The emperor looked down at the people below from the high city tower, and at first glance he looked intuitively at the direction where the Dengwen Drum was. At this time, he saw Gu Yanfei standing next to the Dengwen Drum.

Chu Yi stood beside the emperor, and the frosty white cloak was blown up by the wind, making a sound.

He was also watching Gu Yanfei.

Gu Yanfei didn't expect Chu Yi to come back at this time, and he raised his head and smiled slightly at him. In an instant, it was like a flower bud on a branch smiling and spitting out the stamens in an instant, with a bright look.

The emperor slowly looked around everyone below and said, "Get up."

His voice was filled with a trace of fatigue in the cold winter wind.

The eunuch Zhao Rang repeated the emperor's words at the top of his voice, and his sharp voice resounded throughout the silent square.

The people were a little surprised that the emperor was so approachable and stood up one after another.

The emperor's second sentence was: "Who beat the Dengwen Drum?"

Zhao Rang repeated this sentence again.

Zhang Shusheng straightened his clothes, walked towards the center a little stiffly, and came to the front of Chengtian Gate.

The girl timidly pinched a corner of her father's robe and followed him like a shadow.

Shusheng Zhang barely maintained his composure, bowed to the emperor on the city tower, and replied loudly: "Go back to the emperor, it's a sage."

The square directly in front of Chengtian Gate was empty, with two rows of imperial guards guarding both sides of the imperial guards in bronze helmets and iron armor. The imperial guards did not clear the ground, but just blocked the other people on both sides.

The onlookers stood far away, but they could not see the emperor's appearance clearly. They only felt that the emperor had a clear appearance and noble temperament. When they did not laugh, they would have an invisible intimidating power of the emperor.

The people couldn't help but feel anxious and watched the changes.

The emperor on the city tower then asked: "Who stopped people from beating the drum?"

The two yamen servants led by the head of the troupe did not dare to agree to the battle, but they did not say that, and General Li said to them: "Go back to the emperor, he is the yamen servant of Jingzhao Mansion."

Mr. Li's heart was slightly sank, knowing that he would not be able to escape the charge of inaction when he was sitting on the yamen today. He even hated Jingzhao Yin in his heart.

The cold wind blew the emperor's beard on his chin.

The emperor picked up his beard and said coldly: "The Prime Minister of Xuan Jingzhao."

When the yamen servants heard this, their feet weakened and they instantly knelt down again, and they slapped their heads to the ground in panic, not daring to move.

The emperor asked Zhang Shusheng again: "Who is the one who complains about the injustice? Why do you beat the drum?"

Shusheng Zhang is still feeling ups and downs, panic and nervous.

Now that the arrow is on the string, I have to fire it.

He gritted his teeth and didn't care about fear. He then said, "Zhang Min, a grass resident, sued His Highness the Great Princess, ordered people to abduct innocent children to take blood from their hearts and refine pills to cure diseases..."

The more Zhang Min said, the more sad and angry he became, the more excited he became, with red eyes and violently undulating his chest.

Zhang Min only said that he sued the eldest princess, but did not mention the emperor for a long time. In fact, he and others present suspected that the emperor was mostly aware of the situation and even indulged his beloved daughter, but he did not dare to argue with the emperor.

"..." The emperor on the city tower closed his eyes, and his heart was filled with extremely complex and intense emotions.

Even though the emperor had heard Gu Yuan report the story before, he was now in the scene and heard the person involved say it again, and felt his heart was cold.

If there is really a way to save a daughter, the emperor can pay all the price, but it will never exchange the lives of others for their daughter's life.

Now, his daughter is in danger and can only survive for two days, but some people are making trouble outside in the name of their daughter.

Just thinking about it, the emperor felt a pain in his heart, his hands and feet were so angry that he was cold, and his thin body was shaking slightly.

Chu Yi walked down from the city tower slowly, and asked Zhang Min as he walked:

"What certificate do you have?"

Chu Yi's clear and clear voice blew across the entire square like the gentle spring breeze in March.

Although Zhang Min didn't know who the young man in white was, he was obviously a noble person when he saw that the other party could speak on behalf of the emperor.

He calmed down and replied in a regular manner: "The little girl is a witness. The little girl escaped from the palace by chance, saying that she wanted to save the eldest princess to get their blood and let the Shangqing Zhenren refine the heart pill..."

There was a silence around again.

"Shangqing?" Chu Yi read it gently, without any emotion in his steady tone.

But to Zhang Min's hearing, the other party was questioning the matter.

"It's really a halal person in Shangqing." Zhang Min said quickly, "The little girl will never lie."

The girl snuggled up to her father and nodded in a cramped manner.

A young man's loud shout suddenly came from among the onlookers: "When the Shangqing Zhenren entered the palace yesterday, you will know if he checked it!"

As soon as these words were said, the other people also felt it was reasonable and nodded. Someone even said, "I have been to Wuliang Temple early in the morning. The Taoist priest in the temple said that the Lord Shangqing was entered into the palace yesterday and did not return all night."

