Murong Yue skipped the second sentence because she didn't understand what the imperial palace meant.

But I grasped the key point of the first sentence.

"My house?"

Seeing that Ah Hao didn't object, Murong Yue risked getting her brain fried and tried hard to figure out that the beautiful big house might, perhaps, or probably really was hers.

this...

What should we do? Leave or stay?

It seems like the choice is even harder now...

“Your Majesty, watch your step,” A-Hao said, helping her into the Hall of Diligent Governance, her face returning to its expressionless state.

She was His Majesty's personal maid, and held an official position.

Sometimes they are more respectable than many officials.

Solemnity is required when attending court.

"Your Majesty, long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

The hall wasn't large; at least in Murong Yue's opinion, it wasn't as big as her house.

However, seeing these humans kneeling on the ground, each with their necks exposed, looking like they were waiting to be eaten, made her genuinely happy.

This seems a bit old, I won't eat it.

This is too rough, forget it.

This one, however, has delicate skin and tender flesh; I might consider eating this first.

Xu Qing, the Minister of Justice, inexplicably felt a chill on his neck...

Moreover, she liked the slogans these humans had just shouted: Long live!

She understands, ten thousand years!

Powerful zombies are meant to live this long!

She likes it!

Seeing the old man standing there, Murong Yue instinctively walked towards Li Xuanji.

Seeing that the other person was standing, she also stood up.

He grinned at Li Xuanji and stood straight beside him, showing no intention of sitting on the dragon throne.

Li Xuanji quickly reminded her, "Your Majesty, you should still take a rest. Please... sit down."

Your Majesty has just recovered and must not overwork yourself.

He subtly pointed to the large dragon throne.

This golden thing is actually for me to sit on?

Murong Yue glanced at the old man, then at the dragon throne, but did not move.

My heart is so tired, why do I have to think again?

Is this old man a liar?

Li Xuanji hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, this is your seat."

Oh, oh, oh.

Murong Yue understood again; the house was hers, and so was the golden chair.

She plopped down on her stomach.

Li Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his guess was right; His Majesty had indeed forgotten some things.

But it doesn't matter, he will teach His Majesty again, just as he taught His Majesty when His Majesty was a child.

Murong Yue sat on top, scanning the humans below one by one, and continued to carefully select ingredients.

She decided that, given the chance, she would eat everyone here equally.

Uh...except for old men.

Ah-hao is an exception.

The ministers kneeling below did not receive any permission from His Majesty to rise, but they all felt a chill on their necks.

Everyone was thinking that they should wear a scarf when they went to court tomorrow.

It's too cold.

Murong Yue remained silent, as did Li Xuanji.

Finally, Xu Qing, the Minister of Justice, shakily raised his head, took out a memorial, and held it above his head.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Murong Yue now knows that "Your Majesty" is used to address her.

It seems this delicate-skinned human is the first one we need to beat up.

She glanced at Li Xuanji, who nodded.

Murong Yue raised her chin and uttered two words, "Go ahead and beat them up."

She wanted to see how humans would beg to be beaten; it would be quite a novelty.

"Your Majesty, winter has arrived. Should the serious criminals imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice be executed now, or next autumn?"

Every autumn, the imperial court would execute a group of people.

But I will ask His Majesty again before the end of the year, because some people have committed crimes that are simply...unworthy of living another day in this world.

Murong Yue blinked.

I can understand each word separately, so why can't I understand it when they're put together?

Are you asking her how to beat someone up?

Do these people know that they're good at beating people up? Or have they discovered they're a zombie?

She glanced at the old man again, and seeing that he didn't react, Murong Yue decided to disguise herself as more human.

"You, stand up and speak carefully."

She uttered words one by one, feeling that she was most coherent and human when she spoke three or four words at a time.

Humans always have many inexplicable reasons for hitting and being hit, and asking for the reasons makes them seem more normal.

Xu Qing got up from the ground.

The other adults' knees ached from kneeling, and they dared not move without His Majesty's permission.

He could only secretly tug at his knees when Xu Qing got up.

In the past, His Majesty usually followed the Ministry of Justice's regulations when dealing with death row inmates, and only conducted a simple examination.

The first time, Xu Qing was asked to explain in detail.

Xu Qing dreamed of having such an opportunity to demonstrate the strength of the Ministry of Justice and his abilities before His Majesty.

He would be content to die if he could receive a single word of praise from His Majesty.

Moreover, he has a big task to do today.

So Xu Qing cleared his throat, opened the memorial, and began to tell the story.

"In the Suizhou murder case, the main culprit pretended to be a relative of the prefect of Suizhou and swindled people. He was resentful after being exposed."

"After drinking, he broke into the Suizhou School and killed five students with a knife, seriously injuring five others."

The six departments sometimes cooperate, but they rarely pay attention to each other's work.

The ministers were also hearing the specific details of the murder case in Suizhou for the first time, and they all stared wide-eyed.

The Kingdom of Qing is at peace, but such a horrifying thing has happened beneath this peace!
