Chapter 260: Your Majesty will not blame me for interfering in other people’s affairs, right?
The light from the imperial study shone on Zongkui and Beisu from behind.
Zong Kui's words made Bei Su feel quiet.
Su Jixue treats Zongkui differently?
Although Bei Su had absolute admiration for their master, he couldn't agree with what he heard.
Is it possible that Ji Xue's character is something she cannot let go of?
The look Su Jixue gave her just now was filled with cold murderous intent, and her eyes were full of the wish to grind Zong Kui into ashes.
Is the master's understanding of that glance a little too paranoid? !
"I'm asking you." There was an inexplicable evil charm in the cold smile on Zong Kui's lips, and there was also an indescribable sinisterness.
Bei Su frowned, then relaxed his brows: "Master, you should think about how to leave safely."
Zong Kui's smile froze, his whole body turned cold, and he said indifferently: "She has already died once."
Zong Kui didn't say anything else.
All their grievances ended with Ji Xue's death.
Be it the Four Houses or the elders, this time they could no longer force Zongkui to do anything.
"Master, precisely because she has died before, she will not give up." Beisu stretched out his hand, and Su Jixue cut off his thumb without hesitation, which destroyed Beisu's possibility of holding the sword with both hands.
And this was originally Beisu's forte.
"It is also my honor." Zong Kui was at least very sure that he had an absolutely very high position in Su Jixue's heart.
It is even possible that the hatred exceeds that of the War King.
In the darkness of the night, Zong Kui's expression was somewhat inexplicable. The noble aura and sinisterness emanating from his bones coexisted, revealing a special temperament that belonged only to him.
"Master..." Bei Su's heart sank. He felt that after the massacre, his master's feelings towards Ji Xue seemed even more inexplicable.
In fact, it was even more terrifying than they had worried about before.
After all, Zong Kui would never have shown this clearly before. Now that Zong Kui was acting this way, it was certain, and even if he couldn't say it out loud, it wouldn't change anything.
"All this king requires is obedience, not questioning," Zong Kui said in a cold voice.
Only after losing something do you know what you should not lose.
Zong Kui will not let the same thing happen again. What he needs to plan carefully now is how to survive, and... There was a light flickering in Zong Kui's sinister and cold eyes.
In the Golden Palace, all the court officials had already read the contract, and the terms on it were definitely beneficial to Dong Chu.
Although it was dark at night, the king and his ministers were somewhat excited. They might be the only ones in the entire history of Dongchu who could sign such a contract with Nanqing.
Everyone is witnessing history.
However, there were also people in the crowd who looked pale and dazed, and they were also worried whether their names would be on the list.
When Su Jixue and King Zhan returned to the Golden Palace, all eyes turned to them.
"Not guilty, what's the matter?" Even Emperor Ming couldn't help but ask.
The War King waved the folded paper, his eyes scanning Chaochen's face one by one with a cold gaze: "The list of those who colluded with the enemy during the Gu'an Battle is now in my hands."
By candlelight, everyone could see that the paper was densely covered with words.
"Are you afraid?"
The War King sat in a wheelchair, looking as noble and arrogant as if he was looking down on others. His narrow and cold eyes were like the cracks in a high cliff and a deep valley, deep and unfathomable, with no bottom.
His eyes were as cold as a knife, and whenever he looked at someone, it was as if a steel knife was cutting across his face.
The originally noisy Golden Palace suddenly became quiet.
Emperor Ming also saw the densely written words on the paper, and his eyes were filled with shock and anger. He had originally thought that even if there were people, they would only be a few. But now it seemed that there was more than that. Zong Kui had shaken the foundation of Dong Chu.
"Let me see." Emperor Ming's face was as dark as water.
Immediately, a young eunuch came to Prince Zhan and respectfully took the list to show Emperor Ming.
"There are a total of 142 people above. Those of you who have done something wrong may have to write a letter of apology." This was the first time that the War King had said so many words. His magnetically cold voice was indifferent and thin, revealing a frightening threat.
"As for the severity of your crimes, you all know it in your hearts. This king will see how much you repent."
The War King opened his thin lips slightly, with straight corners of his lips and an expressionless face.
Even Prime Minister Zhuang couldn't tell whether the King of War was happy or angry.
The more this happened, the more shocked everyone became.
After all, the War King is the kind of person who can massacre the capital in a rage.
Emperor Ming's breathing gradually became heavier. The list of names and the reasons for their official positions on the paper were clearly written, as if he was afraid that the ruler and ministers of Dongchu would not know who the people on the list were and what crimes they had committed. Even an interrogation by the Ministry of Justice would be no more than this.
Clear and clear.
Evil intentions.
If the above is true, there will be great turmoil in the court of Dongchu.
If it was a forgery, the identity, contact and token of trust would not be written in such detail.
"Brother, this is a serious matter. I have overstepped my authority." After warning the ministers, King Zhan began to apologize to Emperor Ming.
Emperor Ming's hands trembled slightly, and he was already furious before he finished reading.
Even if the Queen Mother was ruling, even if she was being held hostage, it was still the court of Dongchu. But what was on this list? From the capital, the provinces along the way, and even within the northern borders, involving the six ministries and local tyrants, each important name seemed to mock the entire Dongchu. In reality, so many people were just running dogs of Nanqing.
Yes, it can only be a running dog.
After use, it is discarded by the owner without hesitation.
"I allow Prince Zhan to handle this matter with full authority." Emperor Ming took a deep breath and threw the list on the table.
There was silence.
The War King's methods are thunderous and ruthless, and these words represent the bloody storm that is about to come in Dongchu.
"Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and still needs to be verified." Prime Minister Zhuang said with cold sweat on his forehead.
"Verify?"
Zong Kui's voice suddenly reached from outside the Golden Palace, his sneer filled with ridicule: "Prime Minister Zhuang, are you questioning the authenticity of the list I gave you?"
When Zong Kui was pushed into the Golden Palace, a gust of autumn wind blew in.
"Don't worry, the list I've provided is quite sincere. Not only does it include specific names, but it also includes the time and details of all the handovers." Zong Kui looked at Prime Minister Zhuang meaningfully. "If you have any questions, I can provide you with relevant tokens after I draw it."
Zong Kui's eyes finally fell on Su Jixue: "In order to seek Miss Su's forgiveness, this king has really gone to great lengths."
It was clearly a normal negotiation and exchange, but Zong Kui inexplicably created a somewhat ambiguous atmosphere.
Prime Minister Zhuang's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly lifted his court robe and knelt on the spot: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and may disrupt the foundation of the Eastern Chu State. This old minister earnestly requests that the Queen Mother attend the court."
When Prime Minister Zhuang knelt, a group of people immediately followed suit: "Your Majesty, we implore the Empress Dowager to come to court and make the decision together."
