Chapter 208 Unwilling (one more)

The emperor looked down from the high tower and looked down at the people below. At first glance, he intuitively looked at the direction of the Dengwen Drum. At this time, he saw Gu Yanfei standing beside the Dengwen Drum.

Chu Yi was standing beside the emperor, the frost-white cloak was blown up by the wind, making a hunting sound.

He was also watching Gu Yanfei.

Gu Yanfei didn't expect Chu Yi to come back at this time, so he raised his head and smiled at him. In an instant, it was like a bud on a branch smiling and sprouting in an instant, with a bright face.

The    emperor slowly looked around at the people below and said, "All get up."

His voice had a hint of exhaustion in the cold winter wind.

The **** Zhao Rang repeated the emperor's words in a loud voice, his shrill voice resounding through the silent square.

Those people were a little surprised that the emperor was so approachable and got up one after another.

The emperor's second sentence was: "Who beat the Dengwen drum?"

Zhao Rang repeated this sentence again.

Scholar Zhang straightened his robes and walked towards the center with a slightly stiff figure, and came to the front of Chengtianmen.

The girl timidly pinched a corner of her father's robe and followed him like a shadow.

Scholar Zhang barely maintained his composure, bowed to the emperor on the tower, and answered loudly, "Your Majesty, he is a grass-man."

The square in front of Chengtianmen was empty, guarded by two rows of bronze and iron armored soldiers on both sides.

The onlookers stood far away. In fact, they couldn't see the emperor's appearance. They only felt that the emperor had a clear appearance and a noble bearing.

The people couldn't help but feel uneasy and wait and watch the changes.

The emperor on the tower then asked, "Who is preventing people from playing the drum?"

The group of yamen headed by the class leader did not dare to agree to the two battles, but they didn't say it, and their own Li Zongqi said for them: "Back to the emperor, it's the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion."

President Li's heart sank a little, knowing that he would not be able to escape the charge of inaction today by sitting by and watching such a messenger take action against ordinary people. Even Jing Zhaoyin hated him in his heart.

The cold wind blew ruffled the emperor's beard.

The emperor shook his beard and said coldly, "The Governor of Xuanjing Zhao."

The yamen listened, their feet softened, and they knelt down again in an instant, their heads on the ground in fear, not daring to move at all.

The emperor asked Zhang Scholar again: "Who is the one who complains? Why are you beating the drum?"

Scholar Zhang still has a lot of ups and downs in his heart, panic and apprehension.

Now the arrow is on the string, and I have to send it.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he was no longer afraid, and continued: "Zhang Min, a grass-roots man, sues Her Royal Highness the princess for ordering people to kidnap innocent children in order to take the blood of their hearts and make alchemy to cure diseases..."

The more Zhang Min spoke, the more angry he became, the more excited he became, his eyes were red, and his chest heaved violently.

Zhang Min only said that he would sue the eldest princess, but did not mention the emperor at all. In fact, he and others present suspected that the emperor knew about or even condoned his daughter, but he did not dare to criticize the emperor.

"..." The emperor on the tower closed his eyes, and his heart was full of extremely complex and strong emotions.

Even though the emperor had heard Gu Yuan's story before, but now that he was in the scene and heard the party say it again, he felt a chill in his heart.

If there is really a way to save his daughter, the emperor can pay all the price, but he will never trade other people's lives for his daughter's life.

And now, his daughter is dying, only two days to live, and some people are making trouble outside in the name of her daughter.

Just thinking about it, the emperor felt a pain in his heart, his hands and feet were cold with anger, and his thin body trembled slightly.

Chu Yi walked down from the tower in a leisurely manner, and while walking, he asked Zhang Min:

"What certificate do you have?"

Chu Yi's clear and clear voice was like the gentle spring breeze in March blowing across the square.

Although Zhang Min didn't know who this young man in white was, but seeing that the other party could speak on behalf of the emperor, he was obviously a nobleman.

He made up his mind, and replied in a proper manner: "The little girl is the witness. The little girl escaped from the palace by luck, saying that it was to save the eldest princess, so she wanted to take their blood and let the real people of Shangqing refine their hearts. Dan..."

The surroundings were quiet again.

"Shangqing?" Chu Yi recited it lightly, with no emotion in his calm tone.

can be heard from Zhang Min, but the other party is questioning the matter.

"It's really a real person." Zhang Min said quickly, "The little girl will never lie."

The girl snuggled up beside her father and nodded nervously.

There was suddenly a high-pitched shout from a young man among the onlookers: "I will find out if the real Shangqing entered the palace yesterday to check!"

As soon as these words came out, the other people also felt reasonable and nodded, and some people said: "I went to the Infinite Temple early in the morning, and the Taoist priest in the temple said that the real Shangqing was declared to the palace yesterday, and he didn't return all night."

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd, like ripples on the surface of the lake.

