Jiang Wantang finished speaking, completely ignoring the other's reactions, and said to Xiuzhu, "Throw these two out, as far as you can."

Then, he said to the palace maids in the courtyard, "Throw out everything these two people have used or touched..."

There was a disgust in his words that was so direct that it was impossible to ignore.

"Jiang Wantang! You evil girl..."

As Qin started to curse, Xiuzhu blocked her mouth with the dirty cloth used to wipe the stone table. She grabbed Qin in her left hand and Jiang Wanhe in her right hand, and threw them out without mercy.

What happened in Changle Palace soon reached the ears of Ji Wuyuan who was in Xuanzheng Hall. Coincidentally, Xie Zhiyan was also there.

When Wang Fuhai was reporting, he unconsciously looked at Xie Zhiyan several times, and his eyes seemed to be blaming him for attracting many women.

After hearing this, Ji Wuyuan looked at Xie Zhiyan with an ambiguous look.

Xie Zhiyan quickly waved his hands and said speechlessly, "Why are you all looking at me? I don't even know what the third young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion looks like."

"You can blame me for this unexpected disaster?"

What the hell is going on?

Xie Zhiyan felt that he had never been so speechless in his life.

What he was most worried about now was the vengeful little fox, who was secretly holding a grudge against him.

Ji Wuyuan curled his lips, but the emotion in his eyes was dark. He said to Wang Fuhai, "Go and tell Jiang Zhixu to come over."

Soon, Prime Minister Jiang Zhixu appeared in the Xuanzheng Hall. He knelt down and saluted: "Your Majesty, your humble servant pays respect..."

Before he could finish his words, a loud "bang" sounded in the hall...

Jiang Zhixu only felt a flash before his eyes, and before he could react, the scalding hot teacup hit his forehead.

The porcelain pieces exploded instantly, splashing hot tea all over his face. A sharp pain came over him, and blood from his forehead flowed down his face.

Jiang Zhixu trembled, but did not dare to complain. He just lowered his body again and knelt tremblingly.

He said in panic, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I don't know what crime I have committed. Please tell me clearly, Your Majesty."

Ji Wuyuan sneered and said sharply, "You are a prime minister, but you can't even manage your own harem. In my opinion, you should let other capable people take over the position of prime minister."

Jiang Zhixu was terrified. He couldn't imagine what his situation would be like if he lost this position.

He looked at Xie Zhiyan beside him with a look of help, and it was obvious that he wanted him to beg for mercy.

The latter sneered, his tone becoming even colder: "Your Majesty is wise. Prime Minister Jiang is unworthy of his position. He should have abdicated long ago."

"I heard that Prime Minister Jiang's third daughter is interested in me and wants Your Majesty to grant her marriage?"

"Humph, your family is quite ambitious. Not everyone can enter the Xie family."

Jiang Zhixu knelt in the hall with a look of horror on his face, beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

He knew that Jiang Wanhe was clamoring to marry Xie Zhiyan, but he had already clearly ordered the mother and daughter not to mention the matter again.

Although Qin was ignorant, he still understood that a noble family like the Yong'an Marquisate and royal relatives were not something they could afford to marry.

But he never expected that the ignorant mother and daughter Qin would dare to cause trouble in the palace, especially on such a grand festival.

The family is unfortunate!

Jiang Zhixu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

His voice trembled as he pleaded, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Thank you for calming down. I acknowledge my crime and will strictly discipline the people in the palace in the future. Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of my daughter, Concubine Shu, give me another chance."

It would have been fine if he didn't mention Jiang Wantang, but as soon as he mentioned Jiang Wantang, Ji Wuyuan's anger grew even more.

If it weren't for the incident caused by Qin's mother and daughter today, Ji Wuyuan would not have planned to deal with him so quickly.

He sneered, the curve of his lips deepening, his tone cold and stern, each word emphasized: "What qualifications do you have to mention her? If it weren't for her, I would have taken your life long ago based on the stupid things you did in private."

Jiang Zhixu's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at Ji Wuyuan in shock and fear: "I will never dare to do it again. I beg Your Majesty to forgive me this time..."

As Jiang Zhixu spoke, he kowtowed repeatedly, and the sound of his kowtows was particularly clear in the silent hall.

Ji Wuyuan's face was as gloomy as water, and he looked at Jiang Zhixu who was kneeling on the ground with cold eyes.

"Jiang Zhixu, I will spare your life because you are Concubine Shu's father."

"From this day forward, I will dismiss you from your position as Prime Minister and demote you to the rank of fifth-rank official, the Supervisor of Pastoral Affairs. I hope you will reflect on your mistakes in your new position. If you make any more mistakes, I will not forgive you."

Ji Wuyuan's cold words hit Jiang Zhixu like a sledgehammer, breaking his spine.

To put it nicely, the Shangmujian is a minor official of the fifth rank, but in fact he is a horse breeder, who manages the horse farm and is responsible for the feeding and reproduction of chickens, ducks and other livestock.

Jiang Zhixu felt his head buzzing and his body felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.

He was trembling, but could only kowtow and thank the emperor: "Your Majesty, please be so kind. I accept my guilt and will definitely change my ways."

His voice was filled with despair and unwillingness. His former honor and power turned into nothing at this moment, disappearing in a flash under the sunlight.

Jiang Wantang remained calm when he heard the news.

Ji Wuyuan is a man of great integrity and will deal with Jiang Zhixu sooner or later. However, Jiang Wantang never expected that he would show mercy and spare his life, and even reward him with a fifth-rank official position.

To her, it made no difference whether Jiang Zhixu was the prime minister or the fifth-rank governor.

A man who bears the name of father but is worse than an animal.

Thinking about it this way, it would be perfect for him to raise horses and other livestock like chickens and ducks.

Killing people and destroying their hearts, who suffers the most? The tyrant suffers the most!

But it must be said that his punishment was very much to Jiang Wantang's liking.

So, my mood, which had been affected in the morning, instantly improved.

Before the palace banquet began, news came from Concubine Yu that she was ready to take action at the palace banquet today. She also said that based on her understanding of Empress Dowager Qi, Empress Dowager Qi would most likely take action at the palace banquet today.

Concubine Yu told Jiang Wantang to be more careful today.

Tonight is destined not to be a peaceful night...
