Chapter 61: Chapter 61 I Don’t Want Such Good Fortune 19

Noble Consort Tian was arrested, only then did Emperor Shengping enter Qifeng Palace.

After entering, when Emperor Shengping saw Noble Consort Tian bound tightly, her body covered with various talismans, he almost threw up.

Her appearance truly left much to be desired.

She was stout and tough-looking, with particularly poor skin, making her seem very old.

Additionally, her round face, paired with squinted eyes, a bulbous nose, and sausage-like lips, was uncommonly ugly.

Emperor Shengping had never seen someone so ugly, seeing Noble Consort Tian in this state of dignity was truly nauseating.

He had a stool brought over and sat down, turning his face away to find a more pleasing little palace maid to cleanse his eyes.

Emperor Shengping did not wish to look at Noble Consort Tian; this truly agitated her.

She sobbed forward, "Your Majesty, my lord, they want to harm your concubine, you must stand up for your concubine."

Emperor Shengping, frightened, stood up and retreated, "Quickly take her away, keep her farther from Us."

Emperor Shengping didn’t look at Noble Consort Tian but turned his gaze elsewhere: "Ms. Tian, you used witchcraft in the palace to bewitch the heart of the monarch, and over these twenty-plus years, who knows how many atrocious sins you’ve committed, do you admit your guilt?"

Noble Consort Tian was stunned.

Then she suddenly realized her system was gone, and without the system, perhaps Emperor Shengping’s affection for her had also faded.

Thinking about this, Noble Consort Tian was genuinely scared.

Thinking about the deeds she had committed over the years, Noble Consort Tian knew she would not meet a good end.

Frightened, she quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, show mercy, all your concubine did was because she loved Your Majesty too much, only wishing for a loving and unquestioning relationship with Your Majesty."

If it had been a delicate beauty saying these words, Emperor Shengping might have been appeased.

But with Noble Consort Tian’s looks, Emperor Shengping really couldn’t stand it.

Listening to Noble Consort Tian speak these words in a deliberately soft and tender voice, he was truly nauseated and vomited.

Emperor Shengping vomited while thinking about how all these years he had been sleeping with such a disgusting woman, and then he vomited fiercely again.

"Take her away, take her away."

Emperor Shengping waved his hand, "Immediately take her out and execute her, save Us the disgust."

"Your Majesty."

Noble Consort Tian screamed miserably, then was quickly gagged and taken away.

With her gone, Emperor Shengping felt a bit better.

He eagerly wanted to see Empress Chu’s stunning beauty, to make his eyes feel less uncomfortable.

Emperor Shengping ordered someone to seal off the Qifeng Palace where Noble Consort Tian had resided, and then hurried alone to Changle Palace.

There, all members of the Tian family were detained in prison, and searches were underway for those who had been overly friendly with the Tian family.

Meanwhile, Qian Du was dismissed from his official post because he married a woman from the Tian family.

To speak of it, Qian Du was decent in his exams, but his actual ability to govern was quite lacking.

While he served in the Ministry of Revenue, he often made mistakes, and in addition to his poor character, not only did his superiors dislike him, but even his colleagues harbored resentment towards him.

Only because he was a son-in-law of the Tian family had no one dared to touch him.

But now things were different.

With Noble Consort Tian executed and the Tian family locked away, Qian Du also fell into misfortune.

His superior dismissed him citing his poor work performance, telling him to go home and fend for himself.

Upon hearing that he was dismissed, Qian Du was truly dumbfounded.

Afterwards, he went to see his superior, only to be scolded fiercely and ordered to leave the Ministry of Revenue immediately.

Qian Du still wanted to reason, but his superior was already impatient and had someone throw him out immediately.

With no other choice, Qian Du packed up his belongings and left.

By coincidence, he happened to bump into some colleagues.

Among them was a colleague somewhat aloof, who was the least willing to ingratiate others and looked down the most on those who relied on nepotism.

In the past, when Qian Du was in his glorious days, he had argued with this Mr. Yu due to differing ideals and even mocked Mr. Yu.

Today, he just so happened to run into Mr. Yu.

Naturally, Mr. Yu was ready for revenge and to settle scores.

He saw Mr. Yu take a few steps to block Qian Du’s path: "Isn’t this Mr. Qian? Why do you look so downcast?"

Qian Du glanced at Mr. Yu, feeling uneasy inside and silently cursed Mr. Yu for being a despicable villain.

"What’s the matter, I heard Mr. Qian messed up the accounts again, were you scolded?"

Mr. Yu, with a smile on his face, said, "I told you, if you don’t have the skills, don’t come to the Ministry of Revenue. It’s better to go to the Ministry of Rites, no need to be so busy, and no need to be scolded all the time, right?"

Qian Du still kept his head down and did not speak.

Mr. Yu knew what was troubling Qian Du.

He sneered inwardly and said with sarcasm, "What’s the matter, haven’t you climbed up the ranks with the help of the Tian family? Such grandeur. Why don’t you ask the Tian family to plead with Mr. Vice Minister on your behalf?"

Finally, Qian Du couldn’t bear it anymore, pushed Mr. Yu away and left.

Mr. Yu shook his head: "Some people really are skilled at sailing with the wind."

Qian Du’s face had long since flushed red with embarrassment.

Ever since he left the Ministry of Revenue government office, he felt particularly uneasy and also somewhat fearful.

He feared the issues with the Tian family might implicate him.

Although aware of Imperial Concubine Tian’s misdeeds in the palace, he was unsure of the specifics.

Still, Qian Du had some guesses.

He suspected that Imperial Concubine Tian might be plotting against the Crown Prince or harming Emperor Shengping.

Considering earlier, Imperial Concubine Tian had harmed the Emperor’s son, and Emperor Shengping hadn’t done much.

Now that Imperial Concubine Tian was executed, she certainly must have committed a more grievous crime.

Thinking about the harm caused by Imperial Concubine Tian, Qian Du was trembling with fear.

Now that he had been dismissed, he didn’t want to end up in prison.

Upon returning home, Qian Du immediately wrote a letter of divorce to Tian Meixiang.

Tian Meixiang, already frantic and fearful due to Imperial Concubine Tian’s crisis, unexpectedly received a divorce letter from Qian Du.

Tian Meixiang, not one to be trifled with, tore up the divorce letter immediately, pointed at Qian Du and scolded: "Mr. Qian, now you want to get rid of me? Not a chance. When our Tian family was in its heyday, you were like a dog eager to lick our feet. Now that you see our Tian family in trouble, you want to divorce me? I tell you, forget it."

Ms. Qian He, hearing Tian Meixiang’s ranting, also came over.

Seeing Tian Meixiang jumping and cursing, she also started cursing.

"You wretched little bitch, had I known your whole Tian family were such harmful creatures, who would want to marry you? With your looks, how could you match my son? My son could even match a Princess, you..."

Upon hearing this, Tian Meixiang couldn’t stand it, rolled up her sleeves, and started beating Ms. Qian He.

Qian Du naturally wouldn’t let Ms. Qian He suffer, and joined the fray.

The three of them fought wildly, all ending up worse for wear.

The Qian home never had a peaceful moment, while Anning, on the other hand, met with Empress Chu.

Originally, Anning thought that even if Emperor Shengping acknowledged her, it would be through sending someone to bring her into the palace for recognition, but she didn’t expect the Empress to leave the palace.
