Chapter 93 Gender of Sin 93
General Qi was once again summoned by the Emperor to the palace to foster goodwill, after which he specifically told Qin Shuangshuang to be cautious, advising her not to go out in the coming days and to stay quietly in her room.
Qin Shuangshuang naturally agreed. In the days that followed, not only did Qin Shuangshuang stay indoors, but to be safe, Qin Miao and Fang Yao also refrained from going out shopping. They stayed in the room with Qin Shuangshuang, staring at each other in boredom. Having been accustomed to being busy from morning till night for so many years, suddenly having nothing to do felt rather uncomfortable, as if being in prison, making them uneasy all over.
Such days lasted only three days, and then a major event occurred at court! The Imperial Censor drafted over three hundred charges and impeached the current Prime Minister. The Emperor acted swiftly and decisively, not allowing the Prime Minister to defend himself, displaying his power in court and directly sending the Prime Minister to the Heavenly Prison, ordering the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice to jointly try the case!
Before the trial by the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice, the Prime Minister’s residence was searched, revealing mountains of gold, silver, and jewels, with many tributes from smaller nations! Richer than the National Treasury, the whole court was astounded!
Within a day after the search, the Prime Minister’s crimes were confirmed, including colluding with enemies, committing treason, embezzlement, disrupting the court, disregarding the Emperor... A litany of charges was made, ultimately resulting in the extermination of his family and the confiscation of his properties!
In just over ten days, the faction of the once-powerful Prime Minister was completely vanquished and vanished. Everyone was as silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to utter a word.
Qin Shuangshuang thought it must have been the Emperor who took action, as the speed at which the Prime Minister was impeached, convicted, and eradicated was unusually swift and suspicious, clearly abnormal. However, Qin Shuangshuang had no intention of delving into the truth, as the depths of the Capital City’s waters were too dangerous for her to risk getting involved.
In the end, Qin Shuangshuang learned about it from General Qi, who, being in the Emperor’s inner circle, was naturally privy to such matters.
