I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters
Chapter 211 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey
The censor took a look at the golden Qiao Linxi, then looked at the jade pendant on her waist that was said to be made of a dragon, and spoke respectfully to the emperor.
"Qiao Linxi is a traitor. She wears a dragon-shaped jade pendant on her body. This is a heinous crime punishable by the death of her entire clan. She should be killed to demonstrate the majesty of the royal family. How can she be canonized as a princess?"
After someone took the lead, others followed suit and accused Qiao Linxi, all of them referring to the dragon-shaped jade pendant on her waist.
"Even if Qiao Linxi donated gold and silver to the national treasury, it cannot offset her crime. I beg the emperor to sentence her to death."
"Qiao Linxi is so rebellious, Master Qiao is guilty and should be punished together."
For a moment, Old Master Qiao and Qiao Linxi felt like they were being pushed onto a fire and roasted. Qiao Linxi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when she saw Gu Changfeng's eyes, she didn't say anything.
Gu Changfeng shook his head at her, signaling her not to speak. At this time, if Qiao Linxi opened her mouth to defend herself, she would be charged with treason.
Those pedantic old guys would definitely use Qiao Linxi's ignorance of the rules as an excuse. It was just a drop of water, but they could describe it as a vast ocean. They magnified a sesame seed infinitely, and finally turned it into a giant ball that could crush countless people.
The emperor listened to the words of the censors, and his face gradually turned cold. These bastards, can't he see Qiao Linxi's dragon-shaped jade pendant?
As the emperor, he did not hold Qiao Linxi accountable, so why are these people so active?
"Snapped!"
The emperor slammed the table, and the noise from below immediately stopped. For a moment, it was so quiet that it was frightening.
The leading censor saw that the emperor was angry, and looked triumphantly at the kneeling Qiao Linxi and Old Master Qiao beside him.
I thought to myself, see, the emperor is angry, and your Qiao family is finished.
Wearing a dragon-shaped jade pendant and defying the majesty of heaven, yet still hoping to receive a reward, you are dreaming.
"Have you said enough?"
The censor had not yet withdrawn his smug look when he heard these words that were filled with anger. He frowned, why did the tone of these words seem a little off?
"minister……"
The censor gritted his teeth and spoke, but before he could say a word, several memorials from the emperor's desk flew over and hit the censor accurately.
"You all keep saying that you want me to execute Qiao Linxi in order to maintain my dignity. Are you thinking I'm blind or are you questioning me and making decisions for me?"
The emperor was really angry. The jade pendant on Qiao Linxi was so big and hung in such a conspicuous place, but he didn't say anything, which meant he acquiesced.
These bastards jumping out to talk about this, aren't they just pretending that he was blind and didn't see it.
"How could I not see such a large jade pendant?"
"What? You are going to oppose something I acquiesced to. Why don't you take my throne?"
The official turned pale and knelt down: "I dare not, I deserve to die."
How could he be so confused? He just wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Master Qiao without thinking deeply.
"Lord Lin, you deserve to die for questioning the Emperor's decision."
As soon as Gu Changfeng opened his mouth, the censor felt a chill all over his body. His opening of the mouth meant that he had been sentenced to death.
He is confused!
Why didn’t I remember that the golden hairpin on Qiao Linxi’s head belonged to Gu Changfeng?
When those who had been clamoring loudly before saw Gu Changfeng speaking, they were so scared that they knelt down and begged for mercy.
They were not afraid of the emperor, but they were afraid of Gu Changfeng. Although Gu Changfeng was just a eunuch, his methods were more terrifying than the emperor's.
The emperor would also take other people's opinions into consideration when making decisions, fearing that he would lose the support of the people if he went too far.
Gu Changfeng would not care so much. He was a demon. If you offended him, you would be punished by killing all nine clans. Even the pigs of your cousins would not survive. No one in the nine clans, whether human or animal, would survive. Even if there was an egg, it would be smashed to prevent the chicks from hatching and leaving them alive.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Lord Lin wanted to plead with the emperor, as long as the emperor did not kill him, Gu Changfeng would not kill his entire clan.
But the emperor was really angry, and waved his hand: "Drag him away!"
He knew that he had to punish someone. If he chose to keep quiet, no one who had accused Qiao Linxi today would survive. They would all be killed by Gu Changfeng.
Although these bastards' words are irritating, if we kill them all, it will affect the foundation of the court. We can't kill them.
The guards outside the hall rushed in immediately and dragged Lord Lin out. Soon, a scream was heard, and then a guard came in carrying Lord Lin's head.
Lord Lin's eyes were still open, and blood was dripping all over the floor, which really shocked the rest of the people.
They are angry but dare not speak out. Gu Changfeng has already bypassed the emperor and made decisions for him. They are really worried that one day the emperor will become a puppet, and the entire Great Yue Kingdom will be ruled by a eunuch.
How would they face their ancestors in the underworld a hundred years later?
After taking a look at the head dripping with blood, the emperor closed his eyes, waved his hand, and asked the guards to leave.
Gu Changfeng continued to walk towards Qiao Linxi. "Princess Huaian, please accept the imperial edict."
"Thank you Lord for your kindness, long live your emperor."
Qiao Linxi stood up only after receiving the imperial edict. Gu Changfeng then took the golden medal of immunity from death from the tray of the eunuch behind him and handed it to Qiao Linxi.
Holding the heavy golden medal of immunity from death, Qiao Linxi breathed a sigh of relief. The golden medal of immunity from death was finally in his hands.
"Princess Huaian, you don't have a mansion in the capital yet? I will grant you one, and then let Manager Gu take care of it for you. The princess's court robes will also be sent along."
Qiao Linxi knelt down and declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I...I need to return to Lanqing City to take care of my brothers and sisters. I'm afraid I can't stay in the capital."
What a joke, staying in the capital to eat dirt? Although the princess would have a monthly salary, she didn't want to be a useless person who only eats and waits to die.
The world outside is so big, she wants to be an eagle soaring in the sky, instead of being locked up as a canary.
"Is that so? That's fine. Manager Gu, go and clean up the Princess's Mansion. When Princess Huai'an returns to the capital, she can move in directly."
Looking at Qiao Linxi, who was particularly favored by the emperor, the kneeling ministers secretly made up their minds not to offend her in the future.
After the court session ended, Qiao Linxi was about to leave, but was kept by the emperor.
Old Master Qiao had not been able to talk to Qiao Linxi. He had originally thought of taking her back to the Qiao family after retiring to get acquainted with the family members.
But she was kept by the emperor, so he didn't say much and left the palace amid the congratulations from everyone around him.
"Huaian, come with me to see the Queen Mother. She has heard me mention you, and she has been talking about wanting to meet you."
Queen Mother? The Emperor's mother, what are you doing seeing me?
Qiao Linxi responded obediently and followed the emperor out of the council hall.
