The mistress of the Hou family went crazy after doting on concubines and killing their wives.

Chapter 239 A sudden turn of events
Emperor Heng took a step forward, then paused: "Beat him to death!"

Then he walked away.

Li Yuyi and Qin Wan felt a chill in their hearts, knowing that Emperor Heng was talking about beating the eunuch to death.

Then bursts of screams were heard from behind.

Lu Liuli and He Jinhua's faces turned pale with fear. Concubine Lu stared at them and said, "Look carefully, if you dare to plot against me and my son, you will be beaten to death next time!"

Lu Liuli and He Jinhua kowtowed quickly and said they dared not.

"Do you know how to reply when you get back?"

"I know." The two of them didn't dare to go back and say anything else.

"Get out!" Concubine Lu became angrier the more she thought about it.

Your Majesty has come to Xiangluan Palace with great difficulty, but it has to be for such a terrible thing.

A fight between the Lu and Sun families would not be good for her or her son.

"Father." Li Yuyi followed Emperor Heng obediently.

"Ok?"

"Don't we need to send someone to supervise the execution? If they cover up in the mansion and the perpetrators don't get a lesson, they will be even worse next time."

Emperor Heng turned his head to look at her, his eyes darkened: "Are you really here to ask for forgiveness from me or is it because of what happened today?"

Li Yuyi stopped walking immediately, her face full of grievance: "Father, do you doubt me? I have the ability to predict the future, so I know that Lu Liuli and the others will harm the eldest prince's wife today? Or do you think that no matter what happens, it is my fault?"

Qin Wan leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty. Today, I went to the Grand Princess's mansion to comfort her. She cried and said she didn't know how to face Your Majesty. The Queen is also very strong-willed. As a daughter, the Grand Princess was very embarrassed to be caught in the middle. So I dared to accompany the Grand Princess into the palace. Fortunately, we entered the palace today, otherwise the Grand Prince's wife's reputation in the palace would be ruined, which would hurt the dignity of the royal family and damage the dignity of Your Majesty."

Emperor Heng deeply agreed with Qin Wan’s last two sentences.

Seeing tears welling up in the eyes of my daughter, whom I had always treated as a treasure, I thought to myself that she was also pitiful, having suffered so much after marrying that bastard Lu Qianzhi.

Her tone softened: "Okay, stop crying. I don't blame you. If you and Qin Wan hadn't entered the palace, something really bad would have happened."

Emperor Heng looked at Qin Wan. Because he wanted to make important use of Xie Zhiyan, his dislike for Qin Wan was somewhat reduced.

"Your two maids are very good and deserve a reward."

Luzhu and Hongzhu knelt down quickly and did not dare to say anything.

Qin Wan smiled and said, "I would like to thank you on their behalf."

Emperor Heng nodded: "It's all because of your good training. All of you get up, and I'll give you a reward of 100 taels of silver each."

Green Pearl and Red Pearl were both stunned.

One hundred taels?

It’s a number they would never dare to imagine in their lifetime.

"Father, my daughter and Qin Wan should also be rewarded." Li Yuyi's eyes were red.

Emperor Heng was in a better mood: "Reward, you two will be rewarded generously."

He looked at Qin Wan: "Xie Zhiyan is still alive, did you know that?"

Qin Wan was shocked.

She didn't know whether Xie Zhiyan had met His Majesty, so she didn't dare to give a random answer and could only remain silent for a long time.

Emperor Heng thought, maybe she felt embarrassed?

"When I promised you to marry Xie Zhiyan, I didn't expect him to come back alive. If you two love each other and live in harmony, I have done a good thing."

The implication is that if Qin Wan asks for a divorce without knowing what is good for her, wouldn't that mean the emperor has done a bad thing?

Qin Wan understood now.

She quickly half-knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I will obey your command."

Emperor Heng stared at the top of her head and thought for a moment: "I granted the marriage because of your righteousness. Since he is alive, let him make the choice."

Qin Wan was unhappy.

Why should he make the choice? Why can't women make the choice?

But now is not the time to argue about this.

"My daughter obeys the order."

Emperor Heng felt relieved to see that she was obedient, and looked up at Li Yuyi.

"Your mother..."

