I manage female characters in all the heavens.

Zhu Wushi was taken aback, and called out in confusion, "Yunluo?"

Yunluo put down the folding cloth covering her face, exposing her flushed face and fiery eyes to everyone.

Zhu Wushi was startled, wondering if he had unknowingly offended his niece with something he said, thus angering her.

"You bastard, you bastard, you're absolutely outrageous! You're just bullying me!"

Yunluo slammed his fist on the table, making a loud bang, and even tried to flip it over, but Zhu Wushi held him down and prevented him from doing so.

She tried to sweep away the large pile of memorials on the table, but several eunuchs rushed up to steady her. She couldn't sweep them away, and she was so angry that her eyes were filled with tears.

Zhu Wushi asked, bewildered, "Yunluo, what's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong that made you angry?"

Upon hearing this, Yunluo showed a wronged expression, unfolded the folded paper in her hand that had been crumpled, and handed it to Zhu Wushi.

Zhu Wushi quickly glanced at the contents and was speechless.

It turned out to be a memorial from the Censorate, a mere few hundred words, yet filled with extremely insulting language, severely criticizing Princess Yunluo.

They claimed that the reason the Ming Dynasty was in such a state of decline was entirely due to Princess Yunluo's manipulation of the emperor.

The list also included many fabricated charges that Yunluo had committed, and suggested that the emperor quickly strip Yunluo of her title, demote her to a commoner, and send her to a remote area to work in the mines.

Zhu Wushi was greatly impressed and thought to himself, "My Great Ming has brave warriors who dare to write such a memorial."

At the same time, I can't help but sigh at the attitude of the Ming Dynasty officials. If such a memorial can be submitted to the emperor after layers of review, then it is truly without any review at all!

He knew Yunluo well. Although she was showered with love and affection, she didn't have the spoiled, willful, or unruly princess syndrome. Her poor reputation was simply due to her taking the blame for the emperor a few times.

To say that she did anything that would incur divine wrath or public outrage would be entirely untrue.

This report is completely unreasonable, even fabricating numerous charges to slander Yunluo. The wording is extremely vicious, no wonder it angered Yunluo so much.

Let alone Yunluo, an innocent young girl, being criticized like this, even Zhu Wushi, as an observer, felt angry after reading this.

Even if he wanted to rebel, he was still a member of the Zhu family, and Yunluo was his niece!

Zhu Wushi's eyes turned slightly cold. Such a minister could not be allowed to live; a heavy blow had to be dealt with.

He had already decided to let this guy and his whole family die under the blade of the God of Slaughter.

Upon learning the contents of the memorial, everyone else in the hall was also greatly shocked.

Princess Yunluo was only acting as the emperor for one day, but she just happened to see such a vicious and slanderous memorial that was meant to put her to death. What a coincidence!

What luck!

Pi Xiaotian's eyes shifted several times before his expression hardened, and he resolutely stepped forward to pledge his loyalty to the acting emperor.

"Your Highness, this memorial is no ordinary slander; it's treason! It must be dealt with severely! Please hand this matter over to the Eastern Depot. I swear, I will make the person who wrote this memorial repent in the deepest remorse!"

Yunluo took several deep breaths to suppress her anger, took back the document, and looked at the name at the bottom of the document.

Cheng Huaizhang, Right Vice Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.

Very well, a mere Right Vice Censor-in-Chief, a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, has the audacity to spew such filth and attack me!

You bombard me with words, I'll bombard you with real cannons!

"Pi Xiaotian, listen to my command!"

Pi Xiaotian was overjoyed and immediately knelt down on one knee. Now he was no longer an internal affairs eunuch, but a secret agent of the Eastern Depot!

"I hereby appoint you as the acting head of the Eastern Depot, in charge of all its affairs! Mobilize your subordinates to investigate, inquire, and visit!"

"Investigate Cheng Huaizhang's family, clan, teachers, confidants, friends, and so on thoroughly. Don't miss a single one!"

