And during this ti the streets within the capital were full of Chen Wang's city defense troops. The Rong fu was being secretly monitored by Chen Wang's guards, truly making other people feel uneasy, as if sothing huge was going to take place.
But, the bigger the possibility that sothing huge was going to happen, the preceding few more days seed to be more quiet and peaceful, just like the surface of the sea before the storm without any trace of waves, but when the actual storm swept through, it would bring devastating blows.
Inside the Imperial Palace during this ti, the Empress Dowager and the Empress were both worriedly staring at Emperor Yu Qian who had already taken the antidote. All of them were anxiously waiting for Emperor Yu Qian to regain consciousness.
“How long would His Majesty still remain unconscious?” Still not seeing Emperor Yu Qian woken up, the Empress suddenly felt a bit flustered as she questioned the imperial physician who was standing beside the dragon throne.
“Please don't worry, Your Highness. Let's wait for another quarter of an hour, His Majesty will certainly wake up. But His Majesty hasn't had a decent al for a very long ti, among the royal als for the past few days, he only had porridge as an appropriate al, once His Majesty has his appetite back, we shall gradually add so aty diet.” While the imperial physician was taking Emperor Yu Qian's pulse, he replied to the Empress' inquiries, he also ntioned all the details about the Emperor Yu Qian's diet, what he shall eat and the appropriate ti to consu it after he waken up.
After hearing those words, the Empress Dowager nodded her head, after which she spoke steadily “Having you beside His Majesty to tend to his needs, we evidently feel quite assured. For His Majesty's diet and health for the next few days, you will be the one in charge. You must make His Majesty recover as soon as possible!”
While they were exchanging words, Emperor Yu Qian's both eyes which had not been opened for almost a month, gradually opened…...
“Your Majesty……” The few people guarding beside the dragon throne simultaneously cried out in surprise, the Empress and the Empress Dowager were both overwheld with tears of joy. The Empress Dowager's eyes werebrimming with specks of glistening teardrops, her both hands could not help but take the other hand of Emperor Yu Qian, with smile on her face she said, “Your Majesty, you are finally awake!”
Emperor Yu Qian glanced at the few persons before him. When he felt the burning sensation enveloping his body had already faded away, he knew for sure that his serious illness had already recovered, then facing the Empress Dowager he forced out a weak smile, yet before he could utter anything, he discovered that his throat was very much sore and dry, unexpectedly unable to speak a word.
“Empress Dowager, His Majesty's body is curently still extrely weak. Nubi shall boil so decoction for recuperation after a while.” That imperial physician carefully checked Emperor Yu Qian's pulse, then he slightly felt reassured, afterwhich he took a teacup handed over to him by so palace maid, using silver spoon to scoop up the warm water inside, then putting it beside Emperor Yu Qian's mouth.
However, the pain inside Emperor Yu Qian's throat was too difficult to bear as if it was set under fire, this ti being offered the warm water, he imdiately drank it, the motion was done several tis. In a short amount of ti, the Emperor consud all the warm water in the imperial physician's hands.
“Why are you here, Mother?” Resting for a long while, feeling his throat getting better, Emperor Yu Qian then slowly spoke, his gaze shifted from the Empress Dowager to the Empress' tearstickened face, then he glanced at the imperial physician at the side, one by one he observed their expressions, as if they had already aged ten years.
“Your Majesty, do you know that you have been poisoned for almost a month now, today you've finally woken up after consuming the antidote! I shall certainly be guarding by your side together with the Empress, now that you have already regained back your consciousness, it seed that the huge problem in my heart had already been settled.” Upon speaking, the tears in the Empress Dowager's eyes trailed down on her face, looking towards Emperor Yu Qian in distress.
“You must have been worried, Mother. But, being unconscious for almost a month, how about the major events in the royal court……” This ti Emperor Yu Qian's mind was still sohow unstable, yet his heart was anxiously wprried about the things in the royal court, particularly when he learned that he had been unconscious for a month, his pale face seed to beco even more anxious.
