The Zichen Hall was cleared out.
Yan Luan was left behind.
The sage didn't deal with those people; he ran away faster than anyone else, as if he had never been there.
Perhaps it's a case of "the law doesn't punish everyone"? A group of people are hoping to get away with it. They didn't bring down Huan Yue the first time, so they'll try again next time.
However, the fact that Huan Yue could be granted the title of Duke of Qi so casually shows the emperor's favor towards him!
Yan Luan thought to himself, this is a blessing from the Emperor to Qing'e. Even the Emperor's favor towards Princess Huayang in the past has never been so great.
The current approach is quite straightforward: "Drag them away and give them thirty strokes of the cane."
Yes! Whether it's the imperial son-in-law or Yan Jialang, thirty strokes of the cane shouldn't hurt him.
Let's sit down and rest now.
An official came to report: "The eldest Pei clan member has been sentenced to death, but the younger Pei clan member has escaped."
Jin Dian was taken aback: "Where did you run off to?"
The eunuch carefully said, "He ran to Lian Qing, a retainer of the He family."
He wasn't a proper retainer, but Lian Qing was willing to serve as a servant in the He family. Therefore, the He family should take the blame.
The fact that the He family would protect a woman without an imperial decree shows how arrogant the He family is.
Today, without changing his expression, he asked, "How did you end up at Lian Qing's place?"
Huan Yue knew: "The Shi family falsely claimed that Pei Yuannu was dead and secretly gave it to Lian Qing, who liked it very much. This is probably to help his sister-in-law win the favor of her sweetheart."
He's trying to please Pei Yuannu, so where's the imperial edict?
He snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Huan Yue was about to slip away, otherwise those spreading rumors would only make more noise.
Xie Zhou was reviewing memorials over there.
Let bygones be bygones.
Huan Yue did not go over; he had no interest in the memorial.
They sat and drank tea and ate snacks while waiting for Yan Luan. It was getting late, but Huan Yue wasn't hungry.
These days, after eating some snacks, one may appear to be dozing off.
Pretending to sleep is not the same as faking sleep; it means taking a nap without taking off your clothes.
The hall was quiet. Yan Luan looked terrible when he was dragged back.
Huan Yue remained silent, seemingly asleep.
Yan Luan didn't dare to utter a sound and lay on the ground; it was getting cold.
Huan Yue felt that there was probably a fire burning in his heart, and Yan Luan naturally knew that Xie Yu's fate was not good.
Locked up, how can mathematics be easy to learn? Does Han Oumo know the distance from the moon to Sheng'an?
So, Xie Yu might be doing this for a lifetime, which is still considered good.
If Xie Zhou works on an empty stomach, the Emperor will definitely be dissatisfied with him.
Serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; there are too many possibilities of angering the emperor! He doesn't need any reason to take his anger out on you.
Xie Yu secretly ate some snacks so he wouldn't go hungry. With his wife around, he worked hard.
It feels much better to open my eyes now.
Huan Yue's eyes lit up; the emperor uncle was quite formidable.
She glanced at her, then at Yan Luan: "What are you going to do today?"
Yan Luan dared not utter a sound.
He roared angrily, "Have you lost your voice?"
Yan Luan was startled and cried, "Luan Sheng is really pregnant. I only have one son now."
Jin Dian Zhen Qi laughed: "A concubine dares to share your name? Didn't your father beat you to death? Your father has more than one son and more than one grandson."
Huan Yue interjected, "Doesn't this show how deep your feelings are? You are in me, and I am in you. Let's be husband and wife again in the next life."
Yan Luan turned to look at her, his expression somewhat sorrowful.
Huan Yue laughed and said, "Your children are forgotten, and your feelings for Cui Jin are truly forgotten now. Let's get a divorce. Yan Fufu will change her surname to Xie and stay in the Eastern Palace. I'm sure the Yan family can handle Yan Boxuan taking her back."
The Emperor decreed: "Yan Luan and Cui Jin shall divorce, and Cui Jin shall be granted a private residence. Yan Luan shall never be allowed to hold office again."
Yan Luan panicked! How could he not enter officialdom?
The current authorities acted decisively, ordering someone to send Yan Boxuan back to the Yan family.
