"Greetings, Prime Minister Zhu!"
Almost all the civil and military officials knelt down in an orderly fashion.
This was Zhu Hongzhu's pinnacle. Even when the Zhu clan was in control of the court, there was no such ceremony.
But now, Zhu Hongxue's Blood Soul Army had defeated Shen Lang. From now on, the Zhu clan could cover the sky with one hand. If the future King Ning Shao disobeyed, the Zhu clan could even depose him. After this battle, Zhu Hongzhu would be the ruler of the State of Yue.
Ning Yi's kneeling was especially straightforward. He stared at Zhu Hongzhu with wide eyes, longing to receive the attention of his "grandfather."
In the past, Zhu Hongzhu would have reveled in this moment. But now, there was only endless bitterness. Everyone's respect and fawning was like a whip lashing against his body. It was like a thorn in his back. But this show had to continue. It had to satisfy a certain bastard's bad taste.
"Rise, rise." Zhu Hongzhu raised his hand. "How can you bow to me like this in front of His Majesty? That's absurd. "
Only then did all the civil and military officials stand up.
Then Ning Shao walked down from his throne and helped Zhu Hongzhu. "Prime Minister, please sit."
Then he found that there was another person supporting Zhu Hongzhu. It was Ning Yi. Ning Shao's heart froze. Ning Yi, do you still have any ideas at this time? Your reputation is extremely bad and you've lost an arm. You still dream of becoming the King of Yue?
Just like that, two people helped Zhu Hongzhu to sit on a chair in the hall. How laughable. Their father, Ning Yuanxian, was slumped and drooling on his seat. They didn't care and ran over to show their filial piety to Zhu Hongzhu.
In these two years of court meetings, Prime Minister Zhu Hongzhu always had a seat. It was at the very top of the hall but below the steps. Now, in order to curry favor, Ning Shao had Zhu Hongzhu's seat on the steps. It was even closer to his throne.
After Zhu Hongzhu sat down, Ning Shao couldn't help but look outside. Where was his trusted eunuch, Eunuch Nian? Just now, he had sent this person to the Zhu manor to personally welcome Zhu Hongzhu into the palace. Now that Zhu Hongzhu was here, he had disappeared?
Who was this Eunuch Nian? Not only was he Ning Shao's confidant, but he was also his bed partner? At least in this palace, he and Ning Shao were much closer than he was to the queen. That was why Eunuch Nian was fearless and did not care about etiquette. He thought of himself as Ning Shao's favorite in the inner palace.
Ever since Niao Juecheng inherited everything from the Great Tribulation Temple, their relationships had become so messy. Ning Shao had already been open to both men and women since he was a teenager.
Eunuch Nian and Ning Shao spent a lot of time together, and their relationship almost surpassed that of a normal married couple.
But at this time, Ning Shao temporarily put this intimate male pet to one side. Returning to his throne, he respectfully said, "Prime Minister, shall we begin?"
Zhu Hongzhu bowed from his seat and said: "Everything shall be as Your Majesty decrees."
Ning Shao bowed and then sat down. In a clear voice, he said, "Ministers, although there is no clear edict in today's court meeting, everyone knows what has happened. About a few months ago, a rebel returned with tens of thousands of pirates, claiming to be the Return of the King. "
The thousands of officials below were silent.
Ning Shao continued, "The almighty Emperor did not pay attention to this clown. This shows his trust in the State of Yue. It is our supreme honor. That is why the glorious mission of annihilating the Shen Lang rebel has fallen to me. How much trust does Your Majesty have in us?"
With that, Ning Shao cupped his hands and bowed in the direction of Yan Capital. The thousands of officials below knelt down neatly, but not to Ning Shao, but to Yan Capital.
"Some time ago, there was a so-called decisive battle in Tianyue City. This rebel, Shen Lang, tried to overthrow the authority of the State of Yue. What was the result? Yesterday, not even an hour had passed since the start of the battle, and his entire army had been annihilated. My Yue Nation had obtained complete victory! "
This Spring and Autumn Period technique was truly amazing. It wiped away all of the previous failures and took all of the credit for the Blood Soul Army. Of course, even if the Blood Soul Army won, Sky-sea Pavilion would not care about it. This was because this army was nominally affiliated with the State of Yue.
