Chapter 616 Thank you, Princess, for saving my life
The palace soon returned to peace.
The court officials and their families all knelt on the ground, shaking like chaff, and dared not look up at Mu Yihan.
You know, nearly two months ago, Mu Yihan issued a ban on opium.
Those who dared to smoke opium would be exiled at the least and beheaded at the worst.
And court officials, no matter how big or small, who committed the offense would be punished even more severely, and all of this was clearly stated!
So, wouldn't they all be dead?
What should we do...
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, suppressed his fear and begged, "Master Imperial Master, we know that we have committed serious sins, but we were also deeply deceived. We did not take drugs intentionally. It was all Gu Changying who deliberately deceived us."
Mu Yihan lowered his eyes and stared at him, provoking, "We must have evidence when doing things."
"Just now, the people I sent to search came back and said that they did not find any trace of opium paste in Gu Changying's house."
"Now, there is no evidence to arrest her, and there is no way to prove that you were deceived. It seems that she has already thought about it and cleared herself." Mu Yihan's tone was light, but it was powerful.
Hearing that Gu Changying was not only not arrested, but also successfully destroyed the evidence and cleared herself.
The court officials in the palace were so angry that their lungs were about to explode. If they hadn't been caught and brought to the palace, they would have wanted to stab her three times and six times, making this vicious woman bleed three feet!
Zhang Xuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and others knew the thundering methods that the Imperial Master always used, and thought that they would not be able to escape.
So one by one they closed their eyes, bowed their heads to the ground, and burst out with anger and regret.
They didn't even ask for their lives.
They just asked not to harm their offspring... and asked the Imperial Master to kill that bitch Gu Changying!
But at this moment, Mu Yihan opened his mouth softly and said something that they dared not even dream of.
"Officials who inhaled opium poppy paste should be put to death, but--" "
But I am willing to believe that you have been deceived, and I will not pursue the matter this time." Mu Yihan raised his hand slightly, giving them hope of survival again.
What?
Zhang Xuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and others raised their heads.
Their eyes were so shocked that they popped out.
The Imperial Master actually spared them?
Mu Yihan's eyes darkened, but his tone was unusually gentle, "Otherwise, I would not have arrested you with great fanfare, but ordered the Black Armored Army to change into casual clothes, and covered your heads all the way, just to prevent the outside world from knowing, so as to give you some room to maneuver."
After hearing this, everyone's hearts, which had almost fallen into an icy cave, were suddenly lifted up again!
Zhang Xuan and the others couldn't hold back their tears, and they knocked their heads on the ground, and they didn't stop even when they saw stars.
"Thank you, Imperial Master, for sparing our lives."
"We are deeply grateful and will swear allegiance to you until death to repay your kindness!"
It was only a matter of a word from the Imperial Master to spare their lives.
But from the very beginning of arresting them, they deliberately kept a low profile, did not let their identities be exposed, and protected the reputations of their families. This is the kindness of the Imperial Master, how can they not be grateful.
Mu Yihan's goal has been achieved.
At this time, he also had some plans in his mind.
He stood up from his seat again, pretending to be casual, and picked up his little cotton-padded jacket.
"However, you don't have to thank me for this. If it weren't for the princess's reminder, I wouldn't have known that you might have been deceived, and I might not have seen through Gu Changying's deception in time."
Zhang Xuan and others hurriedly raised their heads, revealing their bleeding foreheads.
Is there something about the little princess here?
At this time, Wu Que spoke up and explained seriously, "This is a long story. At first, Gu Changying bought the Wuyun Taxue from the Jiang family and deliberately splashed the dirty water on the Jiang family. Our little princess was the first to notice that something was wrong, so she sorted out the matter and informed the national teacher in time."
"That's why our national teacher was able to send out the Black Armored Army and bring back all the adults, so that you wouldn't be deceived any more." Wu Que said meaningfully.
The court officials were all shocked.
The princess was only five years old, but she could find out that the cat was sick so early, but they, the adults, didn't notice it at all...
They, these fools, have lived for decades in vain, and all these brains added together are not as good as one toe of the princess.
At the same time, they were filled with strong gratitude!
If Princess Nuobao hadn't discovered it early, they would have been ruined by the opium paste.
Their lives would have been ruined!
So when they returned, Zhang Xuan and the others desperately selected expensive gifts. The little princess had saved their lives, so they had to go to her house to thank her!
