"By the way, I have one more thing and I would like to hear your opinions." The emperor looked at Su Peisheng, and Su Peisheng immediately understood what the emperor meant.

The emperor brought out a collection of poems by Qian Ming and asked us to see it.

"What kind of person would collect a collection of poetry like this?"

My sister wanted to take the poetry collection, but I got there first.

I opened the collection and saw that it was quite ordinary, not even very elegant. I guess this was the collection of poems by Nian Gengyao's close friend, Qian Mingshi.

The emperor considered this collection of poems to be extremely disrespectful, so he could not say whether it was good or bad, which made the emperor suspicious. What the emperor cared about was the stance, not the essence of the facts.

"Your Majesty, perhaps I am not well-versed in poetry and literature, and I don't see what is so good about this collection of poems. It can't be considered good poetry. The words and phrases used in the poems are sharp and the language is vulgar."

"Sister, if you don't believe me, take a look." I turned around and handed it to my sister, giving her a look.

My sister took the collection and carefully flipped through the poems, frowning slightly. "It's certainly not a good poem. The language is vulgar, the artistic conception is vulgar, and there's no beauty to speak of. How could anyone like and collect such poems?"

"Sister, if you don't believe me, take a look." I stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the poetry collection, then turned around and handed it to my sister, giving her a look.

My sister took the collection and carefully flipped through the poems, frowning slightly. "It's certainly not a good poem. The language is vulgar, the artistic conception is vulgar, and there's no beauty to speak of. How could anyone like and collect such poems? And by the Emperor... What's going on?"

"This Qian Ming was a close friend of Nian Gengyao during his lifetime. The poetry collections he wrote are all extremely disrespectful. What do you think we should do with him?" The emperor said slowly.

"Such poems should be burned as soon as possible. As for the people who wrote the poems, the emperor should also punish them to avoid affecting the common people." The elder sister made appropriate suggestions.

"It's just for the child. Please spare his life, Your Majesty." I spoke slowly.

My father does not hold a high position in the court and is now just a small county magistrate, so the emperor has no suspicion or wariness towards me.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. For the sake of the heir, I will handle the matter appropriately. I won't kill them. I'll just consider it a good deed for the heir."

The emperor was relieved after hearing the satisfactory answer.

The emperor ordered Xia Qian to investigate, and indeed found out that Emin had committed many mistakes, not only framing Zhen Yuandao, but also accepting bribes in private and many other crimes.

The emperor was furious and ordered that Emin and his family be exiled to Ningguta and become slaves to the armored men.

Qian Mingshi and his family were also exiled to Ningguta.

In addition, the emperor ordered each minister in the court to write a poem to condemn Qian Ming's actions.

Upon hearing the news, Concubine Qi rushed to plead for Emin. The Emperor ignored her and told Su Peisheng to let her go. If she pleaded again, she would be punished for multiple crimes.

Concubine Qi had no choice but to ask the Queen for help, hoping that the Queen could plead with the Emperor.

"Noble Lady Qi, please get up. The Emperor has already made a decision on this matter and issued an imperial decree. Even if you beg me, I am powerless to do anything! But why would your father be exiled for no reason? I really don't understand."

"It's all that bitch Wanpin's fault. It was her father who framed my father. Now my father has been exiled to Ningguta. It's all her fault. I will never let her go!" Concubine Qi said gritting her teeth, with anger and resentment flashing in her eyes.

When the queen heard this, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

She knew that Concubine Qi had completely fallen into hatred and had become a chess piece that could be used. And now was the time for this chess piece to be put to use.

The Queen thought to herself, "Noble Lady Qi, Noble Lady Qi, you are such a foolish woman. Your hatred will only lead you to destruction, while I will reap the benefits."

However, Concubine Qi did not realize the Queen's thoughts and continued to indulge in her hatred for Zhen Huan. She vowed to take revenge on Zhen Huan and make her pay the price.

The Queen looked at Concubine Qi and felt a surge of satisfaction. She knew she had successfully provoked a conflict between Concubine Qi and Zhen Huan. Now all she had to do was wait for them to kill each other. She, on the other hand, could sit back and watch the fight unfold, enjoying the excitement it brought.

The Queen smiled slightly and said softly, "Noble Lady Qi, I understand your feelings, but this matter requires further consideration. Don't worry, I will definitely help you."

Concubine Qi nodded with tears of gratitude. She felt that she had found someone to rely on.

The queen laughed secretly in her heart, she knew that this fool had completely fallen into her trap.

The queen smiled knowingly. This Concubine Qi was really beautiful but extremely stupid.

"Sister, have you heard? The emperor has ordered that Emin's family be exiled to Ningguta and become slaves to the armored men. He also ordered all the ministers in the court to write a poem to condemn Qian Mingshi." I asked my sister quietly.

"I've also heard that the Emperor is particularly concerned about Qian Ming's affairs. If you hadn't reminded me, I'm afraid it would have been my Zhen family that was exiled to Ningguta. Just thinking about it makes me scared, and I'm still in shock."

"Sister, just stop feeling any sympathy for Qian Mingshi. Also, remind Uncle Zhen about the poem, and everything will be fine. But sister, you shouldn't be too smart about state affairs. Now that the Nian family incident is over, you should learn from past mistakes."

"Yes, I understand your reminder. Fortunately, you are by my side, otherwise I don't know what would have happened this time."

"Why did you two sisters get up so early without calling me to join you?" Chun'er rubbed her eyes, looking like she was still sleepy.

"Chun'er, seeing that you were sleeping soundly, we didn't wake you up. We wanted to let you sleep a little longer." I looked at Chun'er's cute appearance and said gently.

"I can't wake up every day. If the nanny hadn't woken me up and told me to go pay my respects to the Queen, I wouldn't want to get up." Chun'er said coquettishly like a little child.

"How can that be? We have to go and pay our respects to the Queen Mother. We can go together so we can have company. If you are sleepy, wait until we get back and have breakfast before going to bed. I have asked Jinxi to instruct the kitchen to prepare your favorite food." The elder sister coaxed Chun'er.

"Really? Sister is the best. When your child is born, I will give him half of all the delicious food I have." Chun'er said generously.

"Chun'er, why do you only divide it in half? What about the other half? Are you reluctant to share it?" I joked with Chun'er.

"The remaining half should be given to Sister An's children. That's fair. I'm an adult now, so I won't fight with them for food. Sister Wan and Sister An are both good to me, so naturally I should be better to their children."

Chun'er blinked her big eyes, looking serious.
