Chapter 1189 Those Who Are Barefoot Are Not Afraid of Those Who Wear Shoes (Second Update)

Huo Yushen's face darkened slightly, and he bowed and stepped back.

Outside the door, the commander-in-chief of the cabinet, the speakers of the upper and lower houses of the Senate, the five chiefs of staff of the military, and the high priest Su Yanxing also bowed and stepped down.

Only the chief physician was left standing in the corner.

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan glanced at him and said, "You also stand down."

"I know my body and nothing will happen to me again."

"If you feel uncomfortable, I will summon you into the palace."

"You haven't had any rest for so many days, right? I'll give you a long vacation."

The chief physician hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan said with a smile: "If you are free, you can go to the Special Security Bureau more often and see if you can cure Xia Chujian's brain fog."

The chief physician nodded in agreement.

After he left, only the Queen Li Fengen and the Emperor were left in the imperial study.

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan raised his head and said to Queen Li Fengen: "Zitong, please go down too. I am tired and want to rest."

Queen Li Fengen walked up to the emperor, looked into his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, where is my daughter?"

"When will you issue an order for the Department of Corrections to investigate the case?"

"Nineteen years have passed. I must find out whether my daughter is alive or dead!"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan said displeasedly: "I told you she was dead. She died as soon as she was born. Why are you still talking about life and death? - You don't believe what I say?"

"No matter what time it is now, you still only remember your daughter!"

"Do you know that our empire is under the threat of the Zerg army?"

"You are the mother of a country, how can you be so narrow-minded?!"

"Any woman in this entire empire can be your daughter, why should you only care about your own biological one?"

Queen Li Fengen was about to laugh at Emperor Tantai Hongyuan's plausive words.

She sneered and said, "Really? Then can His Majesty's throne be passed on to any woman in the empire?"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan became angry and waved his sleeves: "Queen! Don't think that I dare not punish you!"

"The child you gave birth to died, what does it have to do with me?!"

"If you want to investigate the case, find someone to do it yourself!"

"I'm busy here!"

"The Zerg army is about to attack us, and you only remember these little things!"

Queen Li Fengen came closer and said, "I don't care about the Zerg army! I just want to know whether my daughter is alive or dead!"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan looked away unnaturally and said, "Of course he is dead."

Queen Li Fengen then asked: "What about the body? Was it really disposed of with the newborns? Did Your Majesty see her die with your own eyes?"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan shook his head: "How do I know?"

"The doctor who was responsible for delivering the baby said she was dead. I only took a look at her from a distance and had her taken away for treatment."

Queen Li Fengen said: "Where is the doctor who delivered the baby?"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan was angry: "It's been nineteen years! For this kind of thing, the queen won't think that I, the emperor, can still remember the whereabouts of a midwife, right?"

Queen Li Fengen took a deep breath and said, "I will check."

"When I gave birth to my child, the medical staff who delivered me kept records."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan looked indifferent: "Then go check it out."

"Okay, you go down."

He looked like he couldn't wait to drive the queen away.

Queen Li Fengen had no intention of leaving, but said: "Your Majesty, if my daughter is still alive, she will be the first heir to the empire."

"Your Majesty, do you really not care about her life or death?!"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan said displeasedly: "I want to care, but can I care?!"

"Nineteen years have passed, and I have long been reincarnated as a human being."

"If she is really not dead, even if she is brought back, she will still be a useless person."

"If Queen Li Fengen cares so much about the empire's heir, then give me another child..."

Queen Li Fengen did not expect that the dignified emperor would actually cheat.

She looked at Emperor Tantai Hongyuan bitterly and said nothing for a long time.

Just when Emperor Tantai Hongyuan thought she was giving up, Queen Li Fengen suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I can no longer pursue the whereabouts of my daughter."

"However, I hope your majesty will let Xia Chujian go."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan did not expect that Queen Li Fengen would intercede for Xia Chujian.

He squinted his eyes and looked at Queen Li Fengen coldly: "... let Xia Chujian go?"

"Why are you so interested in her?"

Queen Li Fengen said lightly: "I am not interested in anyone except my own daughter."

"But Xia Chujian finally helped my daughter uncover the shady secrets and didn't let that fake dove take over the magpie's nest!"

"Just because of this, I can't let her go."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan couldn't help laughing: "You can't just let her go?"

"Tell me, how do you want to take care of it?!"

"Have you forgotten that I am the emperor?"

Queen Li Fengen looked at Emperor Tantai Hongyuan, showed a strange smile for a while, and said, "Really?"

"Your Majesty is indeed the emperor, but your Majesty, I know how Mrs. Jiuyi's daughter died."

