"Don't point the gun at yourself! If it goes off accidentally, it will be over!" Lu Jinyue quickly retracted the pistol.
Shen Yunxiao smiled bitterly and nodded to indicate that he had taken note of it.
"Can this also be mass-produced?" Shen Yunxiao looked at the pistol with burning eyes.
Lu Jinyue took out the bullet.
There was a "click" sound, and some mechanism was released, and then a small black square box appeared in Lu Jinyue's hand.
It fits perfectly into the pistol.
There were some objects in there that were the size of an index finger, with pointed ends. They were shapes he had never seen before.
"This is a bullet. It's incredibly difficult to produce. Shen Yunheng's leg was injured by this thing. Once the switch is pressed, this pointy little thing pierces the target at a speed invisible to the naked eye! Being hit like this is incredibly painful!"
Lu Jinyue explained the purpose of the bullets.
Shen Yunxiao took one and held it in his hand, his eyes becoming brighter and brighter.
If the Great Rui Dynasty had this, then the surrounding countries would not dare to invade!
He now has something even more to rely on!
Lu Jinyue didn't know the structure of the pistol, so she didn't dare to agree without permission.
She just said that this thing was made on a whim, and it would take a long time to mass-produce it.
Shen Yunxiao naturally believed it without a doubt.
He thought, he really picked up a huge treasure!
When he came over just now, he also saw Ye Zhixing's body, which looked very tragic.
It seemed as if he had suffered some inhumane treatment before his death.
I’m afraid it wasn’t done by this good queen of his?
"Why don't you ask me how I suddenly got this?" Lu Jinyue was suspicious. She only saw enthusiasm on this guy's face, but no suspicion. This was too suspicious!
"Ayue, I believe in you. I believe in my own judgment even more." Shen Yunxiao hugged her onto his lap and rested his chin on her shoulder.
There was a familiar smell at the tip of his nose, which made his tense nerves relax at once.
Hearing this, Lu Jinyue felt inexplicably warmed in her heart.
This dog emperor shouldn't think of killing her anymore, right?
If Shen Yunxiao knew what she was thinking, he would simply think that she was overthinking.
After cleaning up the mess at the Prince's Mansion, it was already dawn. Shen Yunxiao planned to rest in the inn for two days before returning to the capital.
Lu Jinyue hadn't slept a wink all night, and now she had no mood to talk to Shen Yunxiao, whom she hadn't seen for half a month.
And Shen Yunxiao was also exhausted.
In order to hurry on his way, he slept in the open air and four horses died on the way before he got here.
Now he has black stubble on his chin and a dark patch under his eyes, and it's obvious that he's not getting enough sleep.
The two decided to have a good sleep first.
Lu Jinyue fell into a deep sleep as soon as she touched the pillow. Shen Yunxiao smiled bitterly and only felt at ease when he held her in his arms.
After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
In the capital, when the court ministers arrived at the Golden Palace with sleepy eyes as usual, they seemed to sense something unusual.
After they had performed the kneeling ceremony, they did not hear the sound of anyone standing up for a long time, but instead heard the sound of wheel wheels rolling.
A curious minister looked up slightly and was stunned on the spot!
"The late emperor? Oh my God, it's really the late emperor!" He collapsed on the ground in shock. For a moment, he thought he was dreaming or that he had really seen a ghost.
After all, they all saw the late emperor's funeral.
The other ministers were frightened by his roar and looked up at the dragon throne.
I saw Shen Weitian, dressed in a golden brocade robe, sitting upright in a wheelchair. His appearance was clearly that of the late emperor!
And the eunuch Ma standing next to him also illustrates this point.
That means the late emperor is not dead yet!
If Lu Jinyue were there, she would definitely be shocked. Isn't this the white-haired old man living in the bamboo hut?
The ministers were shocked and frightened, looking at each other. They simply couldn't believe that the late emperor had run out of the imperial mausoleum and sat in the court again.
"My dear ministers, it's me! I'm not dead yet!" Shen Weitian said in a deep voice.
The whispers below suddenly stopped, and some elderly ministers burst into tears.
"Your Majesty! I feel guilty! I was unable to dissuade Your Majesty from taking a concubine! I am truly ashamed!" Censor Xiao was already crying and his words were incoherent.
Shen Weitian didn't care much about things like taking a concubine. After all, he would be having a grandson soon, so there was no rush.
"Lord Xiao, we'll discuss this later." Shen Weitian raised his hand to stop him from speaking. "I'm here because I want to clarify some things and I want to issue an edict."
During the Da Rui Dynasty, the emperor who abdicated and gave way to a wise man could also issue his own decrees.
Upon hearing Shen Weitian's words, all the ministers stood up.
"You may all be wondering why I am safe and sound even though I was clearly already dead. The prince was so cruel. When he wanted to do something wrong, he actually poisoned me!"
As he spoke, he slapped the armrests loudly, which showed how angry he was.
When these words were spoken, the ministers were in an uproar.
How is it possible that the prince poisoned the emperor?
The Crown Prince was virtuous and righteous. When he was first appointed Crown Prince, he implemented many benevolent policies that benefited the country and the people, and he was gentle and friendly to everyone.
How could such a person poison his own father?
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong?" someone questioned.
"I owe my legs to him! If it weren't for Xiaowu, I would have died after being poisoned! Xiaowu is a filial child! I know you have many misunderstandings about him, but you will understand everything when he comes back."
Shen Weitian raised his hand and slammed his knee hard. His face was ferocious, as if he was trying hard to prove something.
But his legs did not bounce up as expected.
Seeing him like this, Eunuch Ma was so sad that he couldn't control himself.
He is the emperor!
Why bother proving yourself in this way?
The ministers finally believed it a little, and many of them who secretly supported the prince's return could not help but break out in cold sweats.
Wasn’t the Fifth Prince, now the Emperor, a cruel and violent person?
He was so disregarding of human life, how could he become a filial son in the mouth of the retired emperor?
There must be some misunderstanding here!
"I'm sitting here because Xiaowu went to capture this unfilial son! This good son of mine not only wants to kill his father, but also wants to pin the blame on Xiaowu! Now he's collaborating with the enemy and treason, trying to ascend the throne with the help of foreigners! This is truly ridiculous!"
"Xiaowu has shouldered too much, I must give him justice!"
Shen Weitian's face was serious and murderous, and he also took out the imperial edict that passed the throne to the fifth prince Shen Yunxiao!
Prove that his ascension to the throne was legitimate and in accordance with God's will!
The ministers experienced such a magical moment early in the morning and were all a little dazed when the court was dismissed.
