Chapter 186 Yun Zheng is a good child

The emperor's tone was as cold as snow. "Qian Wei, you must turn over the Qian family's ten thousand acres of fertile land to the national treasury. I will allow you to keep five hundred acres as sacrificial land."

It is impossible for anyone to own such a large piece of land.

Yun Zheng didn't care. She didn't really want these ten thousand acres of fertile land. She had so many farms of her own.

But Qian Wei was heartbroken, as this was the Qian family's last resort.

Even though he knew it would displease the emperor, he still wanted to fight for it, maybe he would succeed.

"Your Majesty, please give the Qian family a chance to survive."

Without the ten thousand acres of fertile farmland, the fifteen farms, the eighteen shops, and the four hundred thousand taels of silver, the Qian family was stripped clean and became a mere shell.

All his years of hard work went to waste.

Li Wuyang said calmly, "All land under heaven belongs to the king. The emperor wants to take it back, do you dare to disobey his order?"

"Your Majesty, it seems I have a grudge against you."

"I dare not."

The emperor's expression turned grim. "It's decided. If I hear of any illegal activities by the Qian family again, I will punish them all."

Qian Wei was angry, annoyed and helpless. The capital was not good for him, so he wanted to go back to Jiangnan!

Jiangnan is his territory, where he can call the wind and rain and do whatever he wants.

Yun Zheng curled her lips. The emperor still wanted to save the Qian family. It seemed that as long as Old Madam Qian was alive, the Qian family would not fall.

Forget it, how long can Mrs. Qian live after suffering a stroke?

However, it is impossible for the Qian family to get away unscathed this time.

She still has a trick up her sleeve, hehe.

Qian Hui opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but when she thought of her grandmother's teachings, she swallowed the words back.

The emperor does not like women interfering in politics, and he does not like concubines seeking benefits for their own families. Just bear with it!

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

Li Wuyang looked over and said, "Qian Zhaoyi, what do you want to say?"

Yun Zheng's eyes widened in surprise. "Zhaoyi? Isn't that a talented person? It seems that Miss Qian is deeply favored by the Emperor. She is indeed a little wet nurse taught by a wet nurse."

Everyone: ...God damn this little wet nurse!

The emperor's lips twitched, and he couldn't bear to look at Qian Hui's face.

Just then, there was a noise outside.

The emperor was very displeased and ordered, "Go and see what the commotion is about."

The young eunuch hurried away and came back in a hurry after a while.

He looked terrified. "The Queen and the concubines are kneeling outside, saying..."

The emperor frowned slightly. What happened to those women? "What did they say?"

The young eunuch said tremblingly, "They say that the Qian family has committed a crime and has been imprisoned. Qian is no longer fit to be a concubine in the harem, so they requested that she be banished to the cold palace."

The Qian family father and daughter were horrified. Qian Hui's eyes reddened, and she looked delicate and helpless, "Your Majesty."

The emperor was a little annoyed, "Nonsense."

He walked out of the inner hall, and Yun Zheng immediately followed him out to join in the fun.

The Qian family's father and daughter looked at each other, both extremely anxious. How could this happen?

Led by the queen, the concubines in the palace knelt in front of the hall.

The emperor looked down at them and gently scolded them, "How can you behave like this? Hurry up and get up."

The Empress raised her head and said loudly, "Your Majesty, upon entering the palace, Qian was given the title of Zhaoyi and was the most favored of the six concubines. We, your servants, were very happy to have such a sister. It can be considered as a way to relieve our worries."

As soon as Qian Hui came in, she was favored exclusively and was allowed to sleep with the emperor for several days in a row. The original talented woman was changed to Zhaoyi, so she naturally became a thorn in the eyes of the concubines.

"But I heard that the Qian family had committed a crime. When I think about how it will damage the reputation of the emperor, I am extremely worried. I ask the emperor to banish the Qian family to the cold palace."

The imperial concubine and the queen have always been at odds, but they formed a united front in this matter.

She knew that the emperor had deep feelings for Old Madam Qian, and once Qian Hui entered the palace, these feelings would have a place to rest.

Maybe it’s not an unforgettable love, but who knows what will happen after a long time.

It is better to nip the danger in the bud early.

The Qian family is very ambitious, so we have to be on guard against them.

"Your Majesty, Qian's family has been convicted of crimes. The thought of calling the daughter of a convicted official a sister is like a thorn in my throat."

Concubine Shu also advised softly, "Your Majesty, Qian's behavior is not good enough to be a concubine. Please understand your majesty."

Qian Hui's face turned pale as she faced the huge pressure from the harem.

She had long known that it was not enough to just please the emperor in the palace, but she had never expected it to be so difficult.

The opponent either doesn't attack at all, or once he does, he makes her unable to recover.

Qian Wei was so anxious that he jumped up and down, shouting, "Your Majesty, the Qian family's affairs haven't been concluded yet, and the concubines are condemning the Qian family one after another. Aren't they too hasty? Does this count as collusion between the upper and lower levels?"

The Queen's eyes turned cold, "Master Qian, are you trying to interfere in the affairs of the harem?"

Qian Wei had finally sent his daughter to the palace, and was counting on her to bring the whole family along.

"I dare not, but I am speaking for my family. Three generations of my family have been loyal and devoted to His Majesty, doing their utmost to serve Him, yet I did not expect to end up like this."

The emperor frowned, feeling torn.

Yun Zheng looked at this and that. The Qian family's ambition was obvious. It was normal for the concubines in the harem to unite to deal with her.

Are they waiting for her to climb up and crush them?

Suddenly, she heard the Queen calling her name, "Princess Jinyun, I heard that you were attacked at the Qian family. Is this true?"

Yun Zheng nodded without hesitation, "Yes."

Yun Zheng immediately asked Nanny Li to pass the message to the harem and stab Qian Hui hard.

Want to blow pillow talk? Dream on!

The Queen and several others decided to take her life while she was sick.

While Qian Hui had just entered the palace and had not yet established her foothold, she cut off her retreat.

"Did the Emperor give you an explanation?"

Yun Zheng said without hesitation, "I don't ask for anything. As long as the emperor is happy, nothing else matters."

What does it mean to be able to speak? To be a good person? This is it!

The queen looked at her deeply. She played the tactic of retreating in order to advance very well.

Fortunately, she did not enter the harem, otherwise, who would be her opponent?

A smile appeared on the emperor's brows. Although Jinyun was noisy at ordinary times, she was considerate at critical moments.

The most precious thing is that she is loyal to me.

No matter how much I hate the Qian family, I would rather suffer injustice for the sake of my dignity.

You know, she is a person who will not tolerate any humiliation. If she has a grudge, she must avenge it on the spot without leaving it overnight.

Good, you are a good boy.

We must give her an explanation and not let her feel disappointed!

"After investigation, it was found that the assassin was Yongning's personal nanny. She was killed on the spot, and her entire family was executed."

"Yongning, you have been ordained as a monk, and you are now a layman. From now on, you are not allowed to leave Qingliang Temple."

This is confinement, with no freedom, and you will be trapped in a small temple for the rest of your life.

His one sentence determined the fate of countless people.

His eyes fell on Qian Wei and he remained silent.

Qian Wei's heart trembled violently, and he knelt on the ground involuntarily, "Please have mercy, Your Majesty."
