Female Master: The Cold Prince

Inside Fengyi Palace.

After hearing the report from the palace servants, Feng Jun smashed a lot of things in anger, but he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart no matter how he vented it.

When the palace servants saw that the situation was not good, they immediately went to the East Palace to ask for help.

"Father, calm down!"

Xiahou Zhiruo rushed over. She had just heard about the rumors spreading outside.

Seeing the arrival of the princess, Feng Jun suppressed his anger a little.

"How did you come?"

"Father, I heard rumors outside and was afraid that they might be detrimental to you, so I went to the palace to discuss countermeasures with you," Xiahou Zhiruo explained.

At first, she also thought that it was her father who did it, but now seeing her father so furious, she was afraid that there must be another hidden story.

"The rumors outside are all the work of Prince Chen. Don't think that I don't know what she is planning!" Feng Jun.

They actually plotted against him. Is he so easily fooled?

"Father, I heard that Prince Yuxia was indeed poisoned and is still in a coma."

"So what? What does it have to do with me?"

As the heir of a country, he must be considerate of the proper etiquette. That is why he invited the prince to the palace yesterday to entertain him and win him over.

Unexpectedly, I was used as a gun.

"Father, I think someone wants to use you to attack the power of the Fourth Princess and drag you into this."

Xiahou Zhiruo instantly understood the reason.

"Yes, this guy has a good plan." Feng Jun.

However, do you think you can drag him down like this? He is not a pushover.

"Does Father have any suspicions?"

This plan kills two birds with one stone, and he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Who could have poisoned the prince without his father's eyes?

“Zhiruo, think about it, after both I and Prince Chen are defeated, who will benefit the most?” Feng Jun said with gloomy eyes.

"Fifth Imperial Sister!" Xiahou Zhiruo blurted out instantly.

In the court, although she was the crown princess, there were many other ministers who wanted to stand on the side of other princesses. Among them, Prince Chen had the highest voice, and Prince Duan ranked second.

"But, the Fifth Princess is in Huihe County, and I don't think Lady Lian is capable of such scheming." Xiahou Zhiruo expressed his doubts.

"He doesn't have it, but doesn't the one in Yueyao Palace have it?" Feng Jun reminded.

"Li Jun!!!" Xiahou Zhiruo exclaimed in shock.

Li Jun is the new favorite of the Queen Mother. He is charming and mysterious, and few people in the palace have seen him.

"Yes, this person's mind is so cunning and scheming that Lord Lian cannot compare to him." Lord Feng said.

This person is close to Lian Cejun, so he couldn't help but think of him.

"Your son is a little confused. Since entering the palace, Li Jun has never left Yueyao Palace. He has never had any conflict with Ling Guijun. Why would he attack my fourth sister?" Xiahou Zhiruo asked in confusion.

"You are right. I am also confused, but no matter if it is him or not, I will not sit still and wait for death."

Whoever it is, he will make them pay a heavy price.

It’s time to tidy up this huge harem, otherwise, they have forgotten who is the only master in this harem!

In the study of Prince Chen's Mansion.

"Your Highness, after the prince entered the palace yesterday, he met someone from Yuqing Palace on the way. If the person who put the poison was not Lord Feng, it must be Yuqing Palace." Ye Si said.

It was she who secretly followed the prince into the palace yesterday. She knew nothing about the poison and did not notice it in time.

"This was not done by Lord Feng. You keep a close eye on Yuqing Palace. Also, go investigate Lord Lian's father's family, including Lord Lian. I want to know what he did after entering the palace." Xiahou Jiuyue.

If anyone wants to discipline the harem, Feng Jun must take action.

"Yes." Ye Si.

As soon as Xiahou Jiuyue came out of the study, Shangguan Linglong came towards her.

"Your Highness, do you have any clues?" Shangguan Linglong asked.

"There is one, but it will take time."

"Who are you pointing at?" Shangguan Linglong asked hurriedly.

"Yuqing Palace, the details still need to be verified." The two talked as they walked towards the room.

At 11 pm in the evening, Ye Si returned quietly.

"Your Highness, here are all the information." Ye Si handed several account books in his hand to Xiahou Jiuyue.

Xiahou Jiuyue took the account book and looked through it one by one.

After a while, she said, "Copy the important parts of this letter and secretly send it to the ministers in the court who support the princess."

"For the other copy, find an opportunity to reveal it to Feng Jun's people, and let his people verify it themselves."

Feng Jun is a cautious person. If the evidence is directly placed in front of him, he will definitely not believe it.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ye Si.

"Notify Ye Liu and ask her to find a way to get a token from Prince Duan." Xiahou Jiuyue then instructed.

"Yes."

After Xiahou Jiuyue finished arranging everything, she suddenly felt relaxed all over. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she last relaxed.

The next day, Xiahou Jiuyue asked for leave from the empress and did not attend the court meeting.

The fact that Prince Yuxia was poisoned became known to everyone. The empress sent imperial physicians to treat him, but they were unable to find out the cause of the illness.

For this reason, the Queen was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

This matter concerned the marriage between the two countries. Everyone was terrified and panicked for a time.

Xiahou Jiuyue did not disclose the fact that she was poisoned by the Gu in order to avoid alerting the enemy.

"Your Highness, I have already found out that there is indeed a palace maid in Yuqing Palace who is from the ancient country. She is the one where the poison came from." Ye Wu reported.

She had been lurking in the palace. After receiving the order, she investigated Yuqing Palace from top to bottom and was finally found.

"It is indeed him. You should secretly control that palace maid and don't let her die." Xiahou Jiuyue said.

"Yes." Ye Wu.

At this moment, a wicked smile flashed across Xiahou Jiuyue's eyes. It was rare to see someone who dared to frame her and still be alive.

I hope that person will like her return gift!

A few days later, in the court.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has something to report." Taiwei Cao Yin stepped out and said.

"My dear Lord Cao, what do you want to report?" asked the Queen.

"Your Majesty, I am reporting to the Supreme Court that Xu Rong, the Junior Official of the Dali Temple, was abusing his power for personal gain and committing corruption."

"Since Xu Rong took office, he has abused his power to accept bribes, disregarded human lives, and handled countless unjust cases. This has caused the people to complain and curse the emperor for being unfair. I hope your majesty will make a holy judgment."

Upon hearing this, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked. How come Marble Shaoqing was targeted by the Princess Party?

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!" Xu Rong's face suddenly changed.

"Unjust? I have received so many impeachment memorials against you. Just look for yourself!"

The empress flew into a rage and threw down all the memorials beside her.

Xu Rong hurriedly crawled over to pick up the memorial on the ground. The more she looked at it, the more frightened she became, and her heart kept sinking.

Finally, she looked dejected and collapsed to the ground.

"Come here, remove Xu Rong from his official position, throw him into death row, confiscate all his property, and exile the rest of his family members to the border, never to return to Beijing!" the empress issued an order angrily.

"Your Majesty, I, as an old minister, thank you!" Xu Rong was filled with remorse at this moment.

The empress was able to let her family go only for the sake of Prince Duan and Concubine Lian, and she didn't want to make things too embarrassing.

Soon, she was ruthlessly dragged out of the hall by the palace guards.

In the silent hall, everyone was in danger and dared not whisper to each other, for fear that they would be the next.
