Feng Jin reminded, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid the Consort Hui will be difficult to deal with on this trip."

"I know."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, "But if I don't see her today, do you think she will let it go?"

Feng Jin thought about it, and that was true.

But he was curious in his heart, could it be that His Majesty had already found a way to deal with Consort Hui?

Consort Hui quickly rushed in. As soon as she entered the Hall of Diligent Administration, she began to cry.

At this time, Jiang Chen's attitude was completely different from just now. With a distressed expression, he stepped forward and hugged Consort Hui.

"What's wrong, my beloved consort? Who bullied you?" Jiang Chen asked with concern.

"Your Majesty, it's come to this, are you still going to pretend to be confused?" Consort Hui said with some resentment.

"No matter how wrong Hong Yang is, he is still this concubine's younger brother. How could Your Majesty directly order his execution?"

Consort Hui shed tears, "Your Majesty, is your concern for this concubine all fake?"

"How is that possible!"

Jiang Chen flatly denied, "You are thinking too much, my beloved consort."

"Then why did Your Majesty deal with Hong Yang's matter like that?" Consort Hui questioned.

"Sigh!"

Jiang Chen suddenly sighed at this moment, which made Consort Hui a little curious.

"Why is Your Majesty sighing?"

Jiang Chen sighed again and said, "My beloved consort, you don't understand my situation!"

"What's wrong, Your Majesty?" Consort Hui asked curiously.

Jiang Chen knew that Consort Hui had taken the bait, and said, "My beloved consort, you must know that this matter has already attracted attention throughout the entire Great Wei. If I bend the law for personal gain, to put it lightly, I will lose the trust of the people; to put it seriously, it may put Great Wei in a situation of eternal doom!"

Consort Hui was taken aback, "Is it that serious?"

"Of course!" Jiang Chen nodded.

Consort Hui's eyes immediately wandered.

If it was just to save Qiao Hongyang and affect Jiang Chen's throne, then she would definitely not want to.

After all, her position as Empress still depended on Jiang Chen.

But when she thought that her second brother, who had taken care of her since she was a child, was going to be beheaded, she still couldn't accept it.

"Your Majesty, is there no other way but to sacrifice my second brother?"

Jiang Chen sighed again at this time, "My beloved consort, you still don't understand what I mean!"

After saying that, Jiang Chen waved his hand, signaling everyone except Feng Jin to leave.

Consort Hui was frightened by Jiang Chen's solemn attitude, and asked in a low voice, "What does Your Majesty mean..."

Jiang Chen said with a solemn expression, "I have to give an explanation to the people of the world, right?"

"Now that the explanation is over, then is that okay?"

Consort Hui understood a little, and said, "Your Majesty means that my second brother doesn't have to die?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "My beloved consort, it's only May now, and there are still several months before autumn."

"By that time, the people will have almost forgotten about it."

"As long as a little trick is used, Qiao Hongyang doesn't have to be beheaded at all."

Consort Hui suddenly understood, and smiled through her tears, "So that's what Your Majesty meant! This concubine misunderstood Your Majesty!"

Feng Jin, who was on the side, was very surprised when he heard this.

How could His Majesty be like this?

This is not right!

Jiang Chen said with a smile at this time, "But my beloved consort, after Qiao Hongyang sneaks out, you must restrain him well. If someone finds out that he is still alive, then it will be difficult for me to explain."

"This concubine understands!"

Consort Hui nodded repeatedly, "After my second brother goes back, this concubine will definitely let my father teach him a good lesson!"

After saying that, Consort Hui couldn't wait to leave, she wanted to tell this good news to her father and elder brother who were extremely anxious at home!

Looking at Consort Hui leaving happily, Jiang Chen showed a smile on his face.

Although Consort Hui was smart, she was still too simple after all.

If you want to kill someone, you don't necessarily have to behead them.

"Feng Jin, go tell Wu Zuo, be sure not to let me bear the crime of killing Consort Hui's brother." Jiang Chen said to Feng Jin, who was still pondering on the side.

Feng Jin was even more puzzled.

Could it be that His Majesty really wants to let Qiao Hongyang go?

After telling Wu Zuo these words of Jiang Chen, Feng Jin couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Lord Wu, I don't understand a little. Does Your Majesty really want to spare Qiao Hongyang?"

After pondering for a while, Wu Zuo smiled slightly, "Eunuch Feng, if Qiao Hongyang dies in prison due to an accident, it will have nothing to do with His Majesty."

Feng Jin's whole body trembled suddenly after hearing this.

He finally knew what Jiang Chen really meant.

Too roundabout!

The Qiao family, the Qiao family head and the Qiao family's heir, were all relieved after receiving Consort Hui's message, and then took good wine and food to see Qiao Hongyang.

Qiao Hongyang was full of despair at this time. When he saw his father and elder brother coming, he immediately cried again.

"Father, elder brother, you must save me, I don't want to die!"

Because he had been slapped in the mouth, Qiao Hongyang spoke unclearly.

The head of the Qiao family felt very distressed when he saw Qiao Hongyang's miserable state, but he still put on a stern face and shouted, "Who told you to be so arrogant in the main hall?"

Qiao Hongyang looked at his father in disbelief. He was about to die, and his father was still scolding him?

He looked at the heir of the Qiao family again, "Elder brother, you have to save me!"

The heir of the Qiao family comforted him, "Don't worry, don't worry."

After saying that, the heir of the Qiao family got up and gave the jailers some silver, saying, "We have a few words to say to my younger brother. This little money is for the jailers to have some wine."

The jailers received the money and left happily.

The head of the Qiao family then said in a low voice, "Yang'er, don't worry, you can come out after autumn."

Qiao Hongyang couldn't believe it when he heard this, "Wasn't I sentenced to be beheaded?"

"You have to thank your little sister!" The heir of the Qiao family taught him, "If it wasn't for your sister speaking for you in front of His Majesty, how could you have a chance to survive?"

After saying that, the heir of the Qiao family relayed Consort Hui's words.

After hearing this, Qiao Hongyang was overjoyed.

He thought he was dead, but he didn't expect to have a chance to live again.

The head of the Qiao family finally instructed, "Stay here honestly during this time, and don't cause any more trouble. I will arrange for someone to send food every day. When the time is right, we will pick you up!"

Qiao Hongyang promised repeatedly, and then reluctantly watched his father and elder brother leave.

After the two left, Qiao Hongyang's face was full of resentment, and he recalled the four commoners who testified.

"After I get out, I'll kill you!"

While scolding, Qiao Hongyang ate the wine and dishes brought by the head of the Qiao family.

When the head of the Qiao family and the heir of the Qiao family left the prison, Wu Zuo came out from the shadows.

He slowly walked to Qiao Hongyang, who was eating happily.

Qiao Hongyang felt a shadow in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw Wu Zuo, and immediately scolded, "Wu Zuo, you are really a dog who bites people!"

Wu Zuo's eyes turned cold, but he didn't speak.

Qiao Hongyang said triumphantly, "It won't be long before this young master will regain his freedom, what can you do to me?"

Wu Zuo's eyes turned even colder, and he said, "Is that so? How are you going to get out?"
