Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Was the older brother of the Empress really going to rebel?

At this moment, Prime Minister Shen and the people in his faction became nervous.

Lord Jia and Prime Minister Shen were not on good terms. If Lord Jia succeeded, would the people in Prime Minister Shen’s faction still have a good life?

In particular, Minister Shen was shocked and fearful.

That was right. For the first time in many years, he was fearful of Jia Kun.

Recently, his disputes with Jia Kun had become more and more frequent. He did expect that Jia Kun would one day clash with him openly.

However, he never thought that Jia Kun would have the guts to rebel.

Based on Jia Kun’s temperament, if he really succeeded in his rebellion, Minister Shen, as the number one thorn in Jia Kun’s eyes, would definitely end up in a miserable state.

Minister Shen forced himself to calm down.

Then, he shouted, “What do you mean by purging evil ministers? Jia Kun, you are a traitor! Everyone has the right to kill you!”

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Qin Xiaoyao and the other generals, focusing particularly on Qin Xiaoyao.

“Marquis Xiaoyao, do you want to watch this traitor Jia Kun stage a rebellion and force the Emperor to abdicate?” he said sternly.

Right now, the only one who could turn the situation around was Marquis Xiaoyao.

It was said that Marquis Xiaoyao had the courage to fight against ten thousand enemies. As long as she took down Jia Kun, there might be a chance for this matter to be turned around.

Immediately, everyone’s gaze shot toward Qin Xiaoyao in unison.

This included the Emperor and Empress Jia who were sitting up on the dais.

In particular, Empress Jia looked at Qin Xiaoyao with an expression full of conflicting emotions.

Now, for the safety of the Emperor, she naturally hoped that Qin Xiaoyao would make a move.

However, she was also worried that her older brother would be captured and the Jia family would have to be sacrificed together with her older brother.

The Jia family was her maiden family after all…

Initially, Qin Xiaoyao was just enjoying the show as a spectator. When she saw everyone looking at her, she stood up helplessly.

“Hahahaha…” At this moment, Jia Kun laughed loudly.

“Marquis Xiaoyao knows right from wrong and understands my thoughts. Why would she listen to the words of a crafty villain like you?” he said gleefully.

Minister Shen’s expression changed at once.

When they saw that Qin Xiaoyao did not refute Jia Kun’s words, the Emperor and Empress Jia, who initially still held some hope, also revealed a change in their expressions.

Marquis Xiaoyao had also been roped in by Jia Kun?

When did this happen? Jia Kun had actually done so many things behind everyone’s back.

The whole place was in an uproar.

“Ahem, ahem…” Qin Xiaoyao cleared her throat softly.

After glancing at Song Rui, she stood up from behind the desk.

Then, she walked to the center and bowed to the Emperor.

“Regarding Minister Shen’s matter, your humble official requests Your Majesty to immediately investigate and pass judgment. This is to clear the names of those who had been framed by him.”

The Emperor’s face turned pale. At the same time, he looked at Qin Xiaoyao with anger in his eyes.

“You… Marquis Xiaoyao, the Empress and I have treated you well. Even you want to force my hand?” he said angrily.

At this moment, the Emperor was not only angry but also very depressed.

If Marquis Xiaoyao had also been bribed by Jia Kun, who else could save him?

Qin Xiaoyao bowed to the Emperor.

“Your Majesty has misunderstood.

“Your official is not standing on Lord Jia Kun’s side.”

Everyone was shocked when they heard her words.

A threatening look flashed across Jia Kun’s eyes. However, he didn’t look at Qin Xiaoyao, but at Song Rui. There was even a hint of viciousness in his eyes.

The reason he dared to carry out such a big matter today was that Song Rui had supposedly helped him rope in Qin Xiaoyao.

Just last night, the three of them were drinking together at Cloud Scent Court.

It was also at that juncture he found out that the friendship between Marquis Xiaoyao and Song Rui was not that superficial.

In fact, it went beyond friendship. It was actually an illicit relationship of some sort.

At that time, Jia Kun thought that Marquis Xiaoyao had good taste and that Song Rui was more scheming than he thought. He thought that Song Rui would resort to unscrupulous means to achieve his goal.

Now, upon hearing Marquis Xiaoyao’s words, a little uneasiness rose vaguely in his heart.

