"presumptuous!"
Feng Changye stared at Zhu Wuhuan with calm eyes!
This audacious woman!
If he couldn't hear her inner voice and knew that she had crushed the teacup herself, would he really have to take the blame today?
"Is it me who is being presumptuous, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Wuhuan had tears in his eyes, but he was fearless in his heart.
After all, she is now the wronged queen whose entire family is about to be executed!
Her entire family is about to be executed. If something happens, she will definitely suspect that the tyrant is going to attack her. This is normal!
It fits the character very well!
With tears in her eyes, she slowly stood up and raised her hands, which were wet from the hot tea, to show Feng Changye.
"If you want to cripple my hands, I will chop them off and give them to you. It is not worth your trouble, Your Majesty!"
She shook her head and choked up, seeming to be crying and laughing.
"Just now in Changle Palace, you asked me to come with you to Taiji Palace. I was so happy..."
"I thought you were going to show leniency to the Zhu family, so I followed you eagerly..."
"I didn't expect that you would not forgive the Zhu family, but instead send me here to be punished!"
She lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.
She controlled her hands and deliberately trembled slightly, "My hands hurt a lot at this moment, but it's far less painful than my heart..."
Looking up at Feng Changye, her beautiful eyes were filled with sadness.
"Your Majesty, since you don't care about the slightest bit of love between husband and wife, why did you let me come to Taiji Palace to bother you? I will just leave..."
Her hands were shaking, and she slowly turned around and walked towards the door with a sad face.
Seeing the once noble queen now looking so sad and desolate, the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the Taiji Hall couldn't help but feel pity.
Poor Queen...
It was her father who betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy. What does it have to do with her?
The emperor shouldn't implicate the queen!
Feng Changye felt the subtle gazes of the palace maids and eunuchs around him, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing!
He glanced at them with a sneer!
A bunch of ignorant and stupid slaves!
Do you think the queen in your eyes is really pitiful?
No, she was almost laughing in her heart now!
He listened carefully and indeed heard Zhu Wuhuan's inner voice again -
[Hahaha system, how would you rate my superb performance just now? Don't be afraid of me getting too proud. If the full score is ten, give me eleven!]
The system is very speechless.
[Host, I advise you to take it easy. Don't be reckless. You must know that you are facing one of the three greatest tyrants in history. His thinking is different from that of ordinary people and he kills without blinking an eye! If you slander him like this and touch his anger, what will you do if he kills you with a knife?]
Zhu Wuhuan's confident soothing system.
[Don't worry, who would believe that a weak woman like me crushed this cup?]
The tyrant would definitely think that the cup was of poor quality and broke when the hot tea hit it.
He would then suspect that the eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Household Department were passing off inferior goods as genuine ones, and that the items sent to the palace were all inferior. He would undoubtedly be furious and order a thorough investigation of the Imperial Household Department.
[Tsk, I remember that when this tyrant was in power, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department seemed to be a distant relative of his mother. He relied on his mother's protection to not only embezzle and abuse power, but also commit a lot of cruel acts.]
[It's better to let him investigate. He won't be wrongly accused anyway.]
When the system heard her say this, it knew that she had a plan in mind, so it stopped talking.
Feng Changye, who also heard her thoughts, changed his expression and the rage in his heart was suppressed in an instant.
He frowned.
Could the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department be corrupt, abuse of power and disregard human life?
What kind of serious crime of killing could have occurred in a mere place responsible for purchasing for the imperial palace? Why would it be specifically recorded in history books and known to people even a thousand years later?
He looked at Zhu Wuhuan's back with deep eyes.
Since this woman has given him an excuse to conduct a thorough investigation of the Imperial Household Department, how could he not take advantage of it?
Considering that she provided some good information, he was magnanimous and did not care about her previous insolence.
"stop."
He put down the red pen in his hand and spoke as she had thought.
"If I wanted to cripple your hands, there are plenty of ways to do it. Why resort to such means? The teacup shattered, it wasn't my fault, it must be the teacup's fault."
He looked at Xiao Yuanzi and asked, "When you took the teacup, did you notice any cracks on it?"
Xiao Yuanzi was also very scared!
After all, if the teacup breaks in the emperor's hands and the hot tea scalds his hand, his head will be in danger!
He fell to his knees with a thud, crying out for justice!
"Your Majesty! I have followed you for many years. You know my character best, and you always praise me for my meticulousness and thoroughness! Over the years, I have double-checked everything I send to you. I would never allow a cracked cup into your Taiji Hall!"
Feng Changye looked down at Xiao Yuanzi, whose face had turned pale with fear, and felt sorry for him.
Xiao Yuanzi also suffered an unexpected disaster in today's incident. It was clearly Zhu Wuhuan's fault. Look how scared Xiao Yuanzi was.
He looked at Zhu Wuhuan indifferently.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Wuhuan had already turned around and was staring at him and Xiao Yuanzi with burning eyes!
When he lowered his head to look at Xiao Yuanzi, the pity in his eyes was fully seen by Zhu Wuhuan. Zhu Wuhuan screamed like a groundhog in his heart -
[Ahhh, system, look! Shi Shucheng isn't lying to me. There's something fishy going on between this tyrant and Xiao Yuanzi! Look, Xiao Yuanzi is trembling with fear, and he's so distressed!]
System: [I don't quite understand the hearts of you rotten girls.]
Feng Changye heard Zhu Wuhuan's inner voice: "..."
At this moment, he is willing to treat the system as a confidant!
Really, the system spoke his mind!
He also didn't quite understand why some women would be so excited to watch two men dating!
The key point is, what signs of ambiguity are there between him and Xiao Yuanzi?
He looked at Zhu Wuhuan deeply, then closed his eyes and tried his luck.
He repeatedly told himself to calm down, to calm down. Once he got angry, that woman would find out that he could hear her inner thoughts.
After this happened several times, he finally calmed down.
He said to Zhu Wuhuan, "Since the shattered teacup has nothing to do with me or Xiao Yuanzi, then it must be someone else."
He said meaningfully, "It must be the work of some idiots who take my salary but do nothing about it!"
“…” Zhu Wuhuan, who broke the teacup, felt as if he was being scolded.
She lowered her head silently and cursed the tyrant.
You are the bastard, your whole family is a bastard!
Feng Changye curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Xiao Yuanzi.
"Xiao Yuanzi, go check and see if those bastards in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have embezzled money and are selling inferior goods as good ones!"
He said slowly.
"It's okay that this teacup shattered in the Queen's hands today. After all, your Queen doesn't care about her hands, casually saying she'd chop them off and give them to me... But my hands are incredibly precious. If this teacup shatters and the boiling water inside scalds them, the entire Imperial Household Department will bring their heads before me!"
