The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

Upon receiving the sharp and sinister look from the Emperor of Dayong, Xingqi Tian frowned, realizing that Xingqi Yu had now turned his suspicions toward him.

"Does His Majesty suspect that Lord Kosaki Ten was responsible?"

Ji Wuge asked in a low voice, puzzled. He had just inadvertently seen the two sinister looks the Emperor gave Xing Qitian.

"I believe Lord Yukisaki would not do such a thing; he has always been very fond of the two princes."

Lord Tang Jingyao, the acting Grand Secretary of the Central State Council's Judicial Bureau, immediately expressed his opinion in a low voice.

"Do you think so too?"

Ji Wuge turned to look at Sikong Jin, but Sikong Jin touched his nose and shook his head. "Don't ask me, I don't know. I've discovered that I don't know anything about my future father-in-law, so I can't make any judgments."

"I also don't think it could be Lord Xingqi Tian. If he had those kinds of thoughts, he wouldn't have gone to Hangu Wangzhou all these years. Someone must be trying to sow discord within the royal family. However, I also find it strange that Prince Ming ended up with Liu Xianxian. Isn't this too much of a coincidence? The Emperor just said he wanted to bestow Liu Xianxian upon you! Before he even finished speaking, this happened to her?"

Ji Wuge squinted at Sikong Jin.

Sikong Jin stared blankly at Ji Wuge, her eyes filled with confusion and doubt. "How should I know? Why are you all looking at me like that? Since the Emperor was just about to say it, and hasn't said it yet, then this matter definitely has nothing to do with me. I was in the Hongguang Hall the whole time. I don't have the ability to predict the future!"

"Then why did you seem to be smiling so slyly when I looked at you just now? Was I hallucinating?"

Ji Wuge stared at Lord Sikong with considerable suspicion, while Tang Jingyao's gaze also became meaningful.

Lord Sikong gasped softly, frowning innocently, and said helplessly, "Let me tell you, I really didn't know about this. When someone as despicable as me gets down to business, it's not that simple. I would throw all their clothes into the lake, and only when they're so agitated they can't stop will I shout, 'Hey! Someone's being a pervert!' and let everyone watch this spectacular performance."

"How despicable!"

"That's outrageous!"

"Utterly shameless!"

"Shameless!"

Ji Wuge and Tang Jingyao glared at Lord Sikong with disdain.

They don't know this person!

"But to be honest, Liu Xianxian's figure is pretty good, and her face is passable too, although her heart is a little... You don't know, I almost did *that* to her back in Malan City, but unfortunately, this woman is too shrewish and a bit of a hypocrite, not my type, I just couldn't bring myself to do it..."

"Not your type? Then you should be someone else's type! Look at you, so delicate-looking, and your Adam's apple hasn't even grown yet. Oh, and what did you just say... Your Majesty, I am pure in body and soul... Haha, that's hilarious!"

"That's right. Back in Malan City, he was the one who sought out Xiao Cui the most. Every time, he would take her to a room before they had even finished drinking, and Ji Wuge and I would always pay for the drinks!"

In the end, Emperor Yongzheng handled this matter as follows:

First, Prince Ming was confined to the Ming Palace for three months and was not allowed to leave the palace at will.

Second, the Ministry of Justice should investigate this matter as soon as possible.

Third, the head of the Liu family, Liu Changyue, was summoned to the Imperial Study.

The outcome was as Lord Sikong had predicted; the farce ended with the Empress fainting from the shock. However, the look Ming Wang gave Lie Wang as he was being escorted away made Emperor Dayong's gaze instantly grow even colder and more ruthless. He glanced coldly at Duan Wang, Xing Qitian, but Xing Qitian simply smiled and said—

"Your Majesty, the birthday banquet is almost over. Your Majesty is busy with military affairs and there are some matters that require your personal attention. I would like to step down first. Would Your Majesty grant me permission?"

A cold glint flashed in Xing Qiyu's eyes, but a concerned and warm smile appeared on his face. "Your Majesty, you are busy with military affairs, but you still need to take care of your health. We are very grateful to you for your help in Hangu and Wangzhou. You still need to share my burdens! Go back now. I will have Eunuch Wang send you some tonics later. Take good care of yourself."

Xing Qitian smiled gently, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have only done my best. I thank Your Majesty again for facilitating the marriage between Hua'er and Sikong Jin. Please take good care of yourself. I will take my leave now!"

Xingqi Tian glanced at Ji Jiucheng and the others, and then several ministers took their leave. Sikong Jin and Ji Wuge also followed and left the Imperial Garden.

At this point, you should leave after watching the play, otherwise you'll get into trouble again.

Before long, the entire Imperial Garden was empty. Everyone wisely left, and anyone could sense that Emperor Yongzheng was furious.

Inside the imperial study, the Emperor of Dayong was furious. With a wave of his hand, the teacup on the dragon desk shattered on the ground. The Left Prime Minister, General Zhu Yuan, and Liu Changyue, the head of the Liu family, were all startled. They exchanged glances, but no one dared to step forward to speak. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Emperor Yongxing Yu's expression was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, his large hands were clenched tightly, and his eyes flashed with a cold light.

"Your Majesty, this matter is certainly not simple. I believe it is a scheme by someone to incite conflict between Prince Ming and Prince Lie! We cannot fall for it!"

Left Chancellor Yang Hong spoke in a low voice.

Emperor Da Yong gritted his teeth and said coldly, "He underestimates me far too much!"

"Your Majesty, this old minister believes that Xian'er was framed. She would never do such a rebellious thing... to lose her virginity to Prince Ming... I beg Your Majesty to seek justice for my daughter!"

A subtle glint flickered in Liu Changyue's aged eyes as he stepped forward and bowed.

"Lord Liu, I'm not comfortable with what you're saying either. Are you trying to pin the blame on His Highness Prince Ming?"

As soon as Liu Changyue finished speaking, General Zhu Yuan immediately protested.

"That's not what I meant."

"Then what do you mean? When officials bring their families to the palace for banquets, there are regulations that prohibit their families from wandering around freely. Doesn't Lord Liu know this? No wonder I didn't see Liu Xianxian at the banquet just now!"

General Zhu Yuan looked at Liu Changyue with some suspicion.