"If Your Majesty won't let Xia Chu meet, I can go to see Mrs. Jiuyi immediately and tell her that her daughter..."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan looked horrified and interrupted Queen Li Fengen's words loudly: "Shut up!"

"You... you... poisonous woman!"

In an instant, Emperor Tantai Hongyuan activated his spiritual power.

But Queen Li Fengen was also a high-level genetic evolver. Although she was covering her head and feeling very uncomfortable, she was not killed immediately by him.

Queen Li Fengen endured the severe pain in her head and said loudly: "Your Majesty!"

"If you don't let Xia Chu meet, your original ceremony will be announced on the Star Network immediately!"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan's mental attack came to an abrupt end.

He looked at Queen Li Fengen in surprise and said, "...What did you say? What ceremony did you just talk about?"

Queen Li Fengen straightened up and said word by word: "The sacrificial ceremony...have you forgotten it?"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan never expected that the queen would even know about this!

His expression was unpredictable. After a while, he said, "Zitong, who told you this?"

Queen Li Fengen said calmly: "When my father was dying, he held a ceremony. At that time, he was the chief of the inner guard who officiated..."

"I happened to have something to go to the palace to see the eldest princess at that time, but I took the wrong way and happened to see her."

"It's a pity that the ceremony failed. My father died suddenly and you were able to ascend the throne."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan's eyes were cloudy and uncertain.

Queen Li Fengen continued: "Nineteen years ago, you held another sacrificial ceremony..."

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan stretched out his hand to stop her: "Okay, Queen, this matter ends here."

Queen Li Fengen said: "What about Xia Chujian? If Your Majesty really wants to kill her, I guarantee that after her death, Your Majesty's sacrificial ceremony will definitely appear on the Star Network!"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan was so angry that his face turned red.

He pointed his finger at the queen's face, and after a long while, he said: "Why do you have to protect Xia Chu's first meeting?!"

"She is also nineteen years old this year. Is it possible that you think she is your biological daughter?!"

"Stop dreaming. I have tested her genetic sequence and it has nothing to do with the royal family!"

Queen Li Fengen said lightly: "In His Majesty's eyes, Xia Chujian is just a pawn, but in my eyes, she is indeed my daughter's great benefactor!"

"No matter whether my daughter lives or dies, it is because of her that my daughter was redressed!"

This is almost like pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding him...

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan glared at Queen Li Fengen, gritted his teeth for a while and said, "Okay! I will give the Queen this face!"

"Xia Chu saw that the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be escaped!"

"She killed the Crown Princess, there is no doubt about it!"

"As for how to deal with it, I have to think about it carefully!"

Queen Li Fengen did not give him the time to "think about it".

She said: "Your Majesty, are you still going to torture Xia Chujian? Are you going to make her life worse than death?"

"Are you treating me like a fool?"

"I have nothing now. Your Majesty, do you want to give it a try and take a gamble with someone who has nothing?"

This is someone who is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.

Of course Emperor Tantai Hongyuan was also very afraid of the Queen. After all, she was his wife who had lived with him for most of his life, and she had many fans among the people. She was also born in the Li family, so he could not push the Queen to a dead end...

But it was still very uncomfortable for him to lower his head.

He became angry and said, "What do you want?!"

Queen Li Fengen said firmly: "Let her go now!"

Emperor Tantai Hongyuan refused: "Don't even think about it! Get out! Get out now!"

He pointed in the direction of the door.

But before Queen Li Fengen said harsh words, Emperor Tantai Hongyuan still said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will give her a chance!"

Queen Li Fengen paused and hesitated to speak, because she also understood the emperor very well and did not want to push him into a hurry.

This guy is a lunatic. If he is driven to a panic, he may not be able to do something like death.

Queen Li Fengen took one last look at him and turned to leave.

…

Not long after Xia Chujian returned to his villa, he heard Qilu's slightly panicked voice: "Master, master! It's not good! It's not good! We are surrounded!"

Xia Chujian: "..."

She murmured to herself: "Surrounded? This word is really new to me..."

Before she finished speaking, the door to the living room of her villa was kicked open.

Meng Guanghui led twenty men and women wearing Special Security Bureau uniforms, broke through the large oak door, and soon appeared in front of her, literally surrounding her.

Xia Chujian didn't ask him to lead.

Because Meng Guanghui held a gun in his hand and was pointing it at her.

Looking at Xia Chujian, Meng Guanghui said word by word: "Xia Chujian, according to the emperor's order, I want to arrest you and put you in the Special Security Bureau prison."

Xia Chujian left early and did not see the emperor recover and wake up.

But she guessed what happened from Meng Guanghui's words.

She raised her eyebrows and said: "The emperor's decree? Is he already awake? Or are you pretending to give the decree?!"

This is the second update. There will be a new update at 05:00 in the evening.
