Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 212 Auspicious Omens Descend from Heaven!

The young eunuch spoke vividly and animatedly, leaving everyone in the Fengtian Hall mesmerized!

Feng Polu couldn't help but ask, "What nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean by digging a person out of a lotus pond, and making them look so lifelike? Is the person alive or dead?"

The young eunuch immediately replied, "General Feng, if that's what you're saying, then he's definitely dead beyond dead!"

"I heard that Miss Nianmei had been missing for many days, and the entire Eastern Palace was searching for her. I never expected that she would drown in the lotus pond."

"When I came out, I heard the people from the East Palace talking about it. They said that they had been looking for Miss Nianmei for a long time, but this time she's really gone!"

puff-

Zhou Wei, who was at the back of the line, couldn't help but burst out laughing!

She couldn't help but take a second look at the little eunuch. Where did Bai Xiaoxiao find such an interesting person?

That little eunuch licking his lips, he could probably poison himself to death, right?

Zhou Wei's laughter was abrupt, and her laughter made the assembled officials want to laugh as well.

The somber and sorrowful atmosphere that had filled the hall was instantly dispelled.

Mei Xingyue glared at Zhou Wei with venomous hatred: "You wretched servant, my daughter died tragically, and you can still laugh?"

"Why can't I laugh?" Zhou Wei scoffed. "Your daughter was a reincarnation of a demon, worse than an animal, who tortured and killed countless people. It's just that she drowned in the lotus pond, so you can consider it a peaceful end."

Mei Xingyue was so angered by the rebuke that she couldn't catch her breath and collapsed to the ground, coughing violently.

The crown prince glanced at Zhou Wei and made a decision in his heart.

'I was originally thinking about who to target to establish my authority when Xuan Su arrives, but this lowly servant girl has walked right into my path. So don't blame me for being impolite.'

The thought that Xuan Su could break Zhou Wei's bones with a single slap filled the Crown Prince with a sense of satisfaction.

No matter how vicious Jiang Nianmei is, she is still his child. It's not up to Zhou Wei, that lowly servant, to say anything!

Feeling the Crown Prince's resentful gaze, Zhou Wei couldn't help but sneer.

They're just stray dogs, what's there to be arrogant about?

At this moment, Li An, who had been suppressing his emotions for a long time, finally stood up and bowed to Bai Xiaoxiao.

"Your Highness, the Mei family of four has committed numerous evils, including killing countless people and daring to escape from prison. They should be executed! Jiang Nianyue has fled out of fear of punishment. I believe that an arrest warrant should be issued immediately and sent to all prefectures to capture this man."

“Mei Xingyue is neither talented nor virtuous. She boasted that she could solve the snow disaster in the capital, but in the end, she caused a peasant uprising. As a mother, she failed to educate her children properly and allowed the three Mei sons to do evil. I believe that not only should Mei Xingyue be executed, but her crimes should also be made public to the world!”

Upon hearing Li An's memorial, Mei Xingyue felt weak all over and couldn't even utter a rebuttal.

Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the Crown Prince…

The crown prince has not yet been deposed, so she still has a chance. As long as the crown prince remains the heir apparent, he will surely be able to protect her.

When the crown prince ascends the throne, she can make a comeback!

Mei Xingyue's heart was rekindled with hope, but Li An's next words plunged her into an icy abyss.

"Your Highness, not only should the four members of the Mei family be executed, but I also believe that the seven-day agreement should also have a result."

“Mei Xingyue impersonated the goddess, seeking fame and fortune, and attempted to save the common people, but she inadvertently provoked a riot by the refugees. The Crown Prince lost this seven-day agreement.”

"Your Majesty, I request that you immediately depose the Crown Prince and establish a new Emperor, as agreed!"

Ang Lee had been holding his breath for a long time, and now he finally let it out.

He not only demanded that the four members of the Mei family be buried with Li, but the Crown Prince, the instigator, should also pay the price.

How can such a muddle-headed person be fit to be the crown prince?

The Crown Prince glared at Li An: "Li An, how could you be so heartless? You are, after all, my father-in-law!"

