In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

After hearing what Xie Chengjin said, Shen Wenjun didn't react at all. Instead, the emperor looked incredulous, "How could Wanqing do such a thing?"

Xie Chengjin whispered, "I beg Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation. I am truly wronged, and there is nothing I can do. This is why..." As he spoke, Xie Chengjin's tone was filled with deep sadness, and he seemed to have indeed suffered great injustice.

The emperor was silent. On one side was his most trusted minister, and on the other side was his daughter. The emperor didn't know how to make a decision for a moment.

However, based on the principles of fairness and justice, the emperor still sent someone to bring Xu Wanqing into the palace.

Today, Xu Wanqing was waiting in her house for gold and silver to be delivered to her door, but she didn't expect that not only did she not receive the gold and silver, she also heard about what happened in the downtown area.

Now Xu Wanqing is quite resentful of Shen Wenjun, especially when she heard that Shen Wenjun took people to the palace. Xu Wanqing could no longer sit still and wandered around the mansion anxiously.

Xu Wanqing had been praying that the emperor would not know about this, but things often go against one's wishes. When someone from the palace came to say that the emperor wanted to see her, Xu Wanqing's face suddenly turned pale.

But not daring to delay, Xu Wanqing packed up and followed her aunt to the palace.

In the imperial study, Shen Wenjun and Xie Chengjin were standing there, waiting for Xu Wanqing's arrival.

As Xu Wanqing entered the room, her eyes were fixed on Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun, especially Shen Wenjun. Although he had his back to Xu Wanqing, he could still feel the vicious gaze coming from behind him.

The emperor cleared his throat upon seeing this, and Xu Wanqing then bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you, Father. May you be blessed with good health."

"Stand up and talk." The emperor waved his hand. He couldn't bear to see his daughter kneeling there. Subconsciously, the emperor didn't want to doubt that Xu Wanqing was really as unbearable as Xie Chengjin said.

"Thank you, father. I wonder why you called me here today?" Xu Wanqing stood up obediently and sat on the stool brought by the servants. She looked at the emperor and calmed herself down.

The emperor handed a memorial to Xu Wanqing, which was full of impeachments against Xu Wanqing.

Xu Wanqing took a glance, clenched her hand holding the memorial, and then quickly released it as if nothing had happened.

After reading the entire memorial with a frown, Xu Wanqing gently put it down and said, "Father, I am not aware of anything on this matter. I hope you will understand."

"Wanqing, are you serious? You are my eldest daughter. I have always loved you the most. You'd better not let me down." The emperor said with a hint of meaning and earnestness.

Xu Wanqing gritted her teeth and said that it had nothing to do with her before she died. The emperor closed his eyes slightly and said nothing more, but he also had no intention of letting Xu Wanqing leave.

Just when Xu Wanqing was about to get impatient, a guard walked in quickly from outside the door and presented a box to the emperor.

The emperor said nothing and checked the things in the box with a cold face. He glanced at Xu Wanqing indifferently, and then his expression became more and more ugly as he looked at the things. There was also a low pressure in the imperial study, which made people dare not breathe.

Xu Wanqing looked at the emperor like this and felt inexplicably panicked. Before she could say anything, the emperor threw the contents of the box directly at her feet.

After seeing what it was, Xu Wanqing's face turned pale instantly, and her legs lost all strength. She just stood up from the chair and fell to the ground with weak legs.

"Father, father... these, these... I..." Xu Wanqing's mind was blank. She subconsciously wanted to defend herself, but didn't know what to say.

"Xu Wanqing, you are so courageous! As the eldest princess, it's bad enough that you are addicted to gambling, but you even dare to threaten important officials of the court, just for your own selfish desires. Over the years, have you learned all the knowledge and cultivation?!" The emperor slammed the table.

"Father, it's not like that... I..." Xu Wanqing tried desperately to explain, but the thing on the ground made everything she said pale.

"Someone, come and convey my decree. From today on, Princess Xu Wanqing is confined to the Princess's Mansion. Without my permission, no one is allowed to visit her, and she is not allowed to come out. She will be fined one year's salary, and half of her private property will be confiscated into the national treasury. Do it immediately!" The emperor closed his eyes tightly.

In fact, this kind of punishment was nothing in Xie Chengjin's eyes, but Xie Chengjin never thought that this matter alone could make the emperor execute his own daughter.

On the contrary, the current punishment is already very considerable for Xie Chengjin.

The emperor did this to protect Xu Wanqing, but Xu Wanqing didn't think so. House arrest didn't have much impact on her. After all, she rarely left the house on weekdays. However, the confiscation of her private treasury really made Xu Wanqing bleed.

She wanted to struggle, but when she met the emperor's gaze, she tactfully said nothing. However, before being escorted away by the guards, Xu Wanqing stared at Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun fiercely. At this moment, Xu Wanqing completely hated Xie Chengjin and his group.

Although Xu Wanqing didn't know what the relationship between Shen Wenjun and Xie Chengjin was, no matter what, just based on this point, Shen Wenjun had completely offended Xu Wanqing.

After returning to her house, Xu Wanqing angrily smashed everything in the house, and the house was instantly unrecognizable. The other maids and servants dared not even breathe, for fear that they were the broken porcelain pieces lying on the ground.

"Xie Chengjin...Shen Wenjun...Okay, okay, you are really great. In that case, don't blame me for being rude. I will make you pay! Where are they? Come here!" Xu Wanqing was almost crazy.

She now has complete murderous intentions towards Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi. She didn't pay much attention to Shen Wenjun before, so she didn't have any handle on Shen Wenjun and could only put him aside.

But she knew very well that Xie Chengjin was still the emperor's favorite. If she attacked Xie Chengjin directly, she might not end up well. But besides this, she had other tricks.

"Xie Chengjin, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust." Xu Wanqing smiled viciously. Although she was under house arrest, her servants were not.

Xu Wanqing sent people to spread the news about the true identities of Xie Chengjin and Su Zhizhi, hoping that this would make Su Zhizhi and Xie Chengjin hated by everyone.

But what Xu Wanqing didn't know was that before her people could spread the news, they were discovered and intercepted by Shen Wenjun.
