Empress Dowager Yuan's face was hot, her face turned red and blue, and she felt that she had lost the character of the aristocratic family.

She just wanted to dig a hole in the ground and crawl in, and wanted to leave immediately, but He Lie stopped moving and stood in his original position like a green pine.

"..." Empress Dowager Yuan's face became even more ugly, and she stood there stiffly, either walking or sitting or being in a dilemma.

"Pu"

The door of the small house that had been closed for a long time was finally opened from the inside.

Qin He walked out of the inside, and the face that was inconspicuous in the crowd was smiling. His smile was both pleasant and cold, with two red moles on one cheek on one side bright and eye-catching.

No, this is blood.

Several girls quickly realized this, their faces pale, and they quickly looked away.

Qin He walked towards Chu Yi with a clear goal. Everyone quickly avoided him wherever he passed, but they were more afraid of avoiding him. Many people deliberately turned their eyes away, but they couldn't help but secretly aim at him from the corner of their eyes.

Someone accidentally looked at Qin He and was so scared that he took a breath of air. Qin He's slender eyes were as deep as abyss and as cold as ice.

If Qin He was still a person before entering the small house, now he is like an evil ghost from the eighteenth level of hell.

Humans and evil ghosts are not creatures in the same world.

With shocking and shocking eyes, Qin He walked slowly to Chu Yi, bowed with a righteous manner and said, "Your Highness, the trial is over."

Even if his sharp voice was deliberately soft, it was still filled with an uncomfortable gloom.

Qin He bowed, and many people noticed that his fingers were also stained with blood.

His face is ordinary, but his hands are very beautiful, and his roots are as slender as jade, like a masterpiece under a carving knife by a master carving. The bright red blood on his fingers is so dazzling.

"It's already been called." A malicious smile appeared on Qin He's face, which made the blood stains on his cheeks look even more weird. "It's Li Han, Eunuch Li."

Everyone's eyes turned to the old eunuch beside Empress Dowager Yuan with gray hair and whisk in his hands, and the eunuch Li Han, the eunuch who was in charge of the seal.

Li Han looked pale, deep wrinkles squeezed out from his forehead and corners of his eyes, and the whisk in his hand trembled violently several times.

Qin He then said, "Your Highness, it was Li Han who specially picked this pleasure boat, and asked the inner magistrate to arrange carefully selected screens and seats beside the disrepaired guardrail."

Following his narration, everyone looked at the screen placed beside the guardrail, and saw nine lifelike golden dragons embroidered on the five screens, shining in the sun.

Anyone can tell at a glance that the seat next to the screen is an imperial seat. Except for the emperor, no one dares to sit down.

Immediately afterwards, Qin He's cold eyes turned to the broken guardrail, his eyes cold and vicious, like a poisonous snake with fangs exposed on his mouth, hissing.

"This pleasure boat was tributed by Yuan's family." Qin He said slowly, his sharp voice seemed to be poisoned.

This pleasure boat was a birthday gift presented by the Yuan family in Yangzhou during the Wanbao Festival last year.

Chu Yi turned around slightly, and his clothes flew up as if they were changing clouds. He also looked at the broken guardrail and sighed: "Since that's the case, then take Yuan Zhe down."

His tone was slow, neither light nor heavy, but full of urgency.

Everyone else was shocked when they heard this.

That's Yuan Zhe.

Although he was a commoner and had no official position, he was the next head of the Yuan family and the mainstay in the court in the future.

The Empress Dowager is a member of the Yuan family.

King Kang has the blood of the Yuan family.

With the strong support of the late emperor over the past twenty years, the Yuan family has risen step by step, and now it has become the leader of all families.

If Yuan Zhe was taken down and punished, it would be like the emperor provoking the Yuan family and even other aristocratic families in public, which would inevitably cause an uproar.

Chu You could barely maintain his calmness, and Empress Dowager Yuan was already on the verge of collapse, her steps slightly staggered, and her pupils contracted continuously.

The atmosphere solidified in an instant.

This gorgeous pleasure boat suddenly seemed to have turned into a glacier that stretched thousands of miles, extremely cold.

With a command from Chu Yi, the surrounding Jinyiwei pulled out the embroidered spring swords one by one. The blade's edge flashed with cold light, and they all came out like tigers aiming at their prey.

A salty and fishy smell faintly floated in the air, lingering around the tips of everyone's noses and could not be removed.

"Stop..." Empress Dowager Yuan's eyes were panicked, and she was so beautiful that she wanted to scold her and said stop.

"Play!"

Two loud and heavy cunches sounded, interrupting Empress Dowager Yuan's words and attracting all the gazes around him.

The person who applauded was Fengyang.

As soon as Empress Dowager Yuan looked at Fengyang, she felt her throat tight and painful, and she couldn't say anything afterwards. Her high spirits on weekdays were almost defeated.

Empress Dowager Yuan seemed to be frozen and could not move at all.

"This play is good." Feng Yang said casually with a faint expression.

These four simple words are meaningful and call back everyone's souls and the atmosphere changes again.

Feng Yang's fierce eyes shot at Yuan Zhe, and his voice said sharply: "It is also bold that the Yuan family dares to pay tribute with such defective products."

Yuan Zhe reluctantly looked at Feng Yang, and used all his strength to not be completely crushed by the other party's aura. His heart suddenly sank to the bottom of the valley.

He is a smart person and naturally realizes the crisis.

The eldest prince Chu Yi did not want to kill King Kang and the Empress Dowager. From the beginning, his goal was himself.

It's the Yuan family.

Their Yuan family is the biggest backer behind King Kang. They have long been the thorn in the eyes of the eldest prince and the flesh is thorn in the flesh. The eldest prince has long wanted to overthrow the Yuan family, and today they are just taking the opportunity to attack.

Yuan Zhe quickly measured the pros and cons in a very short time and had a decision in his mind.

He is a member of the Yuan family, so he naturally has to put the interests of the family first.

Yuan Zhe could bend and stretch, so he immediately stood up from the ring chair, lifted his robe with his right hand, and knelt down firmly.

This kneeling showed a kind of noble spirit and a kind of a family character.

"Emperor, the Yuan family was not careful and even offered such inferior products. It was because the Yuan family was in prison. As the mother's family of the Yuan family, the Yuan family attracted great talents and slandered them. They should be more cautious in their actions."

Yuan Zhe admitted his mistake for the Yuan family without saying a word, and looked up at the emperor and Chu Yi in front of him.

There is a clear meaning inside and outside, and I am afraid that someone is framing the Yuan family.

The sword aims at the emperor.

Even though he knelt on the deck, Yuan Zhe's backbone was still straight, revealing a kind of neither humble nor arrogant.

This kneeling gave the aristocratic families present a backbone.

Yuan Zhe admitted his mistakes so quickly that even Wang Kang and Chuyou couldn't react.