The Empress Dowager just patted his hand, smiled and said “Your Majesty you not need to worry, we have Chu Xiang and Chen Wang in the royal court, things have been handled properly. Once you get well, I shall instruct them to co over and personally report all the things that happened during the past few days.”
While speaking, the Empress Dowager signaled the palace maids to help prop up Emperor Yu Qian, then she personally took the bowl of porridge from the Empress' hands, one by one she carefully feed Emperor Yu Qian.
Since Emperor Yu Qian had woken up, a few chancellors stayed behind Yang Xin Palace to report all the things that had occurred to Emperor Yu Qian.
On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, Yun Qian ng received another letter from Chu Fei Yang. Right at the top of the letter, all the major symptoms and experiences during the testing period were recorded. Finished reading the letter, before Yun Qian ng could lift up her brush to write the letter of reply, yet she caught sight of Liu Han Yu, who seed to be usually calm, ca rushing in with a flustered face…...
“Xiaojie, xiaojie, it's not good, sothing bad happened……” While running inside the inner room, Liu Han Yu was yelling very loudly, her eyes looked terrified.
Yun Qian ng imdiately put away the letter then faced Liu Han Yu, seeing her slightly ssy hair bun as a result of taking a dash, the beaded hairpin on her head jingled loudly. Although she had been running, yet her face was extrely pale, even at the ti she was already standing in front of Yun Qian ng, her body was still trembling faintly.
“What's going on? Why are you scared like that, yiniang?” Yun Qian ng still remained calm, but the feeling of uneasiness had already crept up crawling inside her heart.
“Da xiaojie, sothing's wrong! The leader of the imperial guard, Superior Wu, had charged inside of our xiangfu leading his troops, at this mont they were searching every place! And the whole xiangfu had already been surrounded by the imperial guards, xiangye…… xiangye, he……” While speaking, Liu Han Yu's tears feel down, both lips trembling unable to speak further.
“Speak!” Yun Qian ng suddenly shouted coldly, frightening Liu Han Yu as her body shook once again, regardless of being alard, she imdiately continued, “Xiangye was…… has been taken by His Majesty and was being imprisoned inside the prison of Ministry of Justice…… xiaojie, what should we do now, what's really going on?”
As compared to Liu Han Yu who had not been ntally prepared, Yun Qian ng who was trying to analyze the situation at hand seed to be incomparably calm. Particularly, the mont when the matter that she had been worrying about had finally beca evident, though Yun Qian ng could not fully understand why the person behind this would targetting xiangfu, but with this tip of an iceberg, she would be able to find a way to comply with it.
“How about at the old madam's place?” This ti during the absence of the master of xiangfu, the old madamthe head of the fu, naturally she would co out and clearly inquired about the matter.
“Nubi haven't been to Bai Shun Tang yet, thus I'm unclear about the situation there.” Liu Han Yu sohow couldn't understand why Yun Qian ng would suddenly ask about the old madam, for a mont she was feeling troubled yet again. Now that Yun Xuan Zhi had been imprisoned, and Superior Wu had not clearly explained the matter as he resolutely intruded inside xiangfu and searched around, there were plenty of won inside xiangfu, those who got startled were not just one or two, before Liu Han Yu visited Yun Yan she had imdiately co over to Qi Lui Yuan, only hoping that Yun Qian ng would be able to co up with a plan.
But while she was still waiting for Yun Qian ng to speak, outside the doorway of Qi Luo Yuan, a burst of orderly footsteps echoed, after which the quarreling sounds of servant girls and old won ca through.
“This is our da xiaojie's courtyard, how could we permit you to search around as you wish?” the unyielding voice of Mi Mama reverberated from within the courtyard, looking towards the entrance of Qi Luo Yuan through the wooden window, a troop of imperial guards holding long swords had already intruded inside of Qi Luo Yuan, yet they were being blocked off by the servant girls and Mamas, and even though these imperial guards were emotionless, they still did not use violence against those won who even had no strength to truss a chicken. Both sides were rely just confronting each other, did not seem to have any blood shedding incident as of yet.
