Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

When the ministers heard this,

All are silent,

No one dared to look up and meet the Regent's gaze.

The Regent looked around, his lips slightly raised, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

"Everyone, don't be afraid. Today, I am just... giving you a warning."

His tone was leisurely, but every word was as sharp as a knife.

"In the future, I hope you will all be sensible people."

After all,

He waved his hand carelessly.

The dark shadows in the forest receded like the tide,

Disappeared in an instant,

It's like it never happened.

The ministers' tense nerves relaxed a little.

Some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

---

however,

Just when they thought today's incident was over——

The Regent suddenly chuckled, his voice low and slow, yet as cold as ice:

"Next time, there will be no chance to hesitate."

He slowly stood up.

The black robe fluttered slightly in the wind.

He glanced at everyone under the mask and then laughed.

"Well, we asked you all out here today to relax, so why are you so nervous?"

"Everyone——"

He nodded slightly, his tone light, as if the solemnity just now had never happened.

“Have a blast.”

The words fell,

He turned and left, his back straight as a blade,

Only a group of ministers were left standing there stiffly, their clothes soaked with cold sweat.

In the distance, the laughter in the hunting grounds still continues, and this world,

But it seemed as if an abyss had silently opened up.

---

Everyone watched as the Regent disappeared into the woods, and the tense atmosphere finally relaxed slightly.

The ministers looked at each other.

They talked in low voices.

"This regent is too arrogant!" Li Chong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, gnashed his teeth and said,

"How dare he openly threaten the court officials in broad daylight and even use the children of various families as blackmail! I will definitely report him to the king tomorrow!"

Zhang Qian, the Deputy Minister of Rites, quickly waved his hands.

"Lord Li, be careful with your words! The current situation in the court... less trouble is worse than more."

"Humph!" The Minister of Industry snorted coldly.

"The Regent relies on his own power and doesn't even take the monarch seriously. I really don't know what the monarch is thinking to allow him to be so arrogant!"

"Shh-"

The old Imperial Censor looked around nervously.

"Everyone, be careful with your words! He might have spies inside and outside this hunting ground..."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this, and only the laughter of young people could be heard in the distance, which formed a sharp contrast with the heavy and depressing atmosphere at the moment.

The Prime Minister was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "As for today's affairs, everyone... take care of yourselves."

---

Several ministers looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other's eyes.

As the sun sets, everyone's shadows become very long, like a haze hanging over the court that lingers for a long time.

Just when everyone thought that today's shock was over,

When we were about to go our separate ways——

"ah--!"

A shrill scream suddenly came from the depths of the dense forest, startling countless birds.

"It's my son's voice!" Li Chong, the Minister of War who had just threatened to impeach the Regent, suddenly changed his expression and ran towards the source of the sound without caring about his manners.

The other ministers followed in a hurry.

After pushing aside the bushes, I saw Minister Li's only son lying face up in a pool of blood.

There was a pitch-black feather arrow stuck in his chest, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling slightly.

"Son!" Li Chong knelt on the ground and trembled as he picked up his son.

As soon as his finger touched his nose, he suddenly retracted it, and his whole body froze in place as if struck by lightning.

"Prince Regent! You vile wretch!"

He suddenly roared to the sky, his voice horribly hoarse.

"You will not die well! I will make you pay for your blood debt with blood!"

---

The young men who rushed back from the forest one after another changed color when they saw this tragic scene.

Some of the younger ones were so frightened that they hid behind their father, trembling.

At this moment, the regent's cold laughter suddenly echoed in the woods.

"Is this gift satisfactory to you, Lord Li? Next time...it depends on who has the worst luck."

The laughter gradually faded away, but it lingered in everyone's heart like a poisonous snake.

Lord Li suddenly roared into the void: "Come at me if you want to kill me! How dare you lay hands on a child!"

"This...this..." The youngest son of Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Rites tugged at his father's official robe, his voice trembling.

"Father, that arrow... there seems to be words on it..."

Minister Wang of the Ministry of Justice swiftly stepped forward, pried open the dead man's clenched fist, and suddenly gasped: "It's the word 'rebel'! The arrow shaft is engraved with 'Rebels shall be executed'!"

"Asshole!" Minister Li snatched the blood-stained arrow, tears streaming down his face. "My son is only fifteen! What does he know about government affairs?"

"Father!" The young master of the Liu family suddenly grabbed the Minister of Works.

"Let's go! That madman even hurt children..." Before he could finish his words, his father covered his mouth tightly.

"shut up!"

Minister Liu looked around nervously and lowered his voice:

"Do you want to kill my whole family?" He turned around and bowed to Minister Li, his sleeves shaking:

"Brother Li, I feel...my condolences..."

"cousin!"

Censor Chen's nephew suddenly rushed to the corpse and was held tightly by his own servant.

The young man roared with red eyes: "I just said I wanted to hunt a white fox to make a scarf for my aunt!"

The Prime Minister held Minister Li's trembling shoulders and said:

"Master Li, you need to calm down at this moment..."

"Calm down?" Minister Li suddenly laughed miserably, raising his bloody hand. "Prime Minister Chen, how can you expect me to calm down?"

The Prime Minister stepped forward to support the staggering Li Chong and said sadly:

"Master Li, I'm so sorry. Please... take your son back first."

Li Chong's eyes were red.

Staring intently at the direction the Regent left,

His teeth were chattering.

Everyone present felt a chill down their spines. At this moment, they all understood.

——This is not a warning, but the beginning of a bloody game.
