that face to charm the Holy Emperor into obeying her every word. What did he say about curing the Queen Mother's chronic illness?

She is only eighteen years old. Which pharmacy in the imperial city has a doctor who is not over fifty years old? Even if Yun Suyue had studied medicine since her mother's womb, she would not have extraordinary medical skills. It would be good enough if she could recognize all the herbs in any medical book.

Bai Qingqing also concluded, "Yes, she must have used her foxy skills to seduce the Holy Emperor. I'm afraid she has already become the Holy Emperor's lover. She was named a princess today, and tomorrow she might be made a concubine and included in the harem."

At this moment, her trusted maid suddenly ran in and whispered something in her ear, which instantly made Bai Qingqing murderous, "What? The Second Prince also wants to marry her as his principal wife?

You Yun Suyue, you bitch, how dare you seduce my husband? You are tired of living.

"Bai Hu, do you know where Yun Su Yue is now? This princess will go and meet her."
