Chapter 227 So shameless
Just as he was about to turn around and leave——

"Prime Minister, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Why don't you stay and let's have a good talk?" Bai Qianxi looked at the person in front of her playfully, with an unprecedented smile on her face.

"You! Why are you here!" Li Zhuo was panicked for a moment when he saw her, but then he quickly calmed down, with a ferocious look on his face, "When did you come? How much did you hear?"

"Of course I heard everything I should have heard." Bai Qianxi's expression was calm, as if she was not frightened by him at all.

To be honest, Li Zhuo admired her a little. She dared to stay after hearing such a big thing and didn't leave quietly. "But if that's the case, I'm afraid today..."

It's really a shame to keep you here.

Before the prime minister finished speaking, several figures appeared from behind Bai Qianxi, their movements were synchronized, and it was obvious that they had planned it in advance.

When he saw that there were so many people here besides Bai Qianxi, especially when he saw the bright yellow figure, Prime Minister Li's face turned pale instantly.

"I don't know what the Prime Minister wants to say. I am curious too." Emperor Dongli spoke calmly, but everyone present knew it.

Beneath the other person's calm expression, there was a huge storm surging.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Just as Li Zhuo was about to speak in response to Emperor Dongli's questioning, a loud shout rang out.

Ye Beiling struggled to turn over and sit up on the bed, and Bai Qianxi also moved quickly at this moment.

After a few flashes of cold light, the person who was about to attack became stiff and completely unable to move!
"My subordinates have failed in their guarding. Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Thirteen knelt on the ground the moment the murderer was subdued.

It turned out that the murderer, seeing that his mission was impossible to succeed, paid a huge price to avoid Thirteen attacks in order to attack Emperor Dongli!
"Get up, it's not your fault now."

After a brief moment of surprise, Emperor Dongli suddenly understood and spoke gently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Thirteen quickly stood up and stood quietly aside.

Seeing that the crisis was resolved, Ye Beiling breathed a sigh of relief, but his actions were seen by everyone present.

Emperor Dongli felt even warmer at the sight of this. "Third brother, it's good that you have this intention. Lie down quickly. You still need to rest."

"Don't worry, father. It won't be a big problem if I move my body for a while." Ye Beiling remained in the same position with a smile on his face.

"What's more, the most important thing now is..." Ye Beiling turned his gaze to the person standing beside him, "Prime Minister, I wonder how I have offended you that you have to spend so much effort to deal with me?"

As Ye Beiling brought up this topic, the atmosphere in the room fell silent again.

Everyone instantly looked at the prime minister with scrutiny.

"Prime Minister, how dare you attack the prince? What do you want?" The Zhao family's uncle spoke at this time. Although he did not finish his words, everyone understood what he meant.

As a high-ranking official of the current dynasty, he dared to take action against the prince. Is there any other possibility besides wanting to rebel?

In an instant, the looks of the people present became increasingly strange.

"I'm not! Don't talk nonsense!" Li Zhuo quickly denied it, "In fact, you all really misunderstood me. I just said that for the good of His Highness the Third Prince."

Knowing that what he just said was heard by these people, Li Zhuo did not deny it.

He just explained, "Just now I was threatened by that thief, who told me that if I didn't do as he said, he would kill my whole family." "Although I am not afraid of life or death, my family members are innocent."

"Ever since I was threatened, I have been trying to get a message out, but unfortunately I have never found an opportunity, which is why we are in this situation now."

"At the critical moment of life and death, it was my fault for not putting Your Highness's safety first. However, I believed that there must be someone by Your Highness' side to protect His Highness's safety, so I had no choice but to do so."

"But if it happens again, even if my whole family dies under the knife of that thief, I will never bring danger to Your Highness again!"

As he spoke, Li Zhuo even wiped away a tear, looking particularly sincere.

But unless the people present were fools, they would not believe such outrageous words.

As if he was afraid that the crowd would not be able to accept it, the Prime Minister continued to add, "Your Majesty, all the mistakes are mine alone. Please only punish me if you want to..."

"At the same time, I also ask Your Majesty not to make public the stupid things I have done, otherwise it would be a disgrace to my students if they heard about it."

After saying this, he knelt down deeply, tears streaming down his face, looking particularly pitiful.

The corners of everyone's mouth twitched slightly. This old man is really shameless!

Following his words, everyone's attention began to turn to the other side. The so-called murderer had already committed suicide by taking poison the moment he was arrested.

What they saw now was just a dead body. There was no evidence, so naturally he could speak whatever he wanted!
The most important thing is that he even dared to threaten them!
After all, the only reason they knew Li Zhuo's true identity today was because they happened to hear him say it himself here.

Just based on this, even if all of them knew the truth, they would not be able to convict the other party.

After all, in addition to them, they must also give an explanation to the people of the world, and the most important thing is the group of students mentioned by the other party.

Li Zhuo has countless disciples and their power is complicated. If they rashly convict people without solid evidence, people all over the world will think that the court is punishing ministers on trumped-up charges.

Once such rumors spread, it would be a huge blow to Dongli's entire country!

Emperor Dongli could also think of what everyone else could think of, which made his face even uglier.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the person kneeling in front of him, "Are you threatening me?"

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about? I would never dare to threaten Your Majesty. I just hope Your Majesty will be merciful and not implicate my family." The Prime Minister prostrated himself on the ground and spoke respectfully, but what he said was something that all of them knew very well.

"So you really think there is no evidence?" Just when everyone's faces looked ugly, Ye Beiling's slightly hoarse voice sounded.

The injuries on his body did have a certain impact on him, but this did not prevent him from speaking.

"Thirteen."

In less than a moment, a broken arrow was taken out and placed in front of the prime minister. "Why don't you take a look at this thing? Do you think it looks familiar to you?"

"This?" The prime minister stared blankly at the broken arrow in front of him. He could recognize the familiar material at a glance.

But how could this kind of arrow appear here?

Could it be those idiots?
Didn’t he say that we can’t use any special weapons?

His thoughts turned in a thousand circles, but he didn't show it on the surface. He still looked puzzled, "I wonder what Your Highness means?"