Hearing the quarreling voices, Liu Han Yu's face suddenly turned ugly. Her eyes could not help but shifted to the direction of courtyard where Yun Yan was staying, her both hands were pinching hard on the handkerchief in her hands uncontrollably, her heart was extrely anxious.
“Liu yiniang, you may go ahead and get back to Yun Yan's side through the minor pathway, if there's anything I will notify you.” Hearing the quarreling sounds beca increasingly louder, Yun Qian ng spoke with knitted brows.
Liu Han Yu who was actually worrying about Yun Yan's situation right now, imdiately nodded her head facing Yun Qian ng, quickly she turned around, following the minor pathway behind Qi Luo Yuan as she hurriedly ran towards Yun Yan's courtyard.
Yun Qian ng just frowned and observed the current situation., Feeling certain that she had already hidden Chu Fei Yang's letter inside her sleeves, she imdiately stood up and went down the stairs.
“What had actually happened?” A cold voice ca through, imdiately kept the bellowing sounds of the servant girls and old won under control.
“Da xiaojie, these people are trying to rush inside the courtyard! Yet they refused to give us the reason. We are truly angry about it, that's why we started to quarrel with them!” Mu Chun spoke with reddish eyes, during the usual days aside from Mi Mama, Mu Chun was the most protective over Yun Qian ng, this ti these people were trying to rush inside the da xiaojie's courtyard for so unknown reasons, Mu Chun definitely would not allow them to do such thing!
“Yun xiaojie, we are just following orders, please do not stop us!” This ti, a mber of the imperial guard coldly stated, although he was sohow surprised because of Yun Qian ng's appearance, but he clearly knew in his heart to whom he was receiving his orders, this ti he was implenting the imperial command, his solid heart would not be so easily wavered by anything.
“Following orders? Whose orders? Is there an imperial decree? Or any official docunts?” Yun Qian ng's cold gaze suddenly shot across that imperial guard, exposing an indifferent smile in the corner of her mouth, afterwhich she asked in a cold voice.
“Of course it is His Majesty's oral command!” This ti, Superior Wu approached striding with quick steps coming from a distant place.
Yun Qian ng looked around, seed like it was already a very long ti ago that she had last seen Superior Wu, now that she finally faced him again, yet she discovered Superior Wu's body was covered with a layer of murderous spirit, but the pure and noble vital energy was still present, making Yun Qian ng slightly feel ill at ease, then she collectedly asked, “Not know why would His Majesty give such oral command? Why would he suddenly instruct the imperial guards to surround the entire xiangfu, and now with the need to search the entire xiangfu?”
When Yun Qian ng was observing Superior Wu, he was also examining this noble young lady, seeing her calm temperant was still present, during this sudden outburst of situation, her eyes did not contain any indecisive fear, but still had her usual calmness. The scene permitting Superior Wu to secretly admire this da xiaojie of the Yun xiangfu.
If Yun Xiang had committed the cri today, then it would definitely cause harm to all the people in Yun xiangfu for no reason at all.
Seeing Yun Qian ng like this, Superior Wu started to explain beyond all the people's expectation, “His Majesty had just given an oral command, Yun Xiang was suspected for being involved in the incident of covering up the fraud in this year's imperial examination, thushe will be temporarily imprisoned within the Ministry of Justice. I am assigned to lead the troops to search around the entire Yun xiangfu, strict instructions were given not to allow any person to step out of the gate, anyone who disobeyed the orders will be beheaded!”
Hearing these words, all the eyes of servant girl and old won were opened wide. Their faces were deathly still, only Yun Qian ng was the one who remained the unperturbed, though her delicate brows were slightly crunched up, but she was fully aware that if she would excessively stop them, perhaps in the future she would beco the weak point where the other people would aim their targets at. With that in mind, she slightly retreated one step back, leaving a path way, afterwhich she lifted up her both eyes staring fixedly at Superior Wu, the quietly said, “I have so things left behind by my deceased mother in my own room, please search around carefully, and please do not break those things.”
