"Xiao Die, those people outside are my people.”Chen Yuan put down the paper and said.
At this moment, the person who had come to deliver the letter to the Sunken Abyss was being surrounded by Manjusaka and his letter was snatched away. Just when he thought he was dead, the strange plant slowly released him. This made the messenger immediately turn around and leave this terrifying place.
He also swore in his heart that for the sake of his life, he would never come to this terrifying place like the Imperial Residence of King Jing again.
In the room, Ming Cheya could not get an answer from the mortals, so she asked Manjusaka, who was monitoring the entire town, to tell her. After she finished listening, Ming Cheya's eyes flashed with hostility. She raised her head and said fiercely to Chen Yuan,""If they want your life, they should have let Red Spiderlily sneak into their houses and kill them all.”
Seeing how Ming Cheya was protecting him so straightforwardly, Chen Yuan felt a trace of warmth in his heart. His eyes were filled with gentleness as he said,""There's no need. This matter has been resolved. And I'm very happy that you're so considerate of me.”
When Ming Cheya heard the mortals 'rejection, she lay back on the bed, thinking that she would repay them in secret when the time came.
Because his father said that some things that could not be done openly could be secretly taken revenge.
Chen Yuan looked at Ming Cheya in amusement. Why did she put everything on her face? How cute.
Tonight, the moon was dark and the wind was strong. It was an excellent night to kill.
At this moment, blood had already flowed like a river under the ground in the suburbs of Jade Mian. Countless corpses lay in this huge underground world.
"Damn it, I didn't expect those old ministers to secretly cultivate such an organization. But today, they were all wiped out by us.”A rough and happy voice came from the darkness.
"Dan, don't be too happy." Han Yun sat in the hall of this underground world. When he saw that everyone here had been killed, he pulled down the mask that covered his face and said happily.
"Hmph, I'm happy now." Yan Dan raised the sledgehammer in his hand and waved it wantonly in the air.
"Are you sure there's no one left?”Han Ren still covered his face and said cautiously.
"Of course." Yan Dan looked at Han Ren, who did not believe in his abilities, and said," I just went to check this place again, but I didn't find any survivors."”
Han Ren did not say anything. He called the two masked soldiers over and asked them to deliver the letter to King Jing's Imperial Residence and the Imperial Palace respectively. Report to the Emperor and King Jing that their plan had succeeded.
Seeing that Han Ren was ignoring him, Yan Dan was not angry. He continued to say excitedly,"Hahaha, I can't wait to see the faces of those old ministers tomorrow.”
After saying that, Han Yun and Han Ren both had looks of anticipation.
They were finally going to get their revenge.
The night slowly passed.
At the fifth watch, the officials in the jade crowns set off from their homes in sedan chairs to the Imperial Palace, ready to attend court.
In the palace, Jiang Xin saw that it was almost time. He pushed open the door and entered the Emperor's bedroom. He walked to the side of the dragon bed and called out softly,""Emperor, it's time to get up."
After a while, a rustling sound came from the bed. Chen Ke struggled to sit up from the bed, closing her eyes tightly and trying to continue sleeping.
Yu Mian, who was sleeping at the side, looked at this scene that she could only see when she woke up, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. One had to know that Chen Ke usually had a serious face and was invulnerable. It was rare to see him lazing in bed like this.
"Ke, open your eyes and put on your clothes. It's time to go to the morning court.”After saying that, Yumian ignored Chenke's reply and got out of bed. She put on her clothes first and pulled Chenke out of bed.
Then, he picked up the dragon robe that the palace servants had prepared for Chenke and put it on him.
In the process of being fiddled with by Yu Mian, Chen Ke slowly opened her eyes that she had been unwilling to open. She immediately saw Yu Mian's big smiling face in front of her.
This made Chen Ke feel happy and happy.
After putting on Chenke's clothes, Yumian tiptoed and kissed the corner of his mouth. She yawned and said,"Ke, good luck in morning court. I'm going to go back to sleep."
As he spoke, he climbed onto the bed not far behind him and covered himself with the blanket to sleep.
Chen Ke looked at Yu Mian's back with a gentle gaze and whispered to Yu Mian's trusted aide not far away,"When she wakes up, remember to let her eat breakfast.”
"Yes." Qiu Yue replied softly.
After a while, the people in the bedroom quietly left, and the bedroom became quiet again.
In the hall, Cheng Yin and the others who had arrived long ago stood there with their heads held high, exchanging glances with each other in secret. They had no idea that they were already fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered.
While Cheng Yin and the others were still secretly excited, Emperor Chen Yuan came to the main seat of the hall and sat down.
"Long live my emperor." The ministers knelt down and greeted Chen Ke.
"Rise." Chen Ke said in a deep voice.
After everyone stood up, Chen Ke spoke again,""Do you have something to do today?"
The court was silent for a while. Then, a fourth-grade official stood up and bowed respectfully."Emperor, I have something to report."
When Chen Ke heard that, a dark light flashed across her eyes. She thought to herself,'Finally.'
