The pampered heiress holds the script and leads her cannon fodder family to a counterattack.

Immediately afterwards, the door burst open, and a squad of guards rushed in.

Kang Qiu's son lay on the ground, almost weeping with joy.

Great! Someone has finally come to my rescue!

When the Liu couple saw so many soldiers enter, they were stunned, and the next moment they were immediately taken into custody.

A hint of resentment flashed in Liu's eyes.

I'm about to succeed, so why should I fail at the last minute?

Why is my life always so unlucky?

Then panic set in again.

What am I going to do now? Her actions have been discovered; am I going to die?

Her son is still lying in bed at home! What should she do?

"You can't arrest me! My son is sick and lying at home! What will happen to my son if you arrest me!" Liu shouted hysterically.

A soldier replied to her, "We have already searched your residence. Your son is dead, and it has been less than half an hour."

Liu's eyes widened.

"Impossible, impossible... The witch doctor said that as long as a sacrifice was made, the calamity could be averted! You're lying to me, you're lying to me, aren't you...?"

Tears streamed down her face.

I've been busy with all this, but unexpectedly my son died first.

At this moment, Kang Qiu also came in from outside.

She saw her son standing alive in front of her and immediately burst into tears. The mother and son embraced each other, both of them weeping uncontrollably.

It's so good that my son is back!

Kang Qiu felt that there was hope for her to live again, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart.

Kang Qiu looked closely at her son. He had lost a lot of weight and looked terribly thin. It broke her heart.

There were several scabbed bloodstains on my wrist.

Kang Qiu hugged her son and pointed at Liu's nose, cursing, "You bitch! I trusted you so much, but I never expected you to be so heartless!"

Liu's eyes were filled with the flames of jealousy and hatred: "Why! Why can you reunite with your son, while my son is dead!"

Kang Qiu was furious and cursed, "Your son died because you were utterly heartless and committed many unjust acts, so your son suffered retribution!"

Liu looked at Kang Qiu and remained silent.

Could it really be so? Could it be that my son is suffering retribution for all the evil I have done?

Thinking of her deceased son, Liu couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears.

Kang Qiu's son was found and brought back.

The Liu couple were sentenced to beheading, and even the witch doctor was implicated.

After investigation, it was found that the witch doctor was wicked and couldn't stand seeing others do well; he had already killed several people.

The witch doctor was also sentenced to beheading.

Kang Qiu was grateful to Qin Wanying, but did not visit her to express his thanks.

She knew she had to do things for the girl and couldn't have too much contact with her openly.

Qin Wanying sent her shadow to swap out Kang Qiu's indenture and secretly handed it to her.

The Yan family just lost 500 Shadows, so they don't have enough manpower to do things; otherwise, the indentures wouldn't have been exchanged so easily.

However, all members of the Yan family are still protected by experts, making it impossible to harm them.

Since Kang Qiu had nowhere to hide her contract, she asked Qin Wanying to keep it safe for her.

Anyway, Kang Qiu had already decided that his life would belong to the girl from now on, so it didn't matter if he left his indenture with her.

The Yan family had just lost its shadow guards and weapons and was regrouping, so no one noticed Kang Qiu, a servant in the outer courtyard.

Moreover, Qin Wanying didn't allow Kang Qiu to do any dangerous work. She did the same things as usual, except that she paid more attention to the movements of the Yan family.

This move has been made.

I never know when it might come in handy.

The Ministry of Justice sentenced Cong Kang and his wife and son to death, which implicated some brokers who were sentenced to death or exile according to their different crimes.

After the morning court session, Minister He of the Ministry of Justice announced that he would be meeting the Emperor privately.

He didn't dare mention the matter of the girl from Tianji Garden in court, as it concerned imperial secrets and he didn't want it to be overheard by those with ulterior motives.

The Minister of Justice arrived at the Imperial Study and bowed to the Emperor.

The Emperor found it strange. Why was the Minister of Justice coming to see him alone?

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report," said Minister He.

"What is it, my dear minister? Tell me," the emperor said, putting down his brush.

"Recently, the Ministry of Justice cracked a major case, finding more than 500 trafficked women and children, and the masterminds have all been sentenced."

The emperor nodded.

He had heard a little about this matter.

It was indeed a major case; King Zhao's daughter was also abducted by this kidnapper.

However, it shouldn't be so bad that the Minister of Justice would have to come to his study alone to see him.

"Does Your Majesty know how this case was solved?" Minister He asked.

"How was it cracked?" the Emperor asked.

The case was indeed solved in a very short time.

"Does Your Majesty know of the Heavenly Mystery Garden?"

The Emperor sat up straight.

Could she be the fortune teller from the Heavenly Mystery Garden?

When King Zhao came last time, he said that his daughter was found by that woman.

The woman was on his side and managed to win over King Zhao to his camp.

In recent days, he had heard about the woman's deeds several times.

He was already very interested in that woman.

Unexpectedly, it was that woman who helped solve the case?

The Minister of Justice took out a stack of papers from his pocket.

"Your Majesty, please look. This is the information about abducted women and girls given by a woman from Tianji Garden."

The eunuch went down and took the paper away.

The emperor looked at the papers, turning the pages one by one, his hands even trembling slightly.

He had heard about the woman's deeds before and thought that she was accurate in fortune telling, so he could invite her to the Imperial Observatory.

But now, looking at these papers, I just feel a chill run down my spine.

Is this woman really capable of such precise calculations?

It didn't seem like something was calculated; it seemed like something was seen.

The emperor even thought that the woman could see images of what happened.

Such abilities are simply extraordinary!

How could the Imperial Observatory possibly contain such extraordinary abilities?

She is capable of doing much bigger things!

Minister He said, "Your Majesty, this woman is exceptionally capable. She can find out cases that our Ministry of Justice cannot with ease."

"If this woman can assist the Ministry of Justice in solving the case, it will be a great fortune for the Ministry of Justice."

The emperor was also somewhat excited and nodded.

This woman is so capable that she can assist not only the Ministry of Justice in solving cases, but also the Court of Judicial Review in solving cases.

Now that the War King and the Empress Dowager wield immense power, he is worried about how to deal with them.

With this woman's help, the country will be more secure.

“You are right, my lord. I will find time to meet this woman,” the Emperor replied.

The Minister of Justice withdrew.

The Emperor immediately summoned the Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince.

Many of his sons have already pledged allegiance to the War King.

The Ninth Prince did not pledge allegiance to the War King.

He had a good relationship with the Crown Prince and always sided with him.

The Emperor never hides anything from Ninth Prince.

Although Xiao Dongqian was his own son, he would never pass the throne to him.

Xiao Dongqian is ambitious and, once he ascends to the throne, he will surely launch a war to wipe out the surrounding countries.

At that time, the people will surely suffer.

The peaceful and prosperous era that his father's generation had worked so hard to establish could not be destroyed by the War King.

Therefore, he wanted to do everything in his power to ensure that the crown prince would ascend the throne.

The Crown Prince and the Ninth Prince entered shortly afterward.
