Medical concubine in power

Chapter 268

Under the shroud of sunshine, the whole capital became hot, even the palace was no exception.

At this time, the Golden Luan Hall was still full of ministers.Several ministers were standing in the center of the hall, their waists were slightly bent, and they placed the wat board in front of them.Time passed by every minute and every second, but without Mu Jiaci's permission, they didn't dare to move for a moment.

Sweat soaked the court clothes on their bodies, and even a lot of sweat appeared on their faces, condensed in one place and dripped to the ground. In the silent hall, this slight voice became even more special. clear.

Mu Jiaci sat on the dragon chair, propped his right elbow on his thigh, and supported his chin with his right hand. He frowned slightly and looked down at the trembling ministers below.

This morning, what he did not expect was that on the way to the palace, the ministers had already heard the news that the four of them, Mu Jiayu, would be beheaded at noon.Therefore, at the beginning of the morning court, someone pleaded for Mu Jiayu.However, it was precisely because of this reason that the killing intent towards Mu Jiayu in his heart became stronger.

He is just delaying time now, when Mu Jiayu is dead, even if these ministers want to continue pleading, there is no other way.Thinking of this, a mocking smile appeared on Mu Jiaci's face.

"Your Majesty, in the past few years, the Five Princes have made great contributions in repelling the Japanese pirates several times. In this court, the only thing that the pirates are taboo about is the Five Princes. Moreover, I believe that there is no reason for Tianyang Kingdom to send Princess Tianxiang to our court. What kind of heart is An, the fifth princess killed her, that is to eliminate harm for the people. What's more, since the fifth princess has found a substitute, she can naturally deceive people's eyes and ears."

Just after the Golden Luan Hall had been silent for a long time, footsteps resounded in the hall again.The voice of Bai Cheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also sounded later.

Mu Jiaci frowned, his face was full of displeasure.He opened his mouth, and was about to stop drinking, but Bai Cheng acted as if he didn't notice the abnormality at all, and continued to speak first.

"Your Majesty, if something happens to the Fifth Prince, I'm afraid it will be in line with the wishes of the Japanese pirates! At that time, if Tianyang Kingdom sends troops to attack our Ming Shun Dynasty again, please ask yourself, who is there in our court?" General, can you return triumphantly every time like the Fifth Prince?"

Bai Cheng spoke so quickly that Mu Jiaci couldn't get in a word for a while.The displeasure and affection on his face became more and more intense, and even the eyes that looked at Bai Cheng were full of killing intent.

He was about to call the Imperial Guards to take Bai Cheng down, but at this moment, a black figure, led by the Imperial Forest Army, almost got up and flew towards the Golden Luan Hall.

His frown became tighter and tighter, forming a deep "Chuan" character between his brows.Even though the distance was far away, he recognized the official who ran over at a glance through the clothes on his body. It was a prison officer.A bad premonition slowly formed in his heart.

His attention has been completely attracted, so the words that he wanted to say to drag Bai Cheng away were swallowed by him and disappeared without a trace.

"Report to the emperor." In just a moment, the prison officer had already ran to the center of the hall, and knelt down in the direction of Mu Jiaci from a distance.His status is not good, so he doesn't have the right to get too close to Mu Jiaci.But even so, his words were still heard clearly in Mu Jiayu's ears, "The criminal, Lord Rui, and Mr. Xie have already served their sentence."

Hearing such words, Mu Jiaci immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even the whole person felt a lot more relaxed.But soon, one of his hearts was raised again.

If nothing happened, then why did the prison officer have to work so hard to come here to report to him?
With such thoughts, his heart clenched tightly again, and there was a bit of scrutiny in his eyes when he looked at the prison officer.

The prison officer kneeling on the ground felt Mu Jiaci's gaze on him, and his body couldn't help shaking violently, but he still had the courage to tell the truth in a trembling voice, "Chen...Chen I don't know exactly what happened, but the scene suddenly became chaotic, and by the time I realized it, the criminal Fifth Prince and Fifth Princess had disappeared..."

The prison officer's voice became weaker and weaker due to lack of confidence. Even though the last few words were not heard clearly, Mu Jiaci still understood the general meaning in his heart.Anger was burning fiercely in his heart, and it even made him feel extremely depressed.

Suddenly, he grabbed the exquisite inkstone on the desk and threw it straight in the direction of the prison officer.

Fortunately, the prison officer was far away, so the inkstone just fell in front of him.The ink in the inkstone that had been ground by Eunuch Xu suddenly splashed all over the ground in black as the inkstone fell to the ground.

