He looked suspiciously at Murong Cang on the dragon throne. His uncle, this old man, didn’t have many days left to live. He had always been tolerant and yielding to him. How dare he offend him like this now? Could it be that the newly arrived Princess Protector of the Nation did what happened last night? But a 15-year-old girl, no matter how good her martial arts and medical skills were, would not have such a strategy and courage! Could it be that Yun Gu really had such a skill and actually cured the old man’s poison?
While he was still guessing, Murong Cang on the dragon throne had already begun to accept the gift from Yun Qianyu.
“Grand Secretary Lu Zihao!”
“I’m here!” Lu Zihao walked out and bowed.
“Draft an imperial decree!”
“I obey your order!” Lu Zihao walked to the desk beside him and sat down, quill in his hand while waiting for Murong Cang to issue the imperial decree.
“Minister of Works Bai Yongzhi lost his mother last night. From today on, he will be in mourning at home. He will return to the court to take up his post after the three-year period is over. Prime Minister Tian Binwei is not able to walk well, so he is allowed to recuperate at home. He will report to the court after his foot injury is healed. General Liu Jingsheng is not good at educating his children. How can he rule the country if his family is not at peace? Removing his general’s post and taking back the military power, we punish him to face the wall at home for three years. He cannot leave the capital without the imperial edict.”
These imperial edicts hit the hearts of the court officials heavily, especially since all the people punished were from Rui Wang’s faction. This was a slap in the face!
The court officials were all smelling this different atmosphere! Secretly guessing!
Rui Wang stood there with a sullen face. Was the emperor really going to take action against him?
Originally, when he saw his son had been knocked unconscious yesterday, he was furious, and immediately wanted to give Yun Qianyu a warning, so those things happened. He wanted to impeach Yun Qianyu with his son’s affairs in the morning court today and take away her title of Princess Protector of the Nation in one fell swoop, but he didn’t expect to get himself into trouble, and lose all these forces that he had cultivated for many years in vain!
But the matter was not over yet, Murong Cang’s eyes finally fell on Rui Wang.
“Rui Wang has been in charge of the Tiger Guard Camp outside the city for many years, but he neglected its management. The military discipline of the Tiger Guard Camp was lax, and people gathered to drink and fight because of private wishes. He actually ignored the signs, which delayed the danger. Not only was the fire not extinguished in time, but many soldiers were killed and injured. How can such a Tiger Guard Camp protect the capital? Now take back the tiger talisman and fine him one year’s salary.”
“Your Majesty, is this punishment too severe?”
“Yes, after all, Rui Wang didn’t mean it?”
“Your Majesty, please think twice? Rui Wang is the only heir to the throne. No one in the court is more suitable to be in charge of the Tiger Guard Camp than Rui Wang.”
Rui Wang’s faction finally couldn’t help it. The Tiger Guard Camp was meant to protect the safety of the capital. Rui Wang couldn’t lose such a big helper!
“The only heir? Why, does the Qin family want to tell me that my grandson Yujian is not of royal blood?”
Duke Rong immediately understood and stood up to angrily accuse everyone, asking the emperor to clear the name of his deceased sister, the Crown Princess!
The ministers realized that they had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: “Your Majesty, please forgive us!”
Although in their hearts, Yujian, the little baby, would die sooner or later, this matter could not be said yet!
Murong Cang smiled coldly, “I never knew that in your eyes, except for the royal family, you ministers of other surnames are not trustworthy!”
“Your Majesty, please forgive me, we didn’t mean that.” The ministers were at a loss for words and hurriedly kowtowed to explain.
“What do you mean by not meaning that? It is precisely because Rui Wang is my nephew that he should be punished more severely. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention him as a prince.”
Rui Wang’s eyes were cold. Do you think that you can protect Murong Yujian, the little brat, by taking back a tiger guard camp? Your sons couldn’t beat me, let alone your grandson? You’re dreaming!
The Tiger Guard Camp was burned down last night. Those soldiers fought each other because of private grudges. The people he had carefully trained suffered heavy casualties. There were only a few people who could be used, and it would take a lot of effort to renovate it. Keeping it in his hands would only be a burden. It would be better to throw it away and arrange for his own people to take it down after the Tiger Guard Camp was reorganized.
He bowed and presented the tiger talisman, “Your Majesty, I am willing to take the blame!”
Li Jinhai stepped forward to take back the tiger talisman.
Murong Cang sneered in his heart, but his face was still angry. He waved his sleeves and angrily withdrew from the court. Duke Rong also left with an unhappy face.
Lu Zihao, the Grand Secretary of the Lu Dynasty, looked at the four imperial edicts in his hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up. This move was a big deal! Then he took the imperial edict and walked out of the hall calmly with a leisurely pace under the gaze of all the court officials.
He muttered, “Hey, four imperial edicts. I’m going to run around today.”
He turned around and said to the court officials, “My lords, are there any of you going to the Prime Minister’s Mansion to pay your respects? You can take it by the way!”
All the people in Rui Wang’s group looked at Rui Wang, and no one dared to respond to Lu Zihao’s words.
Instead, Hua Manxi lazily walked out of the crowd, “Brother Lu, this prince will go with you.”
“Okay, Hua Wang, please.” Lu Zihao stretched out his hand and said.
“If you want to call me Wang, then call me Wang. Can you remove the word Hua? It sounds like this prince is very fickle.”
“Okay, from now on, I’ll call you Xi Wang.”
“Alright, it sounds better than Hua Wang anyway.”
Everyone glanced at Hua Manxi’s red robe and couldn’t help but twitch their lips. Are you sure you want to wear this to pay your respects? They’re holding a funeral, not getting married!
The two chatted and walked away. Those who remained neutral also left one after another, and those who stayed were all Rui Wang’s people without exception.
They surrounded Rui Wang and asked.
“Your Majesty, what is going on?”
“It’s just a show, how come it’s coming true?”
Rui Wang glared at everyone. These idiots, is this the place to talk?
Everyone understood and immediately fell silent, embracing Rui Wang to walk out of the hall.
Rui Wang looked back at the magnificent hall and smiled coldly in his heart. Do you think that you have cut off my left and right arms? My good uncle, you will be very disappointed!
Yun Qianyu took the Yixi Pill and slept for another night. When she woke up this morning, her complexion was much better, and her internal strength was also back by 20%. At this time, she was sitting at the table eating the breakfast prepared by Hong Su, listening to Feng Ran’s report on what happened last night, who by the way was also reporting on what happened in the morning court today.
Gong Sangmo was wearing a moon-white soft robe, a white jade crown that raised his black hair high, his pair of phoenix eyes sparkling with stars, while his snow-white brocade boots embroidered with dark patterns loomed under the moon-white soft robe embroidered with ink-colored nanmu as he walked. He walked in slowly from outside with his hands behind his back in the morning light.
Entering the palace, the first thing that caught his eye was Yun Qianyu, whose face was a little rosy. She was wearing a light blue dress and sitting at the table eating breakfast. Her satisfied look instantly warmed Gong Sangmo’s face.