The hundreds of officials knelt down again and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Ning Shao said, "What does this great victory prove? What does it prove? Ning Qi, what do you think? "
Ning Qi said, "The Empire of Great Yan is invincible."
"Yes, the Empire of Great Yan is invincible." Ning Shao said in a clear voice, "This is all thanks to Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty watches over us, the army of the State of Yue will be invincible. This battle has further proven that Shen Lang is merely a jumping clown. Let's not talk about him not being a match for His Majesty the Emperor. Even I do not have the qualifications to personally lead the army. Therefore, some of you should not blindly raise Shen Lang's status. The so-called rebellion of the world refers to his shameless crimes and not his status. "
"Some people say that the people of the State of Yue are all in Shen Lang's hands? Others say that when Shen Lang's army went to Tian Yue City, countless people sent them off and cheered for Shen Lang's victory. All of these are shameless and absurd rumors. In my Yue Country, other than an extremely small number of rebels, all of the officials and citizens condemned Shen Lang's rebellious actions without any hesitation, treating him as a shameless traitor. The loyalty of my Yue Country to His Majesty the Emperor can be seen by the heavens and earth. "
"Now, this farce is finally over. Shen Lang's rebellion broke out in the State of Yue, so it ended in the State of Yue. Now, I can finally answer to Your Majesty. "
Then, Ning Shao stood up from his throne and knelt in the direction of Yan Capital. He kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I did not let you down. I have wiped out Shen Lang's rebel army. Long live Great Yan Empire, long live His Majesty!"
When he knelt down, Zhu Hongzhu also got up from his seat and knelt down. All the officials had just stood up when they knelt down again. They kowtowed and shouted, "Long live His Majesty! Long live His Majesty!"
After the grand ceremony, Ning Shao stood up and returned to his throne. After that, he sat down and said slowly, "Of course, there's still an extremely small number of traitors that refuse to realize their errors even until now, and they sympathize with and even pledge loyalty to Chen Lang. Where would you place His Majesty's supreme dignity? "
"Ning Zheng!" King Yue Ning Shao shouted, "Come up here."
Ning Zheng slowly walked into the main hall in shackles. He was completely silent.
Ning Shao said, "Now that things have come to this, do you know your crime?"
Ning Zheng said, "I am not guilty."
Ning Zheng said slowly, "Although you are a rebel, you are still my younger brother. On account of your ignorance, I can plead with His Majesty. As long as you say in front of all the officials that Shen Lang is a rebel, everyone in the world has the right to punish him. I can let you off the hook. But if you continue to be stubborn and loyal to Shen Lang, then your crime is unforgivable. Today, I will behead you in public to appease the people. "
Ning Zheng said plainly, "Shen Lang is my lord. This has never changed. I, Ning Zheng, only recognize the Jiang family, not the Ji family. "
"How dare you! Shut up!" Ning Shao said sternly, "How dare you say such disobedient words in front of all the officials. How can you face the ancestors of the Ning clan?"
"Ning Zheng is a rebel and deserves to be punished. He will be beheaded immediately."
Then, Ning Shao shouted, "Bian Xiao."
The shackled Bian Xiao walked into the hall. He wasn't that skinny, and because his martial arts were too high, the tendons in his limbs were severed.
"Bian Xiao, do you know your crime?" Ning Shao asked.
Bian Xiao looked at Ning Shao disdainfully and said nothing.
Ning Shao sneered, "Bian Xiao, you have a thousand people in your family. How innocent are you? The heavens have the virtue of cherishing life, and I do not wish to start a massacre. So as long as you admit that Shen Lang is a rebel, everyone in the world has the right to punish him. The Bian clan will only kill you and not implicate you. How about that? “
Bian Xiao spat out a mouthful of saliva.
Ning Shao's face twitched. He said slowly, "Bian clan is guilty of following the rebel Shen Lang. Their entire clan is to be executed."
"Zhang Chong?"
Zhang Chong walked into the hall.
