"What is rashness!?" Tu Zexin roared loudly, which shocked everyone and made Princess Anqin's delicate body tremble, almost causing internal injuries. "I think it would be reckless to allow a rebellious traitor like Ortai to run rampant in the world without any scruples! Your Majesty the Emperor, please issue an order to execute Ortai immediately!"
Tu Zexin advanced step by step and refused to give in. It looked like he was determined to put Ertai to death.
"I..." The pressure An Xi was under at this time was beyond words. Ertai was his right-hand man, so he was naturally reluctant to kill him, but the pressure from Tu Zexin was really beyond his ability to resist.
"Your Majesty, there is no time to hesitate any longer! As a monarch, how can you watch the people being ravaged and tortured by traitorous officials? Please give the emperor an order!" [
"Ertai is an important minister after all. This matter is serious, and my royal brother must consider it carefully. Master, please go back first!" Princess Anqin shouted urgently.
"Consider it carefully? Humph! To put it bluntly, you just don't believe me. You think I'm trying to harm Zhongliang, right?"
Princess Anqin said solemnly, "I didn't say that..."
"Bastard!" Tu Zexin shouted angrily and forced Princess Anqin back three steps. Her body swayed and her face was pale and bloodless.
Tu Zexin took a step forward, pointed at Princess Anqin, and shouted angrily, "You didn't say that, but I'm not a fool, why can't I understand the meaning of your words? I've been able to do it all my life. You are sitting upright, with an open mind and a clear conscience! How can you, a prostitute, question my character and morality in front of me?"
Tu Zexin's eyes at this time were as sharp as knives, and there was a cold murderous intent in them. Emperor An Xi had no doubt that Tu Zexin would kill Princess Anqin in the next moment.
"National Master, An Qin is also worried about national affairs. He doesn't want to kill a good person by mistake. I don't mean to disrespect you. Please calm down and don't be acquainted with her." Emperor An Xi hurriedly smoothed things over.
Tu Zexin glared at Princess Anqin fiercely, turned to Emperor An Xi, and said loudly, "Now, can His Majesty the Emperor issue the decree?"
"I..." Emperor An Xi paused, and then he realized that Tu Zexin's intention to target Princess Anqin just now was actually a trap to completely force him to a 'dead end'.
"Is it really necessary to sacrifice Ertai?" Emperor An Xi's heart was bleeding with pain. Not only because of Ertai's talent and loyalty to him, but also because if he issued an order to kill Ertai, it would chill those who were loyal to the royal family, and it would also be tantamount to publicly admitting that he, Emperor An Xi, was the imperial advisor. In front of them, they are in a weak position. The direct consequence of this is to further promote the rapid growth and expansion of the power of the National Preceptor, and push those who were originally in a wait-and-see state under the Imperial Preceptor's command.
But if he insists on not killing, Tu Zexin will definitely not give up. When the time comes for him to get into trouble, it will be troublesome.
Princess Anqin has always been known for her intelligence, but now faced with Tu Zexin's absolute strength, she had no idea at all and was only a little anxious.
"Hahaha... So what did Ertai do that is outrageous to both humans and gods? It made our great master so angry that he must be killed?" Along with a burst of hearty and rough laughter, Hunting Saint Yu Jinxiu suddenly took a step forward. Stepped in.
