A good morning court session turned into this noisy scene. Liang Chongyue noticed Zhuge Yuanye's gaze and did not respond.

"That's enough. Governor Luo, do you have anything else to say?"

Liang Chongyue looked straight at Luo Yuwei, whose heart and mind were in a mess at the moment. He couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking for a moment. He was afraid of saying the wrong thing, and even more afraid of missing the opportunity to escape punishment.

"Your Majesty, this is something that is so against the will of Heaven that I am terrified to hear about it. How could I dare to do it?"

Luo Yuwei slowly got up from the ground and knelt in the hall again, but this time he stayed away from the madman. His life was much more noble than that half-human, half-ghost madman, and he must not be dragged into hell by such a person.

"Zhuge Sijian has only been promoted to Sijian not long ago, and he is wholeheartedly serving the people. I understand this, but you should not blindly believe what others say and maliciously slander me. Being an official is not easy, Zhuge Sijian should understand this."

Luo Yuwei knelt in the hall like that, his back straight, no longer covering the wound with his hands that was bleeding continuously, and he looked like he was walking and sitting upright.

"Then let the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice investigate this matter. My court is not a place for you to try cases."

Seeing the moment of calmness that flashed across Luo Yuwei's eyes after hearing her words, Liang Chongyue added:

"This matter is truly appalling. Lord Luo, you have endured so much hardship these days, so please stay in the capital's prison for now. When the truth comes to light, I will personally release you."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuwei's apparent calmness almost broke, and she looked at her in panic for help. Liang Chongyue just gave her a reassuring look and then looked away.

"Ying Feng."

"The grass people are here."

Liang Chongyue cleared his throat and spoke slowly:

"The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If this matter turns out to be as you say, I will immediately issue an order to remove Luo Yuwei from his post and send him back to Qizhou for execution. What do you think?"

There was no emotion in His Majesty's words, and Ying Feng's emotions were stable at this time. He was alive today because of his good luck and the help of his father's friends. He had no one behind him, and he had no choice but to believe that the emperor of Daxia could really give his family justice.

"Every word I say is true. If even one word is false, I and my entire family will be condemned to eternal damnation."

Liang Chongyue raised his eyebrows slightly. People who have no worries can let go.

"Go ahead."

Liang Chongyue leaned back on the dragon throne and waved his hand tiredly. He immediately ordered the guards and people from the Ministry of Justice to step forward and take the two men away.

"Zhuge Sijian, please go back and prepare some new evidence. I don't want you to misunderstand Lord Luo. I am satisfied with your achievements in Qizhou. If I am wrong, you must apologize to Lord Luo."

Your Majesty's words were a double entendre, and everyone present heard two meanings, but they were not sure which one was Your Majesty's true thoughts.

When the people from the Ministry of Justice took Ying Feng away, he didn't have time to put on the mask on his face. He walked through the middle of the hall with that horrifying face. Anyone who glanced at the middle would be able to see his face that was disfigured beyond measure.

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured. From the day I entered the Censorate, I have been determined not to wrongly accuse a good person, nor to let a bad person go. I will do my utmost to rid the court of this evil."

When Zhuge Yuanye's last word fell, Luo Yuwei had just stepped out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony with both feet, but the sound he didn't want to hear still came into his ears with the wind.

Liang Chongyue waved at him upon hearing this, and Zhuge Yuanye tactfully retreated back to where he was supposed to be standing.

"My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"

This morning, half an hour had passed because of Luo Yuwei's matter. The ministers in the court looked at each other, especially the ministers who had a close personal relationship with Luo Yuwei since he returned to Beijing. They wished they could bow their heads to the ground.

Afraid of being affected by this incident, they have already made up their minds that no matter what the outcome is, after today's morning court session, they will go home and take sick leave, close the door and refuse visitors. It will not be too late for them to leave after this storm has passed and the capital has returned to peace.

"Then retreat."

Liang Chongyue waited for a while, but no one stood up to speak. He stood up with his left hand on the dragon throne and left the Hall of Supreme Harmony amid the kowtows of the court officials.

"Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell. Long live Your Majesty."

After coming out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Liang Chongyue realized that it had been a long time since he had spent such a long time in the Hall of Supreme Harmony with the court officials.

"Serve the meal. I will return directly to the Yangxin Palace in a moment."

Liang Chongyue was no longer in the mood to accompany anyone. Fortunately, the sun was shining brightly today. She stayed in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for a while longer, and when she came out, the breeze was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

The wind made Liang Chongyue feel better.

Ping'an was following behind His Majesty. When he heard this, he gave a look and the eunuch following behind him immediately understood. He bowed and retreated, and went to the imperial kitchen through the small path.

When Liang Chongyue arrived at the Yangxin Palace, breakfast was already prepared. After washing his hands and waiting for Ping'an to test the poison with a silver needle, Liang Chongyue finally had a sip of hot porridge after a busy morning.

There was a faint aroma of milk in the porridge. Liang Chongyue took a sip and felt a familiar taste:

"Are those patients I brought back from the mansion finally cured?"

The meals delivered from the imperial kitchen were always very conventional. Even if there were some innovations, they would be requested in advance. The people in the palace were used to following the rules, and innovation and improvement meant there might be uncertain risks. Only the ones she brought from the mansion would understand her taste in this way, such as adding milk to the porridge served to her.

"Yes, the chefs have recovered from their illnesses. Could you please tell them to be solely responsible for His Majesty's meals from now on?"

"Well, let's do it this way."

Liang Chongyue ate too much of the meals prepared by other chefs in the imperial kitchen and had no appetite at all. Anyway, she was immune to all poisons and had an indestructible stomach, so she didn't worry at all about someone poisoning her food.

Anyone in this world who could poison her has already been poisoned by her.

Ping An took the order and left. Liang Chongyue was eating breakfast when the system came over after smelling the food.

"Host, your breakfast smells so good, it's a taste I haven't tasted in a long time."

The system stood beside Liang Chongyue's desk, drooling profusely. Liang Chongyue could smell the stench of its saliva just by looking at it.

"Give half to the puppy. Don't let its saliva ruin my breakfast."

After Ping'an left, Yunling stayed by His Majesty's side and served him. Hearing His Majesty's words, the system immediately stood up and brought its own food bowl over. Yunling saw this scene and laughed.

Liang Chongyue looked at the stupid look of the system and turned away helplessly. It is said that people raise like dogs. She is so smart, why is the system like this?
