Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

Cui Xueyan, dressed in beggar's clothes and with messy hair, shuttled through the bustling crowds on both sides of the street, avoiding the officers and soldiers who were looking for her in the distance.

At this moment, Xu Liangyu, wearing the armor of the Imperial Guards, with a golden crown tied up his horsetail, rode a tall horse and led the Imperial Guards.

The front position was traditionally the position of the commander of the Royal Guards.

It’s actually a woman?

Cui Xueyan was surprised and looked at it in a daze.

"Who is she? The commander of the Royal Guard is a woman?"

The woman selling candy cakes next to her said with admiration,

"I know this. She is Xu Liangyu, the eldest daughter of the Xu family. She is now the commander of the Imperial Guards, the first female commander in our history!"

"She's really amazing. A woman became a member of the Royal Guards and even took the position of commander. How did she do it..."

Cui Xueyan looked at Xu Liangyu with eyes full of envy, as well as surprise and admiration.

The woman selling candy cakes began to talk non-stop,

"Oh! You don't know, this eldest daughter of the Xu family is quite capable. She passed the assessment based on her own abilities. Tell me, who says women are inferior to men? But then again, she also owes a lot to our Empress. It's said that she was almost married off to an old man by her father and stepmother, but she happened to save the Empress's brother, and the Empress granted her a favor. She was given the opportunity to join the Imperial Guard as a woman.

Everyone in the imperial city says the Empress is spoiled and willful, but I, an old woman, think our Empress is better than any of the previous ones. At least she's not so pedantic. Why can't women serve in the court? Humph! We women are no worse than men! "

The vendor selling buns next to him retorted with a playful smile,

"What do you, an old woman, know? If all women became officials, their hearts would become wild, and we men wouldn't be able to control them. Who would take care of the children and the elderly at home?"

The woman selling sugar cakes spat,

"Bah! Why don't you just say you men stay home to take care of the elderly and children, while we women go off to work as officials?"

"Tsk, it's been like this since ancient times, men work outside and women work inside..."

While the two were arguing, Cui Xueyan's eyes followed the luxurious sedan chair passing by not far away.

The person inside should be the queen of the Xia family.

Cui Xueyan's dead eyes suddenly lit up with a glimmer of hope. Maybe she could take a gamble.

Besides escaping and dying, does she have any other choice...

If you succeed, you can be her staff member. If you fail, the worst that can happen is that you die.

She had no intention of living anyway.

She knew her own abilities. If she were a man, she would have made great achievements in the imperial examinations.

The struggles in the harem have always been cruel, and the Queen of the Xia family must need a smart person by her side to give her advice.

"She's over there! Go get her!"

Cui Xuewei's voice brought Cui Xueyan back to her senses.

Cui Xuewei, who was limping and had bruises on her face, pointed at Cui Xueyan. The two soldiers beside her immediately followed her gaze, squeezed through the crowd and rushed over.

"The Ministry of Justice is arresting people, get out of the way!"

The crowded crowd was so frightened that they immediately moved close to the wall to make way for the officers and soldiers from the Ministry of Justice.

Seeing this, Cui Xueyan didn't think too much about it. She rushed out quickly and threw herself under Xia Xizhi's sedan chair, shouting,

"Your Majesty! I have a grievance against myself. Please save my life! I am knowledgeable and willing to serve you!"

The pursuing officers and soldiers rushed over to pull the man away, but were stopped by Xu Liangyu with a long spear.

"Who allowed you to get close to the Queen's sedan chair? Get out!"

The two officers and soldiers were frightened by the aura and were too scared to move forward.

Xia Xizhi pulled open the car curtain and pretended to be confused.

"what happened?"

At this moment, Wang Ti, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, came hurriedly and bowed his head.

"Your Majesty, I am Wang Ti, the Minister of Justice. This woman is a fugitive murderer, and the Ministry of Justice is pursuing her. Please forgive me if this may have offended you."

