Chapter 267
The next morning, early morning court session.
In the magnificent hall, the ministers were already standing in neat rows.
The emperor sat upright on the dragon throne, his eyes deep and cold.
The emperor cleared his throat and began to issue an imperial decree. His voice was deep and powerful, and every word was full of majesty and decisiveness.
In the first imperial decree, he announced that the eldest prince Jun Yaoqi's status as a prince would be revoked and he would be thrown into the Heavenly Prison!
As soon as this imperial decree came out, the entire hall fell silent.
The ministers stared with their eyes wide open, unable to believe their ears. Jun Yaoqi rebelled, but the emperor had not dealt with him, but just locked him up. They thought that the emperor was concerned about family affection and could not make up his mind to deal with him!
The second imperial edict followed, announcing that the entire family of Jun Yaoqi's mother's family, the Liao family, would be confiscated and exiled to the northern wilderness as slaves, and would not be allowed to return to Beijing for life. This imperial edict made the entire hall boil. The ministers discussed it one after another, some expressed shock, some expressed regret, and some gloated over the misfortune.
In the third imperial decree, he announced the abolition of the title of Crown Prince Jun Yaotian and granted him the title of King Yao. This imperial decree caused the entire hall to fall into silence again.
The ministers all knew that this meant Jun Yaotian had lost the qualifications to compete for the throne, and they had to re-examine their positions and interests.
In the last imperial decree, he announced that the empress was ineffective in discipline and was confined to Kunde Hall. The harem would be managed by Consort Xian and Consort De. This imperial decree made the whole hall boil. The ministers whispered to each other, discussing the impact and consequences of this imperial decree.
The emperor issued several imperial decrees in one breath, and he instantly looked several years older. His face showed fatigue and heaviness, as if these decisions had exhausted all his energy.
The ministers all advised the emperor to think twice, but the emperor ignored them and left in anger.
When Eunuch Chang saw the emperor walking away, he immediately shouted, "Dismiss the court!!!"
The ministers looked at each other, all of them with confused expressions!
In Kunde Hall, the Queen received the imperial edict and laughed wildly, "Prince Yao? Your Majesty, you are so cruel and heartless. You really abolished my son's position as Crown Prince. Did I not discipline him well? You put me under house arrest? Hahaha..." The Queen laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
...............
The sky gradually brightened, taking on a light blue hue, and the first rays of morning light appeared on the eastern skyline.
Mo Shaoxie and his group stopped in the wild. They had been traveling all night and were physically and mentally exhausted.
Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling, got off the horse, and sat down on a big rock by the roadside.
He looked at Shangguan Ziling's tired face, and couldn't help but feel distressed. He gently stroked her face and said softly, "Ling'er, you have been traveling all night, you should go into the space and rest for a while!"
Shangguan Ziling shook her head, her eyes gleaming with determination. She looked up at Mo Shaoxie and said softly, "I sleep in your arms all the time, I'm not tired, but you, I'll ride the horse later, you take a rest."
Shangguan Ziling took out some dry food and cakes from the space and asked Qiu Kui, Dong Qing and others to share them. Qiu Kui and Dong Qing took the food and walked over to share them with Mo Feng and Mo Ying. They walked aside and sat down, eating the food silently to replenish their energy.
Mo Feng and his companions sat under a big tree, eating cakes and food. "Princess, this space is so great. It can hold anything." Mo Feng couldn't help but admire it, his eyes flashing with curiosity and envy.
Qiu Kui also nodded and agreed: "Yes! Princess, your space is really magical."
The little fat man in the space said: "Master, have you forgotten the spiritual spring water in the space? You each drink some spiritual spring water, and your physical fatigue will disappear."
Shangguan Ziling was stunned, "Yes, spiritual spring water, how could I forget about this."
Mo Shaoxie looked at Shangguan Ziling in a daze and said, "Ling'er, what's wrong?"
Shangguan Ziling said: "Spiritual spring water, I actually forgot about it."
Shangguan Ziling finished speaking and took out a few bottles of spiritual spring water from the space. Suddenly a refreshing fragrance came to her nose and she said, "This is spiritual spring water. You all take some and drink some."
Qiu Kui walked over, took the four porcelain bottles from Shangguan Ziling, then walked back and gave them to each of them. They each took a sip.
The spiritual spring water tasted sweet, as if it brought a refreshing breath that went straight to the heart. They felt that their physical fatigue disappeared instantly, and was replaced by a strong sense of spiritual rejuvenation.
"Wow! This spiritual spring water is so magical!" Mo Feng exclaimed, his face filled with surprise and excitement.
Qiu Kui also nodded, with gratitude and admiration in her eyes. She looked at Shangguan Ziling and said, "Thank you, Princess. I feel energetic now and not tired at all."
Shangguan Ziling smiled and shook her head. She looked at them and said softly, "If you feel tired or exhausted, just drink a sip."
"Yes," several people said in unison.
Shangguan Ziling took out another bottle of spiritual spring water and drank a sip herself. She looked up at Mo Shaoxie with a sly look in her eyes. She held the porcelain bottle she had drunk from and fed it to Mo Shaoxie, saying, "You drink some too."
Mo Shaoxie looked at the spiritual spring water that was fed to his mouth lovingly and took a big gulp. The cool liquid seemed to carry a magical power that instantly dispelled the fatigue and sleepiness in his body.
Shangguan Ziling looked at Mo Shaoxie's satisfied expression, she stood up and walked over, muttering, "I can't forget you." After that, she took the spiritual spring water and fed a few horses.
After drinking the magical spring water, the horses seemed to be injected with new vitality, and they neighed a few times in high spirits.
Shangguan Ziling patted the horse's head gently, her movements were gentle.
Mo Shaoxie walked over, stretched out his arm and said, "Ling'er, let's hurry up."
Shangguan Ziling nodded, and Mo Shaoxie hugged Shangguan Ziling and got on the horse.
Shangguan Ziling sat in the front, leaning on Mo Shaoxie's chest. Her heartbeat was synchronized with Mo Shaoxie's heartbeat, as if their souls had become one.
Mo Shaoxie wrapped his cloak around Shangguan Ziling and rode his horse at a gallop.
Qiu Kui, Mo Feng and others also got on their horses and followed.
The few of them started to gallop again, their horses' speed raised up the sky, leaving behind a cloud of dust, and their figures became farther and farther away in the sunlight.
