Chapter 37: Slander. She’s slandered me!
Chapter 37 Slander, O She Slanders Me!
Zhao Yi was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the female lead.
The female lead was also quite famous in Shengjing City.
Apart from the fact that Zhao Yi was a bottomless dog licker who often made her the talk of the town, there was another important reason, and that was because she was also the “No. 1 Talented Girl in Shengjing City”.
The Daxia Dynasty did not restrict women from becoming officials.
Due to the special situation of the royal children, the emperor would go crazy at the age of sixty.
In order to stabilize the dynasty, the Empress would usually preside over the affairs of the new Emperor during the transition period.
In order to prevent people with ulterior motives from criticizing the Empress for being a woman, the royal family would also absorb some talented women into the court as officials to assist the Empress in completing the transition of political affairs during the special period.
However, it is difficult to define “talent”.
Moreover, the royal family did not have the patience to distinguish between them.
Therefore, when the royal family chose a person, they would often look at the reputation first.
Although fame did not mean high talent, the royal family did not care.
It was just an exchange of benefits.
The royal family used the fame of these women to endorse the reasonableness of the Empress’ rule.
The women worked for the royal family in exchange for the right to join the government like the men.
As for talents
Due to the special attributes of the Mad Dragon Kung Fu, the seeding efficiency of the Daxia Zhao Clan’s royal bloodline was extremely high, and the offspring born were all strong and robust, with very few teenagers dying young.
With a large base of noble sons and daughters, there were naturally countless outstanding talents.
The royal family has no shortage of talent.
What the royal family lacks is talent with a long life!
The heroine is ambitious and has been thinking of joining the dynasty as an official, so naturally she will not let go of the Spring Tide Poetry Festival where she can make a name for herself.
Zhao Yi glanced at the female lead and didn’t bother to talk nonsense with her, pointing at Yao Qing, he said to Little Poison, “Take that woman with you and go back to the palace with this emperor!”
Little Poisonous Thing hurriedly agreed and reached out to grab Yao Qing.
Yao Qing was closest to that white candle and inhaled the most poisonous mist.
The others could still make angry expressions on their faces, and all she could move was her eyes.
Seeing the little poisonous creature’s hand reaching out, a pleading look appeared in Yao Qing’s eyes.
However, the Little Poisonous Creature simply ignored her and reached out, grabbing Yao Qing’s shoulders and dragging her up.
“Stop!”
When the heroine saw Zhao Yi ignoring her, the anger on her face grew even more.
She glanced at the male lead who had fallen to the ground, and two lines of tears instantly flowed down her face.
She thought the male lead was dead.
But it wasn’t the heroine’s fault.
Whoever saw the male lead would surely have thought he was dead as well.
The male lead’s appearance was simply too miserable!
The male lead already had internal injuries and his face was pale without a trace of blood.
He was also poisoned just now.
Although the little poisonous creature used the red scorpion to detoxify him, the remaining poison was not something that could be cleared so quickly.
At this moment, the male lead’s lips were purple, his eyes were wide open, and there was a bloody hole in the center of his eyebrow that had been poked by the poisonous scorpion’s tail needle, which was gurgling with black blood.
Perhaps the scorpion needle was too poisonous, the hero’s face muscles were all twisted in pain.
Good luck, the little poisonous creature’s paralyzing poison happened to strike.
The twisted muscles on the male lead’s face looked like they were instantly frozen, his face was hideous.
From afar, he looked like a dead ghost!
The candle that the little poisonous creature had poisoned was right next to the male lead, and he had inhaled more toxins than Yao Qing.
Yao Qing’s eyes could still move.
The male lead, on the other hand, was completely unconscious, even the rise and fall of his chest had stopped.
Just like this, anyone looking at him would think he was dead.
And the death was extremely tragic!
The heroine glared at Zhao Yi and said with grief and indignation, ”Can an imperial prince kill people wantonly? Are the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty all child’s play? Where is heaven’s justice, where is justice?”
