Traveling through the emperor, overthrowing the empress dowager at the beginning

Nanny He's lips were trembling.

She looked at Ye Chen in disbelief, and couldn't even believe her ears.

"I said, I have found your family!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Qiu'er, bring those people to the door of Taiqian Palace and let Madam He take a look."

Upon hearing this, Nanny He immediately turned around and looked outside the Taiqian Palace.

Shen Qiu strode out of Taiqian Palace, and soon, several people appeared outside the gate of Taiqian Palace.

These people included elderly men, middle-aged people, and young children. Everyone was dressed quite richly. Although they had been detained for a long time and lost their freedom, they had not been treated unfairly.

"Lian'er!"

"Water lotus!"

"mother!"

A few calls.

This soon made Nanny He's eyes fill with tears.

"Qiu'er, take everyone away!"

Ye Chen then said.

Shen Qiu immediately took the person away.

"He Shuilian, as long as you tell the truth, I will give you a lighter sentence and guarantee that you will be reunited with your family."

Ye Chen had a blank expression on his face, but his words were filled with the majesty of an emperor.

And listened to what he said.

Nanny He fell to her knees with a plop.

"Your Majesty, I confess, I confess everything! Ever since my family was captured, I have been spreading the news, but I was forced to do so."

Nanny He said while crying.

After hearing her words, Mrs. Xue's face changed drastically.

"Tell me, who was the person who asked you to deliver the message?"

Ye Chen asked in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, there were two imperial censors who contacted me after my family was kidnapped. They asked me to pass on the message. They also gave me some of my family's belongings. They were the ones who blackmailed me."

Nanny He kowtowed.

Hearing this, Ye Chen understood that the two imperial censors must have used Nanny He's family's belongings to threaten Nanny He and forced her to submit.

"I was assassinated before because of the information you passed on, right?"

Ye Chen asked again.

"Yes, it is."

"Apart from those two imperial censors, are there any others?"

"No, no more."

"Bullshit, two mere imperial censors, do they have the ability to assassinate me?"

Ye Chen's face was slightly gloomy, and he was wearing a dragon robe, exuding an astonishing imperial aura.

"Your Majesty, I have observed that when I first delivered the message, I really didn't see anyone else except those two imperial censors."

Nanny He kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.

After hearing what Nanny He said, Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.

"What about the officials from the Ministry of Justice? They're in charge of your family's disappearance. Didn't they threaten you?"

"Your Majesty, every time I went to see the officials from the Ministry of Justice, they said the case was under investigation, and this investigation has continued until now."

Nanny He said so.

Hearing this, Ye Chen frowned slightly. He had originally wanted to use Nanny He to bring down a group of treacherous officials, but he didn't expect those treacherous officials to be so cautious.

"What are the names of those two imperial censors?"

"Master Park Ye Park, and Master Wu An Wu!"

Nanny He said so.

"You say it's unfounded, do you have any evidence?"

"Your Majesty, although I am usually only responsible for secretly delivering messages, there was one time when those two imperial censors gave me several pieces of silk and told me to read them and then burn them. However, when I burned the silk, I secretly hid two pieces of silk. They both have their handwriting on them. In addition, when those two imperial censors delivered messages to me, they would pass through some palace maids and eunuchs. I was able to find these people. They are all witnesses."

Nanny He said quickly.

Although she has been sending messages outside the palace over the years, she is not a fool. She has long thought of leaving a way out for herself, so she has been paying attention to the spies of the powerful officials in the palace and collecting evidence against the two censors.

After hearing what Nanny He said, Ye Chen's mouth corners quickly turned up.

"Qiu'er, take He Shuilian to find physical evidence immediately. Also, have her make a list of all the powerful officials' spies she knows about."

"Then, use this list to arrest the people, throw them all into death row, and interrogate them strictly!"

Ye Chen waved his hand and quickly gave the order.

This time, we may not be able to deal with those powerful and treacherous ministers, but we can clear out a large number of spies in the palace.

Originally, Ye Chen wanted to wait until the people from Jing'an Prefecture completely joined the Imperial Guards and he had complete control of the Imperial Guards before starting to purge the spies in the palace. But now with Nanny He, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

Maybe this time, all the spies in the palace can be wiped out.

"promise!"

Shen Qiu immediately stepped forward and was about to take Nanny He downstairs to do the work.

But Nanny He turned around and looked at Madam Xue.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm guilty."

Nanny He said to Madam Xue.

"Madam He, your family was kidnapped and threatened like this, why didn't you tell me?"

Mrs. Xue bit her teeth lightly, feeling mixed emotions.

Nanny He had been raising her since she was a child, and she trusted Nanny He very much, but she never expected that Nanny He would do such a thing without telling her.

This is undoubtedly a betrayal.

But besides being angry, Mrs. Xue also felt a little guilty.

This Nanny He was clearly someone who served her, but she was completely unaware that her family was kidnapped and she was threatened.

This eventually led to Ye Chen being stabbed, and Nanny He could not avoid being imprisoned.

Mrs. Xue felt so guilty that she wanted to slap herself.

"Master, I don't want to drag you into this. The waters are too deep. I'm sorry."

Nanny He bowed to Madam Xue before turning and walking towards the gate of Taiqian Palace.

"Madam Xue, I have finished the interrogation. You can leave now."

After Nanny He completely left Taiqian Palace, Ye Chen said to Madam Xue.

"promise."

Madam Xue turned around and saluted Ye Chen respectfully.

At this moment, she completely understood that she had really wronged Ye Chen. Her previous reckless behavior towards her had often made her curse him behind his back, and she would get so angry that her liver ached when she thought about it in the middle of the night.

But now, she suddenly realized that everything Ye Chen did was her own fault.

"Your Majesty, before I leave, I would like to ask you, how will you deal with Nanny He?"

Madam Xue asked with mixed feelings.

"I said I would be lenient with her and would not take her life."

Ye Chen paused and said, "Just exile her and her entire family three thousand miles away."

Upon hearing this, Madam Xue shuddered and said, "Your Majesty, this, this sentence is too harsh?"

"Humph, I was almost assassinated, a crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of my clan. I merely exiled her and allowed her to reunite with her family. Do you call that a heavy crime?"

Ye Chen snorted coldly. It was obvious that Madam Xue had stayed in the deep palace for too long and her mind had become confused.

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Mrs. Xue was silent for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, on behalf of Nanny He, I thank Your Majesty for not killing me!"

Madam Xue was not an ignorant woman. After she finished speaking sincerely, she left Taiqian Palace.
