After the power vortex in the palace gradually subsided, Wang Yuan's fate also ushered in a turning point. After careful consideration by Chen Jue and the prince, Wang Yuan was finally forgiven in view of Wang Hui's active performance in assisting in punishing corrupt officials and the sincerity shown by the Wang family.

On this day, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the palace courtyard, adding a soft atmosphere to the solemn palace. After Wang Yuan learned that she was forgiven, she sat alone in front of the window in the room, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.

She felt grateful for surviving the disaster, which was a kind of gratitude from the bottom of her heart for the continuation of life; she felt deep regret for her past mistakes, as she recalled what she had done, the consequences brought about by jealousy and impulse, and her heart was filled with self-blame; she also felt confusion and expectations about the future, as she knew that she had to make a complete change in order to regain the trust and respect of others.

She looked quietly at the sky outside the window and took a deep breath, as if to spit out all the haze of the past and welcome a new beginning.

When Wang Hui learned that his sister Wang Yuan had been forgiven, he felt relieved. He immediately prepared generous gifts and went to the prince's palace to express his gratitude.

Wang Hui was wearing a brand new dark blue robe with delicate and elegant patterns, showing the importance he attached to this visit. He walked steadily through the long corridor of the palace. The walls on both sides of the corridor were carved with exquisite patterns, telling the long history and glory of the palace.

With every step he took, his heart was filled with gratitude and respect for the prince and Chen Jue.

Arriving in front of the prince's palace, Wang Hui straightened his clothes and respectfully informed the guards at the door. After entering the palace, he saw the prince and Chen Jue sitting in the hall discussing matters. Wang Hui quickly stepped forward, knelt on both knees, and bowed deeply.

"Your Highness, Lord Chen, I am here today to thank you both for your kindness." Wang Hui raised his head, his eyes filled with sincere emotion, his voice trembling slightly, "If it weren't for your generosity and compassion, my sister Wang Yuan would have died long ago. This kindness is beyond the reach of my Wang family."

His hands were clenched tightly together and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead due to excitement.

The prince raised his hand slightly, motioning Wang Hui to stand up, and said gently: "Wang Hui, although your sister made a mistake, we all see your contribution to the court. This time we forgive Wang Yuan in the hope that she can reform and serve the court in the future."

The prince's eyes revealed his admiration for Wang Hui and his expectations for Wang Yuan. His tone was steady and majestic, making people feel his broad mind and magnanimity.

Wang Hui stood up and bowed to the Crown Prince and Chen Jue again to express his gratitude. He looked at the Crown Prince firmly and said, "Your Highness, I, Wang Hui, will always remember your kindness and will never forget it in my lifetime."

There were tears in Wang Hui's eyes, which were filled with emotion and respect from the bottom of his heart.

After a pause, Wang Hui continued, "Your Highness, I, Wang Hui, solemnly swear to you that my family and I will always be loyal to you, even if it means death. From now on, as long as it is your order, I, Wang Hui, will execute it without hesitation. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will move forward bravely and never retreat."

"Wang Hui, I hope you can turn this loyalty into practical actions and do more practical things for the court and the people."

Wang Hui nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best."

"Although a number of corrupt officials in the court have been investigated and punished, there are still some remnants that have not been eliminated. We need to further strengthen the crackdown on corrupt officials. Are you willing to help us?"

"Your Highness, I have no choice but to accept your request."

"Okay, then you should get ready and discuss the follow-up action plan with Chen Jue."

Wang Hui bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. I will do my best and live up to your trust."

In the court's campaign to crack down on corrupt officials, Wang Hui and Chen Jue were tasked with an important mission to search the mansions of corrupt officials. One day, they led a team of guards to a luxurious mansion.

This mansion has high walls and a closed gate. The plaque on the lintel shows the owner's former prominent status. However, now it has become a symbol of sin, waiting for justice.

Wang Hui and Chen Jue looked serious, as they knew the importance and difficulty of this mission. Wang Hui was dressed in a black suit with a sharp sword on his waist, and he looked energetic and full of energy.

Chen Jue was dressed in a blue robe, with a refined and determined demeanor, and his eyes sparkled with wisdom and courage.

The guards knocked hard on the door, and panicked footsteps were heard from inside. After a while, a man who looked like a butler opened the door tremblingly, and when he saw the scene outside, his face turned pale as paper.

