After the divorce, the princess was forced to raise a sickly villain

"Your Highness really wants to raid the house of the Minister of Household Affairs?" Sitting in the carriage, Wen Zhan was really surprised by Chu Qinghuang's thunderous methods. "If it was for me, wouldn't this matter be a bit of a big deal-"

"There is no need to be sentimental." Chu Qinghuang sat and read the military book, her voice indifferent and calm, "The raid on the Household Secretary's home has long been part of my plan. I originally planned to go there early tomorrow morning, but it was brought forward tonight."

Wen Zhan was silent for a moment and touched his nose in embarrassment.

Well, it turns out it wasn't because he was angry at Lan Yan.

It's true that he is being sentimental.

"But His Highness's behavior tonight will make people think that he is taking revenge on the Hong family because of me." Wen Zhan pondered, "Your Highness, aren't you worried about being misunderstood?"

"Misunderstanding?" Chu Qinghuang looked up at him, "What's the misunderstanding?"

Wen Zhan said nothing.

What's the misunderstanding?

Didn’t he make it very clear just now? It was misunderstood that Chu Qinghuang deliberately retaliated against the Minister of Hubu because of him.

"I encountered an assassination attempt at the Wen family tonight." Chu Qinghuang's tone was very calm, as if he was not talking about his own affairs, "The people sent by the other party were dead soldiers, and they wanted to kill me, and their methods were extremely cruel and vicious. "

Wen Zhan was shocked, "Assassination?"

"If something happens to me in the Wen family tonight, the first person to be implicated will definitely be your father. The person behind the scenes wants to kill two birds with one stone." Chu Qinghuang said coldly, "I will get rid of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance. , I just broke the other person’s arm, which is more merciful than what they did.”

Wen Zhan narrowed his eyes and quietly pondered what Chu Qinghuang meant.

The Minister of Household Affairs supports Concubine Feng and the third prince. Chu Qinghuang said that he would break one of the other's arms... Does this mean that the assassination of the eldest princess was ordered by the third prince?

Chu Qinghuang's eyes glanced at Wen Zhan's face, and his tone was indifferent: "You don't have the power to tie a chicken?"

Well?

Wen Zhan cleared his throat and was about to speak.

"I don't like hearing lies."

Wen Zhan hesitated for a moment, and then he said calmly: "It's not that I'm incompetent. I know a little bit of the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, but I can't compare with His Highness. I can barely protect myself."

Chu Qinghuang didn't know whether he believed it or not: "You don't seem to be able to protect yourself tonight."

"I'm trying to create an opportunity to give His Highness a reason to punish Wen Li." Wen Zhan said with a smile, and wisely chose to tell the truth in front of Chu Qinghuang, "A few slaps in the face will change Wen Li's punishment tonight. I feel very worth."

Moreover, Chu Qinghuang said that he would send someone to examine the injury tomorrow. No matter whether he actually sent someone to check the injury tomorrow, Wen Xingyun would never dare to risk offending Chu Qinghuang and betray Wen Li, so the legitimate son of the Wen family was destined to not have an easy time tonight.

"You are also cunning." Chu Qinghuang said calmly, "Even I dare to scheme and take advantage of you."

Wen Zhan bowed his head and apologized: "I am willing to be punished by His Highness."

Chu Qinghuang glanced at him, lowered his eyes, and continued to look at the military book in his hand.

The carriage quickly arrived outside the gate of the eldest princess's mansion. Three thousand black-armored guards had gathered and were on standby after receiving Fucang's order. They were all majestic and imposing.

Chu Qinghuang got down from the carriage, and the three thousand guards knelt down at the same time: "See Your Highness the Princess! Your Highness is a thousand years old!"

The momentum is like thunder and the sound is deafening.

"Fucang." Chu Qinghuang's voice was cold, "Go to my study room and take all the evidence, as well as my gold book and talisman, and take action immediately!"

"yes."

Fu Cang bowed to accept the order, and then his body flew away like a ghost and quickly disappeared outside the gate.

Jinlan stepped forward and tied Chu Qinghuang's cloak.

The guard brought Chu Qinghuang's mount Phoenix. Chu Qinghuang got on the horse and said in a cold voice that was solemn and coercive in the night: "Go to Shangshu Mansion."

