The peasant girl has a private space, and her husband is handsome.

When Vice Minister Luo heard that Su Qianqian had been arrested and imprisoned in Shuntian Prefecture, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.

He had been feeling unwell for some time, but upon receiving the news, he immediately recovered.

In the middle of the night, he even had Fan Dajiang wake up the cook in the main kitchen to cook his favorite lotus seed porridge.

Because of his good mood, Vice Minister Luo thought the lotus seed porridge tasted especially good that night.

As he ate, he recalled what had happened in the Luo family over the past six months and felt that the decline of the Luo family had all started with the appearance of Su Qianqian.

The Luo family was originally happy and well-off, but ever since that little girl appeared, the Luo mansion has been in chaos.

The eldest son, whom she had carefully raised for decades, turned out to be not her biological son. He was even exiled for murder, and her wife was bedridden as a result, and she is still not well.

The family's money was dwindling, and they were now in dire straits.

All this misfortune began with the appearance of that girl; she was the nemesis of the Luo family.

He had been trying to deal with that girl, but to no avail. It was only because the Prince of Nan Yue had so much influence that he could easily get the girl thrown into prison.

Tomorrow he'll add fuel to the fire; he must kill that girl to avenge the Luo family.

Fan Dajiang was sleeping in the outer room. He had finally fallen asleep when he was woken up by Vice Minister Luo.

"Dajiang, have the kitchen staff buy more groceries tomorrow and have a proper celebratory feast."

"Yes, sir."

Fan Dajiang was quite annoyed. Couldn't a man get any sleep? No wonder the Luo family had fallen into such a state; it turned out that Minister Luo was using all his energy on internal strife and dealing with his own granddaughter.

Master, you should just celebrate. You'll only end up being disappointed. Someone as capable as Miss Su won't fall down so easily.

There were quite a few people who were just as happy as Minister Luo.

For example, Prime Minister Feng.

Prime Minister Feng felt victory was in sight. He saw that Emperor Jing of Qi was biased towards the Nanyue Kingdom and planned to use this bias to guide Emperor Jing and make him severely punish Miss Su.

Keep it up! If you just put in a little more effort, you'll definitely be able to kill that girl.

Prime Minister Feng's leg was still not healed, so he could have skipped court, but he got up before the rooster crowed and had someone carry him to the morning court session.

When the morning court session was almost over, Prime Minister Feng began his performance.

"Your Majesty, our Great Qi governs with virtue and values ​​friendship with foreign lands above all else. Miss Su has offended the Seventh Prince of Nan Yue, which has damaged the reputation of our Great Qi. I implore Your Majesty to severely punish Miss Su."

Vice Minister Luo and Lord Lu, among others, quickly stood up and seconded Prime Minister Feng's words.

Lord Lu: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Huainan has always wanted to unite with Nanyue to deal with Daqi. Please do not discourage Nanyue and push them towards the Prince of Huainan."

Minister Luo said with a righteous expression, "Yes, Your Majesty, you must appease the Seventh Prince of Nan Yue. I am willing to put righteousness above family ties and ask Your Majesty to execute Miss Su to appease Nan Yue."

Lord Xue never expected that the person shouting the loudest would be Miss Su's own grandfather. Minister Luo was so eager to kill his own granddaughter. Well done! From now on, he no longer needs to show mercy to Minister Luo because he is Miss Su's relative.

Imperial Censor Kong was even angrier than Lord Xue.

Without a single piece of evidence, they want to execute Miss Su! Is there no law left?

He was as stubborn as a rock, and no one, from the emperor to the ministers, escaped his verbal abuse.

Imperial Censor Kong ran up to Prime Minister Feng and his entourage, pointing his finger at them and cursing, "Prime Minister Feng, Vice Minister Luo, you're really something! Are the Southern Yue people your fathers? Why are you so eager to grovel?"

