Now that all of the ministers were present, she wanted to use Luo Qinglun's words to personally accuse Prime Minister Luo of conspiracy to incite the Devil Palace to commit murder in the imperial harem. The ministers present, even if they were not severely injured, would inevitably suffer light injuries, or their wives or children were harmed, they would definitely hate the person who brought them into the Devil Palace, no matter how much power and authority Prime Minister Luo wielded, he would not be able to defeat the wrath of all the ministers.

As expected, as soon as Luo Qinglun finished speaking, all of the ministers present turned their gazes in the direction of Prime Minister Luo with faces full of suspicion.

Prime Minister Luo stood on the spot. His body trembled, but he forced himself to remain calm. On his aged face, aside from a hint of paleness, there was no sign of a guilty plea.

"You unfilial son, what nonsense are you spouting!" Prime Minister Luo waved his hand and his hand descended. With two 'pa pa' sounds, a red palm print landed on Luo Qinglun's delicate face.

"Father!" When he talked about Prime Minister Luo, he had loved his own son the most since he was young, which was why when Luo Qinglun was eighteen years old, he gave birth to a character that did not care about the consequences when he did things. Luo Qinglun did not expect that in the great hall, his father would not only be thinking of a way to save him, but would even injure him.

"Unfilial son!" Prime Minister Luo's expression finally revealed some anger as he shouted in a low voice.

Qiao Qiao could still see that if it wasn't for the fact that the throne room forbade carrying sharp weapons, Prime Minister Luo would have had to chop off this brainless son of his. However, in Prime Minister Luo's eyes, his own son was comparable to the Luo Family's reputation, so he would naturally choose to abandon his son to protect himself.

"Your majesty, this matter is no small matter. The Demon Palace infiltrated the imperial palace, causing countless officials of the previous dynasty to die. I hope that Your Majesty can grant justice to them." Vice Minister Liu naturally saw the seriousness of the situation, and immediately cupped his hands in salute. In his eyes, there was no division of power, no power, only the safety and discipline of Qiao Guo. Because of this, Qiao Qiao was still much more patient with Vice Minister Liu.

"That's right, your majesty. My son was killed in the palace banquet yesterday and is still unconscious. I ask that Your Majesty give this old subject justice." Qin Shang Shu's face was sour, and he immediately clasped his hands.

Qiao Qiao still frowned slightly. The legitimate son of Minister Qin was the one who played the flute in the palace banquet. She had just conferred the position of Doctor of Music, so even though she had no actual authority, she still held the position of an official.

"Your majesty, this subject's mother went to the palace banquet yesterday and died within a day. This old subject has a guilty conscience, please make the decision, your majesty." The Duke of Qin walked up to Qiao Qiao with an aged face, still bowing to him.

She knew that even if Prime Minister Luo did not admit it, the fact that Luo Qinglun had lost his composure in front of the crowd made it clear that this matter was related to him. All of the ministers present, who were injured or injured in the family, would naturally not let the culprit go.

Your majesty, this old subject knows that this is no trivial matter, but your majesty can't just because of that woman's words. Your old subject is the founding elder of the Qiao nation, and is naturally loyal to the country, so why do you have such thoughts about treason, your majesty! Prime Minister Luo plopped down on his knees as he spoke powerfully. The facts were already laid out in front of him, but he was still so calm. This caused Qiao Qiao to feel admiration from the bottom of his heart.

"Of course I won't incriminate the Prime Minister just because of a single sentence." Qiao Qiao's face was still indifferent, causing others to be unable to figure out what exactly she meant.

"Your Majesty, this servant's words are true. Even if this servant were to die, I wouldn't dare to lie to Your Majesty." Cui Er was anxious and kowtowed to Qiao Qiao three times.

"Shut up!" Prime Minister Luo's face was filled with rage. She originally resented the fact that she was on good terms with her son, but now she dared to betray her son and the Luo family. This kind of woman deserved to die.

Thinking this, he immediately got up. Taking advantage of everyone's surprise, he pulled out the sword from the guard by his waist and rushed towards Cui Er.

"Stop!" Qiao Qiao's cold voice rang out, but his voice was not as fast as the sword in Prime Minister Luo's hand. Cui Er hurriedly dodged, but in the end, she was unable to dodge the sword that wanted to kill her.

"Pu ~" Fresh blood spurted out from her neck, Cui Er's eyes widened, and her body fell backwards.

Qiao Qiao's mouth was still open as he leaned his arm forward. However, he was still unable to stop Prime Minister Luo's actions.

Prime Minister Luo's angry face did not have a single trace of change as he slammed his long sword onto the ground. He then turned around and knelt before Qiao Qiao as he said softly, "This demoness spoke insolently with the intention of disturbing the monarch's heart. This old subject has acted on his own accord and executed the demoness for His Majesty.

Heh … Prime Minister Luo's every word was indeed pleasant to hear. He had wounded a witness with a sword in his hand in the hall, but was able to publicly say that this was done in the service of the Qiao nation. Even if he was guilty of killing a demoness, he would still not die.

