Chapter 172 What is he secretly happy about?

[Host, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it. It will hurt your brain. Anyway, the sickly emperor has asked you to make the decision, so just make the decision according to your own thoughts. ]

The system saw that its host, the queen, was almost confused by thinking

about it, so it spoke. [That's right, who cares why he is doing it? Since he asked me to make the decision, then I will make the decision. ]

"Hehe, since these male concubines are victims, let them go home and let the Zhu family give them corresponding compensation."

The eunuch conveyed this message to the outside of the hall. After hearing this, all the male concubines knelt down and kowtowed to thank him.

"As for Zhu Siyu..."

The woman behind the pearl curtain paused when she said this.

Concubine De clenched her palms, and her drooping eyes were filled with tension.

Zhu Siyu still had no expression on his face.

The dark days since childhood had worn away all his hopes. He had become accustomed to not expecting anything, so this time was no exception.

He did not dare to expect that he could be pardoned and leave the Zhu family like those male favorites, so he could only wait for the verdict numbly.

"Zhu Jin just said that you are not his blood, so you are also a victim of coercion. Then you can choose to leave the Zhu Mansion like them."

Hearing this, Zhu Siyu's numb expression slowly became angry. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at the woman sitting on the dragon chair behind the pearl curtain.

There was still disbelief in his eyes. He was afraid that he was hallucinating.

He opened his mouth to make sure if he had heard correctly, but heard Concubine De say: "Siyu, why don't you thank the queen quickly."

Zhu Siyu came to his senses and kowtowed to Lin You to express his gratitude.

"Minister Zhu, you privately increased taxes and caused the people in the border areas to be hungry and oppressed by the prefects. You took human lives lightly and were extremely corrupt. You also forced young men to be male concubines. The evidence of your crimes is outrageous, and the heavens are angry and the people are angry. According to the laws of our dynasty, you should..."

The woman behind the pearl curtain paused after saying this.

[So many people have lost their lives because of this, especially Qian Zhu's poor and admirable cousin, who is being tortured because of this. If he is only confiscated and exiled, it would be too light, so...]

"He should be beheaded."

The three cold words fell, and Minister Zhu's body shook violently, and tears fell. "My queen, I have already admitted my crime. Please forgive me once!"

"Humph, if I forgive you, who will pay for the lives of those people in Lizhou!" Qian Zhu yelled back.

"Mmmm..."

Zhu Jin's mouth was blocked again.

"Confiscated the Zhu family's property and exiled." Lin You glanced at the ministers in the hall, "Do you have any opinions?" "

Your Majesty, I second the motion."

"Your Majesty second the motion."

No one in the hall objected.

The people on Prince Yu's side saw that Shen Yu had a sullen face all the time and did not say anything, so they could only second the motion in the end.

After all, the evidence provided by Minister Zhu was sufficient, and there was no hope for salvation.

Afterwards, Concubine De's act of sacrificing her own relatives for the sake of justice was praised by some ministers.

However, Concubine De believed that the Zhu family had committed a great sin, so she voluntarily asked for punishment and was sent to Jingxin Palace to kneel and copy scriptures.

Watching the slender figure walk away steadily, Zhu Siyu's eyes were filled with light.

He retracted his gaze and followed the crowd.

The door of the Golden Palace was closed, and it was extremely quiet inside.

Behind the screen, Lin You sat down next to the young emperor who was drinking tea, and asked with her chin in her hand, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with my judgment?"

Shen Jing'an sipped the tea in the cup, put it down, poured another cup and handed it to her, "I let you make the judgment, which means I trust you, so how can I be dissatisfied?"

He had a faint smile on his lips, and he seemed to be in a very good mood. Lin You was stunned.

[Something is wrong, something is wrong. The sickly emperor is so wrong today. He actually smiled and seemed to be secretly happy! What is he secretly happy about?]

[Just because he broke Shen Yu's arm]

Seeing that she had finished her tea, Shen Jing'an held her hand and stood up to go back to Yungan Palace.

"Your Majesty..."

The gorgeous sunlight hit his handsome face, and he looked a lot more angry.

No longer as pale and weak as at the beginning.

But Lin You felt that he was even more pitiful.

[Hey, I want to remind Concubine De, but I don’t know how to remind her. ]

[After all, there is no evidence for this matter, and Concubine De has not crossed the line. If she tells it, will Shen Jingan be furious and kill Concubine De and Zhu Siyu?]

[The two of them are different from Concubine Xian. Although they care deeply about each other, they know that there is a gap that should not be crossed. They love each other sincerely and do not want to hurt the emperor because of this. They just simply want to be together. ]

[I don’t know whether the emperor likes Concubine De. If he doesn’t like her, they can discuss whether they can be let go. 】

【But this is the feudal era, and Shen Jingan is the king of a country, with the most noble status. How could he allow his concubine to run away with other men?】

【How would the civil and military officials and the people of the world look at him?】

【There is already a virtuous concubine, if there is another virtuous concubine, what will happen to his dignity?】

【Although the matter of the virtuous concubine has been announced to the outside world as death due to illness, there will always be a day when it will be leaked.】

【Ah...】

Lin You was confused, but she didn't notice that the handsome emperor holding her hand had a faint smile on his lips.

All her thoughts entered Shen Jingan's mind without missing a word.

This woman... is a little silly.

If he really cared about those virtuous concubines and virtuous concubines, how could he let them contact those men.

How could he have guessed that she would let Zhu Siyu sever ties with the Zhu family and let her make the decision.

Since the moment he ascended the throne, he had never thought of putting his heart on any of his concubines, nor had he thought of consummating marriage with them. He knew his body well, and he would not be able to sit on the throne for long. He did not want to harm those concubines who had no feelings for him.

Moreover, he had planned to abdicate from the beginning, and the person he favored was Shen Yu, but he wanted to wait for another two years to see if Shen Yu was really suitable to sit in this position and be a wise ruler.

However, he did not expect that his third brother, who looked gentle as jade, was actually pretending, and had already made plans to kill the emperor and seize the throne! It

is right to have ambitions, but if he wants to step on the people and women to get to the top, how can he be worthy of this position?

The two people with different thoughts walked hand in hand, and did not notice that there was a floor in front of them that had sunk in. The next second, Lin You's foot tilted, stepped on empty space, and pulled Shen Jing'an forward.

Seeing this, Eunuch Hong and Yan Zhi Daya and others who followed behind wanted to reach out to pull them, but it was too late. Seeing that the two were about to fall, their emperor hugged their queen's waist, turned over, and the queen fell to the ground in his arms.

"Well--"

Shen Jing'an gritted his teeth and let out a dull sound of pain.

The cold and handsome face was originally pale, and after falling, it was all gone.

His throat felt sweet, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his lips.

"Ahem..."

Another cough. "Your

Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

Everyone rushed forward and helped Lin You and their precious and fragile emperor up.

"Quick, the sedan chair!"

Eunuch Hong screamed, and the servants who were carrying the sedan chair behind them rushed over. Before Lin You could react, he was carried on the sedan chair.

Is this a bit of an exaggeration?
