The empress narrowed her eyes. I just want him to be disappointed! Let the heavens bless me!
"Pass on my decree! Summon the attendants to attend the court and receive their rewards." the empress said. She had already made up her mind. Although she hated him, she would still be conferred a title of nobility. Otherwise, she would not be able to shut up the mouths of everyone in the world!
Not long after, the eunuch who had gone outside the palace to deliver the imperial edict came back and reported anxiously,""Your Majesty, I don't know where Mu Shi went. The two servants at home said that Mu Shi left with Divine Constable Zuo.”
Under the empress's robe, her small hand twisted fiercely.
His face became expressionless.
All the officials in the court were instantly anxious.
"Where did the bath attendant say he went?"
"What should we do? The moment the reward was given, he actually disappeared.”
"Preposterous, Your Majesty. I want to teach a lesson to the shamans. I don't come to court and my whereabouts are unknown. I despise the might of the heavens. Your Majesty, please punish me severely and give me dozens of lashes to warn others.”
"Your Majesty, I have something to attend to."
The imperial court was in a hubbub again. Some people cursed loudly and accused Mu Yu of disrespecting the heavenly might.
There were also people who helped defend him, saying that the attendant might have been overworked and went out for medical treatment.
The two factions were arguing, but they all maintained a tacit understanding, that was, they did not talk about punishment such as beheading.
Logically speaking, this kind of behavior was enough to be executed ten times. However, that person was famous in the world today. The people loved him and sang about him. He was in the limelight. Who dared to kill him?
His Majesty can't either. He doesn't dare to. He can't.
If His Majesty were to kill him, he would probably be the first to be remembered by His Majesty.
It was fine to beat him dozens of times.
The civil and military officials quarreled.
The empress's expression turned colder and colder, and she became more and more unhappy. If there was nothing to smash around her, she would have smashed it again.
Dog, you can't do anything else, but you have a way of angering her.
"I have decreed that Mu Shilang is unwell and will be rewarded on a certain day.”
The duck paper in his mouth flew away.
Minister Yu, who did not participate in the quarrel between the officials in the court, was speechless. He looked down and did not dare to say a word. This was his father, his real brother. He had spent so much effort to help him ask for a reward. It was fine if he did not come to court, but he had run off without saying a word. Now, he had offended the Emperor again, and the reward for his crime had run away again.
Looking at the Emperor's icy expression, Minister Yu did not dare to say a word.
He was afraid that if he continued, he would be beaten up first.
"Wei Qing, after you leave the court, you can go and pay a visit. Then, you can return to the palace and tell me in detail.”the empress said expressionlessly.
"I accept your decree." Wei Ge nodded, knowing that His Majesty wanted him to investigate.
"The court session is dismissed," the empress nodded.
He left the Golden Crest Palace.
"Does the Duke of Wei know where Mu Shi went?" asked the chief assistant with a dark face.”
"I don't know either." Wei Ge shook his head.
Chief Wang's expression became even uglier and he hurried out of the palace.
Wei Ge's heart was also in a mess. He was afraid that Zuo Qingshang, that wretched girl, would not know the big picture and kidnap them to become a young couple in the mountains. Otherwise, there would be spies everywhere in the capital. How could even the Emperor's personal eunuchs not find them? Only that wretched girl had such strength!
But if that wretched girl really did that, what would happen to His Majesty's reputation? Where does the world belong? What does it mean to that Mu brat's reputation?
No, the one with the surname Mu was fine. The people would only sigh for him and say that the Great Luo had lost a pillar of talent. However, the Emperor and his courtiers, especially the head of the Six Fan School who was in charge of the security of the capital, would be pointed at by the people and scolded.
"Wretched girl." Wei Ge cursed in his heart. At this point, he also wanted to sigh. In the court, one couldn't help it. He clearly didn't do anything, but things had already hit him.
It was too worrisome.
Wei Ge strode back to Six Fan School.
Back at Six Fan School. Wei Ge immediately began a vigorous investigation and mobilized the capital's secret agents.
At the same time.
In the Imperial Palace.
A deep pavilion where no one can go.
The figure that made countless courtiers hate him was in the depths of the pavilion.
"Your Majesty, your state of mind has been fluctuating too much recently.”In the depths of the pavilion, there was no fluctuation in the ancient well. There was no fluctuation in emotions, and a voice that did not carry the slightest smoke and fire sounded.
"Because there is a dog that always angers zhen.”the empress said angrily.
"Just kill him. Cultivation is the most important thing, and your state of mind is constantly fluctuating. How can Your Majesty calm down? His Majesty doesn't even have this little bit of decisiveness?”A female voice said from the deep pavilion.
"That dog can't be killed." the empress said sullenly.
"There's nothing that Your Majesty can't kill. There's only thinking and not thinking.”
"I wish I could beat that bastard half to death and make him kneel in front of me and admit his mistakes all day long. However, that bastard isn't even afraid of death. My threats are useless.”the empress said.
"Your Majesty, if this continues, my Dao heart will be worried, and it will be difficult to cultivate and succeed in Dao Fruit.”the female voice said.
"I don't want to kill him."
"Your Majesty, do you have any other ideas? No longer angry? Can Your Majesty do it?" the female voice asked.
The empress fell silent.
"Your Majesty, if this continues, it will be difficult to achieve the Dao Fruit!”
The empress furrowed her brows bit by bit.
Not long after, his brows slowly recovered, and there was no longer any emotion in them."Zhen knows what to do."
The empress's voice was very cold and emotionless.
"Men, pass on the decree."
"Your Majesty." The eunuch entered.
"Pass on my decree. Mu Shi has worked hard and made great contributions. He has done his best for the people of the world and shared my worries. He is a capable official who has developed rare crops to benefit the world. Marquis Xiping." the empress said coldly.
"This old servant receives the decree." The eunuch knelt down.
A seventh-grade hereditary noble title meant that the capital would have another hereditary noble. As long as the dynasty did not fall, the inheritance would not be low. It would be passed down from generation to generation.
"Send another decree." the empress said.
" Servant Mu has no respect for his superiors and has repeatedly offended the authority of the Heavenly Family and the Emperor. I have been magnanimous and unrepentant. He has committed many serious crimes. I will give him a lighter punishment for his meritorious deeds. I will not kill his relatives. He will be detained immediately and will be executed at the Meridian Gate five days later.”The empress spoke word by word without any room for change.
The eunuch trembled for a moment, then lowered his head and said,""This old servant receives the decree."
Not far away, behind the screen, Zi 'er appeared. Under the silver mask, her beautiful eyes were big, but when she saw the Emperor's emotionless face, her heart sank bit by bit.
His Majesty had really made up his mind this time.
If the servant speaks, he will certainly die.
"Zi 'er, seal the palace gates. I feel a cold and need to rest for a few days.”the empress said coldly.
"This subordinate accepts your orders." Zi-er didn't say a word as her figure disappeared from the Thearch Palace.
After doing all this, the empress seemed to have lost all her strength. She supported herself with the chair beside her before she could stabilize her slender body.
The cabinet fell into silence. In the end, the empress said blankly,"Imperial Preceptor, is this my original intention? That day has yet to come, and I have already let the world rot first. I will also let my reputation be destroyed first…”
" Your Majesty, a general's achievements are worth tens of thousands of bones. Furthermore, you are the Supreme One. If you want to create a golden age, you are destined to step on countless bones and make countless sacrifices. No matter how prosperous it is now, it is just a dream. You have already conferred a title, so there is no need to feel guilty.”the calm female voice said.
"I know." The empress leaned against the luxurious chair tiredly and slowly closed her eyes.
