"Shu'er!" Gu Jingyan hurriedly picked her up and carried her into the car.

Fortunately, he was prepared and brought the imperial physician with him.

The imperial physician quickly gave her acupuncture to calm her fluctuating emotions and the fetus in her womb.

Only after learning that Shu'er and the fetus were fine did he turn around.

Gu Jingyan stood in front of the carriage, his face ashen, his body shrouded in black aura, his robe fluttering in the wind, looking like the King of Hell...

Without further ado, he began to pronounce the verdict in a cold voice:

"All servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion who have oppressed the Xie family will be beaten to death!"

Hearing this, the people kneeling there were so frightened that they lost their souls and shouted, "Your Majesty, spare us! Your Majesty, spare us!"

Gu Jingyan seemed not to hear it, and after a moment's silence, he continued:

"Li Xiang's wife, Lady Liu, is vicious and has offended the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor's heir. She should be punished with fifty strokes of the cane. If she survives,

Order Prime Minister Li to divorce his wife immediately and move out of the Prime Minister's residence. No mistakes!"

Most people would faint after being beaten with the stick less than ten times. Even if Liu was cruel, she was a weak woman. After being beaten with the stick fifty times, she would be in great danger!

Even if you survive by chance, life will be difficult with your crippled body.

Perhaps, rather than just chopping off her head to give her a quick death, it would make Shu'er feel more at ease to see her dragging her broken body, being beaten with a stick, and then being divorced, falling completely from a high place into the abyss.

"Prime Minister Li was not a good steward, which led to unrest in the harem and offended the imperial concubine. He shall be severely punished with twenty strokes of the cane, demoted three levels, and fined one year's salary!" After all, Prime Minister Li is Shu'er's biological father. On the surface, he has not done anything worthy of death for the time being, so a light punishment shall be given first to see the effect.

But twenty strokes of the cane, for a weak scholar, was enough to kill him, at least half his life.

The eldest lady was so frightened when she heard that Li Shushu had chopped off a part of her arm for no reason and that no one would stand up for her. Not only that she would be beaten and divorced next.

With only half of her arm hanging, she crawled on the ground, crying out repeatedly, "No, Your Majesty, please take back your order. I am innocent!

Master, Master, please say something! You can't divorce me, please don't. Think about how much my family and I have sacrificed for you over the years to support your career.

If you divorce me now, how am I going to live? Wuuwuwu!!!"

Li Xiang rolled his eyes at her.

He could hardly protect himself at the moment. He knew that the emperor was furious. It was useless to say anything. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. How could he dare to speak?

I'm afraid if I continue to argue, I'll lose my head.

As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

As shrewd as he was, he could only kneel down farther away from Liu and endure it silently for the time being.

"Return to the palace." After Gu Jingyan issued these orders in a swift and decisive manner, he was unwilling to stay for a moment and led the team back to the palace quickly.

As for the punishment, there will be someone caring behind him to carry it out for him, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

…

In the Jade Palace, when Li Shushu woke up, she shouted "Little girl!"

Gu Jingyan, who was sitting beside the bed, heard the noise and quickly took her hand, comforting her softly: "Don't worry, Shu'er, this is in the Jade Palace, and your mother has been properly settled!"

Fortunately, he had thought it through beforehand and brought a royal physician with him, so nothing serious happened.

Otherwise, if anything happened to Shu'er and the child, he would regret it to death, and the Queen Mother would skin him alive. It was scary just thinking about it!

Li Shushu was not that worried, because she knew that since she had taken the fertility pill, it would generally be less likely for an accident to happen.

"I want to go see my little girl," she said as she stood up with difficulty.

"Okay." He supported her with a doting look on his face.

This girl's life story was so pitiful that the more he got to know her, the more he couldn't help but feel more pity for her!

If possible, he would be willing to meet any of her requests and wishes as long as he could get a smile from her.

Xie was brought into the palace on the pretext of taking care of Concubine Shu's pregnancy.

In this way, other concubines in the harem cannot find any fault with it. After all, who is to blame for their poor gestation?

She was placed in a side hall of the Jade Palace. The room was spacious and bright. The palace maids had already washed and dressed her, and the imperial physician had already examined and prescribed medicine for her. She had just drunk the medicine and was falling into a deep sleep.

I believe that it won't be long before her physical and mental condition improves accordingly.

At this moment, in Li Shushu's eyes, the young lady was obviously well taken care of.

She sat for a while, then left quietly. After quietly closing the door of her mother's room, she saw Gu Jingyan standing with his hands folded, waiting at the door.

She suddenly hugged him from behind and cried, "Thank you, thank you!"

This time, she didn't call him Your Highness. At this moment, in her heart, he was not only Your Highness, no longer the high and mighty emperor, but a man she could rely on.

Gu Jingyan turned around and hugged her in his arms, sighing softly, "Why thank me? This is what I should do. As long as Shu'er is happy, that's all that matters!"

She nodded vigorously: "I'm happy, I'm really happy."

Her tears wet the small pieces of his clothes on his chest and back, and they felt cold, but at this moment, his heart was extremely soft!

Being needed by the one he loves and being able to do something for her to the best of his ability gives him an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!

As for how to deal with the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gu Jingyan explained it in detail to Li Shushu.

Li Shushu naturally agreed.

Gu Jingyan is an emperor after all. He is born with the ability to reward and punish clearly, and he has a scale in his heart to influence his sentencing.

Obviously, according to normal criminal law, he would have been sentenced heavily this time!

Li Shushu had nothing to say, she just thought to herself: If Li Xiang and Liu Shi could completely stop this time, she might be able to let them survive for a while longer.

After all, her focus now is her mother and the fetus in her belly.

It’s really not worth it to spend too much energy on those people!

However, if they dare to continue to act recklessly in the future, she will definitely not let them have any chance!

Of course, based on her understanding of them, this group of people would definitely not be so easily subdued.

Well, let's wait and see how long they can keep doing this!
