If these ministers forced her to make a fool of herself, she, Shui Qingyan, would definitely take revenge on them.

"I plead for the emperor to seek justice for my daughter, and for the second minister to be a servant of the humerus. My daughter cannot be compared, but they forced her to undress in front of the throne room." Each of Shui Qingyan's words, each and every sentence that she spoke was filled with kindness, as he included all of her grievances within a few sentences.

Yun Lancang looked at Shui Qingyan's expression, then looked at the kneeling officials on the floor, and said in a deep voice: "All subjects are my subjects of the humerus, but they are far from being as respectful as a woman."

When Yun Lancang said this, National Duke Ying was the first to kneel down, "This humble subject is willing to give his sincerity!"

Following National Duke Ying's agreement, all the people who were supporting Shui Qingyan taking off their clothes in front of the palace said in unison: "This humble subject is willing to give her sincerity."

"Thank you, your majesty the Emperor." Shui Qingyan bowed in thanks as the corners of her mouth slowly raised into a faint smile.

"Ai!" Liu Changqing's face was filled with grief. He raised his head, wanting to say something, but his body suddenly tilted to the side.

"Minister Liu!" Doctor Senior Zhao knelt behind Liu Changqing and supported him in a hurry.

Eunuch Shou immediately went down to help Liu Changqing rest in the side hall.

"Since that's the case, then Assistant Minister Ma, we must do as we wish." Shui Qingyan smiled as she looked at Assistant Minister Ma.

"Hmph." Assistant Minister Ma looked at Shui Qingyan with haze in his eyes, "Fourth Miss, even if today is the tenth chapter of the contract, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Alright." Shui Qingyan smiled and nodded.

"If I am innocent, Assistant Minister Ma, please use your eyes and pay the price for slandering me!" Shui Qingyan laughed and said.

With this said, everyone sucked in a deep breath.

Shui Qingyan was really ruthless!

"Alright!" The Assistant Minister Ma was unambiguous, "Hahaha, the Fourth Young Miss was worried about my eyes that night. Today, I will use them to see how the Fourth Young Miss goes about it!"

Shui Qingyan straightened her sleeves and laughed: "Since that's the case, Assistant Minister Ma knows that if I'm innocent, not only will you lose both your eyes, you might also lose your entire family, causing chaos for the dynasty, bewitching the masses, disrespecting the monarch, every crime, causing you to die without a burial ground."

Assistant Minister Ma tensed up. Looking at Shui Qingyan's situation, he was sure that Shui Qingyan was threatening him, and wanted him to retreat herself. He then smiled sinisterly: "To be able to get a Arcanist, you will die with no regrets!"

With that said, Shui Qingyan laughed and raised her hand to pull her belt. Assistant Minister Ma, there's a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it.

All the ministers raised their heads and widened their eyes. Assistant Minister Ma was willing to take their family's proof, they wanted to see how the Fourth Miss would explain it.

Yun Lancang frowned deeply as waves were brewing in the depths of his eyes.

Shui Qingyan's beautiful outer clothes fell down.

Just as Shui Qingyan was about to take off her clothes, an imposing voice came from outside, "Fourth Miss, please wait."

All the officials hurriedly turned to pay their respects. "Blessed are the empress!"

Shui Qingyan was slightly surprised. She seemed to not be familiar with the empress. Even though she did not know why the empress had come at this time, Shui Qingyan still bowed to her in accordance with the rules.

He saw a woman wearing the crown of the Nine Phoenix Dynasty. She wore a long, golden phoenix robe and was in her thirties. There was not a single trace of time on her face. She was currently walking step by step towards the palace hall. This person was the current Queen, Xie Feiyu.

The empress glanced at Shui Qingyan, a trace of displeasure flashed past her eyes. Then, she walked to the front of the hall and bowed towards Yun Lancang, "Your concubine greets Your Majesty.

"What does the empress want?" Yun Lancang looked at the Empress Xie Feiyu.

"Your majesty, Miss Shui Si cannot take off her clothes." The empress said this as she knelt down, "Ignoring the fact that Fourth Young Miss has the Jade Snow Duck Pendant of the Imperial Consort's younger sister in her hands, now that Fourth Young Miss is so old, the time for her to grow old has come for her to take off her clothes on the throne room. This is disrespectful to the Emperor, and it is also an insult to all of the ministers present."

"I'm afraid the empress doesn't know." National Duke Ying was the first to speak.

"Please shut up National Duke Ying, if you take off your clothes at Shui Qingyan Palace, when Second Prince returns, he might give National Duke Ying a hard time." Empress Xie Feiyu cast a sidelong glance at National Duke Ying.

National Duke Ying immediately shut his mouth, but his face was red from holding in his breath.

"If Your Majesty wishes to examine the injuries left behind Fourth Young Miss, chenqie has a suggestion." As the Queen spoke, her eyes kept on looking at Yun Lancang's expression.

"Speak." Yun Lancang nodded.

"As a female, Fourth Miss should be the one to testify. Chenqie is willing to be her sponsor and will be willing to bear witness for Fourth Miss. If the rest of the officials do not believe, you can bring in a wife and concubines to testify for Fourth Miss. " After the empress finished speaking, all the officials present in the throne room immediately nodded in agreement.

