Chapter 530: His Heart is Deserve to Be Punished

The shadow of a giant dragon rose from the three cannons, circling into the sky, growing larger and larger, blocking out the sky and the sun.

The light on the three salute cannons gradually dimmed and returned to its original state without any damage.

The dragon's roar resounded throughout the heaven and earth, shocking everyone.

The emperor's expression changed from fright to shock, and then from shock to ecstasy.

All the officials also exclaimed:

"It's a dragon, a real dragon!"

"This is clearly a sign of good fortune from heaven!"

"This is a blessing for me!"

The people knelt down towards the sky, worshiping this miraculous and amazing scene.

Only Xiao Zirui's face turned pale and blue. He looked towards the Imperial Master abruptly, only to see that the other party was also looking at the sky in shock, without paying any attention to him.

The emperor looked at the giant dragon hovering in the sky and was in great joy. However, when he looked at Xiao Zirui again, there was a hint of coldness in his eyes:

"Prince Rui, you slandered the Regent and mobilized troops without permission. Do you have anything else to say?"

Xiao Zirui's eyelids twitched, and various thoughts ran wildly in his mind. He defended himself by saying:

"No...Father, it's not like that!"

He suddenly had an idea, raised his head abruptly, and said righteously:

"Your son is certain that the last three salutes were tampered with by the Regent! The appearance of this auspicious dragon is clearly due to your father's great fortune. It was the auspicious sign that saved your father from this disaster! But this does not allow the Regent to escape punishment!"

The emperor was stunned by what he said, frowned and wondered whether what he said made sense.

The giant dragon in the sky suddenly swooped down, and a dark mass pressed down, causing another round of screams.

The powerful feeling of oppression frightened many people to their knees.

The emperor's face didn't look very good either. He had just lost his soul and was still recuperating after finding it back. This time he almost couldn't stand.

Xiao Changheng rushed to his side and supported him, and the emperor finally stood firm.

Xiao Zirui's face changed, and he was about to say something when the giant dragon in the sky suddenly stopped and its huge tail swept past seemingly lightly.

The arrow hit Xiao Zirui exactly, throwing him more than ten feet away. He fell to the ground, dazed and unable to get up for a while.

The emperor was startled, and the muscles on his face trembled as he looked at the giant dragon rising into the sky again.

“This… this is…”

The civil and military officials reacted and shouted:

"It's obvious that the Dragon God disagrees with King Rui's words and is punishing him!"

"Doesn't that mean that what His Royal Highness Prince Rui just said is all nonsense!"

"The Prince Regent has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and everyone has seen it! How can we allow someone to frame him like this! Look, even the heavens cannot tolerate what Prince Rui said, and he has been punished!"

Amidst the discussions, Xiao Zirui struggled to get up and looked at the emperor with a pale face:

"Father, I am innocent! What happened just now must have been a coincidence... I was only trying to protect you..."

Before he could finish his words, the giant dragon in the sky roared again and blew a breath.

The wind was blowing hard, but everyone was fine except Xiao Zirui who was knocked to the ground.

If the last attack was just a coincidence, with the dragon accidentally sweeping over him and injuring him, but two consecutive attacks could not be considered a coincidence.

That dragon was clearly targeting Xiao Zirui!

Xiao Zirui was thrown to the ground violently, and he felt as if all the bones in his body were broken. He was horrified and confused, and did not dare to move for a while.

The giant dragon in the sky then let out another long roar, and its figure gradually disappeared between heaven and earth. The strong wind finally stopped, and the sky cleared up again.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor showed a look of joy and held Xiao Changheng's arm tightly:

"Royal brother, this salute that can summon auspiciousness was modified by you? You really did a great deed this time!"

Xiao Changheng lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing. The emperor didn't care and just took it as his consent.

Suddenly, many of the civil and military officials spoke up:

"Your Majesty, the matter is clear. The Regent has no ill intentions, but Prince Rui has assumed malicious intent and secretly mobilized troops. Your Majesty must not tolerate this!"

"If King Rui is not severely punished for what he did today, where will the Regent be placed?"

"The Prince Regent has always been loyal to the emperor and patriotic. He is the patron saint of Daliang and a hero in the hearts of the people! But Prince Rui slandered him for wanting to harm His Majesty. He deserves death!"

"I second the motion!"

"I second this motion!"

"Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"

Xiao Zirui panicked, suddenly looked at the Imperial Master, and said loudly:

"Master Imperial Master! What are you waiting for!"
