The commoners are still uneasy and asked, "Will The Emperor burn those who are possessed by the demon?"
Although the people fear death, watching so many people being burned alive is heart-wrenching.
The Emperor bowed his head in thought, remaining silent.
The palace maids and eunuchs nearby also dared not disturb The Emperor.
The commoners all looked at The Emperor with eager eyes, waiting for his answer.
Long Rui, seeing the situation, coughed a few tis and asked, "Cough cough...! Your Majesty, everyone is waiting for your answer!"
The Emperor gave Long Rui a glance, thinking, you ddleso fellow. However, the people’s concerns are urgent and must be addressed. He frowned and said, "This situation is extraordinary. Even if we don’t kill those people, they must be confined and not allowed to roam freely. Once their illness is cured, they can be released."
Those possessed by the demon have lost their reason, attacking and biting anyone they see. If injured by them, the demonic possession can spread. If they’re not killed, they must be confined, or else consequences will be dire.
The Emperor, considering the stability of his kingdom and dynasty, dare not be careless. Had it not been for the fear of angering the people, according to The Emperor’s inclination, it would be best to kill them all to eliminate future troubles.
But now, with public sentint intensified and the War Prince supporting the people, The Emperor dared not act rashly.
"The Emperor indeed is a wise ruler; this strategy is currently the most appropriate. Let’s proceed like this; it preserves those possessed while controlling the spread of demonic possession."
Being praised in front of so many people, The Emperor’s mood instantly beca extrely pleasant, and he looked at Xuexue with satisfaction, thinking, Miss Situ can handle matters well, unlike Long Rui who is so annoying and constantly embarrasses him.
The expression on The Emperor’s face gradually softened and he said, "Miss Situ, why have you co here?"
Xuexue smiled and said, "The Prince has been unable to eat and sleep due to the demon-killing and possessed people’s affairs. Last night, he slept very late. This subject is concerned for the Prince’s health, so I ca along."
Upon hearing this, The Emperor’s face darkened again, thinking, that damned Long Rui, despite being so ugly, how does he still have won devotedly following him?
Xuexue stepped forward to The Emperor, offering a salute, saying, "Your Majesty, this subject has a request."
The Emperor still harbored a glimr of hope to win over Xuexue, after all, the military power of Great General Situ is very tempting.
Therefore, he raised a slight smile, "Whatever it is, Miss Situ, feel free to say."
Xuexue gestured to a middle-aged man lying on the ground, breathless and said, "Your Majesty, before you ca out, this uncle was slashed by the Imperial Guards. If it wasn’t for the Prince and this subject who tily stopped the bleeding, he might have already died."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?" This matter The Emperor indeed did not know.
The leader of the Imperial Guards hurried forward to kneel and report to The Emperor, "Your Majesty, earlier the situation was urgent, the commoners surged like a tide wanting to rush into the Imperial Palace. What this subject did was out of necessity; please punish this subject."
Indeed, those who rashly intrude into the Imperial Palace face the capital cri of beheading, now having only been slashed, the middle-aged man could be considered lucky to have escaped with his life.
The Emperor also felt the Imperial Guards did not err, for the Imperial Palace is a majestic and sacred place. If everyone can rush in, that would be disastrous.
The Emperor pondered for a mont, saying gently, "Miss Situ, they acted as per their duty, how do you see this...!"
Xuexue’s beautiful eyes tightly gazed at The Emperor, saying, "Your Majesty’s aning, hurting the commoners is justified."
The Emperor indeed felt they deserved to die for rashly intruding into the Imperial Palace.
However, there were thousands of commoners present, and under everyone’s eyes, he could not openly state things clearly, for it would harm the people’s sentints.
After thinking, The Emperor said, "That is not my aning, Miss Situ. Do you see this as acceptable: I will have the Imperial Physician tend to him, give so Silver, and send soone to escort him ho to recuperate."
