The wives of the concubines are empresses

Thinking of the inexplicable disaster she had suffered, Shangguan Wanjun's face became even colder.

"Minister of the Dali Temple, add a law for me."

The Dali Temple Minister stepped out and said, "I am here."

He was curious about what kind of laws the emperor would add.

"In the Yuan Dynasty, if forbidden drugs were found in the palace or among the officials, those involved would be severely beaten with twenty lashes of the cane. Anyone who gave them to a woman would be beheaded. If the man was castrated first, the woman would be publicly whipped with twenty lashes of the cane. Both men and women would be punished."

If the law were not stricter, the cost for sinners would be lowered, and they would sin endlessly.

The world is harsh on women, why should women bear all that?

The Dali Temple's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he bowed respectfully.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your command."

Censor Fang Wenhua stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I wish to impeach Lord Wan for condoning his children's crimes."

Mr. Wan's eyebrows jumped: His children committed a crime? He had already dealt with the matter, so why was someone still harassing him?

When Shangguan Wanjun heard this, she suddenly looked at Mr. Wan.

"Oh, Lord Wan, what happened in your family again?" Hearing the word "again", Lord Wan wanted to cry.

"Your Majesty, I truly do not know."

"Really? Censor Fang, please explain it in detail." There are so many stories about these ministers' families that they can be published in books.

Imperial Censor Fang Wenhua said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Lord Wan's legitimate son once beat a street vendor, leaving him paralyzed at home. He suddenly passed away a few days ago, leaving behind only his daughter and widow."

Shangguan Wanjun frowned upon hearing this: "Do you have any evidence?"

"I have it. The orphan girl and her widowed mother can come to the palace and tell them about their family's experience." He had already arranged for someone to wait at the palace gate.

"pass."

Facing the empress's cold gaze, Lord Wan felt himself begin to sweat all over. He carefully wiped the thin layer of sweat from his face.

"Master Wan, are you hot?" Her sudden voice scared Master Wan.

"Your Majesty, I..." Before he could finish his words, the witness had already entered the palace.

All the ministers looked over and saw the widowed mother bringing her orphan girl to the palace. When she saw the empress on the dragon throne, she trembled and fell to her knees.

"I beg the emperor to help me. My son died unjustly." Her poor son, her only son, passed away before he could leave her with any descendants.

"Xiao Liuzi, go and help him up."

Liu Cheng stepped forward and helped them both to their feet: "Old man, please stand up and talk."

Looking at the timid girl, Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly.

"How old are you?" He looks very malnourished, probably anemic.

The girl stammered back, "I...I'm twelve."

Shangguan Wanjun was shocked: "What? Twelve years old?"

Is this true? She looks like she is only seven or eight years old, but she is only three years younger than her.

"Old man, if you tell me in detail, I will definitely make the decision for you."

The widowed mother cried and complained that her son had a broken leg and had been ill for a long time without medical treatment, and died after half a year. The ministers were heartbroken to hear this.

Shangguan Wanjun became furious when she heard this and kicked Lord Wan.

"My dear, you are doing very well. Not only did you fail to raise your daughter, but you also failed to raise your son. Do you think your head is safe?"

Lord Wan fell to his knees in fear: "Your Majesty, I was wrong... Please give me another chance."

Shangguan Wanjun sneered angrily, "Opportunity? I want an opportunity too. Can you give it to me? It's bad enough that you can't do anything for the people, but you're also making things difficult for them. You've read the sages' books and ended up with nothing."

The ministers had never seen the emperor lose his composure like this, and for a moment they dared not breathe.

Lord Wan's sweat dripped onto the floor of the main hall, and the empress's constant roars and curses filled his ears.

"You are truly unworthy of being a scholar. Where is your bastard legitimate son now? I think he is useless. You should find another obedient and well-behaved son."

Upon hearing this, Lord Wan kowtowed repeatedly and said, "Yes, I'll do it right away after returning from court."

"I think the wife you married is not very good. You can't teach your daughters well, and you can't teach your sons well. If you don't take action now, I think your Wan family will be finished sooner or later."

Shangguan Wanjun's chest heaved with anger, and Minglan hurried to calm her down.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Don't let your anger get you in trouble."

"It's strange that I can calm down. I think he looks quite elegant, so how could he produce such useless things?"

Lord Wan kept turning around and kowtowing behind him.

"Lord Wan, I don't want to hear any nonsense. Please give me a proper answer on this matter. Think carefully before answering. After all, my patience is limited."

Taifu Yun bowed and consoled him, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

He knew the injustice the emperor suffered yesterday and was very upset. He looked at Lord Wan deeply and thought it was all because of that damn guy.

Half a cup of tea passed and Lord Wan looked up in panic.

"Your Majesty, I will divorce my wife and expel the three daughters from the family tree. I am willing to accept the punishment, and I ask you to forgive my other family members." He has lost his legitimate son and daughter, but he cannot be without other children. After all, he is not young anymore and does not have the energy to have another legitimate son.

Shangguan Wanjun curled her lips and sneered, "Alright, this matter will be investigated by the Dali Temple Minister and Censor Fang. I think you're all living a little too comfortably. How about everyone setting up stalls for me? Or perhaps working in the fields?"

Humph, if I don’t scare you, you don’t know who is in charge of this world.

Lord Wan was almost scared to death by the emperor, so why did he set up a stall in the fields?

"Minister of the Supreme Court, Lord Fang, you two go and do your work first. Lord Wan has something very important to do this morning." Shangguan Wanjun curled her lips in a smile, but the ministers found that smile a little creepy.

After the court was dismissed, Liu Cheng brought Lord Wan to the Ministry of Punishment. Looking at the body that had been beaten to a bloody pulp, Lord Wan felt a little distressed, but more disappointed and angry.

"You rebellious girl, you could have attacked anyone else, but you dared to attack the emperor. You are going to drag all of us in the Wan family down with you." The daughter he had carefully raised turned out to be such a stupid thing.

When Concubine Li heard her father's voice, she crawled forward and grabbed his trouser leg.

"Dad, I don't want to die yet. Please think of a way to save me." She was hungry and in pain. She had never suffered such pain in her more than 30 years of life.

At this time, Lord Wan was on the verge of anger. When he heard his daughter's words, he laughed crazily.

"Save you? We are all going to be killed by you. How can we save you? You should go downstairs and apologize to the late emperor." He picked up the cup of poisoned wine and slowly squatted down.

When Concubine Li saw this, she was horrified and her face was full of horror.

"Dad, I'm your daughter. You can't do this to me."

Lord Wan held her chin and poured the poisoned wine into her with great effort.

"Don't blame your father. Blame yourself for being hopelessly stupid. From ancient times to the present, regicide has always had a bad end. You can't kill all of our Wan family members."

Concubine Li pinched her throat, trying to make herself spit out the poisoned wine, but everything was over.

Suddenly she laughed, a crazy laugh.

"Haha, what about family and love? They're all fake." She rolled on the ground holding her stomach in pain. Lord Wan looked at the scene indifferently.
