"These despicable people have no shame in dealing with a little girl."

The more he talked, the angrier he became. Anle was only twelve years old, and she was stabbed in the back. She was so innocent.

As for Tian Linwen who was involved in the rumor, Emperor Jianchang handed the matter over to Xiao Yuwei to investigate.

Emperor Jianchang waved his hand to call for the Imperial Guards. "The Huo family is really a bad family. They raised a villain like Huo Xiujie who is not worthy of being on the stage. Take Huo Xiujie to the Dali Temple and hand him over to Zhou Qiheng for handling."

What a great Huo family! Last time, that girl Anle had a conflict with the rebellious son Xiao Si, and he discovered that Xiao Si was causing trouble in the palace, so he locked him up and took his anger out on the Huo family, who were Xiao Si's maternal ancestors.

Now it seems that the Huo family did not dare to resent him, but at that time, they resented Anle. They slandered Anle's reputation in this way, which was murderous. They were completely unscrupulous to use such a despicable trick on a little girl.

Seeing that His Majesty accidentally broke a teacup and cut his finger in anger, Zhao Chong was so scared that his hands shook.

He trotted to His Majesty, took out a white handkerchief from his bosom without regard for etiquette, and quickly raised his hand to stop the bleeding, his face panicked, "My Lord, even if you are angry, you can't hurt yourself."

At this moment, the young disciple Zhao Kui ran in from outside with a hesitant look on his face.

When Emperor Jianchang saw him, he asked directly, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, the wife of the Shangshu of the Huo Mansion has brought Mr. Huo to the palace to plead guilty."

Emperor Jianchang said coldly, "The Huo family has no way of educating their children, and they maliciously incited people to attack Princess Anle with her innocence. If it were another woman, facing all the rumors on the street, she would probably lose her life.

The Huo family is resentful. They are complaining about the last time I ordered Minister Huo to reflect on his mistakes in seclusion!

Huo Xiujie was so cruel to the little girl who had an argument with him. He might have other murders on his shoulders. Send him directly to the Dali Temple.

Minister Huo did not do a good job of reflecting on his mistakes behind closed doors. In that case, he will first cultivate himself in the palace for two years, and all official duties will be handed over to the Minister of Works. "

Zhao Kui came to the imperial study and conveyed Emperor Jianchang's oral instructions to Madam Huo and her son Huo Xiujie. Madam Huo was deeply shocked and fainted on the spot.

Huo Xiujie was so scared that he kept begging for mercy towards the imperial study.

Several quick-eyed and quick-handed imperial guards immediately rushed over, blocked his mouth, and took him away.

The people of Xiaoyuwei acted decisively, and they investigated and spread the news about Tian Linwen and Tao Yuwei quickly and efficiently.

"Your Majesty, the story about Princess Anle and Tian Linwen happened in the eldest prince's mansion."

After receiving advance instructions from his superior, a captain of the Xiaoyu Guard told Emperor Jianchang what had happened.

After hearing this, Emperor Jianchang realized that Tian Linwen had actually become a husband and wife with a woman in the eldest prince's mansion.

"It turns out that the rumor is true. However, someone deliberately concealed the real situation when spreading the rumor, and maliciously said that the woman was An Le. How old is An Le? How can such a rumor with so many loopholes be spread with details? What on earth do these people want to do?"

Emperor Jianchang would not allow anyone to bully Tao Yuwei under his nose.

The girl was his savior, and these people knew clearly that he loved her, yet they still dared to use such despicable means on her. This was a slap in his face.

"Take Tian Linwen to the prison for interrogation. I want to see why he did this."

As the person involved in the rumor, Tian Linwen not only did not stand up to clarify the truth of the matter, but instead took advantage of the rumor and allowed a group of servants to go to the General's Mansion to cause trouble. He accused Anle of sending people to kill him and almost took his life.

The things here sound weird no matter how you listen to them.

He didn't believe that Tian Linwen went to so much trouble to spread the rumor that he and Anle were husband and wife just to force the Tao family to marry him and get close to the Tao family.

Without any verification, he could directly point out that Anle was the culprit of the assassination. This is making enemies, not making friends.

There is something fishy about Tian Wenlin, and his purpose must be found out.

"Your Majesty, we have obtained evidence of the Minister of Land and Revenue's corruption and bribery. He is currently being held in the Iodine Prison of the Dali Temple. The commander will write a memorial to the emperor tomorrow to detail the matter."

Captain Xiaoyuwei briefly talked about what Tian Ce had done.

Emperor Jianchang wished he could chop off Tian Ce's head immediately.

