Especially now that the Qin family is involved in Shen Yuanan's palace coup, the entire family has been imprisoned in the imperial prison awaiting trial.

The ministers' opposition grew louder, but Shen Ziyu was still a fox with a lot of say.

He ignored the opposition and insisted on making Qin Yanning the queen. He even issued an edict to never hold a beauty contest in his lifetime.

For a time, all the women in Daxia regarded Qin Yanning as their role model.

After the coronation ceremony, Qin Yanning went to the imperial prison.

In fact, the Qin family did not participate in the palace coup, and Shen Yuanan looked down on the usefulness of a Minister of Works.

The reason why several members of the Qin family were thrown into jail was because of Yan Xun's death and the fact that Zhou Xue and Qin Yurou colluded with bandits to kidnap the original owner.

The intention to rebel was just an excuse to the outside world.

In the imperial prison, Qin Hongan was tied to a chair with torture instruments hanging behind him.

Seeing Qin Yanning come in, a hint of joy flashed across Qin Hongan's pale face.

"Ning'er, you're here to save Dad, right? Tell the prince, no, tell His Majesty, that Dad is not rebelling!"

Qin Yanning laughed, "Father, why don't you call me a rebellious daughter now?"

"When you forced me to be your concubine, when you made my mother take bleeding medicine for so long, did you ever think that this day would come?"

Qin Hongan was stunned. "How do you know your mother? It's Meng Zhaozhao! You sent her to get to know her!"

"Father wasn't that stupid. Mother's death was strange. I thought it might have been done by my grandmother, and I also thought it might have been done by Zhou Xue. But I never imagined that it was her bedmate who killed her!"

"Have you ever had a clear conscience after all these years, Qin Hongan?"

Qin Hongan said in panic: "Ning'er, listen to Dad's explanation."

Qin Yanning clapped his hands, and the jailer brought him a bowl of black medicine.
