"Your Majesty?!"
The thunderbolt struck the emperor unexpectedly.
All the civil and military officials were stunned.
The outraged people were stunned.
Even Murong Yue, who was closest to the emperor, opened her mouth in shock.
Thick black smoke came out of her mouth.
She was too close to Murong Lie and was attacked indiscriminately by lightning.
At this moment, her hair was all burnt, and her face was covered in dust and looked miserable. She no longer looked like the cold and elegant goddess she had before.
The only thing that was noticeable on his body was his pair of eyes, clearly black and white, which were rolling back and forth, looking funny and ridiculous.
At this moment, Murong Yue's eyes were filled with anger and despair.
Who did she offend?
Why is it that every time the emperor is struck by lightning, I get implicated too?
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Help, help quickly!"
"Imperial Physician, call the Imperial Physician! The Emperor has been struck by lightning!"
In the dead silence, it was the newly appointed chief eunuch Wang Defa who reacted first.
He rushed forward regardless of everything, protecting the emperor while shouting wildly.
Civil and military officials were in chaos.
Who could have imagined that the emperor would be struck by lightning?
Considering that the emperor's bedroom was also struck by lightning last night, the expressions of all the officials suddenly became subtle.
"Hahaha, good, good chop!"
Some people among the people were the first to react and couldn't help but applaud.
"I heard that a thunderbolt struck the emperor's bedroom last night. I thought it was just a coincidence!"
"Now it seems... the emperor doesn't care about the lives of ordinary people like us."
"Bending the law for personal gain, shielding the culprit, and treating human life as worthless! Hahahaha..."
"Look! Even Heaven couldn't stand this and sent down His wrath. Hahahaha, Heaven has eyes, Heaven has eyes!"
Someone laughed and roared wildly, and the sound of anger resounded everywhere.
When the people heard the voice, they all looked, but they could not find the person who spoke.
The person who spoke was the one arranged by Zuo Liming.
The purpose is to guide public opinion at critical moments.
"Give me back my child! Give me back my child!"
When reminded of this, the outraged people immediately remembered the previous incident of a criminal being replaced.
They just think that the real culprit who killed their children is still at large.
She might even be hiding in a corner of the palace, still living a life of luxury.
Anger and resentment almost overwhelmed them.
They rushed forward almost regardless of everything!
He threw the things in his hands at the Huang family members regardless of the consequences.
"Revenge! I want to avenge my dear grandson!"
A pair of elderly people in their sixties came staggeringly, one leaning on a cane and the other supporting each other.
Although their eyes became dim and their legs and feet were shaking, they still kept repeating the word "revenge" clearly and persistently.
"My daughter, give me back my daughter! She was so well-behaved and sensible, why did you kill her so cruelly? Why?"
A woman cried and wailed, and fainted again and again in her husband's arms.
Faced with the angry people, some of the emperor's close ministers were forced to flee up and down in a panic.
Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs were all over his face.
"Someone, someone, where are the Royal Guards?!"
"Kill! Kill them all! Kill all those who are lawless, causing trouble, and ignoring the emperor's orders! Kill them all! Kill them all!"
"I want to see if this rabble still dares to act so recklessly in the face of a true life and death situation!"
"Let me see, who is harder, their bones or the weapons in your hands?!"
A senior official beside the emperor was furious and ordered the imperial guards to kill one person to warn the rest and stop the chaos!
Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyao walked straight forward, waved his hands and shouted.
"Soldiers, the swords in our hands are meant to strike the enemy and protect the homes behind us!"
"Instead of targeting the defenseless civilians!"
"Soldiers! Lay down your weapons!"
"If anyone dares to harm the people, I, Jiang Xiaoyao, will be the first to not let him go!"
Jiang Xiaoyao rebuked coldly, his voice as loud as thunder.
His words were like a shot in the arm, calming the originally bewildered Royal Guards.
Those royal guards who were ready to take action against the people threw away their weapons under Jiang Xiaoyao's stern gaze.
More people subconsciously chose to obey Jiang Xiaoyao's words.
This is enough to show how great Jiang Xiaoyao's influence is in everyone's hearts!
"Jiang Xiaoyao, you! You disregard the royal dignity and openly defend this inferior bloodline!"
"Just wait! I will definitely report you to the Emperor!"
The senior doctor was so angry at Jiang Xiaoyao that he was furious. He pointed at Jiang Xiaoyao and cursed him with his hands on his hips.
“Snap, snap!”
Then, before he could curse out any more unpleasant words.
Countless rotten vegetable leaves attacked him. With a "pop", someone threw a rotten egg at him. His face suddenly turned golden, and his whole body emitted a faint sticky fishy smell.
"Ah~ah~ troublemakers, a bunch of troublemakers!"
The senior doctor no longer cared about confronting Jiang Xiaoyao. He immediately ran away in the direction the emperor left.
Thanks to Jiang Xiaoyao's intervention, the originally boiling public anger calmed down under his comfort and command.
They hated the thieves who killed their children and resented the royal family's inaction and fraud.
