Wei Chengxuan had been in officialdom for most of his life, so he knew that the empress was trying to take advantage of the situation and show off.
With this Quyuanli around, he really couldn't do anything to Murong Yanran.
If he impeached Murong Yanran and got rid of her official position, I guess the people all over the world would not forgive him.
There is no need to try to stop a chariot with a mantis arm and fight against this overwhelming trend.
Thinking of this.
Wei Chengxuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to issue an imperial decree to reprimand Lord Murong and refrain from such disrespectful conduct again."
Yan Jiaoran swept her gaze over the other ministers and asked in a delicate voice, "What do you think?"
"I second the motion!"
The ministers were also very sensible.
"Since that's the case, and there's no objection, then let's return to the palace."
Yan Jiaoran said slowly.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute!" Wei Chengxuan stopped the empress.
Yan Jiaoran paused, turned around, and looked at him. Her gaze lingered on his neck for a long moment before she asked with interest, "What else is going on at Wei Qing's house?"
Wei Chengxuan met Yan Jiaoran's gaze without fear.
"Your Majesty, I impeach the Secretary Qin Yuan for his shameless behavior of publicly seducing Lord Murong. His crimes are too numerous to list!"
The others were also enlightened. How could they have forgotten this angle?
If I can’t touch me, I can’t touch you, my lover!
Anyway, the feud has already been formed, so just do whatever disgusting things you want.
"I second the motion. Qin Yuan, a married man, actually seduced an official appointed by the imperial court. This act is truly a disaster for the country and the people. He must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others!"
"I second this motion!"
“…”
Yan Jiaoran's mind shifted, and she shifted her gaze to Wei Chengxuan, questioning, "What does the Wei family think should be done to punish him?"
Wei Chengxuan said loudly: "Qin Yuan is not a faithful husband and should be castrated!"
Palace...Castration?
This trick is really vicious!
That bastard is going to kill you.
Yan Jiaoran's beautiful eyes turned cold.
"No, no, Your Majesty!" Ying Wuyong immediately retorted.
"Oh?" Yan Jiaoran turned her gaze to Ying Wuyong and said, "What do you think, Ying Aiqing?"
Ying Wuyong bowed and said, "I think that although Qin Sheren's actions are immoral, we can just dismiss him from his post."
"After all, he is the top scholar of the Great Zhou. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider this."
"Since you have asked for mercy, I will spare him."
Yan Jiaoran said slowly, "However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living punishment cannot be escaped."
"Qin Yuan, this bastard, actually dared to commit such a sinister act in broad daylight. Simply dismissing him from office is too easy for him."
"Considering that he is the son-in-law of a Ming Dynasty scholar and the top scholar in the Great Zhou, I suggest that he be taken to the Zongzheng Mansion, where he will be personally supervised and taught etiquette. Once he learns the ways of a husband, he can be released. What do you think, my dear ministers?"
Ying Wuyong replied, "Your Majesty is wise!"
"This move not only takes into account the merits and status of Qin Sheren and Ming Daxueshi, but also severely punishes Qin Sheren, demonstrating your majesty's virtue and the boundless grace of heaven. It is truly a good way to kill two birds with one stone."
Others also responded, "Your Majesty is wise and wise. We second the motion!"
"Go back to the palace." Yan Jiaoran said coldly with a cold look.
His face was filled with coldness, like a thousand-year-old ice sculpture.
But her heart was filled with joy.
The Zongzhengfu was located within the imperial city and was specifically used to punish royal relatives who had committed crimes.
This place has basically no value and no one would put their eyes there.
It can be said that this place is completely controlled by Yan Jiaoran.
Hehehe.
You bastard, you were just one step behind and finally fell into my hands.
When you get to the Zongzheng Mansion, I'll show you how I'll punish you.
Hahaha--
After a while, Yan Jiaoran came back to her senses and began to assign tasks: "Jinlian, take people to bring him into the palace, and invite his wife in as well."
"Here." Jinlian's figure flashed away.
Hehehehe.
You bastard, aren’t you trying to piss me off to death by being affectionate with Yanran?
Now, it's in my hands, let's see what you can do!
…
Imperial Palace.
Murong Yanran received the news and rushed in. Without paying attention to etiquette, she pushed the door open and asked, "Your Majesty, have you sent Jinlian to capture Qin Yuan?"
Yan Jiaoran was busy reviewing memorials. When she heard the voice, she glanced up and smiled, "What? Have you even forgotten the etiquette?"
Murong Yanran closed the door and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is all Yanran's fault. There is no need to lock Qin Yuan up in the Zongzheng Mansion, right?"
"Besides, whether it was the curved plow or the tax-paying system, it had nothing to do with Yanran, but it was all his credit."
Yan Jiaoran smiled sweetly, a hint of mischievous beauty on her lips, and said calmly, "Why, are you worried about him being locked up in the Zongzheng Mansion for discipline?"
Murong Yanran smiled and nodded, saying softly, "How could that be? Yanran is afraid that Your Majesty will scare Qin Yuan away and he will never be found again."
Yan Jiaoran raised her bright eyes, glanced at Murong Yanran, and said calmly, "Why? When you did this to that bastard in public, didn't you think about the consequences?"
Murong Yanran gently caressed her breasts, a blush appearing on her fair face. She whispered, "Your Majesty, he forced me to do this..."
"Oh, it takes two to clap!"
Yan Jiaoran said in a deep voice, her eyes were fierce and intimidating, like a sword on Murong Yanran's neck.
Murong Yanran looked normal. She glanced at Yan Jiaoran intentionally or unintentionally and said softly.
"Your Majesty, it's true..."
"Qin Yuan is a martial arts expert. How can Yan Ran, a weak woman,..."
"Isn't it just at his mercy..."
Yan Jiaoran snorted coldly, looking Murong Yanran up and down several times with a squint, then shook her head and shrugged, saying, "Since he forced me to do this, I must punish him."
"Don't let him get too carried away. Who knows, he might poke a hole in the Great Zhou Dynasty one day!"
Murong Yanran sighed, "Your Majesty, will I take my leave first?"
"Excuse me?" Yan Jiaoran raised her eyebrows. "You wish!"
"You shameless girl, you actually did such a thing in broad daylight. I punish you by making you review all these memorials!"
"You are not allowed to sleep until you finish reviewing it!"
"snort!"
After she finished speaking, Yan Jiaoran's pretty face was tense, as if she was a little annoyed.
Murong Yanran lowered her eyes and said gently, "Yanran, I understand."
After Murong Yanran sat down, Yan Jiaoran stood up, pinched her cheek, and said sternly: "You little girl, you are rebellious!"
Murong Yanran pursed her plump lips into a stubborn, miserable smile, and said pitifully, "Your Majesty, Yanran knows she was wrong..."