"Cui Er! "Cui Er …" His hands and feet were weak as he prostrated himself on the ground. His gaze was fixated on Cui Er, who had died miserably in a pool of blood. It would be a lie to say that he had not been close with her for many years, but he did not understand why Cui Er would betray him.

"Unfilial son, don't talk nonsense!" Although Prime Minister Luo knelt on the ground and forcefully suppressed the rage in his heart, if it wasn't for the fact that Luo Qinglun was his own son, he would have been the only one that died in a pool of blood.

Qiao Qiao was still silent as she quietly observed the reactions of the people within the hall. Perhaps she was just stalling for time and waiting for a greater surprise.

"Your majesty, this child has committed a crime that cannot be pardoned. However, considering the loyalty of my Luo family to the nation of Qiao, I hope that your majesty can hand this unfilial son over to this old official to punish, this old subject will definitely not do anything for personal gains, I hope your majesty can be at ease." Prime Minister Luo clasped his hands and bowed.

Qiao once again sneered. Did this old fox really think that she had no way to punish him? Not only did she behave atrociously in the main hall, but she also had to try to save Luo Qinglun. She really thought of her as a useless, sick cat.

Vice Minister Liu looked nervously at Qiao Qiao, capturing the slightest hint of emotion on her face. At this moment, he was not suitable for her to speak, but if the Emperor had the slightest bit of soft-heartedness or heart, he would certainly risk his life to meet her!

"Hmph." Qiao Qiao let out a cold snort as she saw a silhouette flash past her and her scrunched eyebrows relaxed for a moment. She slowly got up, afraid that the time was ripe, and lightly shouted: "Prime Minister Luo, you have plead guilty!"

"This old official doesn't know what the emperor is going to say." Cui Er was already dead, and Prime Minister Luo refused to acknowledge her even if she died.

"Alright, I hope you will remember the words just now." Qiao once again sneered and shouted, "Bring Luo Qingqing."

Qingqing … He had already lost his son, so he could no longer bear the pain of losing his daughter. Now that Qing Qing had fallen into Qiao's hands, in order to force him to submit, his Luo Mansion would be heavily guarded, and there would be many guards from the Demon Palace. Just how did Qiao manage to break into the Luo Mansion to capture her!

However, Prime Minister Luo was unaware that at the palace banquet yesterday, he thought that the Demon Lord had done it without a mistake and brought Luo Qingqing out of the palace, and as he waited for the emperor to pass away, he did not have the fortune to personally witness the situation where the emperor met the Demon Lord. Today, he had thought that Qiao Gang had simply escaped by chance, but the State of Qiao was no longer the same as it was before.

He clenched his fists tightly as he watched his daughter walk into the hall with a dull expression on her face.

"Qingqing!" He called out anxiously, but Luo Qingqing didn't seem to be able to hear him as she continued to walk up the hall.

"Luo Qingqing." Joe said softly.

"This subject's daughter is here." Luo Qingqing replied slowly.

"Qingqing, what happened to you?" Prime Minister Luo realized that something was wrong with Luo Qing. Her daughter was lively and cheerful, so even if she was frightened, she wouldn't act so calm. Her eyes seemed to glaze over, as if she had received some kind of mental power and would only give a short answer.

Qiao Qiao's cold lips were still slightly curled. She silently looked at the unfocused Luo Qingqing and softly asked, "I ask you, did you know that the Demon Palace attacked the palace yesterday?"

"This subject knows." "Father secretly joined forces with the Demon Palace to replace the Emperor. This subject's daughter will become a princess in the future, and will stand above everyone else. This way, this subject's daughter would be able to stay together with the Regent …"

Without waiting for Luo Qing to finish speaking, Prime Minister Luo could not help but shout at Qiao Qiao, "Qiao once again, just what have you done to Qingqing!" His mouth seemed to be filled with rage and his expression was one of panic. He rushed in front of Luo Qingqing and used all his strength to grab onto Luo Qing's shoulder, shaking her non-stop.

"Prime Minister, your beloved daughter is a Spirit Stealing Grass, you should be familiar with this sort of thing, right?" Qiao Qiao nodded with a light smile, his face full of complacency.

He naturally knew that this was the Demonic Palace Sacred Grass, and after consuming it for six hours, she would act like a zombie. Whatever the poisoner asked, she would answer, and once the six hours had passed, the effects of the herb would be the same as usual, except that she did not remember what she had done in the past six hours, but in the past six hours, there was nothing she could do about it.

"Men, capture this traitor who colluded with the Demon Palace to usurp power!" Qiao once again shouted loudly. Meng Shi took the lead at the door as many Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately surged out, surrounding Prime Minister Luo and Luo Qing Qing.

"I want to see who dares!" Prime Minister Luo took out a gold medallion from his sleeve and showed it to everyone. He knew he had no way of escaping, so he might as well risk his life.

Qiao Qiao continued to look over. The one Prime Minister Luo held in his hand was the Gold Medallion for Exemption from Death bestowed by the late Emperor. Qiao Qiao's lips were still curled into a cold smile.
