That night, many people couldn't sleep after seeing Qin Zhao. Those who didn't see Qin Zhao couldn't sleep either.
In the early morning of the next day, the general judge of Changzhou was impeached by Prince Xiao Ce. The general judge of Changzhou, whose surname was Wu, was the elder brother of Concubine Wu.
When the members of the Wu family's court saw Xiao Ce impeaching the Wu family, they naturally stood up to defend him immediately.
However, Xiao Ce had a lot of evidence in his hands, and every piece of evidence proved that Wu Tongpan indeed colluded with local officials, misappropriated disaster relief money, delayed disaster relief, and was an unpardonable crime.
For a time, the court hall was very lively.
It was only because the emperor suffered from another headache that the matter had to be postponed.
After the emperor returned to the Yangxin Hall, Concubine Wu rushed over, knelt down in front of the emperor and cried, saying that Wu Tong was loyal to the country and could not do such unreasonable things.
She also claimed that it was the prince Xiao Ce who poured dirty water on the Wu family and asked the emperor to tell the truth.
The emperor was already feeling unwell, and hearing Concubine Wu's sharp voice made his headache even worse.
And the woman kneeling in front of him was the woman he had loved for half his life. He didn't want the prince to impeach the truth, but if it was the truth, he would not be able to offend her lightly.
"This matter has not yet been decided. I will get to the bottom of it. Please step back." This time, the emperor was not moved by Concubine Wu's tears.
"emperor……"
As soon as Concubine Wu opened her mouth, she met the emperor's cloudy eyes.
"Although I am not as good as before, I am not always confused about right and wrong. I told you to step back first."
Under the emperor's gaze, Concubine Wu hid her face in tears and walked away.
As soon as she left the Yangxin Palace, Concubine Wu held back her tears, and a flash of anger flashed in her eyes: "The prince actually dares to deliberately target my natal family, he has taken the courage of a leopard!"
Lingxue did not dare to answer the conversation casually this time.
If Wu Tongpan really embezzled the official money allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief, the matter is not a trivial matter. No matter how powerful Concubine Wu was, she would not be able to escape unscathed.
The Wu family was really brave. Just because Concubine Wu was in the palace, they were so arrogant that they actually did such a treasonous thing. I'm afraid they are tired of living.
After Concubine Wu returned to Jinyang Palace, she paced back and forth in the palace: "Go to the East Palace and find Aunt Zhong."
Over the years, she would discuss it with Aunt Zhong when she encountered problems. Maybe Aunt Zhong would be able to overcome this difficulty this time.
Lingxue left in response and quickly found Nanny Zhong to Jinyang Palace.
After hearing what happened, Aunt Zhong sighed: "There is nothing I can do about this matter. If what the prince said is correct and there is evidence in hand, the empress must prepare for the worst."
"Worst plan, what do you mean, mama?" Concubine Wu heard this and asked in a deep voice.
"Abandon your soldiers to save your chariot! Your Majesty should put the overall situation first. If Mr. Wu is enriching himself, the Emperor will definitely not let Mr. Wu go so easily. In this case, your Majesty should kill your relatives righteously in order to save yourself." Aunt Zhong said calmly.
Answered loudly.
Concubine Wu sat on the imperial concubine chair: "No, I can't do this..."
She and her second brother have had a brother-sister relationship for many years. When she was able to enter the palace, it was because the second brother went through a lot of troubles to let her enter the camp. She had nothing when she entered the palace. If the second brother hadn't helped her behind the scenes, this palace would have
How could there be Concubine Wu?
The Wu family finally got what it is today. She and the Wu family supported each other to achieve the glory of the Wu family today. She must never abandon her relatives.
"The imperial concubine must put the overall situation first. Keep the green hills alive, even if there is no firewood? His Royal Highness is clearly targeting the Wu family deliberately. If the imperial concubine is not bold, I am afraid that she will also suffer the consequences." Aunt Zhong's expression
Gloomy, expressing the seriousness of the matter.
The emperor indeed doted on the empress, but that was limited to the harem. If the concubine's natal family did something detrimental to the country's justice, the emperor would definitely abandon the concubine.
"I remember that the emperor said that the emperor's favor for the empress is also limited, because the Tian family is ruthless." When Grandma Zhong said this, she felt uncomfortable.
The world only knows that Concubine Wu is doting on the harem, but how does it know that the day after Concubine Wu lost the right to have children, the emperor favored Concubine Shu?
It was at that moment that the imperial concubine understood one thing: the emperor has a weak nature.
But it was also during that bedtime that Concubine Shu became pregnant with the crown prince.
It is precisely because of this that the imperial concubine hates Concubine Shu so much that she always makes things difficult and ridicules her whenever she sees her.
It happened that he was the crown prince again, so the imperial concubine couldn't beat him, so she wished she could send her most beloved niece to the East Palace in the end.
Now, it is the crown prince who wants to overwhelm the entire Wu family. How can the imperial concubine not hate this?
"The Tian family is ruthless. Yes, I have personally experienced the feeling of despair. How can I still hope that the emperor will take my face and let my second brother go?" Concubine Wu showed a smile that was uglier than crying: "
You are right, I have no choice but to abandon my soldiers to protect my chariot."
Xiao Ce, Xiao Ce, this prince who has been at odds with her since he was born, why does he always have to go against her?
She specifically told the assassin sent last time not to hurt Xiao Ce, but her kindness was rewarded like this by Xiao Ce?
If Xiao Ce continues to be so ignorant, she will have to find a way to get rid of the prince in order to save herself.
But on Sister Xi's side...
She originally hoped that Sister Xi could help her realize her wish and become the Crown Princess. When the Crown Prince ascended the throne, Sister Xi would become the Queen.
But now things are backfired. She is only afraid that before Sister Xi can sleep with her, the Wu family will be ruined because of the prince's deliberate attack.
For a moment, Concubine Wu also lost her mind.
After Nanny Zhong returned to Wangqiu Pavilion, she told Wu Xiyu about Xiao Ce's impeachment of Wu Tongpan.
After hearing this, Wu Xiyu's face turned as pale as snow: "Why did uncle do such a treasonous thing?"
At this moment, she was just glad that it was not her father. If her father had done such a treasonous thing, she would inevitably be implicated.
Fortunately, fortunately, it’s not the father.
Aunt Zhong comforted her: "Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, Mr. Wu is not so bold..."
"Yes, the big tree attracts the wind. Maybe someone has stolen the money and framed it. This matter must be investigated thoroughly." Wu Xiyu hurriedly agreed.
But she also knew in her heart that since Xiao Ce chose to impeach Wu Tongsheng, he must have enough evidence in his hand, otherwise he would not impeach him in public.
"Perhaps Liangyuan can go and persuade His Highness the Crown Prince to stop entangled in this matter." Aunt Zhong suddenly said.
Perhaps this method is the most effective at the moment.
"Mommy, your thinking is too simple. Don't say that I am not valued by His Highness. Even if I am valued by His Highness, will His Highness disregard your righteousness because I am a woman? Even if the imperial concubine and aunt went to ask the emperor to forgive this matter, the emperor would
You may not listen to it." Wu Xiyu refuted Aunt Zhong's suggestion.
It was impossible for her to get involved in this matter. Instead, she had to clean herself up. After all, this was not what her father did.
If she rashly went to His Highness the Crown Prince and mentioned this matter, it would make His Highness unhappy.
