Reborn to marry the emperor, I just want to confuse the emperor and seize the throne

At this time, Prefect Qin was already drunk. He suddenly stood up and asked, "Who is calling my name?"

Jiang Jinyan and others were well prepared. As soon as a knife was placed on Prefect Qin's neck, he sobered up instantly.

"Prefect Qin, someone has reported you. Go and give your answer before the Emperor!" Jiang Jinyan said calmly.

Qin Tai didn't know Jiang Jinyan originally, but he got to know him after chatting with him today. "What do you mean, Lord Jiang? I didn't do anything. Who wants to sue me?"

Jiang Jinyan didn't bother to be polite with him, and said in a deep voice, "Send Lord Qin to the stage, and let everyone see what the corrupt official who has the final say in Quanzhou looks like."

Mrs. Qin was also detained. Before Qin Tai could react, he was brought to the stage by the guards. The guard kicked him on the knee and he fell to his knees.

Qin Tai could see the emperor on the high throne as soon as he looked up. Before the emperor could speak, he cried, "I am innocent! I have been the prefect of Quanzhou for so many years, and I have always worked hard and never dared to slack off. Your Majesty is wise, I am really innocent!"

He looked at Xiao Yu and began to accuse with cold eyes, "I know, it must be him, Xiao Yu. He falsely accused his father of being a small county magistrate who had never been promoted, so after he became the top scholar, he took revenge on me. Your Majesty, you must help me." He paid a lot of taxes to Quanzhou every year. Even if he embezzled money, he was showing filial piety to the emperor. If he was a corrupt official, then the emperor would be a bigger corrupt official. Naturally, he only dared to say these words in his heart.

Xiao Yu did not bother to talk to him any more, and directly took out the complaint, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, please take a look. This is a complaint filed by the people of Quanzhou against Prefect Qin. He has committed every crime that is heinous."

The emperor said in a deep voice, "Present it!"

Cao De quickly took it and presented it to the emperor, waiting for the emperor to take a closer look.

Xie Shang had seen these things a long time ago. The crimes Qin Tai committed during his tenure were indeed too numerous to list and he deserved the death penalty.

During his tenure, he accepted bribes for personal gain, falsified taxes, misreported accounts, embezzled public funds for his own use, listened to the advice of a feng shui master and used his official position to seize private homes, among other evil deeds.

At the same time, Qin Yunyan, who was also standing on the stage, stared at Xiao Yu. When she heard that he was going to sue her father, a dark flash appeared in Qin Yunyan's eyes. She had also been infatuated with Xiao Yu, but had never received a response. Xiao Yu left Quanzhou to study in Beijing, and she felt that there was no point in him anymore.

Qin Yunyan was undoubtedly happy that Xiao Yu was the top scorer in the imperial examination. Her reputation as the most beautiful woman in Quanzhou was not false. When she found him, she thought he would be fascinated by her.

Qin Yunyan slowly recalled...

Could it be that Xiao Yu approached her just to collect evidence against his father?

At this time, Xiao Yu was only a few feet away from Qin Yunyan. She suddenly walked towards him and asked him coldly, "Xiao Yu, it was you who wanted to harm my father."

Xiao Yu didn't even look at her. He just wanted to say that the daughter of a corrupt official was very good at sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor.

Qin Yunyan lowered her voice and said, "I didn't expect you to be such a person. Xiao Yu, please speak. I need you to give me an explanation."

Xiao Yu took a step back, looking straight ahead, and deliberately raised his voice, "Miss Qin Yunyan, please respect yourself. Your father is corrupt, and no one in your Qin family can escape. Just wait for the emperor's judgment!"

When the people in the audience heard her name, they all asked, "Isn't her name Zhang Jingjing? Why is she called Qin Yunyan?"

Then someone remembered, "Hasn't she performed on stage before? Why is she performing on stage again using someone else's name?"

"She is the daughter of Prefect Qin. The ceremonial officer has already reported her..."

"Just now the ceremonial officer reported that she was Zhang Jingjing, the daughter of the prefect of Yuzhou... What's going on?"

At this time, Zhang Jingjing was hiding in the dark. Seeing the scene on the stage, she was so frightened that she almost fainted. Looking at the banknotes in her hand, she felt they were hot and wanted to throw them away. But what if the money was checked and she couldn't take it out?

So, Zhang Jingjing decided to wait and see and wait for the emperor's decision.

Then again, everyone was whispering: At that time, everyone was watching the prince carrying a fallen woman away, and no one paid attention to Qin Yunyan. If she hadn't been so beautiful, no one would have remembered her.

Hearing everyone's discussions, Qin Yunyan clenched her fists and suddenly lowered her head.

Prefect Qin and Madam Qin were both shrewd people. They knew their daughter was on the stage and were actually afraid to recognize her. However, they did not expect Xiao Yu to directly say her name.

Several people knelt before the emperor, still thinking of a way out, at least to save their daughters.

Xiao Yu didn't even look at Qin Yunyan. He remembered that before he passed the imperial examination, Qin Yunyan was a very arrogant person.

He really had nothing to say to her. He had never liked Qin Yunyan, but she was the one who stuck to him like a fly.

Xiao Yu also returned to Quanzhou after passing the imperial examination. At that time, he had not yet entered the officialdom. By chance, he heard Qin Yunyan say that she had received an imperial decree from the empress in the palace, asking Quanzhou to send portraits of women of appropriate age. Qin Yunyan shamelessly said at the time that she was determined to be chosen, and she also revealed her ambition to compete for the position of empress.

He noticed her then.

While she was trying to compete for the position of Queen, she also came to him to show her courtesy, so he used a little trick to get into the Qin family and found out some secrets that could not be told.

At that time, she not only wanted to keep him hanging, but also wanted him to help her win favor. She thought that all the good things in the world were taken by the Qin family, which was a nice thought for her.

Just because she thinks she is beautiful, there are women who are actually more beautiful than her who are ten thousand times better than her.

From several conversations with Jiang Jinyan, Xiao Yu also knew Jiang Fenghua's determination to marry the prince. She would not marry anyone but the prince. What does this mean?

This means that she is also aiming for the position of Crown Princess, or even a higher position. Since he can't get her favor, there's no harm in him helping her get the position she wants.

Anyway, since the day he saw her, his heart was no longer his own. Even if she never looked at him in his entire life, he would help her without any regrets.

He is so stubborn in putting a person in the most important place in his heart.

Xiao Yu himself didn't realize how hypocritical he was, to the point of madness. He was willing to be the prince's subordinate and work for him just to help her.

Qin Yunyan was also plotting in her mind. It seemed that Xiao Yu dared to report to the emperor, so he was well prepared. Now he must find a way to protect himself first, and then save his father and mother.

The way the prince was staring at her just now, she saw amazement in his eyes. If she had entered the palace a few months ago and been favored by the prince, she would definitely be able to speak for her father.

But what to do now?

Here, the prince looked at the two people interacting on the stage. He raised his eyebrows. Do you know them?
