Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Emperor Shangwu appeared in the crowd in disguise, originally just to attend the trial.

Unexpectedly, he heard new gossip.

Haha, it was actually his illegitimate eldest son who did the good deed.

Lord Lin stood up and saluted in surprise, and everyone saluted respectfully.

"See your Majesty, long live your Majesty."

Shen Mubai wanted to kill the unconscious Xie Shuwei. She actually revealed everything she had done. He was not sure how much Emperor Shangwu had heard.

Looking at his father's half-smile, he was afraid that something bad was going to happen.

When Emperor Shangwu was young, he was known as the Smiling Tiger. He never cheated, but if he did, it was always by surprise. No matter who it was, no one could escape Emperor Shangwu's calculations.

"No need to be so polite, just stand up."

Everyone slowly stood up. When Shen Mubai thought he was safe, the smile on Emperor Shangwu's face faded. He raised his hand and kicked Shen Mubai to the ground, with undisguised coldness in his eyes.

"Rebellious son, how dare you plot against your royal brother!"

Shen Mubai didn't expect that Emperor Shangwu was there. He felt a chill down his spine. Could today be the day of his death? He knelt in front of Emperor Shangwu and explained.

"Father, this matter has nothing to do with me. It's all just that woman Hsieh Su-wei's nonsense. My second brother and I have always been close friends. How could I do such a thing?"

Emperor Shangwu certainly didn't believe it. His eldest son was the most prudent and self-protective person. If Hsieh Su-wei didn't have evidence of his guilt, why would he want to help?

Most likely, Hsieh Su-wei wants to fight to the death, so what she said is probably not a lie.

Thinking that Shen Qingci was originally his expected future successor, if it weren't for the idiot Shen Mubai who schemed against his second son for temporary benefits, Shen Qingci would not have been infected with the cold poison and would not be alive now.

Shen Qingci lifted up his robe and knelt down towards Emperor Shangwu, his eyes slightly red.

"Father, I have always respected my elder brother. It turns out that it was my elder brother who dispatched my troops and secretly plotted against me..."

Shi Qing secretly watched Shen Qingci from the side. He had to admit that this wolf cub was one of the best when it came to acting.

Especially Shen Qingci's eyes are extremely beautiful.

Emperor Shangwu refused to give in. He did not like fratricide. Moreover, since Hsieh Su-wei was involved in the whole thing, she would surely tell the truth under severe punishment.

Shi Qing also took this opportunity to present all the evidence of what Lu Wenbai had done during his disappearance in the past few years to Emperor Shangwu.

"Your Majesty, I have personally investigated what Ningyuan Hou did and who he met during the six years he was missing, as well as Hsieh Shuwei's identity. Please review this."

After saying that, Shi Qing presented the evidence. She had prepared these evidences for a long time. This time, she knew in advance that Emperor Shangwu would show up, so she prepared them specially.

The Lu family? She wouldn't let them go.

Since Lu Wenbo wanted to stay with Hsieh Su-wei forever, she naturally had to help this pair of doomed lovers.

Emperor Shangwu naturally knew Shi Qing's identity. This young woman dealt with the Lu family and the concubine without making a fuss. It must be said that her method was very beautiful, and she didn't even get herself hurt.

He was quite smart. A look of admiration flashed in his eyes, and he looked up to Shi Qing.

Emperor Shangwu took a closer look at the evidence and he was so angry that he laughed. It turned out that Lu Wenbai had been missing for six years because he was working for a neighboring country.

Lu Wenbai returned to Beijing to steal the secrets of Xuan Kingdom. Thanks to his trust in Lu Wenbai, he never expected that the loyal and brave Lu family would produce a fool like Lu Wenbai who only knew how to indulge in the pleasures of life.

Lu Wenbai even teamed up with the eldest prince to harm Shen Qingci.

If Shen Qingci had not committed such a great crime, he would have died as well.

It seems that the Lu family should arrange their schedule and send them on their way. Of course, simply beheading them in public would not be enough to quell the anger, and Emperor Shangwu has already thought about it.

Emperor Shangwu had few children, so Shen Qingci was taught by him personally, and he also sent people to teach him martial arts. He valued his second son, but he did not treat his eldest son badly.

It’s just that the royal disputes are endless and uncontrollable, so no one is to blame.

"Master Lin, from now on, the eldest prince will be imprisoned and no one is allowed to visit him."

Lord Lin worked diligently as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and had always handled minor cases.

Who would have thought that his luck would be so good this time, that he could try two cases in a row. It seemed that there was hope for promotion.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Emperor Shangwu felt that it was not a good thing for him to be the one to eat the melon. Now he had to deal with the Duan family and the Lu family behind Concubine Li. He could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.

He left the Jingzhao Prefecture in a huff, and when he returned to the palace, he ordered people to investigate the whereabouts of Duan's family during this period.

Unexpectedly, they discovered the soldiers and weapons secretly raised by Lord Duan on the outskirts of the city. These had been prepared two months ago, and he was planning to find an opportunity to attack the imperial city.

Now, the eldest prince's crime of treason was confirmed and could not be denied, and because the Duan family secretly raised troops, Lord Duan was beheaded in public.

The other officials and their families of the Duan family were exiled and had their faces tattooed as they awaited punishment.

After dealing with the Duan family, Emperor Shangwu ordered that Concubine Li be demoted to a concubine and moved to the cold palace, never to see her again.

Lu Wenbai was ordered to go to Wuzhou to suppress bandits. However, on the way, he was ambushed by bandits and almost died in Wuzhou.

Protected by his subordinates, he saved his life, but his legs were crippled. He endured the pain and finally returned to the capital, but he received an imperial edict from Emperor Shangwu.

Eunuch Wei glanced indifferently at Lu Wenbai, whose legs were crippled, and said coldly.

"My Lord, please kneel down and accept my order. Have you forgotten the rules?"

He endured the pain and asked Fuan to help him kneel down. The pain made his face change, but he still stood up and knelt, enduring it silently.

"The humble minister accepts the order."

Eunuch Wei read the imperial edict coldly, and his tone became increasingly cold.

"Marquis of Ningyuan, Lu Wenbai, was so audacious that he even faked his own death to escape, secretly interacting with the people of Chen, and even conspiring with the First Prince to plot against Second Prince Shen Qingci. His crimes are unforgivable. Considering the Lu family's past contributions, I will spare Lu Wenbai's life.

However, all my rewards and the glory of the Lu family will be taken back, the Lu family’s house will be confiscated, and no one is allowed to live there anymore. No one in the Lu family is allowed to take any money with them when they leave home.

From now on, descendants of the Lu family are not allowed to enter the government, and regardless of gender, they are not allowed to marry into the royal family or noble family. This is my decree."

Lu Wenbai only then learned about the changes in the capital. When he left Beijing, he was still the honorable Marquis of Ningyuan, but when he returned, the Lu family's property had been confiscated, and even the house was to be confiscated. He was left with nothing.

He couldn't control his excitement and spat out a mouthful of blood. The pain from his crippled legs was not as painful as having nothing at this moment.

"Your humble servant, Lu Wenbai, accepts the order."

Eunuch Wei shook his head and sighed, "Lord Lu, take care of yourself. The Emperor has spared your life, which is already the greatest forgiveness."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

After saying this, Eunuch Wei turned and left.

However, before Lu Wenbai could accept all this, he heard the screams of the maids in the mansion.

"Oh no! The old lady hanged herself!"