Ning Shao said, "I will not repeat myself. Do you know your crime?"
Zhang Chong ignored Ning Shao and looked at Zhu Hongzhu. He said, "Prime Minister Zhu, many years ago, I used to think of you as a role model for civil officials. I even made you my life's goal. Now that I think of it, it is a disgrace."
Zhu Hongzhu pretended not to hear anything, as if he didn't hear anything.
"Shut up. You are at death's door, and you still speak so arrogantly?" Ning Shao said coldly, "Imperial decree. Zhang Chong's entire clan is guilty of following the rebel Shen Lang. Their entire clan is to be executed. Zhang Chong is to be executed by a thousand cuts."
In the end, he looked at Ning Qi and said slowly, "Duke Qi? Do you know your crime? "
Ning Qi bowed and said, "This official is useless."
"Useless?" Ning Shao sneered, "I would like to hear how useless you are."
Ning Qi said, "In the battle a few days ago, my army of a hundred thousand was routed. One useless general exhausted the army to death."
Ning Shao said, "So you are not loyal to Shen Lang?"
Ning Qi said, "This official doesn't dare."
Ning Shao looked at Ning Qi. In his view, Ning Qi's life and death were completely in his hands. If he said Ning Qi was guilty, then he was guilty. He didn't want to kill Ning Qi. After all, this person might be of some use against the Zhu clan.
"Ning Qi, I believe in your loyalty," King Ning Shao said. "Ning Zheng's status is special. After all, he is a member of the royal family of the Ning clan. Others have no right to kill him. How about I give this task to you? You did not fight well in the battle a few days ago, so you need to express your feelings to the world. Otherwise, people will say that you sympathize with Shen Lang's rebellion. "
The meaning of these words was very clear. If Ning Qi personally cut off Ning Zheng's head, then he was innocent. If he didn't kill him, then he was loyal to Shen Lang. That was why the army of a hundred thousand collapsed without a fight.
Here it comes again, here it comes again! Ning Qi's heart was in great pain.
Ning Qi looked at Ning Zheng, then at Zhu Hongzhu. Finally, he looked at the tall and straight Blood Soul Army.
The Blood Soul Army was too arrogant. Even Ning Qi hadn't met them personally, so he couldn't see any clues.
More than two years ago, Ning Qi didn't want to kill Ning Yuanxian and Ning Zheng. That was why he gave up the throne and let Ning Shao replace him.
Ning Qi looked at Ning Yuanxian again. Father, you said that the sun might rise again after it sets. But where is the sun now? Where is it?
Ning Qi used to be very smart, ruthless, and decisive. He showed amazing political skills and means. If it was more than two years ago, he might be able to see the flaws in all this. But now he had lost his direction and was completely confused. His eyes were no longer sharp. The only thing he could hold on to was the bottom line in his heart.
More than two years ago, Ning Yuanxian and Ning Zheng didn't kill him. This was the bottom line in Ning Qi's heart.
Suddenly, Ning Qi sighed and said, "Your Majesty wants me to kill Ning Zheng, but I can't do it."
Ning Shao said coldly, "Are you sure you can't do it?"
Ning Qi looked up at Ning Shao and said, "I can't do it."
King Yue Ning Shao said, "Draft an edict. Strip Ning Qi of all his titles and imprison him in the Imperial Clan Temple Prison to await punishment."
Then he said slowly, "Ning Zheng's identity is special, but his crime is unforgivable. Who will execute him? I can't do it myself, right? "
Eldest Princess Ning Luo stepped out and said, "I will do it."
Ning Yi's face twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Ning Luo said, "As a woman, can't I execute the traitor in my family?"
Ning Shao said, "Alright, then Eldest Princess Ning Luo will execute Ning Zheng personally."
At this time, Zhu Hongzhu coughed lightly.
King Yue Ning Shao looked at Zhu Hongzhu, but he didn't dare to say things like "Prime Minister take care of yourself". Wouldn't that be mocking Zhu Hongzhu's poor health? But he knew what Zhu Hongzhu meant. He wanted him to return to the throne of Shen Lang.
