Chapter 442: Death as a Persuasion
"Don't you forget that I am the emperor of this great country."
"I have the final say on who will become the Queen of Dacheng. This is just my family affair. What does it have to do with you?"
"If you stand up now, I promise I won't argue with you. But if you still force me, don't blame me for not considering the relationship between the monarch and his subjects."
Shen Hechuan finished speaking, but the ministers on the ground were still kneeling.
Jiang Chongfan raised his head and continued, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. It concerns the future of our Dacheng and is a matter of state. You must not act on impulse!"
"We are here to advise you at the risk of our lives. Please reconsider, Your Majesty!"
After Jiang Chongfan finished speaking, all the ministers followed suit and shouted.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Chen Hechuan looked at the ministers below, nodded continuously, and said several good words in a row.
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
"You guys are really great!"
"In that case, don't blame me for being rude."
As Shen Hechuan spoke, he walked to the side and quickly drew out the long sword beside him.
In an instant, all the ministers in the audience were in an uproar.
Drawing swords in the court is a big taboo.
It has been rare since ancient times.
Old Master Wang also looked up in surprise.
"Your Majesty, this matter can be considered in the long run. You must not act impulsively!"
Chen Hechuan looked at the kneeling Old Master Wang, then looked at Luo Kejin who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Grand Master, Minister Luo, even you..."
Upon hearing this, Luo Kejin quickly began to explain.
"Your Majesty, the reason I'm advising you is not to cancel the wedding, but to urge you to consider this and avoid falling into the evil schemes of those with ulterior motives."
After saying this, Old Master Wang also nodded.
"Yes, Your Majesty, please think twice!"
But Shen Hechuan snorted coldly.
"Think twice?"
"What should I think about?"
"Think about how you guys manipulated me step by step?"
"How did you commit the crime of insubordination?"
"Since you don't listen to what I say, then simply don't listen."
"I want to see, who is harder, your words or my sword!"
Chen Hechuan walked down slowly.
There was an unprecedented cruelty in his eyes, which made the ministers present feel uneasy.
Jiang Chongfan looked at Chen Hechuan, and even though he was trying hard to hold it back, he still swallowed nervously.
Seeing that Shen Hechuan had already walked in front of him.
He couldn't hold it in any longer and spoke in a trembling voice.
"His Majesty……"
"His Majesty!"
At the same time, the Queen Mother's voice was heard.
The Queen Mother walked over quickly, staring at Shen Hechuan, trying to make her tone calm.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you. Could you please withdraw first, ministers?"
The Queen Mother said this while signaling him with her eyes.
Chen Hechuan looked at the empress dowager's expression, then nodded and ordered the court to be adjourned.
When the ministers heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, immediately got up and left like the wind.
After this incident, the ministers also fully understood that Shen Hechuan’s temper was not as good as it seemed.
Once he gets angry, he is even more terrifying than the previous emperor.
Only after the ministers left did Shen Hechuan look at the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother was still in shock over what had just happened, and she knew that no matter how much she said, it would be useless.
So, he pointed in the direction of the door.
Almost at the same time, Tianji rushed in.
*******
And before that, in Wanchun Tower.
Gu Jingchun brought Lan Xin in and was led directly to the private room by the waiter.
"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. How does it taste?"
"Okay, thank you."
Gu Jingchun nodded with a smile.
When the waiter saw this, he felt as if he was in a fog and was dizzy for a moment.
"I... the little one... is just outside. If you need anything, you can call me."
"Okay, thank you for your help, bro."
The waiter walked out with a happy look on his face.
Gu Jingchun stood by the window, quietly looking at the scenery outside.
An hour ago, Gu Jingchun received a letter.
The content of the letter was very simple, just asking Gu Jingchun to come here to meet.
And he will tell her the truth about her biological parents.
Under normal circumstances, Gu Jingchun would certainly be more cautious, but she could see the handwriting on the letter.
It was his own master Guan Zhixin.
Moreover, since he was able to deliver this letter to her, he must know her whereabouts very well.
Since he has been hiding in the dark, he might as well take this opportunity to find out all the truth.
It's better than being so passive.
Because that's why Gu Jingchun came here.
However, she sat here for a long time, but the person she was waiting for did not come.
Watching time pass by little by little.
Just as Gu Jingchun was gradually losing his patience, an arrow suddenly shot in from the window and hit the wall.
And on this arrow, a new location is marked.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun stood up and rushed over immediately.
However, Lan Xin was full of worries.
"Miss, is it really okay for us to rush over like this?"
"just in case……"
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
"Don't worry, they won't hurt me unless something unexpected happens."
Things have come to this point, and Gu Jingchun already has some guesses in his mind.
Today, it is also to verify what she thinks in her heart.
Therefore, Gu Jingchun quickly followed the instructions and went to a dilapidated temple outside the city.
And the moment Gu Jingchun left the city, her message had already reached Shen Hechuan.
"Why would she leave the city at this hour?"
Shen Hechuan frowned and instantly thought of something.
"Tianji, bring your men and follow me."
Having said that, he didn't care about the empress dowager anymore and rushed out at a high speed.
And at this time in the dilapidated temple.
Gu Jingchun walked in slowly.
Looking at the dilapidated environment around him, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but sneer.
"Master, even after all these years, you still haven't changed your nature. You're like a rat in a gutter, hiding in these dark corners every day."
"Hahaha……"
Guan Zhixin's voice came from somewhere and echoed throughout the dilapidated temple.
"My dear young master, after all this time, you are still so sharp-tongued. You really are just like your mother."
Gu Jingchun looked around and saw only dilapidated Buddha statues all around. These words, just as they were spoken, kept echoing and sounded extremely eerie and terrifying.
Lan Xin beside her trembled subconsciously and blocked Gu Jingchun behind her.
"Miss, there's something fishy going on here. You must be careful."
But Gu Jingchun snorted coldly.
"Guan Zhixin, after all these years, you still love playing tricks on ghosts."
"I told you last time that if I see you again, I will definitely kill you."
