"Hmph, isn't this letting him off easy? I'm going to strip him of his position as regent." Zhao Ruizhi angrily waved his fist.

"Absolutely not! The Regent has rendered great service to the nation. Even if he unfortunately encountered something in the sealed land, the human race and the entire world should remember his achievements. How could he do something so despicable!" Jiang Boyang finally couldn't contain his anger and spoke sternly.

Sang Hong also stepped forward and reported, "Indeed, the Regent has made many outstanding contributions to the court in recent years, and now he is risking great danger to solve the problem of the extraterrestrial demons. I wonder what mistake he has made to make Your Majesty so angry."

What a joke! The Sang family is now completely tied to Zu'an, how could he sit idly by?

At this point, ministers from the Qin family, the Murong family, and other families who were on good terms with Zu'an began to speak out in agreement. In addition, many ministers who were close to the National Academy also began to speak out.

Zhao Ruizhi never expected that the courtiers, who had just been so respectful, would suddenly become so aggressive. Seeing that many of them were known for their authority, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "Even if what you say makes sense, but... but he bullied my Linglong, how can I... how can I let him off lightly?"

These words were spoken without any imperial authority; on the contrary, the speaker became increasingly aggrieved as he spoke, and his voice became barely audible.

However, all the ministers who were qualified to attend the morning court session were highly accomplished individuals, and everyone could hear everything clearly.

The court, which had just been filled with fervor, suddenly fell silent. Everyone looked at Bi Linglong in shock, wondering how such a shocking revelation could suddenly emerge.

Bi Linglong almost fainted from anger, feeling both ashamed and furious. However, she reacted quickly and immediately snorted, "His Majesty was frightened last night and is somewhat delirious today, even talking nonsense. Someone, help His Majesty back to his palace to rest."

"yes!"

Soon, eunuchs and palace maids went to help Zhao Ruizhi. The Empress usually had a high reputation, and except for the special circumstances like yesterday when the incident happened suddenly, everyone subconsciously obeyed her orders.

Zhao Ruizhi protested, "I'm not confused. I don't want to go back to rest. That Zu guy bullied you, and you were only doing it to protect me..."

At this moment, Prince Yi coughed lightly to interrupt him: "Your Majesty is indeed a little confused. You should go back to the palace to rest as soon as possible."

He's under the most pressure here. You see, last night, to trick this foolish emperor into stamping the document, his two sons used Zu'an as an excuse. If they really investigate, his family will probably be in deep trouble.

Normally, for a subject to speak to the emperor like this would be considered treasonous, but now, not a single person in the entire hall seemed to find it inappropriate. On the contrary, many people echoed this sentiment, urging the emperor to go back and rest as soon as possible.

What a joke! If this foolish emperor spills any more information, how will we handle the situation?

With so many people in the main hall, who can guarantee that the news won't leak out?

After all, the other party was the rightful emperor, and no one could ignore what he said.

Moreover, if what he said is true, then the affair between a subject and the empress is an extremely shocking scandal, even in history, and every single one of them will be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history books.

The key question is how to handle this in reality?

Should the regent really be punished?

Not to mention that the Regent has a strong network of connections in the court and is the Chancellor of the National Academy, even without these, based on his own strength alone, who would dare to touch him, and who would understand him?

The bodies of Prince Jin, the Meng family patriarch, countless experts from the Prince Dai's mansion, and even that terrifying golden dragon are still warm.

Who would dare to go and die?

Besides, if we really push him to the side of the demon race, and he leads his army south, it will be questionable whether the entire Great Zhou Dynasty can still exist.

If the foolish emperor's words were false, then if they were to spread, it would be a huge blow to the emperor's sanctity and authority, and the entire royal family and court officials would likely become a laughing stock.

so……

Your Majesty, please shut up!

This was a shared thought among almost everyone in the imperial court.

Zhao Ruizhi was about to say something more, but Bi Linglong glared at him with fierce eyes, and he immediately shut his mouth in fright.

He had been disciplined by the other party since he was a prince. The other party was sometimes like his mother, with a natural sense of dominance over him like a cat over a mouse.

After Zhao Ruizhi was "invited" back to his palace by the eunuchs and maids, Bi Linglong looked at the assembled officials and ministers, wanting to say something, but her cheeks burned, she hadn't felt so embarrassed in many years.

No matter how intelligent she was, or how dignified she was, she was still just a teenage girl, and she couldn't possibly remain calm in the face of such a situation.

She had considered countless scenarios in which her relationship with Zuan would be exposed, but she had never imagined this one.

Everything happened so suddenly...

She remained silent, and the other ministers in the Crown Prince dared not speak either, each one cautious and careful, afraid of inadvertently incurring bad luck.

This has put those who just stood up to plead for Zuan in a difficult position; they can't continue speaking now, nor can they back down.

Sang Hong's expression was strange. You see, he had felt a bit depressed when he thought about how his daughter and daughter-in-law had been wiped out by Zu An. He could only keep comforting himself that his son-in-law was like half a son, so it was good to keep the good stuff in the family.

Seeing that he could even handle the Empress, she felt a strange sense of pride and honor, as her daughter, daughter-in-law and the Empress were all sisters!

Jiang Boyang's face was also quite interesting at this moment. He thought to himself that although he knew that the boy was a womanizer, he never expected that he would be so audacious as to dare to lay a finger on the Empress.

No, I have to go back and keep my daughter away from him.
