The prince can read minds! I just want to be a princess and have a bad time

How could Prince De be tricked by his few words? He just said coldly, "Oh! Righteousness, huh? Since Prince Zhuo can sacrifice his own children for the sake of justice, I believe that Lord Xu, who is always worried about the world, will be more righteous than Prince Zhuo!"

He changed the subject and bowed his head to the superior, "Your Majesty, since Lord Xu keeps talking about righteousness, and Prince Zhuo's two children are royal family members and must be offered sacrifices to the gods, then I propose that all nine generations of Lord Xu's clan be buried with him!" His voice was serious and did not sound like a joke at all.

"Your Majesty!!! There are signs of national unrest, we must not take it lightly!"

As soon as Lord Xu finished speaking, other court officials came forward to agree with him, making it seem that Prince De was alone and weak.

"Heh! You people in Luo City are really interesting. You treat two babies just like that without any incident! You really have no bottom line and are totally unscrupulous!" Licheng Prince Lu Chuchen finally couldn't stand it anymore and joined the verbal fight.

"...That's enough! Be quiet!"

The emperor looked solemnly at the person standing behind Prince De without saying a word, "Prince Zhuo, do you have any objection to this? I have always been against offering sacrifices to the heavens, but you see..."

He looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. As an emperor, asking the royal duke for his opinion was an honor in itself.

Lu Yingxing raised his eyes calmly, his eyes indifferent, "Your Majesty, I have no objection."

"Shut up!" Prince De looked at him viciously. Was he crazy to agree to this?

Lu Yingxing was unmoved, and continued in a calm tone, "If the situation in the world does not change the next day after my twins offer sacrifices to the heaven, then I will do my best to slaughter all the children in the world..." He glanced at everyone in the hall coldly, "Let's start with your family."

Different from Lord Xu's passionate emotions and Prince De's unreasonable and stubborn behavior, Prince Zhuo stood quietly in the hall, his back straight, his voice low and his expression calm. He was neither aggressive nor opposed to the sacrifice to heaven.

He was just telling you a fact very calmly: If my child dies, none of your children will survive... Every word he said sounded like a threat to the court officials!

"You...you are simply..."

Just when the conflict was about to break out, a loud voice rang out from outside the door, "The Second Princess is here! Princess Zhuo is here!"

Lu Yingxing's gloomy expression finally eased a little until he saw Shen Yu and Gu Yu entering the hall, each holding a child.

Although he had always acted calm and confident, he was still worried until he saw his wife and children appear safely... No plan was foolproof, and he could not afford even a slight error.

These days, he and Prince De have been secretly investigating the source of the rumor. In fact, Wu Zhong got the news as soon as the rumor started, but unfortunately, when they were about to board the ship, the rumor suddenly began to ferment when they arrived in Jiangnan...

What is the purpose? It is self-evident.

This matter was not hidden from the Madam, so they all knew that today's event was the Hongmen Banquet. However, they did not expect that their ultimate goal was to sacrifice Chenchen and Tiantian to the gods?

A villain whose mind was twisted by jealousy and unwillingness, a coward who only dared to hide behind others and shoot arrows from behind, actually became the Emperor of Gan? Ha!

He contributed to the breaking of Prince De's leg!

He secretly assisted in Su Yixia's tragedy!

He must be behind the Beirong incident!

Who allowed the Yun family's ambition to grow?

……

These crimes are too numerous to list. Such a hypocrite? He is destined to live in endless jealousy and comparison for the rest of his life.

Madam is right. If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. If someone offends me, I will change the emperor!

Shen Yu looked at her husband calmly, and they could see ridicule and disdain in each other's eyes.

The reason why she brought her children into the palace even though she knew there was a trap was, firstly, because she was worried about leaving them by her side, and secondly, because the conspiracy against the twins was not reliable in the first place, and those so-called concerns were totally unfounded...

In a word, it's so stupid!

She agreed to enter the palace because everyone thought it was an opportunity, but opportunities come with dangers and a price to pay...

But it was annoying to have a fly following one's head all the time. Since the emperor wanted to have fun, then he could do as he wished. He built the stage and they were the actors. As for if it ended badly in the end? Who cared?

"See Father!"

"Meet the Emperor!"

The emperor frowned and looked at the group of people below. Was his daughter getting too close to Prince Zhuo's family?

"Qier, you step back first!"

"Father, I was originally bringing Princess Zhuo to pay my respects to Mother, but I met your guards on the way, so I made this detour..." The Second Princess's meaning was very clear. I didn't want to come either. I was forced to do so.

"Nonsense! You are not supposed to be in this hall? Get out of here immediately!"

"Your Majesty, the Second Princess has a very good relationship with the twins. Since Your Majesty is determined to sacrifice them to heaven, I believe the Second Princess..."

"Sacrifice to Heaven! What sacrifice to Heaven?" Before Prince De finished his words, Lu Yuanqi looked at the emperor in shock, and saw that his brows were gloomy. He then looked at the courtiers who were clearly separated from Prince De and his companions.

All the ministers who were swept by her eyes dodged with guilty conscience, but no one spoke out to deny it. The second princess looked up at the emperor with a sullen face, as if her three perspectives were shattered.

"Father...you want to...let them...offer sacrifice to the heaven?"

The second princess didn't even have the heart to say Tiantian and Chenchen's names, for fear that they would be associated with these two cruel words.

Being questioned by his own daughter in public, the emperor looked grim, "This is not what I meant..."

"But you didn't object, did you?" The second princess' voice was filled with tears. She unconsciously stood in front of the princess and the baby, trying to help them block all the malice.

Shen Yu didn't have the heart to let this passionate girl face these dark sides, so she patted her arm and pulled her away. She walked forward holding Tiantian, with a slight sneer on her lips, "May I ask your Majesty, who proposed to let my child be sacrificed to the heaven?"

"presumptuous!"

"Princess Zhuo, are you questioning the emperor?"

Shen Yu said that he didn't dare, but his face did not retreat at all and he continued to look directly at the emperor.

Thinking back to the first time she went to the palace after getting married, she didn't dare to be so reckless. This was all because of the confidence Lu Yingxing gave her...

Thinking that the "confidence" was looking at her at the moment, Shen Yu felt more at ease, so she repeated it again, "Your Majesty, who proposed that my child be sacrificed to the heaven?"

In the palace, Princess Zhuo was so angry? She even openly held her daughter and yelled at the emperor?

At this time, even the court officials below noticed that something was wrong. What was Princess Zhuo trying to do? Was she going to rebel?

At this time, Lu Yingxing also took his son from Guyu, and walked forward with a cold face to stand shoulder to shoulder with his wife. The family of four neither spoke harshly to each other nor showed any disrespect.

They just all looked up, as if waiting for an answer, including the little babies in their arms.
