Jiang Chen's sharp gaze pierced through the Golden Luan Hall, fixing on the main generals who had participated in the rebellion.

There were probably over four hundred of these officers, large and small.

They were all wearing shackles and kneeling in the square.

"Guards, execute them!"

"Leave none of these traitors alive! Execute them all!"

Jiang Chen stood with his hands behind his back, delivering his judgment coldly.

As soon as he spoke, the imperial guards didn't hesitate, raising their blades directly.

Amidst the rebel generals' horrified and pleading cries, they swung down with force, severing over four hundred heads!

The orderly movements and efficient disposal silenced the officials who witnessed the bloody scene firsthand.

Standing expressionlessly at the highest point, Jiang Chen said majestically, "Xu Mu, I order you to lead the imperial guards now to confiscate their homes and exterminate their families, arresting all the relatives of these rebellious subjects and throwing them into prison."

Xu Mu cupped his fist, scars crisscrossing his face, revealing raw, red flesh.

"Su Wen, your Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice will work together to investigate. I want to know all the information about this rebellion!"

"Furthermore, I will grant you the authority to act as you see fit, executing nobles above and punishing officials below. As long as there is suspicion, throw them into the imperial prison for me. Rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go!"

Jiang Chen's cold tone made Su Wen afraid to even breathe, and he immediately declared, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Meng Qi, you personally search Mei Wenshi's residence and bring back all official documents and letters, leaving no corner untouched!"

"..."

With the issuance of each command, the entire court moved according to Jiang Chen's will.

Having personally witnessed the bloody massacre in the Golden Luan Hall, the ministers no longer dared to harbor any ulterior motives. In this sensitive period, His Majesty was truly capable of killing!

And this was precisely the effect Jiang Chen wanted.

Prosper with me, or perish!

If the methods weren't ruthless, how could he deter those lurking monsters and demons in the shadows?

After the court session ended.

Jiang Chen went to the harem.

Although he had already mobilized elite troops to protect the Consort Shu, he was still worried that Mei Wenshi would be determined to take her life.

Pushing open the vermilion gate of the palace, Jiang Chen strode into the main hall.

Consort Shu and Liu Huixin, these two delicate beauties, were sitting anxiously at a square table in the corner.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, panic appeared on their charming faces.

But after seeing the face of the person who had come, that panic instantly turned into dependence, and they ran into Jiang Chen's arms.

Choking with emotion, she said, "Your Majesty, Yun'er was worried about you all night, and thought... Fortunately, fortunately, you are alright!"

"If anything were to happen to you, Yun'er, Yun'er wouldn't want to live alone!"

Liu Huixin had also been frightened and hadn't slept all night, with dark circles under her eyes, her delicate charm arousing pity.

She had heard the sounds of fighting and war all night and was very afraid, thinking wildly until morning.

As imperial concubines, Jiang Chen was their only support. If he fell, the fate of these concubines would definitely be miserable.

Therefore, seeing Jiang Chen safe and sound, the heart that had been hanging for a night finally fell.

Jiang Chen looked at the two women in front of him, tears in their eyes, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

It was good that they were alright!

When he came in just now, he saw several corpses of Xuanjia guards along the way. If he hadn't deployed heavy troops in advance, he might have seen two corpses now.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's heart tightened, and he put his arms around the two women, taking turns gently kissing their foreheads.

"It's safe now. The overall situation has been settled. The rebel troops have all been wiped out, and I am safe and sound."

"Thank heaven, thank heaven." Consort Shu was relieved, her pretty face full of rejoicing, and she pulled Jiang Chen, checking to see if he was injured.

Liu Huixin was the same.

However, she was bolder, directly reaching out her jade hands and exploring Jiang Chen's robes up and down, checking very carefully.

Jiang Chen looked at the two women with solemn faces, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, but in the end, he did not object, standing there and letting them observe.

After a long time.

Consort Shu and Liu Huixin finally confirmed that Jiang Chen was well, and their tense spirits relaxed, their pretty faces showing fatigue.

Jiang Chen looked at their haggard faces, and a feeling of pity surged in his heart. He decided to stay and accompany them, and by the way, catch up on some sleep to recharge his energy.

"Jing Yue, I'll leave the aftermath to you. Restore order in the palace as soon as possible, and I'll give you further instructions after the morning court tomorrow."

Jing Yue nodded, understanding his meaning, "Yes, Your Majesty, you can rest assured."

"This subordinate guarantees that there will be no problems while you are resting!"

Jiang Chen was very confident in Jing Yue's ability and didn't give any further instructions. After nodding, he took Consort Shu and Liu Huixin into the palace.

While he was in a gentle embrace, the outside world was in a state of panic.

Countless families of high status and power were taken away by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, and the prison carts used for transportation even caused congestion on the main roads of the imperial capital.

The next day, the sky was clear.

The soldiers were still confiscating homes and exterminating families, and the entire imperial capital was in a state of panic.

After a day of fermentation, the news of Mei Wenshi's rebellion had completely spread throughout Great Wei, shocking all directions.

Countless feudal lords and nobles sent spies to the imperial capital, wanting to obtain first-hand information.

Jiang Chen, who was being spied on by countless people, was still fast asleep in the harem.

"Your Majesty, wake up, it's time for the court session!" Liu Huixin, covered in a thin veil, leaned over to Jiang Chen's ear and gently called out.

Jiang Chen was awakened by her warm breath, slowly opened his eyes, and immediately saw a pair of snowy and plump breasts, trembling slightly under the thin veil, tempting people to pluck them.

Looking at the deep and beautiful scenery in front of him, Jiang Chen's eyes instantly became fiery.

Liu Huixin's pretty face flushed, and she said娇怯, "Your Majesty, Chief Eunuch Feng and Commander Xu have already come to pay their respects several times, presumably there are urgent matters in the court that need your attention."

"If, if you want your concubine to serve you, can we wait until tonight...?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chen was about to answer, but Consort Shu next to her groaned, as if she was about to wake up.

This sound made Liu Huixin extremely ashamed.

Although she had already entered the palace as a concubine, she was, after all, from a respectable family. The words she had just said to beg for favor were really shameful.

If Consort Shu heard it, how would she face anyone in the future!

Liu Huixin was so ashamed that she wanted to bury her head in the quilt, but Jiang Chen next to her was calm, and even more excited by this accident.

He glanced at Consort Shu and found that she was still in a dream, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"Yin'er, come over here!" Jiang Chen ordered with a wicked smile on his face.

"Ah... Your, Your Majesty, the Consort, the Consort is still..." Liu Huixin was stunned for a moment. After realizing Jiang Chen's intentions, her face instantly turned red, and she couldn't even speak clearly.

Jiang Chen didn't have time to pull her, and pretended to be displeased, "What? Do you want to disobey the imperial decree?"

A look of embarrassment appeared on Liu Huixin's pretty face, and her beautiful eyes looked timidly at Consort Shu not far away, her red lips pursed slightly...