Superior Wu had not expected Yun Qian ng to be straightforward like this, just simply permitting them upon hearing that it was based on Emperor Yu Qian's oral command.
But, the words that Yun Qian ng last spoken, only made Superior Wu feel that this woman was truly aweso, not simply reminding all the people, but to also implies that even if Yun Xuan Zhi was imprisoned inside the Ministry of Justice, Fu Guo Gongfu would still stand straight and high. In addition, during those days when the er xiaojie of Fu Guo Gong Fu had gotten married, the late emperor had also granted nurous gifts from the Palace, such kind of imperial gifts, even the leader of the imperial guards like him, would not dare to simply smash or break them, perhaps only himself would be allowed to personally search around Yun Qian ng's chambers, or else if anything got broken, it might cost him his official post.
“Please don't worry Yun xiaojie, we will certainly search the place carefully.” After speaking, Superior Wu led the guard behind him as they went up the lady chambers.
“Xiaojie, how could you permit n to intrude inside your lady chamber!” Mi Mama looked on helplessly as Superior Wu led a few guards inside Yun Qian ng's room, she was so anxious that her eyes were red.
But Yun Qian ng did not really mind as she patted the back of Mi Mama's hands, pacifying her and explained, “There's no need to worry that much, even if we wanted to stop them today, that Superior Wu will certainly search around forcibly. Since it was the Emperor's command, it will be better for us to cooperate, so as to avoid committing cri due to going against the Imperial Decree.”
The main reason why Yun Qian ng had allowed Superior Wu to go inside the room and search around was because there were no direct conflicts of interest between Superior Wu and xiangfu. Besides, based on the attitude that Superior Wu had showed towards Su Yuan during their previous encounter at the gates of the palace, they were not accomplices. As a result Yun Qian ng would actually bet that Superior Wu would not take the risk to deliberately entrap her.
When Mi Mama heard Yun Qian ng's analysis, her tensed up expression gradually cald down a bit. After al,l the cri that one would commit by going against the imperial decree would naturally be extrely serious, even the first-rank official like Yun Xuan Zhi was also being imprisoned by Emperor Yu Qian for his mistakes, let alone the lowly people like them. This ti around if they were to excessively resist, it would actually inflicting trouble to their da xiaojie. In any case their courtyard did not possess any shaful things, they were not worried if any outside people search around the area.
As expected, after a short mont, Superior Wu finally led out his people over, seeing Yun Qian ng still standing in the sa spot with an nonchalant expression on her face, Superior Wu said in a deep voice, “Apologize for bothering you, Yun xiaojie! But during these few days I might assign a few guards to guard the xiangfu, still we would like to request you, xiaojie, and the people in the fu not to wander all over the place, just stay in your respective courtyards as much as possible, or else the swords don't have eyes, if they were to injure all of you, none of us were to bla!”
Yun Qian ng took note of the baleful look exuding from Superior Wu's body beca increasingly heavier, and the frightened state of the servant girls standing at the side as they all lowered down their heads. At once she knew that Superior was extracting a psychological attack on everyone's mind, allowing all the people to stay well behaved inside their respective chambers and not to make any harsh moves.
Yun Qian ng just slightly shifted her fluid glancereplied in a cold tone, “Thanks Superior Wu for your reminder. But, My grandmother is already very old, and a few young sisters are still very young, they will not be able to withstand the fright, if they speak any inappropriate words, please accept our apologies. Please do not bear it in your mind.”
Superior Wu had not expected that Yun Qian ng would show concern for the other people inside Yun xiangfu during this ti around. Steps slightly halted, he could not but turned around and glanced back at Yun Qian ng, yet he was greeted by Yun Qian ng's back figure as she walked back to her lady chamber, then he recalled her words monts ago. Superior Wu felt that there had been things indirectly implied within her words, apparently they were not as simple as what it might appear on the surface.
