The five ministers looked at each other and thought that they had a chance to survive, but they would have to take poison.
If you don’t eat, you will die!
If you eat it, you might live longer!
"Yes! I am willing!"
"I just like to eat some poison."
…
The five ministers scrambled to take the heart-breaking pill from the female official.
Swallowed it.
"Very good, your official positions remain in place."
"But, I'll fine you two years' salary and confiscate half of your property. Do you have any objections?"
Dugu Qingluo asked coldly.
"No, no."
"Even if all the family property is confiscated, we are willing to do so."
The five ministers shook their heads like rattles, not daring to have any other thoughts.
It would be a great blessing to be able to get out of prison alive.
Dugu Qingluo waved his hand, and the five ministers bowed and left. Ming Yichui came out from the back hall.
"Qingluo, you are really nice to these five people."
"By the way, the guards found information from the old princess's residence that she was colluding with the royal family of Dongli Kingdom."
"This rebellion may be supported by the Dongli royal family."
"This is the letter and token of collusion. They are all here."
Ming Yichui took out the things and gave them to Dugu Qingluo.
I can't believe that there are people from Dongli supporting this. I originally thought it was just an ordinary rebellion.
Dugu Qingluo looked at the token, which was a jade turtle.
She opened and read all the letters, a cold light flashing in her eyes, and immediately ordered: "Imprison the old princess in the sky prison!"
"Watch over it day and night, no one is allowed to get close!"
The personal guards went there quickly.
If the royal family of Dongli Kingdom knew that the old princess's rebellion had failed, they would definitely send someone to kill her to silence her.
Disassociate with the Kingdom of Dongli.
The most urgent task is to protect the old princess and not kill her for the time being.
Dugu Qingluo frowned, as one thing was not yet settled when another one arose.
She pondered for a moment and felt that the Kingdom of Dongli wanted to make the old princess a puppet emperor and take advantage of the situation to unknowingly incorporate the Kingdom of Dugu into the territory of Dongli.
In that case, let’s strike him back!
Dugu Qingluo knew that he was not a good person, and if he wanted to annex the Dugu Kingdom, he had to see if he had the appetite!
"Qing Luo, I won't leave until this matter is resolved."
"I'll always be here with you."
Ming Yichu made up his mind.
He was not at ease leaving the girl in front of him at this moment.
Dugu Qingluo opened her mouth to say something, but swallowed it back, so she could only continue to bother him.
The lights are coming on.
The city of Jialuo returned to its former peace and tranquility.
The two returned to the courtyard, where the housekeeper was busy taking care of Empress Dugu and her husband.
"Mother Queen, Father Queen, I am back."
"How are you two elders doing? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Dugu Qingluo stepped forward and knelt at their feet, with guilt in his eyes.
"Good boy, get up quickly."
"The Queen Mother and your father are now well."
"This is... Yichu, right? Good kids, sit down quickly."
After taking off her complicated phoenix robe, Empress Dugu was lying on the bed in plain clothes, looking gentle and kind.
"Hello, aunt and uncle."
Ming Yichu nodded politely and helped Dugu Qingluo up.
Dugu Qingluo's eyes were a little moist, "Father, how is your health?"
"The old lady and nine ministers conspired to rebel and have been imprisoned by my son, Yichu, and other ministers."
"Wait for the Queen Mother to return and punish the traitors."
"Good boy, there's nothing wrong with your father."
Zhengfu looked at his daughter lovingly and shed tears.
Empress Dugu sighed, "It's all my fault for not being able to see clearly. I was stabbed by my dearest sister."
"So Qingluo, don't have any psychological burden."
"If someone who accomplishes great things can't even handle something like this, then she won't be able to sit on the throne for long."
"Qingluo, do you understand?"
In an instant, her eyes became sharp again and she explained the reason.
Dugu Qingluo nodded, "Mother Queen, I understand."
Empress Dugu smiled softly, "Let's not talk about this anymore."
"Qingluo, why don't you introduce me to your father and mother? How long do you plan to keep this a secret from my mother?"
She looked at Ming Yichui and nodded with satisfaction.
She has a top-notch appearance, is tall, and has a stern, imposing demeanor. She may appear a bit cold, but her years of judging people are correct; at heart she is an honest and kind person.
She and Qing Luo are a perfect match!
I just don’t know if you are willing to marry me and be my legal husband?
Dugu Qingluo glanced at Ming Yichu, who stepped forward with a smile, "Hello, aunt and uncle."
"My name is Ming Yichu. I live in Beichen Country. My father is an official, my mother is a merchant, and I have three younger brothers and two younger sisters."
"I learned Taoism from my master when I was young, so I know some basic skills."
"It is my honor to know Qing Luo."
He introduced himself.
The family's immense power and wealth are an understatement.
After hearing this, Dugu Qingluo covered his lips and smiled for some reason.
Empress Dugu and her husband were even more satisfied!
No wonder, when they woke up in the morning, there was a living log moving in the room, which scared them both.
It turns out that the future son-in-law knows magic.
"Aunt and uncle, this is a small gift from my juniors, please accept it."
Ming Yichu took out two bottles of five strengthening pills each and presented them to him.
Empress Dugu confiscated it. How could an elder accept a gift from a younger generation?
"Yichu, please take it back."
"It's just that the incident happened suddenly, and I don't have anything to give you. I will give it to you after we return to the palace."
Empress Dugu said with a smile.
