Why?
"Father, what if there are traps inside? Wouldn't that be dangerous?"
"Let me go first, I'll go in first!"
Situ Xianjing ran over from the other side of the doorway and saw the hidden compartment in front of her.
I was so frightened that I took several steps back.
"How could this be..."
Even she couldn't open this hidden compartment; her father always led her in. How could this be...?
"Ling Feng, no!"
"You are the Crown Prince, and I am getting old. It is alright for me to have something to do, but you cannot!"
"No, Father, I will be fine." He has spiritual roots, and simple mechanisms are no match for him.
Unless it's a large, well-known organization.
Seeing that the Azure Wolf Emperor hesitated, An Lingfeng walked directly in front of him.
And so, at An Lingfeng's insistence, everyone followed him inside.
"I never imagined there was a place like this here. It's truly an eye-opener."
"That's right, this is the first time I've ever seen something like this in my lifetime."
"Your Majesty, let me go first. My life is worthless."
The Azure Wolf Emperor glanced at the Vice Minister of Rites and secretly made a mental note of it.
"Clang, clang."
An Lingfeng picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the passage. Only after the passage showed no reaction did he continue walking.
"Prime Minister, your great undertaking will soon be accomplished. I am here to congratulate you on your ascension to the throne."
"Hahaha, good, Fufeng, if I succeed in this great undertaking, you will be the first to be appointed as the founding general!"
"Thank you, Prime Minister!"
————
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
Prime Minister Situ knelt on the ground in fear, his knees trembling uncontrollably, and he dared not lift his head.
"Your Majesty, I was just joking..."
Emperor Canglang sat on the dragon throne, patted the armrests with both hands, and looked around.
Sure enough, everything here was exactly the same as in his palace, even the dragon throne was almost a replica.
If he hadn't seen it today, he probably wouldn't have even noticed that it had been switched.
"Just kidding..." His voice was low, revealing no anger whatsoever, "...and wearing a dragon robe?"
He stared intently at the dragon robe worn by Prime Minister Situ, scrutinizing its style.
It was indeed more handsome than the dragon robe he was wearing.
"Your Majesty, this dragon robe is... is..."
"What is it?" The Azure Wolf Emperor waited for him to continue.
"It was... given to me by Fufeng!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Feng, who was standing nearby, was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy, "No, no, Your Majesty, this was not a gift from your humble servant!"
"So you also hold an official position?!" Emperor Canglang had initially thought this person was just a wandering swordsman.
After all, he had never met this person before.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I am a clerk in the Court of Judicial Review."
“This dragon robe was not a gift from your humble servant to the Prime Minister; he ordered me to have it made for him.”
Prime Minister Situ turned his head angrily, "Fufeng, this was clearly a gift from you to me, why don't you acknowledge it?"
“Your Excellency, this is not a gift from me. You gave me 50,000 taels of silver when you asked me to make this dragon robe for you.”
The Azure Wolf Emperor touched the ring on his hand, seemingly uninterested in who gave it to him.
Throughout the entire world, he remained calm and undisturbed.
"Get up."
Prime Minister Situ was taken aback.
"I'm speaking!" Emperor Canglang raised his voice slightly and looked up at Prime Minister Situ.
Prime Minister Situ's legs were so weak he couldn't stand up. He forced himself to ask, "Your Majesty, you... don't blame me?"
"No, what's so strange about it?"
These words were spoken.
It shocked everyone present.
The ministers, in particular, were furious.
"Your Majesty, you cannot let him go!"
"He is committing treason!"
"Wearing dragon robes, building palaces, making dragon thrones, and calling himself... calling himself a title reserved for His Majesty—every action of his reveals his ambition!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, if Prime Minister Situ were to change the dynasty, we might not even have a chance to survive."
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
One by one, everyone knelt down and begged the Azure Wolf Emperor.
The Azure Wolf Emperor's eyes gradually changed, which gave Prime Minister Situ a bad feeling.
Getting someone to rescue you is harder than climbing to heaven.
Only he and Fufeng knew about this palace, and Fufeng only told him about it a few days ago when he promised to make a dragon robe for him.
You thought he was loyal, but before the disaster even arrived, he turned his back on you!
"When did I ever say I would let him go?"
"I ask you, where did you have this dragon robe made?"
The Azure Wolf Emperor merely made him stand up; he wanted to see exactly how Shi Longpao differed from him.
The embroiderers in the palace are getting worse and worse.
The embroidery was actually inferior to a casual outfit worn outside the palace.
Prime Minister Situ's brow twitched. "Reimburse..."
"Guards! Prime Minister Situ has been accused of treason and rebellion. His entire family, including nine generations of his relatives, shall be executed!"
As Hua Ying landed, Situ Xianjing hurriedly squeezed to the front from the crowd, crying and begging for mercy, "Your Majesty, please don't do this, Father was just confused for a moment."
"He didn't plot a rebellion at all; he just thought the dragon robe looked nice, so he made one for fun."
"It was all...it was all Fufeng's doing. He's the one who ruined Father."
"Don't make false accusations, Situ Xianjing. Whether I harmed your father or was harmed by him, everyone in your family knows better than anyone else."
"Now that the truth has come out, you actually want me to take the blame all by myself?"
Oh dear, beheading time.
Bad people get punished, bad people should get punished.
