The Chief Minister's Ferocious Wife

Chapter 531: Cuck The Emperor

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

It was time for the Temple Examination, not too long after the Conference Examination.

The Temple Examination is an exam where the emperor sets the questions, and only those who passed the Conference Examination could attend it. No one would fail this exam, but they would be split into three classes based on their results.

The first class comprises three people: the number one scholar, the number two scholar, and the number three scholar. They would be given the title of advanced scholar with honors. The second class consists of numerous people who would be given the title of privileged advanced scholars. Finally, the third class consists of people who would be given the title of normal advanced scholars.

Unsurprisingly, Xie Heng emerged as the Number One Scholar.

The emperor didn’t want to give it to him, but Xie Hengs performance at the Temple Examination was far too brilliant. If he gave someone else the title, he would probably be scorned by all the scholars in the world when Xie Jun’s identity was announced!

On the day the Number One Scholar was paraded around the city, Zhao Chuchu went as well.

When the daughters of the rich and powerful clans in the Imperial City found out how overwhelmingly handsome the Number One Scholar was, they couldn’t help but gasp at his looks.

Regretfully, this gorgeous man was already married at a young age, and his wife is a renowned doctor. These girls felt heartbroken and had no choice but to look at the number two and three scholars and the other young advanced scholars.

After the parade ended, there was the Qionglin Banquet.

Xie Yan attended the banquet as well.

But no one dared ask him to drink. After all, the Third Prince had just been attacked a few months ago, and it had taken him a long time to recover. Moreover, everyone was worried that they might accidentally bump into him and hurt him somehow, ruining their careers, so they were all extremely cautious.

As the Number One Scholar, Xie Heng wasn’t as lucky as Xie Yan.

Every single advanced scholar tried to feed him alcohol.

Xie Heng and Xie Yan exchanged looks, and they both smiled. How could they hold themselves back from such a rare opportunity?

At the end of the banquet, Xie Heng lay on the table. His entire body smelled like alcohol.

“Mr. Xie? Mr. Xie?” A servant came over and lightly tapped him on the shoulder.

Xie Heng didn’t move at all. He seemed to have passed out from alcohol.

Soon, someone carried him away.

But the person who carried Xie Heng didn’t see him open his eyes. His eyes were clear and attentive, and he wasn’t drunk at all.

Xie Heng was brought into a room.

When they entered the room, Xie Heng suddenly jumped up and attacked the two servants carrying him.

After knocking them unconscious, he dragged the two of them inside, only to find out that a young lady was lying on the bed, similarly unconscious.

That was the niece to whom Sikou Zhendong kept trying to introduce him, Sikou Yun.

Xie Hengs deepest impression of Sikou Yun was when she was abused to death by her husband in his previous life. He didn’t remember anything else about her.

Of course, Xie Heng wouldn’t let the Sikou clan’s plan succeed.

This place was owned by the royal family. So the fact that Sikou Zhendong dared to do this here meant that he had no respect for the emperor.

“Who is this?” Zhao Chuchu appeared beside Xie Heng. Zhao Chuchu was dressed like a eunuch now. She had infiltrated the banquet with the help of Xie Yan. She came to prevent Sikou Zhendong from doing anything funny at the Qionglin Banquet.

“Sikou Yun, a daughter that the Sikou Clan isn’t too fond of.”

“Sikou Zhendongs child?”

“No, his brother’s.’

“Disgusting,” Zhao Chuchu said. “What do we do?”

“Get her out of here. There’s no need to involve her in this ordeal.’ Zhao Chuchu carried Sikou Yun in her arms and left the place.

Xie Heng sat in front of the table and knocked on the tabletop.

He had been planning this for a long time. All he was waiting for was for Sikou Zhendong to do something.

This time, Xie Heng didn’t want to let the Sikou Clan live for long.

Xie Hengs expression looked calm, and he waited patiently.

Soon, Xie Yan sent over a woman.