"I'm here to search the mansion on the orders of the Crown Prince!" Wang Hui shouted loudly, his voice loud and majestic.

The butler looked at them in horror and stammered, "My lords, what...what is going on?"

Chen Jue sneered: "Humph, your master is guilty of corruption and bribery, the evidence is irrefutable, today we are here to settle accounts with him!"

After that, Wang Hui and Chen Jue led the guards to file in. The scene in the mansion was extremely luxurious, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner, and exotic flowers and plants in the garden competing for splendor, but at this moment, there was an atmosphere of tension and fear.

The corrupt officials and their families were gathered in the courtyard. They all looked terrified and their eyes were filled with anxiety. When the corrupt official saw Chen Jue and Wang Hui, a trace of resentment and anger flashed in his eyes.

"Chen Jue, you despicable villain! Why did you frame me? I have worked diligently for the court for many years, but you fabricated charges against me!" The corrupt official suddenly cursed loudly, trying to excuse his crimes.

Chen Jue's face darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and responded coldly: "You work diligently for the court? What a joke! You embezzled and accepted bribes, enriched yourself, and the people suffered because of you. You still have the nerve to say that you work diligently? The evidence of your crimes is conclusive, and there is no room for you to quibble!"

"You are talking nonsense! You are jealous of me and you are deliberately framing me! Do you think you can succeed like this? I tell you, I will not let this go!"

The corrupt official continued to curse viciously, trying to attack Chen Jue with words.

Chen Jue took a step forward, looked directly into the corrupt official's eyes, and said righteously: "Jealous of you? What is there for me to be jealous of? The wealth and status you have were all obtained through improper means. Do you think you can escape the punishment of the law? Today is the day for you to pay the price for your crimes!"

"you you……"

The corrupt official was speechless after hearing what Chen Jue said, and his face turned pale and blue.

At this time, Wang Hui also stepped forward and said loudly: "Don't struggle in vain! We have sufficient evidence. The money you embezzled and the bribes you accepted are all clear. Do you think you can get away with it? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and brave, and he is determined to eradicate corruption in the court. You are a typical example!"

The corrupt officials' families also began to cry and make a fuss, trying to interfere with the search and seizure operation.

"You can't treat our master like this, he is innocent!" a woman cried.

Chen Jue was unmoved. He ordered the guards, "Count all the valuables in the mansion. Don't let anything go! No one is allowed to interfere with the search. Anyone who disobeys will be punished!"

The guards immediately took action, rushing into each room and starting to search through all the boxes and cabinets. Wang Hui kept a close eye on the corrupt officials and their families to prevent them from taking any radical actions.

In a study, the guards discovered a hidden secret room. After Chen Jue and Wang Hui learned about it, they immediately rushed to the scene. When they opened the door of the secret room, they found it was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, precious calligraphy and paintings, and a large number of banknotes.

"Humph, look at these, this is the evidence of your corruption! What else do you have to say?" Chen Jue pointed at the property in the secret room and said to the corrupt official.

The corrupt official lowered his head and said no more words, for he knew he could no longer escape the blame.

During the search and seizure, the corrupt official's followers kept coming to plead for him, trying to exonerate him, but Chen Jue and Wang Hui resolutely rejected them and mercilessly recorded all of them in the file for subsequent investigation.

"These corrupt officials colluded with each other and thought they could cover the sky with one hand. We must not let them succeed. We must bring them all to justice, restore justice to the court, and give an explanation to the people!" Chen Jue said firmly to Wang Hui.

Wang Hui nodded in agreement: "Master Chen is right. We cannot betray the trust of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We must carry out this search and seizure operation to the end."

After a busy period, the guards finally counted all the property in the mansion and registered it. Looking at the pile of stolen goods, Chen Jue was filled with emotion.

"We must make sure these corrupt officials receive the punishment they deserve and let the people know the court's determination to combat corruption!"

Wang Hui also said: "Yes, this action is just the beginning. We must continue to work hard to make more corrupt officials have nowhere to hide."

Finally, Chen Jue and Wang Hui returned to the court with the results of the investigation and the corrupt officials and their families. They reported the investigation in detail to the crown prince, who highly appreciated and affirmed their work.
