Chapter 145 The Queen's Hatred (26)
Huo Qing regretted not getting rid of the Marshal's Mansion. He wanted to take it slow. Now that Hu'er was by his side, he was afraid that if he was too radical, someone would hurt Hu'er. He wanted to slowly get the military power in the hands of Marshal Xiao. But now he was forced by these officials to kill Hu'er.
Huo Qing wanted to chop off all these ministers.
Time really didn't wait for anyone. Now he was like a fish on the chopping board, and he couldn't even protect the woman he loved.
Huo Qing tightly grasped the little fox's cold hand, his eyes swept across the faces of these righteous ministers, and he said calmly and coldly: "I have said that the woman beside me is not a golden fox in disguise. How dare Xiao Anzi, this dog slave, frame me."
"Your Majesty, why are you so stubborn?" The old master straightened his back and said in a hard voice: "If Your Majesty does not kill this evildoer who has brought disaster to the country, this old minister will die here with all the ministers. This old minister does not want Your Majesty to do anything that will damage the foundation of your ancestors, Your Majesty."
"Please, Your Majesty, kill this evildoer who has brought disaster to the country." The minister knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Huo Qing with a solemn face.
Huo Qing staggered twice in anger. Is this forcing him to die? Huo Qing did not care about the life and death of these ministers at all, but he could not be accused of being incompetent and unjust.
"Huo Qing, I'm so scared." The little fox looked at these people who kept saying they wanted to kill her, and she was so scared that her heart and gall bladder broke. The little fox felt very wronged. She was just a woman. What did her desire to be happy hinder these people? These people wanted to beat and kill her.
Huo Qing tightly grasped the little fox's hand and said loudly, "With me here, no one dares to do this to you."
"Your Majesty, you can't keep this witch. She is really a fox transformed. Your Majesty has evidence." Marshal Xiao knelt down and bowed to Huo Qing, waved to the deputy general beside him, and then the guards pressed the Taoist priests over.
"Tell me the truth, is the woman next to the emperor a fox spirit?" Marshal Xiao said harshly to these Taoist priests.
Several Taoists knelt on the ground, their robes soaked by the rain, and they looked embarrassed and haggard. The Taoists looked at each other and finally said, "The woman beside the emperor is a fox spirit. The emperor found us at the beginning because he wanted the golden fox beside him to transform into a human."
"Absurd, absolutely absurd." Huo Qing shouted, "How can a beast turn into a human? You are turning into a human for me."
Huo Qing felt very uneasy. These people came prepared. He was really careless. He should have killed the old man Xiao first, and the civil officials and military generals would not have united to force him to abdicate.
"Animals cannot transform, but I offered a thousand-year-old mermaid pearl, and the golden fox swallowed the mermaid pearl to transform into a human." An older Taoist said hurriedly.
Ning Shu: →_→
Didn't they say that there is only one mermaid pearl in the world? How come another one appeared?
"You, you..." Huo Qing pointed at the people kneeling on the ground below. The moisture splashed by the rain hit his body, which was very cold. Huo Qing suddenly felt very cold.
"Are you going to rebel and force the emperor to abdicate?" Huo Qing roared.
"We dare not. We can only put life and death aside and eliminate the evildoers around us, the evildoers that are harming the country." The old master said righteously, "Your Majesty, you have been bewitched by this evildoer and have lost your mind. You can't see the country and the people. If you let this evildoer do whatever he wants, I am afraid that Yan will be on the road to national destruction."
Huo Qing was so angry that his body was shaking. He forced himself to calm down and said coldly, "Jin Ling is just a woman. She can't overthrow the country of Yan. You think too highly of her." Huo Qing knew Hu Er. She was a person who didn't care about wealth and glory, power and play. How could she overthrow the country?
"Your Majesty, these ministers have devoted themselves to the country of Yan and died for it. Everything they did was for the country and the people. Your Majesty should give up Miss Jin Ling. Humans and demons are different." Ning Shu bowed and said to Huo Qing.
When Huo Qing heard Ning Shu's words, he immediately said in a stern voice: "Shut up, I suspect that you are jealous of Jin Ling, so you did this, Queen, your Xiao family has a large number of troops and wants to rebel. I have known your wolfish ambitions for a long time." Ning Shu's face was immediately filled with grievances, and she looked extremely wronged. She kept saying, "Your Majesty, I am just a woman in the harem. How could I have the ability to make the ministers do such a thing?" "
You are a woman, and Jin Ling is also a woman. Why do you treat her like this? Are you happy to kick someone when he is down? I really misjudged you."
Ning Shu: ...
I feel speechless. I am not talking to the little fox, but to you.
Ning Shu wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
The little fox looked at Ning Shu unkindly and said resentfully, "Empress, even if you hate me, you can't let Huo Qing fall into such a dilemma."
Ning Shu: Ah, it's not me who put Huo Qing in a dilemma, it's you.
It's your willfulness that put Huo Qing in a dilemma.
Ning Shu didn't say anything, but kept wiping her tears. Her aggrieved look made people feel sad.
"Why are you pointing fingers at my mother? She is the queen of Yan State. She manages the harem diligently and lets my father have no worries. My mother did nothing wrong. Instead, the whole palace is in a mess after you came to the palace."
Huo Chengwang said with contempt, "You have no moral principles and etiquette. You never bow to my mother when you see her. You are a beast after all."
"Huo Chengwang, shut up." Huo Qing shouted at Huo Chengwang with bloodshot eyes. "You have no right to speak here."
Huo Chengwang was frightened by Huo Qing's hideous face. He cried out, "Father, don't you want your son? Father has a demon, and even his wife and children are gone. Father, please wake up, father, wow wow wow wow..."
Ning Shu hugged Huo Chengwang, wiped her tears and said, "Chengwang, don't cry, Chengwang, don't cry."
"Mother, father only wants the vixen, not me and mother." Huo Chengwang cried loudly.
This desolate look really makes people feel sad. Huo Qing was instantly accused of abandoning his wife and children.
"You, you..." Huo Qing's blood surged in his chest, and blood foam flowed from the corners of his mouth. He stared at Ning Shu and Huo Chengwang with wide eyes, and said to Huo Chengwang with resentment: "Little wolf cub, you actually want to kill the king and kill your father."
"Father, I didn't. I just want you to leave this vixen. I and my mother can't live without you." Huo Chengwang had a sad face.
Huo Qing looked at Huo Chengwang and said coldly: "You have the blood of the Xiao family flowing in your body, and you are ambitious. I should have strangled you when you were born."
Huo Qing suddenly said such words, which made many ministers stunned. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but the current emperor actually wanted to kill his own son.
The same virtue as King Zhou of Shang.
