Chapter 362: Becoming the Future Queen Mother of Nanxin
In an instant, the atmosphere of the entire cheerful banquet suddenly became solemn.
Emperor Nan Xin also ordered Eunuch Cai to remove the dancing and music. The entire palace was in complete silence, and one could hear a pin drop.
"Prince Changle, Princess Dongji, we two grandparents just want to change our clothes. What are you doing?"
"You're letting General Nangong hold a knife and want to attack us?"
"Don't forget, I am the eldest princess, your great-aunt, Prince Changle."
The eldest princess' aura is always so strong.
Her arrogance as the eldest princess has not diminished at all.
Deng Youning didn't say anything, just looked at her quietly, wondering how long she could remain arrogant.
Li Tianzhuo smiled with a fake smile and asked seriously, "Grandma, I don't understand. If the emperor breaks the law, should he be punished the same as the common people?"
The eldest princess didn't know why Li Tianzhuo suddenly asked this.
But she felt guilty and cold sweat had already started to appear on her forehead.
My right eyelid was twitching, and I felt that something catastrophic was going to befall me tonight.
"Naturally!"
With so many people looking at her, she could only pretend to be calm and was forced to answer Li Tianzhuo.
Li Tianzhuo smiled with satisfaction and turned to look at the ministers.
"Did everyone hear that?"
"My great-aunt said that if the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people!"
The ministers didn't know what he was going to do and no one dared to respond.
As a result, she changed her expression the next second and ordered Nangong:
"The princess ordered the Dali Temple Minister, the Ministry of Revenue Minister, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the General of the Northern Expedition, and nearly twenty other family members to take the highly toxic colorful flower, fake skin ulcers from wearing poisonous cloth, and put the blame on Han Xinxin, the daughter of the Dongji Han family."
"He also colluded with the envoys from Xilei to plot the murder of Xilei Princess Jiaxiang, and killed the envoys from Xilei to silence them."
"In order to prevent Lord Jiang, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, from following me and Princess Dongji in investigating the case, I killed his family as a threat."
"They even openly kidnapped Miss Han and tortured her to extract a confession."
Li Tianzhuo listed the eldest princess' crimes one by one.
"Father, please be wise. I have evidence for all of the above."
"Prince Yi also took Divine Doctor Nie to the residence of the Dali Temple Minister and others to check the pulses of the female relatives who were poisoned and confirmed that they had consumed the poison of the colorful flower."
"Your Highness, the poison in Fang Yiluo was indeed given by me. But if you don't recognize this poison, how do you know it was stained on the fabric? It is obviously colorless and odorless!"
"Do you have anything to explain?"
Li Tianzhuo used his height to suppress her and stared at the eldest princess.
The eldest princess was shocked, it turned out that they had been secretly investigating her for a long time.
"What kind of evidence is this? I refuse to accept it!"
Li Tianzhuo chuckled smugly, "In fact, I don't have much evidence in my hands, but the Dali Temple Minister, the Ministry of Revenue Minister, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, the General of the Northern Expedition, and nearly twenty other important officials should have evidence."
He pulled out a list of names from his bosom. These people were all those whose female family members had been poisoned.
They all happen to be here in the temple today, so let’s bear witness together!
"I'm going to give you a chance to the twenty or so people whose names I just read out. If you can honestly give up the person behind the scenes, I'll guarantee that your families will be safe."
"I am not really the King of Hell. I will just take your life."
"If you refuse to confess, I will have no choice but to raid your homes and confiscate all your property, and put it all into the national treasury."
At his command, more than twenty people, led by the Chief Justice, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and the General Who Conquers the North, all stepped out in unison, knelt down and begged for mercy.
Seeing this situation, is there anything else you don’t understand?
Li Tianzhuo raised his eyebrows and looked at the eldest princess.
She is on the verge of collapse, at the end of her strength.
Fang Yiluo was also extremely disappointed with her grandmother. "Grandma, how could you let the wives of these ministers take poison? They are still human lives after all. What if they really die?"
The eldest princess's emotions have completely broken down.
But everyone in the world can blame her and say she is wrong, except Fang Yiluo.
She angrily slapped her beloved granddaughter.
"Is this palace vicious?"
"Who am I doing this for? Isn't it for you?"
"In order to squeeze out Deng Youning, and to make you the Princess of Changle, the future queen mother of Nanxin."
She yelled.
She had completely lost the dignity of an older princess, and what was left was just a crazy woman.
Fang Yiluo shed tears and shook her head in disappointment.
"No, you are not doing this for me. You are doing this for your own dream of becoming an emperor."
"If you really care about me, you should help me get married to Dai Shichiro. We are childhood sweethearts."
"Instead of forcing me to add a King Changle who has never looked at me straight in the eye!"
Fang Yiluo also collapsed and screamed.
Fortunately, Prince Changle took advantage of her, otherwise if she had really married him, her life would have been ruined!
All the princess' deeds were exposed, and she laughed crazily towards the sky.
All of her followers had desperate looks on their faces, and they only hoped that King Changle would keep his promise and release their families.
"Come here, put the princess in jail and execute her on a certain day."
"The Princess's residence was confiscated, and all of her descendants and family members were demoted to commoners and will never be employed again."
Emperor Nan Xin didn't want to see them making trouble anymore, so he ordered everyone to be taken away.
In addition to those twenty-odd people, the eldest princess also has other followers, among whom Li Tianzhuo and Prince Yi are also in the process of purging them.
With the fall of an elder princess, half of Nan Xin's official positions in the court became vacant.
It seems that the imperial examination will be held earlier.
Li Tianzhuo and his colleagues have discussed with Emperor Nan Xin and plan to hold an imperial examination every year in the future to recruit a large number of students from poor families.
It would be best if everyone could have the same talent as Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu's adoptive mother died unjustly, but the emperor showed special mercy and conferred an imperial decree on her mother.
After two months of peace, Nanxin entered the hot summer.
A new batch of fabrics for the Han family was also shipped from Dongji.
Han Xinxin and Jiang Yuhe opened a three-story Xiangrongfang, and today is their opening day.
Deng Youning, Li Tianzhuo and others were outside helping to take care of the business.
Prince Changle and Princess Dongji personally attended the event, which attracted a constant stream of guests to the store.
On the first day of opening, business was extremely good.
If this continues, the newly arrived batch of goods will be gone in a few days.
Han Xinxin thought that since she already had the skills to weave cloth, she might as well open a processing factory and hire more unemployed women in Nanxin to weave cloth.
Of course, Jiang Yu can do the same.
Hire more people to make clothes and spread his tailoring skills.
Today, the store also welcomed a regular customer, Fang Yiluo.
After the princess's mansion was gone, she settled her family and returned to Yuncheng.
This time, she is ready to pursue love bravely and marry Dai Jia Qilang.
She planned to use the fabric for her wedding dress from Xiangrongfang.
I don't ask them to forgive me, I just want to express my apologies to them.
"So, will you buy me cloth?" Fang Yiluo asked cautiously and tentatively.
Han Xinxin smiled generously and stuffed the cloth into her hands.
"We will sell to anyone who comes to buy sincerely."
Jiang Yu said inappropriately: "I hope you've finished wearing it this time and don't get sick again!"
Fang Yiluo apologized repeatedly, and only when Jiang Yu said that he was joking did she calm down.
