The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

The Qi family was behind this case of embezzlement of military funds, but the Qi family was very cunning and pushed all the evidence onto their lackey, the Minister of Justice Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan then deliberately framed his subordinate Jiang Huaizhou.

Everything is interconnected and each situation is connected.

On the high hall, Ji Wuyuan was wearing a dark-colored gold-woven dragon robe, with a stern face and cold eyes, and his whole body exuded a fierce and oppressive aura.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the civil and military officials of His Highness who were silent as a mouse. His fingers tapped lightly on the armrests of the dragon throne, and each tap seemed to strike a heavy hammer in everyone's hearts.

A moment later, Ji Wuyuan's deep and powerful voice rang out, echoing throughout the hall: "Jiang Huaizhou, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is acquitted."

Zhang Yuan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice and a member of the Qi family faction, stood up to object: "Your Majesty, please think twice. Jiang Huaizhou has been found guilty of embezzling military funds, and he is also implicated in the assassination attempt on the emperor in Beishan. How can you just let him go now?"

"All those involved in this incident will be either executed or exiled. How can Jiang Huaizhou remain unharmed?"

The other ministers all echoed: "Yes! Yes!"

"Think twice, Your Majesty!"

Xie Zhiyan, the Dali Temple official, sneered, stood up, and said sarcastically, "Minister Zhang is really the thief crying thief!"

"Embezzlement of military funds, assassination at Beishan, forming a clique for personal gain..."

"Is there anything else you dare not do?"

Minister Zhang's pupils widened and he glared angrily, but before he could say anything, Xie Zhiyan threw all the evidence in his face.

Minister Zhang was so frightened that he trembled all over and said tremblingly, "I am innocent!"

After saying this, he looked for help at Duke Qi, who was standing by without saying a word, but the latter pretended not to see anything.

Ji Wuyuan, sitting upright on the dragon throne, curled his lips, his brows filled with a cold and murderous look: "Strip off his official robes, drag him away, and chop him off."

Originally, Ji Wuyuan would not end it so quickly.

What angered him about the assassination of the Beishan hunting dancer was not the assassination, but the pink dress the dancer was wearing and the peach blossom makeup on her face.

It's like the charming and holy spring peach blossom in my heart, which has been stained with dirt, and it's indescribably disgusting.

The assassination of the dancer was particularly strange from the very beginning. It was not so much an assassination as it was deliberately created for Zhang Cairen to rescue the emperor in front of him, so that she could gain the emperor's favor.

Ji Wuyuan saw through it at a glance, so after returning to the palace, he immediately promoted Zhang Cairen to Zhang Meiren, making them think that their plan had succeeded.

But they should never have deliberately let the dancer imitate Jiang Wantang's clothing and makeup, in order to imply that the favorite concubine Jiang Wantang used her beauty to please others in front of everyone.

Little did they know that it was this that angered Sheng Yan and accelerated the process of their death.

When the emperor is angry, blood will flow for thousands of miles.

Ji Wuyuan ordered the execution of all male members of Zhang Yuan's family, the Vice Minister of Justice, and branded the women with slave marks and forced them to serve as the lowest-ranking official prostitutes.

All officials involved will be executed.

They insulted Jiang Wantang by making innuendos about the dancers, so he reduced all the women in the Zhang family to the lowest level of prostitutes.

This could have been avoided if Concubine Zhang had entered the palace.

However, it was because of her that she exposed Jiang Huaizhou's involvement in the corruption case to Jiang Wantang.

This led to many events that happened later, disrupting Ji Wuyuan's plans.

Therefore, Ji Wuyuan issued an order to abolish Concubine Zhang's position, and sent her and all the other women in the Zhang family to work as prostitutes in a brothel.

It was two days later when Jiang Wantang woke up.

Changle Palace.

Jiang Wantang on the couch slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was still a little blurry and her head was dizzy. She moved her body slightly, only to feel powerless and extremely weak.

As his thoughts gradually came back to him, Jiang Wantang immediately threw off the quilt and stood up, but when his feet just touched the ground, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Xiuzhu, who was outside the bedroom, heard the noise and immediately walked in. He helped Jiang Wantang, who had fallen to the ground, up and said in surprise, "Miss, you're finally awake!"

Jiang Wantang tugged at her arm and asked anxiously, "How long have I been sleeping? Where's my brother? How is he?"

The voice is hoarse and weak.

Xiuzhu quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady. The eldest master is fine."

"I'll go get you a glass of water first."

As she spoke, she helped Jiang Wantang back to the bed and turned around to pour a glass of water.

Jiang Wantang had just woken up and was still a little dazed. When she heard that her brother was fine, she immediately felt relieved.

But the next moment, she thought of something and her heart began to tighten again.

"Where is my brother now?"

Xiuzhu passed the cup to her lips, and when she drank it, he comforted her, "Don't worry, young lady, the eldest master only suffered some minor injuries, and his life is safe."

"Your Majesty has already brought him to the palace and asked the imperial physician to treat him."

Jiang Wantang paused while drinking water, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

Ji Wuyuan not only let her brother go, but also let the imperial physician treat him?!

Isn’t it true that the sun is rising from the west?

Jiang Wantang was very suspicious.

Afterwards, Jiang Wantang asked Xiuzhu to tell her everything that had happened in the past few days in detail.

After hearing this, Jiang Wantang's face turned dark and he gritted his teeth.

It would have been bad enough that Xie Zhiyan, that bastard, knocked her out when she was caught off guard, but he actually let them drug her.

Although it was for her own good, she didn't like the feeling of owing someone a favor.

A debt of favor is also a debt, and it is harder to repay than owing money.

After all, as the Minister of Dali Temple, he has no shortage of money.

After Jiang Wantang washed up, she went to the Imperial Hospital to see Jiang Huaizhou.

Jiang Huaizhou was dressed in green and stood tall and straight. He seemed to be fine, and Jiang Wantang finally felt relieved.

Jiang Huaizhou looked at her with a guilty look and blamed himself: "Tang'er, I'm sorry..."

"It's my brother who has implicated you this time."

Jiang Wantang smiled and said nonchalantly, "We are brother and sister. What's the point of talking about whether we are involved or not? Without my brother, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Jiang Huaizhou's pupils trembled, and a complex look flashed across his eyes: "Everyone in the palace is saying that you have fallen out of favor. His Majesty..."

Jiang Wantang quickly waved her hands and said, "How is that possible? His Majesty loves me so much, how could he possibly fall out of favor?"

"It's just palace rumors."

So when someone who had just walked to the door of the Imperial Hospital heard this, he paused slightly, curled his lips, and turned away.

Jiang Wantang had a bright smile on her face, but she felt guilty inside.

Jiang Huaizhou was skeptical: "Is that really the case?"

Jiang Wantang nodded vigorously, his eyes full of sincerity.

After that, the brother and sister exchanged greetings for a while, and then Jiang Huaizhou was sent out of the palace.

In the afternoon, Jiang Wantang brought a bowl of ginseng soup to the Taiji Palace to express her gratitude, but was turned away at the door. She didn't even get to see Ji Wuyuan...
