LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 78
The next day in the Northern Qi Dynasty, as the morning light faded, there was a regular court meeting.
The atmosphere today was a little strange. On the way here, not many people came forward to flatter Shen Yuan. Instead, they whispered to each other, not knowing what they were talking about.
When Shen Yuan approached them, they hurriedly saluted.
"Meet the Prime Minister..."
After that, there was a hasty escape.
In the Jinluan Hall, Empress Qianrou was yawning on the dragon chair.
"If you have something to report, you can leave the court if nothing else happens. You can leave other complicated matters to the Prime Minister."
"Your Majesty! I have something important to report!" Gao Juezhen stepped forward and said, "I have something important to report to Your Majesty!"
"What did Yang Aiqing do?"
Gao Juezhen's mouth twitched.
"Your Majesty, my surname is Gao."
"Oh, that's about it. What does Gao Aiqing have to say?"
"My lord, I am suing the Prime Minister Shen Yuan for feeding demons!!"
Suddenly, the entire court was silent, and you could hear a needle drop.
Then, like a bolt from the blue, civil and military officials were chattering and discussing.
Shen Yuan and other Shen Party officials were sweating coldly. Even if they supported Shen Yuan, if they were found to be related to the demon in Northern Qi, they would be punished by the Nine Tribes!
Even Qianrou looked at Shen Yuan in astonishment.
"Father, you... feed a demon?"
Shen Yuan took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is a lie. I am loyal to the Northern Qi Dynasty. I can tell by the sun and the moon. How could I feed a demon?"
Qianrou nodded and turned to Gao Juezhen.
"Gao Aiqing, is there any misunderstanding? I also think it is impossible for Xiangfu to feed a demon. Is there something wrong?"
"Your Majesty!" Gao Juezhen refused to give in, "I even know who the demon Shen Yuan is feeding is!"
Shen Yuan looked at him, but Gao Juezhen just sneered and continued.
"That person, no, I should say, that demon, is your capable subordinate You Ruo, right or wrong?"
Qianrou was so excited that she stood up from the dragon chair.
"Father, are you really feeding demons?! If that's really the case, I...I..."
"Your Majesty!" Gao Juezhen's voice was deafening, "According to our regulations in the Northern Qi Dynasty, those who feed monsters should kill the nine tribes!"
Shen Yuan also said with the same volume: "Your Majesty, I did not raise demons! This is a false accusation."
"Hmph! You said it was a false accusation? You are still insisting on your words even when you are about to die!" Gao Juezhen said, "Then do you dare to confront me in court?"
"Why don't you dare?"
"Okay! Your Majesty, please appoint someone from the Demon Suppression Department to go to the Shen family to capture Youruo, and bring her here to identify her in court!"
"This..." The empress hesitated.
Although she didn't want to believe that her father-in-law could feed demons, she couldn't help but hesitate a little when she saw Gao Juezhen swearing so confidently.
If Mr. Xiangfu really feeds demons, how should I deal with it?
"Your Majesty! How can the important matter of raising demons be considered a trivial matter?" Gao Juezhen continued, "Bring Youruo here, won't all the truth be revealed?"
"Then... let's do it... come here, Xuanzhen Yaosi!"
Among the civil and military officials, Lord Shen Dang Wang, the core, secretly came behind Shen Yuan and spoke softly in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them.
"Prime Minister, are you really feeding demons?"
"Not bad." Shen Yuan admitted readily.
Lord Wang was sweating, but seeing Shen Yuan's calm expression, he seemed to have thought of something.
"My lord, are you planning to refuse to admit it? That's right, even if her identity as a monster is exposed, as long as you insist that you didn't know about it and she was the one who deceived you, based on your relationship with Her Majesty the Empress, the Empress will definitely give you a lighter punishment. "
Shen Yuan just showed a meaningful smile.
For some reason, Gao Juezhen felt a little uneasy when he saw Shen Yuan's weird smile.
