What she said was so confident and justified that it was beyond Erzhu Huaji's understanding. Erzhu Huaji was choked for a moment and opened his mouth, but could not say anything.
"I refuse moral kidnapping. As long as I have no morals, you can't kidnap me."
Erzhu Huaji didn't understand what she was saying. He gritted his teeth, squeezing every word out between them. "Okay, you all heard it, so you can't blame me!"
He is still putting on airs until now, and has successfully intimidated some ministers who were already worried.
For the sake of their own lives, they looked at Jiang Zhiyu with condemnation.
"How can you speak like that, Censor Jiang? If it weren't for the people of Tianqi, how could you have been worthy of being a Censor?"
"That's right, besides, it's just a case of curing one person. Curing one person saves the entire city. Censor Jiang, which is more important?"
There were some more words like this, but Jiang Zhiyu yawned and didn't even hear them.
This is just the beginning. She has seen a lot of these things.
The emperor was about to stop him when He Yanting and Jiang Kang'an spoke at the same time. They looked at each other and Jiang Kang'an continued, "The matter has not yet been concluded. Your Excellencies, there is no need to be so anxious."
He Yanting's eyes fell on Jiang Zhiyu. He knew that Zhiyu didn't care about these words, but he couldn't bear to see it.
Since Zhiyu didn't save her, she must have her own considerations. No one should try to threaten her in any way.
The ministers who had spoken suddenly felt a chill in their bodies and fell silent.
Seeing that the voices of condemnation had stopped, Erzhu Huaji frowned and wanted to say something else, but he felt a force on his back. He pulled Tudola tighter in his arms, then tilted his head and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood with a "wow".
Jiang Zhiyu stepped forward slowly: "Why are you still pretending? If you have this ability, don't even mention Nan Gu, the whole world will be yours."
Erzhu Huaji hugged Tudola tightly and bit his back teeth hard, making a harsh grinding sound.
"I'm not interested in saving someone who wants to harm me, even though she failed," Jiang Zhiyu looked at Erzhu Huaji. "You're panicking now, aren't you? You're obviously not smart, but Tudora has become like this. If you don't bluff, I'm afraid neither of you will be able to escape the apocalypse."
Erzhu Huaji's eyes were evasive in panic.
"You're almost like a sieve, it's a miracle they were fooled by you."
Are you shaking?
Erzhu Huaji's eyes were dazed, and he lowered his head to look at his hands, which were indeed shaking badly.
"H-How do you know?"
He gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.
Jiang Zhiyu didn't want to pay attention to him: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to rest."
[There's been so much trouble every day, there's no peace for a moment, but since we've solved so many of them at once, I should be able to have a few days of peace.]
I don't know what my mother is doing, she's so mysterious.
The emperor waved his hand to signal the Jinyiwei to drag all these people away, including the ministers named by Prince Yu. There was a hint of fatigue on his face, but the light in his eyes was unusually sharp.
Among the ministers named by Prince Yu, many are people he values highly. This test can be regarded as a major reshuffle.
There are also those minor officials involved under them. If we want to investigate them in detail, it will probably take a while.
The emperor thought about it, and the joy in his eyes could hardly be concealed.
"Everyone, go back and rest. I'm afraid we'll be busy tomorrow."
The emperor was not worried about anyone seeking death. If there was really someone so stubborn, he would have committed suicide when Prince Yu called his name and saw that the situation was not right.
Everyone has that glimmer of hope in their heart, thinking that they might survive by chance.
"What happened today cannot be spread outside for the time being. Everyone, keep your mouths shut."
Everyone nodded in agreement. By now, the effect of the tendon softening powder had dissipated a lot, and the ministers no longer needed anyone's support. They staggered out of the hall.
Jiang Zhiyu commented sharply: [It looks just like the zombies in Plants vs. Zombies.]
When most of the ministers had left, He Yanting and Jiang Kang'an packed the poisonous insects in their hands, lit a fire in the hall, and threw the poisonous insects in.
【Crunchy and chicken-flavored.】
The others: “…”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards took the Queen Mother and Song Shiwei away from Xiao Lingyu's knife. Xiao Lingyu did not move, but just stood there, staring at the Queen's throne in a daze.
At this moment, hurried footsteps were heard from behind the hall.
It turned out that he was a coroner who went to perform an autopsy on the queen's body.
He fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare my life. The Queen's body... is lost!"
Lost?!
Before the emperor could say anything, Xiao Lingyu rushed forward and grabbed his collar with red eyes: "How did it get lost? It's right inside the palace. How could a thief break in? Isn't there someone else here? Where's Fuping?!"
No one had ever seen the usually gentle prince so angry. A hint of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes. Xiao Mingye hesitated whether to step forward, but was stopped by Jiang Wenjing.
The coroner was grabbed by the collar, his eyes filled with panic. He begged for mercy, "Prince, Your Highness, spare me! We had just entered the back hall and put the Empress down when the thief, who seemed to have been hiding there all along, moved so swiftly that I was knocked unconscious before I could even scream. I don't know what happened after that."
He swallowed and continued, "I just woke up and saw the palace collapsed. The Empress's body, which should have been on the bed, was missing. I didn't have time to test whether they were still alive, so I ran out to report the news."
Xiao Lingyu was breathing heavily, and the emperor scolded him lightly, "Let go of your hand! As a prince, how can you be so impatient?"
Hearing this, all the princes looked at the emperor in surprise.
The Queen had just died, and now her remains had been stolen by thieves. It was understandable that the Crown Prince was anxious, but instead he was reprimanded by the Emperor...
Xiao Lingyu loosened his hand, his voice tinged with tears, "Your Majesty, I am teaching you that I lost my temper."
He admitted his mistake so straightforwardly that a trace of discomfort flashed across the emperor's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, he heard a few sounds: "Ouch, ouch."
Looking up, Fu Ping limped in, holding his waist. Seeing the emperor, he burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I was scared to death. I almost thought I could no longer serve you."
[What a great acting skill! I really should let Erzhu Huaji see what can really scare people.]
emperor:"……"
The others: “…”
A deep meaning flashed across Xiao Lingyu's eyes.
Fu Ping continued to cry, and the emperor interrupted him impatiently: "I understand. Did you see the thief's appearance clearly?"
Fu Ping shook his head: "The thief acted too quickly, I didn't see clearly."
There was silence for a moment, and Xiao Mingye said, "Father, why don't we seal the palace gates and search thoroughly?"
"It's too late. If it had been earlier, it might have been okay," the emperor sighed. "Now that all the ministers are leaving the palace, the thief must have escaped long ago."
