Only seven days left to live? She goes crazy and kills

Chapter 71 A person of integrity is not afraid of his own shadow

"I am the evidence myself." Yan Donghuang ignored the words of Concubine De and Yan Ming, and said in a cold and firm tone, "I am willing to personally take people to the Chu family. If it is proved that I have wronged Minister Chu, I am willing to accept any punishment!"

Yan Ming stood up and looked at Yan Donghuang firmly: "Donghuang, it is not in accordance with the rules to search the homes of court officials without any evidence! If everyone does this, where is the legal principle? Where is the prestige of the emperor? You are a princess who leads troops, you should know how easy it is to break rules and trust, and how difficult it is to rebuild them-"

"If someone is willing to risk their life to impeach, this princess's mansion will be searched by anyone." Yan Donghuang's voice was cold.

Yan Ming choked: "Who would search your mansion? Now you are saying that there is no evidence--"

"Who said there is no evidence?" Yan Donghuang interrupted him coldly, "I have received several secret letters in my hands. Whoever suppressed the impeachment of the ministers knows it. If these are not considered evidence, then is the weight of this witness enough?"

Yan Ming said angrily: "How can you be a witness?"

"I am a witness." Yan Donghuang said coldly, "If what I said is not true, it means that I have committed perjury. Everyone present knows how to deal with perjury. I will let you deal with it!"

Yan Ming stared at her silently, Liang After a long time, disappointment gradually emerged in her eyes: "Just because Minister Chu disagrees with you being the Crown Princess, you have to retaliate against him like this?"

"Second brother deliberately diverts the focus, and is very good at confusing right and wrong." Yan Donghuang sneered, "It's a pity that I am not interested in arguing with you, you can think whatever you want."

After that, she turned her head and looked at Emperor Wu Lie: "Father, I impeach Minister Chu for embezzling military pay and enriching himself. Please allow me to personally lead people to search the Chu family. If what I said is untrue, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Emperor Wu Lie thought for a moment and nodded slowly: "I agree with you."

"Thank you, father." Yan Donghuang saluted, turned around and left.

A black dress set off her upright figure. Although her figure was as slender as a woman, her momentum was not weak at all. Instead, she had a cold and arrogant oppressive feeling that made people afraid.

Yan Ming stared at her back in silence, his heart sinking continuously. He retracted his gaze only when Yan Donghuang walked out of the palace gate.

Turning his head to meet the cold and oppressive eyes of Emperor Wu Lie, Yan Ming's heart shuddered, he knelt back without saying a word, and his hands hanging by his side slowly tightened.

When Yan Donghuang walked out of the palace, he saw seven generals standing outside the palace.

Their expressions were also extremely surprised, and seven pairs of eyes looked straight at Yan Donghuang, as if to confirm the truth.

They just heard the voice in the palace that the emperor wanted to make the princess the crown princess.

This matter was obviously too sudden and absurd... In the eyes of the ministers and princes, it was indeed absurd.

And Yan Donghuang's eyes swept across the faces of the seven generals, and her thoughts were briefly dazed. The kind of intimacy that was so close yet seemed to have been lost for a long time made her heart palpitate.

She let out a long breath, and there was no more severe pain in her lungs that made her life worse than death.

Yan Donghuang accepted the fact as quickly as possible and calmly ordered: "Yaoguang, Chiran, each of you will dispatch 200 people and follow me to the residence of Minister Chu."

Feng Yaoguang and Gu Chiran accepted the order: "Yes!"

In the quiet hall, Minister Chu's face turned pale and he knelt down in a hurry to cry out: "Your Majesty, I am innocent, I am innocent——"

"I know you are innocent." Emperor Wu Lie's tone was cold, not distinguishing between joy and anger, "But the princess said you are corrupt, you must prove your innocence, otherwise how can I believe you?"

"But the princess has no evidence——"

"She said that if she wronged you, she is willing to accept any punishment." Emperor Wu Lie's tone was full of pressure, "Since you are so opposed to her being the crown prince, you might as well take a gamble. If she wronged you, I will withdraw my order and appoint another crown prince."

After saying this, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was tired: "In order to prove the innocence of Minister Chu, you will wait with me."

Minister Chu's face turned pale and he looked at Yan Ming anxiously.

Yan Ming looked even more flustered than him, because of the sudden abnormal attitude of his father and Yan Donghuang.

What happened to Donghuang?

Did someone instigate her, or was she ambitious? Years of holding military power made her desire for power and wanted to become the master of the world?

What a wishful thinking.

So what if a woman can fight? When she gets married in the future, she should take care of her husband and children, and put her husband first?

Husband?

Yan Ming was startled, and suddenly a little hope arose in her heart when she thought of Sheng Jingan who was mourning at home.

Maybe she should let Sheng Jingan ask her what was going on.

But how to solve this dilemma now?

His uncle is in charge of the Ministry of War, which is one of his bargaining chips for the throne.

If something happens to him, it is equivalent to having one arm cut off, and he will even have no hope of competing for the throne.

"Father." Yan Ming spoke carefully, "Dong Huang is good at leading troops in battle, but she knows nothing about the court and the treacherous nature of people. I guess she is being used by someone..."

"Why are you so anxious?" Emperor Wu Lie opened his eyes. Even though he was weak, his eyes still showed a terrifying pressure. "Whether it was instigated by a traitor or impeached by someone, Dong Huang only took people to search. He would not convict Minister Chu without evidence."

Yan Ming's face was pale: "But..."

"If you are upright, you have nothing to fear." Emperor Wu Lie closed his eyes again, "If Minister Chu is innocent, I will not only hold Dong Huang accountable, but also compensate you for the grievances you have suffered. You don't have to worry."

Yan Ming choked and knelt on the ground, looking extremely ugly.

Defei looked at Minister Chu anxiously, wondering if the gold and silver in his family were well hidden, and whether Yan Donghuang could easily find them.

Officials have limited salaries, and even if they occasionally receive rewards or other income, they cannot be too exaggerated.

If a few thousand taels of silver can be found in the house, today's matter can still pass safely. If a large amount of money is found and the source cannot be explained, I am afraid...

Chu Minister Chu's forehead has been covered with cold sweat.

Defei saw his expression, and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She couldn't help cursing Yan Donghuang for taking the wrong medicine. Why did he suddenly attack his uncle?

There must be a traitor who instigated the discord.

Defei turned her head to look at the Imperial Concubine, the Virtuous Concubine and the Shu Concubine, her eyes gloomy and full of hostility.

She wanted to know which bitch framed her at this time.

Could it be that because the emperor was about to die and they were worried that Yan Ming would seize the throne, they let Yan Donghuang know about Minister Chu's corruption?

How cunning and despicable, shameless and mean!
