Three days later, Xuanyuan Che finally found out about the prime minister's corruption and bribery, and obtained substantial evidence, ready to punish him in court.
Zhou Shun spoke at the perfect moment: "Your Majesty, what about the noble lady Zhang?"
Xuanyuan Che was playing with the sachet Tang Wan had made for him a few days ago, and he said casually, "How can you call me a noble man when I'm just a commoner? I'll just be torn into pieces by five horses and thrown into a mass grave to feed the dogs."
Zhou Shun knew that the emperor was ruthless, so he did not show too much surprise. He just said, "Yes, I obey your order." Then he planned to turn around and deal with the matter.
"Wait." Xuanyuan Che raised his hand to stop him.
"Your Majesty, do you have any further instructions?"
"I heard that she even asked Wanwan's former unfaithful fiancé to tarnish her reputation, right?"
"It seems... that's indeed the case."
"Bring that man here. Wanwan will torture him to her heart's content and then kill him."
"Yes, yes."
Xuanyuan Che felt nothing in his heart. He was not a good person to begin with, and what was more, he could not swallow this insult when one of these two people wanted to hurt his child and the other wanted to hurt his beloved wife.
He was the tyrant Xuanyuan Che. Logically speaking, his death would be a relief for them.
"Dress up and meet my lover..." The long and gentle female voice, gentle and shrill, echoed in the empty room, making people tremble in their hearts.
The woman was combing her withered hair in front of the mirror. She was so thin that she looked like she could be blown down by a gust of wind. She painted herself with bright red rouge, which made her look even more eerie with her pale face.
She was wearing a red dress and looked so skinny and terrifying, like a ghost crawling out of hell.
Looking closely, it was none other than Concubine Zhang who had been under house arrest for many days. No, now she should be called Commoner Zhang.
"Squeak~" The dark red door opened, and the woman's eyes sparkled with surprise. After seeing that it was Zhou Shun, her face quickly darkened and she shouted sternly, "Why are you here? Where's His Majesty? Why didn't His Majesty come?!"
Zhou Shun did not answer her hysterical words, but just asked someone to take her away. Concubine Zhang thought they were here to take her away, so she hurriedly picked up a silver hairpin from the table and inserted it into her messy hair.
She murmured to herself, "His Majesty likes me most when I am beautiful. I knew he wouldn't be angry with me forever." As she spoke, she giggled. The laughter was extremely piercing, sharp and high-pitched.
Even though her mouth was covered, her laughter still came out from between the eunuch's fingers.
She was soon taken to the jail. Zhou Shun looked down at her. She rushed up to him like a madman and wanted to hit him, but was stopped by the people around him.
Zhang Shuren screamed at him, "I am His Majesty's most beloved concubine. You can't bring me to such a dirty place.
When she was in favor in her early years, Zhou Shun had suffered a lot from her, so naturally he didn't have a good face for her at this moment: "You still think you are the queen. His Majesty is wise and has already ordered you, the vicious woman, to be demoted to a commoner.
"Impossible. This is impossible. I am His Majesty's most beloved concubine. His Majesty would never treat me like this. His Majesty would never treat me like this!!!!!" Tears welled up in her sunken eyes, as if she would burst into tears in the next second.
Zhou Shun snorted coldly, "You must have remembered it wrongly. His Majesty's most beloved person is naturally the noble Concubine Chen. How can a lowly creature like you be compared to her?"
Zhang slumped to the ground in a daze. After a while, as if she remembered something, she screamed loudly, "Where's my father? Where is my father? I tell you, my father is the Prime Minister. If you dare to touch me, my father will never let you go!!!"
Zhou Shun sneered disdainfully, "Zhang, your father, the Prime Minister, is about to be thrown into prison just like you. Soon, you and your daughter, no, your whole family, will be reunited."
"I don't believe it. Let me out. I want to see the emperor."
"Your Majesty, you are a royal family, not someone you can see whenever you want. This is evidence of your father's corruption. Take a good look at it yourself. I'm sure you won't have the chance to see it again in the future."
Zhang looked at the dense list of charges and became so angry that she vomited blood. Finally, she could not bear it anymore and fainted.
…………
"Wanwan, look who this is?"
Xuanyuan Che released the hand that was covering her eyes. Tang Wan had a smile on her face, but after seeing who it was, her expression immediately turned cold, and overwhelming hatred instantly filled her heart.
Her eyelashes trembled as she looked at the man lying on the ground crying bitterly. A strong feeling of nausea surged into her heart. She covered her mouth and retched.
Xuanyuan Che thought she felt uncomfortable just seeing this man, so he immediately ordered, "Come here, drag this man away and execute him immediately."
"Your Majesty, wait a minute." Tang Wan was so anxious that she didn't even bother to vomit and quickly grabbed his wrist.
Xuanyuan Che looked at her with confusion: "Wanwan doesn't hate him? Wouldn't it be easier to kill him?"
Of course she knew that killing him would save trouble, but she hated him so much that she didn't want him to die so easily. That would be too easy for him.
She said softly, "Your Majesty, this is a human life after all, so why not let me handle it."
Although Xuanyuan Che thought she was too kind, he still nodded in agreement. As long as Wanwan was happy, "Well, if Wanwan doesn't like him, just kill him directly."
Tang Wan smiled and said nothing. He Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, thought that she had softened her heart and was reluctant to kill him.
While I was afraid, I also felt a little proud. This is how women were in ancient times. Even if I married her sister, she would still be obsessed with me.
