Yu Lian and Chang Rui walked out of Yu Lian's study with calm expressions as if there was no problem at all.
The two of them walked in a familiar manner and Chang Rui guided Yu Lian to walk towards the middle hall.
There was Liu Chang who had been waiting and Yu Lian sitting on her throne with a cold expression.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhong wishes to discuss something important with His Majesty. " Say Liu Chang on his knees.
"Call Prime Minister Zhong to come in. " The orders of Yu Lian and Liu Chang nodded their heads.
"If so then, I'll go first Ayahanda. I won't interfere with your work anymore. " Chang Rui said with a meaningful smile and walked to the back layer.
This was not a wall but rather a thin plate that could hide someone behind it, when Liu Chang walked out for a while to summon Prime Minister Zhong, Chang Rui had already disappeared first.
So when Prime Minister Zhong entered, it left only Yu Lian alone sitting on the throne with her cold expression as if harboring a silent rage.
"What made Prime Minister Zhong come here without even calling ?" Ask Emperor.
"This servant came to discuss the matter of Xu Yue's arrest on this condition. " Accounted Prime Minister Zhong..
"I happen to want to discuss this with you, just don't know if you can come or not. Who would have thought that you would take a step first ?" Ask the Emperor casually.
"Yes.I've heard of his arrest he's just that I'm really embarrassed by his actions that don't reflect the majesty that the members of the Empire should have. " Said Prime Minister Zhong.
"I always felt that he was so humiliating, his actions this time had been uproarious and made people distrustful of the Palace. He should be given a severe punishment." Prime Minister Zhong.
"Oh, so what punishment do you want to give Xu Yue ?" Ask Emperor.
"I think it's better if his property is partially confiscated and he is held for a year in prison as a form of learning, however he commits a major crime. " Prime Minister Zhong said confidently.
"Oh, with so much of his crime just enough to give him a 1-year sentence ? What will people endow my government with ? Do you have a deep relationship with Xu Yue ? You even defended her so brightly. " Say the Emperor with a sigh.
"How can it be said to have a deep relationship ? I didn't even talk much with Marquis Xu. I hope that Your Majesty does not misunderstand this. Do not let the good relationship between us become tenuous because of this problem. " Prime Minister Zhong said in a hurry.
While Yu Lian felt that her heart had turned cloudy after realizing that what Chang Rui said was true.
Previously Yu Lian had thought that her daughter was just bluffing, who would have thought that the thing her daughter said would turn into a painful truth.
While Chang Rui who was hiding behind the thin plate was listening to the conversation of the two in silence.
After being brought closer, the wood will burn quickly, at that time the flame will grow bigger.
And when that time comes then Chang Rui will come with a bucket of cold water and water the fire and the wood that has been destroyed until it is extinguished.
At that time, who would come out to be the winner ? Of course he is. He would defeat these two people with just one move.
This was also a good thing considering that he was indeed unhappy with Xu Yue's disgusting mannerisms.
"With the crime he had then he should be put to death coupled with the law of castration but since he is a member of the Empire then I will only sentence him to death. " Said Yu Lian.
"Your Majesty, if you take this extreme step then people will think of you as a cruel person. This is not good for His Majesty's reputation and the reputation of the Palace. " Prime Minister Zhong responded in panic.
"Listen to my command ! Xu Yue would be stripped of his title and all his property would be confiscated, while his wife and daughter's son would be given life as a commoner. Meanwhile Xu Yue would be executed within three days in front of the northern market so that people could watch. "The Yu Lian Government.
"Whoever seeks to defend the criminal and sinner Xu Yue then do not hesitate to pull him into the Prison !" Yu Lian exclaimed furiously and hit the arm of her chair.
Prime Minister Zhong did not expect that his request would be denied raw and self-management so as not to show his anger.
"Yes, Your Majesty !" Eunuch Liu and Prime Minister Zhong answered the orders handed down by the Emperor.
Not long after, Prime Minister Zhong finally came out and paid his respects to return while Chang Rui walked out gently.
"What about my words ? Still want to say that I'm just guessing nebak ? I'm sorry, but I don't like guessing wildly without proof. " Chang Rui said.
"What you said was right, Zhong Li really came here to defend Xu Yue. It's a pity that I still don't have any evidence that he intends to rebel otherwise things will turn out to be easier to get rid of Zhong Li who has been acting as a tumor for the past dozen years these. " She Yu Lian complained.
"There is nothing wrong, you are a greedy person and want everything to be easy. Everything has stages one by one, if you want an instant then do not cooperate with me. " Reply Chang Rui.
"Do you have any way to drop Zhong Li into the trap he has set himself all along ?" Ask Yu Lian.
"Of course I can, just what am I going to get for this hard-earned thing I've done ?" Chang Rui asked back.
"I will give you the power to control all the maids and concubines, and to pay attention to everyone who enters and exits the Palace. You could say that you will become the internal chairman of the Palace, only that you might have to stay in the Capital to deal with it. " Answer Yu Lian.
"It was easy and it included a generous offer, Ayahanda. You can write it on paper, it just so happens that in front of you there is a brush, ink and paper. I'll grind the ink for you. " Reply Chang Rui.
