Dressed as cannon fodder and vowing to kick the heroine’s head off

After Xiao Chenyi's brainwashing, the Dali Temple Minister felt that he couldn't keep any of the women in his family...

Damn it, he thought he was their god, but after all this time he became a clown?

From then on, he went home every night and stayed at his wife's place, and never dared to go anywhere else...

Two days later, the person who spread the rumors was finally found.

It turned out to be a local tyrant named Wu, who, in order to curry favor with the powerful, tried to please the emperor by fabricating rumors about a beauty contest, and also wanted to take this opportunity to send his own daughter into the palace.

He didn't expect that the Dali Temple's investigation would be so quick and lead to him so quickly.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he was secretly thinking about how to respond.

The Dali Temple Minister reported the investigation results to the emperor.

After hearing this, Xiao Chenyi's eyes flashed with a cold light. "Bring him to the court!"

After a while, the minister was brought to the court.

He knelt on the ground trembling, not daring to raise his head.

"Your humble servant greets the emperor." He said tremblingly.

"Hmph, do you know your crime? Why did you spread such rumors?" Xiao Chenyi glared at him, his voice sounding like thunder.

The man surnamed Wu was extremely terrified, with cold sweat on his forehead. He knelt down and kowtowed hurriedly, shouting:

"Your Majesty, please calm down! I am acting out of my sincere heart, only thinking about your Majesty's best interests!"

Then he continued earnestly:

"Your Majesty, you are heroic and majestic, truly a dragon among men; you are also extremely wise, brave and courageous, truly an emperor of all ages.

Almost all the unmarried girls in the capital city admire Your Majesty.

They spend the whole day lingering in teahouses listening to storytelling, or frequently visit theaters to watch drama performances, all in an attempt to relieve the endless pain of lovesickness in their hearts!

And this longing stems from their deep admiration for Your Majesty!"

Having said this, he paused for a moment, glanced at the emperor quietly, took a deep breath and continued:

“I have seen that Your Majesty has been on the throne for a long time, but the harem is still deserted, which is really worrying.

So I dared to think that perhaps Your Majesty should hold a grand beauty pageant.

In this way, the daughters of the famous families in the capital will surely be overjoyed. After all, having the opportunity to enter the palace and serve His Majesty is what they have always dreamed of. "

Finally, he did not forget to defend himself:

"I was just speaking my mind at the time, and what I said was from the bottom of my heart. I didn't mean to offend you in any way.

I never expected that the news would be misinterpreted by those eunuchs, causing everyone to mistakenly believe that His Majesty was about to start the beauty ceremony.

Please, Your Majesty, see clearly and forgive my sin of ignorance!"

"Unintentional words? You are disrupting the palace and misleading everyone!"

Xiao Chenyi angrily scolded, "When will it be your turn as an outsider to worry about the affairs of my harem?"

The man surnamed Wu was so frightened that he trembled all over and dared not say a word.

isn't it?

So many women like him, so why doesn't he want to take a concubine?

Is this emperor not capable enough?

If this happens……

Then I really got into bad luck...

Oh no……

The other ministers in the court were also silent. They all knew that the emperor was angry and anything they said at this moment might backfire.

"I really never expected that I would become the object of entertainment and entertainment for those women in the capital city!"

Xiao Chenyi's eyes, which were as bright as stars, were now slightly cold as he slowly swept over every minister present.

His voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the air around him.

If what the witch said was true, then there is no doubt that these ministers chose to conceal such an important matter.

Is it because they don't take it seriously, or are they themselves addicted to this absurd behavior and unable to extricate themselves?

The anger in Xiao Chenyi's heart was like a volcano about to erupt, burning more and more fiercely...

"Your Majesty!" With this shout, many ministers in the court knelt on the ground, and shouted in fear and trepidation: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Their foreheads were pressed against the cold ground, as if this could express the endless fear and awe in their hearts.

Xiao Chenyi sat upright on the dragon throne, his handsome and majestic face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

Sparks of anger flashed in those deep eyes as they stared intently at the ministers kneeling below.

"Hmph!" He snorted coldly. The sound was not loud, but it carried a chilling pressure. "I didn't know that there are people in the capital who dare to be so bold! How dare they imitate my stories to tell stories? It's simply lawless!"

Having said this, he stood up suddenly, waved his wide sleeves vigorously in the air, and brought up a gust of wind.

The ministers kneeling on the ground felt the emperor's tremendous rage and began to tremble involuntarily.

One of them raised his head tremblingly and said carefully: "Your Majesty, although those people are indeed telling stories about you, they did not directly mention your name... So it is difficult for me and others to intervene in this matter... I hope Your Majesty will understand!"

However, Xiao Chenyi was obviously not satisfied with this explanation.

His eyes widened with anger, and he said sternly: "What a great 'unnamed'! Are you just going to watch these people wantonly spread falsehoods and ruin my reputation? As important officials of the court, you should uphold the dignity of the royal family. How can you allow such a thing to happen!"

His words were so powerful that they echoed throughout the entire hall, making everyone tremble with fear.

The eunuch next to him immediately shouted in a shrill voice: "Dismiss the court!"

Xiao Chenyi left the hall with a rage and walked towards the queen's palace.

Only Yun Xi can understand him.

And in the harem, the preparations are still going on.

Although the people in the Imperial Household Department had heard some rumors that the beauty pageant might be a misunderstanding, they did not dare to stop the preparations without authorization. After all, this was a major matter concerning the Emperor. If the Emperor really changed his mind, they could not bear the responsibility.

Queen Yun Xi decided to meet the Emperor in person. She wanted to discuss with the Emperor how to deal with this chaotic situation.

When Xiao Chenyi passed by, she had just changed her clothes and was about to go out to look for him.

"Your Majesty, why are you here now?" Yun Xi asked in surprise.

Since ascending the throne, Xiao Chenyi has been busy until late at night or even early in the morning every day.

Sometimes, I was afraid of disturbing her rest, or because I was too tired, so I just slept in the study.

"What are you doing..." Xiao Chenyi looked at Yun Xi in front of him in surprise.
