She jumped off the emperor's lap.
"They were all evil cultivators who tried to kill me with heavenly lightning, but I sent them to the underworld to meet Yama, the King of Hell."
The ministers: "..."
Wen Zhixuan immediately asked, "And then what happened?"
"Later, we encountered several powerful demons."
Jiang Shumiao stopped wasting words and presented the facts directly.
She pulled the enormous demon bone out of her Qiankun bag; the spine of the Devouring Python alone forced the court officials to move to both sides.
Lu Sui, standing in the front row, stared wide-eyed.
"What...what is this?"
"Demon Bone".
When Jiang Shumiao saw that there was no space, she shrunk the spine of the Devouring Python and threw out the bones of the other demons all at once.
Ordinary people had never seen such a scene before. They were all dumbfounded.
Wen Zhixuan's eyelids twitched.
This child is no ordinary person; he killed an ancient demon without being struck by lightning.
Jiang Shumiao was very satisfied with her results. "Look, these are the ones. They still want to eat me? I'll chop them up and drink the soup later."
How did she manage to say such harsh words in such an innocent tone?
The court officials dared not speak.
Half of them were scared.
Some had guessed as much as they could, and their expressions turned serious.
Emperor Hongde then asked, "If it is an ancient demon, why is it lingering in the mortal realm? Don't the gods care?"
These are the lines we agreed on yesterday.
Jiang Shumiao finally realized what was happening and repeated what she had said last night, "Because they are worshipped, or to be precise, worshipped by several families."
To state the facts and reason, you still need to provide evidence.
With a wave of her hand, she showed everyone the memories she had extracted from the souls of those powerful demons yesterday.
I even split the screen.
How did the Ruan, Xie, and Yu families create a golden statue for a demon in their ancestral home, and how did Ruan Rongping recruit cultivators to plot an ambush on Jiang Shumiao?
The old men had sinister expressions.
"Since the little baby doesn't know what's good for her, then send her to where she should be."
"The Immortal Master Sect has already set up a formation. Let's lure her outside the city before we make our move."
"These ancient demons all possess the ability to traverse mountains and seas. Even if they cannot kill her, they can still alarm the heavens. At that time, the Execution Platform will be her final resting place. Of course, it would be even better if she could be beheaded in the mortal realm. This would prevent the emperor from thinking that he has become arrogant and disregards the noble families just because he has attached himself to a goddess."
The ministers gasped in shock.
Ruan Rongping is incredibly audacious; he even dares to scheme against the gods.
But to his utter surprise, he was killed instead.
No divine retribution came.
Even though Emperor Hongde knew of their scheme, he was still furious after witnessing and hearing it with his own eyes and ears.
Jiang Shumiao also showed everyone the ancestral graves of the Ruan, Xie, and Yu families that had been struck by lightning.
"This is what they call 'evil begets evil.'"
A cold wind, I don't know where it came from, was blowing so hard it made my bones feel cold.
"presumptuous!"
Emperor Hongde was furious.
All the officials knelt down, but dared not plead for mercy.
"deliver an imperial order--"
