“Your Majesty, everything I say is true. I don’t dare to lie,” the beautiful woman said pitifully. Her eyes were red and filled with tears.

“The Yu family has long harbored rebellious intentions. 50 years ago, they took back the previous dynasty’s Crown Prince and even gathered the remaining members of the previous dynasty in the name of secretly mining mines in Yuzhou, smuggling salt, and even privately forging weapons. They have long had disloyal intentions.”

“As far as 1 know, the Yu family has two accounts. One is Madam Yu’s business on the surface, and the other is these shameful businesses. All the accounts are hidden in Madam Yu’s old residence. Yu Si’s brothers and uncles also know about these things.”

“Also… the boss behind the Zhang Ji Salt Company in the capital is the Yu family. The Yu family used the Zhang Ji Salt Company to sell illicit salt for profit!”

Madam Lei spoke intermittently in a soft and trembling voice.

From the beginning to the end, her small face had been lowered. She stared at the golden brick ground below, not daring to look at the Emperor or the others around her.

After saying the last sentence, she lowered her head and knelt on the ground humbly. She didn’t move, and her body kept trembling.

At this moment, the hall was very quiet. Xiao Shoufu and the others around her heard her very clearly, and their expressions became solemn.

The Yu family was an aristocratic family. If the Yu family was involved in a rebellion, it could be imagined that the Emperor would definitely suppress the other aristocratic families even more.

What followed would be an abnormally difficult battle for the aristocratic families.

Xiao Shoufu and the others exchanged glances without revealing anything, thinking about what they should do next. For a moment, they couldn’t care less.

Behind him, Chu You cast his cold gaze on the trembling Madam Lei. There was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

He had never liked the Emperor and felt that he wasn’t worthy of his position. However, he was a prince of the Great Jin Dynasty. Of course, he didn’t want Madam Yu to help the previous dynasty restore the royal family. A malignant tumor like Madam Yu had to be eliminated as soon as possible. If he allowed her to grow, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Chu You knew the pros and cons.

Chu You’s thoughts raced as he walked to He Lie’s side without revealing anything. His every move was as heavy as thunder, making it impossible for anyone to ignore his existence.

His arrival attracted the attention of everyone present.

Even Chu Yi, who was sitting at the bottom, glanced indifferently in Chu You’s direction. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and one hand gently touched the small mark of the blood stone on his waist.

Xiao Shoufu and the Minister of Revenue, Wang Kangyin, frowned deeply.

Madam Lei had been found in the Gu family’s second branch’s residence by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. It was obvious that Kang Wang had entered the palace at this time for Gu Yunrong.

He Lie calmly cupped his fists at the Emperor and said, “Your Majesty, I’ve already asked the Embroidered Uniform Guards to investigate the salt business. We’ll be able to get the results today.”

“Your Majesty, please send the Embroidered Uniform Guards to Yuzhou immediately to investigate the Gu family’s accomplices!”

As he spoke, He Lie deliberately glanced at Chu You with a provocative expression.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards were never afraid of trouble. They only needed to explain their actions to the Emperor alone. This was the foundation of the Embroidered Uniform Guards’ standing in the royal court.

“Commander He.” Chu You’s eyes were as cold as a pool of cold water. He snorted coldly and said, “That’s a separate matter. The Yu family’s rebellion is unforgivable. If you want to arrest the Yu family, I won’t stop you. However, your Embroidered Uniform Guards sealed the Gu family today. Could it be that you’re deliberately ruining my marriage?”

Everyone knew that the Embroidered Uniform Guards were the Emperor’s men. Chu You’s words accused the Emperor of deliberately obstructing his marriage.

“You flatter me.” He Lie clasped his hands. “I’m doing business. The Gu family hid the remaining members of the Yu family. They should be punished as well!” New chapters are published on Noᴠelꜰire

A sharp and cold light flashed across Chu You’s eyes. He looked down at Madam Lei and questioned coldly, “Madam Lei, tell me, who hid you?”

Madam Lei, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, finally straightened her upper body. Her eyes darkened, and her body couldn’t help but sway, making her look even more delicate and pitiful.

Madam Lei swallowed and said in a trembling voice, “It’s the old lady of the Gu family… Madam Gu.”

As she spoke, she glanced timidly in Chu You’s direction. She looked pitiful. Her red eyes were filled with tears, as if she was frightened by Chu You’s sharp gaze and oppressive aura. Her pale face suddenly turned green.

“If you’re not related to her, why did Old Madam Gu take you in?” Chu You’s eyes were fixed on Madam Lei as he asked again, not giving her any chance to think..