Snap!
Huang Ying’s figure suddenly flashed, instantly arriving in front of the heroine.
Raising her hand, she slapped her fiercely!
“Unbridled!”
Huang Ying pulled out a gold medal from her waist, raised it high, and shouted sternly, “Slandering the prince and defaming the law is a crime punishable by death! Men, arrest her, along with her family, all of them to death row!”
With such a big event happening at Four Seas House, the city guards’ men had long been alarmed.
It’s just that Zhao Yi is standing inside, and without a decree, all of them don’t dare to come forward.
At this moment, hearing Huang Ying’s order and seeing the prince’s gold medal, the city guards no longer hesitated and stepped forward to grab the heroine!
The heroine’s cheeks were swollen high and there was a clear slap mark on her face.
Being attacked with swords and axes, instead of being afraid, she was filled with grief and indignation like a brave warrior who had bravely stood up for justice, crying out, ”A prince committing a crime is the same as a commoner! As long as there is injustice, there will be people who will stand up against it! If you can kill one of me, can you still kill millions of people in Da Xia?”
Zhao Yi: “……”
He froze and looked at the heroine with a confused look on his face.
This is the female lead?
What the hell kind of persona did the author of the original get up to?
Could there really be a protagonist this stupid?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi’s face suddenly changed again.
If the female lead was stupid.
Then what was he, the male supporting character who had been kneeling and licking the female lead?
“Obscure!”
Zhao Yi waved his hand, signaling the people from the city guards to hurry up and take the female lead away.
It was hard to even look at her one more time!
“And that person!”
Zhao Yi reached out and pointed to the poisoned runner under the windowsill.
“Take him back for interrogation, I want everything he knows!”
The junior colonel of the city guards hurriedly answered and respectfully clasped his fists, “I will follow your orders!”
After saying that, he waved his hand, and two City Guard officers and soldiers quickly stepped forward, dragging that runner out of the restaurant.
It was also unknown how much that runner had a grudge against the male lead.
Even if he was caught, he might immediately suffer a brutal punishment.
He still didn’t forget to turn around to make sure the male lead was dead or alive.
Seeing that the male lead’s face was deathly gray, his face was like gold paper, and he was obviously out of breath and less in breath, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face.
“Look!”
Zhao Yi said to Yao Qing, who had a horrified look on her face, “This is called more action than good will lead to death!”
After saying that, he beckoned towards Little Poison, “Take her with you and go back to the house!”
The little poisonous creature knew that he had passed Zhao Yi’s test, and his face was filled with joy.
It was just that her face was covered in blood, and when she showed her teeth and grinned, the dark red blood looked like a poisonous insect writhing around, making people shudder at the sight.
Yao Qing’s eyes were desperate.
She struggled to roll her eyes, wanting to take one last look at the male lead.
Unfortunately, the little poisonous creature didn’t give her a chance, dragging her along and catching up with Zhao Yi’s pace with gusto.
The news of the restaurant’s accident had already spread throughout the entire Lake of Forgetfulness.
The young girls who were originally playing at the lake were all back from the lake embankment and gathered around the restaurant to watch the fun.
The heroine is still constantly shouting the ghost words of “the prince violates the law and the common people are equally guilty”.
The surrounding women had heard about Zhao Yi’s “evil deeds” from her, and when they saw him come out, they all took a few steps back.
Seeing this, Zhao Yi’s heart immediately exclaimed that it was not good.
Those big girls and little daughters-in-law looked at him like jackals, wolves, tigers and leopards, and some of the timid ones were about to be scared to tears.
At this rate, how can he find a date?
Ahem!
Zhao Yi coughed lightly, ready to explain and try to salvage his precarious image.
Just then, the little poisonous creature dragged Yao Qing after him.
She looked at Zhao Yi and said with gusto, “Master, I’ve brought over this woman you want, shall we eat her now?”
Zhao Yi: “???”
Big girls and little daughters-in-law:”!!!”
