Chapter 7 The County Magistrate's Eldest Daughter

On the other side,

Princess Yunyang's dress was accidentally soaked with tea, so she went into the inner room to change into a new dress.

Just then, a maid rushed in and said anxiously, "Princess, Miss Luo... she killed Miss Wang."

Yunyang: !!!

Luo Xi! Something happened to her?

Before the maid could finish speaking, Princess Yunyang hurriedly walked over there.

Princess Yunyang walked and thought.

This was a flower-viewing party she hosted.

If that person were to get into trouble at the flower-viewing party she was hosting, Rong Jin would definitely not let her off the hook.

After all, she was just his half-sister.

When Princess Yunyang arrived there, she saw that Luo Xi was still standing there unharmed, while someone else was injured. She breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Luo Xi isn't hurt, then everything is fine.

As for Wang Tingting?

Yunyang knew that Wang Tingting, as the daughter of the Prime Minister, had always been proud and arrogant, and she had long considered the position of Empress to be hers for the taking.

Perhaps she never imagined that her brother would marry the daughter of a county magistrate as his empress.

Yunyang felt that Wang Tingting must have said something to Luo Xi that made her angry, which was why Luo Xi took action.

Otherwise, Luo Xi doesn't even know her, so how could she possibly be so ruthless?

Yunyang glanced at Wang Tingting on the ground, then looked away and turned to Luo Xi, asking with concern, "Miss Luo, are you alright?"

Luo Xi shook her head. "It's nothing."

She pointed to Wang Tingting on the ground and said, "This person said that the position of Empress should have been hers."

She said I was a jinx to my mother, and that my mother died young because of me.

"She also said that if I became empress, my father would die."

"She said her father was the powerful prime minister, and there was no one he couldn't touch except the emperor."

She said that if I didn't believe her, I could try it.

“She threatened me. She threatened me with my father’s life. My mother is gone, and my father is my only family in this world. She actually threatened me with my father’s life. I was so angry that I did this.”

Many people believe in Luo Xi.

After all, these are words that sound like something Wang Tingting would say.

Many people here saw that it was Wang Tingting walking towards Luo Xi, not Luo Xi walking towards Wang Tingting.

Wang Tingting and Luo Xi weren't close, so what could they possibly have to say to each other?

It's all for the position of Empress.

Wang Tingting probably doesn't think they're stupid.

Did Wang Tingting think that her smiling and talking to Luo Xi meant that she was friendly to Luo Xi?

That's hilarious.

They are all daughters of noble families; who isn't smart? Why are they still trying to pull this stunt?

Originally, if it weren't for Luo Xi, Wang Tingting would have been the best candidate for Empress.

Now that Wang Tingting can't become empress, she's naturally unwilling to accept it. Therefore, it's quite possible that she would say such a thing.

Luo Xi was taking advantage of the fact that no one else knew what they were talking about. Now, Wang Tingting is dead.

Wang Tingting can say whatever she wants.

After all, who knows if she's telling the truth?

Yunyang believed in Luo Xi, and she dared not disbelieve her.

After all, Rong Jin had instructed her to protect Luo Xi and not let her get hurt or suffer any injustice.

Therefore, she directly placed all the blame on Wang Tingting.

Half an hour later,

Rong Jin learned what had happened at Princess Anyang's residence.

He hadn't expected that they would run into him before he even planned to deal with them.

The next day

When attending the morning court session,

Yesterday, Prime Minister Wang waited for a long time, but Rong Jin did not issue an order to punish Luo Xi.

Instead, I heard that the Emperor went to the Marquis of Anding's residence last night to appease Miss Luo.

Prime Minister Wang knelt directly in the center of the hall, requesting the Emperor to punish Luo Xi.

Prime Minister Wang said that Luo Xi had killed his daughter without cause, and that she was ruthless, cruel, unvirtuous, and unfit to be empress, and should be put to death.

Rong Jin: "Guards! Drag Prime Minister Wang away, tear him apart by five horses, and exterminate his entire family."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

And so, Prime Minister Wang was dragged away.

Everyone: !!!

The prime minister was executed? Did they continue speaking then?

Minister Liu stepped forward and said, thinking himself very clear-headed, "Your Majesty, Miss Luo's emotions seem extremely unstable. If she enters the palace, wouldn't the other concubines be in great danger? After all, Miss Luo is someone who can take action."

Lord Li echoed, "Your Majesty, Minister Liu is right. How can such a person manage the harem well, and how can he win the hearts of the people?"

Rong Jin frowned upon hearing this.

Other concubines?

"There will only be one empress in the harem, and no other concubines."

Everyone: !!!

What?! There's only one person in the harem? How can that be?

Many ministers naturally did not want this.

After all, this harmed their interests.

They all knelt on the ground, pleading, "Your Majesty, please reconsider!"

"Since ancient times, emperors have had harems with three thousand beauties."

Rong Jin:

It seems he has no choice but to make an example of them and, incidentally, get rid of these veteran officials.

"Guards, drag Minister Liu, Lord Li... and the others away, tear them apart by five horses, and exterminate their entire families."

"Anyone who pleads for mercy will be executed as well."

Everyone: !!!

This emperor is truly cruel.

For the sake of their lives, they dared not say anything more.
