Chapter 137: Does My Woman Need You to Take Charge?

  The night quietly took away those evidences of crime.

  They also took away the corpses of Zhao Taifu and Zhao Yuanzhang, who had long since died.

  The positions of Dr. Daifu and Director Zhao have been removed, and the carpet in that area has also been replaced, as if nothing had ever happened.

  Everyone's undershirts were drenched in cold sweat and stuck to their bodies, making them clearly aware that it was better to offend the king than to offend the regent!!

  "Your Majesty!" Sheng Jinxiu bowed to the emperor and said calmly, "Since Your Majesty believes in the evidence I presented, I would like to ask Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and all of you present here to listen to a few words from me."

  "It doesn't matter what you say, brother and sister!" The emperor said with great magnanimity.

  Good! Good! In this world, there is finally a girl who can make my nineteenth brother's heart move.

  There is a woman who has been tied up, and the 19th brother will definitely stay in Kyoto Imperial City for a long time.

  As the ruler of a country, he has been diligent and hardworking in governance for many years, never daring to slacken. However, due to his gentle nature, state affairs often cannot be communicated effectively, leaving him with a sense of having the will but lacking the power.

  The nineteenth brother killed Zhao Taifu and Zhao Yuanlong, but he was not angry and instead delighted.

  Because these two people have become increasingly out of his control in recent years, forming cliques and acting recklessly, while he is constrained by the empress and the second prince, and worries that it will implicate Shenguang, hesitating again and again, unable to take action...

  The nineteenth brother brought out the evidence and hung a beheading knife over the heads of the hundred officials. The villain, the nineteenth brother did it, he only needs to make a good king...

  But his heart was still uneasy, and the king who had walked out of the bloody storm years ago would often feel timid.

  His nineteenth younger brother could solve those difficult problems that he had racked his brains but couldn't solve...

  Although he was his younger brother, and even more than ten years younger than him!

  Now that the borders are stable, as long as the 19th brother is willing to marry and have children, stay in the imperial city of Kyoto, and help him eliminate various obstacles that threaten the imperial power...

  Thinking of this, the emperor said more passionately to Sheng Jinxiu: "Younger sister, is there anywhere else you have been wronged? Tell me, I will take charge for younger sister!"

  As soon as these words fell, the emperor was given a cold warning by the regent king.

  The warning was extremely clear - Does this king's woman need you to take charge?!

  The emperor cooled down a bit, smiled wryly and didn't say anything else.

  "What I want is nothing but a thorough resolution of the matter between me and Second Prince Yan Ziyuan!"

  Sheng Jinxiu didn't notice the subtle movements between the Emperor and Yan Beichen, her gaze fell on the Empress, Yan Ziyuan and Sheng Dieyi, a cold smile in her heart, she opened her mouth calmly...

  "In the past, I was not yet of an age to be considered for marriage, when the Second Prince brought exquisite pastries made by the imperial kitchen to the Yong'an Marquis's residence, praising me as beautiful and elegant, kind and clever, saying that he fell in love with me at first sight, and vowed that this life and this world, he would not marry anyone but me, Sheng Jinxiu!"

  "...At that time, I was just an innocent girl in the boudoir, facing the sweet words of the Second Prince's temptation, and it was inevitable to have a few good feelings for him. Later, he deceived me, used me, and calculated..."

  "Wait until the second prince takes the wealth of my Sheng family to repair roads, dig canals, give relief to poor scholars and refugees... wait until he uses these things to gain a reputation for benevolence after which he gradually distanced himself from me..."

  At this point, Sheng Jinxiu's face showed a hint of pain, and after stabilizing her emotions, she continued: "…it's my fault for being young and not seeing through people's hearts, which is why I suffered such disasters for so many years……I admit it!"

  "The second prince Mingming had long been secretly colluding with Sheng Dieyi, Chen Cang and others, and had already formed a plot, but still dared to slander me and my parents and brothers in front of everyone, relying on his identity as the son of heaven!"

  "In the past, I was just a humble merchant's daughter, looked down upon by everyone in the imperial city of Kyoto. I could retreat and yield, but now, as the Crown Princess Regent, even if I don't care about my own dignity, I absolutely cannot lose face for my husband!"

  "So..."