Li An sneered, "Father-in-law? Your Highness, you flatter me. My Li family would never presume to associate with you. Since my daughter's death, my Li family has had no further connection with you!"

The crown prince was so angry that he laughed instead, pointed at Li An, and was speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he flicked his sleeves and said arrogantly, "The death of the Li family was an accident. I felt guilty towards your Li family and was prepared to make amends, but I did not expect that you, Li An, would not know how to appreciate it! In that case, I hope that Lord Li will not regret it in the future."

After the Crown Prince finished speaking, he said to Bai Xiaoxiao, "Imperial Consort, the reason we set a seven-day deadline was because you said that the omen of Mars guarding the star should befall me, and that the Crown Prince was immoral, which is why strange phenomena and blizzards occurred."

"But I believe that the Imperial Noble Consort's words are biased, and the omen of Mars guarding the star has nothing to do with me!"

Bai Xiaoxiao was unaware of the Crown Prince's backup plan and thought he was still struggling in his death throes.

He said impatiently, "Yue Shan, a loss is a loss. Even if you lose your position as crown prince, you are still a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and your status remains noble. Such stubbornness only makes you lose face."

The Empress often spoke of dignity, a phrase that Bai Xiaoxiao now used to advise the Crown Prince.

The prince felt a tightness in his chest and waves of nausea washed over him!

Just when Bai Xiaoxiao thought the Crown Prince had run out of options and was preparing to take out the Imperial Seal and issue an edict to depose him, an Embroidered Uniform Guard came in to report.

"Your Highness, the Fengshan Camp has sent auspicious omens and is waiting outside the palace."

Auspicious omen?

Upon hearing the auspicious omen, Mei Xingyue's eyes immediately regained their sparkle!

Yes, she was so disturbed by the series of blows that she even forgot about the auspicious Xuan Su.

This panda is the prince's backup plan!

Thinking of the panda's ferocity, Mei Xingyue's gaze swept over the Princess, Zhou Wei, and everyone present who had embarrassed her.

Taking this opportunity, I will make Xuan Su eliminate these vile people one by one.

The confidence brought by the Xuan Su auspicious beast even briefly shifted Mei Xingyue's gaze to the Imperial Noble Consort.

Bai Xiaoxiao is a cultivator and is extremely perceptive!

Sensing Mei Xingyue's ill-intentioned gaze, he immediately became wary.

Subconsciously, she felt that this auspicious omen was unusual and that it was best not to allow it into the palace.

Just as Bai Xiaoxiao was about to dismiss the Embroidered-Robed Envoy and have the people from the Fengshan Camp take the auspicious omen away.

The eldest princess suddenly asked, "Oh? An auspicious omen? Really?"

As soon as Jiang Yueli spoke, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately swallowed her rebuke and quietly looked at the Princess.

The Embroidered-Robe Envoy knelt on the ground and truthfully replied, "That's what the people from the Fengshan Camp said, but I don't know the specifics."

The eldest princess smiled gracefully: "If that's the case, then I'd love to see it for myself."

"These days, the Emperor has not held court, and the capital has been hit by a severe snowstorm, causing great suffering to the people. And now, to make matters worse, we have the celestial phenomenon of Mars guarding the stars."

"If there are indeed auspicious omens from the heavens, perhaps it is a hint from the heavens to our Great Zhou. We should take a look."

The princess's words made Bai Xiaoxiao frown.

Mei Xingyue and the Crown Prince both looked tense, with the Crown Prince's hand, hidden in his wide sleeve, clenched into a fist.

Success or failure hinges on this one thought!

If the Imperial Noble Consort forbids auspicious omens from entering the palace, then he will have to resort to risky measures, in which case the benefits brought by the auspicious omens will inevitably be diminished.

Mei Xingyue became even more nervous; the auspicious beast was her lifeline at this moment.

If even this last straw is gone, she will be plunged into the abyss!

Fortunately, a short while later, Mei Xingyue and the Crown Prince heard the words that relieved them greatly.

"Since Yue Li says so, then let Xiangrui enter the hall!"