Zhu Wushi frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but he held back in the face of the situation.

Everyone was shocked; this meant the extermination of nine generations of their family!

However, that's to be expected!

Yunluo's voice continued, chillingly cold:

"And this memorial, it was submitted through the Censorate, and it has to go through several layers of review, including the Left and Right Vice Censors-in-Chief, the Left and Right Censors-in-Chief, and a few old guys in the Cabinet. They all have to take a look."

"Since it passed the review and was submitted here, it means they all agree with the contents of this memorial. That's great! The treacherous minister has jumped out himself!"

"Investigate! Investigate them thoroughly, from top to bottom, up to the lowest level, including the Prime Minister!"

Everyone was shocked; this was an opportunity to clean up the officialdom!

His Majesty the Acting Emperor is very ambitious; I support him!

"Furthermore, Cheng Huaizhang holds a position in the court, so he must have some close officials. Anyone who is close to him is likely a scoundrel. Investigate their entire family history!"

“Those close to him will naturally have their own close relatives as well. They are probably all in cahoots, and their entire families should be investigated!”

"Once we've found out the truth, there's no need to arrest them. Just send out the troops and artillery to blast them all to smithereens and execute them on the spot!"

Huh? Everyone was stunned. This can't be serious, can it?

Pi Xiaotian's back was soaked with cold sweat, and he was kneeling on the ground, almost unable to breathe.

Good heavens, if we investigate like this, the list will probably contain hundreds of thousands of people. If we kill them all, the entire court will be empty!

This job is too challenging. Pi Xiaotian feels he is not up to the task. He fears that if he starts the investigation today, he will be chopped into mincemeat and die by suicide that very night.

Moreover, if the investigation continues like this, in the end they, and even the princess herself, will end up on the list, and then they will be executed on the spot?

Your Highness, perhaps you should reconsider? You're essentially rebelling against yourself!

Even Zhu Wushi was shocked by Yunluo's ruthlessness and quickly stood up to comfort her.

If you do things this way, our entire Zhu family will be wiped out. Absolutely not!

He persuaded the enraged acting emperor until his throat was dry and he had finished a pot of tea.

The order was adjusted, and the target was now only Cheng Huaizhang's nine generations of relatives. He was to be dismissed from his post and investigated, and then be executed along with his entire family once they were all in custody.

Zhu Wushi sat down with satisfaction, but before he knew it, sweat was beading on his forehead.

Fortunately, the outcome was good; he prevented his angry niece from destroying the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as a great deed.

He didn't realize that he had completely given up on his original plan to help Iron Claw Eagle take the opportunity to become the head of the Eastern Depot.

After Zhu Wushi left, "Yunluo" immediately recovered from her rage and smiled.

The eunuchs exchanged bewildered glances. Had the princess been faking her anger? They hadn't noticed at all!

Pi Xiaotian's mind raced, and in an instant he understood the Princess's purpose in doing this.

As soon as Zhu Wushi mentioned that the Eastern Depot could not be without a leader for a day, this incident occurred. In her great anger, the princess appointed him as the acting supervisor, in charge of investigating Cheng Huaizhang. This was something that Zhu Wushi was unwilling to do, but someone had to do it.

Thus, he successfully became the acting supervisor of the Eastern Depot, and his biggest obstacle, the Iron-Blooded Marquis, did not even utter a single word about it.

The princess is a master strategist and an actress of unparalleled skill!

"Pi Xiaotian, from now on you will be the head of the Eastern Depot. You must do your best to serve me."

"Here is a manual for you to take back and practice. It may not be the most powerful, but it has many wonderful uses and should be enough to help you advance further. It is very suitable for you."

A copy of the Sunflower Manual was handed to Pi Xiaotian. He opened it and found that the skill was indeed profound and mysterious, and he couldn't understand it at all. However, he recognized the first few words: "To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself." He realized that this was indeed very suitable for him.

The princess has been incredibly kind to me!

