Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 109 Today’s court meeting was a little strange.

"Is this person really that strong?"

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.

"Yes." The official who responded was also full of thoughts and sighed. This made the team of court officials entering the palace become silent and quiet. Only the turning of wheels and the sound of horse hooves behind them slowly reached everyone's ears.

They stopped talking. No one knew the name of the Iron Judge before last night. However, he was able to kill the Prime Minister and a ninth-rank warrior under the protection of Jiang Feng, a worshiper of the Chen Alliance of Donghai County, and the Prime Minister's own guards. This unpredictable strength was evident and no further explanation was needed!
The Minister of Revenue Zhou Jing also did not mention the matter again. At this time, the sky was just beginning to brighten and people were most tired. There was a lot of noise in the team of officials, but the team was moving forward smoothly due to the tacit understanding they had built over the years, and there was no sign of chaos.

Suddenly, a tall official ignored the horrified looks of the crowd and shouted angrily, "This Iron Judge is just a name. His true identity is still unknown! In the palace, the Queen Mother and His Majesty, didn't they have any reaction? Whether it's Mr. Langtao or Her Excellency the Saint, no one has taken action to stop this man from committing the crime?"

"Seven families! Including the Prime Minister who was killed, that means eight families were massacred!"

"The Jinyi Guards and Jinwu Guards did nothing and let this man escape without any action. I will definitely report them!"

But no one responded to his words.

The man did not seem to have any problem with his expression. He turned around, looked directly into Zhou Jing's eyes and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Jiang Feng has been staying secretly in the Shangshu Mansion since he came to Beijing."

Everyone's eyes shifted to Zhou Jing, which made him pause.

With a cold face and cold mouth, his eyes could hardly hide a trace of fear. He lowered his voice and said softly, "Everyone, there were countless officials who requested to enter the palace for an audience last night. Was there anyone who was able to enter?"

The crowd was in turmoil, making a slight noise, which caused the accompanying eunuch to glance and give a silent warning before the team continued to move forward.

Countless eyes were looking at each other, exchanging information, but they all knew clearly in their hearts
"Can we just let this matter go? These are eight important officials in the court."

"This is why we went to war with Qing Kingdom, and such a bloody tragedy happened in the capital. It is truly a misfortune for our dynasty and for Great Qi!"

"Sir, what should we do next? Please feel free to speak up."

"Sir, please don't joke. There was a tragedy in the city. Even the Prime Minister is gone and there is no one to lead the officials. Naturally, we will do whatever His Majesty says." Zhou Jing glanced at the eunuch leading the way in front of him and said lightly, "I think His Majesty will also protect our safety and prevent the thieves from being rampant!"

This statement is an act of submission and submission.

But what else can we do?
They no longer have the strength to fight against the demon concubine.
Once the trick was used, the rule was broken! After they treated Concubine De in this way, they should have expected such revenge.

"Where in the world do so many ninth-rank warriors become thieves?" It was the tall official who spoke up. His words reminded everyone of the killer's identity. He snorted disdainfully, "Even if this person is not those two, the fact that there is no sign of rescue from the palace is enough to explain a lot!"

"Sir Zhou, even if you do nothing, I will write a letter to you directly!"

"It's up to you." Zhou Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, hiding the embarrassment and panic in his eyes. For a moment, the team returned to silence again.

Unlike what everyone thought, many people in the team were quite relaxed. They were not stupid. Now that Jin Weixian was dead and even Zhou Jing had given in, they didn't want to stay on this broken ship any longer. It was more important to surrender to His Majesty and Empress Defei as soon as possible!

No matter how many people died outside, as long as we are safe, it doesn’t matter.

This proved that the relationship between him and the Empress had not gone too far.

If necessary, if the tall official dared to meddle, they would not mind joining forces to send him off first!
People's reactions all confirm the saying: when the world is cruel to you, you endure it silently for a long time, and finally find that this cruelty will not gradually dissipate with the passage of time, but will become more severe; but if you are more cruel than the world, you will find that the world has become quiet!
This sentence also applies to Concubine De. She was fearless in playing by the rules before, but now that the war has started and the opponent is no longer playing soft with her, she can only swallow the bitter fruit of playing hard.

Imperial Palace, main hall.

As wave after wave of officials arrived and stood still, the time for the morning court session was getting closer. However, apart from the more armored and sword-carrying imperial guards than usual, there was not even a single eunuch capable of taking charge, let alone the presence of His Majesty.

There was no movement around, and everyone was shocked. They didn't dare to move. They quietly looked at the windows of the hall, fearing that they would see the figures of people passing by.
Everyone agreed that the person who killed the Prime Minister was sent by the Empress.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the Prime Minister was killed in his own villa not long after he suggested sending the beautiful girl into the palace?
In addition to the people from the other seven families who died last night, they were worried that the queen would go crazy and come to splatter blood all over the main hall today.
As time passed and the sun rose higher outside, His Majesty's figure finally arrived leisurely as if he was on a picnic.

“Hmm!!~~”

In Yong'an Palace, when Li An slowly woke up, he saw that the beauty beside him had left. He stretched lazily, got up and washed.

After a hasty breakfast, he asked outside, "Where's Xiao Gaozi?"

"Miss."

At the door of the room, a eunuch lowered his body and said respectfully, "Eunuch Zhao has left the palace to join the Jinyiwei. Now I am on duty in the palace."

"Yes." Li An stood up and walked over gracefully, making the eunuch who bowed his head feel a little nervous. "Is there any news from the main hall?"

"When Zhao Gao left, he told me to pay more attention to the news in the main hall. The person in front just replied that nothing major has happened. All the adults in the court are discussing the war on the front line."

"Nothing happened?"

Li An raised his eyebrows, "Oh, a bunch of old immortals"

Seeing that the young eunuch was shaking violently, he waved his hand and ordered, "Remind Gao Zhongxian and tell him that I need to go to the palace."

"Yes."

The young eunuch raised his head at this moment, intending to wave his hand to let the palace maid go in and clean up the table, but then he took a closer look at the clothes of Concubine De, and could not help but slightly open his lips and said in surprise: "Concubine De, are you wearing the wrong clothes? This is..."

"Ok?"

Li An's brows turned cold, and he stared at the eunuch with a fixed gaze. He said lazily, "You have a lot to say, but... just this once."

"Yes, yes, I understand. I will keep it in mind in the future."

With a swish, he quickly knelt on the ground without making any other sound.

It seems that this is the true teaching of Zhao Gao!