Ning Shao said loudly, "Officials, in the decisive battle at Tian Yue City, the State of Yue not only killed Shen Lang's rebel army, but also beheaded Shen Lang. From now on, the State of Yue will be at peace. All of this is due to the benevolence of His Majesty the Emperor."
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!" Ning Shao kowtowed once again in the direction of Yan Capital.
Zhu Hongzhu had no choice but to kneel again. The officials also had no choice but to kowtow and shout, "Long live the Emperor."
After Ning Shao stood up, he didn't sit back down. He shouted loudly, "Someone, bring the head of Shen Lang."
The few thousand people present were suddenly excited. Today's court meeting was finally reaching its climax.
Everyone craned their necks. Shen Lang had finally died. It really wasn't easy for him. Since a few years ago, this person had been creating miracles and subverting everyone's understanding.
Now that he was dead, an era had come to an end. Many people present could finally be at ease.
A warrior rushed in with a box in his hands. He raised his hands high into the air.
Ning Shao laughed loudly, "I have never seen Shen Lang before. But today, I am going to see his head. I didn't expect it to be a dead man the first time I see him. Ning Zheng, Bian Xiao, Zhang Chong, this is the ruler that you have pledged your loyalty to. Now that his head is in this box, you should give up completely. "
When Ning Shao said this, he looked at Ning Yuanxian.
At this point, Ning Yuanxian was still trembling and drooling. He sat crookedly on his seat.
"Father, are you really crazy, or are you pretending to be crazy? But regardless of whether you are crazy or not, after seeing Shen Lang's head, you should have lost all hope. "
"Father, you're actually pinning all your hopes on such a clown. How ridiculous and laughable is that? Ning Yuanxian, you are a joke in this life, a complete joke. Now, all of you should open your eyes and take a good look. The Shen Lang that you all saw as your hope and miracle is dead! "
Of course, Ning Shao did not say these words out loud in his heart.
"Open the box and let everyone see clearly. This is the head of the traitor Shen Lang!" Ning Shao shouted.
"Yes!" The warrior replied. Then, he slowly opened the box and revealed the head inside.
Ning Shao instinctively wanted to kneel down and shout at the Yan Capital that the Great Yan Empire was invincible and that the Emperor's might could shake the world.
However, in the next second, he was completely stunned when he saw the head in the box. This... this was not Shen Lang's head. This... this was clearly his lover, the person closest to him, Eunuch Nian.
Alright, Shen Lang was also very helpless. This was because he really couldn't find a more ironic and weighty head. He had already killed Ning Shao's eldest son once.
All the officials present were completely stunned. They stared in disbelief at the head in the box. It was handsome, beautiful, and twisted. Wasn't this Eunuch Nian who served King Ning Shao? That arrogant and presumptuous Eunuch Nian with a feminine charm?
Didn't they say that it was Shen Lang's head? Where was Shen Lang?
At this moment, the young warrior who was holding the box took off his helmet, revealing Shen Lang's incomparably handsome face. He turned 360 degrees in the main hall and said with a smile, "Ning Shao, ministers, are you surprised? Are you surprised? "
Then, Shen Lang waved his hand!
All the 3,000 Blood Soul Soldiers in the palace took off their helmets and revealed their original faces. They were all Amazonian female warriors. How were they Blood Soul Soldiers?
"Everyone, are you surprised? Are you surprised? "
Then, Shen Lang waved his hand again and another 1,000 people rushed in, carrying one huge box after another.
"Open!"
Following Shen Lang's order, all the big boxes were suddenly opened, and countless human heads rolled out from within.
They were all Sky-sea Pavilion Blood Soul Soldiers.
The Skeleton Party's warriors used their fastest speed, and used close to 20 thousand heads to pile up in the main hall to form 10 temples.
The pyramids of human heads were dripping with blood and looked sinister and terrifying.
Shen Lang said again, "Everyone, are you surprised? Are you surprised? "
There was dead silence.
It was as if countless lightning bolts had struck down, directly shaking them out of their wits and causing them to lose all ability to react.
This world was too crazy, too terrifying!
The 20,000 Blood Soul Soldiers of Sky-sea Pavilion were all annihilated?