Li Yuyi hurriedly said: "My brother is seriously injured, and mother cries every day, and her health is not good. The imperial doctors in the palace have come to see him and said that he needs a long period of recuperation. I went to ask for Doctor Bu, a famous doctor in Bian Jing, but he hasn't come yet." "Doctor Bu? I will order her to go to the Grand Princess's Mansion immediately." Emperor Heng nodded when he heard this.

The Imperial Hospital did report that Li Haoyu was indeed seriously injured.

But he was still angry because they didn't take him seriously enough.

Since Li Yuyi was here, he also wanted to find a way out.

"Send people to the Wenxinhou Mansion and the He Mansion to convey my order." Emperor Heng instructed the eunuchs around him.

The eunuch took orders and made arrangements.

Emperor Heng said to Li Yuyi kindly, "I miss you too. You should persuade your mother that her return to the palace will not delay her care for the crown prince. If she delays returning to the palace, those civil servants will find an excuse to attack her and the crown prince, right?"

Li Yuyi nodded with tears in her eyes: "My daughter obeys your command."

Emperor Heng felt relieved.

These troublesome things finally have a result.

Qin Wan and Li Yuyi were sitting in the carriage, looking at each other and smiling.

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

Li Yuyi smiled and shed tears: "I don't want to wrong my mother."

Qin Wan held her hand and said, "Don't feel wronged. If you don't want to go back to the palace, then don't go back. After we deal with the Sun and Lu families, we will work together to help you find a solution."

Li Yuyi nodded: "Okay."

Soon, news spread in the capital that Lü Liuli and He Jinhua were planning to murder the eldest prince's wife. Even the storyteller wrote a book about it. The story became more and more exciting. It even wrote about why Lü Liuli, who wanted to be the crown princess, ended up wanting to seize the eldest prince's wife.

For a time, the news that Li Haochuan intended to replace the crown prince was widely spread.

It is one thing to be reported because the Queen and the Crown Prince do not regard the Emperor as their superior.

But making Li Haochuan, who had a bad reputation, the crown prince was another matter.

Some of the ministers who had previously criticized the Queen and the Crown Prince withdrew their petitions, and a debate on the prince's chance to succeed the throne began in the court.

The previous dynasty was in an uproar over the dethronement of the Queen, the dethronement of the Crown Prince, and the fight for the throne, when the Queen suddenly returned to the palace.

This news spread throughout Bian Jing in an instant, and the rumors suddenly stopped. For a moment, no one knew which direction to follow.

Soon, the second message appeared.

The Queen Mother requested to be deposed, and the Crown Prince also requested to be deposed.

Those who impeached the Queen and the Crown Prince were all stunned. How could they impeach them?

Then, the third bombshell appeared.

Xie Zhiyan came back alive, and took over the Imperial City Administration at a lightning speed. He also quickly sealed off the residences of several officials and arrested dozens of people into the Imperial City Administration.

There was no movement from the Mansion of Marquis Wenxin and the Mansion of Duke Sun, but they were also panicked because those who were arrested were all their subordinates.

The court officials were confused by this blow after another.

The mansion of Marquis Wenjin was also in chaos.

"Xie Zhiyan is still alive!" Old Madam Xie widened her eyes.

Xie Duo's face was gloomy: "Yeah, I didn't expect it. The Lu family and the Sun family were all caught off guard."

Madam Xie gritted her teeth in anger: "That bastard is not dead!"

Xie Huaiyu was also confused.

Xie Zhiyan is back, his dream of becoming a prince has become a bubble, and it is even more impossible for Qin Wan to become his woman.

"Mother, what should we do now?" Xie Duo frowned.

Madam Xie pondered for a while: "We have to take advantage of this opportunity before Xie Zhiyan gains a firm foothold..."

Xie Huaiyu hurriedly said: "Grandmother, he has taken over the Imperial City Division, we can't touch him easily."

"We are all family, so shouldn't Xie Zhiyan respectfully call me grandma?" Old Madam Xie said slowly.

She glanced at Xie Huaiyu and said, "Qin Wan has no feelings for Xie Zhiyan. If Xie Zhiyan comes back, Qin Wan will definitely want to divorce him. This is your chance."

Xie Huaiyu's heart moved: "Does she really not like Xie Zhiyan?"

Madam Xie smiled confidently: "She actually likes you, and she married the dead Xie Zhiyan out of spite. With her strong personality, would she be willing to really marry Xie Zhiyan? We just need to let Xie Zhiyan know that you have a deep relationship with her."

The extinguished fire in Xie Huaiyu's heart was rekindled.
