Shocking! The killer traveled through time and space and became a female Shura, killing like crazy

Capital

In the court, ever since the emperor punished the prince by sending him out of the palace, Prime Minister Huo became seriously ill and did not attend the morning court for many days, and the other ministers were frightened.

They are now a little afraid of the emperor who is so decisive and ruthless that he even deals with the maternal families of the empress dowager and the queen without mercy. If other ministers disobey the emperor, he will directly confiscate their property and exterminate their clans without any room for maneuver.

The emperor sat on the magnificent dragon throne, his sharp eyes slowly sweeping over the ministers. He saw awe and fear in their eyes, and a sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

When he first ascended the throne, the old ministers relied on their seniority and were respectful on the surface, but formed cliques behind his back and did not take him seriously.

After dealing with several old ministers in succession, they felt much more at ease. Since the rebellion of the virtuous king, the court has become more stable.

This time, he ordered the crown prince to leave the palace indefinitely. Prime Minister Huo fell ill, which made all the ministers in the court feel insecure. They were all cautious and acted according to the emperor's instructions.

The emperor looked at his ministers and thought to himself: It is time to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys and serve as a warning to others.

The emperor's deep and stern voice came, "My lords, I have recently heard that some ministers have been involved in corruption and bribery."

The emperor's voice was not loud, but it carried an irresistible majesty.

Many ministers were frightened and broke out in cold sweats. They stood there trembling as if they were on the edge of an abyss.

"I have decided to order Song Yu, the Minister of Justice, to thoroughly investigate this matter. I hope that you, my dear ministers, will actively cooperate and jointly maintain the integrity of the court. If anyone dares to abuse their power for personal gain or fails to report the crime, I will show no mercy!"

The emperor's eyes suddenly became fierce, as if they could penetrate people's hearts.

The ministers knelt down and said in unison: "Your humble servants obey the Holy Order!"

The emperor nodded slightly and signaled the court to be dismissed.

The minister felt relieved and hurriedly left the court. He sat in his own carriage, still a little frightened.

They knew that the emperor was going to completely overhaul the court, and they had to be careful to avoid getting into trouble.

The queen sat quietly in the palace and did not step out of the palace for many days.

Her eyes revealed deep worry and sadness, and her face looked haggard, as if she had lost all her luster overnight.

She knew in her heart that she did not want to go out and meet the concubines in the palace, and she could not face their gazes and mocking words.

However, the queen's biggest concern was the prince's safety while he was away.

She knew the cruelty and ruthlessness of palace struggles and was worried that something bad might happen to the prince. Whenever she thought of this, her heart was filled with fear and anxiety, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

She choked up and said, "The Emperor is so cruel! No matter what, the prince is his own son, and he actually left him to fend for himself. If anything happens to the prince, I will die too."

"Your Majesty, rest assured! The Emperor will not ignore the Crown Prince. He is only using this method to warn the Prime Minister."

"The Huo Mansion has sent word that Prime Minister Huo has already sent assassins to secretly protect the Crown Prince. You can rest assured!"

"I am still worried about the tactics of the other women in the palace. They will definitely want to take advantage of the prince's absence to harm him."

"Empress, the Emperor has ordered Lord Song, the Minister of Justice, to conduct a thorough investigation of all the ministers in the court. The harem and the court are closely connected with each other regarding corruption. All the ministers in the court are in danger. Anyone who dares to commit such crimes is courting death."

"This is the best reason for the Emperor to protect the Crown Prince. Even the concubines in the harem have to consider the Emperor's wrath."

The queen felt much better after hearing the nanny's analysis.

The Empress Dowager has been sitting in the Buddhist temple every day to seek peace and quiet. Since she has decided to support the Emperor in rectifying the government, she should not interfere in state affairs. She avoids anyone who comes to ask to see her, so as to prevent them from becoming accomplices to the evil.

She knew in her heart that as long as her brother did not rebel, the emperor would not kill the Huo family, so she was at ease chanting scriptures in the Buddhist temple and not asking about the affairs of the court.

Prime Minister's Mansion

Since Prime Minister Huo fell ill from his impatience, he had become much more worn out. He lay on his sickbed, his face pale and his eyes weary, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

Now his thoughts were not as arbitrary as before. He knew that the emperor's order for the prince to go on an indefinite incognito tour was a warning to him. If he continued to be stubborn, the prince would never be able to return to the palace, so he kept taking leave and not attending the morning court.

Today, the butler reported that the emperor had ordered the Supreme Court to thoroughly investigate corruption and bribery. His aged voice echoed, "It seems the emperor wants to take advantage of my absence from the morning court to uproot the Huo family's influence and leave me no hope."

"Master, don't think too much. The emperor is not targeting you. The power of other families is also affected."

"The Emperor hasn't made any decision about our Huo family. He's already treating us well. When you recover and come to court, we'll pretend nothing happened."

"The Emperor is thirty years old and in his prime. Which Emperor would tolerate his subjects usurping the imperial power? Only those Emperors without any ability would tolerate their subjects usurping the imperial power."

"Our emperor is a man of courage, strategy, and ambition. This is a good thing."

"Don't go against him anymore. Do your duty as a subject. Only then will the Huo family and the prince have a future. Think about it carefully!"

Prime Minister Huo leaned against the head of the bed in silence.

After Gu Xi came back, her mother had no time to care for her because her father was seriously ill.

The Queen Mother stayed in the Buddhist temple for many days without coming out, and no one cared about her marriage, which was exactly what she wanted.

"Xiao Ru, the New Year is only a few days away. Why hasn't my cousin returned to Beijing for the New Year? Could it be that he's in Yunzhou spending the New Year with that yellow-haired girl?"

"Miss, please don't worry. I sent someone to Yunzhou and they have already returned."

"How to say."

"Prince Mu took the Third Prince to the military camp to celebrate the New Year."

"Send someone to make that yellow-haired girl disappear. We need to do it quietly so that my cousin won't find out about it."

"Slave girl, I'll send someone over right away."
