The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Wasn't Chapter 822 a pleasant surprise? Wasn't it unexpected?

The ministers who were just watching the drama unfold were also swayed by this. Many of the fickle ministers who had long wanted to get on the Ninth Prince's side jumped out and launched a barrage of attacks on Jia Daoshi.

It was basically a series of statements about Jia Daoshi's audacity and lawlessness, demanding that he release the people immediately or face consequences.

Some extremists even directly labeled Jia Daoshi as a rebel and requested Ji Wuxin to immediately issue an edict to suppress him!

Faced with these criticisms, Jia Daoshi did not refute them, but listened quietly.

Seeing that Jia Daoshi remained silent, Ji Bingyan was too lazy to speak either, but in her mind, she made a mental note of all the ministers who had criticized her.

Ji Wuxin was too lazy to stop them either. After the scene calmed down, Ji Wuxin looked at Jia Daoshi and said, "Chief Jia, I would like to hear your opinion on their claims."

"Your Majesty, I don't have much to say, but there are some good things I'd like to share with everyone."

Jia Daoshi chuckled and then took out a silk scroll from his pocket.

Upon seeing this silk scroll, the Eighth Prince Wu Qingfeng, who was crying and shouting loudly beside him, changed his expression!

"What is this?"

Ji Wuxin's gaze fell on the silk scroll in Jia Daoshi's hand.

"These are all confessions written by the Eighth Prince himself. Your Majesty may take a look."

As Jia Daoshi spoke, he tossed the silk scroll in his hand to Song Zhaoruo, who was not far ahead.

Song Zhaoruo frowned, reached out and took the silk scroll. After receiving Ji Wuxin's instruction, she turned around and walked over to hand the scroll over.

"These testimonies are only a small part of the evidence. There are many other pieces of evidence and witnesses. If Your Majesty is interested, you can go there in person and take a good look. It will surely delight you."

Jia Daoshi said with a smile.

Ji Wuxin ignored Jia Daoshi's words and instead looked down at the silk scroll in front of her.

His face remained perfectly calm, revealing no emotion whatsoever, as if he had lost all feeling!

At the same time, all the ministers in the court held their breath, not daring to even breathe loudly, for fear of disturbing Ji Wuxin!

The Eighth Prince, Wu Qingfeng, was ashen-faced; he knew he was doomed!

Wu Qingye, on the other hand, remained expressionless and calm, as if the things around him had nothing to do with him.

"Interesting. The real mastermind behind the Green Turban Army that wreaked havoc in the northwest of our Great Jing is not the Sun Moon Cult, nor the Liufa Heavenly Palace, but the Heavenly Desolate Immortal City far away in the Western Regions. And the one who controls this force is the Eighth Prince, Wu Qingfeng?"

Ji Wuxin put down the silk scroll in her hand, her tone calm.

"That's right, he admitted it himself. Some of the remnants of the Eternal City that we captured also admitted it. The secret stronghold of the Eternal City in the royal city is now under the control of the Imperial City Guard and the Blood Droplets. His Majesty can send people to verify it at any time!"

Jia Daoshi remained calm.

But before Ji Wuxin could say anything, Wu Qingfeng shouted, "This isn't true! This is a forced confession! This is a forced confession! He forced us to write it! Those witnesses were all instigated by him! This is a frame-up! A fabrication! What 'City of Eternal Youth'! I know nothing about it!"

"Eighth Prince, your ability to spout nonsense is quite impressive, and your acting is very convincing." Jia Daoshi said calmly, not getting angry at Wu Qingfeng's words.

"I am merely stating the facts. Jia Daoshi, you are a treacherous villain. Do you think you can fool His Majesty by doing all this? You're overthinking it!"

Once in the imperial court, with the Empress present, Wu Qingfeng was certain that Jia Daoshi would not dare to kill him, and immediately began to provoke him relentlessly!

But the next second, he regretted his actions.

He thought Jia Daoshi wouldn't dare kill him, but that was just his delusion. Just as Wu Qingfeng finished speaking, Jia Daoshi had already stomped down on his chest!

"boom!"

"Crack!"

The next second, the organs inside Wu Qingfeng's chest cavity exploded inch by inch, and his bones were shattered!

Wu Qingfeng's blood had already been completely depleted, and he had lost the ability to heal himself!

This time, as he felt the excruciating pain emanating from his body, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face!

"You...you actually dare!"

He stared intently at Jia Daoshi, never expecting that Jia Daoshi would dare to take action directly in the court and stomp him to death!

As he felt the life force within his body slowly fading, Wu Qingfeng finally revealed expressions of regret and fear.

"Idiot, did you think I brought you here to start a war of words with you? All you've written is to give His Majesty a respectable appearance."

Jia Daoshi smiled faintly, showing that he didn't care at all about killing Wu Qingfeng.

You think this is just a battle of wits?

I'm too lazy to deal with all this backstabbing and scheming.

To get Ji Wuxin to hand over the throne to Ji Wuxin, it's certainly not something that can be done simply by saying a few words. If becoming emperor were as easy as saying a few words, there wouldn't be so many power struggles in history, like the Nine Princes' Succession Struggle, the Eight Princes' Succession Struggle, and so on.

Wu Qingfeng rolled his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

In the end, he could only die with his eyes wide open in disbelief!

The ministers around the Eighth Prince were stunned when they saw him die in the court!

This is a prince! You stomped him to death! Do you think it was like stepping on an ant?

Many ministers were seeing Jia Daoshi, the head of the Imperial City Guard, for the first time. Although they had heard of his infamous reputation before, they were far less shocked than when they saw him in person!

"Ninth Prince, are you very surprised? Are you very unexpected?"

After Jia Daoshi trampled Wu Qingfeng to death, he looked at Wu Qingye, who was equally shocked.

"Jia Daoshi, you're asking for death!"

At this moment, Wu Qingye could no longer remain calm.

The entire court, including civil and military officials, finally realized what was happening and all turned to look at Ji Wuxin.

With such an incident occurring in the imperial court, it remains to be seen how Empress Ji Wuxin will handle it!

This is the first time in history that a prince has been beheaded by a minister during a court session!

However, Ji Wuxin remained calm, seemingly unconcerned about Wu Qingfeng's death.

Ministers: "..."

Ji Wuxin's silence left the ministers at a loss for what to do.

Wu Qingye naturally noticed Ji Wuxin's unusual behavior. He suppressed his anger, stepped forward, and said to Ji Wuxin:

"Your Majesty, are you going to turn a blind eye to Jia Daoshi's arrogance?"

At this moment, Wu Qingye's eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears, as if he was feeling grief and indignation because of his good brother's death!

However, in response to Wu Qingye's questioning, Ji Wuxin said calmly, "Ninth Prince, do you really think I don't know what you've been doing behind my back?"

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingye was taken aback, and a chill ran through him.
