Hope ignited in Li Zhuo's eyes. He was indeed pursuing excitement, so he half-hesitantly decided to have a tryst with Concubine Xian. Before he knew it, he had reached this point.

In the past, his parents had taken care of him without thinking about the consequences, and with her constant seduction, he couldn't resist. He didn't take the initiative, so he blamed Concubine Xian, so the crime should be lighter, right?

Ji Huai questioned them one by one, and the maid who was not involved was fine. When asked about Lian Qing, she said, "The empress and the prince have always been in contact, and they often meet. They always stay for an hour or two, and the servants are waiting outside. "

"You're talking nonsense!" Concubine Xian retorted loudly with a stern tone, gritting her teeth and said, "Lian Qing, don't talk nonsense!"

Lian Qing shrank her neck, looking as if she was too scared to speak.

"Are you threatening me in front of me?" Ji Huai looked at Concubine Xian, scolded her heavily, and then looked at Lian Qing, "Tell me exactly what you know, and I will ensure that nothing happens to you, and no one can threaten you!

"

Lian Qing kowtowed respectfully, looked at the Concubine Xian, and spoke very clearly, "The Queen is still thinking of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Prince is also thinking of the Queen. The two of them have to meet every once in a while, and the servants are always guarding outside.

"This is absolutely impossible!" Wang Shang came out and said angrily, "Your Majesty, Lan'er must have been framed by someone. If she had admired the Crown Prince from the beginning, she would not have asked me to send her to the palace. Her feelings towards the Emperor

, heaven and earth can be used as lessons!”

"My slave is definitely not lying." After finishing speaking, Lian Qing added, "The purse was given to the prince by the empress. It was embroidered by the empress. There was also a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered in it. The empress also asked me to send cakes to the prince and asked me to ask about the prince.

According to the news, on the day of the prince’s wedding, the empress lost her temper and scratched my face. I cried all night and stayed up all night.”

Eunuch Yuan Hai stepped forward, took the purse, looked through it, and nodded to Ji Huai.

"You're talking nonsense! I didn't!" Concubine Xian lost her mind, "Lianqing, who told you to say that? Who told you to say that? Who bribed you to harm me?!"

"No one bribed this slave. The scars on my face were caused when the queen lost her temper." Lian Qing revealed half of her face, faced Concubine Xian, and spoke in a higher tone.

"Who bribed you? Did..."

"Okay!" Ji Huai interrupted sharply, "Ms. Wang, aren't you embarrassed enough by me?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...I don't have it, Your Majesty..." Concubine Xian crawled over on her knees, going to hug Ji Huai's legs, but was stopped by the guards.

There was a chilling coldness in Ji Huai's eyes, and he stared at the two people on the ground, "The good concubine Wang did not abide by the rules of women, knowingly committed the crime, and was imprisoned in Heyin Palace to reflect on it."

"Put Li Zhuo, the crown prince of Xuyang, in prison to await his fate!"

As he spoke, he felt violently bullied in his chest, threw up his sleeves and left.

In the eyes of outsiders, the emperor had suffered great humiliation, and it was not a pity for the two of them to die. However, Song Wan, who was following her, did not feel how angry he was. When he stepped forward to chase her away, he waited for her and extended his hand to subdue her.

one time.

It's quite strange.

The next day.

Li Huai, the Hou Yang Hou, went to the palace to meet the saint. In order to save the life of his only son, he asked himself to take off his official position.

Ji Huai naturally "won't give in" and said righteously, "I know Aiqing's contribution and will never take my anger out on Aiqing."

Li Huai kept talking, but the emperor remained unmoved, so he had to grit his teeth and said, "The land in Lihe is barren and the people's lives are difficult. If I am willing to become the prefect, I will definitely save the people from the fire."

"Aiqing has such feelings, I have nothing to say." Ji Huai stood up and walked towards him, his expression was so helpless, "Aiqing is so insistent, I can only agree."

Finally, the Marquis of Xunyang retained the title of Marquis and was moved to Lihe as the magistrate.

The mountains and plains are desolate, and they have only a false reputation.

Next, Ning'an Hou Shizi reported that he had discovered that the concealed iron ore had been mined in large quantities. I am afraid it would not be simple at this time.

Ji Huai ordered an investigation.

Finally, it was revealed that Wang Shang secretly forged weapons. Ji Huai did not hesitate and ordered the Wang family to be confiscated.

Song Wan connected a series of things, and everything seemed to come together.

Her brother discovered the submitted iron ore and pursued it all the way. Wang Shang knew that the matter could no longer be concealed, so he asked Wang Xuer to have a relationship with his brother as a threat.

Then, prepare the second way, dragging in Li Huai, the Marquis of Xunyang, who has 100,000 soldiers, and let the concubine Xian have a relationship with Li Zhuo, and have an affair with the concubine in the harem. This one can kill Li Zhuo and the Marquis of Xunyang.

.

If the Wang family is destroyed, Li Zhuo will have no hope of living. As his only son, Li Huai cannot leave him alone and must join forces to rebel.

