Perhaps it was because the sympathy in the shadow guard's eyes could not be hidden well, or perhaps the Emperor of Yan was too sensitive now, but when he saw the look in the shadow guard's eyes, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Great Yan Emperor pressed his chest and waited until the blackening symptoms in front of his eyes disappeared before he spoke through gritted teeth.

He laughed in anger: "Yes, Master Qu is very smart. If he wants to win over the entire court, isn't it easy?"

"If I hadn't checked, I wouldn't have known that the Minister of War was a man of Master Qu! I really have a wolf in my arms!"

“Your Majesty, the great Taoist Qu has grown strong. It may be difficult to take him down in one fell swoop.” The shadow guard carefully suggested that the Emperor of Dayan take it step by step.

After hearing this, the Emperor of Dayan was so angry that he almost vomited out the blood he had just swallowed.

Who doesn't understand this? If he could have directly captured Master Qu, he would have issued an order long ago. Why was he so angry that he had to swallow his blood and spit it out?

"The Queen Mother's birthday banquet is coming soon. Invite them all into the palace that day. I will catch them all in one fell swoop!" The Emperor of Dayan's eyes flickered and were extremely gloomy.

At this time, the Assistant Minister of War was walking triumphantly on his way home when he was suddenly stopped by someone.

When he and others arrived at a secret teahouse, he found out that it was Master Qu who was looking for him.

Master Qu has been quite busy lately.

Something happened in the dungeon of Qu Mansion. He used all his strength but failed to find the person. This made him a little uneasy.

He always felt that there was an invisible enemy hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike him.

But he had no idea about that person, and this feeling made him feel uneasy.

I have been busy looking for people during this period and have not paid attention to the affairs of the court.

Today, when I heard that the Minister of War was jumping around among the ministers in the court, I felt that it was not normal, so I quickly called him over to ask him about it.

Qu looked at the Minister of War standing in front of him with his hands hanging down, and asked, "What's wrong with you recently?"

The Minister of War recalled the dream Jiao Niang told him when he woke up this morning.

In the dream, Master Qu did something that displeased the emperor, and soon the emperor would attack Master Qu.

But at the critical moment, Master Qu would push his confidant out to take the blame, and finally the entire Vice Minister's Office of the Ministry of War was punished by the Emperor.

Thinking of this prophetic dream, and looking at Master Qu who was now sitting in front of him, ordering a dog around like a master, the Minister of War suddenly felt unwilling.

Jiao Niang didn't know that he was Master Qu's man. It can be said that very few people knew this secret, and Jiao Niang, who was in the back house, had no chance of knowing it at all.

So when Jiao Niang told him this dream, he believed it immediately.

And feel deeply angry!

However, thinking of Master Qu's ability, he felt that he just needed to avoid Master Qu recently.

But now he suddenly had an idea.

If he could avoid being pushed out as a shield by Master Qu, and once Master Qu was liquidated by the emperor, it would not be impossible for him to replace Master Qu!

After all, he has his great treasure, Jiao Niang!

How could the Minister of War, who had ulterior motives, tell everything to Master Qu?

He kept Jiao Niang's affairs a secret, and Master Qu did not have Qu Xinyue's ability. Although he felt that something was wrong with the Minister of War, he did not know what was wrong.

Unable to get to the bottom of the matter, he could only give the Minister of War a warning in a stern voice.

The Minister of War left the teahouse and went back to prepare all the evidence that Master Qu formed a clique for personal gain, embezzled disaster relief funds, framed loyal ministers and generals, etc., plus the evidence he had forged himself.

The conditions and requirements are so numerous that it is difficult to list them all!

As the Minister of War who is a close confidant of Master Qu, it will not be easy for him to get these evidences.

When the Minister of War was taken away by the Emperor of Yan's shadow guards, he took the initiative to bring out all the evidence he had sorted out.

……

The shadow guard brought the Minister of War before the Emperor of Yan. Before the shadow guard could open his mouth to report, the Minister of War had already slid to his knees on the ground with a plop and shouted.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

The Emperor of Dayan was stunned. He swallowed the words of intimidation he was about to use and asked in a playful tone.

"What do you want to tell me, my dear?"

The Assistant Minister of War immediately opened the package he had brought, and piles of evidence were instantly placed in front of the Emperor of Dayan.

"These are all evidences of the crimes committed by Master Qu. I have long been aware that Master Qu has evil intentions, so I have been hiding beside Master Qu to collect evidence..."

The shadow guards standing by twitched their lips when they heard this. If they had not been staring at the Minister of War, they would have believed what he said.

However, we do need an important witness to testify against Master Qu now. It seems that the Emperor will not punish the Minister of War in the short term.

