After the marriage, the disabled war king was spoiled by me

Du Yunsheng turned his head and looked at Qiao Zhiyu with a sharp gaze: "Master Qiao, I understand your concerns, but the unrest is because the injustice has not been solved, not because the truth has come out. If the General Zhengxi is really guilty, then the court should hold a public trial and let the world know, instead of convicting him privately."

The emperor's expression relaxed a little. He looked at Du Yunsheng and couldn't help but feel a little respect for her.

Du Yunsheng was not being unreasonable, but was acting out of trust in her husband and loyalty to the Western Wei Dynasty.

"Madam Du, you are right, but the court has its own rules. Let me order Lord Qiao to reinvestigate the matter and get to the bottom of it." The emperor said, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

Qiao Zhiyu was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the emperor to change his mind so easily, but since the emperor had given the order, he could only obey.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qiao Zhiyu responded in a deep voice.

"Madam Du, are you willing to assist the court and jointly solve border issues?" the emperor suddenly asked, with anticipation in his eyes.

Du Yunsheng smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, I do."

……

Du Chenting and Du Yuwei, who arrived late, glared at Du Yunsheng with murderous eyes.

"How dare you! Wicked girl! What are you doing in the imperial study? Is this a place for women? Get out now!"

Du Yunsheng was stunned by her father's angry rebuke, and her eyes showed panic and confusion. She didn't understand why her father, who always doted on her, would be so harsh. The atmosphere in the imperial study suddenly became tense, and Du Yuwei's mouth corners slightly raised, as if she was satisfied with her sister's situation.

The emperor frowned slightly when he saw this. He knew Du Chenting's hot temper, but Du Yunsheng was his favorite concubine, so he couldn't just sit back and watch. So, the emperor coughed lightly and said slowly: "Lord Du, since Yunsheng is here, let her stay. I have something to ask her."

Although Du Chenting was unhappy, he did not dare to go against the emperor's wishes, so he had to suppress his anger and said coldly: "Since the emperor has ordered, Yun Sheng should stay. I hope she can abide by her duties and not disturb the peace of the imperial study."

Du Yunsheng felt relieved when she heard this. She bowed her head slightly, trying to appear humble. Seeing this, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little pity for her. He looked at Du Yunsheng and smiled, "Yunsheng, why are you late?"

Du Yunsheng raised her head and answered with a firm look: "Your Majesty, I encountered a small incident on the way, so I was delayed. But I am always concerned about Your Majesty and dare not slack off."

The emperor nodded with satisfaction. He turned to Du Chenting and asked, "Lord Du, what do you think of Yun Sheng's answer?"

Du Chenting gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, but he had to smile: "Your Majesty is wise, Yun Sheng's answer is indeed satisfactory. However, she is a woman after all, and it is not suitable for her to stay in a place like the Imperial Study for a long time."

The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Lord Du is right. But I think that since Yun Sheng is here, we might as well let her stay and listen to our conversation. Perhaps she can provide me with some useful suggestions."

Du Chenting had no choice but to nod in agreement.

The emperor mentioned the matter of the General of the Western Expedition and asked Du Chenting, "Lord Du, do you think the General of the Western Expedition will be successful?"

Du Chenting pondered for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, I believe that although General Zhengxi's journey is full of difficulties, he is both wise and brave, and with the support of our powerful national strength, the success rate is still very high."

The emperor nodded in agreement, and then he turned to Du Yuwei: "Yuwei, what do you think?"

Du Yuwei smiled softly and replied, "Your Majesty, I think my father's analysis is very correct. General Zhengxi's trip will surely be a complete success."

The emperor smiled with satisfaction when he heard this. He turned to Du Yunsheng and asked, "Yunsheng, tell me what you think too."

Du Yunsheng thought for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Your Majesty, I think that although General Zhengxi's journey is difficult, his loyalty and wisdom are unmatched. As long as Your Majesty supports him, he will definitely be able to complete the mission."

After the conversation, the emperor asked Du Yunsheng to stay alone to chat. Du Yunsheng was excited and nervous. She didn't know what the emperor would ask her. The emperor looked at her and smiled, "Yunsheng, how do you think your father and sister treat you?"

Du Yunsheng was stunned. She didn't expect the emperor to ask this question. She thought for a moment and then answered, "Your Majesty, my father and sister have always been very caring towards me. Although they are sometimes a little strict, it's all for my own good."

The emperor listened and nodded with satisfaction. He patted Du Yunsheng's hand gently and said, "Yunsheng, you are a good child. I will always protect you and let you live a happy life in the palace."

Du Yunsheng was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor: "I am deeply grateful and I am willing to sacrifice my life for your majesty."

The emperor gently helped her up, and they smiled at each other.

……

"Your Majesty, I want to sue the cabinet chief Qiao Zhiyu for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, for corruption and bribery, for taking human lives lightly, and for framing my grandfather, the Marquis of Zhenxing, Zhang Dinglian, and his family. Here is all the evidence!"

Du Yunsheng just finished speaking.

Everyone looked at the box she was holding in surprise.

Du Yunsheng's words were like thunder, echoing in the imperial study, and everyone was shocked and speechless by her accusation. Emperor Li Yu's face suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes flashed with doubt and anger. He slowly stood up from the dragon throne, walked to Du Yunsheng, and took the box she was holding.

"Madam Du, this is a serious accusation. Do you have any evidence?" The emperor's voice was cold, but with a barely perceptible tremor.

Du Yunsheng straightened her back, looked at the emperor firmly, and said in a firm tone: "Every word I said is true. These evidences are enough to prove Qiao Zhiyu's crime. If your majesty does not believe it, you can verify it one by one."

The atmosphere in the imperial study became increasingly tense. Qiao Zhiyu's face was as pale as paper. He clenched his fists tightly, and a flash of panic flashed in his eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure, stepped forward, and saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have never colluded with the enemy, betrayed my country, or accepted bribes. What Madam Du said is nothing but nonsense. Please, Your Majesty, look into this matter and clear my name."

The emperor nodded slightly and turned his gaze to Du Yunsheng: "Madam Du, since you have evidence, please present it one by one and let me review it personally."

Du Yunsheng gently opened the box, and various evidences were neatly arranged inside. She first took out a document, which densely recorded the details of Qiao Zhiyu's exchanges with the enemy's envoys.

"This is a secret letter between Qiao Zhiyu and the envoy of the enemy country. It contains a detailed plan to sell out our country's interests." Du Yunsheng pointed at the handwriting on the letter with a firm tone.

The emperor took the letter and looked at it carefully, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. He turned his head and stared at Qiao Zhiyu with a sharp gaze: "Qiao, Prime Minister, do you have anything else to say?"

Qiao Zhiyu looked flustered, but he still argued: "Your Majesty, these are all false accusations made by Madam Du. I have never colluded with the envoys of the enemy country. These are all forged!"
