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

330: Section 330Within the Imperial City, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, even those two could not ignore the rites and laws!

”This old one, the Grand Commandant, greets the Prince of Anbei!”

”This old one, the Sikong, greets the Prince of Anbei...!”

The two performed a perfunctory salute, flicked their sleeves, and left in a huff!

Watching their cowardly backs as they retreated, Cao Yang felt quite regretful.

He had been waiting for the two to fly into a rage and attack, so he could conveniently absorb the Luck from the grand marshals seal and the sikongs official seal in their hands!

The result—was this it?

What a pair of cowards...!

In reality, the Grand Commandant and the Sikong were indeed intimidated.

They could not summon the sword of the three ducal ministers to protect the path of clarity and justice.

Furthermore, for some unknown reason, Duke Situ’s situ seal had suddenly lost its effectiveness just now, allowing a mere Embroidered Uniform Guard to behead him.

This caught the two of them off guard!

By the time they arrived to save the situation, it was already too late.

Right now, with one of the three ducal ministers gone, they had to be even more cautious.

They couldn’t help but wonder!

Could the Empress have found some method to suppress the three ducal ministers’ seals in their hands?

No!

They had to find out for sure!

If that were truly the case, they would have to keep their tails between their legs from now on.

Without the grand marshals seal and the sikongs official seal, their own cultivation levels were not high.

Only the Grand Commandant, who came from a military background, was stronger, possessing the cultivation of the Martial King Realm.

But in front of the Empress, it was simply not enough...!

As the Grand Commandant and the Sikong retreated in a sorry state, everyone was once again incredibly shocked!

Prince Cao is truly brave!

Not only does he dare to ignore the three ducal ministers who hold the highest positions of power, but he even dares to confront the sword of the three ducal ministers left behind by the late Emperor Taizong head-on!

He is just too awesome!

I’m impressed!

Especially the various experts from the Divine Martial Division and the Apprehension Gate; their blood was boiling!

He is truly—the model for those of them in the powerful government institutions!

Enough said!

I’m jumping ship immediately to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard...!

Before long, the news that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had beheaded Duke Situ in the street spread throughout the entire capital!

The commotion just now was simply too great.

The commoners, aristocratic families, and court officials in the capital were neither blind nor deaf; they had long been watching from the shadows!

Seeing that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had actually beheaded Duke Situ, everyone was stunned for a moment!

The whole city was shocked!

Killing the Duke Situ of Great Zhou in the street, this Cao Yang—is truly daring and reckless...!

Some commoners rejoiced!

But some officials were terrified!

If the Embroidered Uniform Guard dares to execute even Duke Situ first and report later, why would they ever take them, these so-called high-ranking court officials, seriously?

Many of the high-ranking officials of the Six Ministries who had previously pledged allegiance to the Empress for the sake of wealth and glory, and who had supported Cao Yang’s ennoblement in the court, could not help but feel regret.

This Cao Yang is too arrogant!

The power of the Embroidered Uniform Guard must absolutely not be allowed to run this wild...!

”We seek justice for Duke Situ!”

”We beg Your Majesty to issue an edict!”

”Execute the Treacherous Official Cao Yang!”

”Restore the clarity and integrity of the court!”

Many officials rushed into the palace, not even bothering to write memorials!

They all knelt before the Golden Throne Hall, intending to use their official uniforms to demand ’justice’ for Duke Situ, forcing the Empress’s hand to execute Cao Yang!

In the Imperial Palace, inside the Imperial Study, the dragon desk that had originally been smashed to pieces had already been replaced with a new one.

The Empress, dressed in her Mysterious Black Dragon Robe, rose from behind the dragon desk and stood at the entrance of the Imperial Study with her hands behind her back.

Her pair of cold, beautiful eyes looked toward the direction of the Duke Situ’s residence and also toward the Golden Throne Hall.

She was slightly moved, a flicker of strange emotion flashing in her eyes.

Cao Yang actually killed Duke Situ?