The Xunyang Marquis handed over the military power and moved the whole family. Everyone said that the emperor's family was kind-hearted. The whole Wang family was imprisoned. The men were exiled and the women were slaves. The court changed Xiaobo's blood. Everyone said that the emperor's subordinates had retained

Love, such a heinous crime, was not all executed.

Song Wan felt a little scared.

The Li family, the Wang family, and the Song family were the three main forces in the court, and they were also the forces that could most interfere with Ji Huai.

Her father was devoted to the people, but sometimes he was stubborn. Li Huai was wavering and had unclear ideas. Wang Shang was extremely ambitious and his power was growing.

The emperor eliminated the two major forces without spending a single soldier, took back tens of thousands of soldiers, conducted scientific examinations in advance, and recruited a large number of talented counselors. It is no exaggeration to say that his current position is indestructible.

This court is his alone. Several decrees that have been delayed for a year are now directly implemented.

This night.

Song Wan was holding the little princess, who was becoming more and more lovable now, white and tender, she would laugh when she stared at people, and she would even stretch out her hands to scratch her hair and clothes.

If it hurts you, he will look aggrieved and cute.

Don't be cruel, if you are violent, you will feel aggrieved and cry.

Ji Huai came to her palace and as soon as he sat down, Eunuch Yuan Hai brought news: Concubine Xian had hanged herself in the cold palace.

Hearing this, he didn't have any reaction, "Just watch and deal with it."

"Yes." Eunuch Yuan Hai left.

Song Wan looked at him. From the moment he heard the news to now, he had not shown any sadness or reaction. She didn't know how to describe the emotion in her heart.

Seemingly happy? Not happy?

have no idea.

It's a bit complicated.

"Is there something on my face?" Ji Huai saw her looking at him and smiled.

The smile dazzled her eyes again. She retracted her hand holding the little princess and said softly, "The matter between the concubine Xian and the crown prince has given the emperor a headache. There is also the Wang family behind, and everything is piled up together."

"If it wasn't discovered, it would be a big deal."

Ji Huai chuckled lightly, "You don't need to hint to me, just say it clearly."

"I dare not say it." Song Wan pursed Min's red lips.

"Why don't you dare?" He bent his fingers and gently scratched the tip of her nose, "Yes, I know, but I'm just pushing the boat along."

"Your Majesty's plan has included me in it. My brain can't be compared to others anyway. Maybe I will become a stepping stone for others." Song Wan said, feeling slightly sad, "Your Majesty

Without saying a word, I am like a fool. Everything has been known to others, but I am still trying my best to cover it up and let others manipulate me."

As expected, he knew everything about Concubine Xian and Li Zhuo, the affairs of the Wang family, and the little tricks she did behind her back...

"How did you find out? I kept it secret from you." Ji Huai asked her.

"I'm not a fool. The Emperor is my bedside man. These two things are all subject to the Emperor's wishes. If the Emperor didn't know about it, I don't know how angry he would be. But the Emperor has everything under his control.

There is still room for punishment in the way of punishment." Song Wan replied.

It is not showing mercy at all, but the punishments are too harsh one after another, but it makes him appear ruthless and spares people's lives, which makes him appear tolerant and magnanimous, and he wins people's hearts as a wise king.

Ji Huai nodded, "The analysis is reasonable."

"I am stupid, but I think I am smart." Song Wan lowered his eyes and spoke dullly, "Life and death just depend on one's mood."

"Why are you so stupid? Didn't you guess me quite accurately?" Ji Huai looked at her.

After hearing this, she looked up at him again, unable to refute for a moment, and simply said, "I'm stupid anyway, I can't compete with anyone, I can't rob anyone."

"Who are you going to fight with? What are you planning on me? What are you trying to rob me of?" he asked.

Song Wan was choked again.

She really didn't have anything to plan for him. After thinking about it, she whispered, "It's not the emperor, it's the many sisters. There are many sisters in the harem, but there is only one emperor."

After saying that, he put the little princess into his arms and said, "The emperor will not understand. I am not jealous, nor will I frame any of my sisters, nor will I compete with you. I just care about the emperor."

Ji Huai hugged his daughter and said slowly, "With your temper, you won't suffer a loss."

Song Wan looked at him with beautiful eyes, feeling aggrieved and frustrated, "Does the Emperor mean to ask me to make way for my sisters?"

"Are you willing to tolerate your temper?" Ji Huai smiled and said without teasing her, "I don't want others to bully you. After a while, when I make you my queen, no one will be able to bully you."

Stay on your end."

Song Wan was always having temper tantrums with him, and every time they had temper tantrums, he would coax her and control her feelings, so that their relationship would improve.

The moment he spoke this time, she was stunned and looked at him blankly.

The first reaction was that he was joking? But how could he be joking about something like this?

"When I marry you, there are no matchmakers or six betrothals. I will hold the canonization ceremony grandly to make up for the regrets I had at that time." Ji Huai promised.

Song Wan made sure that he was not joking. He twitched the corners of his mouth a few times and didn't know what to say. He just called him, "Your Majesty..."

"Is your anger gone?" he asked.
