I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 591

Chapter 591: Chapter 227: The Protective Empress Baby! Chen Mo’s Major Investigation!_2

"The two are just waiting outside, Your Highness can inquire and know!"

The expressions of the officials grew increasingly grave.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice, Ministry of Rites, and Jingzhao Mansion launched successive attacks, clearly prepared, aiming to firmly establish this matter.

Now that both witnesses and evidence are present, no matter what they might say, it won’t change anything...

This time, Chen Mo is truly doomed!

Yet Chen Zhuo remained silent, expressionless, as if unconcerned with the matter.

The Empress nodded and said: "It seems several ministers are quite prepared, then let them come in."

Eunuch Jin announced loudly: "Summon Fengluan Yang Lin from the Imperial Music Bureau and Vice Envoy Yu Yu from the East City Military Department to enter the palace for an audience!"

About half a quarter-hour later.

Accompanied by guards, two figures walked into the Golden Throne Hall and arrived at the center of the hall.

"Your lowly servant Yu Yu, your lowly servant Yang Lin, pay respects to Her Majesty the Empress."

"Long live Your Highness, long live, long live!"

The two knelt and kowtowed.

The Empress said: "Rise."

"Thank you, Your Highness." The two replied as they stood up, with the short and stout Yang Lin lowering his head, face pale, while Yu Yu appeared relatively composed, though his hands under his robe trembled slightly.

After all, they were mere minor officials, rarely having the chance to come to this Golden Throne Hall to meet the Holy Empress.

This is the power center of the Great Yuan, with ministers present that seemed like unattainable mountains to them!

"You should know why I have called you into the palace." The Empress’s voice was clear with a hint of languid charm, "Speak, about what you saw regarding the incident at the Imperial Music Bureau the day before yesterday."

Yu Yu took a deep breath and spoke: "Reporting to Your Highness, when I received the news, I immediately led people to the scene while on duty at the government office, but the fighting had already ended. I only saw Heir Chu lying scorched on the ground, and Deputy Households Commander Chen of the Sky Scale Guard standing by..."

Cui Hao asked: "Then, given the severity of the situation, why didn’t you arrest the suspect and take him to the prison?"

Yu Yu’s throat moved, and he replied softly: "At the time, there were officials from the Six Gates present, claiming they had taken over the case, and Chen Mo had a Death Exemption Token, so I didn’t dare to act rashly..."

But the real reason was because of Eunuch Jin.

However, he dared not mention it, opting to divert the focus instead...

Cui Hao continued questioning: "Besides this, did you notice any other details?"

Yu Yu glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I heard Chen Mo say...that since the situation was already beyond repair, there was no point in stopping, or else using the Flying Phoenix Order would have been too wasteful..."

At these words, the entire court was in uproar!

"Arrogant! Absolutely arrogant!"

"This is defying the royal law, acting lawlessly, relying on a Death Exemption Token to commit such wanton recklessness!"

"This is not only trampling on Da Yuan Law but also contempt for the Imperial Family, which must be severely punished to set an example!"

Ministers of the Six Ministries all jumped to speak.
