However, such a stubborn mouth would only be more effective in the end when they fought!
Empress Zhangsun was still very relaxed.
She shook her head.
"Lord Wei, since when did bengong cover up for His Majesty?”
"Have you seen it before? BenGong said that this ice was made by BenGong. If Lord Wei doesn't believe me, BenGong can demonstrate it to you on the spot.”
"But…"
"Lord Wei, I'm also telling you, if you lose the bet with His Majesty because of me, then…"
"BenGong won't care."
Empress Zhangsun was smart. Seeing Wei Zheng's temper, she knew that he must have made an agreement with the Emperor.
Empress Zhangsun looked at Wei Zheng quietly.
The aura around him was undoubtedly huge.
Wei Zheng felt uncomfortable all over.
However, Wei Zheng snorted coldly and said stubbornly,"Good!"
"Since the empress is determined to protect His Majesty, then this subject would like to see how the empress can conjure this ice in the middle of summer!”
"Even a three-year-old child would laugh their teeth out if word got out.”
"The Empress has a noble status, yet she can speak without blushing. Since that's the case, this subject will fulfill Your Majesty and the Empress 'wishes!”
"Empress, please!"
Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and the others looked at each other.
This…
They did not expect things to develop to this stage.
Was this not a joke?
How could ice be made in the middle of summer?
Wei Zheng was really a little too much.
"Alright!" Empress Zhangsun nodded.
She smiled and turned around to make the arrangements.
"Xuancheng, how can you speak to the Empress like that?”
"This is offending your superiors. Your Majesty, there's no need to turn the Empress into ice. I'll take Wei Zheng and throw him into prison!”
Yuchi Jingde impulsively wanted to attack.
"Xuancheng, you're really going too far by doing this.”
"The Empress is benevolent and virtuous. You know her character very well. Today, you actually want to make the Empress embarrass herself in public. Do you believe that this old man will strip you naked and throw you out of the Imperial City?”
Qin Qiong said in a muffled voice.
Li Jing stared at Wei Zheng with an unfriendly expression.
Without a doubt, they were full of respect for Empress Zhangsun.
Wei Zheng took a deep breath. He met their gazes without fear.
"I didn't make these mistakes.”
"It's Your Majesty. If Your Majesty admits his mistake, how can the Empress be implicated?”
"The Empress is helping His Majesty lie and covering up for His Majesty's misdeeds. As an Imperial Censor, I can't just stand by and do nothing!”
After Wei Zheng said that, he closed his eyes.
" You…" Yuchi Jingde was furious.
"Sigh…Jing De! Don't talk anymore."
Li Shimin immediately stopped Yuchi Jingde.
"You don't have to say anything."
"Since the bet with Xuan Cheng has been set, it's too late to say anything now.”
"However, I have never lied, and this time is the same. However, since Xuan Cheng doesn't believe me, then let's wait.”
Li Shi Min said with a smile.
Seeing is believing?
Li Jing, Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and the others were somewhat at a loss.
How could he believe such a ridiculous proposal?
What was His Majesty planning?
Li Jing was about to speak again when he suddenly saw Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Cheng Yaojin holding back their laughter as if they knew something.
Li Jing then looked at Li Shiming, who had a calm expression on his face.
He was stunned.
He swallowed the words he was about to say.
What was going on?
He was extremely puzzled.
Could it be that the Empress could really conjure ice in the middle of summer?
Damn it!
What was going on?
However, it was quiet under the pavilion now. No one spoke. Even if Li Jing and the others had thousands of questions in their hearts, it was not good to ask.
He could only swallow it and wait.
Zhangsun Wuji and the others did not interrupt from the beginning.
It was because they knew very well that Empress Zhangsun really knew how to make ice.
Yesterday in the courtyard, the Green Dragon was handed over to the Empress.
They also clearly saw the process of making ice.
The ice cubes today were the result of the Empress's own test. So, what was there to worry about?
