Chapter 70
The Ministry of Works suddenly raised his head.

Emotions surged in his eyes, and suddenly the words Gu Sang had said in Lingnan flashed through his mind, her determined and confident demeanor, as if mocking his blind trust in the Emperor.

The Ministry of Works suddenly felt that his trust was a joke!

He shook his head in panic: "Your Majesty, the Fifty Great Punishments will take the life of your servant!"

"It is not that your humble servant is incompetent, but when I arrived in Lingnan, the Elder Princess had already monopolized sweet potatoes seven days before, Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Ah——!!"

The guards swiftly dragged the Minister of Works down.

Within the grand hall, the piercing cries and pleadings of the Ministry of Works lingered in the hearts of all the civil and military officials.

The entire court felt sympathetic towards the Ministry of Works, but not a single person dared to speak up at this moment, all lowering their heads, unaware of what they were thinking.

Pei Changying's gaze was like that of a rabid dog, fiercely staring at Gu Sang, as if wishing to charge into the screen and tear her to shreds.

Every word that came out of his mouth carried intense malice.

Pei Changying: "Vicious woman! It was you who played tricks behind the scenes! It was you who instigated Pei Weiqi to search for sweet potato vines! Have you truly forgotten the past affection between you and I?"

Gu Sang smiled brilliantly: "Of course I have."

Pei Changying gripped his fists tightly: "You think you can challenge me with mere sweet potatoes? I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers who can easily wipe out that traitor Pei Weiqi!"

"I will make you witness with your own eyes how I execute Pei Weiqi!"

"All those who dare to attempt to overthrow my reign deserve to die a thousand deaths, and you are no exception!"

Faced with Pei Changying's hateful gaze, Gu Sang did not show the slightest hint of fear.

Since Pei Changying wanted to reveal his true colors, there was nothing more to say!

If the fish dies, the net breaks!

Suddenly!

Gu Sang turned her gaze towards the third split screen, where tens of thousands of commoners were gathered outside the palace walls.

With biting words and heartfelt sentences, she questioned: "What crime has the Elder Princess committed in saving the city from plague? What crime is there in finding sweet potatoes to alleviate the disaster?"

"Must you, the lofty ruler, set aside your dignity before deigning to give your subjects a meal?"

"People, open your eyes and take a good look at your Emperor. He has long known about sweet potatoes and that mass cultivation would feed you."

"Yet he claimed sweet potatoes are a foreign product, eating them would be undignified, and ordered that no one seek them out."

"What crime has the Elder Princess committed? She merely cared for the people and ordered someone to find sweet potatoes."

"And what crime did Consort Zhao commit? She merely informed the Elder Princess of where the plague had occurred, allowing the Elder Princess to bring physicians to save lives."
