Seeing Shangguan Shu's face darken, Lin came out and said, "There must be someone in the Duke's Mansion who is incompatible with the old Duke!"
"First it was Princess Huai'an, and now it's the old Duke..." Lin was terrified and even knelt before Zhao Ying. "I hope Your Highness will have compassion for the people, for Princess Huai'an and the old Duke, and eliminate the demons and monsters!"
Zhao Ying was struck by lightning. She shook her head with tears in her eyes and whispered, "No...my Yue'er is not..."
She looked to Shangguan Shu for help.
Shangguan Shu said in a deep voice, "The princess has long said that if there is an evil spirit, she will lead the charge to eliminate it as soon as possible, but this matter has not yet been finalized! My father is old and it is inevitable that he will be unwell..."
"Uncle, how do you explain today's strange phenomenon?"
Everyone was whispering.
"Yeah, a dead cat, fireworks, and pond water...if this isn't a warning from heaven, what is it?"
Zhao Ying's eyes were red. "That can't be associated with my Yue'er!"
"Xue'er, your aunt treated you well. She even gave you the phoenix hairpin that belonged to the late queen, her most beloved. You knew that Yue'er was my lifeblood, so why did you insist on killing her?"
"Aunt, please forgive me! Xue'er doesn't fear human feelings, she only cares about the word 'reason'!"
Zhao Ying was heartbroken. She had a cold and her face was pale. She could only stand steadily with the help of Shangguan Shu.
"Good! Good! Good! What a great word for 'reason'!"
"But do you have any evidence to prove that Yue'er is a monster? You want to convict Yue'er without any evidence?"
The Crown Princess said coldly, "That's right! Does anyone have evidence to prove that Yue'er is a monster? If so, bring it out!"
Perhaps God couldn't bear it any longer, and Yang suddenly came out holding the dog in her arms. In her hand, she also held a stone seal with a few lines of words faintly engraved on it. Because it had been buried underground for a long time, the words were covered by mud, and only the first four words could be seen [The way of heaven is clear...].
Yang knew that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to look at it privately.
I have no choice but to make it public.
Just say that the dog dug it out of the ground.
When everyone saw the first four words, Cui immediately realized, "Could it be the motto of heaven?"
Everyone was shocked and puzzled. Could it be that God really loved the world and wanted to show mercy to them by pointing out the evildoers?
Zhao Ying's face was completely pale, and he trembled as he asked someone to smash the stone, but unfortunately Huyan Xue was not willing to do so.
She grabbed the stone seal into her arms and said, "Aunt, this is a decree from heaven, you can't smash it!"
"I said smash it, smash it! Madam Li, smash it for me!"
Nanny Li was about to step forward to grab it, but Huyan Xue knew she couldn't save it. She knelt down before Shangguan Shu and said, "Uncle, you have to make the decision for mother!"
"As long as this monster is around, my mother's life is in danger!"
Zhao Ying looked at Shangguan Shu expressionlessly, "Runlang, what do you think?"
Shangguan Shu lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while.
Finally, he said, "Xue'er, give me the seal."
"Uncle!" Huyan Xue seemed to be caught off guard by Shangguan Shu's actions.
Why would he choose that bastard Zhao Ying?
He obviously loves her mother!
Zhao Ying breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she didn't expect Shangguan Shu to choose Yue'er.
After all, he still has some humanity.
While the commotion was going on, suddenly, someone shouted at the door: "The Emperor has arrived!!"
"What? The Emperor is here?"
"Why is the Emperor here?"
"The prince has arrived!"
"The prince is here too?"
Everyone was surprised, but Huyan Xue seemed to have seen a savior.
She ran towards the door holding the seal.
As long as it is presented to His Majesty, Shangguan Qingyue will be finished.
Shangguan Qingyue was executed, and Zhao Ying was not far from death either! !
The Crown Princess shouted, "Stop her!"
Unfortunately it's too late.
Emperor Jianxi moved very quickly.
Anxious to see old friend for the last time.
Emperor Jianxi and the old Duke had a truly deep friendship. When they were young, they went fishing together and climbed trees to catch birds. When they grew up, they fought on the battlefield together and governed the country together.
The two of them agreed to never let each other down and to become wise rulers and loyal ministers whose names would go down in history!
Emperor Jianxi was reviewing memorials in the Yangxin Palace. When he heard that the old Duke was going to die, he burst into tears and hurried out of the palace. He cried all the way and talked to the Crown Prince about their youth while crying. The Crown Prince felt very uncomfortable listening to him.
The two were rushing forward when they were stopped by Huyan Xue.
"I'll present it later if you have something to say!"
"Your Majesty cannot wait!"
After everyone finished paying their respects, Cui and Lin knelt for a long time and kept shouting that they had something to say.
Shangguan Shu had Hu Yanxue pulled away and wanted to take the emperor to see his father.
Zhao Ying walked to the side of Emperor Jianxi, took his arm, and advised, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Eunuch is fine for the time being..."
When Emperor Jianxi heard that his old friend was still alive, his mood eased temporarily.
There was someone in his eyes.
Looking down, isn't this the barbarian girl of Princess Huaian?
"Your Majesty, I have something important to say!"
"Father, let's go see the old Duke first!"
Zhao Ying obviously didn't want the emperor to know. Huyan Xue sneered and handed over the stone seal directly.
By the way, I also told you about today's vision and the reason for discovering the stone seal.
"Your Majesty, please investigate and give my mother justice! And bring peace to the world!"
Zhao Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, "Xue'er, why are you so aggressive?"
Emperor Jianxi understood everything as soon as he heard it. It was this incident again.
As a monarch, he was certainly concerned about the appearance of a demon in the country, but the demon was his own granddaughter...
Emperor Jianxi understood that given the current situation, if he saw the stone seal, Shangguan Qingyue’s life would be in danger.
Emperor Jianxi couldn't help but resent this barbarian woman in his heart. After all, it was their Great Chu's business. Why were you, a foreign barbarian, making such a fuss?
Even if you, the Huns, didn't have these evildoers, wouldn't your country still be destroyed?