Tears even welled up in Pi Xiaotian's eyes: "Your Highness, this servant will repay your great kindness with my life!"

Yunlu waved his hand: "You are a talented person, and I value you highly. With Chief Supervisor Cao missing, you are undoubtedly the most suitable candidate to inherit the Eastern Depot, so I will help you out."

"You can absolutely believe that loyalty will bring you a brighter future."

"We look forward to your performance as the supervisor."

Pi Xiaotian left with tears in his eyes to help the princess investigate the rebels.

He vowed that no matter how well Cheng Huaizhang hid his entire clan, he would search high and low to find them all and do his utmost to serve the princess!

Watching Pi Xiaotian leave, the Eastern Depot was finally in his grasp, but Yunluo's expression was far from relaxed.

Her previous anger wasn't an act; she genuinely wanted to go on a killing spree, but Zhu ignored her and wouldn't allow it, so she regretfully gave up. Now she's in a bad mood, and what she did just now was a forced smile.

On the other hand, Gu Santong most likely went to Tianshan. Once he confirms Suxin's condition, he will definitely come back to get Tianxiang Doukou from me.

If he continues his madness and storms into the palace to forcibly seize it, he would indeed be a great threat.

After much deliberation, Yunluo finally decided to take a risk and first take out a Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to exchange for the Absorption Technique with Zhu Wushi.

Of course, she couldn't do it herself; she needed some pawns who would die for her without hesitation.

Fortunately, with the Eastern Depot in her hands, the Heavenly Prison naturally fell under her control as well, and there were plenty of talented people to choose from inside.

Chapter 107 Damn it, this demonic art is incredibly powerful!

After Zhu Wushi left, he haphazardly processed some memorials for Zhu Houzhao, and "Yunluo" quickly lost interest in them.

She tossed the memorial she had just finished approving onto the table, then lay down on Zhu Houzhao's dragon throne, utterly bored.

She didn't want to do her work, didn't want to listen to reports, had nothing to practice her martial arts, and couldn't move forward with her plans. There was no one to play with, and an overwhelming emptiness welled up in her heart.

Chang Lin, observing the emperor's demeanor, noticed his boredom and suggested, "Various entertainment activities have been prepared. Would Your Highness like to take a look?"

"Great! Great!" the princess exclaimed repeatedly, giving Chang Lin a thumbs up in her heart.

What an excellent and loyal minister! He didn't care what it would do to the country if he advised the emperor to give up his work; he only wanted His Majesty to live happily and freely.

At this moment, Yunluo fully understood why so many emperors throughout history trusted various treacherous officials and confided in them. These officials truly treated the emperor as a human being, not a god, and were willing to do anything for the emperor's personal benefit!

Just as Chang Lin was about to take the princess out for some entertainment, Xiao Man, the princess's personal maid who had caught a cold yesterday due to the shock of visiting the Eastern Depot and was left in the princess's palace today, suddenly ran over.

"Xiao Man, are you better now?" the princess asked, somewhat puzzled.

Xiaoman was not well; her nose was still stuffy, her voice was muffled, and she seemed listless: "Princess, Miss Cheng came to the palace to see you, saying she had something urgent to discuss. Didn't you say you would be informed of her matter in person immediately? So I had no choice but to come."

Yunluo checked her memory but had no recollection of issuing such an order. However, Xiaoman was going to work despite being ill, so it was clearly not a baseless accusation.

Yunluo was probably just saying it casually and has long forgotten about it.

Tsk, why do I suddenly feel a little guilty? This wasn't my doing at all, it's all Yunluo's fault!

After a moment's recollection, "Yunluo" found her memories of this Miss Cheng.

As a princess, Yunluo lived in the capital and had her own social circle. The Empress Dowager, the Empress, the concubines, the princesses, and many young ladies from the families of high-ranking officials in the capital were all in her circle.

Because she loved dancing since childhood and disliked the things women are supposed to like, she didn't get along with most of her peers in the industry, resulting in having very few friends.
