Chapter 114 The Emperor Comes to Support Qingbao
"Your Majesty... what are you saying?"
Minister Li, who had accompanied the emperor, was dumbfounded.
He had something to report to the emperor today, but unexpectedly, he happened to run into the emperor who was feeling sleepy.
He originally intended to wait outside the imperial study until the emperor woke up before presenting his report.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the emperor woke up, he hurriedly called to leave the palace, saying that his father's sister had run into trouble.
The late emperor's sister?
Is she a centenarian?
Living to be a hundred years old was the lowest limit that Minister Li could imagine.
I didn't expect there to be something even more abstract.
It's a fucking three-year-old toddler!!!
Qingbao, a tiny little dumpling, raised her head with big, expectant eyes and looked at the Emperor.
The emperor actually squatted down and spoke to her.
He even calls her "sister"!!
Not only was Minister Li horrified, but everyone present was horrified.
Si He was alright; she'd seen this kind of thing before.
"Why are you only arriving now?" Qingbao frowned, looking unhappy.
“How dare you speak to His Majesty like that…” Minister Li boldly corrected.
The next moment, the Emperor retorted angrily: "You're the one who's bold! Does the Minister not want to be a minister anymore?!"
Minister Li immediately lowered his head.
It seems the Emperor isn't insane.
This three-year-old girl is the late emperor's older sister!
"Good Qingbao, sweet Qingbao, why are you blaming me? What happened?" The Emperor's tone was incredibly gentle.
The difference between how they treated Minister Li and how they treated him is like night and day.
Grandma Su nearly fainted.
Lord Deng trembled all over.
Qingbao looked resentful. "Are you only concerned with things in the city? In the villages outside, Old Lady Su abducted hundreds of girls, gouged out their eyes, and left no trace of their bodies. The village chiefs reported it to the authorities countless times, but after it reached the capital, there was no further news. Uncle Emperor, the people under your command are really not very good."
So many lives were lost, just because the villagers were easy to bully and easy to get rid of, the government turned a blind eye?
If they really take this matter seriously, no matter how they investigate, they will find clues.
At least, those old women only had magic bags, not magicians!
"What? Such a thing has happened?" The Emperor frowned and looked at Lord Deng.
Lord Deng trembled like a leaf, cold sweat dripping down his face. "Yes... I've heard something..."
Previously, several village chiefs complained to the capital, saying that the local government had been extremely perfunctory towards them and demanding that the capital thoroughly investigate the matter.
He thought it was just a few children who got lost while playing, and he forgot about it in his busy schedule.
"Have you heard about it?" the Emperor repeated the four words.
Countless people knelt down with a thud, not daring to breathe loudly.
“You colluded with Old Lady Su, not only turning a blind eye to the case at hand, but you also knew about the torture and murder of hundreds of girls long ago. You didn’t care because you received a lot of benefits from Old Lady Su.”
Qingbao made a clear and straightforward accusation, without any attempt to conceal her true feelings.
Lord Deng's legs went weak, and he felt utterly powerless.
How did she know?
Madam Su tried to remain calm, her eyes darting around. "Qingbao, everything requires evidence. You're just making baseless accusations, attributing the crimes committed far outside the city to me. That's simply not convincing."
Zhu Da stepped forward and knelt down. "This servant can testify that what Miss Qingbao said is true."
Wang also knelt down, saying, "My two daughters were blinded and killed by Old Madam Su. I beg Your Majesty to do justice."
Their voices trembled slightly; the person before them was none other than the supreme emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!
“In this case, two servants murdered their master, so their words cannot be used as evidence.” Old Mrs. Su gradually straightened her back.
She's starting to make sense.
Don't be afraid.
The emperor frowned and fell into deep thought.
Qingbao put her hands on her stomach and walked up to Grandma Su. "Then tell me, what can serve as evidence?"
"Do you have any eyewitnesses? Can you prove that I did all these things?" Old Mrs. Su curled her lips.
Although she was kneeling, Qingbao was standing.
But she was the same height as Qingbao, and she wasn't afraid of Qingbao.
The only person who witnessed this incident, Granny Su, had her personal maidservant torn to pieces by the villagers.
Who else can come forward to testify?
Qingbao raised her round little face and asked the Emperor in a clear voice, "Uncle Emperor, is it okay if I'm not human?"
The Emperor: "Qingbao, may I be a human being?"
Qingbao: ...
"I said, can't a witness be considered a person?"
These words were spoken.
Grandma Su was a little flustered.
How could she forget that Qingbao could command evil spirits?
No, evil spirits are those whose souls harbor resentment. Those girls didn't even know how they died, so how could they possibly harbor resentment?
Therefore, they cannot come forward to testify because they are not evil spirits.
As a malevolent star, Qingbao can only command evil spirits!
right!
Grandma Su felt a little more at ease.
"Of course, I would like to hear the details!" The Emperor walked to the main seat and sat down.
I noticed something was off about the head chair.
It's too small, and there are rough edges.
He stood up again.
Sihe quickly ordered someone to bring the best chair for the Emperor to sit down.
The Emperor showed a hint of appreciation for Si He.
"Qingbao, don't forget, you're a jinx. If you attract any unclean things and frighten His Majesty, be careful with your head."
Grandma Su threatened Qingbao viciously.
Qingbao: "Then let's exterminate your entire family! Anyway, I'll kill you first, then that scumbag father!"
"You!" Old Mrs. Su gritted her teeth in anger.
Damn it, what sins did she commit in her past life to have to be related to such a jinx?
You've ruined yourself like this!
Qingbao loosened her grip on the Soul-Locking Bag.
Hundreds of girls have turned into transparent souls and linger here.
Seeing that there was no mountain wall in front of them, they looked a little confused.
"Where is this?" Xiao Feng asked, looking completely bewildered as she wore her new clothes.
Ahua, holding a needle and thread, shook her head. "I don't know."
Hua Hua, embracing a bounty of blossoms, drifted aimlessly.
Qingbao spoke up, "This is the place where you can get justice!"
These words were spoken.
The girls' eyes were drawn to Qingbao and the Emperor.
What a powerful judicial force!
Are they the Judge and the Emperor of the Mortal Realm?
Tears streamed down their faces as they knelt before Qingbao, pleading, "My lord, please let us go home..."
They don't even remember the moments before they died.
All I knew was that I was in the village, and then I disappeared.
"Qingbao, they don't know anything at all, how can they be witnesses?" Old Lady Su said the moment she saw the spirit.
I'm a little panicked.
However, she did not harm any of the girls in the village.
How could they possibly know that they did it themselves?
Qingbao said calmly, "Who said I called them to be witnesses? I just asked them to come out and see this just trial!"
After saying that.
Judge Qingbao raised her pen.
Countless black wisps swirled in the hall, their eerie atmosphere oppressing everyone present.
Three hideous faces appeared from within the black mist.
Granny Su, Fourth Aunt Su, and Sixth Aunt Su were shouting menacingly, about to rush up and tear Old Lady Su to pieces!
