No matter whether he could spare his life or not, he could not stop the imperial guards from raiding his house with such momentum and speed.

Seeing the chaos in which the Shangshu Mansion was powerless to resist under the guard Meng Chuang, Hong Shangshu was so angry that he almost wanted to hit the wall: "The eldest princess has gone too far to bully others!"

Chu Qinghuang was indifferent.

At this moment, there was another sound of horse hoofbeats. Hong Yue, who was riding back in a carriage, hurriedly got out of the carriage. He looked up and saw Chu Qinghuang sitting on the horse, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

Did she really lead people to raid the Shangshu Mansion?

Just because he didn't apologize to Wen Zhan?

Uncontrollably staggering, Hong Yue stepped forward quickly, looked up at the woman sitting on the horse, and asked coldly: "Your Highness the Princess's behavior is simply ridiculous! For the sake of a humble servant, she actually did it." Come to inspect the residence of a second-rank minister, who gave this authority to the eldest princess?"

Chu Qinghuang's eyes were cold and he didn't say a word.

"Why don't you speak, Your Highness the Princess?" Hong Yue gritted his teeth, "My father is a second-rank official, why do you—"

"Just because Hong Shangshu took bribes and violated the law, he deserves to be punished." Chu Qinghuang's voice was as cold as the cold, which shocked Hong Yue's expression on the spot. "Hong Yue, do you think I am joking with you?"

"My father is corrupt and perverting the law?" Hong Yue said angrily, "What evidence does the eldest princess have?"

"Don't be impatient." Chu Qinghuang gave him a cold look, "The evidence will be put in front of you soon, and I will make your family die convinced."

Hong Yue sank, and the ominous premonition in his heart gradually deepened.

She was telling the truth, her tone was so sure... No, it's impossible!

"Seventh sister!" Chu Tianyin walked up to the horse. The man who was angry just a moment ago was now anxious and furious, and even his tone softened, "What's wrong with you? Is someone here? You are sowing discord in front of me, so you seem to have become a different person recently, Qimei, Jinzhi likes you so much——"

"Can you shut up?" Chu Qinghuang frowned, "Don't mention Feng Jinzhi in front of me. I feel sick to my stomach when I hear his name."

This night is destined to be restless.

There was an uneasy atmosphere inside and outside the palace that was about to come.

The emperor was sitting in Yuqian Palace and heard the commander of the imperial guards hurriedly report: "Your Majesty!"

His Majesty the Emperor raised his head and frowned: "Why are you so worried?"

"Seventh Princess... no, it is Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, who has surrounded the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance with three thousand guards." The commander of the imperial army knelt on the ground, "The third prince tried his best to stop it, but to no avail. Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess did not listen to anyone. He is determined to seize the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance!"

The emperor was surprised: "The House of Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

"yes."

The emperor fell silent, thinking of the promise Chu Qinghuang had asked for from him before. No matter what she did, she asked him, his father, to turn a blind eye.

So, the first thing she copied was the Minister of Household Affairs?

"Your Majesty, do you want to send someone to stop Her Royal Highness the Princess's actions?"

"No need." The emperor looked up at him and ordered in a deep voice, "Immediately arrange for the imperial guards to guard the nine gates. No one in the palace is allowed to leave the palace tonight, and no one from outside the palace is allowed in."

The commander of the imperial army was stunned. Is the emperor supporting the actions of His Royal Highness the eldest princess?

"What are you still doing?"

"Yes!" The commander of the Forbidden Army respectfully accepted the order, "I will make arrangements now."

After the commander of the imperial army left, His Majesty the Emperor sat alone behind the dragon case, looking at the piles of memorials on the case in a daze.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance has done a lot of things secretly over the years, and he should have made enough money. The Hong family is in charge of the financial power of the treasury, and has the backing of the Queen Mother. It can be said that these years have been extremely prosperous and their backs are particularly straight.

He had always known that the Hong family was unclean, but he never had the chance to do anything to the Hong family.

The forces in the court can affect the whole body. Even as an emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants. There are too many things to worry about. He must not only maintain the mother-son relationship with the Queen Mother, but also balance the courtiers of the major families. The forces between each other, and we have to worry about the consequences of everything we do...

In short, if you sit in this position, you will become unable to control many things, and you will not be able to do many things you want to do.

Unexpectedly, this daughter acted swiftly and decisively.

"Qinghuang is simply my lucky star." The emperor murmured to himself, with a hint of sadness in his tone, "Maybe she is the only one who can do these things that I have always wanted to do but never dared to do without any worries."

The palace people stood with lowered eyebrows and eyes, as if they were in the air. Even if they heard the emperor's words, they never dared to take it into their hearts.