This woman didn’t have a very good status in the imperial harem. Before she entered the imperial harem, she had some connections with Sikou Zhendong. Sikou Zhendong is quite daring as well. He banked on the fact that the emperor had many wives and wouldn’t care about this woman, so he occasionally had an affair with her.

Back then, when Xie Yan and Xie Jun’s mother died, she was one of the culprits as well.

Based on Sikou Zhendong’s personality, he would come here as soon as possible to ensure the deed was done properly before announcing it to the world. This gave Xie Heng the perfect opportunity.

Having indecent affairs in the royal palace wasn’t a small crime, not to mention that he was cucking the emperor!

Xie Heng used the simplest way he could think of to deal with the Sikou Clan.

Sikou Zhendong knew nothing about this. He looked at the time and thought it was about time, so he brought his men and entered the room that Xie Heng was sent into.

Xie Heng heard the footsteps, so he purposely made some noise.

Sikou Zhendong made his men wait outside. He wanted to go inside himself.

Xie Heng had used up all of his patience. Since he couldn’t use Xie Heng to his advantage, he would have no choice but to ruin him.

Besides, the ninth prince had been found. Xie Heng had a brotherly bond with the ninth prince, and they couldn’t afford to let him live.

Sikou Zhendong didn’t think Xie Heng would be able to fight back. In his eyes, Xie Heng was just a puny, weak scholar.

As a result of underestimating his enemy, he felt a sharp pain in his neck before reaching the bed and then lost consciousness.

Xie Heng held Sikou Zhendong so he wouldn’t fall.

Xie Hengs eyes were terrifyingly calm as he looked at him.

He put Sikou Zhendong on the bed so he would lie with that woman.

After that, it was time for Sikou Zhendongs death.

Sikou Zhendong woke up from the freezing cold.

When he met the emperor’s livid eyes, he still hadn’t realized what had happened.

But the cold water made him shiver uncontrollably.

“Your majesty.” Sikou Zhendong realized that he was kneeling. He was starting to feel that something wasn’t right.

“Sikou Zhendong, how dare you do something like this?” said the emperor through gritted teeth.

Even though he didn’t really have any impression of that woman, that didn’t mean he could accept his subordinate sleeping with his woman!

“Your majesty, I have been framed. I was just doing embroidery at my palace. I don’t know how I ended up here! Someone must be trying to frame me. Please investigate this, your majesty!’

The woman’s voice made Sikou Zhendong jolt awake. He felt like he was plunged into an abyss.

She slowly turned around. He was very familiar with this woman.

But why in front of the emperor?

It’s a dream! It must be a dream!

Sikou Zhendong pinched himself as hard as he could. It hurt so much that he almost jumped up in pain.

The emperor got even madder when he saw Sikou Zhendong do that. He immediately ordered someone to drag Sikou Zhendong out and give him a good beating.

By the time the Empress arrived, Sikou Zhendong was almost dead.

She hurriedly begged, “Your majesty, this must be a misunderstanding. The Duke has always been an honest and upright person. How could he possibly do something so wrong and immoral? Someone must have brought that woman over to frame the Duke and me. Your Majesty, I remember now. Last month, she was disrespectful, so I scolded…”

“Shut up and get out!” yelled the emperor. “Someone bring the Empress back and make sure she doesn’t leave the palace. Otherwise, you will pay with your

The Empress felt a buzzing in her head as her vision turned black.

“It’s finished…” That was her only thought.

When she was dragged out of the room, she passed by Xie Yan and saw him smiling slightly.

The Empress suddenly realized what was happening. She said, “Your Majesty, it’s the Third Prince. He is trying to frame me…”

Xie Yan said calmly, “Are you going mad from anger? I usually stay in my palace and have been recovering from my injury for the past few months. How could I set up something like this to frame you?”

“Besides, you are one of my mothers as well. So why would I do this to you? It’s a little odd that you’re pinning this on me.. Did you do something to me that you feel sorry for?”
