Mingchang continued to be obstinate. Although they did not voice it, they thought so in their hearts. Because of this, they looked down on me a little and were unwilling to treat my son.
In the past, I had even cursed that my son would not live long, yet he had survived all these years, proving that their medical skills were lacking.
So what do you want?
Your Majesty, Mingchang has already found the Prescription to save Huanbao. Huanbao has already turned, but ever since Qi Xiaomian pulled the body from the Moat, Huanbao's condition has worsened. I implore Your Majesty to save Huanbao by sinking the body back to the riverbed.
You are confessing without being pressed, and you show no remorse.
The expression on Xuande Emperor's face turned completely cold. Was that body in the palace's Abandoned Well also your doing?
Mingchang shot a resentful glance at Xuande Emperor. Your Majesty, that body is of utmost importance! How could you agree to let Qi Xiaomian bring it out? Huanbao has coughed up blood today; it must be because of this.
So, over the years, you have caused seventy-four deaths?!
Your Majesty, that is not important.
Xuande Emperor slammed his hand on the tea table. Then what is important?
Naturally, it is Huanbao's life! Just a few slaves; Your Majesty need not concern yourself with them.
Need not concern myself? Those are my subjects! You have harmed them so cruelly, yet you act as if nothing has happened! The matter has escalated; over seventy lives lost! The court and the people are in an uproar, demanding severe punishment for the culprit.
What you should be worried about now is not your son's life; you should be worried about your own life and even that of Prince Ning and your husband's family.
Mingchang County remained unconcerned. It can't be that serious, right? Your Majesty must be trying to scare me. The people I bought cannot be killed!
Sitting on the throne, killing a servant indeed does not seem like much. However, Xuande Emperor aspired to be a wise ruler; he needed a reasonable justification for executing a servant to avoid public outcry. He held himself to this standard and hoped that other members of the royal family would not tarnish his reputation.
Mingchang County's actions were only bringing him disgrace.
Moreover, Xuande Emperor still remembered what happened that day at Sky Tower. He did not believe it was mere coincidence; if it weren't for those Sunken Corpses at the riverbed, the incident with the elevator might never have occurred.
As he thought about this, his anger surged once more.
You scoundrel! How can you treat human lives so lightly!
Mingchang cried out, Your Majesty, Uncle Emperor, please have pity on your niece! Huanbao is my niece's life! It's just about sinking a dead body back down; how can you be so heartless?
At this moment, Qi Xiaomian spoke up. The Prescription mentioned by the county should involve more than just seventy-four bodies, right?
For a moment, Mingchang's cries stopped as she cast a guilty glance at Xuande Emperor.
Xuande Emperor, furious, asked, Why are you feeling guilty? Is it possible there are truly more than seventy-four bodies?
Your Majesty, Mingchang is putting on a pitiful act. The prescription states that eighty-one should be prepared, with one in the center and ten from each direction. Do you still intend to kill?
In response to Your Majesty, my niece had already completed the killings before she arrived. We can just sink them, but the river has been sealed by Qi Xiaomian, and our housekeeper has also been taken by them.
The Xuande Emperor was stunned by her appearance, and you—you are simply outrageous! This matter has caused quite a stir in the city, and yet you still dare to kill!
Your Majesty, as long as we eliminate them, Huanbao will be saved. With their worthless lives exchanged for Huanbao's health, this is what we call a justified death.
