Quick Transmigration: Hosts, We're Only Responsible for Counterattacking

Chapter 59 A Lifetime of Glory and Peace (28)

Everyone in the hall twitched at the corners of their mouths, disbelieving in their hearts. They felt that Princess Rong'an was becoming increasingly absurd, daring to act like this in such a solemn place, which showed that she had a bad character.

Shen Xiang was initially intimidated and remained silent, but after recovering, he stepped forward with disdain in his eyes.

Shen Yun could understand his behavior. He probably colluded with Nangong Yu for some reason to try to bring Gu Changjin down. Nangong Yu was really quite capable; at least Prime Minister Shen had been quite loyal to him before.

2345: [Guess why?]

Shen Yun was speechless. "Wait until you get the complete script before you try to pull this on me. What don't I know after all these years?"

[This is a reference to the Hundred Flowers Banquet...]

Ha, one day I'll pluck all your hair and turn you into a bald blob.

“Princess, please don’t joke.” He looked around. “The ministers are discussing matters of great importance concerning the foundation of the state. How can a mere woman like you interfere?”

Shen Yun tilted her head, looking innocent and naive. "Is this how Prime Minister Shen views women? I am still a princess and yet I am criticized by Prime Minister Shen like this. Doesn't that mean that Prime Minister Shen views all women in the world in this way?"

After he said this, many officials looked at him differently. They were all born of parents and had sons and daughters.

"This...Please, Your Highness, do not take things out of context. I would never have such a thought."

Shen Yun continued walking back, almost standing next to Gu Changjin. She circled the dragon throne, her slender fingers tracing the sword. "My brother Gu Changjin was made crown prince at birth. He is exceptionally intelligent and has worked diligently since the late emperor's passing, conquering the barbarian tribes. He is praised throughout the land. Today, you doubt him based on hearsay. This is the loyal minister that my brother has always praised. Very well."

"This old woman only has a mouth, yet you all dare to question her. Do you think the late emperor was incompetent, unable to even understand his own child?"

"To slander the late Empress, to disrespect the late Emperor, and to be disloyal and unjust to the current Emperor."

She slowly walked down again, then used the end of her sword to lift Lin Fang's chin. "It's just a few rumors. Find the source and make an example of them."

Lin Fang stared in horror at the sword at her chin, stammering, "Princess, Princess, spare my life! What I said is true, uh..."

With a gentle effort, a spurt of blood shot out. The person in front of her stared wide-eyed, seemingly in disbelief, before slowly collapsing to the ground.

"Rong An." Gu Changjin subconsciously stepped forward.

She was still staring at the blood on the sword, a bewitching smile playing on her lips. "That's why Rong An just said please don't blame me, Your Majesty. Those who disobey, just kill them."

She then pressed the sword against Nangong Yu's chest, instantly staining his dark blue clothes red. Nangong Yu looked at her with disgust and astonishment, but he didn't move an inch.

"Not long ago, rumors spread from the General's Mansion that I was unchaste and impure. Later, someone else was put forward to take the blame. Now that I've said this, who knows if it's not something you, Nangong Yu, have been plotting for a long time, harboring resentment towards me, and wanting to ruin my reputation?"

"The princess has no evidence," he said calmly.

Perhaps finding it boring, Shen Yun handed the sword to Gu Changjin. "Evidence? Then let me ask you, based on this dead old woman, do you suspect that the bloodline of the Great Wei Emperor has long coveted the throne?"

Nangong Yu's eyes darkened slightly. He never expected that Gu Rong'an would actually kill this old woman and say such things. If she had acted like this before, why would he have bothered to break off the engagement?

“Your Majesty, how can the princess be allowed to act so presumptuously in the Golden Palace? I beg Your Majesty to investigate this matter,” said Prime Minister Shen.

Now that he's thinking of him, Gu Changjin smiled slightly. "Didn't Prime Minister Shen previously think that I wasn't born to the late emperor? Why do you want me to handle this now?"

Shen Xiang felt bitter. If it weren't for Xue'er, he wouldn't have ruined most of his life's loyalty and reputation. He said loudly, "The current emperor is incompetent, and everything is controlled by Princess Rong'an. We, your subjects, were entrusted by the late emperor to cleanse the court of corrupt officials." "What you say is absolutely right, Prime Minister Shen. The princess is a scourge to the country. All generals, listen to my command and arrest Princess Rong'an, regardless of whether she lives or dies." Nangong Yu took off the jade pendant from his hand and smashed it on the ground.

Hearing the sound, a number of footsteps came from behind the door.

"Your Majesty, did you see that? That old codger Nangong Yu has long wanted to replace you, and he even wants to use me to rebel. He's a complete weakling." Shen Yun remained expressionless, completely unaware of the danger he was about to face.

2345 reminds you: [They said they were going to capture Rong An, regardless of whether he lives or dies.]

???

She's just here for show.

You killed him.

. . .

Gu Changjin wouldn't just hand her over, would he? She turned to look at him, thinking, "He wouldn't be that tasteless, would he?"

It's hard to say, after all, this is a matter of life and death.

Gu Changjin said in a hoarse voice, "Rong'an, stand behind your brother."

I thought the host would say no, I have to protect you 2345. I saw her run away very quickly and hide behind Gu Changjin. If you ignore the still bleeding sword, it's quite funny.

Seeing this, Nangong Yu's lips curled slightly. "The Emperor is confused, protecting the princess. To uphold the integrity of Great Wei, everyone, regardless of life or death, is at stake."

Shen Yun patted Gu Changjin's shoulder with one hand and asked expectantly, "Brother, are you exceptionally skilled in martial arts, the kind where you don't even need to walk and just 'whoosh whoosh whoosh' all day long?"

A group of dark-skinned people surrounded the hall. Perhaps it was because Nangong Yu still possessed some luck, but most of the people in the hall had already turned against him.

Gu Changjin paused for a moment, then said, "Since childhood, I have only learned the way of being a king, and I have not practiced martial arts much."

Before he could finish speaking, he clearly saw his sister's eyes change from expectation to contempt, as if she were looking at a good-for-nothing.

After a long while, seemingly realizing that her expression was not quite right, she wiped her face with her hand and then impatiently pushed Gu Changjin behind her, tightly holding his arm with her left hand.

"100 points, I'm going to cheat!"

The voice cannot be refused.

This is against the rules.

"If I don't use cheats, I'll die right now. You should know I'm very experienced."

2345: Yes, she's quite experienced; she's probably traumatized. Left with no other choice, it had to give her a cheat code.

In general, this host is the least troublesome to do among all the hosts, but it has only one drawback: it can never guess what the host will do next.

After unleashing her power, Shen Yun didn't wait for any orders. A wicked smile appeared on her lips as she stared directly at Nangong Yu. Then, to everyone's astonishment, she began a massacre.
