After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 251 The Last One

News of Princess Nanyue's capture of noble families spread throughout the capital, and the court officials involved all remained secluded at home.

Some knelt outside the Imperial Study, begging His Majesty for forgiveness, while others angrily condemned Princess Nanyue's tyranny.

Emperor Shi Zheng ignored him and took his wife to the small garden to pick ripe vegetables.

Ding Lan squatted in the vegetable garden with a worried look on her face, absentmindedly picking vegetables.

"Honey, are we really not going to help the baby?"

The thought of her baby facing those wolves and tigers alone broke her heart.

Shi Zheng paused in picking vegetables, his face serious and his brows furrowed.

"hold on."

If one cannot even overcome this setback, how can one become the emperor of Nanyue?

"Wait, wait, wait again."

Ding Lan was furious and grabbed a stick to smash it.

"Shi Zheng, all you think about is the throne. Is the throne more important than your daughter? You're using the daughter I gave birth to with such difficulty as a tool. It makes me so angry."

Emperor Shi Zheng skillfully dodged, "Wife, wife, calm down. I'm only doing this for our daughter's sake."

The most honorable emperor and empress of Nanyue chased each other around the vegetable garden, completely ignoring the court officials kneeling outside the imperial study.

This matter naturally reached Shi Nuanyu's ears as well. She leaned against Tao Huiyan's chest, watching with glee as the noble young man was beaten until his skin was torn and bleeding.

It's good to be a bad guy.

The treasures resounded loudly as they read aloud their sins.

With each recitation, a stick would fall on them once.

"It's a pity we can't imprison them all."

Shi Nuanyu sighed. These powerful families were intertwined and their influence was far-reaching. Without absolute certainty, it was impossible to deal with them.

Tao Huiyan understood. "Your Highness intends to take action against the aristocratic families?"

The Tao family were merchants, not even in the eyes of high-ranking officials and noble families; they had money but no power.

The excessive power of aristocratic families led to instability in the court and made it difficult for the royal family to govern.

Without checks and balances, corrupt officials will inevitably emerge in the Southern Moon court sooner or later.

Hua Lingyan blinked, seemingly lost in thought, and earnestly took her hand.

"Sister, Ah Ling will kill people."

Hua Lingyan thought to herself: Sending the Feathered Dragon Guards out to investigate the aristocratic families will definitely help His Highness.

"puff."

Shi Nuanyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and patted A-Ling's head.

"Sometimes fighting and killing can't solve the problem. We need to think and use strategies to defeat them one by one."

If only she had X-ray vision, she could know their crimes.

Today's actions are merely a public warning to them, letting the aristocratic families know the royal family's attitude.

"That's it," he said coldly, glancing at the miserable young nobles. "Today they offended me, and I am very displeased. Lock them up in the dungeon, and no one is allowed to visit them. Anyone who disobeys will be executed."

News of Princess Nanyue's brutal punishment of the people in the streets spread far and wide, and those who did not know the full story cursed her in their hearts.

The gates of the great Confucian scholar Wenyuan's residence were surrounded by students who pleaded with him to come forward and teach Princess Nanyue, and to clear her name.

Wen Yuan, the great Confucian scholar, is Wen Yiqiu's father and also Princess Nanyue's former teacher. It would be best if he could handle this matter.

“Father, Princess Nanyue was of terrible character before, but since she took her own punishment, everything she has done has been for the benefit of the people. Princess Nanyue opened the women’s examination, the northern border was brought to submission, she brought benefits to the people, and she even saved her daughter from dire straits.”

Wen Yiqiu knelt on the ground, holding a thorn bush high in her hand, to persuade her father on behalf of the students.

"Father, please put aside your grudges and clear Princess Nanyue's name."

She knew that her actions were a slap in the face to her father. After being angered to the point of fainting by Princess Nanyue, her father had declared that he would no longer teach Princess Nanyue and would no longer serve the royal family.

He ceased serving in the government due to the misconduct of the royal family.

