monster?
The words of the Vice Minister of Personnel caused an uproar.
"How could a princess be a demon?"
"The princess is so cute..."
"So, the Vice Minister of Personnel arrested Princess Yuan Yao for the sake of the Great Qi!"
"..."
Yuan Yao was so angry at being suddenly accused that she laughed.
This Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, after all, has lived for decades, yet he is so ignorant, stupid, and wicked!
If we have more of these useless people, it's not impossible for the Great Qi to be destroyed.
People like this should step down as soon as possible and stop causing harm to the people!
Yuan Yao brushed aside the hair ribbon that was pressed against her face, turned her head and asked, "Father, what is a demon?"
"A demon?" The Ninth Prince picked up his teacup, took a sip, and replied, "Probably someone like Consort Ruan."
The Vice Minister of Personnel was so angry he almost vomited blood: "Your Majesty! You can't speak recklessly!"
Although Consort Ruan never rose to the rank of Imperial Concubine, her enduring favor brought unparalleled glory to the Ruan family. But now, because of her, the Ruan family is under investigation and is on the verge of being executed along with their entire family...
Isn't this kind of person a demonic being?
Yuan Yao turned her head and looked down from the high platform, saying in a childish voice, "So, the Vice Minister had me captured just because you suspect that Yao'er is a demon?"
The Vice Minister of Personnel clenched his fist and declared loudly, "As an official of the Great Qi, everything I do is for the Great Qi, for His Majesty, and for the people!"
"Ah..." Yuan Yao exclaimed in her childish voice, "Daddy, listen, it really is him who caught Yao'er!"
"you……"
The Vice Minister of Personnel nearly coughed up blood again.
He knew that the daughter of that treacherous official, the Ninth Prince, was no better than him.
At such a young age, he already knows how to set traps for people!
As the Vice Minister of Personnel let slip, the people below the stage were no longer calm—
"The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has admitted it!"
"He admitted that he was the one who had Yuan Yao arrested!"
"What should we do?"
"..."
Originally, some people thought that the Ninth Prince was using the opportunity to eliminate the Ruan family by bringing them out...
Unexpectedly, it was the Ruan family who brought this upon themselves!
The Ninth Prince straightened his sleeves and said with little interest, "Let's remove that teacher's mask."
Beside him, a young eunuch descended the steps, walked up to the fake teacher, touched the fake teacher's ear twice, and raised his hand.
A thin human skin mask swayed in the little eunuch's hand.
"hiss……"
A collective gasp rippled through the audience.
The person on the stage... that face, isn't that the steward of the Marquis of Dingjun's mansion?
Even the usually silent dean of the Academy of Chinese Studies was shocked.
The Marquis of Dingjun's residence, formerly known as the General of Dingjun's residence, controlled the troops of the Great Qi. Later, a concubine emerged from the General's residence, and she gave birth to the eldest prince.
Later, the old general relinquished his military power and was granted the title of Marquis of Dingjun. Shortly afterward, the eldest son of the emperor was made crown prince.
Because of his connection with the Crown Prince, the Marquis of Dingjun's mansion was incredibly prestigious. The mansion's steward had even been received by the Emperor, and everyone who had ever visited the mansion knew him!
The Dean of the National Academy remained silent for a long time before bowing to the composed Ninth Prince: "Your Highness, I'm afraid this matter must be handled with utmost care."
Should we handle this with caution?
The Ninth Prince scoffed and said to the little eunuch, "Uncover it again!"
The dean was taken aback: "What does 'Your Excellency' mean...?"
The young eunuch searched behind the fake teacher's neck again.
This time, the young eunuch knelt down and shook his head.
The Ninth Prince stared at the fake teacher for a moment, then stood up, closed his folding fan, and slowly walked down the steps.
Yuan Yao then saw the Ninth Prince walk up to the fake teacher, lift the fake teacher's chin with his fan, and examine him from left to right.
Suddenly, he moved his fan.
The fake scholar's collar immediately came undone.
With a flick of his long, slender fingers, the Nine Thousand Years Old Master hooked the fan twice on the fake Master's collarbone, and with a twist of his fingers, he peeled off a layer of skin.
Another layer of fake skin!
This time, the fake teacher finally revealed his true colors.
He had dark skin, a scar on his forehead, and a fierce appearance.
A child pointed at him and said, "I've seen this person before. Once, the teacher assigned a lot of lessons, and school ended late. I left late and saw Ruan Peng climbing onto the carriage he was driving..."
Ruan Peng was a young master from a collateral branch of the Ruan family.
Upon seeing that face on the stage, he collapsed to the ground.
This coachman was just one of the many guards employed by the Ruan family.
Catching the train that day was purely accidental.
His coachman was unwell that day, and since it was getting late, his father was worried about his safety, so he temporarily sent this skilled guard over...
Who would have thought that his appearance that day would bring ruin to the entire Ruan family today!
With witnesses and physical evidence present, the Ruan family's fate is sealed.
The Vice Minister of Personnel looked up at the high platform and utterly loathed the father and daughter.
The Ruan family had enjoyed great success for many years, but who would have thought that they would be defeated by a eunuch and a three-year-old child?
The Ninth Prince opened his folding fan, applied a lipstick-red lipstick to his thin lips, and gently closed it: "At this time, the evidence of the Ruan family's crimes should have been delivered to the Emperor."
"Guards, seize the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and with my warrant, confiscate the property of the Ruan family!"
In an instant, all the Imperial Guards who had been waiting were mobilized.
All members of the Ruan family present, regardless of age, were arrested.
The Vice Minister of Personnel, his clothes torn and his hair disheveled, struggled to shout at the Ninth Prince, "Yuan Yuan, all the wrongdoings committed by the Ruan family were done by me alone! I, Ruan Changlin, dare to take responsibility for my actions! Spare the rest of the Ruan family! Spare the children of the Ruan family!"
The Ninth Prince looked at him sarcastically: "Your Excellency has been an official for many years. Although you are a bit stupid, you should know the principle of eliminating the root of the problem, right?"
Your Ruan family has committed countless evils, and now you still expect me to give you leeway so you can make a comeback?
Upon hearing this, the Vice Minister of Personnel said in despair, "Yuan Yuan, do you really intend to exterminate them all?"
The Ninth Prince didn't even raise an eyebrow: "You should ask His Majesty about that, Vice Minister."
Ask the Emperor?
Who in the world doesn't know that the Great Qi Kingdom is ruled by the Ninth Prince? What say does the Emperor have?
Their emperor was always represented by the Nine Thousand Years Old in the morning court sessions, and only appeared once a month during the grand court assembly.
Over the years, the people have only known that the Great Qi Dynasty has a reign of nine thousand years, but they do not know the emperor...
The Vice Minister of Personnel lost heart and gave up the struggle.
Nearby, the children surnamed Ruan, surrounded by the Imperial Guards, were all terrified and burst into tears.
Upon seeing this, the head eunuch beside the Ninth Prince shrieked, "Silence!"
If we keep arguing, we'll annoy the Ninth Prince, and he'll only die faster.
Immediately, everyone covered their mouths, staring in horror at the platform above.
Suddenly, the Ninth Prince opened his folding fan, the handle spun a few times between his fingers, and then suddenly slipped from his hand, flying towards the guard from the Ruan family who was posing as a teacher.
"puff……"
Blood splattered everywhere.
The guard's eyes widened in disbelief as he died.
Several students in the audience fainted from fright.
Yuan Yao immediately looked away, but her heart was still pounding with fear.
Murder!
Her father, the Ninth Prince, was indeed as rumored—ruthless and merciless, killing without blinking an eye!
And this is just the beginning...