But, after much thought, it rely felt like Yun Qian ng had been simply showing her thoughtfulness towards her family mbers, causing Superior Wu to inadvertently frowning his brows.
“Move!” With a wave of the hand, the remaining imperial guard stayed behind to guard Qi Luo Yuan, while Superior Wu led the other few n as they proceeded to the other courtyards.
Mi Mama and the others attentively protecting Yun Qian ng as they walked back to the inner room. All of them had on their serious faces, feeling a black cloud covering above the xiangfu, unable to see the daylight.
Unexpectedly, Yun Qian ng still maintained her cool, affecting everyone inside Qi Luo Yuan to feel at ease. Mi Mama pacified all the people's hearts as they gradually regained back their usual mood, henceforth they were able to work undisturbed.
In fact, the oral command of the Emperor as ntioned by Superior Wu, was pretty much the sa thing that Yun Qian ng had been worrying about.
Apparently, there were people who intended to lay their hands to Yun Xuan Zhi by taking advantage of the current imperial examination.
In addition, Emperor Yu Qian had just recovered from so serious illness, yet with this swift and decisive action of investigating his very own right hand minister, such behavior really made people feel skeptical.
And as for Yun Xuan Zhi being involved in the corruptive practices of fraud, Yun Qian ng believed that it was just a illusory problem.
Outsiders might have no idea about it, but how could Yun Qian ng not know?
Based on Yun Xuan Zhi's current relationship with the old madam, how would he wish to see Yun Yi Heng brothers to attain the position of Imperial Top Scorer? It was already generous enough that he had not given the Yun Yi Heng brothers the lowest marks during the grading of exam papers, how would he had the ans to bribe the other examiners for the sake of the two brothers, and even had deliberately let Yun Yi Heng brothers ascend to the position of the Imperial Top Scorer?
Consequently, this ti, Yun Qian ng strongly believed that Yun Xuan Zhi was indeed being entrapped by soone.
Furthermore, Emperor Yu Qian had already instructed his people to imprison Yun Xuan Zhi without first determining the right and wrong, even more, with this great fanfare as to how they proceeded to search around the entire Yun xiangfu; such kind of actions, was indeed very fishy.
Seeing Yun Qian ng sitting beside the window and pondering things deeply, Mi Mama sent all the other people away. Even if outside Qi Luo Yuan was already in chaos, yet it was still as quiet as the night inside Qi Luo Yuan. All the people regarded the incident a while ago as if it had never happened, all were performing their tasks with lowered heads.
But during this ti, crying and yelling sounds could be heard inside Bai Shun Tang. The old madam had never encountered such event before, seeing a group of imperial guards carrying weapons rushed in without any prior notice.
When they rushed inside her courtyard, they started right away to thoroughly search around overturning trunks and boxes, frightening the old madam as she pointed her finger towards Yun Xuan Zhi's study room then cursed loudly, “I have brought up a person that brings bad luck! Instead of performing his job properly, he preferred to violate rules, and even involving his own mother. I'd rather die, than to beco a burden to my parents and siblings!”
Before Superior Wu could step inside Bai Shun Tang, he had already heard the old madam cursing Yun Xuan Zhi. For a brief mont Yun Qian ng's words flew back to mind, he sohow ca to understand why the people outside were saying that Yun Xuan Zhi and his mother were not in good terms.
“What now?” Seeing the imperial guards already retreated, Superior Wu asked.
“Reporting to you, superior, everything seems normal.” An imperial guard imdiately replied.
When the old madam heard the imperial guard calling the man dressed in official clothes ‘superior', she imdiately ran forward and interogating angrily, “Who are you? Why do you have to search the xiangfu?”
Superior Wu coldly stared at the old madam in front of him, then recited the oral command of Emperor Yu Qian once again.
The old madam's face imdiately turned ugly. For a long while she seed not to be able to regain her usual composure, fortunately Rui Mama who was standing beside her comforting her, only then she breathed out raggedly.