All the officials fell silent in fright at this moment, even they couldn't tell whether the sweat on their foreheads was cold sweat or sweat from being too hot.

However, despite this, the angry expression on Mu Jiaci's face still did not change at all.He jumped up against the case, and pointed his finger in the direction of the prison officer without any politeness, "What are you still doing?! The prisoners have escaped, why don't you hurry to find them?!"

The officials looked at each other in blank dismay, and responded obediently.However, before they could take any action, a familiar deep voice rang in their ears.Different from Mu Jiaci's anger, the owner of this voice was full of confidence, "You don't need to look for it, am I right here?"

All the people looked in the direction of the source of the voice, and saw that Mu Jiayu had appeared outside the Golden Luan Hall at some point, and now he was holding Xie Muyan's hand, stepping up the stairs step by step, Shi Shi walked over.With that calm appearance, it seemed that he completely regarded the guards guarding next to him as a decoration.

"Are you blind? Why don't you take him down quickly?!" Mu Jiaci only felt angry.He pointed at the Imperial Forest Army standing outside the hall and cursed loudly.

It wasn't until they received Mu Jiaci's order that the imperial guards began to move.They pulled out the swords around their waists, but before their swords touched Xie Muyan or Mu Jiayu, Mu Jiayu picked up their swords at a faster speed and knocked Xie Muyan away. Yan hugged her tightly in her arms, leaving a series of scars on the body of the imperial guards.

He continued to walk forward, his steps still steady.The obstruction of the imperial guards had no effect on him at all.

Mu Jiaci saw that he was getting closer and closer to him, and even got rid of the entanglement of the imperial guards, his face suddenly turned pale, and even the hand on the table was shaking non-stop at this time because of the anxiety in his heart. trembling.

"Mu Jiaci." Walking in front of Mu Jiaci, Mu Jiayu opened his mouth calmly.However, his address to Mu Jiaci is not "Second Brother", let alone "Emperor", but by his first name.His disrespectful behavior immediately caused an uproar among the ministers, and there was some inconceivable color in the eyes they looked at Mu Jiayu.

As if he didn't hear the surrounding voices, Mu Jiayu continued to speak, "Thank you for controlling the government for this king for so many years, but this king thinks that you should step aside."

Suddenly, a new round of more intense discussions erupted among the crowd because of his arrogant words.And Mu Jiayu, after saying this, also held Xie Muyan's right hand slightly tighter.

The expression on Mu Jiaci's face kept changing because of his words.But Mu Jiayu obviously wouldn't give him a chance to fight back, so he raised his voice and continued to speak.The loud voice immediately overwhelmed the discussions of the officials.

"Back then, before the first emperor was critically ill, he clearly wanted to pass the throne to this king, but on the way back to the palace, you sent someone to assassinate this king, causing this king to fall off his horse. This king knew that he was no match for you at that time. That's why I asked the imperial physician to release the false news that the king has lost his penis, just to survive."

As soon as his words fell, Mu Jiaci's mouth burst into a burst of laughter, and tears even appeared in the corners of his eyes.He managed to stop his laughter, wiped away the crystal tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Mu Jiayu with a bit of sarcasm in his panic.

"Mu Jiayu, you keep saying that I stole the throne that should belong to you, so you have evidence? Don't tell me, you only have these few words to prove it. If that's the case, don't say it's me. , even the civil and military officials, as well as the tens of millions of ordinary people, cannot be convinced!"

Mu Jiaci's words were so high-sounding that even some officials who privately hoped that Mu Jiayu could ascend to the throne couldn't help turning their eyes to Mu Jiayu, sized him up constantly, and kept guessing in their hearts that he would be able to ascend the throne. Do you really come up with any evidence?

Faced with Mu Jiaci's questioning and sarcasm, as well as the curious eyes of civil and military officials, Mu Jiayu remained calm.As if he had expected Mu Jiaci to say that, he stretched his right hand to his lips, and a whistle sounded from the place where he touched it.

A black figure suddenly appeared at the door of the Golden Luan Hall.Even before the imperial guards could react, they had already strode towards Mu Jiayu's side.

A well-preserved bright yellow cloth was also pulled out from his arms at this time.

The courtiers who were still discussing enthusiastically all shut up when they saw this piece of cloth, and the Golden Luan Hall suddenly fell into silence again.Their eyes were also full of surprise.After many years in the court, they still knew that the bright yellow thing in Wanjing's hand was the imperial decree!

"This chapter is unique to the late emperor. The ministers all know the matter, and you must know it."