The Vice Minister of the Ministry of War came from a humble family, but was able to become the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War because he was well versed in the ways of scheming and gaining personal advantage.

How could he not know what the shadow guard was thinking?

No, the Minister of War knew the whole story.

But he didn't care at all.

The Minister of War clearly remembered the prophetic dream of his beloved wife.

Now this emperor is going to die in half a year.

As long as he can survive these six months and behave more in front of the little prince, he will be able to follow the emperor and be promoted to a higher position in the future!

The Minister of War, who was deeply trapped in a beautiful dream, never thought that he might have predicted that the dream was a trap...

The Emperor of Dayan looked through the evidence presented by the Minister of War. As time passed, his face became frighteningly gloomy and he was burning with anger.

"How ridiculous! He is simply a traitor!" The Emperor of Dayan slammed the table with such force that even the shadow guards felt pain just watching.

After looking through all the evidence, the Great Yan Emperor looked at the Minister of War with cold and serious eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"I'm asking you, have Grand Master Qu and Concubine Shu ever met in private?"

When the Emperor of Dayan asked this question, he still found it a little difficult to speak. After all, he was sitting at the pinnacle of power, but he had to admit that he was cheated on.

Moreover, the two people who cheated on him were a Taoist priest whom he trusted very much and a concubine whom he loved very much.

This double betrayal and double stimulation made him hate it so much that he gritted his teeth even in his dreams.

Although the Emperor of Great Yan spoke rather obscurely, the official and minister of the Ministry of War still understood it.

He was surprised at first, but soon calmed down, and even felt that the opportunity to kill Master Qu had come!

Let’s talk about Master Qu and Concubine Shu.

The Assistant Minister of War, who helped Master Qu deal with many things, was still clear about it.

There is nothing wrong with these two people!

It can be said that Master Qu looked down on Concubine Shu, but Master Qu did help Concubine Shu and asked her to help with some things.

Normally, it was these subordinates who came into contact with Concubine Shu.

The Minister of War took a deep breath and glanced at the evidence he had presented on the desk.

Anyway, the things inside are half true and half false, and it is hard to tell the real from the fake.

This one thing is not a big deal, he said nonsense seriously, and reported to the Emperor of Dayan in a deep voice: "Master Qu is indeed in close contact with the Concubine Shu."

They have a lot of private contact... They have a lot of private contact... They have a lot of private contact...

This sentence has become an endless loop in the Great Yan Emperor's mind, and he feels so green and glowing.

He was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the ground, his brows were raised, he laughed in anger, and his voice was cold.

"I want him dead, I want this couple to die!"

However, although the Emperor of Yan was extremely angry, he still had some rationality.

Now more than half of the people in the court are Qu Da Tianshi's men. Even though there are witnesses and evidence now, it is not easy to arrest Qu Da Tianshi.

He was afraid that Master Qu's dying struggle would lead to civil strife in the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Great Yan Emperor wanted to deal with Master Qu without bloodshed.

The first thing he did was to find some excuse during the court session to strip all of Master Qu Da Tianshi's men of their official uniforms on charges of crimes.

At the beginning, the Emperor of Great Yan only moved a few ministers on the periphery, and it did not attract anyone's attention.

When the Emperor of Great Yan started to attack the people of Grand Master Qu, Jing Rui and Qu Xinyue who lived in the Sixth Princess's Mansion received the news immediately.

The official positions in the court are all filled individually. As long as someone gives up his position, someone else will immediately fill it.

The two men went to see Guan Xiang and said to him, "You can place your own people now."

They had already discussed this plan a long time ago, and Guan Xiang had been preparing for it during this period.

We have already found people to fill the positions, and now finally there is a major purge in the court. If we don't fill the positions in time now, when will we?

The Emperor of Great Yan suddenly changed his attitude, and officials in the court were stripped of their official uniforms for several days.

For a time, the entire court of Dayan was in a state of panic.

When everyone smelled something unusual and became nervous, Qu Xinyue casually asked Nanzhi to remove her makeup and restore her original appearance.

She is now much taller than when she left Dayan, and her facial features have become more developed.

At first glance, her forehead is smooth, her nose is straight, and her lips are plump.

With a pair of grey eyes, her temperament is pure, like a goddess descending to earth.

If Qu Xinyue stood together with Qu Xinbao today, no one would think that they were cut from the same mold.

But if you look closely, you can still find some traces of the past.

Qu Xinyue was wearing a plain white dress and was preparing to go out with two elite maids who were good at fighting skills.

Jing Rui was discussing the personnel arrangements for the six ministries of the court with Guan Xiang. Grandpa Huo and Ah Hu were listening in. Suddenly, they smelled a fragrance that sounded like flowers, but was not a flower, and unconsciously looked up.

