The wives of the concubines are empresses

Old Qu said drunkenly, "I don't know either."

Liu Cheng, who was standing behind them, whispered, "Your Majesty, Mr. Qu looks drunk."

Shangguan Wanjun sighed: "Let's go, let them rest early."

"Yes." Seeing his master raise his foot, Liu Cheng hurriedly followed.

"Master, you are drunk. I will have someone take you back to your bedroom to rest."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Qu turned around and looked up. Looking at Shangguan Wanjun's beautiful face, he closed his eyes.

"Xiao Anzi, I think I saw the emperor's disciple."

Bao Zhian was so frightened that he almost died on the spot: "Your Majesty..."

Oh my goodness, why did the emperor come suddenly and no one informed him?

Shangguan Wanjun glanced at him calmly: "I didn't let anyone know in advance."

Bao Zhian understood: No wonder no one reported it.

Old Qu looked at Shangguan Wanjun in a daze, and he frowned when he got closer.

"Girl, you look 70% similar to my imperial disciple."

Shangguan Wanjun laughed when she heard this: Are drunk people so cute and funny?

The next moment, Mr. Qu fell asleep on the table.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Qu has fallen asleep." Lianhua reminded hurriedly.

Shangguan Wanjun held her forehead helplessly, she really didn't know what to say.

"Help Mr. Qu in to wash up and let him have a good sleep."

Liu Cheng said, "It's the Emperor."

Bao Zhian was about to help but was stopped by Shangguan Wanjun.

"Just go and have a good rest."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll take my leave." Oh my god, after not seeing him for several months, he's talking to the emperor again. Oh, his little heart.

Summer Palace

Kang Jiandu reported to Concubine Hua, Tang Yihua: "My Lord, the Emperor has returned to the palace. I heard he is in Shiyaxuan now."

Concubine Hua, Tang Yihua, nodded slightly: "Okay, I understand, you can go down."

"Yes, Lord Ce."

Huapin - Tang Yihua looked at the backs of his followers as they left. He walked into the bedroom, took off his coat and lay down. Thinking that he would be able to see the person he wanted to see tomorrow, he fell asleep with a smile.

Shangguan Wanjun returned to her bedroom and had a good night's sleep. After being woken up by Aunt Cheng, she washed, changed her clothes and put on makeup, then went to the Golden Palace to attend court.

"My dear ministers, what happened yesterday?"

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming stepped out: "Your Majesty, yesterday the Jingzhao Yin solved ten cases."

The ministers were shocked when they heard this, and the right prime minister was skeptical.

"Ten? Sir Liu, please don't lie. Ten cases, I'm afraid this is beyond historical records."

Xuanpin-Song Xuanyi said: "Your Majesty, everything Lord Liu said is true."

The ministers discussed the matter in disbelief.

"How is this possible?"

"That's right."

"Ten cases a day, that would be exhausting."

"Who says it isn't?"

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming and Concubine Xuan - Song Xuanyi looked at each other. Faced with the distrust of their colleagues, they said there was nothing they could do because that was the fact anyway.

Listening to the noisy hall, Shangguan Wanjun felt a headache.

"Quiet."

When the ministers heard the empress's words, they immediately became silent.

"Ten cases a day is not impossible. I don't believe it. They are all major cases."

Grand Tutor Yun bowed and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Why don't you let Lord Liu tell the story?"

"Taifu Yun's words make sense. Then Lord Liu, please speak."

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty. The first case is this: two vendors were setting up stalls. The pig vendor said he lost a string of copper coins, and the vegetable vendor said the coins were his."

"Oh, who got the final result?"

"Your Majesty, this is the pig dealer."

"How is it determined?"

"I had a basin of water prepared and the copper coins placed in it, and a layer of lard emerged on the surface."

Shangguan Wanjun understood it immediately, as she had seen this case in other novels.

"Yes, that's right. What about the second one?"

"The second case was a murder."

The ministers were shocked: there was a murder case involved here.

"tell me the story."

"The person who reported the case said a child had killed another child, but his parents refused to believe it. However, all the evidence pointed to him, and the parents said the child could have killed someone."

Shangguan Wanjun secretly had a guess in her heart: "What's the truth?"

"Your servants have sentenced the child to death, and the reason is clear."

Master Yun asked, "How did you determine that?"

"I had someone prepare a bowl of rice and put the chopsticks in upside down. The child then put the chopsticks in the right way up and ate the rice."

Shangguan Wanjun smiled upon hearing this: "My dear, you are indeed suitable for judging cases. Yes, what about the third case?"

She wanted to see how interesting it was.

"The third case is because the grandparents sold their granddaughter. The parents wanted to take her away, but the ransom required fifty taels of silver. The problem is that the brothel only paid ten taels for her."

Censor Fang Wenhua asked, "Then I wonder what Lord Liu's verdict is on this matter?"

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming thought for a moment and said: "According to the laws of our dynasty, I will dissolve the relationship between the child and her grandparents and lend her fifty taels of silver so that she can redeem herself."

The ministers did not expect this to happen.

Shangguan Wanjun was more concerned about the child: "How old is the child and where is he now?"

"Your Majesty, the child is ten years old and is now in the Liu Mansion. I have asked someone to hand him over to the family for care."

"Your solution is feasible. You rescued a girl and made the brothel release her willingly. Bring her back to the mansion so that the girl will no longer be coerced and exploited by her grandparents."

"That's exactly what I thought."

"My dear minister, please bring the man into the palace after you leave the court tonight so I can take a look."

Although Concubine Lu Liu Haiming didn't understand why, she still agreed.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

General Xuanwei couldn't wait to ask, "What about the fourth one?"

Shangguan Wanjun was stunned, then smiled gently.

"General Xuanwei is now interested in judging cases."

"Your Majesty is joking, but I am just listening with great interest."

Many ministers secretly agreed in their hearts and listened attentively.

"The fourth case is quite bizarre and sad."

Shangguan Wanjun was puzzled: "Oh, why?"

"A man held a woman hostage. She was terrified by him. Besides being genuinely frightened, there was another important reason."

The ministers looked at him curiously, and the Minister of Revenue Mu Qinghai couldn't help but ask.

"and then."

"That's her dead husband."

The ministers were shocked. How could it be so explosive?

Shangguan Wanjun frowned slightly. "Dead husband? I don't seem to understand."

Master Yun asked, "But that woman has remarried?"

Concubine Lu-Liu Haiming sighed: "Exactly."

Concubine De - Mu Wen sighed: "This is really fate playing tricks on me."

Xuanpin - Song Xuanyi echoed: "Who says it's not? The key is that the woman also said that it was her mother-in-law who made her remarry, or forced her to marry. She had been a widow for three years after her late husband's death. During these three years, her mother-in-law resented her and believed that she had killed her son. She beat and scolded her. They had no children, so her mother-in-law married her off."

Even the eloquent Imperial Censor Fang Wenhua was shocked: "My deceased husband came back alive and found her, but he's questioning her in person?"

Concubine Lu - Liu Haiming nodded: "Yes, the man was unwilling to remarry, and seeing his beloved wife remarry and have a child, he wanted to die together with her."

Shangguan Wanjun was also shocked when she heard this: "This is truly a trick of fate. How will you judge, my dear?"

"According to the law, I declare that the marriage certificate between this woman and her current husband is invalid."
