"Say, say... they are just some slanderous words to slander His Majesty. It's okay for Your Majesty not to listen!"
The atmosphere in the main hall became even colder.
Di Yu pursed his thin lips tightly and uttered one word: "Say."
The Prime Minister gritted his teeth and his mind was racing, thinking about how to organize his words to alleviate some of the Emperor's anger.
Emperor Yu, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was impatient and his eyes were locked on Jiang Huaian behind the prime minister.
"Jiang Aiqing, you should know something about the fallacies that slander me. Tell me."
Jiang Shangshu was shocked when he was named, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have been dealing with the paperwork these days, and I am not aware of the rumors from the outside world."
Jiang Huaian took it out in a few words.
He knew the emperor's temper very well. If those unbearable fallacies came out of his mouth and angered Sheng Yan, would he still want his head? !
Jiang Huaian was indeed dealing with paperwork these days. Emperor Yu knew this and did not embarrass him, instead focusing on other officials.
Sensing an intimidating gaze coming from above their heads, the ministers stiffened and lowered their heads, fearing that Di Yu would kill them if he called their names.
"His Majesty!"
The Prime Minister was afraid that Di Yu would hurt others, so he hurriedly stopped his sight.
He mentioned this matter first, and he should bear His Majesty's wrath!
As the head of the civil service, His Majesty would not easily chop off his head even if he was annoyed with him.
Under the prime minister's exclamation, Di Yu turned his attention to him again.
"explain."
The Prime Minister gritted his teeth and spoke out all the words he had just organized.
"Because Your Majesty has had no heirs for these years, people from the other three countries have used this matter to slander Your Majesty, saying that Your Majesty injured his dragon root during his early battles... So, that's why the harem has been empty..."
"These words have reached the ears of the people. Now the capital is in turmoil because of these words. Your Majesty, the heirs cannot be delayed!!"
After the prime minister finished speaking, he lowered his head severely, waiting to bear Emperor Yu's anger.
"Ah."
Di Yu rested his temple with one hand, and tapped the table in front of him with his other hand.
In the main hall where a pindrop could be heard, his soft voice reached the ears of everyone present clearly.
In the main hall, the courtiers and palace people knelt on the ground, hanging their heads, wishing they could find a mouse's nest to crawl into!
Even Eunuch Su, who had been serving Emperor Yu, was worried about the prime minister.
Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me!
This is the voice of everyone present.
Emperor Yu made a soft noise and then said nothing. In the huge Jinluan Palace, only the sound of fingertips tapping on the table was still ringing, which made everyone feel uneasy.
He knelt on the ground stiffly, waiting for the torture.
After a long time, Di Yu finally spoke again.
"Find out those who spread rumors one by one, behead them in public, and hang their heads above the city gate!"
"I want all the people in the capital to take a closer look at the consequences of listening to slander and fabricating slander!"
"yes!"
All the ministers responded in unison and breathed a sigh of relief.
After Emperor Yu issued his decree, he stood up, rolled up his sleeves and left.
"Retreat from the court——"
Eunuch Su shouted in the hall and hurriedly followed Di Yu.
It wasn't until Emperor Yu's figure disappeared from the Jinluan Palace that everyone's frozen blood began to flow again.
They were slumped on the ground, where was the majesty of the past?
So, so terrible!
They wanted the rumors outside to go away, so they began to press the issue of the heir step by step.
But he almost forgot how ruthless the emperor was. He was a man who could even kill his brothers!
Pressing harder and harder against him, don't you want your head anymore? !
The ministers fell to the ground and took a few deep breaths. After their limp bodies had some strength, they got up from the ground.
Jiang Jingyu's father, Jiang Huaian, stood up, took two steps forward, and stretched out his hand towards the prime minister on the ground.
The prime minister wiped the sweat from his temples, raised his arms, and stood up with Jiang Huaian's strength.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, you are too aggressive today! Once you anger His Majesty, you will be killed!"
The Prime Minister also realized at this moment that he had been a little rash just now, and swallowed his saliva with lingering fear.
"It's me, I'm too anxious."
Jiang Huaian sighed.
"We have been advising His Majesty about the issue of heirs for more than a day or two. After so many years, there is still no movement in the harem. If we mention it a little bit every day, Your Majesty will naturally take it to heart."
"Why did you press so hard and almost risk your own life?"
The Prime Minister anxiously patted his thigh: "Oh, Jiang Shangshu, the rumors about Your Majesty are getting more and more intense now, and I don't want to take such a risky move, but if I don't force Your Majesty, how can I stop the public from talking about it? ah!"
If there are only three or five people who spread rumors, that's it. They can just find them and kill them. But now the situation is getting worse and worse, and it is beyond their control.
They can stop the mouths of three or five people, but they can't stop the mouths of many people!
Jiang Huaian also knew the seriousness of the matter, but now that they had angered His Majesty, in order to appease the emperor's anger, they had no choice but to let the matter go.
The Prime Minister sighed, as if he had aged ten years again.
"For God's sake, just open your eyes and let some noise come from the harem, even just one person!"
As long as an imperial heir is born, the rumors outside will be self-defeating.
The Prime Minister staggered out of the Jinluan Palace. Behind him, Jiang Huaian's eyebrows were furrowed and filled with worry.
I wonder how Wanwan has been in the palace these past two days. Has she been bullied? Were you punished?
This irritating girl has to wade into the murky waters of the harem. The harem is complicated and His Majesty has a cruel temper. How can he do it with peace of mind!
The night breeze is blowing.
The atmosphere in the Yangxin Hall was very depressing.
Emperor Yu was furious in the Jinluan Palace today, and now the people in the palace don't even dare to take a breath.
He was cautious in everything, for fear of offending Emperor Yu.
Di Yu, who was sitting in front of the desk processing the memorial, raised his eyes to look at the sky outside the window, got up and walked out of the palace.
When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and looked down at the imperial uniform he was wearing.
"Bring me some civilian clothes."
Under the service of the palace servants, Emperor Yu took off his imperial clothes and put on civilian clothes.
He lowered his head and looked at the plain clothes on his body before continuing to walk out of the hall.
Emperor Yu came to the piano room again. Under his orders, the piano room that could only use the moonlight now turned on the lights.
He walked straight towards the inner room.
Jiang Jingyu, who rushed over, was stunned when he saw the brightly lit piano room.
Is there anyone in the piano room tonight?
She stopped in place for a while, but did not hear the sound of the piano, so she continued to move forward to investigate.
After making sure that no one was in the piano room, Jiang Jingyu opened the door and entered with confidence.
Today, the piano room was brightly lit, and Jiang Jingyu could see the layout of the piano room.
She looked around the piano room and came to Duyou Qin.
Just as he was about to practice the piano, there was a rustling of footsteps outside the door.
"Who broke into the piano room without permission!"
The guard's stern voice sounded outside the door, and Jiang Jingyu was shocked!
"Holy shit, shit, shit!"
Jiang Jingyu uttered "fuck" three times in a row and hurriedly looked for a hiding place.
Seeing the fire outside the door getting closer and closer, Jiang Jingyu caught a door that was ajar.
She rushed towards the inner room without thinking!
