A bolt of lightning came from the sky like a whip, followed by a muffled clap of thunder, awakening countless ignorant souls in the chaos. When Ning Shu's voice fell, the entire Meridian Gate was stupefied and silent.
Behind the Meridian Gate, Empress Cao almost crushed the seven jade thumb ring in her hand. That graceful and noble face under the cold light of the lightning changed several colors in an instant.
"Someone come." She waved her hand and said a few words to her confidant. She coldly looked at the thick red door, as if she was looking through the door at Ning Shu.
The veins on Cao Zhengwei's forehead twitched as he raised his head and laughed out loud. "Hahahahaha! Hilarious! Hilarious! I really don't know where you got your imagination from! How could you come up with such an ingenious story to pin me on the pillar of shame? You said this old man made the fake silver, this old man was the mastermind behind this shocking injustice, this old man persecuted the loyal … Girl, open your eyes wide and look! "
Under the shocked gazes of the officials, Cao Zhengwei threw away the crutch in his hand and took off his official robe, revealing a black and skinny upper body covered in scars.
"I, Cao Zhengwei, have been in the military for my entire life. For the Great Yue Imperial Court and for the people of the world, I have suffered so much and suffered so many injuries! How many scars do you think a little girl like you can count on this dying old body? Let me tell you, there are a total of seventeen scars! Fourteen of them are blade wounds and the remaining three are arrow wounds. Each of them almost took my life!
These scars were from when the previous emperor was still alive. The Southern Yan dogs invaded. This old man was ordered by the previous emperor to wipe out the enemy with Old Prince Yu. Unfortunately, we fell into an ambush. This old man was stabbed six times and was covered in blood!
This one was from the third year of the Heaven's Choice. The remnants of the Demon Empress Zhou did not give up and tried to assassinate the emperor. It was this old man who blocked the fatal arrow for the emperor!
The most serious one is the one on my chest. Twenty-four years ago, the emperor had just ascended the throne for less than a year. The situation in the imperial court was not stable. The War Hounds and the Southern Yan were eyeing us covetously. It could be said that there were internal and external troubles. In order to disturb the political situation, the War Hounds repeatedly infiltrated the court to assassinate the officials. Many old officials were scared and returned home, but this old man did not believe in evil! I was ambushed by an assassin on the way to the imperial court. The arrow passed right through this old man's chest and pierced right through it! At that time, this old man only had a single breath left, but this old man knew that if even this old man wanted to retreat in order to survive, then what would the civil and military officials of the imperial court think of me? Thus, I relied on this last breath to force myself to the palace. Only after His Majesty sent an imperial physician to treat me was I able to preserve my old life!
Cao Zhengwei, the emperor's uncle Cao Zhengwei. But ask yourselves, this old man, this old man, this old man is not?! Today, you little little children have their white teeth 'of their white teeth's and white of their teeth..... .... . of you people's Of. by of of you, I of you, of you, of you of you.
When the scars on his body were revealed, Cao Huayu's sinister eyes finally revealed a taunting smile. It was as if he was mocking Ning Shu for daring to compete with a big tree, overestimating herself.
Ning Shu's expression changed. She immediately turned around to look at She Yan. Receiving the signal, She Yan nodded and handed the umbrella to Zi Gui before quickly disappearing into the crowd.
The three of them clenched their fists in nervousness. Their hearts were beating like drums. No one knew what to do. The weather was hot and humid. It was like everyone had been placed in a giant steamer. Ning Shu's forehead was covered in sweat. She knew that standing in front of her was an unprecedented enemy. His strength surpassed everyone she had met before. But because of this, she could not retreat.
She silently straightened her back, which was not heavy at all. She was like the only stalk of orchid in this vast land, slender and unbending. Because in this silent tug-of-war, the one who first showed fear was destined to lose.
Facing Ning Shu's silence, Cao Zhengwei raised the corner of his mouth and pressed, "Where is the evidence?"
Ning Shu's shoulders tensed.
Zi Gui anxiously shook Ning Shu's sleeve. Ning Shu silently lowered her long eyelashes.
Cao Zhengwei took a step forward and raised his voice to ask, "This old man is asking you, where is the evidence!" He smiled coldly and said, "You can't take it out? Then today, you and these traitors are framing this old man, framing my Cao Family. What do you want? Do you want to take advantage of His Majesty's illness to cause chaos in the court and bring disaster to all of Great Yue?! "
