Quick Wear: She is the White Moonlight

Yue Bai lowered her eyes and touched the scale. Madam Ji understood and said, "A mermaid will probably not live long after losing the heart scale. If you still want Qi Ji to survive, you'd better return it as soon as possible. Your body has passed the heaven's punishment now. The heaven has acquiesced. There won't be any more accidents."

"Mother, I can't find him." Yuebai said in annoyance.

"He will come to see you again." Madam Ji saw clearly that the obsession in the mermaid's eyes was no less than that of Xiao Fuci. She didn't know whether Yuebai's current situation was a blessing or a curse, but at least he was safe.

Thinking about the main business of looking for Yue Bai, Madam Ji said, "Xiao Fuci has been pushing the Xiao family to the brink of death recently. You should not go out easily. Your father and I are afraid that they will do something desperate to you."

After all, it is a century-old family with a deep foundation and some unknown trump cards, and there are also many monster catchers. The Ji family has tried not to go out recently, because some people with low cultivation have gone out and never came back.

Yuebai didn't want to cause trouble for the Ji family, so he nodded and agreed.

But they wanted to avoid it, but the Xiao family did not intend to do as they wished. Moreover, the spy brought news that Yuebai was alive again, and the head of the Xiao family wanted the so-called secret technique of the Ji family even more.

It was time for the court meeting again. Xiao Fuci no longer concealed his arrogance. He directly got a chair and sat in the hall: "I have been ill recently, and it is already a pity for me to come to court. Your Majesty will not care about these red tapes."

The emperor's face turned pale and he couldn't say a word, but he could only put on a smile.

All those standing below were Xiao Fuci's followers, and some even stood up to agree: "Sir Xiao has worked too hard for state affairs and is in poor health. We can naturally understand him, and I'm sure that Your Majesty will not care about it if he sympathizes with his subjects."

After saying this, the man glanced at the emperor on the dragon throne. His intention of provocation was obvious, but the emperor couldn't get angry and could only pin his hopes on his own people in the court.

How could Xiao Fuci allow people to pick on him? When the emperor looked at the officials in the corner, Xiao Fuci also looked over there. He was sitting there, wearing a red official uniform.

His face looked two points paler than usual and no longer had the gentle smile of the past. If Xiao Fuci used to be like a smiling tiger, he now looked more like an eagle with its fangs bared.

The few people Xiao Fuci glanced at were immediately frightened and trembled. Their breathing became lighter, let alone speaking to their master.

At the same time, everyone was wondering why Prime Minister Xiao was so strong today. Was the situation going to change? Some people were thinking about taking sides, some wanted to take advantage of the situation to get promoted, and some were worried and just wanted to protect themselves.

Xiao Fuci sat there, taking in their reactions. He turned the ring on his finger and asked Wei Yan, "General Wei, how is the matter I asked you to investigate going?"

Upon receiving the hint, Wei Yan immediately stepped out and took the things on board. While the emperor was guessing what Xiao Fuci was up to, he opened the memorial, read it with a gloomy face, and took several deep breaths before calming down.

"Xiao Fuci." The emperor called him in a low voice.

Xiao Fuci tilted his head and looked at the emperor: "I am here. It seems that your majesty is very angry with the Xiao family. I ask for your permission to confiscate the Xiao family. What do you think?"

"Don't forget, you are also a member of the Xiao family? You are among them too!" The emperor tightly grasped the armrests of the dragon throne. Those who didn't know would think that the emperor attached great importance to the Xiao family, but the fact was that he was only emperor if he relied on the Xiao family.

If the Xiao family was gone, wouldn't he be able to be deposed and enthroned at will? Don't forget that Xiao Fuci was the late emperor's consort, and the princess was married under the name of Madam Xun.

Looking for Madam has always been the nightmare of the court. Although she is not a seductive concubine, she seduced the late emperor's vacant harem and has always been supported by him as the queen.

Xiao Fuci ignored the emperor's threat and said calmly, "I was expelled from the Xiao family a long time ago. In order to avoid suspicion, I did not intervene in this matter. General Wei himself brought out the evidence. Your Majesty should stop deceiving yourself."

The emperor's expression changed again and again. The veins on his hand holding the memorial bulged. He then threw it to the ground and asked word by word, "Xiao Fuci, do you really want to do this?"

"Your Majesty, why do you say that? You have inherited the throne of the late emperor, so you should be respectful and filial to him. I am also sharing your worries with you, Your Majesty."

Xiao Fuci stood up, picked up the memorial, and paced slowly in the hall. The court meeting with more than a hundred people was so quiet that only his footsteps could be heard.

"I am also the consort of the princess of the late emperor. We are all relatives. Now I am trying to find out the truth about the late emperor's accidental death in the princess's mansion. Your Majesty, as the late emperor's heir, how can you not be sad about what happened to the late emperor!

Your Majesty, you will not let the people of the world be disheartened and then suspect that you are colluding with the noble families to secretly seize the throne, right?"

With a plop, the emperor slid down from the dragon throne. Xiao Fuci turned his back to everyone and looked at the emperor with a malicious smile. The emperor knew that Xiao Fuci must have known that his throne was not obtained in a legitimate way.

This is forcing him to give up the Xiao family, but he and the Xiao family are interdependent. Without the Xiao family, he will be a puppet in the hands of Xiao Fuci. During these years of fighting among various parties, he can still develop some of his own power. If Xiao Fuci dominates the market, he is afraid that he will have to look at his face in the future.

However, Xiao Fuci looked at the emperor's face and didn't care about his reaction. He stood beside the dragon throne and said, "Come and draft an imperial decree. The Xiao family of Piguohou rebelled against the emperor, instigated the court to murder the late emperor, and ordered the Wei family army to confiscate their property."

Wei Yan immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "I obey your command." After saying this, he did not care about the emperor's expression and directly took the imperial edict and left. Even the Wei family army was waiting outside the palace.

Looking at such a scene, what could the civil and military officials not understand? Xiao Fuci had come prepared, and the grudge between him and the Emperor's Xiao family was almost known to everyone in the court.

The time for reckoning has finally come, and everyone has a feeling that the dust has settled. Of course, this is what most people think, after all, everyone has openly or secretly sided with Xiao Fuci.

Xiao Fuci stood there and took in everyone's reactions, and glanced at the steward beside the emperor.

The steward's hand holding the whisk trembled for a moment, and he began to sing loudly: "Dismiss the court!"

The people below bowed again and left, and it seemed that Xiao Fuci had the final say.
