The room fell silent upon hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, various dissenting voices erupted in the room:

"That's absolutely impossible. How could Lady Yu be a demon?"

"That's right. Demons are all ugly and vicious. Lady Yu is exceptionally beautiful. How could she possibly be a demon?"

"Lord Xu, are you mistaken?"

...

These people are usually worried about not finding an opportunity to curry favor with Madam Yu, so how could they let go of such a great opportunity now?

Zu An frowned. In fact, he also had some doubts about Yu Yanluo's identity. After all, after several interactions, her body did seem to be somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

Xu Yu was not the kind of person to speak without reason; if he said that, he probably had a certain degree of confidence.

Lady Yu is probably in danger today.

As expected, no matter how indignant the others were, Xu Yu remained calm and composed. After shouting for a while, the crowd gradually realized something was wrong and their voices unconsciously quieted down.

At this moment, Sang Hong spoke up: "Lord Xu, the Yu family is a very important family in our Great Zhou Dynasty. As the patriarch, Madam Yu cannot make arbitrary accusations."

As he was entrusted with the emperor's orders, he was naturally happy to see the Yu family run into trouble.

But if Xu Yu has no evidence and is just making baseless accusations, then he wouldn't mind coming out to uphold justice.

Sang Hong's identity was extraordinary, so Xu Yu naturally couldn't ignore him like he would others. He finally spoke up, saying, "I'm not saying that the Yu family has a problem, but only that Madam Yu has a problem."

"According to my investigation, she is not human, but a snake among the demon race, and not only that, she is also a member of the snake race's royal family, Medusa!"

Medusa!

Upon hearing this name, everyone in the room gasped in shock.

Legend has it that there are many groups of snakes, each with its own king. The different groups are constantly at war with each other, and none of them submit to the other.

Every few generations, the snake race would give birth to Medusa, who would be the Queen of Kings, and all the snake race would submit to her wholeheartedly.

It is said that Medusa was incredibly poisonous, and that her blood, if it fell to the ground, could turn the grasslands into deserts.

At the same time, he was ruthless and merciless, and wherever he went, he brought disaster and turmoil to that land.

Of course, she is most famous for the ability to turn any living thing into a lifeless stone sculpture wherever her gaze falls.

...

The officials present all changed their expressions upon recalling the various legends surrounding Medusa.

Especially considering that Medusa, though incredibly ruthless, was also unparalleled in beauty, and considering Yu Yanluo's unbelievably beautiful appearance, many people began to waver.

Zuan recalled that when Uncle Ming attacked him in the ice cave of the Great Snow Mountain, he seemed to freeze for a moment for no reason, which gave him the opportunity to successfully summon the imperial edict. At that time, he clearly felt that Yu Yanluo's aura had changed. Could it be that she used Medusa's innate ability?

However, as a transmigrator, he was completely unlike the native inhabitants of this world, whose fear of Medusa was ingrained in their very bones.

Moreover, Yu Yanluo is his friend, and it's impossible for him to turn against her because of her identity.

There are more than one or two demons and monsters around me.

He began, “Lord Xu, as far as I know, Madam Yu had a nickname back then, ‘The Most Beautiful Woman in the Capital.’ It was given to her by the princes and nobles of the capital when she traveled around the capital in her early years. At that time, heroes from all over the world gathered in the capital, and many people admired her, including even the current emperor.”

Yu Yanluo's face was originally a little pale, but when she heard him say these things, a blush appeared on her face. She was already used to other people saying similar things, but when he said them, she felt a little embarrassed.

Zu'an continued, "Back then, so many talented people couldn't tell that Lady Yu was a demon, not even the current emperor could tell. Yet Lord Xu did, which is really hard to believe."

Although it wasn't said directly, the implication was that it wasn't meant to look down on you...

The other officials seemed to realize something and chimed in, "That's right, the capital is full of hidden talents. Even they didn't notice anything unusual, which proves that Madam Yu is indeed innocent."

Xu Yu gave Zu An a deep look: "This humble official naturally dares not compare himself to His Majesty, but according to my investigation, Medusa's bloodline does not manifest at the beginning, but only awakens at a specific age. When Madam Yu arrived in the capital, she was still young, and her bloodline had not yet awakened, so it is normal that the people in the capital could not see it."

Zu An snorted coldly: "But not long ago, Madam Yu went to the capital and met with the Emperor. She also met with many other aristocratic families. How come no one noticed anything wrong with her?"

Xu Yu said in a deep voice, "Medusa's bloodline has grown extremely rapidly after awakening. After Madam Yu's cultivation level became high, she naturally had a way to seal the bloodline and prevent outsiders from seeing the flaws."

Zu An laughed heartily: "Lord Xu, your words are a bit too domineering. You're right no matter what you say, so what's the point of discussing it?"

Many of Yu Yanluo's fans echoed this sentiment, but the scale of the movement was much smaller than before.

No one present was stupid. By this time, they realized that Xu Yu's gathering was probably aimed at Yu Yanluo. They were worried about getting involved, so they all distanced themselves from her.

Meanwhile, Xu Yu's confidants naturally spoke up for him, and with this ebb and flow, a balance was achieved between the two sides.

At this moment, Sang Hong coughed and said, "Lord Xu, everything must be based on evidence, especially since Madam Yu's status is extraordinary. If this is not handled properly, it could have a huge impact."
