"These despicable people have no shame in dealing with a little girl."

The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Anle was only twelve years old and was stabbed in the back. She was so innocent.

As for Tian Linwen involved in the rumor, Emperor Jianchang handed the matter over to Xiao Yuwei for investigation.

Emperor Jianchang waved his hand to summon the Imperial Guards. "The Huo family is truly a bad family, raising a despicable person like Huo Xiujie. Take Huo Xiujie to the Dali Temple and hand him over to Zhou Qiheng for punishment."

What a great Huo family! Last time, Anle had a conflict with the rebellious son Xiaosi, and he discovered that Xiaosi was causing trouble in the palace, so he locked him up and took his anger out on the Huo family, who were Xiaosi's maternal grandfather.

Now it seems that the Huo family did not dare to resent him, but at that time, they held a grudge against Anle. They slandered Anle's reputation in this way, which was murderous and heartbreaking. They were completely unscrupulous to use such a despicable trick on a little girl.

Seeing that His Majesty accidentally broke a teacup and cut his finger in anger, Zhao Chong was so scared that his hands shook.

He trotted up to His Majesty, disregarding etiquette, pulled out a white handkerchief from his bosom, and quickly raised his hand to stop the bleeding, his face panicked, "My Lord, even if you are angry, you can't hurt yourself."

At this moment, the young disciple Zhao Kui ran in from outside with a hesitant look on his face.

When Emperor Jianchang saw this, he asked directly, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, the wife of the Minister of the Huo Mansion has brought Master Huo to the palace to apologize."

Emperor Jianchang said with a cold expression, "The Huo family has no way of educating their children. They are maliciously inciting people and using a woman's innocence to attack Princess Anle. If it were another woman, facing the rumors all over the streets, she would probably even lose her life.

The Huo family is resentful. They are complaining about the last time I ordered Minister Huo to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion!

Huo Xiujie was so cruel to the little girl he had an argument with. He might have other murders on his shoulders. Send him directly to the Dali Temple.

Minister Huo's self-reflection was not done well. In that case, he will first cultivate his character within the palace for two years, and all official duties will be handed over to the Minister of Works."

Zhao Kui came to the outside of the imperial study and conveyed Emperor Jianchang's oral instructions to Madam Huo and her son Huo Xiujie. Madam Huo was deeply shocked and fainted on the spot.

Huo Xiujie was so scared that he kept begging for mercy towards the imperial study.

Several quick-eyed and quick-handed royal guards immediately rushed over, blocked his mouth, and took him away.

The people of Xiaoyuwei acted decisively and were quick and efficient in investigating and spreading the news about Tian Linwen and Tao Yuwei.

"Your Majesty, the rumors about Princess Anle and Tian Linwen happened in the First Prince's mansion."

After receiving advance instructions from his superiors, a captain of the Xiaoyu Guard told Emperor Jianchang what had happened.

After hearing this, Emperor Jianchang realized that Tian Linwen was actually having an affair with a woman in the eldest prince's mansion.

"It turns out the rumors are true. However, someone deliberately concealed the true situation when spreading the rumors, and even maliciously said that the woman was An Le. How big of a person is An Le? How could such a loophole-filled rumor be spread with such details? What exactly do these people want?"

Emperor Jianchang would not allow anyone to bully Tao Yuwei under his nose.

The girl was his savior, and these people knew that he loved her, but they still dared to use those despicable means on her. This was a slap in his face.

"Take Tian Linwen to the prison for interrogation. I want to see why he did this."

As the person involved in the rumor, Tian Linwen not only did not stand up to clarify the truth of the matter, but instead took advantage of the rumor and allowed a group of servants to go to the General's Mansion to cause trouble, accusing Anle of sending people to kill him and almost taking his life.

The things here sound weird no matter how you listen to them.

He didn't believe that Tian Linwen went to so much trouble to spread the rumor that he and Anle were husband and wife just to force the Tao family to marry him and get close to the Tao family.

Without any verification, he could directly point out that Anle was the culprit of the assassination. This is making enemies, not making friends.

There is something fishy about Tian Wenlin, and his purpose must be investigated.

"Your Majesty, we have obtained evidence of the Minister of Land and Revenue's corruption and bribery. He is currently being held in the Dali Temple's Iodine Prison. The commander-in-chief will prepare a memorial to the emperor tomorrow with the details of the case."

Captain Xiao Yuwei briefly talked about what Tian Ce had done.

Emperor Jianchang wished he could chop off Tian Ce's head immediately.

"I trusted him, but in return he enriched himself, embezzled and accepted bribes, like an ungrateful wolf. He withheld funds for the construction of the Jiangnan dike, causing a large number of people to lose their homes and their lives. He is a heinous criminal. I will exterminate all his clans."

Seeing that the emperor's eyes were red with anger and his breathing was unstable, Zhao Chong did not wait for Emperor Jianchang to object and quickly asked the imperial physician to see him.

The young disciple Zhao Kui took the opportunity to take the captain of the Xiaoyu Guard out of the imperial study.

"Please tell Chief Steward Zhao that the Xiaoyu Guard will provide all the evidence tomorrow regarding the matter His Majesty requested a thorough investigation. We hope he will speak well of it to His Majesty."

This captain of the Xiaoyu Guard was a slippery person. He was afraid that something might happen to the Emperor Jianchang's health. If it was investigated and blamed on him, it would be a big trouble.

When he met His Majesty this time, he was also deeply influenced by the instructions of his superiors. He said what he should say and did not say a word more than what he should not say.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would react so strongly to his words that he even summoned the imperial physician.

No, after capturing Tian Linwen, he should go back and report to the commander.

When Concubine Huo, who was in the cold palace, heard the news, she angrily cursed Tao Yuwei as a disaster star.