"I trusted him, but he enriched himself, embezzled and accepted bribes, like an ungrateful wolf who could never be fed. He withheld money for the construction of the dam in the south of the Yangtze River, causing a large number of people to lose their homes and their lives. He is a heinous criminal. I will exterminate all nine generations of his clan."

Seeing that the emperor's eyes were red and his breathing was unstable due to anger, Zhao Chong did not wait for Emperor Jianchang to object and quickly asked the imperial physician to see him.

The young disciple Zhao Kui took the opportunity to take the captain of Xiaoyuwei away from the imperial study.

"Please tell Chief Steward Zhao that the matter His Majesty requested for a thorough investigation today, our Xiaoyu Guard will be able to deliver all the evidence tomorrow. I hope he will speak well of it in front of His Majesty."

This captain of the Xiaoyu Guard was a slippery person. He was afraid that something might happen to the Emperor Jianchang's health. If it was investigated and blamed on him, it would be a big trouble.

When he met His Majesty this time, he also followed the instructions of his superiors. He said what he should say and did not say a word more than what he should not say.

Who could have thought that His Majesty would react so strongly to his words that he even summoned the imperial physician.

No, after capturing Tian Linwen, he should go back and report to the commander.

When Concubine Huo, who was in the cold palace, heard the news, she angrily cursed Tao Yuwei as a disaster star.

"Our Huo family is in such a state now, all because of that little bitch An Le. Just wait for me. In a few days, after the prince is released from the clan residence, I will have plenty of ways to rescue my nephew Xiu Jie."

"Anle, you little bastard, I will give you a great gift when I leave the cold palace. Then, I will definitely let you have a taste of what will happen if you offend me."

After receiving a diagnosis from Cao Youliang, the former head of the Imperial Hospital, Emperor Jianchang received Cao Youliang's advice, "Your Majesty, you must not let your mood fluctuate too much in the future. Calming down and resting your mind is the most important thing!"

"I will prescribe a prescription for you to nourish your spirit. Please take it for a while."

Emperor Jianchang waved his hand gently to him, indicating that he would pay attention, and then he lay down on the dragon couch to rest.

After sending the imperial physician away and waiting for Zhao Chong to come back, Emperor Jianchang suddenly opened his eyes.

"Find someone to keep an eye on Concubine Huo in the cold palace, and report anything unusual to her."

"Your Majesty, I will send someone to arrange it right away."

Zhao Chong respectfully left the hall.

A young eunuch in the imperial study was assigned the task of boiling medicine.

He took the medicine bag in his hand and went to a side hall. He put the herbs in the paper bag into the medicine pot and added water to boil them.

He watched the whole process carefully by himself, fearing that something unexpected might happen.

It took more than an hour to finally boil the medicine in the medicine pot.

After pouring the medicine into the bowl, he picked up the bowl with joy and walked towards the Wenying Hall where Emperor Jianchang was resting.

Halfway through the walk, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach. He looked around, put the medicine bowl in his hand in a secluded corner, and went to the toilet with peace of mind.

After he left, a figure came to the medicine bowl, took out a packet of something from his arms, and poured it into the bowl carefully.

After doing all this, the man slipped away.

When the medicine bowl was delivered to Emperor Jianchang, the medicine inside was still warm and ready for consumption.

Holding the medicine bowl in his hand, a pungent smell hit him in the face. Emperor Jianchang stuffed the bowl into the hands of Zhao Chong, who was serving beside him, with disgust.

"This medicine smells too strong. I don't want to drink it for now. Just leave it there for now!"

Zhao Chong held the bowl helplessly, wanting to persuade him to drink the medicine while it was hot, but he saw the emperor turned over, said with his back to him, "Zhao Chong, I will rest for an hour first. After an hour, remember to wake me up."

After giving the order, Emperor Jianchang quickly fell asleep.

Zhao Chong had no choice but to put down the bowl of medicine in his hand, quietly walked out of the hall in small steps, and closed the door.

Tao Yuwei, who had just returned home, went to feed the crow and its clansmen first.

Standing in a hidden bamboo forest in the backyard, Tao Yuwei looked at the black crows eating eagerly and hummed the lyrics of "Perfume is Poisonous" in a good mood.

Upon hearing this, the maids Yunxiao and Baishuang blushed.

Their county mistress is a little timid but not cowardly.

The singing is too straightforward. Who did she fall in love with?

"Who do you want to sleep with?" Wu suddenly appeared and stood behind her, with endless murderous intent in her eyes.

Who on earth was the bastard who deceived and kidnapped my daughter who was not even an adult yet?

Damn it, she must find that man and cut his throat.

Tao Yuwei's mood for singing was suddenly interrupted. She turned around and saw her beautiful and heroic mother squinting at her with dangerous eyes.

