Zhao Qingqing had high hopes, but she simply didn't have the fate to achieve that. Even as she was being led away, she was still shouting for people to let her go.
With Zhao Qingqing's matter resolved, the next step was Zhao Hu's. Looking at the way Jiang Jingyue was looking at him, Zhao Hu had a bad feeling for some reason.
Jiang Jingyue glanced at Qi Yehan beside her and asked him with a smile.
"Your Majesty, what are your plans regarding General Zhao?"
Upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's words, Zhao Hu thought that Jiang Jingyue wouldn't do anything to him, and couldn't help but look at her with some anticipation.
"Your Highness, everything that happened before was my fault. Please have mercy on me. I am willing to serve you like a slave."
Qi Yehan had no intention of letting such a person remain in this world as an eyesore. He nodded to Su Lin beside him, and Su Lin immediately ordered the servants to take Zhao Hu away.
As Zhao Hu was being led away, he kept thinking to himself that he had spent some time with Jiang Jingyue, so she probably wouldn't be so cruel to him.
The thought of the emperor's current woman, who was also his former woman, filled him with a strange excitement.
What he didn't know was that because of this, he was even more likely to die.
As Zhao Hu watched these servants lead him further and further astray, he became somewhat frightened and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Where do you people want to take this general? The Emperor will definitely have you send this general back to his residence, right? Given my relationship with your Consort Mei, she certainly wouldn't be willing to do anything to this general."
Jiang Lin couldn't help but sneer when he heard him ask that question.
"General Zhao, you're probably dreaming too much. The Emperor's decree is for your immediate execution, and your body to be thrown into a mass grave. Don't worry, General Zhao! Wild dogs and the like will surely eat your corpse, leaving you completely clean."
Upon hearing Su Lin's words, Zhao Hu was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Impossible, impossible! Where is Consort Mei? Consort Mei served me for a while, she would never treat me like this. Quickly bring Consort Mei to see me, she wouldn't bear to see the Emperor treat me like this."
Upon hearing his words, Su Lin frowned and called out to the people around him.
"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and shut him up so he doesn't talk nonsense."
The people behind him immediately covered Zhao Hu's mouth, preventing him from speaking. Although Zhao Hu struggled desperately, it was no use.
After all, Su Lin and his group consisted of several people, while Zhao Hu was alone and had no way to deal with them.
"General Zhao, there are several ways to die here. I'll be merciful and let you choose for yourself."
Zhao Hu's face turned green upon hearing this, but unfortunately, he couldn't utter a word, otherwise he would have definitely cursed Su Lin out.
He could only watch helplessly as Su Lin brought him a cup of poisoned wine and fed it to him, feeling his life slowly slipping away, but he couldn't do anything about it.
After resolving Zhao Hu's matter, Su Lin went back to report.
"Your Majesty, the matter has been resolved. The body has been disposed of in a mass grave. Within three days, his remains will be gone."
Qi Yehan was very satisfied with the result and nodded to Su Lin.
"Good work, rewarded."
Just then, Jiang Jingyue walked up to Qi Yehan and, seeing how happy he was, couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong? What happened? Why are you so happy?"
Qi Yehan would definitely not tell her about such a bloody thing, because he was afraid that Jiang Jingyue would think he was cruel.
"It's nothing. Yueyue, why did you come out? Weren't you inside with your mother?"
Jiang Jingyue walked to Qi Yehan's side, snuggled into his arms, looked at Qi Yehan, and slowly spoke.
"Your Majesty, I couldn't see you, so I was worried that you might have secretly gone back to the palace without waiting for me. That's why I came out to look for you."
Upon hearing Jiang Jingyue's words, Qi Yehan was both amused and exasperated. He couldn't help but rub the little one's head in his arms and speak with a smile.
"Yueyue, are you stupid? How could I not take you back to the palace? If you don't come back to the palace with me, I might not be able to sleep."
Jiang Jingyue actually had another reason for coming to find Qi Yehan: she was going to tell him that she wouldn't be returning to the palace that night. Little did she know that Qi Yehan's words would block her path.
However, she still looked at Qi Yehan and spoke.
"Your Majesty, I actually have something I wanted to tell you, but..."
Jiang Jingyue didn't say anything more; she looked at Qi Yehan with a hesitant expression.
Seeing Jiang Jingyue's expression, Qi Hanhan immediately spoke to her.
"Yueyue, what is it? Tell me, and I will grant you whatever you ask."
As soon as Qi Yehan said those words, Jiang Jingyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth? You promise me whatever it may be."
When she saw Qi Yehan nod, Jiang Jingyue couldn't help but smile. "Then Your Majesty, I don't want to go back to the palace tonight. I want to spend some time with my mother. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and there are many things we want to talk about. This little bit of time is simply not enough. May Your Majesty come and pick me up again tomorrow night?"
Qi Yehan never expected Jiang Jingyue to make this request, because as he had just said, he couldn't sleep at night without Jiang Jingyue by his side.
He wanted to refuse, but the little woman in front of him kept looking at him expectantly, and he simply couldn't bear to refuse.
"I will come to pick you up after the morning court session tomorrow."
Although it was a bit fast, Jiang Jingyue was satisfied. After all, since Qi Yehan had said so, it meant that he agreed to the matter.
So she immediately hugged Qi Yehan's neck and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. You are so kind."
After saying that, Jiang Jingyue slipped out of Qi Yehan's arms like an eel, so fast that he didn't even have time to react.
After Jiang Jingyue had run away for a while, he finally realized what had happened and couldn't help but shake his head.
Jiang Jingyue's goal was very clear: to go into Madam Jiang's room. As soon as she entered, she saw Madam Jiang sewing something, which made Jiang Jingyue a little curious.
She quickly came to Madam Jiang's side and looked at her with some confusion, asking her a question.
"Mom, what are you doing?!"
