Chapter 1268 - 1077, Killing Three Birds with One Arrow
The Emperor’s birthday celebration was underway, and no one dared to cause trouble at such a moment. With Daomang being titled Princess Chun’an, everyone, regardless of their true feelings, could only smile and offer their congratulations.
However, nothing is absolute, and indeed, there was someone reckless enough to step forward at this time.
Imperial Censor Jia ’thud’ kneeled before the great hall, and ’bang bang bang’ went three resounding kowtows, so forceful one might think the head wasn’t his own.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince, in his ambition to seize the so-called Wolong Land, wantonly slaughtered the villagers, causing hundreds of innocent villagers to lose their lives. I implore Your Majesty to seek justice for the people."
With a tone both high and heartrending, complemented by the blood trickling from Imperial Censor Jia’s head, he was vividly framed as a loyal minister preocupied with the nation’s plight.
The great hall, once filled with laughter and noise, suddenly paused and fell silent.
The Emperor coldly eyed Imperial Censor Jia, before withdrawing his gaze after a moment and picking up a cloth to wipe Daomang’s mouth.
Below, everyone was utterly shocked.
Today was the Emperor’s sixtieth birthday, even if there was something afoot, it should not be raised at this moment.
The Crown Prince and others furrowed their brows, coldly staring at Imperial Censor Jia, lost in thought.
Meanwhile, the Second Prince was trembling with rage, glaring at Imperial Censor Jia as if he wished to cut him down on the spot: "Imperial Censor Jia, you speak nonsense!"
The Fifth Prince’s expression was also dire.
