"Your Highness...what did I do wrong?" Liang Zhu looked at Chu Younan in fear and trepidation.

Chu Younan was not so angry at this moment, and even raised the corners of his lips, "This king will give you a chance, tell the truth, what did you do, and who ordered you to do it. If you lie, don't blame this king for not considering your years of serving my mother!"

He suddenly turned his spearhead towards Liang Zhu, which puzzled Queen Mother Yao. "Regent, what does this have to do with Liang Zhu?"

Liang Zhu took the opportunity to say, "Queen Dowager, this is unfair! How could this old slave know what happened? If the prince wants to silence me, you can just kill me..."

"Ha!" Chu Younan sneered, "Is it easy to die? Come, take Liang Zhu to the Ministry of Punishment!"

When Liang Zhu heard the word "Ministry of Punishment", she collapsed.

He had been in the palace for many years and knew that place too well. Anyone who went in would be skinned alive. If they could come out alive, it would be a blessing from their ancestors.

Chu Younan turned his gaze to Chi Yu again, "How did you get into the palace? Tell me!"

Although Chi Yu was still dizzy, he knew that if he didn't say it now, he would die.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am the son of the Chi family, a rice merchant in the capital. I was suddenly knocked unconscious that day for some reason, and when I woke up, I was already in the purification room."

Liang Zhu was shaking like a sieve.

"I thought I was captured to be a eunuch," Chi Yu continued, "but I didn't expect that I was not cleansed at all, and then Eunuch Liang took me to the Cining Palace..."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Liang Zhu couldn't bear it any longer and shouted, "I saw that the Queen Mother was lonely in the deep palace, so I wanted to find someone to keep her company..."

Queen Mother Yao looked at him in astonishment.

Although she felt lonely in the deep palace, she dared not even think about such a thing that would damage her virtue as a woman! She hurriedly explained to Chu Younan, "Nan'er, the Queen Mother doesn't have such thoughts..."

"Don't panic, mother. Let them talk it out!" Chu Younan turned to Liang Zhu and said harshly, "You'd better tell me everything honestly, otherwise..."

He didn't finish his words, but his cold snort contained everything Liang Zhu feared.

Liang Zhu broke out in a cold sweat. "I was confused for a moment. I just wanted to find someone to accompany the Queen Mother. I didn't think too much about it... Please spare my life, Your Majesty, for the many years I have served the Queen Mother!"

He didn't say anything, but he was thinking: he was doomed to die, so he could only grit his teeth. As long as he didn't say anything, his "wife and children" could still be saved, and his Liang family would finally be able to continue to live on.

Chu Younan looked at Chi Yu again without any expression.

Chi Yu knew that this was his only chance of survival, so he hurriedly said, "Last night, when Eunuch Liang asked me to read to the Queen Mother, he gave me a bowl of sweet soup, saying that it would moisten my throat. But after I drank it, I felt hot all over my body not long after reading. I didn't dare to say anything, so I just endured it. As a result, I had a nosebleed..."

So that's what happened...

Liang Zhu was still secretly thankful that no one would be able to find out that Rui Niang from Renshou Palace was also drugged by him.

If Chu Younan didn't have the ability to read minds, this case would be very confusing.

But now, all he needed was a mastermind behind the scenes to figure it all out.

"Since you refuse to tell me, let's go to the Ministry of Punishment." He said in a deep voice.

In order to save the lives of his "wife and children", Liang Zhu gritted his teeth and prayed silently in his heart that the Emperor of Hell would save his life in consideration of the fact that he had passed on messages many times.

Chu Younan, the mastermind behind the scenes, also knew about it, but for someone like Liang Zhu, he still had to suffer some physical pain.

Liang Zhu was pulled down.

Chu Younan ordered people to carry Chi Yu away, and then looked at Queen Mother Yao, "How do you plan to deal with Chi Yu?"

"Send him back! Send him back!" Queen Mother Yao said firmly.

Although she looked resolute on the outside, she was actually very panicked inside.

She used to think Chi Yu was a eunuch, so she didn't take it seriously when he went in and out to change the water while bathing. But now that she knew the truth, she began to feel that something was wrong.

If he were released, it would be bad if he said something wrong. But after all, he hadn't done anything wrong and was kidnapped, so it wouldn't be appropriate to kill him.

Chu Younan thought so too.

He could only ask someone to send Chi Yu away and threaten him at the same time, telling him that this matter must not be spread outside.

These are all minor matters. The most urgent matter is how to deal with Bei Yanming. I don't know who else he has bribed, or what other plans he has made. Anyway, it is obvious that he has no good intentions.

Bei Yanming thought that the Cining Palace was in chaos at this moment. He should have been in a good mood at this moment, but the middle-aged woman guarding the door made him feel bad.

Mrs. Ruan seemed to be afraid that he would default on his debt, so she kept following him and was even waiting outside his door.

Bei Yanming really looked down on Ruan Ningxiang. Neither her appearance nor her figure met his aesthetic standards. Even if she was a maid, he couldn't eat because of the sight of her.

Mrs. Ruan outside the door was strolling back and forth, making him feel upset.

He walked over with a sullen face and suddenly opened the door, which scared Mrs. Ruan.

"I tell you again, I didn't flirt with your daughter! I will never be responsible for her!" he said ferociously.

Mrs. Ruan calmed down and said confidently, "She is still an unmarried girl. You hit her there. Now everyone knows about it. How can she get married in the future?"

"If you can't get married, you can become a monk!" Bei Yanming said coldly.

"She's a good girl, are you going to force her to death? No! I'm going to find the Queen Mother and let her make the decision on this matter!" Mrs. Ruan said, turning around and leaving.

Bei Yanming had made up his mind. Not to mention the Queen Mother, even if it was the dandy little emperor of Wu Kingdom, he would not listen! Two quarters later, someone came to inform him that the Emperor was hosting a banquet and invited him to attend.

Bei Yanming was a little surprised. The Wu Kingdom’s harem should be in chaos, so how could they still have time to hold a banquet?

When he arrived at the hall, he found that the situation seemed a little wrong.

Shouldn't the person sitting in the middle of the hall be the dandy little emperor? How could it be Chu Younan?

"Emperor Ming came just in time!" Chu Youyang, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile, "Today is my big day, and you just happened to be here to be a witness."

On a big day for an emperor, he should establish a queen, but didn't Chu Youyang already have a queen? Was he going to depose her? Bei Yanming was secretly happy. Anyway, his northern land was in chaos, and he wanted to mess up the Wu Kingdom as well, and then take advantage of the situation to make him not only the king of the northern land, but also the king of the world.

But Chu Youyang took Xue Jinrong's hand and stood up, "From today on, I will no longer be the emperor! The throne will be handed over to the regent!"

As he spoke, he happily took off the golden crown on his head.

Bei Yanming was stunned.

This dandy little emperor is easy to fool, but Chu Younan doesn't look so easy to deal with!
