Emperor Wenxuan's expression was as ugly as it could be.
He is the emperor who is high above everyone else. When would he allow these unruly people to question him?
We should have let the Royal Guards take all these troublemakers away just now, but it's too late to regret.
However, they really thought he would answer truthfully to such ridiculous questions.
Emperor Wenxuan's face turned stern, and he said in a solemn and majestic tone, "Today, I can declare before the people of the world and before the heavens that I have never done anything so harmful to heaven and earth. If I have done so, I am willing to accept the punishment of heaven."
Emperor Wenxuan spoke with such confidence and mentioned such punishment, which was enough to make the ministers and many people below believe his words.
It is extremely rare for an emperor to dare to say such words.
His sincerity convinced the people below.
Emperor Wenxuan felt much more relieved when he heard that the people below no longer questioned him. However, as soon as his eyes fell on those who were causing trouble, he became furious.
"Our emperor is wise." Some fawning ministers knelt down and saluted.
Naturally, others followed suit, and in a blink of an eye, all the common people knelt down and shouted.
"Our Emperor is wise."
Emperor Wenxuan on the altar heard the deafening cheers of the people and a look of joy appeared on his face.
"Stand up."
Everyone stood up in a hurry.
The sacrificial ceremony continued. Emperor Wenxuan gave the commander of the imperial guards a look, and he immediately understood and began to secretly dispatch people to capture those troublemakers. However, when they arrived, those people had already left the crowd and disappeared without a trace.
Emperor Wenxuan recited the sacrificial words piously. Halfway through, dark clouds slowly gathered in the sky. The dark clouds kept growing bigger, and in a blink of an eye, the altar below was completely covered by the dark clouds.
The sky was clear and cloudless except for a dark cloud that appeared above the high altar. This strange sight surprised everyone.
Emperor Wenxuan felt that everything was going wrong today, even the weather was against him.
Under the altar, Gu Hanyu was shocked when he saw this scene.
How did she do it?!
Lightning flashed across the black cloud, accompanied by bursts of thunder.
Emperor Wenxuan's face was gloomy. He looked up at the dark cloud above his head, his heart trembling slightly, and he had already decided to leave.
At this moment, someone in the crowd spoke up, "Your Majesty, did you just tell a lie, and that's why Heaven is punishing you?"
Once these words were spoken, people began to believe them. It was really such a coincidence.
As soon as he finished speaking, dark clouds gathered over the sky, telling the world that Emperor Wenxuan had lied.
Emperor Wenxuan looked very unhappy, especially when he heard the discussions of the people below, his face looked even uglier.
He had originally planned to leave, but the current situation forced him to stay here. He just didn't believe that the thunder could fall.
"Boom boom"...
The thunder became louder and louder, and lightning kept appearing in the clouds, like a silver dragon tumbling in the clouds.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck, splitting the altar in front of Emperor Wenxuan, causing the eunuchs on the altar to scream. Emperor Wenxuan was also terrified. Faced with the threat of death, he no longer cared about anything else and turned and left.
As they reached the steps under the escort of eunuchs and guards, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed accurately on Emperor Wenxuan. None of the eunuchs and guards closest to him were injured, but Emperor Wenxuan was struck by lightning.
