Chapter 1220: The rumors are false

Zhuo Chengzhi was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Prince An to say that.

He suddenly turned his head and glared at Master Wu: "Why is Master Wu so sure that the rumors are false?"

Master Wu took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Master Zhuo must have forgotten that this official just came back from overseas a few months ago. Miss Bai was brought back by this official. Miss Bai was working as a doctor overseas, saving lives and treating the wounded. She was loved by the common people. She relied on her medical skills to support herself and her maidservant until this official came to the United Kingdom. They just returned to the Chu State with this official. If you don't believe me, you can question the sailors and crew who went with me. Out of hundreds of crew members, if one of them speaks the same thing as the rumors say, then I will accept this guilt."

This Master Wu was very smart!

Chu Yan was very satisfied with Master Wu's performance and considered promoting him.

Zhuo Chengzhi snorted coldly: "They are your subordinates, of course, you will not talk freely. A young lady spent several months on a boat with hundreds of men. With this thing alone, she is not qualified to be the Empress."

Zhuo Chengzhi blurted out these words and then regretted it after he finished speaking. But how can you take back what you said?

Chu Yan's face became extremely cold, and said in a deep voice: "So if I want to establish an Empress, whoever is qualified and who is not, I have to listen to Master Zhuo?"

Zhuo Chengzhi felt a chill down his back. He had his back facing the emperor because he was confronting Master Wu. At this moment, his back felt chilly, as if a pair of cold eyes were staring at him.

He turned around abruptly and saw those eyes, those sharp eye knives cutting him one by one.

Wasn't the Emperor blind? How can a blind person stare at him?

Zhuo Chengzhi stared at Chu Yan stupidly, forgetting to avoid it.

Eunuch Fu shrieked, "Bold!"

Only then did Zhuo Chengzhi wake up, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, feeling cold in his heart.

It was only now that he started to be afraid. The indiscriminate words just now, and the jumping up and down in the hall just now was all in the eyes of the emperor.

Who said the emperor was blind? Who the hell said it?

Chu Yan stared at him while kowtowing. He wanted to pull him up and beat him. After a while of silence, he finally said: "I have read Master Zhuo's scripture. Master Zhuo cares about the safety of people in Cangzhou. I am very moved, so I will fulfill your wish today. Master Zhuo will go to Cangzhou tomorrow. It just happened that the magistrate of Cangzhou ended his term, you can take over his position."

Zhuo Chengzhi was almost paralyzed by fright. He was the Marquis of Weiyuan and also a first-rank military general, but now he wanted him to go to Cangzhou to be a small official. This was not just hitting him in the face, but this is tearing his face!

"Your Majesty, please take it back!" Zhuo Chengzhi kowtowed heavily.

Chu Yan's cold gaze swept over his figure, and said in a low voice, "It seems that Master Zhuo wants to resist the decree."

Zhuo Chengzhi was even more frightened, and the word "resisting decree" rang in his ears, and he was like a wilted rooster, unable to thump anymore.

Resisting the decree was a capital crime of beheading. He dare not implicate his family.

The majestic Marquis of Weiyuan was just demoted to become a seventh-rank sesame official. What's the use of bearing the name of Marquis of Weiyuan?

At this moment, no one dared to intercede for Zhuo Chengzhi. Even Prince An quietly retreated to where he was supposed to stand. His complexion was as dark as water, and he was very angry.

What on earth happened? Didn't they say he was poisoned by that Hanfengsan? Even if he didn't die, he would become blind, so when there was a letter that Chu Yan became blind, he firmly believed it.
