"You probably haven't forgotten that I am the emperor of this Great Cheng."
"I decide who becomes the Empress of Dacheng. This is merely my family matter; what does it have to do with you?"
"If you get up now, I promise I won't hold it against you. But if you continue to use this to pressure me, then don't blame me for disregarding the relationship between ruler and subject."
After Shen Hechuan finished speaking, the ministers on the ground remained kneeling.
Jiang Chongfan raised his head and continued, "Your Majesty, this matter is of utmost importance. It concerns the future of our Great Cheng and is a matter of state. You absolutely cannot act impulsively!"
"We implore Your Majesty with our lives, please reconsider!"
After Jiang Chongfan finished speaking, all the ministers shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Shen Hechuan looked at the ministers below, nodding repeatedly and saying "good" several times.
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
"You guys are really great!"
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being impolite."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he walked directly to the side and quickly drew the longsword from the side.
Instantly, all the ministers in the room were in an uproar.
To draw one's sword in the imperial court is a grave taboo.
This has been extremely rare throughout history.
Grand Tutor Wang also looked up in surprise.
"Your Majesty, this matter can be discussed further. You must not act rashly!"
Shen Hechuan looked at the kneeling Grand Tutor Wang, then at Luo Kejin kneeling on the ground, his eyes filled with disappointment.
"Grand Tutor, Minister Luo, even you..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Kejin quickly offered an explanation.
"Your Majesty, the reason I advise you is not to cancel the wedding, but to urge you to reconsider and not fall into the trap of certain people with ulterior motives."
After he finished speaking, Old Master Wang nodded in agreement.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please reconsider!"
Shen Hechuan, however, gave a cold snort.
"Think it over?"
"What do I want to think about?"
"How did you manage to manipulate me step by step?"
"How did you manage to commit such insubordination?"
"Since you won't listen to what I say, then you might as well not listen to it at all."
"I'd like to see whether your words are tougher or my sword is tougher!"
Shen Hechuan slowly walked down.
His eyes held an unprecedented ruthlessness, making the ministers present feel uneasy.
Jiang Chongfan looked at Shen Hechuan, and even though he was trying hard to hold back, he still nervously swallowed.
He watched as Shen Hechuan walked up to him.
He could no longer hold back and spoke in a trembling voice.
"His Majesty……"
"His Majesty!"
At the same time, the Empress Dowager's voice also came over.
The Empress Dowager walked over quickly, staring at Shen Hechuan, trying her best to keep her tone calm.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you. Please, ministers, withdraw first, shall I?"
As the Empress Dowager spoke, she gestured to him with her eyes.
Shen Hechuan looked at the Empress Dowager's expression, then nodded and ordered the court to adjourn.
Upon hearing this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, immediately scrambled to their feet, and fled as quickly as they could.
After this incident, the ministers realized that Shen Hechuan's temper was not as good as it seemed.
Once enraged, he is even more terrifying than the late emperor.
After the ministers left, Shen Hechuan looked at the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager was still shaken by what had just happened and knew that there was no point in saying anything more at this point.
Therefore, he gestured towards the doorway.
Almost simultaneously, Tianji rushed in.
*******
And in Wanchunlou before that.
Gu Jingchun led Lanxin inside, and a waiter led them directly to a private room.
"Miss Gu, please."
When the waiter saw that it was Gu Jingchun, he served him with extra enthusiasm.
"This is this year's new tea. Would you like to try it and see how it tastes?"
"Okay, thank you."
Gu Jingchun nodded with a smile.
When the waiter saw this, he felt as if he had fallen into a fog, and was momentarily dizzy.
"I...I'm just outside. You can call me if you need anything, young lady."
"Okay, thank you for your help, sir."
The waiter walked out with a delighted expression.
Gu Jingchun stood by the window, quietly watching the scenery outside.
An hour ago, Gu Jingchun received a letter.
The letter was simple: it asked Gu Jingchun to come here for a meeting.
He will tell her the truth about her biological parents back then.
Normally, Gu Jingchun would have been more cautious, but she noticed the handwriting on the letter.
It was his master, Guan Zhixin.
Moreover, since he was able to deliver this letter to her, he must have been very familiar with her whereabouts.
Since he has been hiding in the shadows, why not take this opportunity to find out the whole truth?
It's better than being in such a passive situation.
That's why Gu Jingchun came.
However, she sat there for a long time, but the person she was waiting for did not come.
Time passed by little by little.
Just as Gu Jingchun was losing patience, an arrow suddenly shot in through the window and embedded itself in the wall.
And this arrow was marked with a new location.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jingchun stood up and immediately rushed over.
However, Lanxin was filled with worry.
"Miss, is it really a good idea for us to go over there so rashly?"
"just in case……"
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
"Don't worry, they won't hurt me unless something unexpected happens."
Given how things have developed, Gu Jingchun already had some guesses in his mind.
