Minister Wen had done something bad, how could his wife still be reasonable!
Hearing that, Hu Xiao’s face immediately darkened, this was the first time she saw such an unreasonable woman.
"Empress, you don’t need to look at me like that. My master was wrongly accused by you. What evidence do you have to casually drag him into the palace? He’s clean, so where did he go wrong?" Mrs Wen shouted loudly, and continued to speak.
She pointed at Hu Xiao’s nose with her finger, and the more she spoke, the more she went overboard, and directly pushed the blame onto Hu Xiao.
After she said those words, Hu Xiao was unwilling to accept it. This woman, with her eyes wide open, dared to speak nonsense in front of so many people.
"Shut up! The good deeds that the Minister Wen has done, you know it better than I do. What is going on now? Hu Xiao squinted her eyes and spoke unrestrainedly: "I’ll let you see who exactly is in charge here. Don’t think that Minister Wen is only a first grade minister, I won’t dare to touch his family members."
She was angry, and did not care who the other party was, she only knew that it was best to take the lead and subdue Mrs Wen first.
"How dare you!" Mrs Wen was so angry that her head hurt, and she said those words in front of the empress.
"Do you think I dare!?" Hu Xiao raised the corner of her mouth, her face revealing a cold smile, "Men, lock her in the prison, and wait for orders."
What a joke, where in the world did she, Hu Xiao, not dare to do it?
Seeing that Hu Xiao had solved the problem perfectly, Qin Shuo revealed a pleased smile on his face.
Above the main hall, Minister Wen and the rest were still kneeling on the ground. They were whispering to each other, secretly worrying about the safety of their families.
They were crying very loudly just now, but why did the empress turn mute the moment she left? They didn’t even hear the sound of the drum, much less the crying.
"Will anything happen to them? My heart is in turmoil." Vice Minister Chen said carefully, his heart thumping, afraid that something would happen to his family.
He had heard of Hu Xiao’s violent temper before, and whenever she could take action, Hu Xiao would never say it out loud. He thought, could it be that Madam was knocked out by Hu Xiao?
Imperial Censor Li, who was kneeling beside him, glared at him and spoke in a serious tone: "It’s not like they did anything, why would Empress make a move against her family? If she did, I will list her evil deeds and stick them on the city wall so that everyone in the city can see her true face."
Yin Fufeng circled around them. Naturally, Yin Fufeng heard their conversation and worries.
He cleared his throat, smiled, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, why must you all suffer? If the Empress does not have any evidence, would she dare to designate you as the masterminds? I’d like to advise you guys to hurry up and confess. Don’t waste your time here. "
Yin Fufeng leaned on the pillar on his side, a smile yet not a smile flickering in his eyes, this group of old antiques, their mouths were really hard, the Empress questioned Minister Wen at his residence for a long time, but Minister Wen did not even fart.
"Prime Minister, why are you forcing us to admit, just like the Empress, that we didn’t do it, that the Empress wronged us? No matter what, we won’t admit our guilt." The Minister Wen said righteously, as if this had nothing to do with him.
When the officials heard this, they all agreed. "Prime Minister, we’ve really never done anything like this before. How could we possibly be involved in any assassination? The prime minister and the empress overestimate us too much."
Yin Fufeng laughed out loud, then laughed, he placed the back of his hand under his chin and replied: "What you guys are saying is, I have wronged you guys, but Wen Chen did not participate in this, but a general?"
Yin Fufeng laughed sarcastically, a framing was a framing, and these people were all spouting nonsense in front of him.
The crowd did not dare to respond to his words. If they agreed, it would be equivalent to offending their colleagues. If not, how could they bear with it!
"Prime Minister, does the Empress want to take advantage of this opportunity to frame us?" Minister Wen’s gaze gradually became sharp. In addition to the sharpness, there was also a trace of grief. When Yin Fufeng saw this, he couldn’t help but cheer for him in his heart.
It was no wonder that he was able to get the position of the Minister.
On the side, when Xue Mier heard the news of Minister Wen being brought to the palace, she could not help but become flustered and exasperated.
"Where did they lock my cousin up?" asked angrily. Minister Wen was her cousin after all, and under circumstances where he did not have any evidence, he actually brought his into the palace.
"Empress, His Eminence and the other lords are currently in the great hall. The emperor is currently interrogating them." The servant girl said cautiously. After she found out about such an important matter, she did not dare to stay for even a moment longer and hurriedly came back to inform her master.
"Let’s go as well." Xue Mier was worried, afraid that the Emperor of Qin Shuo would punish Minister Wen, but she was more afraid that this matter would implicate her.
The Palace Servant was frightened out of her wits when she heard this. How could this be okay? The emperor was interrogating all the lords and imperial concubines.
But with Xue Mier being so angry, with her arm being so tight, how could Palace Servant persuade her?
The master and the servant had just arrived at the entrance to the main hall when they were stopped by a guard.
"Imperial Concubine, the emperor ordered that no one is allowed to enter." These words were said by Qin Shuo, the guard memorized every single word.
To compare her to some random person, how could Xue Mier not be angry after hearing her? Even a small guard looked down on her.
A flash of sorrow swept past her heart, but for the sake of face, Xue Mier did not care about anything, why was Hu Xiao able to enter, and why was she not able to enter?
Unfair!
She bit her lips and took a few steps forward. "Open your eyes wide and see clearly. This concubine isn’t just some random person. Get out of my way. Otherwise, don’t blame this concubine for being impolite. A bunch of bastards."
Xue Mier said sharply. With Minister Wen inside, she couldn’t care about anything.
Otherwise, when the family found out, they would say that she was no longer aware of the situation, and that she couldn’t even protect her cousin.
Hearing the voice outside, Yin Fufeng who was in the room smiled, and walked out quickly.
"Greetings, esteemed imperial concubine." Yin Fufeng bowed. Without waiting for Xue Mier to wake him up, Yin Fufeng straightened his waist first, "Empress, this is not the place for you."
Yin Fufeng said politely as he gestured for Xue Mier to leave.
Seeing that, Xue Mier became extremely angry. She asked with a cold expression: "Why can’t I come?"
She was always unconsciously comparing herself to Hu Xiao.
"Empress, you’d better not get involved in this matter. This matter is very complicated, so don’t anger yourself." Yin Fufeng sincerely advised.
