They were naked, without clothes on, and had dog chains around their necks.
Even the general who was used to big scenes was completely shocked by this scene.
No one expected that the Marquis of Huaiyang, who seemed to be upright on the surface, had such a perverted hobby!
An hour later, the general returned and told the emperor everything he had seen in detail.
After hearing this, the emperor grabbed the cup in front of him and smashed it hard on the Marquis of Huaiyang.
"You, Marquis Huaiyang, have failed me for all these years. You could actually do such a hateful thing. If I don't punish you severely, it would be unjust!"
"Come here, throw him into death row, and all the people in the three clans will be imprisoned!"
The Marquis of Huaiyang's legs went limp, and he knelt on the ground in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. For the sake of our youth, please spare the lives of my family. I am willing to die now to apologize for my crime!"
"Drag him out!"
Marquis Huaiyang was dragged away by the guards while screaming and begging for mercy.
The matter has come to an end and all those involved have been punished.
After everything was done, the emperor specially invited them to have lunch together.
Afterwards, he took the two of them to a side hall and looked at Chu Weiyue with some confusion.
"In fact, I have been secretly investigating this matter. I know everything you do, but I don't know how you know it's the Marquis of Huaiyang."
The emperor narrowed his eyes, his gaze filled with thoughtfulness.
Chu Weiyue smiled smugly: "What else could it be, because only Huaiyang Hou is the weirdest! I also got the clue based on the money bank."
After a pause, Chu Weiyue continued: "This bank has always been tepid, but in recent years, the amount of money that has suddenly flowed in and out has been extremely large. Ordinary banks simply cannot provide a large amount of silver, but this bank can, which is of course abnormal.
In addition, the Marquis of Huaiyang had been keeping money in other banks and suddenly designated this one, so I followed the clues and found that they were privately making silver and money..."
After hearing everything he said, the emperor and Wen Jingchi were full of admiration.
Chu Weiyue blinked playfully and set her gaze on Wen Jingchi.
"My Lord, the reason I ignored you these past few days was actually because I was doing some serious work. You won't blame me, right?"
This time Wen Jingchi said nothing, but instead slightly curled the corners of his lips.
The emperor saw this scene and couldn't help laughing, looking at Chu Weiyue with admiration.
"You are such a powerful woman, not much different from my sons! Take any of the things that were confiscated from the Huaiyang Marquis's Mansion, and I will let the Ninth Prince take you there later."
"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty! The prince has also made great contributions this time. Your Majesty cannot ignore him."
These words made the emperor laugh again. He never thought that this woman could be so funny.
Because of their busy schedule, let the two of them rest here and leave the palace later to go to the Imperial Study to review memorials.
Chu Weiyue moved closer to Wen Jingchi and clung to him.
Normally, he wished he could stay as far away from her as possible, but this time, Wen Jingchi did not run away.
Chu Weiyue didn’t know which ones were valuable, so she just picked the ones she liked.
Wen Jingchi stood by, smiling but saying nothing.
Chu Weiyue turned around and noticed his unfathomable expression. She asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing, let's go."
He couldn't help laughing, turned and walked forward.
His eyes fell on the golden bowl and golden bricks that Chu Weiyue was holding, and a hint of sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
There were so many valuable things, but this woman chose the least valuable one.
Any one of the box of gold, silver and jewelry just now is worth several times more than these gold bricks and bowls!
Just as the two were about to reach the gate of the palace, the eunuch beside the emperor came and walked up to Chu Weiyue with a smile.
"Miss Chu, this is the token the emperor gave you. He thinks you are good at business, so he sent you to assist the Beijing Chamber of Commerce. Another country will come to establish diplomatic relations soon, so I'd like to trouble you to communicate well with the Chamber of Commerce during this period."
Chu Weiyue's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the token: "Don't worry, I will never let the emperor down!"
The style is very much like that of an official or minister who has been entrusted with an important task.
As a result, she walked with a bit of vigor when she left.
Wen Jingchi walked behind Chu Weiyue. For some reason, the more he looked at her, the more he felt that this woman was a mystery...
Thinking about her performance today, I began to look at her with new eyes for the first time.
He personally sent Chu Weiyue to the door before taking the carriage back.
Grandma had already learned about Chu Weiyue's contribution, and when she saw her come back, she ran over happily.
"Let grandma see that your good granddaughter is so amazing and has been rewarded by the emperor..."
That incident has now spread throughout the capital, and everyone in the mansion knows about it.
The Marquis, who had always disliked Chu Weiyue, rarely smiled.
Chu Ranxin was under house arrest, and without seeing her, Song stood alone in the corner, looking dejected and dusty.
Chu Weiyue was too lazy to pay attention to her and went to the backyard with her grandmother to appreciate the flowers.
Wen Chenxuan was also the first to learn about this matter, and he still found it a little unbelievable: "Are you telling the truth? Did Chu Weiyue really make a great contribution?"
"Your Highness, it is absolutely true. This woman should not be underestimated. She is even more powerful than a man!"
Wen Chenxuan nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that Chu Weiyue should be used well.
If Wen Jingchi gets the upper hand, sooner or later he will become arrogant and ride on his head.
Thinking about the past, she personally selected an expensive hairpin and went to the Marquis' Mansion to find Chu Weiyue at dusk.
After learning that Wen Chenxuan had called out by name at the front desk and asked me to go there, I had no choice but to go to the front hall.
"Weiyue, tonight is a full moon night. Would you be willing to go boating with me? I have prepared some fine wine..."
After a moment's pause, Chu Weiyue instantly understood what he meant and almost vomited the disgusting overnight meal.
Instead of refusing, he looked up at the sky. Just as he said, the moon was round and big.
I nodded subconsciously: "The moon is so beautiful, I will go to find the Ninth Prince later. Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has prepared fine wine, thank you very much, we will definitely live up to your kindness tonight."
In order to achieve the purpose of mocking him, I deliberately winked at him playfully.
Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists, the anger in his heart reaching its peak, but he still deliberately tried to be patient and try to make peace.
I thought he was noisy and plugged my ears with cotton.
He yawned again, and fell asleep openly while sitting on the chair...
Wen Chenxuan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in hatred, but he couldn't get angry in front of him. After being humiliated here, he could only leave in anger.
As soon as he left, Chu Weiyue sat up straight and snorted with disdain.
She would only stay away from such a cunning and hateful guy, and would never fall into his sweet trap like Chu Ranxin did.
In her opinion, Wen Chenxuan was not half as handsome as Wen Jingchi!
There's nothing I can do, she's just so vulgar...
