Chapter 2034

The three of them climbed the stairs and stood behind the emperor.

Prince Li stepped forward and knelt on one leg, "I am late in protecting you, please forgive me, father."

"Take good care of your little princess. Your father doesn't need you to protect him!" Xiao Yunde couldn't help but feel comforted as he watched his youngest son complete his wedding.

You little bastard! I fell in love with my daughter-in-law at first sight, and you said you don’t want her!

When I turned around, it was still her!

Xiao Jiu looked embarrassed, knowing that his father was laughing at him in his heart. He stood up and subconsciously glanced at Wei Pingting, and found that the little girl's eyes were shining with excitement, and she was not afraid at all.

But she bowed with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully wish you the best of health."

"Okay." Xiao Yunde nodded, showing more kindness than before. "Don't be afraid. You'll get used to this kind of scene after seeing it many times."

Shi Anxia smiled, "Father, it's better to see less scenes of rebellion."

Xiao Yunde narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Treason is not scary. What is scary is that the situation is out of control." He said this to Puppet Nine.

Unexpectedly, Puppet Nine was looking down at his brocade robe, thinking it looked pretty good. The charcoal seller used to say that he had fair skin and looked good in red.

While they were talking, the civil and military officials of the city had already lined up to enter according to their ranks, wearing red and purple official robes, looking solemn and dignified.

They held ivory tablets in their hands and walked steadily, their black leather boots stepping on the blood-stained blue bricks, like leaving a heavy mark in the history books.

All the officials knelt down and shook their sleeves, and the sound of the ivory tablets hitting the ground was like thunder.

"The traitor has been punished, justice is clear!"

"The mountains and rivers of Beiyi will be forever secure!"

Amid the deafening shouts of “The traitors will be punished!”, the imperial cavalry escorted dozens of prisoners into the city gates.

The sound of black iron chains piercing the darkness, officials in prison clothes were forced to kneel on the bluestone slabs. They took off their brocade robes and jade belts, leaving only dark red blood stains on their plain white undergarments.

Among them were imperial physicians, civil officials and military generals, imperial guards, students, city tower guards, and even several palace maids.

The four great families were the foundation of the Northern Wing, so it was not uncommon for their disciples to serve as officials in the capital.

"The four great families are really capable!" The emperor sneered, "They have built a foundation for a hundred years, but now they are using it all to plot against my northern wing!"

Gui Sifang held on to his seriously injured body and roared, "We are loyal ministers who protect the king and are definitely not traitors! The sun and the moon can prove our loyalty!"

Seeing this, Guo Jindong knew that this was the last chance of life and death, and immediately shouted, "The emperor has detained the emperor. This is treason! Don't be deceived by him!"

Qin Hongchang and Lin Wensong both echoed in a stern voice.

"Our lives are not worth regretting, but our emperor is imprisoned in the deep palace!"

"We shed our blood on the altar, just for our emperor to see the light of day again!"

"Even if my life is shattered, I will purge the emperor's entourage and restore order! Only then will I live up to the expectations..."

Before they could finish their nonsense, a long sword came out from the air and pierced into the three-inch blue brick in front of the two men.

Everyone looked back in horror, only to see eighteen powerful warriors in golden armor approaching the palace gate with earth-shaking steps.

The curtains on the dragon chariot they carried on their shoulders were blown up by the night wind.

The person sitting on the chariot was Emperor Zhaowu.

He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his fingertips gently stroking the intact imperial seal at his waist.

The pearls and jade hanging from the crown tassels swayed slightly, casting tiny shadows on his pale face.

Emperor Zhaowu raised his hand slightly, and the whole audience fell silent.

He got off the dragon chariot and stepped on the blood-stained ground with his dragon boots.

The young emperor stood with his hands behind his back, speaking slowly and calmly, "Let me see who dares to use my name to commit treason!"
