Helian Jue's investigation was not a big deal. Not only did he find out about the many beastly things Wan Bao had done in the past, he also found out about the private relationship between Prime Minister Wan and King Liang.
Most of the ministers in the court who advised the king to enthrone the youngest son of King Liang were introduced to King Liang by Prime Minister Wan.
Helian Jue was the emperor, so how could he not understand the key point?
Concubine Wan now has the highest position in the harem. If she wishes to have a child, no matter who the pregnant concubine is, Concubine Wan will keep the child in her hands.
If he never had any offspring, then when he died one day, the Liang Wang faction would still take his enthronement into consideration and ensure that his family would be wealthy and prosperous.
Prime Minister Wan thought that with these plans, he could attack or defend? He was dreaming!
Helian Jue thought that perhaps he had been too amiable in the court over the past ten years, causing them to forget his former ruthless methods.
Ever since Wan Bao and the housekeeper Wan, who knew the whole story, drugged Qin Yanning while inspecting the fields, they had been locked up in the palace dungeon by Helian Jue for several days.
The Wan family only knew that their precious child had angered the emperor, but they had no idea what he had done wrong.
In the days since he returned to the palace after inspecting the fields, Prime Minister Wan and Concubine Wan had both come to him to plead for mercy. However, in order to keep his promise to Qin Yanning to personally punish Wan Bao, Helian Jue never gave in.
According to Helian Jue's intention, Wan Bao should be executed directly.
Wan Bao has touched many decent girls over the years, and he did not even let go of some married women. He would either use money to seduce their husbands, or beat them to death or cripple them, and then take their wives away.
It is absolutely not a pity for Wanbao to die.
Helian Jue didn't know how Qin Yanning was going to punish Wan Bao, but he made a secret decision in his heart.
If the punishment given to the young lady was too light, he would still have the secret guards use all kinds of punishments on Wanbao and then kill him.
Helian Jue made this decision not only to vent Qin Yanning's anger, but also to warn the Wan family that he was the real emperor, and more importantly, to seek justice for those who were killed by Wan Bao.
It was his negligence that caused such a mess. He allowed Wanbao to commit so many crimes in the capital, right under his nose, and still get away with it.
Qin Yanning had no idea how big a stir his small trick would cause in the previous dynasty.
She was now enjoying Songxue's massage service. While massaging her, Songxue recited to Qin Yanning the story of Helian Jue's rage in the court today.
When Qin Yanning heard Songxue say that Helian Jue was granted the title of Minister of Rites and retired to his hometown, he sighed inwardly.
The inability to have children is the most unspeakable pain in a man's heart, and even Helian Jue is no exception.
These ministers are also men, why do they want to rub salt into Helian Jue's wounds?
In the original owner's memory, the reason why Helian Jue canonized the youngest son of Prince Liang a year later was simply because the Queen Mother was about to die, and he was looking for an excuse to celebrate.
How could a man who could fight his way to the top among eleven princes tolerate being threatened by a few ministers?
But it doesn't matter. Helian Jue has her now, and she will soon be able to help Helian Jue solve his current predicament.
Qin Yanning subconsciously placed his hand on his lower abdomen with a smile on his face.
Songxue was stunned for a moment. How could there be such a beautiful person like Lady Ning in the world?
She must take good care of Lady Ning and make her happy every day! Song Xue made a secret decision in her heart.
Song Yue, who was serving on the side, saw Song Xue in a daze and tapped her head lightly. Song Xue then came to her senses and continued to massage Qin Yanning.
Qin Yanning didn't take the little tricks between the two palace maids to heart, and stuffed two golden melon seeds into each of them.
Helian Jue asked Eunuch Wang to give these golden melon seeds to Qin Yanning so that she could use them as rewards for her subordinates.
Song Yue was also happy when she saw Qin Yanning. A second-class maidservant had just died in Concubine Wan's household, and she was originally going to replace her. It was her good luck that she was chosen by Eunuch Wang to follow Concubine Ning.
In her heart, Lady Ning was kind-hearted and a much better master than Concubine Wan.
Qin Yanning waited in Tingyuxuan in boredom until it was completely dark. Then the eunuch from the Yangxin Palace came to tell him that Helian Jue had finished reviewing the memorials and returned to his bedroom to bathe, change into casual clothes and come back.
Qin Yanning then sat up from the couch and ordered Songyue to go to the imperial kitchen to serve the meal. He also asked the people in the small kitchen to bring up the hanging pot, meat slices and vegetables she had ordered.
She was worried that Helian Jue would not eat hot pot, so she made two preparations.
With the blessing of Chu Gongyao, she won't gain weight no matter how much she eats now, so of course she has to indulge herself.
As soon as the small hanging pot was set up, Helian Jue arrived at Tingyuxuan.
Qin Yanning held her face and stared at the small hanging pot in a daze. Helian Jue wanted to tease her, so he deliberately didn't let Songyue and Songxue pass on the message and tiptoed to Qin Yanning.
Qin Yanning looked up suddenly and saw Helian Jue. He didn't know if it was because he had returned to the palace. Although the man in front of him was still wearing casual clothes, Qin Yanning felt that he looked very majestic.
Qin Yanning said angrily, "Your Majesty, Ning'er is timid, and you are deliberately scaring Ning'er."
Songyue and Songxue had helped Qin Yanning take a bath in the evening. She was now wearing the light blue brocade flowered coat that Helian Jue had given her, and a strapless long skirt of the same color.
The gorgeous clothes make her even more stunning.
Nineteen-year-old Qin Yanning was as beautiful as a flower. Under the candlelight, her every move was particularly charming.
Helian Jue could no longer control his thoughts and stepped forward to hug Qin Yanning.
Seeing this, Songyue quickly pulled Songxue back. The two of them waited outside the door for their masters to give them a message before going in to serve them.
Qin Yanning was suddenly hugged by Helian Jue, and she felt her whole body stiffen. Then she relaxed and leaned in Helian Jue's arms.
Even if Helian Jue behaved well in the past, he was still a man after all. Is there any man in this world who is not lustful?
Qin Yanning knew that what he had to do now was to gain Helian Jue's supreme favor in order to fulfill the original owner's wish.
"Your Majesty, we haven't had our meal yet." Qin Yanning whispered in Helian Jue's ear.
As he spoke, Helian Jue felt his ears tickled by the young lady's breath. He glanced at the dinner on the round table and said, "It's okay."
Helian Jue picked up Qin Yanning by the waist and carried her into the inner room, carefully putting her on the bed. What he wanted to eat at the moment was not the mediocre dishes in the imperial kitchen.
Helian Jue looked at the shy Qin Yanning. What he wanted to eat now was something else.
Qin Yanning looked at Helian Jue, whose eyes were filled with lust, put his arms around his neck and kissed him.
Since she has entered the palace, she must serve the emperor in bed. She can't just say that she is pregnant as soon as she arrives.
Qin Yanning had asked A Lian a long time ago, and she knew that with the blessing of the amulet, as long as she didn't go too far, it would not have any impact on the baby in her belly.
Anyway, Helian Jue's skills are pretty good, so Qin Yanning just treats it as enjoying the service.
Qin Yanning reached out to untie Helian Jue's outer robe and said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, I'm scared."