How, how was this possible? This was the Blood Soul Army that had annihilated millions of soldiers in the Western Region.
It was one thing for Shen Lang to create those miracles previously, but now he had actually annihilated the Blood Soul Army? Are you a human or a ghost?
Shen Lang slowly walked in front of Zhu Hongzhu and smiled, "Master Zhu, what do you think of my performance?"
Zhu Hongzhu's face trembled as he looked at Shen Lang in pain and thought, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't force me to take a stand? Didn't you say that you would leave me with my last bit of dignity? "
Shen Lang said softly, "You don't want to cooperate? I will kill your entire family. "
Zhu Hongzhu trembled and said, "Good, very good."
Shen Lang said, "I acted well, why aren't you clapping?"
Zhu Hongzhu's entire body turned cold, he really wanted to die on the spot, but he could not die now, if he did not cooperate, Shen Lang would really kill his entire family.
"Clap clap clap …" Zhu Hongzhu trembled as he stood up and clapped.
The clapping sounded out, and there was actually an echo in the hall, making it seem so lonely.
Shen Lang then walked in front of Zhu Jung and said, "Master Zhu Jung, what do you think? Did I act well? "
Zhu Jung's scalp went numb and he also began to clap. As expected of a smart person, he didn't even wait for Shen Lang to speak and he already knew what to do.
Shen Lang said, "Aren't you going to kneel and clap?"
Zhu Jung gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Lang, his heart trembling. Shen Lang, do you really want to be so shameless? You didn't make me kneel last night, but now you want me to kneel?
Of course, last night it was all my people, Shen Lang. Who did you, Zhu Jung, kneel for? And now the entire court is your people, I will only feel good if you kneel in front of everyone.
"If you don't kneel, I will kill your entire family," Shen Lang said in a low voice.
F * ck your mother, can't you say something else? You are the emperor of the East, aren't you a hooligan?
However, under the countdown of Shen Lang's fingers, Zhu Jung slowly knelt down and began to clap.
Not bad, not bad, two people applauded.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap …"
Zhu Hongzhu and Zhu Jung kept clapping, not daring to listen at all. Because if they moved a little slower, Shen Lang began to show a threatening look and began to count down with his fingers, showing his shameless face.
Therefore, they could only keep clapping, and the whole hall could only hear the clapping of the two people. It was so embarrassing, so painful.
"Clap, clap, clap …" Then, there was a third clap in the hall.
Shen Lang frowned. Who was this? Who dared to clap? If I don't allow them to clap, who dares?
"Little bastard, are you done acting?" A trembling voice came from the hall, full of infinite ecstasy and excitement.
Everyone looked up and saw the Highest King, Ning Yuanxian, clapping slowly on the throne at the top of the hall. Although his body was trembling, his eyes were clear and wise, without any sign of madness.
"Little bastard, I knew you would do this. I knew you would do this yesterday. I knew what kind of shit you were going to shit the moment you stuck out your butt." Ning Yuanxian clapped his hands while shedding tears.
Shen Lang forcefully blinked his eyes and did his best to stop his tears from flowing. He walked up the stairs and hugged Ning Yuanxian's body as he choked with sobs, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Imperial Father. I've come late.
What Shen Lang held in his hands were almost all bones, and he was shaking uncontrollably, which made Shen Lang feel even more heartache.
"Not late at all, not late at all," Ning Yuanxian said with tears gushing out, "I am not dead yet, how can you say I am late? Son, you are too early. You should come back later and be fully prepared, so that you don't have to take such a risk. You took such a big risk this time, and I was almost scared out of my wits. "
Shen Lang said with tears, "I am afraid that if I am late, I … I will not see you again."
Ning Yuanxian laughed and cried, "You have underestimated me, and you have also underestimated Ning Zheng."
Shen Lang hugged Ning Yuanxian for a few minutes, and then he stopped crying and let go of him, saying with a smile, "Father, Ning Yan is pregnant again. We specially gave birth to this child for you and Mother Bian to play with."
"Good, good, good …" Ning Yuanxian said, "I will teach him to read and write in person. Your handwriting is too poor."