"What is it?"
"I want to report His Highness King Jing for aiding the evildoers. He allowed the woman in the residence to kill wantonly in the jade crown. I've already confirmed that the Wang family in the east and the top lady of the Red Chamber, Yu Ze 'er, have died to that woman's strange technique.”
"King Jing, is there such a thing?" Chen Ke asked seriously, but her eyes were filled with schadenfreude.
"Your Majesty, this is a false accusation." Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows when he saw his elder brother's teasing gaze. He went forward and calmly replied.
However, just as he finished speaking, the young official hurriedly said,"Emperor, I have a witness."
"Oh." Chen Ke looked at Shaoqing with a murderous look in her eyes, but she quickly looked away and said," Then bring him here to take a look."”
Standing in the middle of the hall, the official suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. In that instant, he seemed to have seen the Emperor's murderous gaze. But when he thought of how Lord Cheng Yin and the others had already prepared everything, he instantly became full of confidence.
"Yes."
Not long after, the brothel madame, Feng Yue, was brought to the main hall.
Moon Breeze saw Emperor Chenke sitting high up in the main hall and couldn't help but feel weak in the knees. They immediately knelt down nervously and greeted,""This lowly Feng Yue greets the emperor. Long live, long live, long live.”
"Moon Breeze, I heard that King Jing is helping a tyrant. He killed someone in your 'Dream of the Red Chamber', is that true? Jiang Xin saw that the Emperor did not speak, so he went forward and asked,"You have to tell the truth, or else you might not be able to protect your nickname."”
Because of Jiang Xin's words, the Moon Breeze couple trembled in fear. Their eyes wandered as they looked at Shaoqing, who was standing behind them.
"Moon Breeze, hurry up and reply." Seeing the Emperor's dissatisfaction, Jiang Xin shouted angrily.
Moon Breeze trembled and immediately fell to the ground. His voice trembled as he said,"Spare me, emperor. How could King Jing help a tyrant? All of this was done by Lord Shaoqing who asked this servant to perjure herself. Emperor, please spare my life."
With that, there was an uproar in the court. Shaoqing's face was pale as he took a few steps back. When he came back to his senses, he pointed his finger at Moon Breeze and said with grief and indignation,"You female servant, how dare you lie to the emperor and let me be wronged?”
Then, Jiang Xin received a signal from the Emperor's eyes and shouted,""Men, take this young official who slandered King Jing and throw him into jail.”
"Emperor, I'm innocent!" Shaoqing was dragged out by the guards, and when he left, he looked at Cheng Yin with pleading eyes. But what made him feel despair was that Lord Cheng Yin did not even glance at him.
At that moment, Shaoqing knew that he had been abandoned.
Seeing that the young official had been dragged far away, Jiang Xin spoke again on behalf of the emperor,""May I ask if the ministers have anything else to report?”
Cheng Yin, Shi Jian, and Chen Xiangli, who were standing below, exchanged glances in private, and their eyes revealed some bad news.
After all, when she had found the brothel madame, she had vowed that she would stand up and point out King Jing's crimes even in front of the Emperor. However, she had not expected such a huge change to happen here today.
That brothel madame actually changed her words in the main hall.
This made Cheng Yin and the other two feel very uneasy, worried that something had gone wrong.
However, when they thought about how they had planned for so long, they felt extremely unwilling to give up on their plan today. Moreover, they did not believe that the Sunken Abyss would know about their perfect plan.
Thus, the three of them decided to carry out the plan as usual.
However, the three of them would not be the ones to execute it.
After a while, Magistrate Lou Yun stood out again. He was still bent over and said to Emperor Chen Ke in a deep voice,""Emperor, I have something to report."
Chen Ke's eyes darkened as she looked at Xiao Chou in the hall with a faint smile. She said coldly,""Speak."
Chen Ke's cold voice made Lou Yun tremble, but he still replied calmly,""I want to report King Jing and the barbarian Si Tong for plotting to usurp the throne.”
"Nonsense." Yan Dan stood in the military officer's line and was the first to roar fiercely.
Then, Yan Dan, who wanted to go forward, was pulled back by Han Ren, who shook his head at him, telling him to calm down and not be nosy.
But even though they knew that the Right Prime Minister and the others had returned today, it still made them furious. These damn old ministers!
Instantly, there was an uproar in the imperial court. Some neutral officials and the Left Minister's faction who did not know the truth could not believe that the magistrate had actually accused King Jing of plotting to usurp the throne.
Lou Yun saw the chaos in the court and felt very proud. Thus, he raised his voice again." I also want to sue Yandan, Han Yuan, Han Ren, and Liu Qing. They are King Jing's trusted aides and also participated in this treasonous act.”
"How dare you speak nonsense, Magistrate? Do you believe that I will cut you down right now?”Yan Dan became even angrier when he heard this person's false accusation. He rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Lou Yun angrily, ready to make a move. However, he was stopped by Han Ren and was not allowed to go forward.
