"Wan'er is quite righteous. I didn't confess that I asked her to wrongfully accuse Feng Jingyun. I have no shirking responsibility in rescuing her." She frowned, "Wan'er's matter is not big, the biggest thing is
The problem is Wei Jingyao. Before he went crazy, he had already realized that it was me and you who had plotted to harm him. Now that he is awake, he will not let it go. This is a big trouble."
"What should we do? Now the King of Qi is so protective of Feng Jingyun. He is Feng Jingyun's uncle. It's probably not easy to deal with him."
"Hmph. I don't want him to come out. I want him to go into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment vertically and carry him out horizontally!" Concubine Yu ordered fiercely, "De'an, find a killer to sneak into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and kill Wei Jingyao as soon as possible. This time.
Don’t let it slip!”
Just when Eunuch De'an was about to accept the order, Concubine Yu added, "Wait a minute, bribe the jailer and poison Wei Jingyao's food. If you use both methods, I will not believe that he will not die!"
"Yes, empress." De'an was ordered to leave.
Another eunuch hurriedly entered the palace and said, "Mother, it's not good!"
"I really don't like hearing these three words. Tell me, what's the matter?" Concubine Yu's well-made face showed displeasure.
"Fifth Miss Feng Guiwan was beaten to pieces by the officers in the Ministry of Punishments until her skin was torn apart and she fainted. She only held her breath. Zhou Jin'an, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishments, sentenced the Fifth Miss to ten years in prison."
Qin Yuhuan almost fainted after hearing this, "My poor Wan'er!"
Concubine Jade was so angry that she stood up from her chair and said, "How could this happen! I have been in the palace for more than ten years and have established good relations with many important officials in the court. Zhou Jin'an is one of them. Crimes committed by the royal family and nobles must be reviewed by the three divisions.
How could Zhou Jinan be so careless in convicting Wan'er? It's just a slanderer, it's just a small crime, but he doesn't show off my face, is he an old fool? Xuan Zhou Jinan Jin Palace gives me an explanation!"
"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhou said that for some reason, many ministers came to put pressure on Feng Guiwan as soon as possible. The jailer who was bribed by you was trying to beat Feng Guiwan, and no one dared to let go. The three-division trial has been finalized as quickly as possible.
However, Feng Guiwan has been sentenced to ten years in prison. Mr. Zhou also said that he can't help you, the empress, and if you don't follow the trend, he won't be able to secure his official position, so he won't see you in person."
"Did he say who was exerting pressure secretly?" Concubine Yu turned her beautiful eyes, "Is it King Qi?"
"Master Zhou revealed that he is not the King of Qi, but the Marquis of Xiangyang."
"What's the matter with the Marquis of Xiangyang? He has no friendship with the Marquis of Changle and me, how could he do it for no reason..."
"Master Zhou didn't know anything more. Master Zhou also asked his servant to tell the empress that Prime Minister Sun has led hundreds of officials to jointly submit a letter to the prince, striving to release Wei Jingyao from prison."
"Prime Minister Sun Chong is also here to help!" Concubine Yu was dizzy after hearing this, "Why is everything going against me? Who is behind this!"
No one answered this question.
Concubine Yu fell back on the chair with a pale face. Qin Yuhuan had already been so frightened that she fell to the ground, "What should I do now..."
"What else can we do?" Concubine Yu's beautiful and mature face lost all color, "Let Wei Jingyao come out, and you and I will die. Feng Jingyun's bastard will have many powerful backings. Now I can only hope for De'an.
The bribed killer had already taken Wei Jingyao’s life.”…
Early in the morning, in the study room of the Prince's Mansion, Jun Chenghao was sitting behind the desk reading memorials. The more he looked at the piles of memorials that had just been delivered, the darker his face became.