Shen Lang said in his heart, "Father-in-law, our handwriting is almost the same. It looks good on the surface, but it is actually very vulgar."
Of course, he thought so, but he gave a thumbs-up and said, "Father-in-law, your handwriting is really excellent."
Ning Yuanxian's Parkinson's disease became more serious. Even if he did not pretend to be crazy, he could not control the saliva at the corner of his mouth. So Shen Lang gently wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.
"Well, I have been comforted by you." Ning Yuanxian said with a smile, "I enjoyed the show today. I will go back to my room and have a rest. When will you go back to the Nu Tiao City, take me and Mother Bian with you. I have been trapped in the palace for dozens of years, and I can go with my son-in-law to relax."
"Okay!" Shen Lang said. With a wave of his hand, someone immediately brought over a wheelchair. This was a brand new wheelchair that Shen Lang had personally designed.
Shen Lang went forward and gently carried Ning Yuanxian into the wheelchair. Then he said to all the civil and military officials, "Please wait a moment. I will send my father-in-law back to his room to have a rest. I will be back soon!"
"Li Sun, Li Sun …" Shen Lang shouted.
A moment later, a figure ran in quickly. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.
This was the former eunuch Li Sun. His tendons and veins had been cut, and he had almost lost his martial arts. He could barely walk.
He ran to Shen Lang and Ning Yuanxian, knelt down, and kowtowed. "Your Majesties, I am here."
His thin face was covered with scars, and his smile was uglier than crying.
Shen Lang stretched out three fingers and said, "They are the three Majesties."
The eunuch Li Sun gently slapped himself and said, "Yes, yes, I am confused. They are the three Majesties."
Then, Shen Lang pushed the wheelchair and sent Ning Yuanxian back to his room to have a rest.
Ning Yuanxian did not want to stay in the palace not because he was tired, but because he had already abdicated. From now on, he had nothing to do but to teach his grandson.
… …
When he returned to his room, Su Fei was sitting there in a daze. She kept wiping her tears and even sobbing.
When the door was opened, she almost instinctively knelt down. She was too afraid of Ning Shao, who was a beast.
The next moment, she saw Ning Yuanxian, who was completely awake, and Shen Lang behind him. She was completely stunned.
She almost instinctively rubbed her eyes, thinking that she was hallucinating or dreaming.
Shen Lang looked at Su Fei with mixed feelings. This world was really a joke. Su Fei and Su Nan used to be his sworn enemies. However, Su Fei had been taking care of Ning Yuanxian for the past two years. Although she did not dare to fight against Ning Shao and Ning Yi, she took good care of Ning Yuanxian. At least, he did not live a sloppy life. As for Su Nan, she had always been following Jin Jun and fighting for him, Shen Lang.
"Su Fei, you have worked hard for the past two years." Shen Lang said.
Su Fei shook her head desperately. Then, she could not help but burst into tears.
Ning Yuanxian said, "Su Fei, I am hungry. Let's cook."
"Oh, okay, okay, okay …" Su Fei glanced at Ning Yuanxian again and then walked toward the kitchen.
In the past two years, she had always suspected that Ning Yuanxian was pretending to be crazy. But after a year, she did not doubt it anymore. She really thought that Ning Yuanxian was crazy because he always showed that he was stupid and stupid. Even in front of her, he did not show any flaws.
Shen Lang waved his hand and said, "Come, bring it in."
After a while, a few female warriors came over with something that was sparkling and translucent.
Shen Lang scooped a mouthful and fed it to Ning Yuanxian.
"What is it? It is cold, elastic and soft. Delicious, delicious …" Ning Yuanxian cheered like a child, as if it was the first time he had tasted something delicious.
Shen Lang said, "I specially invented it for you. It is jelly!"
Then, Shen Lang took out a painting and opened it in front of Ning Yuanxian. The person in the painting was Ning Yuanxian. Moreover, it was Ning Yuanxian from two or three years ago. He was delicate, young, mighty, and liked to show off.
Although the face was blurred, Ning Yuanxian's temperament was very realistic. It was vividly drawn on the paper. Ning Yuanxian could almost recognize him at a glance. He even fell into the memories of two or three years ago.