Yet, the old madam, without much warning shouted back at Superior Wu, “Superior, this matter isn't my concern! All were sins committed by Yun Xuan Zhi, why wouldn't you let off? I'm rely staying at xiangfu temporarily, today I was planning to get back to my younger son's place!”
While speaking, the old madam did not even spare enough ti to tidy up her bundle, she planned to crossover Superior Wu and depart from xiangfu.
But those imperial guards who were already guarding outside the doorway of Bai Shun Tang unsheathed the long swords in their hands, blocking off the old madam's path. Looking at the white dazzling light of the swords, the old madam was terrified as she suddenly retreated a few big steps back, her face was deathly pale yet her eyes were full of anger as she stared at Superior Wu, then she reprimanded him, “What do you an by this? Don't tell that I'm not allowed to leave xiangfu?”
Superior Wu looked at the old madam who was pestering endlessly, his eyes flashed with impatience, afterwhich he stated in a firm voice “You are not allowed! Please hold your conducts, old mada! The temporary dwelling place of Yun xiang's younger brother was already being surrounded by the imperial guards at this ti. Even if you go over there right now, you won't be able to change the current situation! You'd better remain in xiangfu, do not act blindly without thinking, or else the imperial guards in the doorway will do what they were told!”
After speaking, Superior Wu stepped outside of Bai Shun Tang with large strides, leaving the stupefied old madam behind.
“What… what… what did he say? The Yi Heng brothers, were they being involved by that crazy Yun Xuan Zhi?” After a while, the old madam finally uttered this statent.
Looking at the situation, Rui Mama was afraid that the old madam might not be able to withstand it. Hurriedly she then instructed the servant girls to support old madam to lie down on the bed.
The incident regarding the investigation of xiangfu was quite odd, even the oral command of Emperor Yu Qian was extrely fast, while everybody was caught unprepared, Superior Wu had already exercised control over the entire xiangfu.
During the whole day on the twenty-fourth day, the entire Yun xiangfu was intensely restless.
But, the restless of all the people did not quiet or pacify down, as everyone could only remain in their own respective courtyards under the strict watch of the imperial guard. Whether weeping or grieving, for a mont, the crying, cursing, and complaining sounds in each courtyard, were endless. It was truly annoying.
That sa night, with the absence of the usual tranquility, the darkness of the night was being shattered. There were imperial guards carrying torches as they patrolled all over xiangfu. Tonight, all the people were bound to suffer from insomnia.
Yun Qian ng allowed all the people to return to their rooms to take so rest, then she herself was sitting all alone beside the table waiting for news from Xi Lin.
During midnight, the figure of a person slightly flickered past the window. Yun Qian ng imdiately got up and approached the wooden window. Caught sight of the person outside, she spoke in a lowered voice, “Xiaojie, His Majesty had already issued an imperial decree, all the people in xiangfu will be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. They will select a date to investigate this case. And the accounts book that had recomnded Yun Xiang to be the major examiner, was actually presented by Su Yuan. Xiaojie, why don't you co with as we go back to Chu xiangfu, so as not to make xiangye got worried.”
Hearing the news from Xi Lin, she had not expected that Emperor Yu Qian would act that fast. They had just searched the entire Yun xiangfu during the day, then by night they will imdiately send all the people to the prison.
This ti, she definitely would not hide inside Chu xiangfu. Without definite information yet as to the identity of the person behind all of this, any person or any thing would beco his prey. If she were to act blindly without thinking, perhaps even Chu Fei Yang and Chu Wang would have been implicated into this issue. And when the ti ca that person would take this opportunity to sweep clean all the obstruction, thus her actions would not only help herself, but it might also help the person behind these instead!
“Now isn't the right ti to involve Chu xiangfu yet. You must return back first, if there's anything I would certainly notify you.” Hearing a sound of door being opened so distance away, Yun Qian ng knew that the imperial decree must have already reached xiangfu, then she imdiately requested Xi Lin to depart as quickly as possible, so as to avoid being discovered.