My goodness, look at the way I protect my child. Could it be that she misunderstood and thought that she was deceived by some noble young man?

"Mom, why are you here? Let's go to your yard and eat some iced watermelon."

Tao Yuwei walked up to her with a smile, took Wu's arm, and walked out.

But he found that Wu didn't move at all.

"Mom, you are too strong. You even used your internal energy with me. This shouldn't be the case!"

Tao Yuwei didn't expect that Wu really took the lyrics she sang seriously.

"Don't play dumb, tell me who that guy is."

If anyone dares to bully her daughter, she will make him regret it.

"Mom, no one, your daughter is so young, who would want to hit on me."

Haha, she still has plenty of youth to enjoy a good life.

Of course, she would also teach some scoundrels a lesson and let them know that she is not easy to plot against.

[Oh, it's just a few lyrics, why do you take it so seriously? Mom, your daughter has no plans to marry, but I plan to have more concubines after I become an adult.]

Mrs. Wu's eyes widened in shock at her daughter's bold remarks.

Not only does she not marry into the royal family, but she also has a lover. She is just a princess who is temporarily loved and served by the king. How can she be more arrogant than a real princess?

Her daughter's idea is not acceptable. She will have to pay more attention to her daughter in the future. If she lets her continue like this, she might find a lover for no reason one day.

"When you reach the age of 15, mother will carefully select a marriage for you. It's not good for you to secretly raise these crows in the backyard! Were you the one who caused the chaos outside today?"

Mrs. Wu was happy about her daughter's growth, but she was also worried that her daughter, without the guidance of her elders, would develop a bad temper in the process of growing up freely, become too arrogant in her behavior and actions, and lose her sense of propriety by trying to take the lead in everything.

Tao Yuwei grabbed Wu's hand and shook her head quickly, "Mom, your daughter has no plans to get married, so don't worry about this."

"These crows helped me a lot today. To express my gratitude, I'm just treating them to a big meal."

It turns out that these crows were not raised privately by the girl. That's good. After these crows fly away, they will have nothing to do with their General's Mansion.

She also didn't have to worry about someone using her daughter's ability to attract crows to spread unlucky rumors.

She and her husband already knew what was going on outside. Her daughter was bold and decisive, and acted without any hesitation. In this respect, she was much better than her.

The Tian family that bullied my daughter has fallen, and my husband said that he will take action against the person hiding behind the scenes.

She had sent a letter to her father in the southwestern border area, reminding him of some things and asking him to be prepared.

"In the future, when you encounter problems, don't rush to the front. Come back and tell me and your father, and we will help you."

Mrs. Wu looked at her sensible daughter and patted Tao Yuwei's hand to give her some advice.

"Mom, I'll listen to you. Let's go eat watermelon!"

[I am an adult. If I get bullied outside, of course I will fight back. As for the rest, I will complain to the emperor. It will be much easier than telling you.]

When Mrs. Wu heard her daughter's voice in her mind, she sighed helplessly and thought, "Forget it, just let her be."

"Madam, Prince Yong's men want to see the princess." The servant guarding the door came running to report.

Wu looked at Tao Yuwei with eyes full of questions.

Didn't you say there were no men out there? What's up with this Prince Yong?

Tao Yuwei was stunned for a moment in surprise.

Why is the big villain looking for her at this time?

Hadn't she and he already reached an agreement?

"Please invite them to my courtyard." Tao Yuwei let go of Wu's hand and hurried to her own courtyard.

She was very curious about why the other party was looking for her at this time.

Mrs. Wu watched her daughter's hurried steps as she left, her heart sinking slightly.

The Prince of Yong was not a good match. Although he was of excellent physique, his health was not good and he suffered from chronic illness. There were many rumors about him in the capital, and the most common one was that he would not live long.

In addition, there are many disputes in Prince Yong's Mansion. Your Majesty's younger brother, Prince Yong, favors his concubine and neglects his wife. He has ignored the seriously ill princess for many years. The harem is in unrest and chaos. No matter how much the daughter likes that boy, she and her husband will not allow her daughter to marry into such a family.

She had to talk to her husband and tell him not to let her daughter continue to associate with Prince Yong.

Tao Yuwei didn't know that her mother had misunderstood her again.

At this moment, she came to Fengwei Residence. As soon as she entered the yard, she saw Qingzhu, the guard beside Xiao Lichen.

"Princess Anle, my master has an important request. I hope you will agree to it."

When Qingzhu saw her appear, he immediately bowed.

"He's a very capable person. Nothing can stop him. Why would he ask me for help?"

Tao Yuwei didn't want to stay in the sun, so she called Qingzhu and went with her to the pavilion beside the lotus pond in the backyard.
