All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human
Chapter 374: The Abused Heroine Awakens (50)
Among the letters that floated down, some were written as grievances in the name of Lin Xinghuai’s childhood betrothal, accusing the current Prince Ling and hoping the Emperor would bring justice to General Lin.
Standing among the crowd, Ashui looked at the grievances of the masses in front of him and felt a sense of relief.
If it weren’t for the Princess Consort’s guidance, things not only wouldn’t have gone so smoothly, but could have gone astray with many obstacles encountered.
It’s very likely that in the end, there would have been no way to redress the injustice for the Lin Family.
Many days ago, Ashui contacted the old subordinates of General Lin, and with their help, today’s grand spectacle was possible.
The Emperor of Great Zhou could never escape the shame of this matter in his lifetime, which gave the Lin Family a fierce vindication.
The Emperor, who originally thought everything had been resolved, was completely stunned when he received the news from outside the palace gates. His complexion changed between pale and blue, making it difficult to tell whether he was scared or enraged.
"Treason!"
After a long while, the Emperor shouted, stood up, and swept everything off the Dragon Desk onto the floor with a loud crash.
"This group of people is rebelling!"
The Emperor continuously threw things around in the Imperial Study Room, and all the palace attendants inside, including the Grand Steward, immediately knelt down flat on the ground. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably as they quietly listened to the Emperor’s voice roaring like an Evil Dragon.
Even if memorials and teacups were smashed onto them with excruciating pain, no one dared make a sound. Anyone who did so at this time would face death; enduring some external injuries was far better than losing their life. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
The Emperor raged for almost half an hour and finally stopped. The Imperial Study Room was completely trashed. He sat down on the Dragon Throne, his face a livid color, still clutching the grievance letter written in Lin Xinghuai’s childhood betrothal name, and tore it apart in anger.
"Clean this up."
The Grand Steward hastily responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."
At this moment, another palace attendant came rushing in to report, "Your Majesty, all the ministers are waiting outside the palace gate to see you. They are surrounded by many citizens, who are loudly demanding justice for Lin..."
"I know."
The Emperor was extremely furious, but at this moment, he had no solution. He underestimated that Lin Xinghuai’s childhood betrothal. He never expected her to be such a cunning person, much more so than his foolish Crown Prince, who didn’t even realize she was using him.
If he had met this woman, he would certainly have steadied her immediately and kept her in the Eastern Palace, preventing such an irreparable mistake from happening.
The Crown Prince is still lacking; with such stupidity leaving loopholes everywhere, how could he take on such a great responsibility? It seems it’s time to look for a new successor.
The Emperor’s eyes narrowed slightly; he had many sons, several of whom were outstanding. The Crown Prince might not be the best.
He didn’t think about immediately deposing the Crown Prince, just needed to casually reveal some dissatisfaction, and his other sons would develop thoughts of seizing the throne.
Snapping back to reality, the Emperor remembered the very troublesome matter that needed handling: "Let all the ministers enter the palace."
The matter has been exposed, and it still needs to be resolved.
Thinking of this matter gave the Emperor a headache: "Call the Crown Prince over."
Jing Yunzhou, walking to the Imperial Study Room, felt a chill throughout his body, as if each step was on a Sword Mountain and a sea of fire. His handsome face turned slightly pale, and his lips and teeth trembled, indicating he was truly frightened by the sudden exposure of this matter.
He had also seen that grievance letter and never expected that woman would act this way, without first coming to him, leaving him no chance to stop this from happening.