It's inappropriate for him to continue living in the East Palace. Changing Yan Fufu to Xie Fufu would be fine.
Today, Qing'e said, "Yongmu is going to sea. When she returns, Fufu will go with her."
Huan Yue nodded: "Yan Boxuan will become a great general in the future, so let the Yan family train him well."
The eunuch sympathized with Yan Boxuan.
Would this be considered the son paying for the father's debts? However, others may not be able to become great generals, and replacing the He family is too small a goal.
Yan Luan has been dealt with.
Xie Zhou then returned to the East Palace with his wife.
The memorials are the Emperor's own business, and besides, there are quite a few of them that are rather chaotic; you don't even need to look at them closely.
They can settle accounts later based on the memorials submitted to the emperor. Do they think they can escape? They're far too naive.
Entering the East Palace through Xuanfu Gate, all was quiet.
Huan Yue thought to himself, the He family has dared not to come to the palace to apologize more than once, but it would be fine if they did it a few more times.
Pei Huanfeng alone can't do much, but Lian Qingbao alone can't handle the whole world?
The eunuch reported to the Empress: "This year, we harvested forty-two loads of ginkgo nuts."
Huan Yue blinked. So many!
The eunuch was also pleased, as the ginkgo nuts from Qing'e Palace were of very good quality.
Everything is packed and ready to be given away.
Huan Yue had already promised, and now that he's received a large amount, he has to send it over.
There's no need for someone like Lady Cui. Making her two daughters divorce would ruin King Zheng's plans, especially by sending him out to sea.
Huan Yue pondered, "The Cui family hasn't made a move?"
Xie Zhou carried her into Qing'e Palace, saying, "Why aren't you moving?"
Not counting those who criticize her, Huan Yue said, "It's impossible to give up the King of Zheng. Even if you marry a wife, she can still cause trouble."
Xie Zhou bit her: "That's something King Zheng should worry about. You should worry about it for me."
Huan Yue asked, "Will I find you a wife?"
Fang Tang walked around the wall, for the sweet nothings spoken by men and women were not for others to hear.
She was just curious: Pei Huanying was sentenced to death, but Pei Huanfeng actually went to be with Pei Yuannu.
Are the Pei sisters really that fond of each other? Does Pei Huanfeng even approve of Lian Qing? Or is she instigating Lian Qing to rebel?
Just thinking about it makes me tremble! Fang Tang doesn't understand why the Emperor hasn't brought Pei Huanfeng out.
**
When Gong Yun returned, it was still early.
But it's not because I'm lazy. Running all day, every single day, is so tiring!
But she was willing. Even though many people didn't need her kindness.
In fact, many people are happy, not because they are greedy for small gains, but because the sage remembers them.
According to the imperial court's regulations, none of the women offered to the emperor are as beautiful as Shan Yuan. Even the clerks are quite attractive.
Although I don't know if they'll get tanned from running around too much, it's best if they're around 20 for now.
If Gong Yun gives a little more to those who aren't in good condition, they'll be even happier!
At Wenqi Academy, Ju Zhaoxun was busy.
When Gong Yun returned, I greeted her.
Ju Zhaoxun was surprised: "You're back so early?"
Gong Yun said, "Something came up."
Ju Zhaoxun asked, "Should we tell Her Majesty later?"
Gong Yun nodded.
Ju Zhaoxun got up to help. She also went over to listen that evening. By the way, "You know Pei Huanying was put to death?"
Gong Yun stopped, blinked, still unaware. But thinking about it, it made sense.
Ju Zhaoxun sighed. If Pei Huanying was truly troublesome, wasn't it also caused by those people? But because Pei Huanying had no connections, her death was easy.
But putting aside the background, being an honest person is much safer.
Gong Yun has heard so much these past few days! And there's all this criticism of the Charity Department. She's become much more assertive.
Once the sage takes action, those spreading rumors will have to stop.
Ren Zhaoxun also came over, since she had nothing better to do: "I heard that when the King of Qi was granted the title of Marquis of Qihun, Lady Dong almost fainted from anger!"
The palace maid whispered, "Your Highness is too kind-hearted to grant him the title of Duke of Qi. If it were me, I would give him a good beating if I were slandered like that!"
