C348 Hundreds Crisis
1Murong Yun came out of the General's Mansion and rushed towards the palace. However, at the entrance of the palace, he bumped into Luo Jianjian who was driving a carriage out from the palace.
"Jianjian? "Why are you …"
Luo Jianjian, who was supposed to be waiting for Murong Yun at Eighth Prince's Mansion, arrived here on a carriage in the palace. It was obvious that someone from the palace had summoned her to the palace.
"Did Royal Mother call you here?"
After Murong Yun made a guess, Luo Jianjian frowned and shook her head.
"It wasn't Royal Mother. It was the Emperor who summoned me to the palace."
"Royal Father summoned you?"
Murong Yun was stunned. The emperor had never called for Luo Jianjian alone before. Even if there were any family matters, they would still use Noble Consort's words to get Luo Jianjian to enter the palace.
But now, he actually called out to Luo Jianjian himself. At this critical juncture, he really couldn't think of any good things. It was all bad.
"Coincidentally, I want to look for Royal Father too. I'll go in with you."
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, they still had to come. Murong Yun brought Luo Jianjian to the Emperor's Imperial Study.
When the Emperor saw Murong Yun and Luo Jianjian enter the palace together, his expression turned slightly cold. It was obvious that he was displeased.
"What is it? Are you afraid that I will do something to the people you care about? Why are you following me like this? I called for Luo Jianjian, so I didn't call you here! "
The emperor's expression was calm. Murong Yun was afraid that the emperor would misunderstand Luo Jianjian, so he quickly explained.
"Royal Father misunderstood, I came over to see you from General's Mansion. Coincidentally, I bumped into Jianjian at the palace gate and came along the way. If Royal Father doesn't believe it, he can ask the people who follow him. "
It didn't matter if they came together or not. The Emperor coldly snorted, then picked up a stack of memorials from the table and unhappily threw it in front of Murong Yun and Luo Jianjian.
"It's good that you're here. I won't have to come and talk to you again!" These are all petitions written by the ministers of the imperial court.
Luo Jianjian and Murong Yun looked at each other for a moment. Then, they bent down and picked up the nearest memorial. The two of them had more than ten memorials in their hands.
The contents of these petitions were all similar. They were all an appeal to the common people of the capital. To denounce Association of 100, they must imprison the Association of 100 of Luo Jianjian's subordinates and punish them.
"Luo Jianjian, where did you hide your subordinates' Association of 100? We have sent our guards to capture them, but they have long since disappeared without a trace, so your movements are quite fast! "
When Luo Jianjian heard that the Emperor had already sent people to capture Association of 100, she looked at him with slight anger and clenched her hands tightly around the petitions.
"What right does the Emperor have to capture him?"
"Jianjian …"
Murong Yun could hear the resentment in Luo Jianjian's tone, but she was still talking to His Majesty. This tone was obviously disrespectful.
As expected, when the Emperor heard Luo Jianjian's tone of voice speaking to him, he glared angrily at her. He discovered that Luo Jianjian was still looking at him with an unafraid gaze, which further infuriated Long Li.
"Luo Jianjian, you are absolutely lawless! No wonder he could teach Lawless' Association of 100! If you dare to talk to us like this, it is hard to guarantee that one day, your Association of 100 will not harm the mountains and rivers of the Heaven Awakening! "
"Aren't you saying too much, your majesty?" Just my Association of 100 is enough to bring disaster upon Heaven's Initiation Rivers and Mountains. The Emperor is not confident in his own lands! "
"Luo Jianjian!"
The emperor angrily rebuked. He waved his hand, signalling for the guards outside to come in. Murong Yun hurriedly tried to protect Luo Jianjian as he tried to resolve the deadlock.
"Calm down, Royal Father!" Jianjian's words are unintentional, I hope that Royal Father will not argue with her. "
"Questioned?" "This girl just offended me with her words. If I don't teach her a lesson, she will turn the tables in the future!"
"Let her go this time, Royal Father, see..." Jianjian and Association of 100 have both contributed to protecting the Heaven's Initiation Rivers and Mountains, since we saw the rebellion last time. "
Murong Yun had brought up the matter of Mu Zhaoyang's rebellion last time, which left the emperor speechless. Last time, he really didn't have the time to praise Luo Jianjian.
"Humph!"
The Emperor grunted in dissatisfaction, flinging his sleeves in anger as he glared coldly at Luo Jianjian.
"Since the crown prince has spoken up for you, and the matter of the rebellion before, I will not bother with you about what happened just now." "But Luo Jianjian, with your personality, you still want to be Yun's secondary concubine?"
With a look of contempt, Luo Jianjian clenched her fists tightly and suppressed the anger in her heart. If this was the real world, she would have sent the emperor flying with a kick.
"If you want to marry Yun, you should first restrain your temper! Now that the citizens of the capital have a deep grudge against you, if you want to improve on this point, hand over your Association of 100! I won't kill them, but I must punish them! Let them regain their status as slaves, select their innermost strength, abolish their martial arts, and assign them to the manors to be slaves! "
Luo Jianjian let out a cold laugh at the emperor's words.
"May I ask your majesty, what did my Association of 100 do wrong? To be punished like this by the Emperor? They are human too! "They are no different from the noble aristocrats of the Heaven's Enlightenment. They are all people with flesh and blood, feelings, and emotions!"
"Jianjian, stop it."
Murong Yun held Luo Jianjian's hand and tried to persuade her in a low voice. It wasn't that he didn't dare to argue with the emperor, but arguing with him now was meaningless. It would only make things worse.
However, when Luo Jianjian heard the Emperor's heartless words, how could she control her temper? She shook Murong Yun's hand off and glared at the emperor as she continued to speak.
"No one is born a slave! The fact that there is such a thing as a slave selling in Tianqi Kingdom is against the logic of heaven, and dishonoring humanity! "
"Luo Jianjian!" If you say such outrageous words again, I won't be soft-hearted to you! "You are so stubborn that you are not fit to be Yun's side wife!"
Who cares! If it wasn't the only one, I wouldn't be a side concubine! If the Emperor retracts the bestowed marriage, I wouldn't be able to thank you enough! "
"You! Someone! Take Luo Jianjian away, and torture her and ask her where her Association of 100 is! "
The Emperor was infuriated. He called the guards over to escort Luo Jianjian away. Naturally, Murong Yun didn't want to give up. He protected Luo Jianjian and didn't want to give up.
When the emperor saw this, he became even more furious.
"Crown Prince!" Are you going to defy imperial orders as well? "
"Royal Father, I don't want to disobey the emperor's orders, but I definitely won't let anyone touch Jianjian. If you insist, your son will not resist, but will protect Jianjian to the death! "
"You all … "You guys …"
The emperor saw the rage erupt and was about to say something he could not take back. At this moment, outside the Imperial Study, Noble Consort suddenly rushed over in a hurry.
"Noble Consort has arrived!"
The eunuch outside the door replied. It could be considered that he had temporarily eased the stiff and cold atmosphere within the Imperial Study.
Noble Consort came in and looked at the scene of the deadlock. She waved her hand to signal the guards to stand down. The guards looked awkwardly at the emperor, who nodded in displeasure, indicating that they should obey Noble Consort's orders.
