The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1268

Chapter 1268: Chapter 1077, Killing Three Birds with One Arrow

The Emperor’s birthday celebration was underway, and no one dared to cause trouble at such a moment. With Daomang being titled Princess Chun’an, everyone, regardless of their true feelings, could only smile and offer their congratulations.

However, nothing is absolute, and indeed, there was someone reckless enough to step forward at this time.

Imperial Censor Jia ’thud’ kneeled before the great hall, and ’bang bang bang’ went three resounding kowtows, so forceful one might think the head wasn’t his own.

"Your Majesty, the Second Prince, in his ambition to seize the so-called Wolong Land, wantonly slaughtered the villagers, causing hundreds of innocent villagers to lose their lives. I implore Your Majesty to seek justice for the people."

With a tone both high and heartrending, complemented by the blood trickling from Imperial Censor Jia’s head, he was vividly framed as a loyal minister preocupied with the nation’s plight.

The great hall, once filled with laughter and noise, suddenly paused and fell silent.

The Emperor coldly eyed Imperial Censor Jia, before withdrawing his gaze after a moment and picking up a cloth to wipe Daomang’s mouth.

Below, everyone was utterly shocked.

Today was the Emperor’s sixtieth birthday, even if there was something afoot, it should not be raised at this moment.

The Crown Prince and others furrowed their brows, coldly staring at Imperial Censor Jia, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, the Second Prince was trembling with rage, glaring at Imperial Censor Jia as if he wished to cut him down on the spot: "Imperial Censor Jia, you speak nonsense!"

The Fifth Prince’s expression was also dire.

It was because Imperial Censor Jia was one of his men.

Yet, he had no idea why Imperial Censor Jia would cause such a scene, since he had never requested him to do so.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at the Emperor and then walked over to Imperial Censor Jia, lifting him up: "On the Emperor’s grand birthday, how dare you make such chaos here? Guards, take this man away."

As soon as the words fell, the Imperial Guards promptly entered.

Seeing this, a look of panic flashed in Imperial Censor Jia’s eyes, but then he steeled his heart, rushing toward the pillar in the hall: "Your Majesty, I vow with my life, please seek justice for the people."

Unfortunately, Xiao Yeyang was right there, and how could he allow success? With a stretch of his leg, he tripped Imperial Censor Jia to the ground, who was then taken away by the incoming Imperial Guards.

The Emperor, who showed no reaction earlier, had now completely turned cold upon hearing these words.

A censor offering his life to prove his loyalty—this was indirectly stating the Emperor as an unwise ruler and on his sixtieth birthday no less, clearly an intent to disgust him.

Seeing he failed to die, Imperial Censor Jia was in great fear. He had heard of how terrifying the punishments of the Jinling Guard and the Imperial Guards were, and now his face was ashen with despair, desperately looking towards the Fifth Prince for help.

"Fifth Prince, save me!"

At these words, all the ministers collectively gasped.

Imperial Censor Jia was one of the Fifth Prince’s people?

So it was the Fifth Prince wanting to harm the Second Prince?

Xiao Yeyang listened to the whispered discussions among the officials, seeing the Emperor’s face grow increasingly grim, he quickly spoke up: "Royal Uncle, today is your birthday; you shouldn’t let Imperial Censor Jia spoil the mood. Perhaps we could detain him first and later decide his fate."

The Emperor scanned the hall, his gaze eventually settling on the Second and Fifth Princes: "Do you have anything to say?"

Evidently, the Emperor did not intend to defer the judgment.

The Second Prince and the Fifth Prince quickly came forward, kneeling in the center of the hall.

"Father, your son is wronged!"

"Father, your son is wronged!"

Knowing he was doomed, Imperial Censor Jia shouted in a desperate plea: "Your Majesty, I have evidence." Then, looking at the Fifth Prince, "Fifth Prince, have you forgotten that you instructed me to keep an eye on the Second Prince?"

"Otherwise, how could I have known about the Second Prince ordering the Bai Family to massacre hundreds of villagers?"

"Your Majesty, if you do not believe me, you may immediately send the Imperial Guards to Luyou Village to investigate. There is a stone pit where the massacred villagers are buried."

"Your Majesty, what I said is the whole truth."

On hearing this, the Fifth Prince’s expression became somewhat evasive. He indeed had instructed Imperial Censor Jia to monitor the Second Prince.

But such acts were something even the Crown Prince was involved in.

Furthermore, Imperial Censor Jia had never reported any massacre by the Bai Family before.

The Second Prince, noticing the Fifth Prince’s expression, immediately understood Imperial Censor Jia was the Fifth Prince’s man, feeling an intense hatred towards him—his fifth brother was betraying him!

He swore never to have ordered the Bai Family to massacre the village; he did know of Wolong Land and had instructed the Bai Family to purchase it.

It was a purchase made with Silver, the massacre was sheer nonsense.

Yet, seeing Imperial Censor Jia’s resolute demeanor, the Second Prince felt a sinking feeling inside.
