A letter from the young minister of Dali Temple was sent to the emperor in a memorial. The emperor felt strange at first, but when he read the thick stack of papers, he was so angry that he threw down everything on the table.
The Queen Mother, who rarely came to the imperial study, was frightened.
"What's going on?" The Queen Mother walked into the royal study, looked at the palace servants kneeling on the floor, and couldn't help but ask.
When the emperor saw the Queen Mother, he was a little surprised and quickly stood up: "Why is the Queen Mother here?"
"The osmanthus flowers in the imperial garden are in bloom, so the Ai family made some fermented osmanthus dumplings. Thinking that the emperor would like to eat them, they sent them over. As soon as I walked outside, I heard you getting angry!" The queen mother walked up to the emperor and said, "Emperor.
What's going on here?"
The emperor sighed deeply, and then handed the paper in his hand to the Queen Mother: "I originally thought that the things Hao Zhengwei did were excessive, but I didn't expect that he had done so many evil things in private.
!”
"Buying and selling officials, selling women, opening casinos and brothels, burying common people alive..." The Queen Mother looked at the paper in her hand, her brows furrowed more and more tightly, and her anger was rising bit by bit.
"Bold, really bold!" The Queen Mother slammed the table, "He, he, how dare he be so disrespectful, how dare he! Such a person, when he is a minister of the imperial court, how much will the people below have to eat?
Suffering, he, he..."
"Queen Mother, Queen Mother!" The emperor quickly supported the Queen Mother, "I can't be angry, I can't be angry. The Queen Mother must hold on tight to herself!"
The Queen Mother was helped to the side and sat down: "Deal with him, deal with him, whether the people below have settled down or not, behead him for the Ai family!"
"Son understands, mother, please calm down!"
The evidence of Su Xubai's petition is conclusive. There are witnesses and physical evidence in Dali Temple. The Hao family fell apart overnight. Hao Zhengwei didn't even know what happened. The minister of Dali Temple personally led the people and sealed the entire house.
Hao family.
During the detention and trial, the evidence for everything was conclusive, and no one in the Hao family was spared. Even the two children Hao Zhengwei raised in the outer room and the two children born in the outer room were imprisoned.
Only Hao Jiaojiao, who was already married, escaped temporarily.
Overnight, her natal family, which she was proud of, fell apart. In a panic, she looked for people who had been attached to the Hao family, but they were turned away one by one.
Desperate, she cried and begged Su Xubai, but he refused to see her from beginning to end. She had no choice but to kneel outside the study room all day and night until Su Xubai went to court the next day.
She just saw him.
"Langjun, Langjun!" Hao Jiaojiao knelt on the ground and moved step by step in front of Su Xubai. She hugged his legs and burst into tears, "I know you hate me, but you and I are husband and wife after all.
, I beg you, save my father, I beg you!"
Su Xubai didn't even want to look at her, but said very coldly: "I didn't send that paper to you, so how could I possibly save your father? What's more, he has done many evil things, and there are both witnesses and material evidence. Now,
Not even the Emperor can save him."
"Lang Jun, I know you hate me. I don't have to be a good wife anymore. Even if you let me be a concubine, you can do it. As long as you save my father, I beg you!" Hao Jiaojiao held on tightly.
Su Xubai's robe was weeping bitterly.
"Hao Jiaojiao, you have always thought highly of yourself from beginning to end. Why do you think that the condition you proposed will have any meaning to me? I do hate you, but you mean nothing to me.
"It's just a chess piece to bring down your father, a chess piece that I don't even bother to lie to you!" Su Xubai looked coldly at Hao Jiaojiao in front of her.
Hao Jiaojiao was stunned. She looked at Su Xubai and was speechless for a long time.
"It's been so long, don't you think it's strange? I've never been a person who cares about fame. Whether I can be an official or not is not important to me. And my father has been on the battlefield for many years, and
Definitely not the kind of person who sacrifices his children in order to consolidate his position!" Su Xubai sighed, looking at Hao Jiaojiao with a somewhat sad look, "The ones who can make me compromise are those who were killed by your father.
