When Mu Ze left, his whole person was in a confused and stupefied state. He couldn't believe the bizarre story he had been told.
Ming Shu sent him away with a smile.
[Host, you didn't tell Jiang Xun about all this in the last story, why are you telling Mu Ze now?] The Harmony System was curious.
Don't say that's it for the sake of food again... Didn't Jiang Xun give her a lot of snacks?
Why did she choose to tell everything directly to Mu Ze?
"Who knows, perhaps I've eaten too much." I just wanted to tell him, no reason.
Most people like to find a reason for whatever they do, to make their actions reasonable.
But sometimes you do things just in that moment on a whim. Perhaps it's an impulsive intention, but there aren't so many reasons. Then outsiders will interpret it in all kinds of bizarre ways.
She just wanted to tell Mu Ze.
She just wanted to, so what?!
[Don't you think this is cruel to him?] Suddenly discovering that the person he liked was indeed a stranger occupying a foreign body, and that person herself was dead.
"If you don't even know the person you like is gone from the world, isn't it more cruel?" Ming Shu chuckled. "And you, you're a system that has always been encouraging me to do cruel things, you have no qualification to say that!"
[Well, it seems like that.] The Harmony System was very much in agreement with Ming Shu. [Perhaps, Guest, you should stir this thing up. How about telling him that it was you who killed Shen Ci, so he will hate you?]
"..."
I have to change to another system!
Immediately! Right now!!!
...
Early the next morning, the emperor sent servants to escort Ming Shu to the royal study room.
Ming Shu, under the urgent gaze of the eunuch, calmly had her breakfast and packed up the snacks prepared by Zhi Qi, then she slowly took her time to follow the eunuch, marching to the royal study room as called.
There were more people besides the emperor in the royal study room. King Huai and another strange minister were present as well.
At the foot of King Huai, some pieces of porcelain were scattered on the floor. while the shivering minister knelt beside him. King Huai lowered his head, exposing only the side of his face to Ming Shu. The emperor was wearing a darkened expression, sitting high behind his desk table. The atmosphere was very depressed.
It could be inferred that a big show had already been on before Ming Shu arrived.
"Your Majesty." Ming Shu broke the silence of the room.
The emperor acted as if he'd just noticed Ming Shu. He changed his expression and said peacefully, "The royal princess is here, come, take a seat."
The little eunuch next to him immediately carried a sandalwood chair over to Ming Shu.
"Take him out, flogg him eighty times, then exile him to the frontiers and never allow him to return." The emperor turned his face, recovering to same gloomy look.
Fear made the minister fall to the floor, and he even gave up the opportunity to defend himself. Then he was dragged out.
"You two, did I frighten you? Alas, these ministers always think I'm too old and don't have the capacity to rule this country. They dare to deceive me!" The emperor pressed between his eyebrows, looking very tired.
