Chapter 2200: Chapter 2200: Several Groups of... Beggars!

"Your Majesty, please... watch your own actions."

Seeing Elder Bai leave, the other ministers also glanced at Emperor Ziyan and shook their heads before leaving together.

Especially those white-haired elders, who all respected Elder Bai, had long been dissatisfied with a series of actions taken by Emperor Ziyan. This time, it was even more excessive, so naturally, they left directly.

"You... you all..."

Emperor Ziyan watched as they left without giving him, the emperor, any face, his complexion turning purplish with rage.

"Just wait, one day I will show you all just how formidable I am!" After flinging his sleeves again, he also left.

At the same time, the emperor was also angry. How on earth did those old fossils find out about him fostering an evil demon body atop the phoenix vein?

Is it really as Elder Bai said, that the Tomb Guards couldn’t withstand the Truth-Seeking Powder and ended up revealing the matter of the devil’s offspring?

But why would Elder Bai interrogate those Tomb Guards without any reason?

And even used the Truth-Seeking Powder!

There must have been someone who leaked the secret of his fostering the evil demon body.

Who could it be?

The only people he brought with him to the royal mausoleum this time were two people, could it be Yin Lvqing?

Emperor Ziyan felt that it couldn’t possibly have been done by his useless fifth son, Wu’er.

He knew his son’s character; always wasting his time drinking and waiting for death, he could never amount to anything great in his lifetime.

"Yin Lvqing!"

It must have been Yin Lvqing.

This son’s ambition was much greater than that of his other sons, and he had also secretly engaged in some shameful activities. At that time, he had turned a blind eye.

Now it appears he has been too indulgent.

"Summon Yin Lvqing, that scourge, to the palace at once!" he ordered the Chief Steward at his side.

...

The matter of the demon body was not confined to the court.

Even among the common people, all one could hear about were the stories regarding the evil demon body in the royal mausoleum; it was truly uncontrollable.

Meanwhile, Yin Lvqing had no idea that Emperor Ziyan had pinned the blame for the evil demon body on him.

At this moment, he was in his own mansion, losing his temper at his guards.

"What is this? What are these?"

He grabbed a stack of papers and flung them at the foreheads of the kneeling guards.

"I asked for information on those who have entered Prince Niu’s Mansion, what is this? Are these relatives of Princess Consort Niu?"

Initially, some proper relatives of Princess Consort Niu did pay visits, but it didn’t take long before it changed.

Relatives of concubines and lesser wives all showed up, and it even included relatives of servants!

Since when has Prince Niu’s Mansion become a marketplace that anyone can enter? As if just saying they were going to Prince Niu’s Mansion was enough to get a tour.

Even more infuriating was that the lists... mentioned several groups of... beggars!

And facing the wrath of their master, the guards were full of grievances too.

What could they do?

The area outside the gates of Prince Niu’s Mansion was bare; they tried to keep watch, but how could they not be discovered?

And Princess Consort Niu was capable. Knowing someone was monitoring their mansion, she would surely find ways to counter it.

And now they were welcoming all sorts of people into the mansion.

They even suspected that those people might have been deliberately sent by Princess Consort Niu herself!
