[2] THE LITTLE DARLING WIFE WHO IS A DIVINE DOCTOR SAVED THE ENTIRE FAMILY

Ch 535 - 536

C535: Please accept the worship of Nan Yu

Everyone close to Fengxi Palace knew the location and entrance of the secret chamber, and Emperor Shunwu only needed to ask to find out.

As expected, after Fengxi Palace's consort told him this, Emperor Shunwu directly ordered that she be sent to the imperial prison.

He then looked towards the palace maids of Fengxi Palace, who were already scared out of their wits.

Although he did not know the location of the secret chamber, he still remembered which of these palace dogs had ever summoned him to the palace.

At this juncture, those people could no longer care about anything else.

When the consort was being taken away, several of them had already knelt down.

Some were even afraid that if they spoke too slowly, the opportunity to redeem themselves would be taken by others, so they hurriedly revealed the location of the secret chamber and how to enter it.

Without Emperor Shunwu having to order it, as soon as Nan Yu learned of the secret chamber's location, he immediately summoned a few men to rush there.

When the deceased empress dowager's body was brought out, it had already decayed beyond recognition, an unbearable sight.

Emperor Shunwu burst into tears, ordering that the funeral arrangements for the empress dowager be made properly.

Everyone present was shaken upon seeing the dowager's tragic state.

Especially the ministers of the consort's faction, each of them was extremely guilt-ridden.

They dared not even imagine what punishments awaited them, and some had even entertained thoughts of fleeing.

How could Nan Yu possibly give them a chance to escape?

In front of Emperor Shunwu, he calmly commanded that the officials of the consort's faction be arrested.

He understood the principle of not punishing the many, but so many officials had more or less committed acts of rebellion by following the consort's faction. However, immediately punishing them all would amount to a major reshuffle of the court.

A major reshuffle was possible, but only if there were suitable replacements ready to take over their positions.

Emperor Shunwu had always been indifferent towards court affairs, so how could he have cultivated so many capable people to take over important roles?

Therefore, although these officials had erred, they could not be immediately purged for the time being. Nan Yu needed time to train new personnel to take over.

Emperor Shunwu was relieved to see Nan Yu handle these matters with ease.

If only this child had acknowledged his ancestry sooner, perhaps the present situation could have been avoided.

To these ministers, Nan Yu was not an unfamiliar figure.

Many knew that he was an aide to Prince Nan Qi.

What puzzled them was why Prince Nan Qi had been inexplicably thrown into prison, while his aide could act with such ease before the Emperor.

Emperor Shunwu did not care what these ministers thought. After being controlled by the consort for so long, the realm that his ancestors had founded was nearly lost under his rule, which enraged him greatly.

After going through so much, he was utterly exhausted and simply handed all remaining matters to Nan Yu to handle.

Nan Yu obtained this authority in front of all the ministers, so even if anyone doubted him, they dared not say anything.