She herself then returned back to her inner room, took out the small box containing the deeds for land and house that Chu Fei Yang had sent her, and took out the secret weapon in the bottom layer and hid it away inside her sleeve, afterwhich she put the small box inside the chest then locked it. Fortunately after she had done all these, the sound of Mu Chun knocking on the door echoed from the doorway.
“Co in!” Lighting the candle stick on the table, Yun Qian ng calmly said.
Obtaining the permission, Mu Chun hastily opened the door and ca in. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, then Yun Qian ng beca aware of the reason why she had rushed over anxiously.
“Xiaojie, His Majesty's imperial decree has arrived! Superior Wu was requesting you to proceed to the Guest Hall to receive the imperial decree.” Seeing Yun Qian ng's calm composure, Mu Chun tensely said.
“Let's go!” Yet Yun Qian ng just indifferently responded, her calm response made Mu Chun to be slightly distracted, after which she nodded her head, lifting up the lantern high in her hands to illuminating Yun Qian ng's path.
But, when Yun Qian ng walked past her own dressing table, she imdiately took out a silver hairpin from a small box then placed it in her hair, then she led Mu Chun as they proceed to the Guest Hall together.
When Yun Qian ng arrived at the Guest Hall, all the masters and slaves were already kneeling down inside the Guest Hall. Even Yun Xuan Mo and his people who were residing at the satellite courtyard were being escorted back to xiangfu preparing to receive the imperial decree.
Not to admit whether it was too much abuse during the dayti, this ti, all the people were in their discouraged expression, aside from lifeless faces they were now apathetic, seemingly as if they have already guessed the final conclusion.
Seeing the old madam leading Yun Xuan Mo and his people as they knelt down at the very front, Yun Qian ng led Yun Yan as they proceeded ahead, then knelt down in a corner.
Superior Wu seeing all the people in xiangfu were already present, lifted open the imperial decree, then he read out coldly, “As the Mandate of Heaven, His Majesty the Emperor hereby ordered that: the Right Minister Yun Xuan Zhi was suspected of engaging in corrupt practices during the current imperial examinations. For the ti being, Yun Yi Heng's title for being a Provincial Top Scorer will be stripped down, including his family mbers, all will be imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, a date will be set for the trial! As ordered by His Majesty the Emperor himself!”
“What did you say?” Hearing Yun Yi Heng's title of Provincial Top Scorer being stripped away, before even receiving the imperial decree, the old madam directly stood up then charged forward against Superior Wu as she yelled out, but after yelling, the old madam's both eyes rolled up, then passed out being unable to take such great changes.
“Mother……” Seeing the old madam like this, Yun Xuan Mo and his people were all scared stiff, full of shock as they imdiately proceeded ahead to support the old madam.
Only Yun Yi Heng's face turned pale white, his looks contained a bit of vicious behavior, then he threw himself at Superior Wu, firmly dragging Superior Wu's arm and roared, “I have earned my own title of Provincial Top Scorer based on my own capabilities. Why would His Majesty strip away my title of Provincial Top Scorer? For what reason? Why should I be the one to bear such consequence for Yun Xuan Zhi's mistakes?”
Superior Wu was watching the chaotic scene unfold before his own eyes, his face seed to be unhappy. Imdiately he allowed the two imperial guards to escort Yun Yi Heng, being the first person to be sent to the prison vehicle.
“Send all of them to the prison!” With this command, all the imperial guards started to take their actions one by one, escorting all the people of xiangfu as they proceeded outside the doorway of xiangfu.
“Wait a mont!” Before all the people reached the main gate, an extrely dignified voice echoed from inside a horse carriage in a distant place.
During the mont when she heard the voice, Yun Qian ng suddenly lifted her head and looked over to the direction of the voice, yet she saw Qu Ling Ao supporting Gu laotaijun as they walked down from the horse carriage, striving step by step as they approached Superior Wu.