At present, Marquis Xiaoyao’s expression was not as determined as last night.

What was she trying to do by refusing to admit that she was on his side?

“Marquis Xiaoyao, you are the stabilizing force of the Great Jin State. How can you watch this traitor Jia Kun threaten the Emperor?

“Marquis Xiaoyao, hurry! If you capture Jia Kun, the Emperor will reward you handsomely!” Minister Shen seemed to have grabbed onto a life-saving buoy as he urged Qin Xiaoyao.

Minister Shen believed that he had a good relationship with Qin Xiaoyao during this recent period. He felt that even if Qin Xiaoyao didn’t deal with Jia Kun, she would still speak up for Minister Shen.

However, Qin Xiaoyao simply looked at him icily.

When he felt the pressure from Qin Xiaoyao’s iciness and murderous aura, Minister Shen subconsciously looked away.

A trace of a scornful smile crept across Qin Xiaoyao’s face.

She bowed to the Emperor again.

“Your humble official is only in agreement with Lord Jia’s request asking Your Majesty to interrogate Minister Shen now and seek justice for those who were persecuted by him.

“And also to seek justice and exonerate me and my family members.”

The moment she said that, everyone started discussing animatedly.

What did Marquis Xiaoyao mean by this?

Marquis Xiaoyao’s family was also harmed by Minister Shen? They had never heard of it.

Also, even if Minister Shen held a high position, he wouldn’t have provoked Marquis Xiaoyao, would he?

Who would dare to provoke such a demonic fiend?

Song Rui, who was sitting a little further away, swept his gaze across the crowd.

He finally got up.

Under everyone’s astonished gazes, he walked toward Qin Xiaoyao.

Minister Shen’s eyes were initially very downcast with a look of defeat, but when he saw Song Rui getting up, his eyes lit up with hope once again.

That was right. He had a powerful future son-in-law.

With Song Rui taking action, perhaps he could help Minister Shen persuade Marquis Xiaoyao?

After all, Marquis Xiaoyao treated Song Rui somewhat differently.

When Qin Xiaoyao saw Song Rui coming over, a smile suddenly appeared on her chilly face.

Her smile caused some bewilderment in everyone’s heart. They thus looked at Song Rui with curiosity.

Even the Emperor and Empress Jia exchanged glances and looked at Song Rui.

Empress Jia could not help muttering in her heart.

Previously, she had asked the Crown Prince to get close to Marquis Xiaoyao, but Marquis Xiaoyao had frightened the Crown Prince into running back.

After that, the Crown Prince stated that even if he was no longer the Crown Prince, he was not willing to look for Marquis Xiaoyao.

Empress Jia had no choice but to give up on her earlier idea.

At that point, she really thought that Marquis Xiaoyao was so deeply in love with her husband that she didn’t even want to be the Crown Princess Consort.

Yet now…

Marquis Xiaoyao and Song Rui obviously had an unusual relationship.

Song Rui wasn’t bothered by the gazes of the other people. He also looked at Qin Xiaoyao with a smile in his eyes that was full of deep affection.

Finally, Song Rui arrived beside Qin Xiaoyao.

“Your humble official pays his respects to Your Majesty.” He bowed to the Emperor, but totally ignored Empress Jia.

The situation had changed so quickly that almost no one noticed this.

The Emperor looked at Song Rui with a hint of bafflement in his eyes.

He didn’t understand why Song Rui stepped forward.

“Your Majesty, please allow me to explain,” Song Rui quickly spoke again.

Then, he turned to look at Qin Xiaoyao, his eyes filled with tenderness.

He then said to the Emperor, “I am Marquis Xiaoyao’s family member.”

Everyone was shocked when Song Rui uttered these words.

Even Jia Kun got a shock.

Weren’t these two just lovers? When did they become a family?

When she saw that everyone was looking at Song Rui, Qin Xiaoyao stepped forward and cupped her hands at the Emperor.

“Your Majesty.

“Lord Song is indeed my family member. He is the husband 1 have been looking for, Song Que.”

Next to the Emperor, Empress Jia’s eyes widened abruptly.

Song Rui, Song Que? What was going on?

The Emperor frowned.

“You said that he is your husband. Why didn’t you discover that earlier?” he asked..
