Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

After several days of investigation, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice and the Minister of the Supreme Court finally got to the bottom of the case. Xue Fan was also caught while escaping and it was time to close the case.

The emperor sat on a high dragon throne, with two rows of civil and military ministers standing on both sides.

The Minister of Justice stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, the truth of this case has been revealed. Xue Fan killed someone in the street. Although it was an accidental killing, the person died because of him. This is an indisputable fact."

"Furthermore, after killing someone, he did not immediately surrender to the Jingzhao Prefecture government, but instead chose to evade responsibility."

The emperor was furious when he heard this and slammed the table and stood up: "Xue Fan, do you admit your guilt?"

Xue Fan lowered his head and whispered, "I acknowledge my guilt."

"Killing someone means paying with your life. Since you plead guilty, I will throw you in jail and execute you later."

Xue Zhong knelt on the ground with sweat on his forehead, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried out at the top of his lungs: "Your Majesty, this is my only son. Please leave some bloodline for me! I am willing to pay for Miss Huo's life!"

His voice was full of despair and pleading. The civil and military officials standing in the hall could not help but feel pity. It was a pity that Lord Xue had lost two sons in succession.

His hair turned white overnight after his youngest son died, and his eldest son wanted to execute him in the autumn, which took half his life.

The emperor looked at the white-haired Xue Zhong, and although he felt reluctant, he was powerless. After all, there were witnesses and evidence, and he could not favor him.

The three major families are evenly matched in the court situation: the Huo family, the He family, and the Xue family. Now that Xue Zhong has lost his two sons, he will certainly have no interest in government affairs. Another family must rise again, otherwise only the Huo family and the He family will be left in the court. The greater their power, the greater the threat to the imperial power.

The emperor sat on the magnificent dragon throne, his sharp eyes sweeping over the ministers. All the civil and military officials held their breath, not daring to look directly at the emperor's face.

The emperor was silent for a moment, then shouted angrily, "Nonsense! As an important official in the court, you broke the law knowing it, which is a serious crime. If you can be punished for killing someone, what use is there for the laws of the Great Qi?"

"Your son killed someone in the street, committing such a serious crime. Instead of apologizing to the victim's family and asking for their forgiveness, you asked me to bend the law for personal gain. This is truly despicable."

"I will not punish you, considering your hard work and contributions to our dynasty. Return and reflect on your actions."

Xue Zhong knelt on the ground, sobbing in grief, and choked out, "Your humble servant obeys your order."

Two imperial guards dragged Xue Fan out. He looked at Xue Zhong with eyes full of reluctance and despair, but did not cry out for justice.

Xue Zhong looked at his son and screamed hysterically: "Fan'er... Fan'er..."

No matter how he cried and shouted, he couldn't call his son back, and he fainted on the spot due to emotional excitement.

"Come here, send Master Xue back to the palace and call the imperial physician for treatment."

"Yes."

The father-in-law immediately ordered someone to send the unconscious Xue Zhong back home and instructed the imperial physician to treat him well.

Prime Minister Huo watched the emperor execute Xue Fan. Although his daughter was killed, the murderer had been brought to justice, and her soul in heaven should rest in peace.

Moreover, it is a good thing that after Xue Zhonglian injured his two sons, he can no longer compete with him for power.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for seeking justice for my daughter."

"Whoever violates the laws of Great Qi will be severely punished. I hope all the ministers will bear this in mind."

All the ministers knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty is a wise ruler. May our Great Qi prosper."

After dismissing the court, the emperor left Tutor Ye alone.

He sighed deeply and asked tentatively, "Master Ye, Xue Zhong was an important official in the court. Now that both of his sons are dead, I'm afraid he will lose interest in government affairs. Who do you think is suitable to replace him?"

Ye Taifu was shocked and said, "Your Majesty, how dare this humble official interfere with your decision?"

"You were my mentor back then. I'd like to hear your opinion, but I may not adopt it. Just treat it as a chat and reminisce about the past."

"Your Majesty, please do not embarrass me. How dare I speak rashly about important matters at court?"

"How can I say this is difficult for you? Others don't even have this opportunity, but you're trying to hold them back."

