"Give the jade seal you took to play with to our old tutor."
Jiuer pouted, "Dear father, you are so annoying. How did you know that I took the jade seal? I was planning to keep it for cracking walnuts..."
Having said that, he still reluctantly stepped down from the dragon throne, fiddled with his body for a long time, took out the jade seal and slapped it into the hands of the old master who was just a shell, "Humph, here you go."
I don’t know how such a small body could hide so many things.
Chang Sun Jue, who had been kneeling, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes. The jade seal that he had searched all over the palace and royal villas but couldn't find was actually here!
He had been trying to get Emperor Jing's jade seal day and night, and it turned out to be here!
Most of the court officials present breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the imperial seal appear.
However, Changsun Wuji didn't explain much and didn't stay for long.
Jiuer's pair of lively and lovely eyes, like grapes, swirled around the people in the hall, and she immediately turned around and followed him out. After catching up with Changsun Wuji, she stood on tiptoe and tugged at her father's sleeve in front of her, "Dear father, who knows how these people are scolding you in their hearts, or how they are making up stories about you in private."
The man laughed, as if those people were nothing more than ants in his eyes. "I have nothing to fear."
Jiuer nodded in agreement, "There is really no need to explain those things, hum," she said with a cute smile, "They fear and hate you, their dear father, but they can only watch the orthodox monarch they believe is living a life worse than death and becoming a puppet. They themselves live under the pressure of you, their dear father, all the time. It is indeed more interesting to live in fear."
Changsun Wuji glanced at her.
Jiuer looks even cuter when she smiles with her head tilted back.
But after jumping and skipping for a while with Changsun Wuji, he cried out, and fumbled around on his body again, "Dear daddy, I lost something!"
"Dear daddy, please go and do your work first. You don't have to wait for me. I'll go back and look for her. I'll come to find you later!" He returned the same way he came, pretending to look for her along the way with his head down.
As soon as Jiu'er's little figure disappeared, the baby-faced Xiangyang appeared silently, "Master, except for the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace, the people in other palaces have been cleared out and replaced."
Zhang Sun Wuji narrowed his purple eyes slightly under the mask, and said in an unpredictable way, "Oh, the Queen Mother? I will not touch her Ci'an Palace."
Turning his head, "Where is Jing'er?"
"The princess went straight to Ci'an Palace. Master, do you want to go there now?"
The purple eyes under Changsun Wuji's mask were full of deep emotion. "No need. I will go and deal with the chaotic court first."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out. Xiang Yang followed him and replied to another matter, "The Qi Wang garrison camps in the suburbs of the capital, as well as the defenses in the capital, have been controlled by Sunset's message."
"And those courtiers who didn't come today..."
Zhang Sun Wuji said calmly, "They know the current situation better than anyone else."
Xiangyang thought about it and agreed. According to the news from the people who stayed in Dajingjing, almost half of the court officials had been finding various excuses not to attend court in the past half month.
These talents are the backbone of the officials in the Dajing court, and they are also the most cunning and sharp ones.
Most likely, he avoided attending court because he sensed that something big was going to happen recently.
…
Let’s talk about the court here.
Even though Changsun Wuji had been gone for a while, and even though he had not taken any action to deal with anyone except asking the Jinyiwei to cut off Lord Sun's tongue, he even took out the jade seal and gave it to Emperor Jing.
However, the vast majority of people present did not move a step after Changsun Wuji left.
Now they have time to think about why the regent is still alive and whether all this is his conspiracy.
Of course, there was more fear, boundless fear about the days to come and about the Regent himself.
This kind of fear is just like the fear that Zhangsun Wuji brought to everyone inside and outside the court when he massacred the imperial palace more than eight years ago and supported the current Emperor Jing to ascend the throne. The bloody, cruel and unpredictable means of governing the court brought two waves of trembling fear to everyone.
Even more terrifying than that time!
Because now their emperor...
Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw some old conservative ministers still kneeling beside Emperor Jing.
Some of the old ministers who were kneeling beside Emperor Jing finally caught their breath and spoke again tremblingly, "Your Majesty... I am old and have no fear of anything. I..."
Of course, not all conservative old officials are not afraid of anything.
No one else said anything.
The old minister who spoke glanced at them, gritting his teeth in hatred, "What's wrong with you? We have the responsibility to announce Changsun Wuji's crimes to the world!"
Those people avoided his gaze, but their peripheral vision trembled as they looked at the Jinyiwei standing around.
However, there was no extra expression on the Jinyiwei's face. They were cold and weird, like dead bodies.
"You, you guys! Everyone in this world will die! We are all old, are we still afraid of this?! Even if we die, we should let the world know about Changsun Wuji's evil ambitions! We should also make him infamous for thousands of years!"
He suddenly looked at the old master holding the jade seal, who looked like a wooden sculpture, and said in great sorrow, "Master Master, why haven't you said anything for a long time? What's wrong with you? You have always hated these things, hated evil and valued the rules of saints the most. What's wrong with you now?"
"Did Changsun Wuji use some kind of evil magic on you, or use some means to force you? Please say something and express your attitude!"
The court official looked at the old tutor hopefully. The old tutor's lifeless and turbid eyes moved slightly, but there was no ripple at all.
The court official was extremely angry, "Are you also afraid of Changsun Wuji's tyranny?"
"He is not afraid of my biological father, but your Emperor." The court official was getting angry when the sweet and beautiful childish voice of the little girl sounded again.
When the other court officials heard this voice, they suddenly felt a sense of despair.
Why is she back again!
The little girl walked in and glanced at everyone with different expressions. "Old Master, why didn't you tell them that the emperor they respected and supported sent someone to kill you when you resigned and returned home? Just to put the blame on my father for your death? Or was it my father who saved you?"
"Oh, or in other words, killing you, who has always been the most supportive of the so-called orthodox emperor, is just to have another reason to attack my biological father in the future?"
He spread his hands, even more innocently, "Of course, my dear father saved you just to make you live a life worse than death, and to use it in the future, such as at this moment, seeing that your beliefs have been destroyed, and you have to continue to serve your emperor..."
The old master, who had not reacted until now, began to tremble with his lips.
The old conservative officials' heads were buzzing with confusion. After a long while, they spoke with difficulty, "Master Taifu, she said..."
The old tutor was speechless.
Jiuer still smiled and stretched out her tone, "So I said you guys are really - stupid."
