Jia was stunned to see Aunt Xi crying before her, after discussing how Aunt Xi finally told her everything about Consort Feng's past.

"Auntie, listen to me! I promise that Big Brother Feng will get justice" Jia said as she gripped the wrinkled hand.

"He was just a kid back then but he harbored everything and decided to avenge himself" Lirih Aunt Xi said.

"Relax Aunt, if I know about the problem then I will help Big Brother Feng" Reply Jia.

"Auntie please don't let Jiao be a bad person" Begged Aunt Xi to return Jia's hand.

Jia replied with a definite nod and smile.

"Madam, our spy said that Concubine Feng almost stabbed Consort Meng this afternoon because Consort Meng was talking about her father's prowess" Miu reported.

Jia immediately realized from her focus of writing a letter.

"really?"

"Yes madam, but it looks like Concubine Feng is undoing her intentions" Miu continued.

"But Madam if Consort Feng's past story is true, can't we overthrow the Prime Minister, let alone the murder of Madam's mother" Yuan said.

"You're right and I've thought about it too" Jia replied.

"But it is not easy to make the Judge a suspect, let alone his sister the Queen Mother" Yuan said.

Jia sighed and stared outside her residence, for a moment she enjoyed the darkness of the night.

"For the judge's matter, I'll meet him and ask him to admit everything" Jia said.

"The lady was too rash" Yuan protested.

"If it used to be Yes, but I guarantee that if he saw me then he would be scared" said Yakin Jia. Yuan looked at Confused.

"Because the Judge has changed" explained Miu, Yuan now understood.

"You better sleep at night!" Jia.

"Mistress?" Yuan asked, but before Jia answered Miu immediately dragged Yuan outside.

After his two servants left Jia refocused on the letter he wrote to Consort Feng.

"Come out" Jia said.

A man came out from behind the closet.

"Your Majesty is like a thief" Jia said.

Liang only chuckled, he deliberately hid because there were still Miu and Yuan.

"So, is that a fact?" Asked Liang while sitting before Jia.

"True, so I will unite this case to overthrow the Prime Minister" Jia replied.

"Then what about the case of the Servant's mother?" Jia asked who made Liang petrified.

"Suri's mother didn't say anything after I explained everything, it doesn't seem like she believes her sister's behavior" Liang explained.

"But Your Majesty can assure you that the Queen Mother will not stand in the way?" Jia asked with a threatening tone there.

"Of course not, the Queen Mother is not the one who will defend something wrong" Liang replied.

"Hamba will believe your words for now" Jia replied.

Liang did not answer again so they dissolved in silence and only scratches of brush and paper were heard.

"You're not coming back?" Ask Jia.

Liang raised his eyebrows.

"Why do you always throw me out?" Ask Liang.

Jia sighed.

"Your Majesty, I'm sure that you have a lot of work" Jia replied as she folded her letter.

"Ck, you're too stiff" Sindir Liang.

"Unfortunately if life is too soft in the Palace then say hi to the tomb" Reply Jia, Liang chuckled amusedly to hear it.

"What if I'm gonna stay the night?" Tempted Liang, Jia glared sharply.

"May, but in a dream" Reply Jia stood up to put her writing equipment on the storage.

"Why do you always reject me?" Ask Liang.

"Have said that the servant did not want to engage further with the palace, besides the servant became a concubine because he used to want to save his elder brother" explained Jia who each stood his back to Liang.

And when Jia turned around, Liang was already not there.

Now the two women are facing each other at the Meihua residence. After Jia sent a letter to Consort Feng, now Consort Feng was willing to come to see her.

"If I digest your letter, then are you willing to help me with my troubles?" Ask Jiao.

"True, after all I also have business with the Prime Minister" Jia replied.

Jiao laughed loudly.

"That's all?"

"And Aunt Xi also asked me to keep you from sinking into evil" Jia replied.

Jiao looked dumbfounded as Aunt Xi's name came out of Jia's mouth.

"What are you doing, Aunt Xi?" Ask Jiao.

"I just asked him and he answered. But Big Brother Feng knows retaliating for evil with evil is not a good thing" Jia said.

Jiao was silent and did not answer, although her revenge always flared but her conscience still held her to revenge.

"And again it looks like you need help getting back at the old man, right?" Guess Jia.

"What do you offer?" Ask Jiao.

"I'm just offering you peace of heart without having to stain your hands" Jia explained.

"You mean it but what is your motive for overthrowing the Prime Minister?" Ask Jiao who is not sure.

"My mother was killed by the old man because she knew of his scandal with the former Emperor's Former Consort" Jia explained, she deliberately used that excuse because she did not want Consort Feng to know that she was cooperating with Liang.

"I've heard of the scandal but now I'm surprised by the fact you brought" Consort Feng said.

"I'll think about everything before replying" continued Jiao who immediately stood up.

Jia looked at that back, she knew that Consort Feng was happy that someone was helping her when she had no other way. But he also felt despair on Consort Feng's back.

"Mrs sure she'll keep going?" Asked Yuan worried.

"Yuan, I just went to the court of the palace" Reply Jia was upset, the reason Yuan had asked if he was sure.

"But Madam what if she harms the mistress" Yuan said.

Jia rolled her eyes grandly.

"Trust me I will return safely" Reply Jia while holding onto Yuan's two shoulders.

Yuan was silent, though he believed, but he was still worried.

"Yuan believe that our mistress is a strong person" said Miu, who was actually also a little worried.

Yuan grabbed Jia's hand for him to hold.

"Hamba Believes".

***

Sure enough the Judge looked frightened when he saw Jia.

"Why do you want?" Nervous ask.

Jia grinned.

"Do you remember my face?" Jia asked who stood before the man.

"You're Mrs Li's son" replied the judge.

"Right and I hold you accountable" Jia threatened.

The man who served as judge is now frozen, he was indeed very cruel as the Prime Minister. But since his daughter was born he was determined to change and forget all the past, but now Jia stands before him and asks him for responsibility.

"Do you know the punishment for the murder of a general's wife and the mother of a beloved concubine of the Emperor?" Jia.

"And you also know that the Queen Mother will not defend the wrong people" Lanju Jia.

The Judge tried to neutralize his expression.

"What do you want?"
