Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Yi Qing gently nudged Li Shuangmiao, who glared at Yi Qing angrily, but reluctantly said, "Okay, I will listen to you, Your Highness. Then, Your Highness, when will you come to my room to see me?"

Ling Heng was very annoyed and said in a cold voice: "When I have time, I will come to see you. You should take good care of your pregnancy."

After saying that, he turned away.

Butler Luo carefully selected three old women, three maids, and two servants. Before the girl left, she instructed that these people must be selected carefully.

The Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple, the three major government offices, stepped forward to handle the case, and the case was quickly solved. In the evening of the next day, after being summarized by the three departments, the case file written by Lu Dongqing was presented to the desk of Emperor Jingzhang.

Lu Dongqing, dressed in a Feiyu suit, stood upright and said, "Your Majesty, the case has been investigated. The house that caught fire was doused with fuel oil, and the fire spread quickly. Before long, the whole house was engulfed in fire, so the people in the villa have been unable to put out the fire."

Emperor Jingzhang's face was icy: "It was fine. Even if fuel oil was poured, it would not have started a fire. Have you found out who set the fire?"

Lu Dongqing said without hesitation: "The maidservant beside Concubine Shu. When I arrived, she and Concubine Shu were about to go down the mountain, but were stopped by Old Master Zhu."

"Are you saying that Wan Yuzhi instigated her to set the fire?"

"From the evidence of the on-site investigation, it is indeed the case. Someone discovered that this nanny had been to the crime scene a quarter of an hour before the incident. Moreover, after the investigation by the Ministry of Justice, incense was found in the ruins."

Emperor Jingzhang was so angry that he slammed his fist on the imperial desk: "Wan Yuzhi, this vicious woman, vicious woman! What did you find out? Go on!"

Lu Dongqing: "Yes, Nanny has already explained that Concubine Wan Shu was jealous of His Royal Highness Prince Heng marrying the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, and was afraid that His Royal Highness Prince Heng's power would grow and threaten the Fifth Prince, so she came up with this plan."

"She first forced Her Royal Highness the Princess to write an invitation to invite Princess Heng to attend the plum blossom viewing banquet, and then forced Concubine Duan and the Princess to lead everyone to the Bishuiquan Villa. Princess Heng didn't want to go at first, but because the Imperial Concubine forced her to go, and she secretly sent someone to order the carriage of the Prince Heng's mansion to leave first, Princess Heng had no choice but to go with them."

"Empress Duan and Princess Long felt that something was wrong and were afraid of bringing disaster upon themselves, so they left Bishuiquan Villa early."

Emperor Jingzhang certainly knew who owned Bishuiquan Villa. Although Lu Dongqing did not say it explicitly, how could he not know that Wan Yuzhi was trying to frame the Sixth Prince? He was furious: "This vicious woman, what a vicious mind!"

Lu Dongqing, who was standing below, had his back straight. It was clear that Concubine Wan Shu had evil intentions, but she lacked wisdom and strategy. She failed to outwit others and ended up getting hurt.

Lu Dongqing: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine refuses to plead guilty and keeps clamoring to see you."

Emperor Jingzhang snorted coldly: "Humph, she still has the nerve to see me, tell her that I will not see her!"

"Yes." Lu Dongqing did not leave, but waited for Emperor Jingzhang's decision on Wan Yuzhi.

Emperor Jingzhang took a deep breath and said, "Since the evidence is irrefutable, I hereby decree that Wan Yuzhi's actions are so ruthless that she will be stripped of her title of Imperial Concubine and demoted to a commoner from today onwards. The Ministry of Justice will decide the rest according to the law."

Lu Dongqing hesitated for a moment before he cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I obey your order."

Zhang Desheng was shocked. The punishment for Concubine Shu was beyond his expectations. He originally thought that at most she would be stripped of her title and sent to the cold palace. He never thought that the emperor would hand her over directly to the Ministry of Justice.

From this we can see that General Li has an invincible Li family army of 300,000, and the emperor dare not offend him easily.

After Lu Dongqing left, Zhang Desheng made a cup of hot tea for Emperor Jingzhang, carefully placed it beside him, and said, "Your Majesty, Lady Shu Guifei is your concubine after all, and her status is noble. According to the law of the Ministry of Justice, then His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince..."

This is his duty as an old eunuch. He knows that the emperor will definitely think of it, but he has to do it.

Emperor Jingzhang snorted coldly: "Severely punishing Wan Yuzhi is my attitude towards Li Huaiying. Lao Wu is my son, he should know what is important and what is not."

Zhang Desheng naturally didn't say much.

The fifth prince Ling Yan was kneeling outside the palace, and Lu Dongqing walked past him indifferently.

"Commander Lu." Ling Yan called him.

Lu Dongqing stopped, turned around and bowed calmly: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, do you have any instructions for me?"

"My mother..."

"Your Highness, the emperor is subject to the same punishment as the common people when he breaks the law." After saying this, he turned around and left.

Ling Yan lost all strength and fell to the ground.

Zhang Desheng hurriedly took two steps, helped Ling Yan up, and whispered in his ear: "Fifth Prince, the Emperor asked this old servant to bring you a message."

Ling Yan looked at Zhang Desheng blankly.

"The fifth son is my son. Now that the war in the northwest is tense, he should know what is important and what is not." After saying that, Zhang Desheng took two steps back, bowed to him again, and went back to the palace to serve Emperor Jingzhang.

Hot tears rolled down Ling Yan's face.

Because Li Huaiying commanded 300,000 Li family troops and guarded the northwest border, firmly blocking the Northern Qi cavalry outside the pass, his father had to sacrifice his mother in order to give Li Huaiying an explanation.

People say that the royal family is ruthless, but it turns out they can really be this ruthless.

For the sake of a minister, he could disregard the years of love between husband and wife, and the affection between father and son.

After a while, the eunuch beside him whispered, "Sixth Prince, Lord Wan is still waiting for you."

The next morning, the Ministry of Justice submitted a memorial: "Your Majesty, the case that happened at the Bishuiquan Villa the day before yesterday has been investigated. Please review it."

Emperor Jingzhang flipped through the pages and looked at his ministers: "My dear ministers, what do you have to say?"

Everyone was well-informed, and as soon as the incident happened yesterday, they sent their servants to inquire around.

In addition, half of the children of the court officials are still detained in Bishuiquan Villa and have not come down. How could they not understand?

For the sake of her son, Concubine Shu did not hesitate to let the nanny beside her set fire to Princess Heng and killed her. She also tried to put the blame on Concubine Duan and His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince. Not only that, she also dragged His Royal Highness the Princess into it.

Now they just hope that the case will be settled as soon as possible so that they can bring their children back home and stay at home during this period of time.

In addition, he was not only afraid of offending the Minister of Personnel Wan Liming, but also afraid of offending the General's Mansion which controlled a large number of troops.

Then, the whole hall fell silent.

"Minister Wan, Wan Yuzhi is your daughter, please tell me about it."

Wan Liming stepped out of the line and said, "Your Majesty has governed the world with benevolence since he ascended the throne. The unfilial daughter Wan Yuzhi committed a serious mistake and used cruel means. Please order your Majesty to punish her according to the law."

Emperor Jingzhang looked at him coldly: "You are willing to do so."

"I have failed to teach my daughter well. Your Majesty, please punish me according to the law." Wan Liming bowed his head and kowtowed.

The ministers in the hall looked at each other with their eyes on the nose and their noses on their hearts. It seemed that Minister Wan was going to sacrifice Concubine Shu for the sake of his official hat and for the sake of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince.