Prime Minister Feng's leg was still not healed, so he was carried into the main hall. Now, he was being scolded by Imperial Censor Kong, but he couldn't move an inch. He was so angry that he was about to roll his eyes back.

After reprimanding the ministers, Imperial Censor Kong then turned his attention to Emperor Jing of Qi, saying, "Your Majesty, groveling will not bring you dignity..."

Emperor Jing of Qi thought to himself: I can tolerate you criticizing your ministers, but don't try to shift the blame onto me, the emperor.

Did I grovel? Oh, perhaps a little, but it was all for the good of Daqi.

If we offend Nanyue, and Nanyue joins forces with the King of Huainan, the Great Qi will be in grave danger.

Emperor Qi Jing's right arm was throbbing with pain; he had been beaten by his maternal uncle, Marquis Guiping, the previous night.

He wanted to teach Marquis Guiping a lesson, but then the Empress Dowager came over and threatened to kill herself, taking a rope and saying she would hang herself at the door of the Imperial Study.

Emperor Jing of Qi did not want to be a tyrant who forced his own mother and uncle to their deaths, so he could only swallow his anger.

By siding with Marquis Guiping, Mother was essentially siding with Miss Su.

Later, Emperor Qi Jing felt distressed and wanted to go to Fengming Palace to talk to the Empress about his feelings.

As a result, the empress also refused to see him, saying that he was an absolute tyrant for imprisoning the heroes of the Great Qi.

Now that Imperial Censor Kong has also come to criticize him, the emperor feels very uncomfortable, as if he has been betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

Imperial Censor Kong removed his official hat and threw it in the center of the hall. "If Your Majesty insists on killing Miss Su, I will smash my body against a pillar and splatter blood on the spot."

He was stubborn, but also very grateful. Miss Su saved his mother, so it was a case of repaying a life with a life, and they were even.

Emperor Qi Jing's face turned ashen. This was a blatant threat. Did they really think he wouldn't dare to kill anyone?

Minister Qin of the Ministry of War also stepped forward, "Your Majesty, whether Nan Yue will join forces with the King of Huainan depends on Nan Yue's strength. Nan Yue is ambitious and will not let go of the opportunity if it has the ability to destroy Da Qi. The reason it has not made a move now is because it is wary of Miss Su. If Miss Su dies, Nan Yue will definitely invade Da Qi."

Last night, he sent his wife to visit Su in prison in Shuntian Prefecture. When she returned, she said that although Miss Su was doing quite well in prison, she had no freedom.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su has risked her life for the Great Qi, repeatedly defeating the rebel army of the Prince of Huainan, and was also at the forefront during the snow disaster. Treating a hero like this will dishearten the people."

Minister Qin was a very upright man. Over the years, he devoted all the money in the Qin family to helping retired soldiers and veterans.

In the most recent fundraising event, Miss Su contributed the most, for which Minister Qin was particularly grateful.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su is a heroine of the Great Qi. If Your Majesty insists on killing Miss Su, then kill this humble servant as well."

Lord Xue produced a secret letter.

"Your Majesty, this was given to me by the Empress of Western Xia. She asked me to pass it on to Your Majesty. It was a letter from the Southern Yue Kingdom to the Empress of Western Xia last winter, proposing to join forces with Western Xia to attack the Great Qi."

Duke Anguo was heartbroken upon hearing Lord Xue's words. "Your Majesty, last winter, our Great Qi donated three hundred carts of grain to Nanyue under extremely difficult conditions. And this is how Nanyue repaid Great Qi. Nanyue is an ungrateful wretch."

Eunuch Fu took the letter from Lord Xue and presented it to Emperor Qi Jing.

Emperor Qi Jing was increasingly alarmed. Last winter, when Qi was besieged on all sides and facing its most difficult time, Nan Yue actually wanted to collude with Xi Xia to divide up Qi.

Lord Xue said loudly, "Your Majesty, the Empress of Western Xia has said that if Great Qi dares to kill Miss Su, it will be considered an enemy of Western Xia."
