"Your Majesty..." If something were to happen to the Empress, all the palace maids and eunuchs would be implicated, not to mention the many past grievances. The Empress is young and beautiful, naturally she is not willing to live a dull life. Now these things are all under the Emperor's nose. Even the master cannot escape this calamity, how can the people below him?
"Can't even half a person get out?" If this news could be reported to the Wang family in advance, there might still be a way out. But the eyes of the people around him had already told Wang Ya the answer, not to mention that these were all things that had been known for a long time. The few words Ba Li Yan Qi had just come to tell himself were to inform him that everything about him was under Ba Li Yan Qi's control.
Even if it were Dong Qingyuan himself, he couldn't escape Baili Yanxi's surveillance. This man may seem more and more uninterested in things over the past two years, but he still hides so much power. Now that the Wang family is the first to suffer, can others escape this fate?
A man who doesn't care even if his own wife cheats on him, Wang Ya can't imagine how deep the water is in Baili Yanqi's heart. The person who could stir up Baili Yanqi's heartstrings has been gone for a long time, but Baili Yanqi still hasn't forgotten. This man is so shallow yet so profound, making people feel both love and fear!
Looking at the palace maids and eunuchs, Wang Ya suddenly burst out laughing. It turned out that all this luxurious food and clothing, all this wealth and glory, were just empty dreams. In everyone's eyes, she was just a joke. The family needed someone to prop up their influence in the harem, so they sent her in despite knowing what would happen.
Baili Yanqi needs an empress, and also needs to appease the resentment in the heart of the Wang family, so he gives himself these false names. As for Dong Qingyuan... that man is so gentle, even when making love, there will be a shy expression, making people feel that this man is so pure.
She, however, had always ignored the coldness in that man's eyes. Perhaps in his eyes, she was just an empress, a person who could help him rise to power, and he offered her his young and strong body. The people in the palace were no different, seeing only the title of Empress given by Emperor Flame.
All the pride and arrogance of the past have become a joke at this moment, or perhaps only she herself has not realized it! Wang Ya's heart suddenly calmed down at this moment, found her favorite clothes, and began to dress up. The palace maid looked at the empress like this and thought that Wang Ya must have gone mad by now.
Now the emperor has already confined Wang Ya here, but still wants to dress her up like this. What does Wang Ya want to do? There are already clever and intelligent people who have run out to report the news, and after passing through several channels, it finally reached Baili Yanqi's ears. However, Baili Yanqi didn't pay much attention to it, anyway, nothing meaningful can be stirred up.
As for Wang Ya, Baili Yanxi was very disappointed. He had also thought about whether this woman would do something, but who would have thought that the things she did were all so unbearable and could only be described with the two words "despicable". Facing such a woman, Baili Yanxi really didn't have any interest at all.
Dressing up properly is also a good thing, an ugly woman tomorrow can't arouse any interest.
"What else do you have to say?" Looking at the massive pile of evidence in front of him, which was over three stacks high and half a person tall, Baili Yanqi felt that Pei Mingxuan had acted too late. How many years would it take for these crimes to be exposed, and how many innocent people were involved? Baili Yanqi didn't dare to think about it, this could only prove that he was an incompetent ruler.
Even if they knew these things were happening, Bai Li Yan Qi never thought it was this much. This morning when Yuan Shu Huan saw this pile of stuff, he felt that people's resentment towards the rich and powerful wasn't entirely unfounded. It's precisely because these people have money and power that they can be so corrupt and lawless.
Rights and wealth are really good things! Yuan Shu Han exclaimed at the time, Pei Ming Xuan was truly frightened. Others can see this thing shouldn't they be gritting their teeth, how come this girl sees this thing and exclaims that it's a good thing? Pei Ming Xuan felt that Yuan Shu Han's thinking was indeed impossible to understand with normal people's thinking.
Yuan Shuhuan looked at Pei Mingxuan and laughed, saying: "What do you think I used to be? I was just a bandit, a black gangster. What normal moral values can you expect from me?" Yuan Shuhuan's words were not deceiving anyone, after all, the education he received since childhood was different. Yuan Shuhuan wasn't someone who couldn't accept change, but this thing wasn't something that could be changed at will anyway.
"I... " wanted to make some excuses, but facing such complete evidence, he didn't know what he should excuse himself for. Although he had never done such a thing before, this ironclad, mountain-like evidence of a crime punishable by the destruction of his entire family was not something he could stand aside from.
He actually knew that these things were inevitable, and in a family as corrupt and superficial as this one, such things are bound to happen. Although he himself couldn't stand it, he was just a junior and couldn't speak out against his elders. Now that the matter has come to light, they can only bear the consequences themselves; there's no use blaming heaven or earth or others - it's all their own doing.