As a daughter, she wanted her father to break his vow.

The students standing outside the door heard it clearly and spoke in unison.

"We earnestly request Mr. Wenyuan to clear Princess Nanyue's name."

The erudite scholar Wenyuan stood in his study, gazing at the calligraphy and painting of "Noble Character and Lofty Integrity" hanging on the wall. After a long while, he sighed almost imperceptibly and replaced it with "Peace and Happiness for the People." A teacher should impart the Way; only with a clear and open mind can one be in harmony with the Way. Clinging to the past and harboring resentment is thwarted; thwart leads to ignorance, and ignorance leads to a wasted life.

Ultimately, it was because he cared too much about empty fame.

"Tomorrow I will be going to Tai'an Academy to give a lecture. Please ask the dean if there is a place available for me to teach."

Wen Yiqiu was overjoyed, "The position of Dean of Tai'an Academy awaits the arrival of the esteemed Confucian scholar Wen Yuan."

This was the result of their discussion. With the great Confucian scholar Wenyuan presiding over Tai'an Academy, there was no need to worry about a lack of students.

The erudite scholar Wenyuan bluntly stated, "A mere instructor or advisor is sufficient; there's no need to make a big fuss."

Wen Yiqiu knew her father's temperament and stopped insisting. As long as someone was willing to step in, that was fine.

The students were overjoyed that the great scholar Wenyuan had stepped forward, which dispelled the rumors about Princess Nanyue. Their efforts were worthwhile.

"Master, this is the whole story."

Tianxun respectfully reported, recounting in detail what Princess Nanyue had done that day.

Qinghe smiled gently as he stroked the piece of wood in his hand.

“Our prince is quite capable; in this way, those noble families will not dare to go too far.”

Tianxun thought to himself: It's His Highness, the master's prince. Whatever His Highness does is right.

"However, there are still some things to consider."

Qinghe picked up the letter and wrote a few words: "Act according to plan."

“Send people to protect the great Confucian scholar Wen Yuan. Those aristocratic scions in the prison need not be fed and clothed. Let them spit out something.”

Nuannuan acts too kindly and needs more training.

After putting the letter in an envelope, Qinghe casually inquired.

Where is Your Highness?

After all that commotion, it's time to come back.

"Your Highness is in the Beauty Pavilion."

Tianxun lowered his head even further, not daring to look at his master's face.

Beauty Pavilion.

The smile on Qinghe's face vanished, and he clenched the wooden object in his hand.

The poison of frost cannot be cured without pure yang energy; only one person remains.

“Find a pretext for the Department of Punishments to divert the painting of Lingyan.”

After tonight, they will be useless.

From now on, Nuannuan will belong to him alone.

It borders the Crown Prince's Palace to the north.

Knowing the whole story, Yu Changfeng was in a great mood and leisurely fished by the pond.

"It's quite interesting that the Southern Moon royal family has such a secret."

The poison of ice, seven pure yang bodies—Empress Nan Yue was willing to sacrifice face for her daughter.

In this way, the Divine Doctor Valley's death was not unjust; daring to poison Princess Nanyue, their extermination was not an exaggeration.

There are still doubts about this matter. Why would the Divine Doctor Valley dare to risk their lives to do such a rebellious thing?

The Valley of Divine Healers is not a vassal state of any country, and nothing should be able to threaten them.

Well, he'll find out sooner or later.

Thinking back to the time I spent with Nuannuan in the mountain village, a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

Who will prepare the dowry for the future emperors of the two countries?

The Grand Preceptor of Nanyue is meticulous and must already know about this.

"Reply: I will cooperate with him."

He wanted to see just how far he could go.
That person also wanted to compete.

Wuliang accepted the order to reply, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Princess Nanyue is truly a bewitching beauty, she has my master completely bewitched, and he is like a lost soul whenever he thinks of her.

If he learns to please Princess Nanyue and says more words of blessing to his mistress, he will receive many rewards.

That's really clever.
