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.