This was not drawn by Shen Lang. It was drawn by a child. It was full of spirit and childlike charm. There were a few words written on the painting, "Grandpa Xian."
"Which one of your treasures is this?" Ning Yuanxian felt as if his heart was nourished by a sweet spring. He was infected by this painting and was filled with infinite beauty.
Shen Lang said, "This was drawn by Yao Yao. I often talk to her about you, so before coming to Tianyue City, she drew this painting and asked me to give it to you. She is the daughter of me and Chou Yao'er. Of course, she is not just Chou Yao'er. In short, she is the smartest and cutest child in this world. She is a pixie gifted to me by the heavens."
Ning Yuanxian took the painting and carefully looked at every line. He used his trembling hands to touch it. Then, he smiled and said, "Then can you share a little of this pixie with me?"
"Alright, I have a bunch of children at home waiting for you to teach them," Shen Lang said.
Ning Yuanxian looked at the painting while eating the jelly. He felt sweet in his heart. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Alright, go ahead and finish the act. You have appeased this old man. Next, it is time to … to meet your subjects. "
He had originally wanted to say appease them, but he changed his words because subjects didn't need to be appeased. Their loyalty was a matter of course, and using the word appease might taint the loyalty of Ning Zheng, Zhang Chong, and the others.
Shen Lang said, "Okay, I will ask someone to bring Concubine Bian here. Eunuch Li, I will leave this to you."
He handed the spoon to Li Sun and then left the room, heading for the hall outside.
Li Sun continued to feed the jelly to Ning Yuanxian with the spoon.
"Old dog, have a bite. It's delicious," Ning Yuanxian said.
Li Sun said, "Your Majesty, this is made by His Majesty. I am a dog. I don't deserve to eat such delicious food."
Ning Yuanxian said, "Just eat it. Don't talk nonsense."
Li Sun took a small bite and put it in his mouth.
Ning Yuanxian looked at Li Sun expectantly and said, "Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious. It's delicious. I have never eaten such delicious food." Li Sun's eyes widened and he said exaggeratedly, "Your Majesty Shen Lang is indeed capable. Most importantly, you are filial. Otherwise, you can't make such delicious food. Your Majesty will enjoy a good life from now on."
Ning Yuanxian said in a trembling voice, "Let's go together, together …"
Li Sun held back his tears and said, "Okay, okay. This old dog will enjoy a good life with Your Majesty."
… …
Shen Lang stood at the back door of the palace. He took a deep breath and wiped away the tears at the corner of his eyes. After which, he once again returned to his menacing appearance and walked back into the palace.
"Clap, clap, clap, clap …"
Zhu Hongzhu and his son were still clapping their hands. Their hands were about to swell. There was nothing they could do. Shen Lang did not ask them to stop. If they stopped, they would probably hear that familiar phrase again: I'll kill your entire family.
All the civil and military officials stood there, trembling like quails. They even felt like they couldn't breathe.
At this moment, all of them had already reacted. The numbness from the shock they felt earlier had faded away and was replaced with endless fear. Shen Lang's methods were too terrifying. Previously, he was already very terrifying when he was just a favored subject. Now, there was no need to even mention how terrifying he was now.
Shen Lang didn't care about the others. He went directly to Ning Zheng and gently unlocked the shackles on him. But he didn't say a word.
The moment he saw Shen Lang, Ning Zheng was so ecstatic that he felt like he was about to explode. The endless excitement was like a volcano erupting.
This feeling was very familiar. It was just like the Sacrificial Ceremony a few years ago. He had injected some kind of medicine, and his entire body felt like it was about to soar into the sky. All the blood in his body was about to boil, and his scalp was numb. That kind of excitement almost made him roar out loud.
But now, an hour had passed. He gradually calmed down and became a volcano that didn't erupt. His heart was surging and his face was calm. But his face kept twitching and his hands kept trembling.
"Brother Wang, you have worked hard," said Shen Lang.
After Ning Zheng was unlocked, he knelt down in front of Shen Lang and kowtowed. "Your subject Ning Zheng pays respect to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
