"Your Majesty, it was your daughter-in-law who ordered you to get the jade seal and the tiger talisman." Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice.
"You ordered them to do it, you ordered them to do it?" Prince Ding blinked, then laughed, "You don't have to bear the crime of protecting this brat. How can a girl like you order the secret guards of Prince Ding's palace? It must be him!" He pointed at He Jingheng and shouted, "Don't think that you have become powerful now that you have married a concubine. Send the things back quickly, or Old Riku will beat you to death!"
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Shang Ruoyi had no choice but to make a gesture to Yunqi.
Seeing that there was no hesitation in Yunqi's eyes, he directly placed an unsheathed dagger across the body of Prince Ding.
He wanted to curse, but he took back the words immediately.
He stared at Yunqi: "Are you crazy? You don't even recognize me?"
"He just wanted to tell the prince that he could order the secret guards in this mansion around."
Seeing this, Prince Ding bit his tongue and said angrily, "I know, get out of here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yunqi did not move at all, and the dagger in his hand did not move at all. He did not withdraw the dagger until Shang Ruoyi nodded: "My lord, I am sorry."
"You bastard, I'll chop you up!"
"King." Shang Ruoyi stepped forward and whispered, "King, Yunqi is your secret guard, you can't touch him."
He Yuwen was so angry that he almost flew up, staring at He Jingheng and said, "You don't even care about your own wife?"
He Jingheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "I am no match for her now, so naturally I can't control her."
"What?" He Yuwen looked at Shang Ruoyi in surprise: "She has such thin arms and legs, you can't beat her?"
He Jingheng shrugged: "Last time at the training ground, I lost to her three thousand Iron Feather Guards."
He Yuwen finally took his daughter-in-law Qi Zi � seriously.
He sat on the chair and said in a deep voice, "You just said that you asked the secret guards to take back the jade seal and the tiger talisman?"
Shang Ruoyi nodded: "It's my daughter-in-law."
"Why? For that sinful decree?"
"You are here for this crime edict?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "Why would the prince use the word 'you'?"
Shang Ruoyi didn't even call him Prince 꿵 anymore, and just called him Prince.
He Yuwen frowned.
"Foolish loyalty."
"How dare you!" He Yuwen said angrily, "Don't think that just because you saved my life, you can be so rude."
"Yes, you are still dignified when facing the life-saving grace, but you are so soft-hearted when treating the person you have saved countless times and protected with your life."
He Yuwen was stunned for a moment.
"Because he is the emperor, he is treated differently from others?" Shang Ruoyi's face was cold: "If he is a wise monarch, the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is another matter. But what is the reality? Tens of thousands of soldiers died in Qijingguan because of his suspicion and frame-up. Has the prince ever thought about their families behind them? The prince may empathize with their pain? He trusted petty treacherous people, killed loyal and virtuous ministers, and exiled the Dingguo Palace. In order to concentrate all the power in his own hands, he killed the generals under the original palace, causing the border to be lost and the people to be displaced. Can the prince turn a blind eye to all this?" She stood there, her eyes full of coldness: "Prince, is the Dingguo Palace a safe haven for the people of Tianshun, or a protective umbrella for that tyrant?"
Her rapid-fire words left He Yuwen stunned.
After a while, he turned to He Jingheng and said, "Who did you marry, your wife or the imperial censor? How can you be so talkative?"
He Jingheng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Your Majesty, you should not let her hold any handle on you. I think she is even more powerful than that censor."
He Yuwen looked at her and whispered, "Do you know what the crime edict means?"
"Admit your mistakes." Shang Ruoyi sneered: "The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Why can't you take a good look at yourself when you are judging the people? Ordinary people must pay with their lives if they kill one person. How many people did he kill? According to the law, what punishment would be better? Is it torn apart by a chariot? Or to burn with fire, or to slow slicing? Or to kill all nine clans!" Shang Ruoyi's words made He Yuwen stand up from his chair. He moved his mouth for a while, pointed at her and said, "Kid, why do you want to kill all nine clans? We are also among the nine clans, do you know?"
When Shang Ruoyi saw him like this, she knew that he had compromised.
"Your Majesty, who is not a saint and sage without faults? It is the greatest virtue to be able to correct one's faults. Let him issue a decree of punishment to comfort the souls of those who died tragically and restore the reputation of Prince Ding's Palace. It is already a bargain for him without cutting his flesh."
He Yuwen sighed: "I really don't know how Shang 뎃 could raise a daughter as righteous as you."
"What does it have to do with him?" Shang Ruoyi rolled her eyes: "With his character, he can't come up with anything good."
"puff······"
He Yuwen couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
This daughter-in-law of mine really dares to say anything!
"What are your plans next?"
"Let's wait until he issues an edict of guilt!"
At this time, in the imperial study, Emperor Tianshun had smashed everything that could be smashed.
"Rebellion! Rebellion!" How dare they come to the palace to steal things! It's really the opposite!
"Your Majesty, calm down. The Concubine Shu is here."
"Get out! Everyone, get out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Concubine Shu coming in.
"You all go down first!" Shufei said in a low voice.
After everyone left, Concubine Shu walked to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Didn't I ask you to leave?"
"It's been a long time since I last saw Your Majesty. I also heard that you were not feeling well today, so I personally made some chicken soup before dawn. Would you like to try it?"
He was in no mood to drink chicken soup. He glanced at the soup and said, "I don't want to eat it."
"I remember you told me earlier that the late emperor made several western tours to appease the people and lived and ate with the people. The emperors of other countries laughed at this for a long time, thinking that the late emperor's actions were unworthy of the emperor. But in the end, among all the countries, only Tianshun became the leader, the country became rich and the people became strong, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment."
"What do you want to say?"
Concubine Shu knelt on the bed and said, "I beg you to follow the example of the late emperor and not worry about the gains and losses of your status for a while."
"Are you here to persuade me to issue a criminal edict?" He looked at Concubine Shu and overturned the tray: "Even you are disobeying me!"
"Your Majesty, I am ready to be executed, but there are some things I must say." She raised her head and said calmly, "Don't let the people of the world feel cold!"
"Get out! Get out! Get out of here!" He slapped Concubine Shu in the face and said angrily, "Get out immediately, or I will be unable to resist and want to kill you."