He hadn't seen Qu Xinyue's true face for a long time. When he suddenly saw Qu Xinyue's true face, he felt suddenly shocked by her beauty.

Because Guan Xiang didn't know that the Sixth Princess was Qu Xinyue in disguise, Jing Rui didn't say hello but just watched Qu Xinyue leave.

With two elite maids protecting her in public and people arranged by him in secret, Jing Rui was not too worried about Qu Xinyue going out this time.

But he still felt regretful that he couldn't be by his side.

But Yueyue said that the chaos in the court would attract the attention of Master Qu. If Master Qu gave up looking for people and returned directly to the court to reorganize, the current good situation would be broken.

As the emperor of Hanjiang, he would be easily exposed if he showed up.

If you meet him, you will definitely guess it is the Sixth Princess's Mansion.

So tonight, Qu Xinyue could only go out alone, and deliberately passed in front of Master Qu to attract his attention.

There is only one purpose - to let Master Qu continue to look for people outside!

This way they would have more time to cooperate with the Emperor of Great Yan and remove all of Master Qu's people in the court one by one.

Guan Xiang stared at Qu Xinyue's back in confusion, with a look of doubt in his eyes.

"Who is this person? Why haven't I seen her in the Sixth Princess's Mansion?"

Today, the elite maid beside Qu Xinyue has been replaced, and Qu Xinyue usually wears a large cloak when she pretends to be the sixth princess.

Covering himself completely in the cloak, Guan Xiang had no idea that the person in front of him was the Sixth Princess whom he called affectionately every day.

Grandpa Huo could see that, firstly, he relied on his age and experience, and secondly, he himself was born into a family of Taoist priests. Even if he was not as powerful as Qu Xinyue, he still had some skills.

However, he could also see that the people living in the Sixth Princess's Mansion were not bad people, and some even did him a favor.

He simply pretended not to know these things.

Compared to Guan Xiang's confusion, Ah Hu's eyes flickered.

When he woke up, he could recognize Qu Xinyue wrapped in a cloak at a glance, and now he can also recognize Qu Xinyue with her unparalleled charm.

But now Qu Xinyue's beautiful face was unexpectedly beautiful, and it made his heart beat violently.

Qu Xinyue was unaware of the lawsuits going on in the hearts of several people behind her. She went to Chunxi Road under the strict protection of the bright and dark elites.

She calculated that Qu Xinbao would buy jewelry at Yuebao Pavilion on Chunxi Road today.

Qu Xinyue is a person who will never let go of a grudge. After coming back to Dayan for such a long time, she has only collected some interest on her grudge against Qu Xinbao.

Letting Qu Xinbao jump around for so long is already her limit. Today is the day to deal with Qu Xinbao.

As they were talking, Qu Xinyue had already arrived at Yuebao Pavilion in an unmarked carriage.

She had an elegant temperament and stood out even in a crowd, even with a maid serving her.

You can tell at first glance that he is a well-off person!

As soon as I entered Yuebao Pavilion, the store owner came to greet me with a smile.

Qu Xinyue asked directly: "I heard that there is a new batch of jewelry today, I want to take a look."

When she lived in Qu's mansion, every time Yuebao Pavilion released new jewelry, Qu Xinbao would visit Yuebao Pavilion, and after buying jewelry, he liked to show off in front of her.

She had heard Qu Xinbao boast before that Yuebao Pavilion would entertain big customers like Qu Xinbao alone upstairs.

Sure enough, when the shopkeeper heard her say to look at the new models, he immediately explained with a bitter face.

"Why don't you take a look at the styles in the store's display cabinets first? There are many classic styles here. If you are still not satisfied after you have looked at these styles, it won't be too late for us to go upstairs and look at the new styles."

Qu Xinyue pressed the shopkeeper with a smile and asked, "Is there anyone looking at new models and it's inconvenient to entertain them?"

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly and bowed repeatedly to apologize.

Qu Xinyue suddenly smiled, waved her hand nonchalantly, and said: "To be honest, I have a relationship with Miss Qu upstairs. Shopkeeper, do you think I look a bit like her?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper of Yuebao Pavilion looked at Qu Xinyue carefully, his expression suddenly became enlightened and a smile appeared on his face.

"So you are Miss Qu's relative. I will take you upstairs."

Qu Xinyue immediately smiled and nodded, looking good-tempered and not looking for trouble at all.

When the shopkeeper led her to the door of the private room upstairs, Qu Xinyue said to the shopkeeper, "Please knock on the door, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper knocked on the door politely as he was told. Qu Xinbao was concentrating on choosing jewelry in the room. Suddenly interrupted, she raised her voice and asked unhappily, "Who is it?"

Qu Xinyue pushed open the door, walked in with a smile, and said slowly: "It's me, I'm back."
