Now that Yu Zhu's identity has been ascertained, he can be dragged out and beheaded.
Fu Sang shook his head and said, "Keeping him alive is still useful for now. Has the imperial physician developed an antidote?"
"The imperial physicians have already developed the antidote formula and will soon have pills made and sent over."
Fu Sang responded faintly, walked to the window, opened it, and looked outside.
Has anything happened in the court these past few days?
Lianxiang thought for a moment and said, "No."
Fu Sang placed his hand on the window frame, gazing at the distant palace.
The rules for the harem have been established, and the little darling will oversee their management. Now it's time to move on to the imperial court.
"Inform the court officials that I will be attending court tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The courtiers were surprised that the Empress had come to court.
After all, the empress was obsessed with sensual pleasures and never managed state affairs; the queen handled all the matters.
Unexpectedly, the Empress actually wanted to attend court, but what could a clueless 'good-for-nothing' like her do?
The courtiers assumed that Fu Sang had come to put on an act.
Fu Sang met Jiang Linxian on his way to court.
Since the original owner did not attend court, the Empress took her place and held court every morning. Like a regent, a screen was placed to block the view, and tables and chairs were set up not far from the dragon throne.
Fu Sang greeted him with a smile: "Good morning."
Jiang Linxian was also surprised to learn that she was going to court, and nodded slightly: "Your Majesty."
The courtiers were already waiting inside the main hall.
Jiang Linxian stepped behind the screen and sat down, while Fu Sang went to the dragon throne, sat down with graceful bearing, and placed his hands in front of him.
The ministers' gazes fell upon the Empress's face.
The imperial family had a good foundation; even though the empress had a bad reputation, her appearance was still exceptionally attractive.
How could an empress with such a beautiful appearance who only indulges in decadent music understand the reports from her ministers even if she came to court?
Fu Sang looked to the side.
The little darling sat upright and elegantly, staring straight ahead without moving.
A young man as gentle as a breeze and as bright as the moon is truly a delight to behold.
Seemingly noticing her scrutinizing gaze, the handsome young man turned his head slightly and whispered, "Your Majesty."
Fu Sang discreetly withdrew his gaze and looked at the ministers in the court.
The ministers began to discuss the matter.
How should the flooding in the county towns of the southwest be handled? Who should be sent? And how much silver should be allocated?
After listening for a while, Fu Sang said in a deep voice, "According to what the ministers have said, the floods in the county towns of the southwest have not only not been controlled, but have become even more serious?"
The ministers fell silent for a moment, then all looked up at the Empress.
A senior minister stepped forward, cupped his hands, and named someone.
Fu Sang frowned slightly, his tone stern, and said, "I know that Vice Minister Yang is your niece, but some time ago, I heard that she caused trouble in the capital."
He tried to forcibly take the young master of the Liu family, but instead had his head broken.
"I remember that Vice Minister Yang was punished by the Empress Dowager for losing treasury silver."
"What? The missing treasury silver has been recovered?"
Upon hearing these words, the old minister lost face and immediately showed a look of shame.
The Empress, who had never cared about politics, was surprisingly knowledgeable about matters in the capital.
The whereabouts of the treasury silver have not yet been found, which makes people wonder whether it was actually lost or whether the ministers embezzled it.
If such a person is sent to provide disaster relief, the treasury funds will likely be lost again, and a minister lacking in virtue will not be respected or loved by the people.
Fu Sang's exquisite features exuded the majesty of a superior, and his imperial aura suppressed the assembled officials.
The hall was completely silent, and cold sweat broke out on the ministers' backs.
Finally, Jiang Linxian broke the silence.
