Those families who were unsure remained silent and dared not speak out after hearing the news.
Emperor Wenxuan was the emperor, and they were just ordinary people. How dare they resist?
Perhaps the heavens knew of their grievances, and unexpectedly, "Master Wuchen" appeared. He told them that if they pressed the issue during the sacrificial ceremony, the heavens would hear them and would seek justice for them.
Who was Master Wuchen? He was a god-like figure. Naturally, they believed what he said.
The family that lost their child made a careful plan under the planning of a certain head of the family.
Their first step was to interrogate.
More and more people spoke out, and some of the Royal Guards began to catch them in an attempt to stop them.
Before they could even come over, someone shouted, "Your Majesty, you sent the Imperial Guards to arrest us. Are you feeling guilty? A few days ago, someone saw your guards kidnap our child. Are you planning to kill them to silence them?"
When the people around heard this, their eyes widened.
Emperor Wenxuan on the altar was furious and wanted to kill all these fools who were causing trouble. But if he really attacked them at this time, wouldn't it tell everyone that he was guilty?
Emperor Wenxuan gave a wink to the commander of the Imperial Guards, and all the Imperial Guards immediately withdrew and stopped moving forward.
Emperor Wenxuan said, "Today is a grand sacrificial ceremony, which concerns the fate of the nation and the harvest of next year. Please wait a moment. After the sacrificial ceremony is over, I will definitely resolve your issue."
Emperor Wenxuan's words made many of his ministers feel that he had returned to his former self and become a wise ruler.
But how could those people let him go so easily?
"Your Majesty, although we are not smart people, we do understand one thing: strike while the iron is hot. We only need an answer. Your Majesty, just tell us, and we will never say another word." The man said.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Wenxuan asked patiently. He was already furious and had made up his mind that after this incident, he would tear these people into pieces.
"Ever since my son disappeared, my wife and I haven't been able to sleep. Lately, I've been having nightmares. In my dreams, I see my son engulfed in flames, begging for help in agony. He painfully tells us that you, the Emperor, have murdered him."
When the people around heard it, they just thought it was funny.
It is ridiculous to suspect that it was the emperor just because he had a dream.
When the people around were about to protest, the parents who had lost their children stepped forward.
"We all had the same dream."
"If it hadn't been mentioned accidentally, we wouldn't have believed it was true."
Some couples who were not part of their alliance and had also lost their children all had their expressions changed.
"Husband, they are just like us."
Similar sounds kept ringing around, leaving the people around dumbfounded.
Emperor Wenxuan could no longer maintain a straight face when he saw the crowd below becoming restless and noisy.
Damn it, he only killed a few people and this happened. Why didn't this happen to the father and son of the Bei family who killed countless people?
The princes and ministers below the altar frowned. No one had expected such an incredible thing to happen. It was unprecedented and will never happen again.
The leading man in the crowd said, "Your Majesty, we want you to tell everyone, before heaven and earth, have you ever done such a thing?"
