Xiao Xiyou has made his point so clear; if he doesn't understand, then he deserves to die.
Zhou Zhizhi stood to the side and watched, thinking that this method was indeed quite impressive.
"He's that good?"
"The Second Prince is so powerful, does that mean he doesn't need my protection anymore?"
"System, why don't you just let me go?"
Zhou Zhizhi really didn't want to stay here anymore.
Now that the Emperor has woken up, if an investigation is launched, there will naturally be a lot of problems.
After all, I did some rather outrageous things recently.
Although it is a knife in the emperor's hand, serving the emperor is still like walking on thin ice.
Who knows when I might offend the emperor, and then I might not even be able to keep my body intact.
[Host, please put away your little scheme.]
Although the Second Prince is very powerful now, human nature is still unpredictable.
Moreover, the poison has already been administered; even if the Second Prince dies, you won't survive.
When the cold, impersonal system uttered those words, Zhou Zhizhi felt as if a sharp sword had pierced her heart.
pain!
It hurts so much!
She wasn't the original owner of this body and didn't want to avenge her family.
These things have nothing to do with her.
Zhou Zhizhi really just wanted to leave this place of trouble and make more money.
But now I'm trapped everywhere, which is really a headache.
"But look how badly he bullied the Left Vice Minister, and the Vice Minister is a traitor disguised as a loyal subject!"
Zhou Zhizhi was actually a little anxious when she said this.
This Left Vice Minister was bullied by the Second Prince today, and he will definitely be held accountable for this in the future.
This trip was really a huge loss.
[Host, the Second Prince has now decided that you are on his side, and he will absolutely not allow you to be bullied by others.]
Zhou Zhizhi felt a little better after hearing this.
"That's a fair way to put it."
She continued to observe the two people in front of her, feigning politeness.
The Left Vice Minister is now terrified.
He never imagined things would turn out this way.
"My father spoke with me at length today, and it's been quite a while since I last saw Consort Lan?"
What the Second Prince said at the beginning might have been a coincidence.
But what I'm saying now is a direct threat.
The Left Vice Minister was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground again.
"Your Highness, spare my life!"
"This humble official will never dare to do it again!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiyou's previous gentle demeanor vanished.
Their expressions also turned unusually cold.
"You'll never dare to do it again?"
"I think you're quite bold."
Xiao Xiyou didn't intend to continue pretending with him.
"Grand Preceptor, please tell our Left Vice Minister everything you've seen today."
"Tell me exactly what foolish things he did."
When Zhou Zhizhi was suddenly mentioned, she quickly ran over.
"My lord, Consort Lan has been arrested."
Upon hearing this, the Left Vice Minister immediately stood up, but then, as if remembering something, obediently knelt down again.
I was extremely anxious, but no one in the class knew what to say.
Zhou Zhizhi smiled faintly and said, "But don't worry, there's an old saying that goes, 'Turning back is the shore.'"
"If you truly repent, then the Emperor will naturally give you a chance."
What she said was quite pointed.
They've been in officialdom for so many years, after all.
Of course, I understand what this person means.
"Is there anything I can do to help you two?"
After listening, Xiao Xiyou nodded slightly, feeling that the man had finally hit the nail on the head.
It's all just rambling and whining, never getting to the point.
After seeing the Second Prince breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou Zhizhi understood his thoughts.
He feigned a slightly troubled expression and said, "My lord, you may not know this, but we have been investigating this matter thoroughly. In fact, it wasn't just you who was providing support to those two thieves outside."
She was very serious when she said that.
Upon hearing this, the Left Vice Minister's face turned deathly pale, even more frightening than before.
After all, since they were plotting these things together, they naturally knew who those people were.
If I listen to these two people and confess those people, I won't have a good future.
Being caught between a wolf in front and a tiger behind, this is indeed a difficult situation.
Even sacrificing one's own daughter wouldn't be too much, but if all those people were implicated, his official career would be over.
"Your Highness, I truly have no idea."
"If I really knew, I would never have hidden it. This time, I was just thinking of giving my daughter another chance at a better future."
"I never imagined I would do something so foolish. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
"I really don't know anything else, Your Highness."
Xiao Xiyou stared fixedly at the Left Vice Minister.
This person's words and actions are never reliable.
But now he has no say in the matter.
Do you think I can't find out these things?
"We're only asking you about specific individuals right now, and the investigation hasn't been completed yet, which is why we're giving you a chance to redeem yourself."
"Furthermore, I have already investigated and found that you are the least involved in this matter, which is why I chose you. Don't be ungrateful."
He said this in a very cold and indifferent way, as if it were something that you shouldn't do if others are doing it.
Those who don't cherish their opportunities deserve to be executed.
Upon hearing this, the Left Vice Minister's eyes darted around, and he kept clutching the hem of his robe, looking quite anxious.
Moreover, they were very conflicted, after all, this concerned the lives of their entire family.
"If you disagree with this matter, then I will pretend that nothing happened, and you don't need to tell anyone."
"But Vice Minister Zuo, there are some things that I think you need to think about carefully."
"Just because you don't do it doesn't mean others won't. If someone exposes you, you will definitely face the execution of your entire family."
His words were absolutely true.
Conspiring to rebel is an absolute capital offense punishable by death for Zhu Lian and his entire clan.
So if you really don't want to die, you have to think about your own life carefully.
He hesitated for a moment, realizing that what he said did make a lot of sense.
If Xiao Xiyou felt that he was still hesitating, then there was really nothing to say.
If you don't cherish the opportunity you're given, then you deserve to die.
"In that case, I will not disturb you any longer."
After saying that, he got up to leave, but then turned back and said something else.
"I'll treat today's events as a joke; just listen to it and then forget about it."
