Chapter 173: One versus a Hundred, Cool (Part 2)
Kang Rui's face turned pale. This move would not only ruin their reputation, but also make them the target of public criticism and a disgrace to their family. It would also make them infamous for eternity.
How could there be such a vicious and terrible woman in this world?
And he believed that she was definitely capable of doing such a thing.
Qin Tianbao was furious. "You dare?"
I'm going crazy! Ahhh, I want to kill someone!
Yun Zheng sat on the high wall, legs dangling back and forth, a defiant look on her face. "Do you think I dare?"
Qin Tianbao was extremely angry and pointed at her and cursed, "Sinister villain!"
Facing their anger, Yun Zheng smiled happily.
"Only incompetent people rely on bullying women to satisfy their perverted vanity."
"You only dare to vent your anger on me, but you don't dare to yell at the emperor. You are a bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. You are hypocrites with a sanctimonious appearance. I look down on you."
She fought against a hundred people alone and killed them indiscriminately.
The students who were killed were defeated and hid aside, fearing that they would be targeted by her.
I can’t fight you, so why not just run away?
Kang Rui's eyes were slightly cold. He took a few steps forward to approach Yun Zheng and bowed slightly, "Princess..."
As he spoke, something flew out from his sleeve, and an angry shout suddenly rang out, "Princess, be careful."
A sleeve arrow shot towards Yun Zheng, but it was too close. Yun Zheng, who was sitting on the wall, had nowhere to hide, and the arrow hit her chest.
Yun Zheng screamed and fell into the wall.
Having succeeded, Kang Rui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned his head and ran away.
However, after running only two steps, a long arrow hit his left leg. He felt a sharp pain, but he did not dare to stop and continued to run forward despite the pain.
"Swoosh." A long arrow hit his right leg. He lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
He was shocked and struggled to get up, but it was too late. With two whooshes, his left and right arms were shot.
He was like a turtle, with his limbs nailed to the ground. He had no strength to struggle and was in excruciating pain.
He closed his eyes in embarrassment, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his heart. Yun Zheng, it's over too! Hahaha!
On the other side, Qin Tianbao received the same treatment.
It happens quickly or slowly, but in an instant.
The students were terrified and ran around in panic, screams echoing throughout the venue.
A group of men in black appeared out of nowhere, pointing arrows at them.
The leading man shouted loudly, "This is the case of the Mingjing Division. Everyone, get down on the ground. Otherwise, it will be considered treason and you will be shot."
Kang Rui opened his eyes suddenly. It seemed that they came too fast?
On the other side, the imperial court, civil and military officials knelt in front of the Yangxin Palace, begging the emperor to revoke his order.
Inside the palace, the emperor put down his brush and rubbed his brow. "How long have you been kneeling?"
The chief eunuch answered cautiously, "Six hours."
This time the commotion is so big that the emperor is forced to make concessions. However, can the emperor, who is so self-centered, tolerate this?
At this point, it is no longer just about Princess Jinyun's future, but also a contest between the emperor and his subjects.
In any relationship, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind. The same is true for the relationship between the ruler and his subjects.
"So energetic? Take these ledgers out, one for each of you, and settle the accounts before dark."
The court officials kneeling outside, holding densely packed account books, felt their scalps tingling and terrified.
Several cabinet ministers and six ministers did not participate, but handled official business in the side hall next door.
But, he was uneasy and looked outside from time to time.
Hearing the commotion outside, the Prime Minister stood up, watched for a while, and suddenly said, "Everyone, follow me to persuade the emperor. This is not a solution."
He was the head of all officials, so naturally no one would refute what he said.
"Your Majesty, it's not easy for the court officials either. They are not doing this for themselves, but for your reputation and for the national system."
"It's not worth it for a woman. You'd better take back your decision."
The emperor said coldly, "My words are as good as gold. There is absolutely no reason to withdraw the imperial edict."
Where is the Regal?
The Prime Minister sighed silently. He had known Yun Zheng's ambition for a long time, but he always thought that she would not be able to achieve anything because the emperor looked down on women. Over the years, he deliberately suppressed women and even did not allow divorce.
Who would have thought that the emperor was actually persuaded about Yun Zheng's matter.
All I can say is that in the face of huge interests, everything is nothing, and any principles and rules can be broken.
"Your Majesty, now that everyone is so resistant, why not take it easy for a while?"
The Deputy Minister also chimed in, "Yes, Your Majesty, Princess Jinyun is so sensible and will definitely understand your difficulties."
The Minister of Personnel also said, "Your Majesty, the overall situation is the most important thing."
Only the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Works remained silent. They had long seen that no one could stop Yun Zheng from doing what she wanted.
She has plenty of strength and means.
The emperor looked at everyone coldly. Don’t think he doesn’t know that this incident is inseparable from these people.
The person behind this is...
At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince requests an audience."
The emperor was stunned for a moment. Was his ninth brother finally willing to enter the palace? "Please come in."
Li Wuyang was pushed in in a wheelchair. He had a cold expression and exuded a strong murderous intent.
Everyone was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back.
Li Wuyang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, something has happened."
The emperor frowned, "What is it?"
Li Wuyang's expression was stern and murderous. "Your Majesty, Princess Jinyun was attacked and her life or death is uncertain."
The scene was silent, and everyone stared in disbelief. What?
The emperor's face changed drastically, and he subconsciously glared at several important officials, "What? Who did it? Who is so bold?"
Li Wuyang's gaze swept over coldly, "Just now, hundreds of teachers and students from the Imperial College besieged Princess Jinyun's residence and took advantage of the chaos to assassinate Princess Jinyun."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The Prime Minister and the Minister of Personnel exchanged glances. What's going on? You did this? Are you crazy?
The emperor was shocked and angry, "How is the princess now?"
This wasn't an assassination attempt on the princess's face; it was clearly a deliberate slap in the face as a warning to him.
Next time, it will be his turn to assassinate him!
Li Wuyang's face was as dark as water. "First aid is being provided."
The emperor was anxious, hoping that nothing would happen to his Goddess of Wealth.
"Give the order, have the chief physician lead the entire Imperial Hospital to the Jinyun Princess's residence. Make sure the princess is saved."
"yes."
"Prince Rui, investigate this matter thoroughly. Anyone who dares to assassinate the current princess will be punished unforgivably."
Li Wuyang cast a murderous gaze on several important officials, "Your Majesty, I have captured two of the leaders."
"One of them is the Dean of the Imperial College, Qin Tianbao."
His voice paused, his gaze falling on the Prime Minister, "One is... the Prime Minister's grand-disciple, Kang Rui."
It was like a thunderclap exploding above everyone's heads, and everyone's expression changed.
A cry of surprise suddenly rang out, "What? Lord Prime Minister, you ordered someone to assassinate Princess Jinyun? Are you crazy?"