"That's a good idea."

"The empress is right."

"Indeed, you are neither disrespectful nor disrespectful."

Hearing the discussions of the subjects, Shui Qingyan's smile did not waver. She wasn't going to let go of the three whips just because the empress changed her methods.

"The empress is worthy of being known as the mother of the world." A light smile leaked out of the corner of Yun Lancang's mouth, as if he was mocking himself for not having expected this.

"Your Majesty is too kind." The empress had a smile on her face, the handkerchief under her sleeve tightly clenched. Could it be that the emperor was right and wrong when he said that the emperor's Imperial Study was hiding a portrait of Liu Ninghua? Could it be that the emperor didn't want Shui Qingyan to marry his own son, but wanted to bring Shui Qingyan back to the palace?!

Yun Lancang opened his mouth and said slowly: "Xuan, Princess Anyang Taichang, Madame Prime Minister, and Madam Ma have entered the palace."

"Here." Eunuch Shou left the palace to pick him up.

Madam Prime Minister has always been a first-rate wife who has merged the virtues of the imperial court. Madam Ma is the wife of the Assistant Minister Ma, and she will not side with anyone. Yun Lancang's expression became much calmer, and he glanced at Shui Qingyan as he spoke.

Shui Qingyan's expression was calm.

The Queen looked at Yun Lancang's expression and grasped the handkerchief tightly under his sleeves. Liu Ninghua! Liu Ninghua's daughter!

The Princess Anyang Taichang, the Prime Minister, Madam Ma and the others were brought into the palace.

"Princess Anyang Taichang has arrived!" Outside the throne room, the eunuch shouted in a shrill voice.

Princess Anyang Taichang was the first to enter the throne room.

"Princess Taichang is fine." The officials bowed.

He saw a woman dressed in a deep purple robe, with an emerald jade hairpin on her head. With the support of a servant girl, she walked towards the front of the hall with the aid of a rosewood phoenix tail.

On the way, Princess Anyang Taichang already knew what was going on, and after entering the door, he looked at Shui Qingyan. Seeing Shui Qingyan standing there dressed in white, his eyes flashed with a trace of displeasure.

He walked to the front and was about to kneel down and bow. "Long live the Emperor …"

"Princess Taichang, no need for formalities." Yun Lancang immediately waved his hand, "Sit."

"Thank you, your majesty." Princess Anyang Taichang stood up.

"Bi'er greets the Emperor and the Empress." The servant girl beside Princess Anyang Taichang kneeled down and bowed deeply.

"Quick, help Princess Taichang sit down." Yun Lancang said.

"Yes." Bi'er stood up and helped Princess Anyang Taichang to sit down.

At this time, an eunuch had already placed a stool at an appropriate place. Princess Taichang glanced at the empress.

The empress immediately went forward to support Princess Taichang's body that was about to kneel down, "Princess Taichang, quickly sit down. The emperor has always been filial.

Princess Anyang Taichang glanced at the Queen indifferently, then held onto the servant's hand and went to his seat.

Seeing that the other two had not arrived yet, Yun Lancang looked at Princess Anyang Taichang and said: "Princess Taichang, how are you these past few days?"

"I'm fine. I was coughing a few days ago, but it was just a minor ailment. I feel much better in the past few days." The Princess Anyang Taichang replied to Yun Lancang with a smile.

"Did the imperial physician see it?" Yun Lancang frowned.

"Reporting to the Emperor, this humble subject will go to the Princess Taichang Palace every three days to seek your help." Jiang Guosheng took a step forward, bowed, and said, "Princess Taichang's old cough, has improved since spring. It's not too much of a problem."

"Yes." Yun Lancang nodded his head, "I heard that Hot Pear is very useful for old cough. In three months, it should be the time for Southern Frontier to enter the Spring Pear Festival.

"Here." The substitute eunuch at the side of the emperor, Eunuch Shou's disciple, the Eunuch Xiao Shou immediately nodded his head.

"Your majesty." Princess Taichang opened her mouth, "This old cough is nothing serious, but Fourth Young Miss, when you were young you heard that your body was not good, now that you have taken off your outer robes and stood there, you should not be afraid that she will suffer from the cold." As she said that, Princess Taichang used her eyes to look over Shui Qingyan from top to bottom.

"This subject is terrified." Shui Qingyan immediately bowed far away, "Thank you for your concern, Princess Taichang." With that, Shui Qingyan picked up the clothes on the ground.

"After all, I have the Jadeite Duck Piece in my hand. I should pay attention to my image when I do things." Princess Anyang Taichang's tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

"Yes." Seeing that Yun Lancang was courteous to this Princess Taichang, at this time, she still could not figure out what Yun Lancang meant, so she did not dare to be too rude in front of him.

Seeing Shui Qingyan's submissive answer, the princess of Anyang Station thought Shui Qingyan was scared silly in the throne room. He couldn't help but lower his head even more. Right now, to her, no matter how Shui Qingyan viewed things, he couldn't compare to his own granddaughter, Emerald.

"The Prime Minister's wife is here!" Madam Ma has arrived! " Eunuch Shou's voice sounded at the door once again.
