Shock in the court!

The Bai family in Tongzhou occupied land, amassed money wantonly, and committed all kinds of evil. The people only asked for justice with the blood of thousands of people.

The emperor was furious after hearing the news. He ordered the eldest prince and Tongzhou prefect Lu Xuan to investigate the matter carefully and never let off any evildoer.

Not only that, Uncle Yongning only wore his middle coat and carried a thorn bush to plead guilty, and Concubine Bai also went to the small Buddhist hall to chant sutras every day, just to alleviate the Bai family's sins.

But the emperor still revoked his title and fined Concubine Bai a year's salary.

For a time, the Bai family lost all face in the capital. In the past, it was a busy place, but in just a few days, no one cared about it, and the people passing by even spat a few times.

In this way, it suppressed the prince's unfavorable situation in running errands.

"My uncle is also a sinister person. He lost the entire Bai family once he entered the palace."

The emperor originally did not intend to touch Uncle Yong Ning and Concubine Bai, but after Prince An took out the blood letter, he immediately changed his mind with a ferocious face.

However, their goal has been achieved. The eldest prince has indeed participated in the government affairs, but the first errand is to investigate his maternal family, which is really interesting.

Sitting around the stove, Lin Wanyan silently praised Prince An in her heart, and then picked up the roasted chestnuts, blowing on them while she peeled them off.

The little girl's white and tender fingertips were immediately stained with a layer of blush. While playing with the chestnuts, she kept pinching her earlobes because they were too hot. Her hurried look made everyone shake their heads and laugh.

"Concubine Bai also didn't expect that Lu Xuan would sell her out completely." Even the letter she sent was handed over to the emperor. It was really a waste of money.

Putting the chestnuts he peeled in the little girl's hand, Ouyang Jing calmly took the one in her hand and peeled off the shell in a few clicks.

"Speaking of the Fan Yang Lu family, it seems that Lu Xuan is the only one who is an official in the court now." The rest are either unwilling to serve as officials, or they are following the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

To put it bluntly, I don’t know what to do, and elegance comes first.

Clicking his tongue, Lin Shuoming couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

"You can only make friends with Lu Xuan, not win over him. If the eldest prince wants to do anything secretly, I'm afraid he will suffer a lot."

Today I went to the study to take a rest, and Gu Han also rushed over from Prince An's Mansion.

He read the whole book, and with the help of King An, he memorized the likes and dislikes of most of the courtiers, and this Lu Xuan happened to be memorized by him.

"How about we make a bet? Guess whether the eldest prince will kill his relatives for justice or bend the law for personal gain." With her cheeks filled with chestnuts, Lin Wanyan waved her hand and immediately drew a line.

"I guess he will secretly protect the Bai clan." Even at the risk of being discovered by Lu Xuan and reprimanded by the emperor, the eldest prince would never kill them all.

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanyan put on her red gold Pan Chi collar.

"I also bet that he can do tricks." Ouyang Jing took off the jade pendant from his waist and put it in the little girl's hand.

After scratching his head, Lin Shuoming held half a piece of jade with tangled eyes, "In this case, I won't dare to move rashly because of him."

"Me too." The fifth princess and Gu Ze took out their chips.

In the end, only Gu Han was left. The dignified young man took out a stack of banknotes, raised his eyebrows and said, "I bet, Yan Yan wins."
