Chapter 1274: Court (4)
Qi Xiuyuan had made up his mind to let his brother continue arguing with the ministers. Although Rong Xuan also wanted to sit back and do nothing so that those people could learn a lesson, he was afraid that they would suffocate to death when he saw that a few of the ministers’ faces were already purple and red.
After some thought, Rong Xuan could only take a step forward and interrupt the Minister of Revenue. "Your Majesty, it’s getting late. Why don’t we rest for a while and continue the discussion after everyone takes a lunch break?"
Qi Xiuyuan glanced at him, displeased. Now that the situation was under Haoran’s control, how could he give the officials an opportunity to discuss countermeasures in private after the court was dismissed?
Qi Xiuyuan did not understand what Rong Xuan meant. In his opinion, it was not a problem to go without one or two meals. After all, even the Emperor himself was holding back his hunger.
The corners of Rong Xuan’s eyes twitched. He knew at a glance that the Emperor didn’t understand. He was about to remind him when Eunuch Wan rushed out of the side hall and walked to the Emperor’s side. He whispered, "Your Majesty, Queen Consort Rong has barged into the front hall."
Qi Xiuyuan’s eyelids twitched as he asked, "Why is she here?"
Eunuch Wan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Her Highness heard that King Rong forced an official to death in the hall, so she rushed over anxiously."
"She heard the news before I even ended the court session?" Qi Xiuyuan said meaningfully.
"It’s precisely because of this that Her Highness didn’t barge in. The person who spread the news to her has already been controlled and is now in the King’s Residence. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Qi Xiuyuan glanced at the ministers and said, "Let her in. Considering this matter started because of her, it would naturally be good if she can end this."