It shouldn't be. The information I got from Wei Qingqing can't be wrong. Moreover, many of the officials in the court are monks. Whether they are human or demon, you can tell at a glance!
Shen Yuan feeds the demon, he must be at the end of his game!
No one can protect him from the crime of feeding monsters!
Not even with his status as Prime Minister!
At this time, the people from the Demon Suppression Division had already broken into Shen's house. Youruo was about to resist, but the next words of the Demon Suppression Division made You Ruo completely despair.
"I am Qiu Lin, Master of the Shuangjiang Mirror of the Department of Demon Suppression. I am now conducting a thorough investigation into Prime Minister Shen Yuan's feeding of demons. I have been ordered by His Majesty to come here to capture Youruo and bring her to the court for identification!"
"Hey, who is You Ruo?"
At this time, Youruo's mind went blank.
The master's secret of feeding demons was exposed.
The secret that the master had secretly raised for twelve years was completely exposed.
In Northern Qi, she didn't need anyone to tell her what would happen to the demon clan once their identity was discovered.
No wonder the master said those words to him yesterday.
If he abandons himself one day, will he blame him...
Master, had you anticipated that such a day would come?
That's right... After his demon clan identity is exposed, the most important thing the master needs to do is to distance himself from the relationship, right? Put all the blame on yourself, saying that the identity of the demon clan is deliberately concealed by yourself and has nothing to do with the master...
"Why are you so scared?" Qiu Lin smiled coldly, "It seems you are Youruo, right?"
"There is no evil spirit. It seems that he is wearing some magic weapon that can shield the evil spirit..."
Immediately, Qiu Lin grabbed Youruo's hand and took off her ring.
"That's it, right?"
The moment she took off the ring, Qiu Lin felt a demonic aura.
"It is indeed a monster, take it away."
Youruo swallowed in despair.
He had just received the Thousand Illusion Spirit Pupils as a reward from his master, but he still had so many things to do, and he had yet to touch the legendary upper realm...
Now, is it all over?
In an instant, Youruo lost all hope. She did not dare to resist. If she resisted, it might bring greater disaster to the Shen family.
……
Above the court, looking at Shen Yuan's calm look, Gao Jue's anger didn't come out.
Your secret of feeding monsters has been exposed, why are you still pretending to be calm?
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, are you thinking about your last words before your death?"
Shen Yuan glanced at him lightly.
"The truth is, I am carefully selecting a suitable cemetery for Mr. Gao. After all, falsely accusing the Prime Minister is a capital crime."
Gao Juezhen said contemptuously.
"The Prime Minister has a really tough mouth. I just don't know if you can still say these words when the Demon Suppression Division brings you Na You Ruo."
At this moment, Youruo was taken to the Jinluan Palace by Qiu Lin.
And Youruo's magical weapon has been taken off by Qiu Lin. Just standing here at this moment, all the civil and military officials can feel her evil spirit!
Demon! It's a demon!
Shen Yuan feeds the demon!
"Qiu Lin, Master of the Frostfall Mirror, comes to meet Her Majesty the Empress!"
You Ruo also quickly knelt down.
"Youruo, a common girl, comes to see Your Majesty."
"Be flat!"
At this time, Gao Juezhen said with a long smile.
"We have been brought here, Prime Minister, what else do you have to say?"
You Ruo closed her eyes in despair and waited quietly for the judgment from her master.
Based on his understanding of his master, at this time, he would definitely blame everything on himself without hesitation.
Just say that he didn't know anything about it, and that I, You Ruo, hid everything from the outside world and used my demon body to pretend to be a human being.
Even if the master doesn't do this, I can't drag him into the water!
Thinking of this, You Ruo took the initiative to speak, ready to take all the blame, saying that she was the one who deceived Shen Yuan, and Shen Yuan didn't know about it.
"Actually, Master, I..."
"Shut up!" Shen Yuan interrupted her, "Have you been asked to speak? In the Jinluan Hall, the empress is the most respected, how can you speak?"
Youruo quickly lowered his head, gritted his silver teeth slightly, and endured the grievance.
