Hai Lan lowered her head and froze, thinking she had misheard. When she raised her head, she saw the woman on the dragon throne with a stern expression.
Xie Hailan's heart skipped a beat, as if he had fallen into an abyss.
The next second, Xie Shizhu raised the corners of his lips, his voice lazy and cold: "Before, you poisoned me, and I haven't had time to punish you yet, and now you have been charged with another crime."
The woman stretched her limbs slightly, and continued with a half-smile, "Today is the day you will be beheaded. Also, your name and your entire clan will pay for your crimes."
Xie Hailan was scared now.
The officials around her all distanced themselves from her and tried to avoid her.
No one would say a word to help her.
Xie Hailan's voice trembled slightly as he asked, "What do you mean?"
Xie Shizhu raised his eyebrows frivolously: "From now on, your names will no longer be in the imperial family. I will remove you, your father, and your mother from the imperial family."
As soon as the words fell, Xie Hailan's body softened and he collapsed to the ground. He said in disbelief, "Xie Shizhu, don't go too far."
Too much?
Xie Shizhu shrugged and said in a relaxed tone, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place. Take him away and execute him."
Immediately, Xie Shizhu wrote the imperial edict and handed it to Ming Ruzhen.
When Ming Ruzhen read out that King Zhou's family no longer belonged to the royal family and that Xie Hailan was guilty of beheading today, Xie Hailan's eyes turned black and he almost fainted from anger.
After Ming Ruzhen finished reading, he looked down at Xie Hailan and said coldly, "You won't accept the imperial edict?"
Xie Hailan gritted his teeth and never took the imperial edict.
But that's no use.
Four guards stepped forward and grabbed the dying Xie Hailan.
Just as he was about to take Xie Hailan away, Xie Shizhu suddenly said, "Wait a minute."
The guards obeyed her and stopped.
The officials were very confused about what Xie Shizhu meant.
Xie Shizhu came down from the dragon throne, passed by Xie Ji, winked at him lightly, and then walked to the woman who was escorted by the guards.
She squatted down, pinched Xie Hailan's chin with one hand, and put her red lips close to her ear.
In a voice that only the two of them could hear, he said, "I'll tell you a secret. I was actually the one who killed the King of Day."
Xie Hailan's pupils shrank and he suddenly struggled in the hands of the guards.
She seemed to have been hit hard, and she cried out heartbreakingly, "Xie Shizhu, you bitch, I'm going to kill you!"
Xie Shizhu looked at her struggling to no avail and smiled sweetly.
Xie Hailan couldn't breathe, staring at the innocent face in front of him, but found that Xie Shizhu had a vicious mind and was more terrifying than anyone else.
Her fight with Xie Shizhu was just like hitting a rock with an egg.
Xie Shizhu's voice was particularly pleasant as he said, "If you don't take her away, she'll even threaten to kill me."
The guards did not dare to slack off and directly dragged Xie Hailan away.
Xie Hailan's hoarse voice became farther and farther away until it could no longer be heard.
She seemed to be saying, "Xie Shizhu killed my father. She is the assassin..."
Even though she spoke loudly and all the court officials heard her, no one took her seriously.
Xie Shizhu returned to the dragon throne slowly, and as soon as he sat down, the remaining malicious value was reduced to zero.
The system was still slacking off when it suddenly woke up when it saw the malicious value was only zero.
It said in disbelief: [Host, how did you do it? ]
Xie Shizhu pondered and said, "I made the right bet this time."
The system is scratching its head.
Xie Shizhu waved his hand, dismissing all the officials. He remained on the dragon throne and said slowly, "It seems that I was stolen by King Zhou. It was he who made me come to the Moon Kingdom and become a pawn. He also made me suffer a lot."
The system was stunned for a moment, then reacted: [So, this is the person the original owner truly hates.]
Xie Shizhu nodded: "If he hadn't stolen me away, perhaps I would have been like Fan Zhi, enjoying the love of my father and mother, becoming a carefree princess who grew up in a greenhouse."
The system also understood that it was Xie Shizhu's words to Xie Hailan just now, "I killed your father", and the removal of their names from the royal family, that were the real reasons for clearing the malicious value.
The system asked again in confusion: [Didn't the late emperor poison you as an experiment? Why is it the King of Day?]
Xie Shizhu looked at the spacious and bright palace, and the servants around her who were busy and looking at her respectfully.
She laughed mockingly, "If I'm not mistaken, the late emperor and Prince Zhou were close friends at first. They worked together to kill the retired emperor, but they didn't expect the late emperor to rebel and seize the throne."
After listening, the system sighed: [This person is really complicated.]
Xie Shizhu also echoed: "Isn't it."
Who doesn’t want this position above everyone else?
He could kill his own father and betray his best friend for the throne.
Tsk.
*
After Xie Shizhu left the court, several guards who had led the water returned and immediately saluted her when they saw her.
When the guard saw Xie Shizhu, his eyes were filled with admiration. He said, "Your Majesty, the water diversion project has been completed."
Xie Shizhu smiled softly and said to Ming Ruzhen beside him, "Reward them."
The guard quickly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, the assassin who killed my best friend yesterday came to me personally and apologized. He said it was your request and that you helped me find the murderer. I thank you to my dear friend who has passed away."
After saying this, the guard kowtowed to her several times.
The other guards followed suit.
The guards thought that the matter would be fruitless, but they did not expect that when the water diversion was finally completed, the assassin came in person, kowtowed and apologized.
