Chapter 644: The Crimes of the Prime Minister's Family
It’s strange, why would he be afraid of Yue Yuan?
When he saw the red pupils of 'Yueyuan', he immediately realized that 'Yueyuan' at this time was not the real Yueyuan, but the ferocious beast sealed in his body.
He immediately shut his mouth.
He stretched out his hand and wanted to hug Xiao Ci.
'Yue Yuan' held Xiao Ci and turned sideways, not letting him hold her.
The emperor negotiated in a gentle voice, "It's really a bit dangerous to carry him this high up. I'll carry him down, so you don't have to bother carrying Ci'er."
Seeing that Yue Yuan still didn't speak, he continued, "You can't open your arms while holding him!"
"Your delicate hands are so weak, are you sure you can protect your son?"
'Yueyuan' said this in a particularly impolite manner, without considering the other party's identity at all.
Yaoyao turned around when she heard the noise and explained in a baby voice, "Uncle Emperor, Uncle Yue is protecting Brother Xiao Ci, please don't make things worse."
emperor:"................."
My heart was stabbed and it hurt so much.
He nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Emperor will not cause you any more trouble."
The bony hands clapped the branches, and they slowly dropped.
"What are your plans now?"
Yue Yuan looked at Yao Yao and said, "This body can't withstand my spiritual sense."
Yaoyao thought for a while and said, "You go down first. You can come up when the situation is not right."
After a while, the iron-eating beast withdrew its consciousness from the Moon Abyss.
Several people fell back to the ground.
Old Lady Liu and Shen Chulan immediately surrounded her and looked at Yaoyao with concern.
"Yaoyao, are you okay? Are you hurt?" Old Mrs. Liu looked at Yaoyao with a distressed look on her face, touching her hands and her feet.
Shen Chulan hugged Yaoyao and asked, "Who was that person just now? How could he suddenly appear out of nowhere?"
Yaoyao explained after hearing this, "He is the one who refined the orcs."
Old Lady Liu thought of Taoist Hu and began to curse him with gritted teeth.
"I was wondering how that Taoist priest could even perform such sinister magic to take someone's life. Turns out he's the one who created the orcs! How cruel!"
She saw with her own eyes the stitches used to sew up the orcs' bodies. The bodies of humans and animals were taken apart alive and then grafted onto other humans and animals. One could imagine how much pain they had endured in their lifetime during this process.
Killing them now can be considered as returning dust to dust and giving them relief.
Now there is such a huge shattered mirror above my head, and the whole space has turned red, which looks very creepy.
The crisis has not been resolved yet, so Yaoyao asked the people of the capital and all the civil and military officials to gather and settle down in the palace so that they would be able to handle any problems if they arise.
The emperor readily agreed, after all they were his subjects.
Besides, he hasn't settled accounts with those officials yet.
The prime minister and his family were taken to the court to await their fate.
The Prime Minister's wife saw that Yaoyao's eyes seemed to be filled with poison, and her expression seemed to be saying that she was the one who ruined them.
"Pa" a slap hit her hard on the face.
Old Lady Liu withdrew her hand, pointed at the Prime Minister's wife and cursed, "What kind of eyes do you have, you bitch! How dare you look at my precious child like that! If you hadn't had those inappropriate thoughts over twenty years ago, Anping would have suffered this disaster! You're so stupid, yet you still want to be the boss. Don't you know what you look like?"
Not satisfied, Old Lady Liu slapped the Prime Minister's wife a few more times.
The Prime Minister and his wife knelt on the ground trembling, showing no intention of helping.
They understood that their plan had failed and that death was the only way waiting for them.
Only the Prime Minister's wife refused to believe it. With blood in her mouth, she said, "Our An'er is the daughter of Anguo Princess's fortune. You can't do this to me!"
"Bah! What lucky girl? She was stolen!" Old Lady Liu pinched her waist and spat on the Prime Minister's wife. "If you hadn't stolen our family's destiny, would you be living like this? Your old man died young, and the Prime Minister's Mansion is so huge that only has one granddaughter. What do you call this? This is retribution!"
"You have to pay a price for stealing. Your old man's death at such a young age was retribution, and your child's premature death was also retribution. You can't possibly not know the price!"
"You're talking nonsense!" The Prime Minister's wife was panicked upon hearing this. "Your cousin died because he was sick! Those children also died young because they were weak. This has nothing to do with it!"
"Haha, you know it yourself. Your poor daughter-in-law was kept in the dark by you, thinking that she lost her child because of her frail body. Little did she know that only by paying a price can she have a position of wealth and prosperity second only to the emperor!"
Old Lady Liu looked at the confused face of the Prime Minister's wife and realized that she had been kept in the dark. She sneered at the Prime Minister's wife and her family's actions even more...
He is also a poor man.
She thought so in her heart, but Old Lady Liu didn't think she was innocent at all. She knew very well that everything they had now was the status and position obtained by stealing other people's fate, but they colluded with each other and became executioners. Losing so many children was also a retribution.
It's just a pity for those children, they died just after they were born and had no chance to see the world.
"She...is everything she said true?" The Prime Minister's wife looked at him in disbelief, trying to get the answer from his eyes.
The Prime Minister probably felt that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he did not offer any explanation and kept his head down from beginning to end.
He was violently pushed to the ground by the Prime Minister's wife, who sat on him and slapped him repeatedly.
The prime minister's wife, seeing her son being ridden and beaten by her daughter-in-law, joined the fray.
The two men wrestled with each other.
"It's all your fault, it's all your fault! If it weren't for your family stealing someone's fate, how could my child have died at birth? It's all your fault, you old fool!"
"You haven't enjoyed the splendor and wealth? Has the Yuan family lacked food and drink for all these years? Doesn't everyone in the capital address you as the Prime Minister's wife? You knew this and yet you still got involved. You're innocent!"
"My poor child! If you knew that everything depended on their lives to maintain the prosperity and wealth, I would never marry into your family!"
"I bother."
Yaoyao and the others looked at the two people fighting and did not try to pull them apart. Instead, they sat aside and watched with interest.
Watching them fight, I felt a lot better for some reason.
The emperor took a sip of tea slowly and watched quietly.
He is not in a position to interfere in personal grudges.
Let Yaoyao and the others decide how to punish them.
At this moment, the prime minister, who had been kneeling quietly on the ground, suddenly jumped up and ran straight towards Xiao Ci.
