Chapter 474: Li Wuyou's Debate in the Court
Chapter 474: Li Wuyou's Debate in the Court
"The entire imperial capital knows about this, how could I not know about it?"
Minister Liu raised his hands slightly, raised his chin slightly, with a self-righteous confidence on his face, as if to say that what he knew was natural and without any mistakes.
She thought to herself that this matter had been widely spread, and no one could find fault with her answer, so she thought her answer was flawless.
However, Baili Wuyou sneered and shook his head, with a hint of sarcasm and disdain in his smile.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her sharp gaze shot straight at Minister Liu like a sword, as if she wanted to see clearly his inner calculations.
"I remember that half a year ago, when the eldest sister recommended you for the position of Minister of Personnel, she wrote in the memorial that you were objective and fair in your official duties and were not afraid of power."
Baili Wuyou's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but every word echoed clearly in the hall.
She slowly raised her foot and walked towards Minister Liu with steady steps.
Every step seemed to be stepping on Minister Liu's heart.
"You're impeaching me based on hearsay?"
Baili Wuyou suddenly stopped and fixed his gaze on Minister Liu, his eyes full of questioning.
"I have reason to suspect that you are forming a clique within the court to engage in personal gain and deliberately smear me!"
She emphasized the words "forming a clique for personal gain" and "deliberately smearing" in a voice as loud as a bell, making the air in the hall seem to freeze.
At this moment, the ministers in the hall couldn't help but hold their breath, their eyes moving back and forth between Baili Wuyou and Minister Liu.
Some ministers frowned slightly, as if thinking about Baili Wuyou's words; some ministers secretly glanced at Minister Liu, wanting to see her reaction.
In fact, they wanted to stare at Baili Wuyou and ponder him. After all, in the past, if something could be solved by beating someone violently, they would never waste their breath!
Today, Baili Wuyou actually argued with others in this way, which was somewhat confusing.
Minister Liu's face turned pale instantly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his legs began to tremble unconsciously. He secretly groaned in his heart, regretting that he should not have been so rash as to impeach the prince based on hearsay alone.
But under the pressure of the other two gazes in the hall, she could only bite the bullet and say:
"It's not hearsay, but I happened to be passing by yesterday..."
"You knew I was inside just by passing by? I'm in a place where you can't even see me from outside!"
Baili Wuyou forcibly interrupted Minister Liu.
She could only continue with what she said:
"I happened to be passing by, so I went in for a look. Who would have thought I'd run into Her Highness the Princess forcing Young Master Ye to sing, and even forcibly redeeming him back to her mansion!"
"Ok!"
Baili Wuyou nodded seriously, then turned to press Minister Liu:
"Are you really here?"
Minister Liu: "It's true!"
Baili Wuyou: "Then why don't you say that it was the Third Princess who was competing with me fairly for Master Ye, but couldn't resist my charm that everyone loves and flowers bloom wherever I go, so she finally abandoned the Third Princess and chose me?"
Minister Liu stuttered, his face covered in cold sweat.
"This... I have never seen the Third Princess!"
"Minister Liu, the crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by the death penalty!"
Baili Wuyou's eyes darkened slightly. Suddenly, she moved her lips and could easily deal with these guys, and also make her sisters even more disgusted!
It can even make the biased queen mother feel even more aggrieved!
Minister Liu was frightened out of his wits by the words "lose your head".
Because the executioner's knife of the Seven Kingdoms is not an ordinary knife.
Once beheaded by that knife, immortals below the rank of high immortals will have no way of preserving their souls and being reborn, and can only escape into the underworld and reincarnate.
Then all the years of practice before would be wasted.
Isn't it said that the Crown Princess Baili Wuyou is uneducated and unskillful, and if anyone makes her angry, she will beat them up regardless of the occasion?
Why is it so difficult to deal with her when she comes to slander him?
Baili Wuyou would not give Minister Liu a chance to ease up, and she brought out her fifth life of teaching and educating people, and her eloquence in politics:
"What? Sir Liu is speechless? Or is he too afraid to speak?
How about I ask the questions and you answer them?"
Without waiting for Minister Liu's consent, Baili Wuyou spoke in a very oppressive manner, asking and answering questions one by one, and finally revealing all the facts of that day.
Finally, she complained to the Queen with a slightly aggrieved look:
"Mother Queen, you have heard it too. I am not forcing Master Ye into the palace, but I am trying to rescue him from that dangerous den!
Although all the men in the Ye family were enslaved, no one stipulated that slaves must be sold?
He came to my residence to serve me as a servant. Does that mean he is not a slave?
Moreover, the Ye family has already been convicted. If their men are forced into a desperate situation, it will only make people criticize the Queen Mother, saying that you are showing leniency to the Ye family on the surface, but secretly want to kill them all!"
"How dare you! Who dares to make such a accusation against me?"
The Queen's voice resounded like thunder in the magnificent Golden Palace, shaking all the ministers in the palace.
She sat upright on the jewel-studded phoenix chair, her eyes wide open, and the chill in her eyes made the air around her seem to drop several degrees.
The empress was filled with annoyance and headaches at the moment. She really couldn't understand why the eldest princess Baili Wuyou, whom she had always disliked and was impulsive and reckless, suddenly became so difficult to deal with?
Baili Wuyou usually acts carelessly and often speaks without thinking. The Queen wants to make her useless, so she doesn't teach her at all.
But today, she seemed like a different person. She spoke sharply and pressed the issue step by step in the court, leaving the ministers who impeached her speechless.
At this time, Baili Wuyou stood in the center of the hall, his hands on his hips, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
The Queen was worried that if this continued, not only would the dignity of the court be damaged, but the Third Prince Baili Wuliu would also be dragged into trouble.
Baili Wuliu has always been a thoughtful and talented prince, and is deeply loved by the empress.
She didn't want Baili Wuliu to be implicated because of this farce.
So, the Queen gritted her teeth, slammed the armrest, and announced loudly:
"Let's put this matter behind us! Dismiss the court!"
The voice was firm and unquestionable.
This is not the first time that Baili Wuyou has been protected like this, and Baili Wuyou has long been accustomed to it.
Before leaving the Golden Palace, Baili Wuyou deliberately slowed down his pace, then raised his eyebrows provocatively at Baili Wuyou in an extremely provocative manner.
Her eyes were full of provocation and pride, as if to say: "Well, I won again!"
Baili Wuliu originally kept a fake smile on his face, trying to maintain his demeanor in the court.
But when she saw Baili Wuyou's provocative look and actions, her smile froze instantly.
Baili Wuyou felt even better when he saw Baili Wuyou's deflated look.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile, and then she walked out of the Golden Palace with brisk steps and swagger.
The sunlight shone on her, stretching her figure out long, as if she was the master of this world.
Her mentality seemed to have changed inexplicably, but it also seemed not to have changed?
