The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

526-530

Crack!

The Retired Emperor threw the cup in his hand onto the ground angrily!

"Anyone! Come and bring down this lustful and malicious general who has caused harm to the nation, and behead him! I want to see if there is anyone else who would dare to do anything as they wish just because they have battle achievements!"

Thud!

Liao Qingtian's legs had completely turned into jelly!

The other imperial officials were drenched with sweat upon hearing the Retired Emperor's last sentence!

They had never thought that Private Advisor Long whom they had accused previously was actually the Third Prince!

What, what should they do now?

Those imperial officials who attended the court were all trembling in fear that they could not even carry up this cup in their hands.

Especially when they heard the loud roll setting sound outside the yamen, their hands shook and their cups just fell onto the wooden table!

Baili Jia Jue glanced through all of them...

All of the imperial officials sat still promptly while they grinned stiffly, rubbing their hands awkwardly before flattering, "Third Prince is indeed really good in revealing Liao Qingtian's true color with a word or two! If Your Highness did not turn up in time, we still thought that Liao Qingtian is a well-qualified general who would devote himself to the country and people. It seemed that we all had been hoodwinked by him! Liao Qingtian is in fact so vicious!"

"Indeed! We could only know a person's face but not his heart. Liao Qingtian that brute! He was acting so perfectly, luckily Your Highness is here!"

Just then, more imperial officials had turned their back against Liao Qingtian suddenly to disentangle themselves.

Helian Wei Wei gazed at these hypocrite imperial officials and curled her lips up as she said, "Dear officials, you guys are interesting! You've been protecting Liao Qingtian just now and saying that my private advisor and I are unforgiven corrupted officials! But suddenly you guys turned your back against Liao Qingtian and denounced him as an extremely guilty sinner who deserves death! I can see that your judging criteria are pretty simple. You judge based on a person's status and only listen to whoever with high status."

These words were a real slap in their faces. Most of the imperial officials' faces turned as red as the color of a pig liver, and eventually empurpled!

At this point in time, Elder Helian came to a faint realization.

It was also then that he had started to sit in fear and trembling.

If the purpose was merely to stand up against Liao Qingtian, the Third Prince could just reveal his identity on the spot when he was being caught.

Why would they insist to wait till this moment?

Was he waiting for the Retired Emperor or him to come over?

Elder Helian's fingers quivered, he could perceive an unprecedented fear.

He was very clear about the tricks and practice of the Third Prince; it would not be such simple.

If someone were to ask him what was the thing that he regretted the most right now, the answer would be his unsatisfied greediness to come to this provincial capital!

If he had known that the Third Prince was here, he would not have come even if he was given a mountain of gold or silver!

It was just a small case.