There were instant commotion in the crowd, like layers of ripples on the lake.

Chu Yi continued to walk forward and said slowly, "The eldest princess is indeed sick."

"As Shangqing said, one hundred virgin boys and virgin girls should be used to obtain their blood in their hearts and refine the heart pill to prolong the life of the eldest princess, otherwise the eldest princess would not live for three days."

Every word of his words spread clearly dozens of feet around him and into the ears of everyone present.

These words were beyond everyone's expectations.

They thought the royal family would flatly deny the matter, but they did not expect that the young master would bluntly admit that there was indeed a "heart pill".

Everyone felt relieved, but their hearts sank.

The emperor personally visited Chengtian Gate just to temporarily calm the public anger.

The eldest princess did such a bad thing. Will the royal family push the blame to the slave, saying that it was the slave who took his own decision?!

Kill a few people and then leave it alone?

The people were in an instant and forgot to awe of the royal family, which became more and more noisy.

The eldest prince’s children’s life, what should they do?!

Several people who lost their children were about to collapse, and they were both angry, sad, and even weak. They didn’t know what else could these humble people do in the face of the emperor’s power?!

"The civilian woman is willing to take blood happily on behalf of the child." The middle-aged woman who came with Zhang Min suddenly seemed to be a wild beast rushing to Zhang Min and his daughter, kneeling directly on the ground, and kowtowed to the emperor on the city tower at the top of his lungs, "Prince, please! The civilian woman is willing to live for one life."

Her true expression and voice were extremely contagious.

Soon, the families of other children kowtowed to the emperor, saying that they were willing to give their blood on their behalf.

This scene touched the other people watching, and their eyes were sore and slightly choked.

The people around him started to clamor again, and wave after wave.

"What Shangqing said is against the common sense, and the eldest princess doesn't want to." Chu Yi's calm voice sounded again, "The emperor doesn't want to."

His graceful voice seemed to have a unique penetration, passing through people's eardrums and gently hitting everyone's hearts;

It was like a clear mountain stream and clear springs gushing away the irritation in everyone's hearts.

Chu Yi continued slowly, "The Buddha said: In this life, the homework will be rewarded for the next life. The emperor's heart of loving his daughter will not make the eldest princess more sinful and will cause disaster to the next life."

Chu Yi's words were concise and straightforward, without pretentiousness.

But most of the people present were not convinced by Chu Yi, and they only felt that these words were just high-sounding and good-sounding words, but in fact there was no empirical support.

There are many people in this world who make great mistakes in order to survive!

What's more, it's always true that so many children in the capital have disappeared?

Who was the kidnapping of those children? If it weren't for the royal family, who could have kidnapped so many children silently overnight?!

The people were full of doubts.

But even if some people don’t believe it, they think it’s an excuse from the royal family, and they dare not speak nonsense. After all, there is no need to worry about being punished. It’s as simple as killing an ant if those nobles want to kill one of them.

Everyone was talking, even though they were not loud, they were intertwined and it was inevitable that the restlessness in the square had not subsided for a long time.

Chu Yi's gaze passed through the noisy and impetuous crowd and looked at a graceful figure in snow-green color.

"Besides," Chu Yi said in a steady tone, "The eldest princess's illness does not require heart pill."

What does it mean?! This sentence surprised the impetuous people again and looked up at him in shock.

All the clamoring sounds around them disappeared in an instant, and there was silence, leaving only the sound of the cold wind waving the flags.

In the crowd, I don’t know who asked at the top of my voice: “Who said that?”

"Shangqing Zhen’s human Taoism is profound and can make the dead flesh and bones alive. Everyone in the capital knows this!"

"The Shangqing Halals said so, is there any exception?!"

The rough voice spoke with striking words, which made the people nearby feel resentful.

“I said it.”

The answer was not Chu Yi, but another crisp and loud female voice.

"The eldest princess doesn't need a heart pill."

Gu Yanfei said as he walked out of the crowd and walked to Zhang Min and his daughter.

There was a confident smile on the corner of her lips, with a bit of pride and ostentatiousness, but because of her outstanding appearance and free temperament, she did not feel disgusted.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Gu Yanfei.

"Isn't this the girl just now?" Someone in the crowd pointed at Gu Yanfei and said, "Even that demonic wind can't blow her down."

"Yes, yes." Someone immediately echoed excitedly, with a loud voice, "The wind scatters when it meets her. This must be a god!"

"There is also the yamen officer who wanted to be rude to her, so he fell down and ate his shit."

"The demonic wind just now... no, was it because of her?"

The wind just now was too chaotic, and most people were blown around by the strong wind. In fact, they didn't see what was going on. But at this time, when others said confidently, they felt that they had seen it just now.

This person said that the girl was not touching the ground when she was walking just now, and she was sent by the wind; the person said that when the yamen was rude to her, she saw a wind blade slashing out...