Chu Yi continued to walk forward, and said in a loud voice, "The eldest princess is indeed ill."

"The Shangqing said that one hundred virgins and 100 virgins should be used, and the blood of their hearts should be used to refine the heart pills to prolong the life of the eldest princess, otherwise the eldest princess will not survive for three days."

His words were clearly spread all over the surrounding dozens of meters, reaching the ears of everyone present.

These words were beyond everyone's expectations.

They thought that the royal family would categorically deny the matter, but they did not expect that this young man would bluntly admit that there was indeed a "heart pill".

The crowd didn't feel happy, but their hearts sank.

The emperor    visited Chengtianmen in person, but only to temporarily appease the anger of the people.

The eldest princess has done such a humiliating thing. Will the royal family put the blame on the slaves, saying that the slaves made their own decisions? !

Kill a few people, and then let it go?

The people were in an uproar for a while, and for a while they forgot their awe of the royal family, and they became more and more noisy.

The Grand Duke takes the lives of their children, so what should they do? !

The emotions of several people who lost their children are about to collapse. They are angry, sad, and even more powerless. They don't know what else these humble people can do in the face of the emperor's power? !

"The women are willing to take blood for their children happily." The middle-aged woman who came with Zhang Min suddenly rushed to Zhang Min's father and daughter's side like a wild beast, knelt directly on the ground, and shouted at the emperor on the tower Kowtow again and again, "Your Majesty, I beg you! Minwomen are willing to replace their lives with one life."

Her real look and voice are very infectious.

Soon, the family members of other children also kowtowed to the emperor one after another, expressing their willingness to give their hearts and blood in place of their children.

This scene deeply moved the other onlookers, all of whom had sore eyes and choked up slightly.

The people around    were clamouring again, and they beat waves one after another like waves.

"Shangqing said that it is against the family relationship, and the eldest princess is unwilling." Chu Yi's calm voice sounded again, "The emperor is also unwilling."

His beautiful voice seems to have a unique penetrating power, passing through people's eardrums and gently tapping on the hearts of everyone;

is like a clear mountain stream and a clear spring coming, washing away the dryness in everyone's heart.

Chu Yi continued: "The Buddha said: work in this life, retribution in the next life. The emperor's love for his daughter will not let the eldest princess add guilt and bring disaster to the next life."

Chu Yi's speech is concise and straightforward, without pretense.

But most of the people present were not persuaded by Chu Yi, they only thought that these remarks were just good-sounding and obedient, in fact, there was no empirical support.

There are many people in this world who do not hesitate to make huge mistakes in order to survive!

What's more, it's always a fact that so many children in the capital are missing?

Who kidnapped those children, if it wasn't for the royal family, who else could kidnap so many children silently overnight? !

The people were full of doubts.

But even if some people don't believe it and think it's a perfunctory excuse by the royal family, they don't dare to talk nonsense. .

Everyone is talking, even if they are not loud, but they are intertwined and inevitably noisy, and the restlessness in the square has not subsided for a long time.

Chu Yi's gaze passed through the noisy and impetuous crowd and looked at a snow-blue slim figure.

"Besides," Chu Yi said in a steady tone, "the eldest princess' illness does not require a heart pill."

What's the meaning? ! This sentence made those impetuous people startled again, and looked up at him in astonishment.

All the clamorous sounds around him disappeared in an instant, and there was silence, except for the sound of hunting and hunting flags in the cold wind.

In the crowd, I don't know who asked in a loud voice: "Who said that?"

"Shangqingzhen's Taoism is profound, and it can live and die. Everyone in the capital knows this!"

"The Shangqing people said so, is there any exception?!"

The rough voice said it plausibly, which made the people in the vicinity all listen to it with sympathy.

"I said."

It was not Chu Yi who answered him, but another clear and loud female voice.

"The princess doesn't need a heart pill."

Gu Yanfei walked out of the crowd and walked to Zhang Min's father and daughter's side.

There was a confident smile on the corner of her lips, with a bit of pride and publicity, but because of her outstanding appearance and free and easy temperament, it was not offensive.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Gu Yanfei.

"Isn't this the girl just now?" Someone in the crowd pointed at Gu Yanfei and said, "Even that monster wind can't blow her down."

"Yes, yes." Someone immediately echoed excitedly, with a high-pitched voice, "The wind broke up when she met her, she must be a god!"

"And that yacha wanted to be rude to her, so he fell and ate shit."

"The demon wind just now... No, did the gust of wind arise because of her?"

It was too chaotic when the wind blew, and most of the people were blown away by the strong wind. In fact, they didn't see what was going on, but at this time, listening to other people's swearing words, I felt that I had seen it just now.

This person said that the girl just walked without her feet touching the ground, and was sent by the wind; the person said that when the yacha was rude to her, she saw a wind blade splitting out...