The uniform footsteps of three thousand guards broke the dark night. Military generals were not allowed to mobilize their troops without authorization, otherwise they would be regarded as treason and could be killed on the spot.

Chu Qinghuang is not yet a military commander, and has the privilege of dispatching three thousand guards at will in advance, so he does not need to take any risks in tonight's action.

The news soon reached the House of the Minister of Revenue. Hong Shangshu, who was having dinner, was shocked and said: "What?"

"Elder...eldest princess, please lead...bring troops to copy..." The servant who reported the report had a pale face and tremblingly said, "Forbidden, forbidden, forbidden...the imperial guards have surrounded the Shangshu Mansion!"

"This is simply unreasonable!" Hong Shangshu was shocked and angry, and walked out, "Send the order for all the guards to assemble!"

Outside the gate of Shangshu's Mansion, a dense crowd of guards stood in rows. The first row of guards all held torches, lighting up the front yard of Shangshu's Mansion.

Hong Shangshu walked out with a sullen face, and at a glance he saw Chu Qinghuang sitting on the horse at the front. He suppressed his anger and said, "What are you doing, Your Highness, the Princess?"

"I have found evidence that Hong Shangshu is corrupt and has violated the law. I am bringing the imperial guards to search his house tonight." Chu Qinghuang looked at him condescendingly, her eyes calm and indifferent, showing no emotion at all. "If Hong Shangshu dares to stop me from handling the case, I will Resist the decree.”

"Resist the edict?" Hong Shangshu said coldly, "I have not received the emperor's edict, so how can I resist the edict?"

"The emperor has given me the privilege of searching the house. I am here to handle the case tonight." Chu Qinghuang said coldly, "Fucang!"

Fu Cang rushed over quickly, offering the order talisman and the golden book with both hands.

"This is my order talisman." Chu Qinghuang picked up the order talisman and showed it in front of Hong Shangshu, "Master Hong——"

"Stop!" The sound of horse hooves came galloping over, and Chu Tianyin, the leader, said angrily, "Seventh sister, what do you want to do? You brought so many guards here at night, did you get the approval of the emperor's imperial decree?"

Seeing that Chu Tianyin arrived in time, Hong Shangshu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But soon he would realize that it was too early to relax.

"I have received a secret report that Hong Shangshu was corrupt and perverted the law, and took advantage of his power to seek ill-gotten wealth. He should be punished according to crime!" Chu Qinghuang's eyes were cold, "Whoever dares to stop the handling of the case will be taken down!"

Chu Tianyin's face was livid: "That's nonsense! Hong Shangshu has been an official for many years and has always been upright and selfless. How can I allow you to slander me at will with your red lips and white teeth? Qimei, don't go too far!"

Chu Qinghuang was too lazy to talk to him and raised her hand: "Act!"

Chu Tianyin shouted angrily: "Guards, stop me!"

"Anyone who blocks his path will be shot to death!"

Suddenly, there was a murderous atmosphere in Shangshu's Mansion. All the guards of Shangshu's Mansion gathered in the wide front yard, holding swords, forming a blocking confrontation.

"Tonight, I have ordered to seize the Shangshu Mansion. Who dares to stop and resist the order?" Chu Qinghuang looked around, and his tone was cold and ruthless, "I will spare the life of anyone who voluntarily puts down his weapons, otherwise I will fight with him." The Hong family will be imprisoned together, and if the circumstances are serious, the three clans will be killed!"

After the words fell, the guards looked at each other with hesitation on their faces.

Under normal circumstances, they would have followed the orders of the Third Prince and Master Shangshu, but the person who led the troops to ransack the house tonight was the Seventh Princess - the Seventh Princess who had just been named the eldest princess by the emperor, and she was ruthless. host!

And the house was confiscated under orders...

Bang!

I don’t know who was the first to throw down the weapon, and knelt down with a thud: "The Holy Will cannot be violated. Please spare the family members of the humble family!"

Then there was the sound of clang, clang, clang, weapons one after another, and he knelt down and begged: "Please, Your Highness, please spare the family members who hold such humble positions!"

It is not a pity for them to die themselves, but if their family members are involved...

"Who told you to lay down your weapons? Do you want to die?" Chu Tianyin's expression changed and he roared angrily, "Rebels should be executed by Lingchi! Those who dare to lay down their weapons, I will not spare you!"