"Really? Are you a murderer?" Xia Xizhi looked at Cui Xueyan.

Cui Xueyan shook her head in denial, pretending to be horrified and aggrieved.

"Empress, I am innocent! I wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, how could I possibly kill someone?"

Xia Xizhi raised his eyelids and looked at Wang Ti.

"She said she was innocent. Do you have any evidence?"

Wang Ti paused.

“There is indeed no evidence…”

Cui Xuewei immediately followed up,

"I can prove it! She's our Cui family's concubine. She hated our family, so she took revenge. She almost strangled me to death, and the rib marks on my neck are proof! Then she said she was going to beat my mother to death with clubs, and she was indeed beaten to death! And the sudden fire at the Cui family compound, with over half of the family dead or injured, must have been her doing!"

Cui Xuewei's words were so confident that one had to believe them.

There was a small commotion around.

"Oh my god, it turns out she was the one who started the fire this morning... What a cruel woman."

"How vicious! No matter what the reason, killing so many people is wrong. Just behead her in the street!"

"But I seem to know this Cui Xueyan. She always quietly studies in the library. She's a very quiet and beautiful girl. This shouldn't be the case... maybe there's something else going on?"

"Who knows? The Cui family's stepmother isn't a kind person. Maybe she was bullied so badly that she exploded."

"No one would want to marry such a vicious woman, no matter how beautiful she is."

.......

"I have never done this, Your Majesty, please understand!"

No matter how much Cui Xuewei said, Cui Xueyan only said this one sentence.

Xia Xizhi raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Cui Xuewei and then looked at Wang Ti.

"Is this the only witness?"

Wang Ti frowned slightly.

"Yes, Queen. However, the facts are clear, and there is a motive for the crime. I will arrest him and interrogate him first to prevent him from escaping."

Is this incompetent queen going to stop the Ministry of Justice from handling the case?

Wang Ti was immediately displeased, his face gloomy. Even the queen was just a woman. Who allowed her to interfere in the investigation of a case handled by a third-rank assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice?

Xia Xizhi frowned and got out of the car, saying coldly,

"Is this how the Ministry of Justice handles cases?"

"I seem to remember that there is a clause in our law that requires evidence before arresting someone, otherwise your Ministry of Justice will be guilty of abuse of power." Xia Xizhi's tone was extremely serious.

Wang Ti suddenly started and his expression changed.

There is indeed such a law, but this is how they usually handle cases: catch the suspect first, and then deal with it later. If they catch the wrong person and then release him, no one dares to say anything.

I didn't expect that this idiot queen actually knew...

The crime of abuse of power can be described as a big deal or a small one. If the queen really keeps holding him accountable, he might lose his official position and even go to jail.

Wang Ti broke out in a cold sweat and quickly showed weakness.

"Your Majesty, I did do something wrong, but I had no choice but to do it in order to prevent the suspect from escaping. I was inconsiderate!"

Not far away, Yan Sili, who was riding on a horse, looked at Xia Xizhi with a smile full of doting.

His queen is so majestic!

Look at how scared Wang Ti, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, is.

Not only is he powerful, he is also knowledgeable and even knows the laws very well.

Xia Fuzhan saw Yan Sili's unabashed gaze, and his face turned even darker...

Damn it, could it be that the third brat’s nonsense is the truth?

This wolf cub with eight hundred tricks in his head seems to look even more unpleasant to him!

......

"Don't be afraid, come with me. You said you are knowledgeable? It just so happens that the position of a palace lady is vacant. I have always been looking for talented people. If you pass the test, you will follow me from now on. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Xia Xizhi helped Cui Xueyan up and patted her shoulder.

"Yes! I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

Cui Xueyan's eyes were filled with tears of excitement. She could live well...

Seeing Cui Xueyan was about to leave, Cui Xuewei became completely anxious and shouted angrily,

"Wait! She really has a grudge against the Cui family! It must be her who did it! I have evidence!"