Perhaps it's better if such a family is destroyed. Wang An glanced at the evidence stacked over there, all of which were accumulated with other people's blood and tears. Their hands, stained with sin, will eventually have their day of reckoning. Long-lasting prosperity is just an eternal dream in people's hearts. Such distant and unattainable words can only exist in dreams.
In such a family, it's not about being guilty or innocent, but rather the original sin that they were born with. Even his own hands can't be said to be completely clean, so how can he restrain others?
"The Ministry of Justice should follow the law." It's ironic that the Minister of Justice is actually a student of Wang An's grandfather, and now the Emperor is asking him to investigate the Wang family. But seeing the Minister stuttering and unable to speak, he owes his current position largely to the Wang family's efforts.
Now that we want to discuss the crimes of the Wang family, there must be a share of credit for ourselves. How can such things be evaluated?
Pei Mingxuan's voice was despairingly cold and biting at this moment. "If the Minister doesn't even know how to sentence you, then what use are you?" Pei Mingxuan naturally knew the relationships between these people, but since he had come to pick a fight today, he might as well go all out.
Pei Mingxuan didn't want to leave any future troubles for himself, although this person was the one his master least favored among his disciples. Since he had decided to take action, he would have to cut off all possibilities of future problems, even if it meant not caring about himself anymore; he couldn't use Yuan Shu as a gamble.
"Your Highness, this..." The Minister of Justice's leg softened and he knelt even lower. Originally, because Pei Mingxuan had repeatedly attacked the Wang family, among those still standing in the imperial court, there was only himself left. It seemed that Pei Mingxuan intended to eradicate the Wang family this time, and he would definitely not be spared either.
As of now, the only one who can avoid getting involved in this matter is probably only Dong Qingyuan. However, since someone like Dong Xiang can keep to himself, how would he get entangled in such a situation again?
"Secretary He doesn't have to get entangled with the prince, the law will be decided as it should be. The prince can't take charge of this matter." Dong Qingyuan resented Wang Ya for going to trouble Yuan Shuhuan, hoping that Yuan Shuhuan wouldn't hold a grudge against her because of this. She was already in enough trouble with Yuan Shuhuan, and now this woman was stirring up more trouble.
Moreover, the Wang family is indeed a giant, and only when this giant falls can another giant rise. Even if that giant won't be surnamed Dong, Dong Qingyuan thinks it's no big deal. The fall of the Wang family may not make him the biggest beneficiary, but he can still gain many benefits from it. Although Dong Qingyuan is tired of these things, at the same time, he is also most accustomed to such things.
Wang was furious in his heart, but Dong Qingyuan's words were undoubtedly true. Even if he wanted to refute them, there was no way to do so. Although such behavior was tantamount to kicking the Wang family while they were down, it demonstrated Dong Qingyuan's fairness and impartiality.
Moreover, Wang An was also very clear about the matter between Wang Ya and Dong Qingyuan. For such a shameless person, Wang An had no way to deal with him at all.
"Dong Qing actually said something fair." Bai Li Yan Qi couldn't help but feel that this fair statement was not as good as not saying it at all. Dong Qing Yuan's attitude towards Wang Ya was only utilitarian, unfortunately these people couldn't see clearly. Dong Qing Yuan was as heartless as himself, yet he didn't have anyone to worry about in his heart, perhaps this was the most terrifying thing about Dong Qing Yuan.
When Dong Qingyuan met Yuan Shuhuan, the situation had been completely rewritten. What secrets were hidden in Yuan Shuhuan's small body? Let these men who could be called the pride of heaven surround this little yellow-haired boy one by one.
Dong Qingyuan clearly understood the sarcasm in Baili Yanxi's words, and indeed, there was some truth to what Wang Ya had done. However, Dong Qingyuan also had his own thoughts on the matter - that Wang Ya herself had her own set of problems. If Wang Ya knew how to love and respect herself, the Emperor would not have been so heartless, nor would she have provoked Yuan Shuhuan's anger.
Yuan Shu Huan is the forbidden place in their hearts, let alone letting Yuan Shu Huan learn etiquette, isn't this purely looking for death? Yuan Shu Huan himself is not a good person to provoke, and he doesn't put worldly rules in his heart. Especially those so-called high-ranking officials in their party, they don't have any weight in people's minds.
The identity of the queen is useful for herself, but it's equivalent to non-existent for Yuan Shuhuan. Yuan Shuhuan's own ability can kill a queen like her with ease, thinking of this Pei Mingxuan couldn't help but touch his own neck. On that day when Yuan Shuhuan placed the sword on her own neck, Dong Qingyuan truly felt the fear of death.
Dong Qingyuan was really afraid, so when facing Yuan Shuhuan, he always had to be tolerant. The next day, he mustered up the courage to go to the General's Mansion, only Dong Qingyuan knew how much time he spent calming his own heart.
