Just as Song Zhaoruo was holding the imperial edict and preparing to read it aloud, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall!

"Wait a minute!"

The court officials were all preparing to hear the imperial edict, so these two sudden words sounded very jarring and abrupt.

Everyone instinctively turned around and looked towards the direction of the main hall door!

Even Ji Wuxin squinted at this moment, focusing his gaze on the outside of the main hall!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a handsome young man dressed in black court robes strode into the main hall!

Upon seeing this, the guards in the main hall snorted coldly and were about to step forward to stop them!

However, when these highly skilled palace guards had only approached within seven or eight meters of that figure, they were directly blasted back several meters by a powerful protective aura!

Upon seeing this scene, all the ministers widened their eyes, looking at the figure as if they were seeing a god!

"It's Jatis!"

Immediately, a minister recognized Jia Daoshi. In any case, Jia Daoshi's reputation was now the most resounding in the Great Jing Dynasty. Not long ago, he had decisively defeated the Kushan Empire's 500,000-strong army at Juebi City, which was an unprecedented achievement in recent years.

Moreover, he now has another identity: the husband of Princess Taiping!

Regardless of which identity he holds, he is enough to be the most successful person in the Great Jing!

Not to mention, Zhenbei Prince Shen Li is also his wife!

In short, this man has far too many accolades.

Therefore, this prince consort who came from a wealthy family in a mountain village is now someone everyone should take seriously!

There's nothing we can do about it, because this guy's wives are just too powerful!

They are found throughout the court and the country, and each and every one of them is an unparalleled beauty!

It's hard not to be envious!

Jia Daoshi's appearance at this time aroused suspicion among the civil and military officials.

Because Jia Daoshi, the supervisor of the Imperial City Guard, has never attended court. Now, he suddenly interrupted the imperial edict that was about to be announced. What is he trying to do?

"Oh? Jatis has a problem with that?"

Ji Wuxin was not angry because Jia Daoshi interrupted the imperial decree. On the contrary, her expression remained calm as always, as if she wanted to get a satisfactory answer from Jia Daoshi.

However, the ministers in the court all understood that if Jia Daoshi could not give a reasonable explanation, Ji Wuxin would certainly not let him off easily.

Jia Daoshi knew this, of course, but he didn't care.

The Ninth Prince, Wu Qingye, remained silent throughout, only smiling faintly as he looked at Jia Daoshi.

Despite the gazes of the entire court, Jia Daoshi remained remarkably calm. He chuckled and said, "My purpose is actually quite simple: because the Ninth Prince, Wu Qingye, is unworthy to be the Regent!"

"Such a treacherous and cunning prince, if he were to become regent, the Great Jing Dynasty would be doomed!"

boom!

These words were like a thunderclap!

The court officials were all dumbfounded.

Although people had negative speculations about Wu Qingye, those were just speculations after all.

Jia Daoshi immediately launched a scathing attack, accusing the other party of harboring malicious intentions, being treacherous and cunning, and unworthy of the position of regent.

Isn't this a bit too aggressive?

This is tantamount to slapping Ji Wuxin across the face!

Could an ordinary person do something like this?

Wu Qingye's expression remained calm and composed: "Brother Jia, we met in Yilan County. You should know my character very well. Why do you say that?"

"Your Majesty, Chief Jia must have some misunderstanding about me. I beg Your Majesty to investigate!"

"Restore my innocence!"

Wu Qingye spoke very sincerely, as if he had truly suffered a huge misunderstanding.

Jia Daoshi watched Wu Qingye's performance with a calm expression.

If he hadn't captured Wu Qingfeng, he wouldn't have believed that Wu Qingye was really that kind of person.

Thinking back to when I was in Yilan County, I did have a relationship with that person. Now, it feels like a lifetime ago!

"The royal family cannot be insulted, Jia Tisi. If you cannot provide a reasonable explanation today, even if you have made great contributions to the Great Jing Dynasty, I will not spare you!"

Ji Wuxin's expression was icy. After all, she had risen to the position of emperor through her own efforts. If she were truly angry, all the officials would feel immense pressure!

Jia Daoshi, who was in the spotlight, remained calm. He smiled faintly, turned to the person behind him, and said, "Alright, bring him up."

The words fell.

Several more people entered the main hall, and this time, the palace guards did not stop them.

Because the person who walked in this time was none other than Princess Taiping, Ji Bingyan.

"Hmm? The princess is here too? And the person she's holding, is that the Eighth Prince?"

"What's going on? How did the Eighth Prince end up in her hands? The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince are very close, could there be something going on here..."

"It seems the Eighth Prince has been beaten..."

As Ji Bingyan and Wu Qingfeng entered, the court officials began to whisper among themselves once again.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, save me!"

"Ninth Brother! Ninth Brother! Save me! These two madmen are trying to kill me!"

Wu Qingfeng was bound up like a rice dumpling, his face as pale as a zombie!

Upon seeing Wu Qingye, the Ninth Prince, he immediately cried out for help!

Wu Qingye, who had been calm, suddenly had a fierce glint in his eyes after seeing this scene!

He never expected that Wu Qingfeng would be arrested!

At this moment, Wu Qingfeng was truly terrified!

The blood in the underground palace's blood pool had all been blasted dry. Without a blood supply, if he died now, it would be truly the end for him!

So at this moment, he no longer dared to show off in front of Jia Daoshi, and after seeing Wu Qingye, he directly asked for help!

After witnessing this scene, Wu Qingye remained outwardly calm, but a murderous intent had already risen within him!

"Jia Tisi, what does this mean? Are you planning to kidnap the myna bird to threaten me?"

After taking a deep breath, Wu Qingye said coldly, "Jia Tisi, I only have my eldest brother and eighth brother left. Aren't you going too far? Do you even respect the Great Jing royal family?"

Upon hearing this, the court officials began to discuss it amongst themselves.

The Eighth Prince, Wu Qingfeng, also came to his senses. He cried out to Ji Wuxin, who was sitting on the phoenix throne, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, save me! Please, don't let the Ninth Prince become Regent! Let Jia Tisi be Regent! Otherwise, Jia Tisi will kill me!"

The two brothers were of one mind, and their back-and-forth singing and chanting actually worked together quite well.

In the blink of an eye, Jia Daoshi was portrayed as a man who would stop at nothing to obtain the position of regent.

Moreover, in order to achieve his goal, he even kidnapped the Eighth Prince Wu Qingfeng and used their brotherly bond to threaten Wu Qingye!
