"Complicated? How complicated? This consort can’t do what the empress can? Which part of this concubine is worse than her? " Xue Mier’s heart was filled with anger, she naturally knew that she could not compare to Hu Xiao, but being pointed out on the spot, she had lost a lot of face.
Yin Fufeng stared at her for a good while, and instantly understood her thoughts. He turned his eyes around, and started to think about how he could persuade Xue Mier.
"Empress, this humble subject did not mean that. You and Empress both have your own strengths, so it can’t be said that you’re strong or weak. However, this matter was handled by the Empress, that’s why the Emperor allowed her to enter."
Yin Fufeng looked around, then lowered his voice and said carefully, "Empress, listen to this humble subject’s advice, don’t get involved in this matter, it definitely won’t be beneficial to you."
Hearing his words, Xue Mier was moved. She knew that if she were to get involved, it would inevitably bring disaster upon herself.
Just as she was about to leave, Hu Xiao appeared. From afar, Hu Xiao could see Xue Mier’s figure.
"Oh, Imperial Consort Xue, I thought I was wrong about you, I didn’t think that it would really be you!" Hu Xiao raised the corner of her lips, the ridicule on her face swept past, "You’re looking for Minister Wen?"
Without waiting for Xue Mier to reply, she sneered and continued, "Truly, the affection between brother and sister is deep, I can’t bear to see my cousin suffering."
Hu Xiao’s voice was full of ridicule, she thought, this Xue Mier really doesn’t have a brain, if she dares to meddle in this, she probably doesn’t know how to write the word death!
Because of the matter regarding Mrs Wen, she was filled with rage and was about to curse at Minister Wen.
So, at this moment, she could not be bothered with Xue Mier, "Let’s go, since you want to go in, let’s go in, let’s see how strong Minister Wen’s mouth is."
Hu Xiao laughed coldly. After she appeared, Xue Mier did not dare to say a single word. It was unknown if it was out of guilt or anger, but her face had flushed red and she did not dare to say a single word.
Upon entering, Hu Xiao saw the figure of the Minister Wen, and he became extremely angry.
Minister Wen did not seem to admit his mistake at all, he raised his head with an expression of "I have been wronged".
"If I don’t scold him a little, I’ll be furious." Hu Xiao gritted her teeth, and regardless of where she was, she directly said those words.
When Qin Shuo heard it, he immediately scolded Minister Wen. Minister Wen was an important subject in the court, if he was scolded by a woman in front of the court, who knows, maybe he would commit suicide after returning.
Qin Shuo hugged Hu Xiao into her arms, his thin lips whispering into her ear: "Xiao-Xiao, don’t be rash, let’s leave this place first, I have something to tell you." freewebnovel-cσ๓
At the moment, how could Hu Xiao listen to what she just said? She struggled and said: "We can talk about it later, I’ll settle the Minister Wen first, this guy really deserves to be scolded. Look at him, are you even human?"
Hu Xiao’s voice was loud, and everyone in the room had heard what she said. Minister Wen’s face instantly turned pale, this crude female South Yue was not courteous at all.
This made him angry!
"Xiaoxiao, let’s go first. We will settle the matters at Minister Wen later." Qin Shuo forcefully pulled her out, allowing Hu Xiao to object in his arms.
Qin Shuo brought Hu Xiao to Bedchamber, closed the door, and said in all seriousness: "Xiao-Xiao, you are too rash, this is not something that can be resolved by force, we have to take our time."
Without waiting for Hu Xiao to speak, Qin Shuo spoke first. However, Hu Xiao did not take his words to heart. Instead, he asked: "Qin Shuo, are you crazy? Why are you doing this? He is not willing to admit it, I will force him to admit it, I don’t believe it, his mouth is so hard."
Qin Shuo leaned on the door, afraid that Hu Xiao would rush out.
"Xiaoxiao, calm down. With Yin Fufeng there, are you afraid that you won’t be able to solve the problem? Have you forgotten his nickname?" Qin Shuo was extremely serious and started to talk sense to Hu Xiao.
It was a good thing that Hu Xiao was a reasonable woman, otherwise, like Qin Shuo, who carried her into the Bedchamber without any explanation, there might be another commotion.
He is called the Little Fox, and is the colleague of the ministers. I think the ministers can hear his words of persuasion, the ministers have already confessed, are you still afraid that the Minister Wen will not confess? Qin Shuo analyzed his own thoughts clearly, afraid that Hu Xiao would interrupt him.
Listening to him say that, Hu Xiao thought for a while, and felt that Qin Shuo had a point. If the ministers knew what he was talking about, they would definitely listen to his advice.
Her expression softened and she no longer blamed Qin Shuo.
"If I had said so earlier, I would have thought you were on their side." Hu Xiao’s face gradually had a smile, "Then let’s sit and wait for the little fox’s good news."
Inside the palace, as expected, Yin Fufeng used his status as a colleague to persuade the ministers to confess voluntarily.
"Everyone, we have known each other for such a long time. Have I harmed any of you?" Yin Fufeng simply sat on the ground, which was a stark contrast from his previous aloof appearance. He looked like he was trying to persuade a prodigal mother to turn back in time.
"Prime Minister Yin, no need to speak further. If there is nothing more, there is no more. We were wrongly accused. We do not know what insanity the Empress is thinking, but she suddenly said that I participated in the assassination attempt." The muscles on Minister Wen’s face twitched, his loud and clear voice revealed his lack of confidence.
Hearing that, Yin Fufeng shook his head, sighed, and said, "Minister Wen, why do you not understand? Why do you think the emperor left this place?
Hearing this, the official kneeling on the ground was a bit moved. This was an opportunity to reform. Could it be that the Emperor was already convinced that they were the ones who’d orchestrated this?
"Milords, the emperor isn’t a fool. If he isn’t completely confident, would he ask the Empress to bring you all to the palace?"
Yin Fufeng paused, his eyes flashed, and continued to speak, "All guilty, if you all had admitted to your wrongdoings better, the Emperor might have softened your attitude, and the punishment might have weakened a little. But, if you all didn’t admit your wrongs on your own, heh, in my opinion, the Emperor might even remove you guys from your official positions."
After he finished speaking, Yin Fufeng grinned, his pitch-black eyeballs rolled around, and revealed a cunning look.
Under his instigation, some officials finally admitted it. With the first one, there would be the second one, and Minister Wen would almost pass out from anger. This group of people, every one of them was reliable.
Minister Wen rubbed his aching chest and knew that everything was over. As the leader, he would definitely be punished more by the Emperor.
