The most romantic little emperor

A general stood out from the crowd, stared at Lu Yi, and coldly rebuked him: "Lu Yi, shouldn't you stay in the prison? Why are you here pretending to be powerful? Where do you get the courage? Who gave you the power to crawl out of that rat hole?"

"It is! It is!"

The ministers nearby echoed, "You are a criminal, yet you dare to speak nonsense here? Why don't you get out of the way and stop getting in the way!"

Lu Yi took a step forward and said coldly: "Whether this commander is guilty or not is not up to you to decide. The Ministry of Justice has already found out the truth and cleared my name. Now I ask you all to leave quickly and say no more."

However, this group of ministers did not seem to buy it. They whispered and talked among themselves. Some suspected that Qin Hao was really sick, while others firmly believed that there must be something fishy going on.

Wen Tai was standing in the crowd, his brows furrowed, his eyes flashing with sharp light, and he was obviously thinking about the various possibilities.

"We must find a way to see His Highness!"

Lord Wen looked at the ministers around him and began to persuade them, "If there really is someone secretly controlling Your Highness, we must find him out!"

The ministers agreed one after another and began to discuss countermeasures, eager to find a way to get close to Qin Hao.

Not long after, a third-rank minister suddenly stood up and directly accused Lu Yi of rebellion. He shouted angrily, "Lu Yi, what exactly are you up to? You sealed the nine gates, sent so many more troops to surround the palace, and didn't allow us to see His Highness. Are you planning to rebel?"

"presumptuous!"

Lu Yi's face darkened, and his voice was filled with unquestionable majesty. He directly retorted: "I was ordered by Your Highness to impose martial law in the palace to prevent anyone from plotting any ill intentions while Your Highness is ill."

"Really?"

The other party obviously didn't buy it and retorted, "Then why can't we, the loyal ministers, go in to see His Highness? Does Lord Lu think that we have the intention of rebellion?"

Lu Yi's face was as calm as water, as if all the accusations could not shake him in the slightest. "I, Lu, have never thought of this. It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has ordered it. I hope you all will understand."

The ministers were in a frenzy again, with all kinds of accusations and sarcasms pouring in like a tide, as if to drown Lu Yi. However, he just stood there quietly, as unmoved as a mountain.

Finally, the commotion in the crowd gradually subsided, and a figure walked out of the crowd. This person was Wen Tai.

He was dressed in a neat official uniform, with a calm and firm expression on his face, as if he had his own decision and belief. He walked to the front and looked at Lu Yi firmly, as if he could see through him.

As the Minister of War, he holds a crucial voice in the court.

"Lord Lu." He bowed slightly, appearing very calm and composed.

Lu Yi reciprocated the greeting and returned the salute respectfully, neither humble nor arrogant.

Wen Tai said worriedly, "Your Highness has been ill for many days. We haven't seen him in the court for several days. Even ministers like us rarely see him. How can we not be worried when your Highness is in such a state?"

"Recently, I heard rumors in the palace that His Highness is seriously ill and may not be able to run the government. Once this rumor came out, both the officials in the court and the common people were in a panic. If this continues, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Lu Yi looked normal, with a faint smile on his lips, but he said nothing.

Minister Wen Tai said firmly: "I must meet with Your Highness today. If Lord Lu insists on his own opinion, then I will have no choice but to join forces with other ministers and jointly submit a petition to remove you from your post."

According to Daxia's laws, when the emperor encounters an unexpected event, some ministers do hold important powers of appointment and dismissal. Now that the emperor and the prince are both seriously ill, they are even more fearless and have nothing to fear.

Before he finished speaking, Wen Tai's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, carrying a strong threat.

Lu Yi trembled all over, his heart was filled with horror, he thought to himself, damn, these people are simply crazy, this is not asking for an audience with the prince, this is clearly a disguised form of forcing the emperor to abdicate!

Immediately afterwards, all the ministers began to speak out, and their voices merged into a powerful wave that seemed to be out of control.

"Minister Wen is right. We need to meet the Crown Prince!"

"We need to know the safety of His Highness immediately! To prevent traitors from causing chaos!"

"If we cannot see His Highness, we will jointly submit a petition to dismiss you, Lu Yi!"

"..."

If it were any other time, Lu Yi would have already stepped down and gone to ask for instructions from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

But today, he could not retreat no matter what, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already given him a death order, not to let these people into the palace under any circumstances.

The ministers' emotions were rising like a tide. Lu Yi knew that he could no longer sit idly by and had to resort to ruthless tactics to shock everyone. He suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist, and the cold light flashed, reflecting his determined eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the imperial guards also drew their swords. In an instant, the sound of metal clashing echoed in the air, and a murderous atmosphere filled the air.

Lu Yi's voice rolled in like thunder, and he roared, "If you dare to take another step forward, I will kill you on your orders, Your Highness!"

There was a fierce murderous look flashing in his eyes, like a tiger about to pounce, with an intimidating aura!

The ministers were frightened by this sudden strength and retreated in fear. Some timid ones almost fell to the ground.

Wen Tai's expression suddenly changed, his brows furrowed into a straight line, and his eyes shot at Lu Yi as sharp as a knife. His voice was filled with a questioning tone: "Lu Yi, what exactly do you want to do?"

Lu Yi's face was still as calm as ice, and his voice was low but with unshakable determination: "I am only following the orders of His Highness, and I hope Minister Wen will tolerate it. Everyone, please go back! Otherwise, I will not be polite!"

"you you……"

Wen Tai was so angry that his face turned blue, but he soon suppressed his anger, and a cold and cunning green light flashed in his eyes. He knew in his heart that the palace was under high-intensity martial law, and it seemed that the prince was really in trouble. He was probably terminally ill and his life was hanging by a thread.

Just when the stalemate was at its peak, a minister hurried over, leaned close to Wen Tai's ear, and whispered something.

After hearing this, Wen Tai's expression changed instantly. He snorted coldly and said angrily, "Lu Yi, just wait and see!"

After saying this, he turned away in a hurry, which was obviously related to the news he had just received.

Seeing Lu Yi's tough attitude, the ministers also chose to leave, and this group of mobs quickly dispersed.

Faced with such a situation, Lu Yi decisively ordered to strengthen the defense and closely monitor every corner of the palace. At the same time, he quickly went to the Crown Princess's bedroom to report this emergency to Qin Hao.
