Quick Transmigration: My Host's Darling Little Darling

Chapter 175 Tyrannical Crown Prince VS Blind Crown Princess 12

When Sheng Yuan woke up, Yu Zhixi was still fast asleep in his arms. He lowered his head and kissed his wife's swollen lips. Sheng Yuan carefully got up to go to the morning court, moving slowly so as not to wake the sleeping Yu Zhixi.

A moment of calm fell over the court, when Sheng Yuan dropped a bombshell.

"Your Majesty, I recently received a letter accusing Marquis Guo Wei of being an incorruptible official, oppressing the people, and accepting bribes. The Marquis's wife is also accused of usury and causing deaths, including the recently missing eldest son of the Vice Minister of War. The Guo family is arrogant and domineering in the Jiangnan region, abusing their power and causing immense harm. This matter is of great importance, and to be on the safe side, I secretly sent people to investigate. The investigation has confirmed these allegations. I implore Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly and severely punish the perpetrators!"

Upon hearing this, Marquis Beiwei immediately came out and knelt on the ground, crying out that he was wronged.

The emperor remained silent, his face expressionless, leaving no one knowing what he was thinking.

He had read the letter the Crown Prince mentioned; not only had the Crown Prince investigated it, but he had also sent people to investigate it.

Sheng Yuan gave the letter to the emperor from the beginning. This letter was forged by Nuonuo, as was the victim, but the evil deeds committed by the Guo family were real.

The emperor won't find any flaws; he investigates only to make a show of it. The key is for the emperor to investigate himself.

If you don't want people to know, don't do it.

Of all those present, the emperor was probably the one who knew best about the crimes of the Guo family, but he was not satisfied; he wanted to know something he didn't know.

Faced with the Marquis of Beiwei's protests, Sheng Yuan remained unmoved, acting as if it were none of his business, leaving everyone puzzled.

Xiao Hong's face was gloomy. The Guo family was his power, and Xiao Che was doing this to dismantle his power. Officials who passed the imperial examinations would be recommended to the Crown Prince by the Emperor.

The emperor is so biased! He's only focused on paving the way for the crown prince, even though the crown princess is a man!

Xiao Hong showed what he was thinking. If it weren't for the families behind the many women paving the way for him, he would never have been able to obtain the throne on his own.

Sheng Yuan not only wanted to sever ties with the Guo family, but he also wanted to skin the Su family alive.

The emperor looked at Xiao Hong and felt a wave of disappointment.

People are never satisfied, yet they lack the ability; such an outcome can only be tragic.

After the ministers in the court had finished pleading for leniency, the emperor finally spoke, saying that he was already aware of the matter and had investigated the facts. In order to give the people an explanation, all those involved would be severely punished without exception.

Marquis Beiwei was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned; his family members were not spared either.

Sheng Yuan told Yu Zhixi about this, and Yu Zhixi was shocked after hearing it. After all, Guo Shi used to be a tyrant in the Yu family, and even her father and grandmother had to tolerate her. She relied on the Beiwei Marquis's mansion. Now, she was taken down by his A Yuan.

Yu Zhixi looked at Sheng Yuan with eyes full of surprise and admiration.

"Ah Yuan, you're amazing!"

Sheng Yuan chuckled and pinched his cheeks, which had finally grown plump from being pampered. "I've found out the channels through which the Guo family bought poison for you."

There are many records of Guo buying poison. Over the years, countless people have been poisoned to death. With the Marquis of Beiwei's mansion suppressing her, she has always acted with impunity.

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhixi suppressed the joy in her eyes, her gaze dimmed, and she leaned against Sheng Yuan as if she had no bones.

He hated Guo Shi. Guo Shi almost killed him, Liu Guang, and Qian Niang, who had taken care of him since childhood. Whether for his own sake or for theirs, he could not forgive her.

But what about Yu Qingyan? What about Yu Qingjing? If they kill the Guo family, will they seek revenge?

"I'll be with you tomorrow. You can do whatever you want without worrying about anything." Sheng Yuan hugged him tighter and stroked his fluffy little head.

Yu Zhixi responded listlessly.

With the help of Sheng Yuan's divine power, Yu Zhixi recovered quickly. Before long, he was bouncing around again.

Yu Zhixi had originally planned to visit her maternal grandfather in the morning, but she didn't get up.

After the morning court session, Sheng Yuan sought out General Zhang alone to apologize. General Zhang didn't take it to heart, saying that it would be the same if he came again when he had time.

After so many years at the border, General Zhang was devastated when he learned that his most beloved daughter had died in childbirth. But when he thought of the two sons his daughter left behind, he could only step forward to support them.

When she returned home a while ago, she was furious to learn that her eldest grandson had married a man, and she thought the emperor was going too far. But she did not expect that her eldest grandson had become much more composed and had even said that he loved his crown princess and would not marry anyone else.

General Zhang, despite his advanced age, was too shocked to react upon hearing this, but seeing that his eldest grandson already had a plan in mind, he said no more.

He had married the woman he loved, so even without children or the throne, it wasn't too bad.

Since the sound was so distant, he took Yu Zhixi out for a trip.

Sheng Yuan and Yu Zhixi weren't very familiar with the most bustling areas of the capital, but Nuonuo had thoroughly explored the entire city, knowing exactly where to find good food, beautiful sights, and fun activities.

It had been wanting to play for a long time, and was extremely excited to finally be able to go out.

Nuonuo's human form in this world is a boy with regular features. Although he is not stunning, he is still pleasing to the eye.

As a digital assistant to a senior administrator of the Bureau, I'm visiting the small world, and I can't let my master down.

Yu Zhixi was also happy, but Sheng Yuan was afraid he would get lost, so he held his hand and wouldn't let go. Nuonuo was already excitedly wandering around. Yu Zhixi looked on with envy, but he also knew that Sheng Yuan was worried, so he obediently walked beside Sheng Yuan.

Yu Zhixi loved reading, so Shengyuan took him to the largest bookstore in the capital. Yu Zhixi's eyes lit up as soon as he entered the bookstore. Shengyuan smiled and patted his head, leading him around to look at the books. When they saw a book that interested them, they would pick it up and flip through it.

Upon seeing the words, Yu Zhixi felt a lump in her throat.

It's been a long time.

For a highly gifted genius, words are the source of everything; they provide him with a strong sense of security. But for seven years now, he has been watched in the dark, deprived of his right to read.

Shengyuan knew he liked this kind of atmosphere, so he stayed with him.

As the sun began to set, Sheng Yuan led his men to the most popular restaurant in the capital for dinner.

……

I'm already looking for a new cover to make. I didn't save the previous one, so I'm just putting a temporary one here.

Thanks for reminding!
