The atmosphere of the whole court was weird to the extreme. Half of the civil official's support boosted Censor Zhu's momentum. And his trembling body gradually got steadied down. His Majesty's expression also looked kind of eased. Chu Yunhan on the side lightly frowned. After noticing Yan Shengrui so poised, his former worries quietly disappeared. No one cared about Jingxuan more than him. Since he could still stay so poised, then he didn't have to over-worried.
All civil officials usually subjected to the left and right prime ministers, and all military officials took Yan Shengrui as the lead. As Duke Zeng had retired to the backstage for many years, actually the one only who was still in power was Yan Shengrui alone. Before he showed his stance, no one else dare stand out rashly. They were all waiting. Not only them, even those civil officials kneeling on the ground and His Majesty sitting up in the dragon chair were waiting for Yan Shengrui's reaction.
"What else? Anyone who has any accusations, bring it on. I'm in a good mood today. So, you can say whatever you want.'
It would be a lie if he said he was not mad at all. He even had never said any harsh words to his wife, when was it their turn to jib-jab about his wife? But, Yan Shengrui was never a man of patience. Such kind of situation, he only allowed it to happen for once. SO this time, he'd destroy all of them once for all!
All the civil officials kneeling on the ground could not help but frown. Why was it different from what they had expected? What tricks was he up to?
"Since you have finished, it's my turn then.'
With his sharp eyes sweeping over at them one by one, his dominance nearly flooded out like crazy. No one saw how he moved. When everyone reacted, Yan Shengrui was already standing before Censor Zhu, and the latter who was kneeling on the ground cowered subconsciously, with his face stained with undisguised nervousness and fear. He even forgot to breathe, only looking up at him there dully like a statue.
pαndα`noνɐ1~сoМ "My wife knocked open the gate of my mansion. What does it have anything to do with you? As long as he is happy, I can ask tens of my people to knock open the gate everyday. And as the first wife, it is his job to lesson those maids and servants. And you also have a problem with that? Censor Zhu, I guess you really have nothing to do all day, do you?'
"Bang!"
"Ouch..."
"Ah..."
As the last word fell, Yan Shengrui threw a kick at him, while Censor Zhu's body, like a kite with its thread broken, knocked onto the giant pillar a few meters away. And his anguish filled the whole hall, and the blood spitted out made a bloody arch in the air. The moment his body touched the ground, Censor Zhu tilted his head and breathed his last. Maybe until he died, he didn't expect that Yan Shengrui would really kill him. Seeing that scene, everyone on spot gasped, eyes wide open only staring at the dead Censor Zhu there, and then the overwhelming Yan Shengrui. Those timid ones even started to shudder. So scary! Over a year, Highness Sheng was still that Highness Sheng, who wouldn't allow anyone to challenge him.
'Shengrui!'
With a slap on the armrest of his dragon chair, Yan Shengryi sprung up, with those wide opened eyes rendered with naked anger and dissatisfaction. How dare he kill someone before the court??? Did he still have him the emperor in his eyes?
When Yan Shengzhi lost control before, Chu Yunhan would try to soothe him symbolically, so would Seven, but today, obviously they didn't mean to do anything. Not only because he held some ill intention against Ling Jingxuan's background, but also because Yan Shengrui had been paranoid to a sickly extent. Letting them stand out now to speak for those civil officials. He really couldn't. But if they spoke for Highness Sheng or Jingxuan, Yan Shengzhi might not say anything on spot, but after this, he'd definitely guard against them, after all, he knew something, right? So, their only choice was to stay silent.
"Imperial elder brother, don't so loud, I can hear you."
Totally thinking he had done nothing wrong, Yan Shengrui turned to throw him a casual look, and then paced back slowly. When he stood before those officials kneeling down there, everyone couldn't help holding their heart in the throat. Even Yan Shengzhi popped out his eyes. Would he lose his sense and kill everyone here like years ago?
That was what all civil officials and His Majesty were thinking. While on the side of those military officials, Duke Zeng who had always slightly narrowed his eyes there acted like nothing that happened today had nothing to do with him. Even when Yan Shengrui killed Censor Zhu, he only slightly lifted his eyelids and threw an eye at it, and then resumed his composure. As he made no move, of course those military officials behind dare not make any move. Everyone was staring at Yan Shengrui with expectations. Yeah, expectations. Since ancient times, civil officials and military officials were incompatible like fire and water. Plus they had offended their god of war. So now they only wished Yan Shengrui could teach them a good lesson today.
