I'm Ecstatic About Transmigrating Into a Novel As the Villainous Empress's Follower

325: Section 325”If it weren’t for the favor of Your Majesty, what kind of thing would he be?”

”He’s only been titled Prince for a few days, and he already doesn’t know his own worth?”

Duke Situ was furious.

His fingers tightened.

The fine, expensive jade cup was crushed to pieces in his grip!

”You want to kill This Duke?”

”Let this old man see—”

”What kind of ability can a mere sycophantic treacherous official like him have!”

His gaze grew sharp.

Duke Situ’s official Qi surged around him!

As one of the three ducal ministers who had reached the pinnacle of officialdom, how could he be provoked by a treacherous official like Cao Yang?

...

Not long after.

Cao Yang, leading a group of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, arrived before the gate of Duke Situ’s residence.

Bang—

Ding Xiu also threw the Black Dragon Crown Prince, who was hanging on by his last breath, heavily onto the ground at the gate!

”Where is Duke Situ?”

Cao Yang spoke indifferently.

His voice was not loud.

But it resonated throughout the entire Duke Situ residence!

Creak—

The gate opened.

An elegant old man with a goat beard and a spirited demeanor walked out.

Glancing at the hundred-zhang-long Black Dragon Crown Prince at the door, his old eyes filled with incomparable rage!

He narrowed his eyes.

After seeing that the Black Dragon Crown Prince still had a breath of life left, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”Commander of the Jinyiwei, what is the purpose of this visit?”

Duke Situ stroked his goat beard.

His old eyes were arrogant.

The three characters for Embroidered Uniform Guard were spat out with great mockery!

Even the powerful Divine Martial Division and the Apprehension Gate, those two transcendent organizations, had to give this Duke Situ some face!

A mere small guard station established less than four months ago—what right and what audacity did they have to be so arrogant and presumptuous in front of his Duke Situ residence!?

”Has Duke forgotten my status?”

Cao Yang smiled.

Duke Situ’s old eyes were mocking.

As if he had only just recognized Cao Yang: ”Oh my, so it is actually the Prince of Anbei standing before me. Please forgive this old man’s poor eyesight!”

”Very good—”

”It seems Duke is not yet senile?”

”Then why do you not pay respects when seeing this Prince!”

Cao Yang’s voice suddenly turned cold.

His bearing was naturally imposing!

Duke Situ’s face looked ugly.

But within this Imperial City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he dared not openly defy the laws and etiquette of Great Zhou.

He had no choice but to, very reluctantly, bow to Cao Yang: ”This old man, Situ, greets the Prince of Anbei!”

Then he straightened up, his expression unpleasant: ”May I ask why Your Highness has come here?”

”To kill you!”

Cao Yang didn’t waste time.

He smiled coldly.

”Presumptuous!”

Duke Situ was enraged.

This Cao Yang was truly arrogant!

”As the Duke of Great Zhou and one of the three ducal ministers, Prince Cao wants to kill This Duke?”

”Heh—”

”I’m afraid that won’t hold up!”

”The imperial court will not agree!”

”The officials will not agree!”

”The world will not agree!”

He flicked his sleeves.

Duke Situ wore a stern expression.

Seeing him still putting on an act at this time, Cao Yang was almost amused to the point of anger.

He angrily said: ”The Black Dragon Crown Prince wreaked havoc on both sides of the Great River, relying on his identity as your adopted son, Duke Situ, with no scruples, devouring tens of thousands of commoners...”

”Duke Situ—”

”How do you explain this!?”

As his voice fell, he raised his hand and released a projection stone!

Activating his true essence, a huge mirror-like surface projected out, appearing above the Duke Situ residence.

The images flashed by one by one:

’The commoners in the fishing villages on both sides of the Great River, with barely one in ten surviving!’

’The arrogance of the Black Dragon Crown Prince wreaking havoc, relying on his status!’

’The hypocritical, beast-in-human-clothing appearance of the Duke Situ residence steward after arriving!’

’...’

Seeing these images flash by, Duke Situ’s face turned livid.

The crowd of commoners gathering around was extremely furious!

What a painstaking effort!

What peace and righteousness for the world!

If this Duke Situ truly had such a heart?