On the other hand, Wei Zheng, this old man, was finding fault every day. No matter what happened, he always wanted to butt in. Now, it was great…
Humph!
That was good too. He wanted to let this old man know that there was always someone better than him!
In the future, you should also pay attention to your words.
Soon, Empress Zhangsun arrived.
A palace maid carried a basin of water and placed it on the table in front of Li Shiming and the others.
"Lord Wei, do you still want to check?”Empress Zhangsun said with a smile.
"It's just a basin of water."
"There's no need to check."
Wei Zheng opened his eyes and looked at the basin in front of him. He frowned and said in a deep voice.
Why was he so stubborn?
Was the Empress unwilling to give up until she saw the coffin?
Did he have to admit his mistake at the end?
Good!
Since you want to do this, then this old man will play with you.
Your Majesty, Empress, you asked for this. Don't let me do this!
It seems that this time, I will step on the shoulders of His Majesty and the Empress and spread my name all over the world.
Hahaha…
Wei Zheng was a little arrogant.
Li Jing, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde were also sitting upright, staring at the basin of water.
What was the Empress trying to do!
They were at a loss.
Then, Empress Zhangsun took out a layer of cloth and covered it with it. Then, she reached her hands in.
This method was taught to him by the green sparrow. He definitely could not let others know.
Even if he wanted to spread it all over the world, it should be the green sparrow, not him.
"Xuan Cheng, watch carefully."
"Don't say that I wronged you and lied to you later.”
Li Shi Min was extremely relaxed.
"Your Majesty, I will wait!" Wei Zheng said.
Everyone's gaze was on the basin of water covered by the cloth.
After a while, Empress Zhangsun withdrew her hand.
"Done?" Wei Zheng asked.
"Wait a little longer." Empress Zhangsun shook her head.
Not long after, less than half an hour, Empress Zhangsun looked at Wei Zheng.""Lord Wei, please remove the cloth.”
Hearing this, Wei Zheng's body trembled.
Li Shiming, Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and the others also leaned forward.
Although they had all seen that miraculous scene before, they still found it unbelievable when they saw it again.
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and Li Jing, who had never seen it before, were even more curious. Their eyeballs were about to pop out.
He stared at it intently.
He didn't move at all.
"Open it." Li Shimin raised his chin at Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng snorted.
He reached out his hand and pinched a corner.
"Your Majesty!"
"Empress!"
"I'm sorry."
"However, for the sake of the world, this subject must warn His Majesty and the Empress that this edict is set.”
"Turning summer into ice is the most ridiculous joke in the world!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Zheng's fingers suddenly tightened.
But the cloth did not move.
"Hmm?"
Wei Zheng's eyebrows suddenly stood up in disbelief.
And at this instant, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, and Yuchi Jingde stood up directly.
His face was filled with shock.
It was unbelievable.
The cloth was left untouched?
Was it…frozen?
Wei Zheng rubbed his hands and exerted force again. This time, the basin was actually connected.
"This…"
"This…"
"Impossible! How was this possible? It's absolutely impossible!"
Wei Zheng panicked.
He admitted that he was panicking.
All the calmness he had before had completely disappeared, leaving only a deep shock in his heart.
How was this possible?
Li Shi Min, Zhangsun Wuji and the other five couldn't hold it in any longer, and their mouths cracked open.
Wei Zheng's face was a little pale.
He knocked on the basin with one hand and pulled hard with the other.
Crash…
The cloth was down, but…
Along with the cloth came a layer of ice shards.
Then, the basin that was filled to the brim earlier had completely turned into an ice cube.
The ice was very thick.
It was very cold.
There were also patterns on the surface of the ice. It could be confirmed that the ice was conjured by Empress Zhangsun using water.
Hiss…
Hiss…
Hiss…
Wei Zheng stood there, his chest heaving up and down crazily. His breathing was like a roller coaster, going up and down like an old bull, and his voice was very heavy.
He was stunned.
He was stunned.
He was dumbfounded.