People who are so hurt that they can’t live have pleading eyes!”
"Su Xubai!" Hao Jiaojiao looked at the person in front of her with disbelief, "What did I do wrong? Why do you treat me like this? We are obviously childhood sweethearts, and we are a perfect match.
Why are we like this? My father is obviously very good to you, why do you treat him like this?"
"Your father is very good to me?" Su Xubai raised his eyebrows, "Yes, you don't want me to serve as an official in the court, and you force me to marry you in this way. Is this what you see as good?"
Hao Jiaojiao looked at Su Xubai in front of her, feeling very strange. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
"Hao Jiaojiao, I advise you not to worry too much about this matter. You must understand that it is not me who really wants the Hao family to fall! If you are smart enough, you should know that your family's strength has been exhausted. You
You should be thankful to God if you can survive!" After Su Xubai said these words, he turned and left.
When Su Xubai left, Hao Jiaojiao wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Silan: "Stop chasing. Instead of wasting this time, you should think of ways to see your parents one last time. Of course,
Most likely you’ll be with them?”
Hao Jiaojiao shuddered because he could clearly see murderous intent in Isatis blue's eyes.
After Isatis left, Hao Jiaojiao fell to the ground. She didn't understand what she had done wrong, and why even Ismail looked at her with such disgust.
Hao Jiaojiao had been running around the capital for more than half a month, but no one dared to help them. Even many people who had been friends with her family were implicated, including the Queen's family members.
Those who deserve to be demoted should be demoted, and those who deserve to be punished should be punished.
Finally, it was Xu Ziqing's sister. Unfortunately, she had nowhere to turn for help, so she begged Xu Ziqing to arrange a chance for her to visit the prison.
When Hao Jiaojiao carried the food box to the prison, his father was just sitting there. The middle-aged man who used to be so energetic was now worn out and had no life at all, and he just leaned there lazily.
, not even the slightest bit of light can be seen in the eyes.
"Dad!" Hao Jiaojiao stood in front of the cell and shouted softly.
Hao Zhengwei was stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "Jiaojiao!"
That Jiaojiao sound made Hao Jiaojiao shed tears instantly. She looked at her father in front of her and felt that he had gone through many vicissitudes in just a few days, but she couldn't do anything to help her and could only watch.
Look at it like this.
"Jiaojiao, how did you get in? Are you the imperial concubine..."
"The imperial concubine?" Hao Jiaojiao was stunned, then shook her head, "The imperial concubine is already a noble person now. I heard that even the prince below her knees is under house arrest!"
"What!" Hao Zheng grabbed the railing in front of him fiercely, "How is it possible? How is it possible?"
"Dad, what does she have to do with you? The queen's family members have been severely suppressed. The family members of the imperial concubine who are not very close to our family will not care about us!" Hao Jiaojiao's eyes turned red.
Looking at Hao Zhengwei in front of him, "Dad, I can't stay here for too long. Please tell me what I have to do to save you."
"Save?" Hao Zhengwei was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "They had planned this a long time ago. They used your marriage to confuse me and make me feel that the Holy Grace is still there, but in fact, he secretly started investigating me long ago.
, The emperor is the emperor after all, and the calculations are clear, and we people are just chess pieces in their hands. When it is useful, it is just a white jade chess piece in the palm of the hand. When it is not useful, it is just a broken stone. The Hao family is hopeless.
Got it!"
Hao Jiaojiao collapsed on the ground immediately. Although she had known the result for a long time, when these words came out of the mouth of her father, whom she had always admired the most, she felt that the sky was about to collapse: "Dad, then
What should I do? Do you want me to look at you, look at you..."
"Jiaojiao, you have to live, you have to live and avenge us!" Hao Zhengwei grabbed Hao Jiaojiao's collar, "You have to do everything you can to survive!"
