Suddenly, everyone's breathing became heavy, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on their foreheads.
At this moment, they were really trembling, their bodies were shaking, this... they had walked into the trap!
Using something that the Empress already has to threaten her is like going to the toilet with a lantern in hand - seeking death!
It seems that this is a huge conspiracy against their nine families!
But all this has a premise.
The empress had books to sell to scholars to appease their resentment.
But where did the empress get enough books to break the deadlock?
Wang Gui and others were puzzled.
Could it be that someone was organized to copy it these days?
Impossible!
First of all, most of the literate people in the entire Great Zhou are in their hands.
With just the few students in Whirlpool Academy, they simply cannot copy enough books to cover the entire Great Zhou.
Secondly, how is it possible that they didn’t receive any news about such a big thing?
Could there be some trick?
Is the Empress just deceiving them to calm the situation down?
But the emperor's promise is as heavy as Mount Tai.
If Da Zhou Bookstore fails to sell books, it will be a devastating blow to her prestige.
Empress Yan Jiaoran is not a fool and would never do something that would only dig her own grave.
Then there is only one explanation.
There was a traitor among them, someone betrayed the alliance and defected to the empress!
But who is it?
Which family is so bold as to become enemies with the noble families of the world? Are they tired of living?
Wang Gui frowned, and the wrinkles on his forehead were like layers of mountains.
His eyebrows raised slightly as he tried to sort out his thoughts in the chaos, but unfortunately he couldn't find a reasonable explanation.
Yan Jiaoran's voice was long and contained an unfathomable meaning.
"Lord Wang, do you have any objections?"
Yan Jiaoran's cold voice suddenly exploded in Wang Gui's ears. Wang Gui shuddered suddenly, beads of sweat the size of beans slid down from his forehead, and the expression on his face kept changing.
It seems that His Majesty is going to make trouble!
Wang Gui secretly gritted his teeth, and with a determined heart, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I have no objection!"
"This move is truly a blessing for the scholars of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"oh?"
Yan Jiaoran's voice flowed slowly, full of elusive meaning, and her face was surprised:
"My dear Lord Wang, your devotion to the country is truly heartening to me."
"Lord Wang, you've been sitting here for two days. I'm sure you're thirsty. Would you like some tea or some imperial food?"
These words are like a gentle breeze and drizzle, neither painful nor itchy, and even make people feel concerned!
But at this moment, Wang Gui heard a murderous intent in his ears, and a chill instantly invaded his heart, which could never be shaken off.
It is obvious that this is a time to settle the score.
The law doesn't punish everyone, so I guess only he, the leader, will be punished...
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Wang Gui squeezed out three words from between his teeth, slowly got up from the ground, and followed Yan Jiaoran's dragon chariot into the palace.
His face was ashen as death. He sat in the palace, waiting, drinking cup after cup of tea, and going to the toilet again and again.
The flowers have all wilted by the time he waited, but he still hasn't waited for the empress to come and punish him.
Wang Gui was stunned for a moment.
What is going on?
You can't really let me into the palace for tea, right?
Where is the empress?
I instigated such a big incident, and she won't cause trouble for me?
Are you coming or not?
Die early and reincarnate early!
Eighteen years later, he is a hero again!
Wang Gui waited impatiently, but the empress did not appear for a long time.
He stood up and walked back and forth several times, but still saw no one coming. He became even more anxious, so he made up his mind and pushed open the door.
Huh?
No guards?
Wang Gui tentatively stuck his head out, and apart from seeing a few palace maids, he did not see anyone monitoring or guarding him.
Are you waiting for me to escape from the crime so that you can punish me with justification?
A thought flashed through Wang Gui's mind.
Women have the most vicious hearts!
Wang Gui couldn't help but spit.
A real man would rather die standing than die kneeling and humbly!
This is the thought.
Wang Gui straightened his clothes, took a deep breath, and prepared to die bravely.
His body was straight, his shoulders slightly back, making him look very tall and straight.
His steps were powerful and rhythmic, and each step landed on the ground with a steady sound.
With a determined look and without any hesitation, he pushed the door open and walked out to enjoy the breeze of freedom.
The breeze blows on his face, his hair and beard flutter, and he looks dignified.
However, he waited for a long time, but the imagined scene of being beheaded by an axe did not happen.
uh-huh?
He took a few more steps.
No one.
A few more steps.
Still no one.
Wang Gui: “???”
Before he knew it, he was almost at the palace gate.
Still no one stopped him.
The guards just watched him swagger out of the palace.
Are you really just inviting me to have some tea?
Is the Empress really not going to pursue the matter?
Am I overthinking it?
It shouldn't be!
Something is wrong!
It's unscientific!
If that's the case, how can I say all the last words I have in my heart!
How can I go down in history and be remembered forever?
Wang Gui was completely confused and had no idea what the empress meant.
Should I just ignore it?
But why did she invite me to have tea alone?
There were so many imperial censors coming to cause trouble, why did they only pick me?
Yan Jiaoran's behavior drove Wang Gui crazy.
It’s no use, I have to run away and ask the Wang family in Taiyuan to send someone else to Jingzhou to be the censor.
