After he finished listening, Lu Yin looked at her, frowned and said, "Hu Xiao, don’t be anxious, we have to discuss this carefully."
When had he ever seen such an impulsive person? Just as he finished listening to him, he was already in a rush to find the Minister Wen, not having the slightest time to spare.
However, Hu Xiao shook her head and said determinedly: "I will not let him off, he will not let me off, and I will not let him off either. Whether or not you are willing to talk about your matters, I can tell you this, do not try to stop me."
The Minister Wen was too infuriating. If he could endure it any longer, she would become a coward.
Lu Yin and Zhao Qiyan looked at each other, both of them seeing helplessness in the other’s eyes. They had no evidence, so even if they went, it would be useless.
However, because of Hu Xiao’s impetuous actions, they knew clearly in their hearts that the two of them could not persuade Hu Xiao against it.
Since Hu Xiao wanted to go, the two of them could just accompany her.
"Alright, we’ll go with you." Lu Yin frowned, accepting Hu Xiao’s thoughts.
Hu Xiao was walking in front. She led her men to break into Minister Wen’s residence, but they were stopped outside the door.
"How dare you!" Hu Xiao opened her eyes wide, she was extremely unhappy, "Open your dog eyes wide and see who this is!"
Hu Xiao spoke with quite the imposing tone, she immediately revealed her identity and glared at the guards who blocked her with cold eyes.
Before he could even react, he was violently pushed away by Hu Xiao.
"Scram! Who are you? How dare you stop me?!" Hu Xiao said rudely. She stepped through the door and the people behind her entered together.
"Old bastard, quickly get out here. I’m here to collect my debts." Hu Xiao’s personality was spicy, she did not care what others said, but in front of everyone, she had completely revealed her true nature.
Forget about the others, even Lu Yin and Zhao Qiyan, who had good relationships with her, had never seen her so angry before.
Minister Wen was alarmed, when he heard Hu Xiao’s voice, he came out to see, and his face immediately changed.
"Empress, what is the meaning of this? To trespass into a house?" The Minister Wen was full of energy and asked sternly.
This was his mansion, Hu Xiao had already brought someone in without his permission, if this were to spread, how could she continue with the civil and military affairs in front of the officials!
Hu Xiao laughed coldly, pointed at herself and said: "If I were to secretly barge into the house, then what are you doing? How did the girls who are taking the exam offend you?
After hearing that, Minister Wen’s face immediately turned white, he opened his turbid eyes wide and said angrily: "Empress, this humble subject respects you as the Empress, so I shall treat you with respect. Don’t take things too far, just based on your guesses, you think this humble subject will be convicted with a few words? According to what you have said, there should be no injustice in this world. "
The Minister Wen retorted, he firmly refused to admit his involvement in causing trouble for the girls, and continued to denounce Hu Xiao for having no evidence in her hands.
"I’ve never needed any bullshit evidence to do anything. Besides you, no one else dares to touch them, and no one dares to go against them. I want to seek justice for them and capture you." Hu Xiao had already decided in her heart that the Minister Wen was the mastermind behind this matter.
She was determined to not let the Minister Wen go.
Minister Wen was enraged by her. He had lived for so many years, but he had never seen such a tyrannical woman.
For people of the East Court, whoever saw him, they would be completely respectful to him, even the Emperor would give him face and give him thirty percent respect. But Hu Xiao was different, she only splashed dirty water on his body.
This made Minister Wen extremely angry!
At the side of the palace, Xue Mier’s mood was exactly the same as Minister Wen’s, surging forward. She walked around the room and anxiously told the palace maids to go out and find out more information.
"How is it? Is there any news?" Seeing the person that arrived, Xue Mier asked nervously as she rubbed her palms together.
The servant girl nodded again and again. Before she could take a breath, she said hurriedly, "Empress, that inn was on fire, and we were even attacked by assassins. Now that we have Imperial Army guarding that place, I still don’t know the exact situation."
Hearing this news, Xue Mier was both worried and happy. She was worried that this matter would get to her.
Just then, the sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Xue Mier frowned and sent people to take a look.
"What’s going on?" Without waiting for the servant girl to return, she went out by herself first. Her heart pounded when she saw so many people outside.
"Imperial Concubine, we have been ordered to search the Bedchamber of the Empress." The leading guard said respectfully.
Xue Mier was furious when she heard it. She opened her hands and said angrily: "No, this concubine is not allowed. No one can come in."
Xue Mier opened her eyes wide, in a daze she didn’t want the guards to step foot into her doorstep.
"Esteemed Empress, this humble servant is only following orders, don’t make it difficult for this humble servant." The guards looked troubled. With Xue Mier blocking in front of them, they couldn’t just barge in, right?
"This consort is pure and innocent. Why should I allow you to search? This consort tells you, no matter who orders you to come here, none of you should even think of coming here today." Xue Mier had steeled her heart to not let them come in and search through Bedchamber.
But if they were not allowed to search, they would not leave the place, under that helplessness, Xue Mier could only send people to invite Qin Shuo over.
"Hurry and return, we must ask the emperor to come over." Xue Mier said to the servant girl beside him with a gloomy face.
Then, Xue Mier turned her gaze towards the guards in front of him and said with a fake smile, "You guys can just stand there if you want to. If anyone dares to disobey this concubine, heh, take care of yourselves."
Behind her were the Xue Family and Wen Family. The guards didn’t dare to offend her!
Since they could not afford to offend both sides, they could only stand outside the door and wait for Qin Shuo to come over.
Not long later, Qin Shuo slowly walked over. Seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately frowned, and after asking about the situation, he turned his sharp gaze towards Xue Mier.
Xue Mier braced herself and said in a spoiled manner, "Your Majesty, it’s not like Chenqie sat in the wrong place. Chenqie would never agree to come here to search for chenqie’s Bedchamber for no reason at all."
As she spoke, she would occasionally peek at Qin Shuo from the corner of her eyes.
Qin Shuo took a step back, and tried his best to stay as far away from Xue Mier as possible. With a cold face, he berated: "For a dignified imperial concubine to block the Bedchamber’s entrance, you’re really too impolite. Since you didn’t do anything wrong, why aren’t you letting them search!"
Qin Shuo berated her, "Look at you, you don’t have the bearing and magnanimity a imperial concubine should have."
Hearing him say that, Xue Mier’s heart trembled slightly. She lowered her head and allowed Qin Shuo to berate her; she didn’t dare to refute him even once.
If it was Hu Xiao, she wouldn’t be so easy to talk to, she would have exploded already!