Taifu Ye repeatedly declined, saying that serving the emperor was like serving a tiger. How could he dare to belittle himself and guess the emperor's mind?

"Your Majesty, I rarely come into contact with the ministers in the court, so I don't know their personalities very well. I dare not speak rashly and mislead Your Majesty into making the right judgment. I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."

The emperor suddenly changed the subject, "Your eldest son, Ye Hansen, is now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and your second son, Ye Hanbo, is the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. I remember that your granddaughter, Ye Qiuli, has reached the age of marriage. Is she married?"

Imperial Tutor Ye looked fiercely at the Emperor, "Your Majesty is knowledgeable and adamant. I admire you."

"Li'er, they haven't been engaged yet. My wife is trying to find a good family for her."

The emperor nodded slightly without saying anything. After Tutor Ye left, he sat there with his head down in thought.

After leaving, Master Ye felt uneasy. He didn't want the Ye family to be involved in the harem struggle, and his granddaughter's personality was not suitable for entering the palace, which made him at a loss.

After returning home, Mrs. Ye saw that he looked unhappy, so she asked him the reason, and he told her one by one.

"Master, the court is in a period of prosperity, and the Xue family has encountered a series of disasters. Lord Xue has no intention of competing for power with the other two families. Now the emperor wants to support another family to rise and confront the other two families."

"He's talking to you about this today, and I wonder if he wants you to become the second Xue family. If the emperor chooses you, you won't have the choice but to go for it. I hope the outcome is good."

"I hope I'm just worrying too much."

"If the emperor wants to support someone else, he will be overjoyed, but you will just back out."

"Madam, the coexistence of three powers is not a good thing. Look at Xue Zhong, even though he is very cunning and scheming, he still cannot defeat the other two families. This is a lesson learned from the past, which is frightening."

"The Dali Temple has yet to find the murderer of Xue Haoyu. This shows how covert the enemy is, and it's terrifying."

"The second son never married or had children. We only have two sons, Hansen and Hanbo. The number of grandchildren is even smaller. Our Ye family cannot afford such a toss."

"Master, let's just let nature take its course!"

The Grand Tutor sighed deeply and said, "It can only be done this way."

The next day, the emperor sent an imperial edict to the Ye family, appointing Ye Qiuli, the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Ye, as Consort Hui, and she would soon enter the palace to accompany him.

Even if the Ye family is unwilling to participate in the harem struggle, there is no room for maneuver, and Ye Qiuli can only enter the palace as a concubine.

Civil and military officials were discussing privately why the emperor suddenly chose the granddaughter of Master Ye as his concubine. Was it because he felt that Master Xue was no longer useful, or was there some other reason that left everyone puzzled?

The Queen was even more displeased when she learned about this. She had been much more at ease since the Crown Prince left the palace, and even if she was unhappy, she didn't dare show it.

Since the Xue family encountered frequent troubles, Concubine Shu felt that her position in the harem was precarious. She went to see the emperor, but the emperor was busy with state affairs and could hardly find time to see her.

Xue Fan killed Huo Xi in the street. The concubines in the harem all acted according to the queen's wishes, targeting her everywhere and mocking her that the Xue family would be extinct. She could not accept this and often hid in her bedroom to rage.

Today, she learned that the emperor had appointed the granddaughter of Grand Tutor Ye as Concubine Hui, which made her even more angry. She smashed many priceless decorations, but she still felt unsatisfied.

The nanny carefully comforted her, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Even if Concubine Hui entered the palace, she would not be able to compare with you. There are only the eldest prince and the fourth prince in the palace now. The emperor favors the fourth prince, and this is your confidence."

"Take the Fourth Prince to see the Emperor. You will be the most favored concubine in the harem. In a year or so, give birth to the Fifth Prince for the Emperor. No other woman in the harem will be able to shake your position."

Concubine Shu suddenly realized and said, "Mammy, you are right. My son is the emperor's most favored prince. Even if my Xue family suffers a temporary setback, as long as my son is favored, there will be a day when my Xue family will rise again."

"My lady, you are absolutely right."