Not only him, Qin Qiong, Li Jing, and Yuchi Jingde were also instantly stunned on the spot.
Their minds went blank.
It really appeared!
Oh my god!
Was the Empress an immortal? How could this be? The water was still fine just now. How could it turn into ice so quickly?
My mother!
How did he do it?
Under the pavilion, it was as quiet as a graveyard in the night.
"Your Majesty, I'll go down first."
"Let's see how the hotpot is doing.”
Empress Zhangsun was the first to speak.
Li Shimin quickly nodded.”
Empress Zhangsun left.
However, he left behind a legend.
Li Shi Min crossed his legs leisurely, sipping a cup of tea in his hand. He put it down and said slowly,"Xuan Cheng."
"Do you think what I said just now was true?”
He looked at Wei Zheng playfully.
"Gulp…"
Wei Zheng swallowed hard.
The hot air was filled with awkwardness.
Wei Zheng said after a long time.
This scene was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
He had grabbed Li Shiming and attacked him, but now, he had counterattacked.
The damage output from before had become Judge's own club, smashing down on his own face.
But…how was that possible?
Wei Zheng could not figure out how this was done.
When Empress Zhangsun transformed, it was right under their noses. She definitely wouldn't fake it.
But…
Wei Zheng pursed his lips and took a deep breath.
His stiff eyes moved, and his gaze shifted from the ice to Li Shiming.
Qin Qiong, Yuchi Jingde, and Li Jing also looked at Li Shimin.
Their brains had yet to recover.
"Sigh…Xuancheng, you're too aggressive. Remember, things that you haven't seen before might not exist.”Zhangsun Wuji said with a smile.
"That's right. His Majesty has already reminded you several times just now, but you keep holding on to it. Look…how ugly is it?”Cheng Yaojin chuckled.
"Xuancheng, a gentleman keeps his word. If you're wrong, admit it, right?”Fang Xuanling agreed.
"Yes, yes, we can't lose both the people and the array! The Empress gave you several chances just now, but you didn't grasp them.”Du Ruhui said as he watched the show.
At this moment, the four of them finally spoke.
He looked at Wei Zheng and said with a smile.
" Your Majesty... Your Majesty... This... Gulp..."
Wei Zheng endured the shock in his heart. His expression was bitter as he said intermittently,
"This minister…This minister…This minister's knowledge is too short…Too short!”
"I…I admit my mistake!”
Wei Zheng's voice trembled. He no longer had the ability to attack like a machine gun.
The arrogance in his heart disappeared.
Right now, he wanted to know how this ice was conjured.
"Mistaken?"
"Now you admit your mistake?"
"Then what are you waiting for?"
"To serve tea."
"Also, please sit down. Dinner is about to start.”
Li Shi Min looked at Qin Qiong, Li Jing, and Yuchi Jing De who were standing beside him. The three of them were so shocked that they stood up immediately.
"Hahaha…"
"That's right, Xuancheng, pour the wine!!!”
Cheng Yaojin laughed and shouted,
"Pour some tea, pour some tea. Xuan Cheng, hurry up and move. When the service is done, I'll give you some money.”Fang Xuanling rolled up his sleeves and said excitedly.
Wei Zheng squeezed out a smile and quickly moved.
He served tea.
"Your Majesty, how did you make this ice?”
After filling Li Shimin's cup with tea, Wei Zheng couldn't help but ask,
"That's right, Your Majesty. How did this ice become? And the four of you, if you had known that the Empress would turn into ice, you would have told us in advance and made us worry.”
As Li Jing spoke, he glared at Zhangsun Wuji and the others.
If they had known that this was the case, they definitely wouldn't have stopped him just now.
"This ice."
"I don't know either."
"The King of Wei only told the Empress!"”
" Hehehe…"
Li Shi Min chuckled.
The King of Wei?
Wei Zheng was stunned.
Li Jing and the others were also stunned.
The Empress learned it from the King of Wei?
