Only her death can wash away the humiliation on her body.
What she fears is that her father will be soft-hearted.
Li Sang's eyes were cold. "There's nothing to consider. You are the most important person to me. She is just a chess piece that I sent you to ascend to the throne. If this chess piece loses its function, it may even block your way, so of course it must be removed."
Hearing this, Huang Ying felt extremely comfortable.
"Father has decided."
What she was worried about was that he would be reluctant to let go. After all, Imperial Uncle was very affectionate towards her and would always try his best to help her fulfill her request.
"Father, there is one more thing."
"I don't know what happened, but the news about the increase in taxes that I ordered in the court spread. Now the common people know about it. This matter is detrimental to my reputation and prestige, especially at this time when I am just handling government affairs."
Thinking of Imperial Uncle who had gone against her promise in court and strongly opposed her, Huang Ying had to doubt her.
Li Sang's eyes were always on the court, but he rarely paid attention to things outside.
"Do you suspect she did this too?"
"You brought up the tax issue in front of all the civil and military officials. Could it be that they spread it unknowingly?"
These officials will not go out to talk about it, but they may say a few words in front of their relatives. In this way, it will spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and the matter will spread.
Huang Ying shook his head.
She always had a hunch that the person behind this was Imperial Uncle.
"I think someone is fanning the flames behind this, otherwise the news wouldn't spread so fast."
Now people outside are secretly spreading rumors that she doesn't care about the lives and deaths of the people, doesn't care about the people, doesn't understand the hardships of the people's lives, and only exploits them.
On the contrary, ordinary people praised Imperial Uncle.
It is said that she is both civil and military, dedicated to the people, and protecting her family and country. She is worthy of being the most powerful war god in Huang Ming.
In short, it almost blows people up to the sky.
"Master..."
At this moment, Li Sang's personal beauty Little Xuan hurried in.
Seeing Huang Ying, he quickly closed his mouth and bowed respectfully.
Li Sang waved his hand, indicating for him to speak directly.
"Master, I have already checked. Those officials who came in as substitutes are inextricably related to Prime Minister Shang."
Huang Ying stood up with a serious look on his face. "Are you sure?"
Little Xuan glanced at his master and saw that he had no objection, then nodded and said, "I have confirmed it again and again and the information is correct."
Li Sang looked at his daughter. "It seems that you are going to call Shang Quan, the old fox, to come over and ask."
"I'm going now."
Huang Ying doesn't believe that the person he personally selected will betray him.
This involves not only interests, but also her relationship with Shang Shuheng and their future.
She couldn't help but be anxious.
Seeing her leaving in a hurry, Li Sang thought for a while, waved to Little Xuan, and gave him a few instructions to check on Shang Shuheng.
*
Your Majesty called urgently, and Shang Quan, who had a premonition that something was wrong, hurriedly entered the palace.
After hearing Your Majesty's accusation, her heart skipped a beat and she immediately knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged! Even if you gave me a hundred courages, I would not dare to do such a thing!"
"These people were all installed by your hands. If not you, who else could they be?"
Huang Ying didn't want to believe it at first, but the fact was right in front of her, and she had to believe it.
"It must be Prince Rui."
Shang Quan has been thinking about this matter for the past two days, and the first person to suspect is Prince Rui.
