My host is very irritable

Chapter 154: The Princess's Family is Destroyed 5

"Tell me, who is that person?"

"Princess, can I exchange the antidote for my prince?" He Zinian said as she took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve.

"Your Highness, please look at me, your old minister." The Duke of Zhenguo looked at He Zinian with disdain.

He Zi Nian hurriedly shook her head and said, "It's not the antidote for these ministers, it's for the concubines and princesses in the harem."

"You are so cruel!" He Yue kicked her and looked behind her: "Bing Yi."

"I understand, senior sister." Zi Qi took Bing Yi and went to the harem.

"I don't need these. There is no poison in this world that my junior sister can't cure. You should tell me what I want to hear, otherwise your son's life will be in jeopardy."

"Hit him." He Yue ordered impatiently.

"Pa pa pa——!" Zishan hit the Ninth Prince's delicate face.

He Zi Nian looked at the bright red blood flowing from the corner of her son's mouth. She crawled to He Yue's feet and begged:

"Your Highness, please! Please, let him go, let him go. I said... I said..."

"Go ahead!" He Yue waved her hand and Zishan stopped immediately.

Through He Zinian's narration, everyone in the hall also understood the cause and effect of the matter.

That person was from Sangnan, named Jiang Shaoheng. He Zinian and the others met on a lake outside the city, and they fell in love with each other.

Later, Jiang Shaoheng and He Gengxue hit it off right away. After discussing in the study for a day and a night, they decided to send He Zinian to the palace.

He Zinian was also attracted by the promises they made and her own ambitions, so she happily participated in the talent show.

After He Zinian entered the palace, Jiang Shaoheng also sneaked into the palace. He poisoned Emperor Zhaode, the Empress and the Crown Prince with poisonous insects.

He Zinian told everything she knew.

"Any more?"

"Princess, I have told you everything I know. I don't know the rest..." He Zinian replied hurriedly.

"Su Mubai, take your men and arrest all those people she mentioned in the palace."

"As you command." Su Mubai took the order and acted quickly.

"What book, you tell me."

He Zhishu bowed respectfully to He Yue, and then told her everything he knew.

"Duke Zhenguo, you take the military token and go outside the city to gather the troops. If there are any resisters, kill them without mercy." After hearing this, He Yue took out the military token and handed it to the Duke Zhenguo.

The Duke of Zhenguo took the military order with both hands and said respectfully, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best."

"General Shen, take your men and arrest all those people that He Zhishu mentioned."

"I obey your orders."

He Yue then pointed at the Ninth Prince and asked He Zi Nian: "Whose evildoer is this?"

"Yes... yes..." He Zinian stuttered, not knowing what to say.

"Zishan." Zishan pulled the Ninth Prince's arm hard, and the delicate arm drooped down.

"Waaaaa..." The ninth prince immediately burst into tears.

"Son, my son..." He Zinian used her hands and feet to crawl towards her son.

She held her crying son in her arms and kowtowed to He Yue: "Princess, Princess, I said...I said, he is Jiang Shaoheng's son."

"Hiss..." The other people in the hall couldn't help but gasp when they heard this.

"General Su, take your men to arrest those ministers who have colluded with the He family and all their family members, and lock them up in the Ministry of Justice's prison." He Yue gave the order.

"I obey your command." He bowed and left quickly.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, we have all been bewitched by the He family, please let us go..."

He Yue glanced at them coldly, looked at everyone in the hall, and issued an order: "The officials who caused chaos in the court with the He family this time will be executed along with their three clans, and the rest of their family will be exiled 2,000 miles away, and all the descendants of the family will not be allowed to take the imperial examinations for three generations."

"Your Highness, please spare us. We know we were wrong..." The ministers knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

"Drag them away." He Yue waved her hand, and the Royal Guards came forward and dragged them out.

"He Gengxue, He Zhishu, He Zhiqi and other members of the He family's direct lineage shall all be executed by being cut into pieces."

“Your Highness, please spare my life, Your Highness, please spare my life…” He Zhiqi knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

He Gengxue and He Zhishu both looked ashen upon hearing this and collapsed to the ground without saying a word.

He Yue was very satisfied with their desperate expressions, and continued, "Minister of the Ministry of Justice, you take people to thoroughly investigate all the relatives and friends of the He family. Anyone who is related to this incident, no matter what position they hold, will be put in jail for me."

"I obey your order." The Minister of Justice took the order respectfully and then stepped back to carry it out.

"The He family cannot be buried after death." He Yue took a sip of tea and continued, "Destroy all traces of the He family in Fengqian Country, collect all the evidence of their crimes, and report them to the world."

"Then print their deeds into a book and spread it around the world."

After He Yue finished speaking, he swept his cold eyes over the other people in the hall, frightening the ministers so much that they couldn't help but shiver.

At this time, other ministers in the palace also realized the eldest princess's intention. She wanted to use the He family as a warning to deter other lawbreakers.

"It's cruel, too cruel. Your Highness wants the He family to die and not let them rest in peace. Let them be cursed by the world for generations..."

After figuring it out, they quickly suppressed their little thoughts and became more respectful to He Yue.

After hearing what He Yue said, He Gengxue became so emotional that he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"He, he is the sinner of the He family! Their He family will be cursed for all eternity..." He Gengxue covered his chest and muttered to himself.

He Zi Nian listened to He Yue's words, feeling hopeless. She hugged her son and begged, "Your Highness, I plead guilty. He is still young, please let him go!"

"His father brought disaster to our Feng Qian, and he will be the beneficiary in the future. He is also your son, and you still want me to let him go? Are you dreaming?" He Yue said sarcastically.

He Zinian felt desperate. She was wrong. She was very wrong. She shouldn't have believed Jiang Shaoheng's lies...

……

"As for those soldiers..." He Yue was interrupted before she could finish her words.

"Your Highness, urgent message of eight hundred miles." A dusty messenger suddenly rushed in, crawled on the ground, holding the letter in his hand and reported quickly.

He Yue took the secret letter and unfolded it quickly. Then he said to the ministers, "He Gengxue's grandson Zhang Zhicheng opened the city gate to let the army of Sangnan Kingdom come to the capital."

Upon hearing this, all the ministers began to talk about it.

"Your Highness, the court is unstable right now. Let's move!" A minister stepped forward and suggested.

"Yes, Your Highness, let's protect His Majesty and leave here..." someone else came forward and suggested.

"Get out of the way, you coward. You're thinking of running away before the battle even starts..." A prince stepped forward, pushed the ministers away, and cursed.

"Zhao Yi?"

"I'm here." The commander of the Imperial Guards, Zhao Yi, stepped forward and bowed.
