As soon as Jinghua left, the Song family sent someone to Fengqi Palace to remind Jiang Yunxu. The maid wondered: "The eldest princess is already in a high position, why did she frame the queen?"
Mrs. Song only said: "There are many greedy people in this world."
Mrs. Song soon received a reply, and Jiang Yunxu reassured her that she knew what she was doing.
Two days later, Chu Xuanzhi insisted on holding a ceremony to worship the heaven, despite the obstruction of civil and military officials. Hundreds of monks held wooden fish in their hands, sat on futons, and beat in the direction of the capital, while countless prayer flags were hoisted.
It has complex Buddhist sayings painted on it.
Civil and military officials stood on both sides.
Chu Xuanzhi, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and holding three sticks of incense, walked in the center, followed by countless people.
Suddenly, someone shouted: "Is Your Majesty trying to protect the demon girl? It was the demon girl who used some unknown method to blow up the capital, and the demon girl should pay for it with her life!"
"Yes, it is unreasonable for the demon girl to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in order to avenge the Jiang family!"
"It's unfair. How can the Emperor protect the Demon Queen if he loves his people like his own son?"
One after another of attacks came, deafening.
Jiang Yunxu, who was on a high platform not far away, was watching this scene. She squinted her eyes, but her heart was completely calm. It seemed that her status in the hearts of the people was hopeless.
"Master, it's windy here, let's go back." Hong Qiao wanted to reach out to pull her, but her face was full of anxiety. In her heart, the Queen is the best in the world.
If it weren't for the Queen, how could Linyi be in the current situation?
These people are so ignorant.
Jiang Yunxu forced a smile at her: "It doesn't matter, these people's rumors won't hurt me at all."
Her eyes continued to fall on Chu Xuanzhi, watching him walk towards the high platform step by step, with a determined look on his face.
There was Jinghua shouting anxiously below: "Your Majesty, you can't do this."
Chu Xuanzhi paid no attention to anyone. He raised three sticks of incense and looked around the crowd. His expression turned solid, causing everyone present to fall silent.
"I am the Emperor Lingyi, and the killing of all the people in the capital was an order given by me personally, and it has nothing to do with the queen!" Chu Xuanzhi said in a deep voice: "If I were to do it again, I would give the same order."
As he spoke, Chu Xuanzhi raised his hand and asked the guards to bring in several large objects covered with black cloth. When the black cloth was lifted, the person inside was immediately revealed. He had fangs, long and sharp nails, and scarlet eyes.
Looking outside the cage, he suddenly roared, scaring everyone present to step back.
"What kind of monster is this?"
"Is this a human being?"
"Is it going to be like this?"
Chu Xuanzhi squinted at a few people in the crowd of officials: "Mr. Liu, Mr. Wang, why don't you tell me, what on earth is this?"
The two people whose names were called came out tremblingly: "Back to the emperor, these are the surviving people in the capital. They have been poisoned and can bite. Once bitten, they will become unconscious. It won't take long for them to die."
They are the same."
Immediately afterwards, Chu Xuanzhi asked someone to stab the man in the cage several times, which immediately caused several screams.
"This is too cruel, to kill him like this."
But the next second, the person in the cage not only didn't bleed, nor did he fall down, but he was still lying in the cage and shouting with claws and teeth.
"These people cannot be killed. Once they are released from the capital and mix among you, this is what you will end up with." Chu Xuanzhi pointed to the cage and said.
The people looked at each other, their emotions obviously no longer as high as before. Some people whispered: "It turns out this is a last resort."
"It's no last resort. It's just a little trick. How could the people in the capital suddenly get this disease? They were fine for hundreds of years." Some people were disdainful.
There are different opinions.
Jiang Yunxu's eyes fell on Jinghua. Similarly, Jinghua also noticed hers. He raised his head and looked at a woman wearing a veil on the high platform. Her eyebrows frowned subconsciously. She stepped forward and said to Chu Xuanzhi.
: "Your Majesty, the people will understand your good intentions sooner or later. I am worried that the Queen will not be able to bear it when so many people criticize you and do not understand."
She pointed to the high platform.
Chu Xuanzhi looked along the line of sight.
Jiang Yunxu frowned and secretly screamed that something was wrong. The next second, countless people followed his gaze and looked over, and they became even more excited.
"The Demon Queen, the Demon Queen!"
Countless people were excited and raised their fists and shouted.
Jiang Yunxu took a few steps back and Hongqiao stood in front of her, but the people outside rushed towards her like crazy.
Someone was still encouraging: "Today the Demon Queen dares to use the people of the capital for entertainment, and tomorrow she will dare to use the people of Linyi for entertainment. If she doesn't like it, she will kill anyone who wants to kill her. Her thoughts are too vicious. Such Demon Queen must be punished."
Seeing this, Chu Xuanzhi frowned and immediately sent people to stop him. The guards stepped forward to stop the people. However, the angry people could not listen to this and began to fight. For a while, the streets were full of people and became a mess.
.
Suddenly, someone threw a fireball at me, and the high platform ignited a fire at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Chu Xuanzhi jumped up without caring about his own safety, and jumped onto the high platform. Looking at Jiang Yunxu who was being protected by Hong Qiao, he felt heartache in his eyes.
"If you rush over like this, the people will resent you even more." Jiang Yunxu said anxiously: "You always cherish your feathers. What happened today? This little thing can't stop me."
