Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 554: Concubine Zhou's Plea

"What?" Concubine Zhou widened her eyes and looked at the guard in disbelief, she was so shocked that she almost fainted.

She could never have imagined that the government would actually issue such an order. This was clearly an order to confine her!

But now it is such a critical moment, and her brother's affairs have not been clarified yet. How can she let it go?

So, Concubine Zhou knelt down outside the imperial study without hesitation, crying and begging the emperor to summon her.

However, no matter how she begged, the guards remained unmoved. Finally, the emperor ordered her to be forcibly sent back to the harem and directly ordered her to be under house arrest.

At this moment, the emperor was sitting alone in the imperial study, rubbing his forehead with a tired look on his face.

Seeing this, the eunuch at the side hurriedly stepped forward cautiously and gently massaged the emperor's forehead.

The emperor sighed and muttered to himself, "I never thought that Zhou Yukun would be such a person... Alas, Concubine Zhou's brother is probably completely useless."

The chief eunuch secretly agreed in his heart and whispered, "Who says it's not true, Your Majesty? It is really heartbreaking that Lord Zhou committed such a serious crime."

Lord Zhou is really a two-faced person!

Who could have imagined that he appeared so respectful and submissive in front of the government, but was so arrogant and domineering behind the scenes, simply lawless!

Not only did he bully the locals and the common people, he also raped decent men and women, which was outrageous; what was even more unexpected was that the mastermind behind the human trafficking case that caused a sensation in the city some time ago and was hated by everyone was actually this Lord Marquis!

And that’s not all. There is another shocking case that has not yet surfaced - the Jiangnan counterfeit currency case, which is inextricably linked to him.

I really don't know how many troubles Lord Zhou will cause before he gives up?

Now, he has finally ended up in jail, and everyone in the Marquis's Mansion has been implicated.

Once these two major cases were exposed, the government was furious and immediately ordered that Lord Zhou must be severely punished!

Although Concubine Zhou was under house arrest in the palace, she had worked hard in the palace for many years, so her influence should not be underestimated.

But even so, the information the palace maids could find out was extremely limited.

"Are you saying that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion has been thrown into prison?" Concubine Zhou stared at the palace maid standing in front of her with astonishment on her face and asked in disbelief.

"Your Majesty, what I heard is indeed true." The palace maid replied tremblingly.

"Do you know what the charge is?" Concubine Zhou asked with a frown.

The maid hesitated for a moment before she stammered, "I heard...I heard it's related to the human trafficking case that was reported before."

"What?" Concubine Zhou was shocked when she heard this. Her body trembled violently. "How could my brother be so foolish? I thought he just liked to play with those lowly women for fun, but I never expected that he would dare to commit such a serious crime!"

As she spoke, Concubine Zhou tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and her fingertips turned slightly white from the excessive force.

Now, unexpectedly, this matter is actually related to the abominable human trafficking!

The maid lowered her head tremblingly and reported to Concubine Zhou in a trembling voice: "My queen, I heard that the situation is far more complicated than this... They all say that the Marquis is the mastermind behind this!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhou was struck by lightning.
