He took a step back, while on the other side, the beads held by his mother scattered on the ground.
Facing his mother's worried gaze, I patted her hand and instructed my older brother to take good care of her.
As expected, I was stopped in front of the palace gate.
I guarantee the lives of hundreds of people in the general's mansion, and tonight's matter is extremely urgent. The eunuch had a pained expression and sighed, but I pestered him until he had no choice but to let me into the palace. Whether I succeed or not, I will face it with courage, as there is no turning back anyway.
In the end, I will not lose.
In the study, official documents were scattered all over the floor. I saw my father kneeling on the ground, while Xie Xuan stood aside as if it had nothing to do with him.
The Son of Heaven at the head of the room had bulging blue veins on his forehead. He looked somewhat surprised when I entered, and then pretended to drink tea to calm himself.
I looked at my father's grim face and silently complained in my heart, "You reckless warrior, no one's mouth is harder than yours."
"Sneaking into the palace, you, this girl, have quite the nerve. Are you here today to plead for Your father?" After performing the formal bow, I shook my head in response to this question.
"My father is innocent, there is no need to plead for him. I entered the palace tonight for a more important matter."
The emperor raised an eyebrow and glanced over.
"This is the Book of All Peoples presented by the governor of Nanyang commandery."
I kneel before Your Majesty, holding up The Book of All Peoples in my hands. "Thousands upon thousands of refugees willingly shed blood instead of ink to expose the crimes of the imperial envoy Xie Xuan in his governance of Nanyang commandery during the epidemic, where he callously sacrificed lives, leading to the suffering of countless souls!" Xie Xuan suddenly turns his head, staring in disbelief at what I hold in my hands.
" Xie Xuan, good, you are truly a loyal servant of mine! You are a good official who considers the people!"
The emperor scanned the list of charges, and when he saw the countless names and fingerprints attached at the end, he clenched the hand holding The Book of All Peoples in anger.
He suppressed his rage, neatly stacked the long The Book of All Peoples on the desk, grabbed the teapot on the table, and threw it in Xie Xuan's direction.
Xie Xuan Standing still in place, not moving at all, when the teapot flew towards him, he didn't dodge, just gently closed his eyes. The porcelain teapot hit him right in the forehead, and the blood slowly flowed down. "Although I am guilty, it is also for the sake of controlling the epidemic that I resorted to this last resort."
Xie Xuan knelt down, and with a heavy thud, knocked his head on the ground, his voice devoid of any emotion, still confessing his sins.
"Is this your last resort? The rich buy their lives with money, the poor can't afford medicine, and when they finally have a place to stay, you set the village on fire. Did you swallow all the money allocated to you by the court?"
"No, of course not!" Xie Xuan denied vehemently.
"The prescription for treating the epidemic was initially held by a person who practiced medicine in the family. I, I spent a lot of money to get the prescription, and the required medicinal materials were in short supply at the time, so I really couldn't afford to buy them..."
"Why didn't you report it at the time? Why didn't you report it after returning to the capital?"
Xie Xuan dared not lift his head, and the sharp eyes of His Majesty swept across Xie Xuan's lowered face, and when they turned around, his gaze collided with mine.
"Girl, don't think that by exposing Xie Xuan's crimes, we will forgive Your father's abuse of power. These two matters cannot be offset against each other!"
"I didn't-" my father stood by, about to speak but was interrupted.
"You shut up and let your daughter speak."
"His Majesty's gaze swept over him, and my father obediently closed his mouth. The last time he had such insight was in front of my mother. 'Naturally, this is the achievement of the common woman, unrelated to the father,' I tilted my head and smiled slightly, looking at the person in the yellow robe in front of me with clear eyes."
"Are you really not going to plead for Your father?" His eyes narrowed dangerously. "It seems that I have misjudged you."
I blinked innocently.
"Your Majesty has not yet asked Crown Prince Xie what the name of the family of doctors he mentioned earlier is."
" Xie Xuan," His Majesty impatiently glanced at Xie Xuan on the ground, "Who is the person you mentioned?"
"It's..."
"Don't mumble!" His Majesty walked around to the front of the table and kicked Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan struggled to get up from the ground, having knelt for too long, his outer robe was also somewhat wrinkled.
"Yes, yes, Yuan Zong."
Xie Xuan's voice was very small, but in the silent hall, it was still particularly clear.
"What!"
