He sighed, "Do you have an answer to the question that day?"
"Of course there is." Xiao Han said calmly.
Then Feng Qingyun asked Butler Wang to see him off.
Butler Wang was sent by Concubine Xiao. Concubine Xiao would know if Han Jinyu came to find her without Xiao Han's words.
Xiao Han just felt that there was no need to continue talking to Han Jinyu, and even if he said a hundred and a thousand words, he would not change anything.
If the time point of her time travel was earlier and she could save her elder sister Xiao Ruolan, the result might be different.
Han Jinyu was inevitably complicated because of Xiao Jiashu's sarcasm, but Tang Xiong, the Marquis of Zhenwu, became much more straightforward. The discovery of Concubine Xiao's resentment towards the Chen family was enough to give him the confidence to enter the palace to see His Majesty.
Although Tang Xiong, the Marquis of Zhenwu, was a martial artist, he was actually very rough and meticulous, cunning, and even more noble and pedantic like ordinary literati, and was entangled in that little thing.
I didn't know who was the enemy before, but now I know it clearly. Since Concubine Xiao can kill the Chen family, I guess the Zhenwu Hou Mansion must have held a grudge because of that incident back then. Not to mention the right and wrong at the beginning, Tang Xiong also knew the principle of eliminating the roots. Since he had formed a life-and-death hatred, he was the enemy.
Han Jinyu did not have the confidence of Zhenwu Hou. From the marriage granting to the present, to the present, if it were all done by Concubine Xiao, then Concubine Xiao would definitely be a strong enemy that should not be underestimated. Zhenwu Hou just thought that he could defeat Concubine Xiao with those insignificant evidence, which was a great idea.
But he still entered the palace with Zhenwu Hou, at least he had to do his best to save his father-in-law and mother-in-law's life.
Sure enough, Zhenwu Hou overestimated his weight and even underestimated Concubine Xiao’s position in the emperor’s heart.
The emperor was indeed surprised to hear about Concubine Xiao’s life experience and his hatred with the Chen family. But he did not believe much of the evidence.
"The Dali Temple was clearly investigated. It was handled by Zhu, who accepted bribes and sued lawsuits. He praised his master as a fourth-rank official in Beijing and his in-laws as a high-ranking official, and he could not do anything. These words were heard by others with his own ears. Do you want to say that this was all done by Concubine Xiao?"
Although the emperor was a little soft-hearted on weekdays, he was still upright and strict when he was serious. Just reading the comments from Dali Temple, you can say the contents casually.
Zhenwuhou's old face turned red, and his boss looked down on this in-laws. He usually flattered him when he met, but it would be fine if he saw a high or a low point when he saw a high or a low point.
He had such shallow eyes and was even more embarrassed by money, which made him embarrassed. However, thinking of his good granddaughter, Zhenwu Hou still pleaded with shame and could not let his grandson-in-law's parents lose their lives.
This dynasty sentenced officials to sue lawsuits very seriously. The result of the Dali Temple ruling was that they would be exiled to Cangzhou after three months.
Any exile who fails to encounter a new emperor ascends the throne will basically not be able to return, so most of them die directly on the way.
The emperor was so upset that he looked at Han Jinyu who had not spoken, "What do Han Aiqing thinks?"
Han Jinyu bowed and said respectfully, "The country has its own laws, and I will let you rule everything."
The emperor felt much better when he heard this, but he still sent them out of the palace without responding to the request of the Marquis of Zhenwu.

As for Concubine Xiao, although Xiao Ruoqiao's appearance is excellent, she is not the most outstanding in the harem, but she has her own tricks to deal with the emperor.
Xiao Ruoqiao did not defend himself against the Chen family, and only Lihua said with rain, "After the elder sister's death, I and my younger brother lived a difficult life at my uncle's house. Can't I even have any resentment?"
He directly explained his resentment towards the Chen family, which made the emperor feel even more pity for her.
Not to mention that little evidence can't prove anything at all. Is it understandable that it is really done?
Furthermore, if Zhu hadn't greedily ignored the laws and regulations, her beloved concubine could have forced her to accept bribes and cover lawsuits with a knife.
At this point, the emperor had become disgusted with the Chen family.
First, in the past, he turned his marriage contract to cling to the powerful and his nobles, and his moral character was dirty and his beloved concubine was lonely. Now he is greedy and violates the national law, and his impression is extremely corrupt.
There was nothing left before because of Han Aiqing and Zhenwuhou's kindness to the Chen family, they thought the Chen family had implicated Han Aiqing's reputation.
Zhenwu Hou Mansion also received news that after the emperor went to Concubine Xiao's Yuheng Palace, he did not punish him and rewarded many rare treasures to show comfort.
Comfort? Zhenwu Hou Mansion was shocked. The Chen family was obviously suffering from it. His Majesty actually comforted Concubine Xiao.
