When all the officials saw the visitors, they stood up and bowed, shouting loudly: "Greetings to His Highness, Princess."

After everyone bowed, the eldest princess waved her sleeves and waved her sleeves, as if she had returned the greeting, "Everyone is an old minister of this dynasty, there is no need to be restrained, take a seat."

After everyone sat together, the top princess suddenly spoke and asked, "Has the second emperor sister not come back yet?"

The female official around her was sweating coldly. The second princess had already returned to the capital two days ago. The invitations and dedicated people for the banquet were sent out as soon as possible.

Now the second princess and the Zuo family are deliberately absent from the banquet, which is obviously dissatisfied with the eldest princess' inheritance of the throne.

Of course, she wouldn't be stupid enough to say these words.

"The Second Highness only said that he would definitely come, but he never told me the time."

The eldest princess is very thoughtful and has already learned about the matter after hearing this.

She took a sip of the hot tea on the table quietly, and after taking a look at the empty seat reserved for the second princess, she whispered: "I understand."

Then, she looked around the audience with her beautiful eyes, and a crisp and beautiful guttural sound echoed in the Golden Palace.

"Everyone, Hu Qi entered the city two days ago. Who will explain the damage in Luoyang City?"

After a while, the Ministry of Works and Ministry of Revenue, two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, walked out of the group and saluted the eldest princess and said, "My Shangshu and I have counted the damage in the city in the past two days. We found that the Hu cavalry had burned, killed and looted after breaking into the capital, and did everything he could do..."

"Just just say the specific numbers."

Originally, the Minister of Revenue, who was speaking, was about to belittle Hu Qi in the northwest. When he heard the eldest princess let her get into the topic, he had to cough lightly and said embarrassedly: "After they entered the capital, they came straight to the palace. The palace maids and eunuchs who were on duty that night died in the palace, and there were more than 300 soldiers who died in the palace tower in the southeast, west and northwest. As for the damage in the city..."

The Minister of Works on the side hurriedly added: "Before leaving, the other party not only set fire to Lishui Pavilion, but also lit many buildings in the palace and Luoyang city... According to statistics, there are about 3,000 damaged and burned houses."

Three thousand towers?

Liu Ruohuan was stunned. The ordinary Han and Tang counties had only two or three thousand households, and the behavior of Hu Qi was almost equivalent to destroying a city.

Even if Luoyang City is the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties, I am afraid that this time it will be seriously damaged... Such a big fire will take a lot of effort just to extinguish it.

"A few days ago, my mother was killed by evil men from the White Lotus Sect, and the Hu Qi happened to invade the capital in such a gap. It can be said that at that time, our Han and Tang dynasties were only one step away from being destroyed."

Hearing the eldest princess’ declaration, all the ministers in the court agreed.

"Therefore, I, Han and Tang dynasties, and the Xiongnu White Lotus... are irreconcilable!"

Most of the officials in the audience were witnesses of the Lishui Pavilion incident at that time. Thanks to this, many officials in the court suffered flesh and blood.

After all, everyone jumped down from Erzenglou at that time, and there were many high-ranking officials who broke their bones.

Now when I heard the eldest princess’ speech, everyone was so angry that many people stood up from the chair to express their indignation.

Liu Ruohuan was alone in the corner with an abnormal expression on her face. If these officials knew that the princesses were letting Hu Qi into the city and the White Lotus Sect killed the queen, I'm afraid these ministers would go crazy?

"The Second Highness is here!"

Suddenly, a notice outside the door poured a basin of cold water into the Golden Palace.

After a moment, a woman in a golden imperial robe walked into the golden hall with a vermilion-like military man.

This was the first time Liu Ruohuan saw the second princess. The other party's skin was darkened by the sun, and the lights were covered with a honey luster, which looked very beautiful.

Her nose is straight and her facial features are handsome. Although she looks not as good as her sister, she has to say that she is also a complete beauty.

The military man behind her attracted Liu Ruohuan's gaze. Although she was only wearing a military officer-like uniform, her graceful figure and the huge rabbit on her chest could not be concealed by her clothes.

What's even more exaggerated is that she obviously looks like a general, but her skin tone is incompatible with the Second Highness and Zuo Miaoling before.

It was a kind of white and spotless skin color comparable to Gu Qingyao and Luo Suxin.

When the eldest princess above saw the two appear, she showed a signature smile and chuckled softly: "Second Emperor Sister? General Zuo?"

But the second prince ignored her questions at all, and directly walked to the middle with the military officer behind him, and asked calmly: "Sister, I didn't tell you, why do you have the face to sit on the throne?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they shocked all officials in the court and the country.

Although most people had long expected that the second princess would be dissatisfied with the eldest princess' inheritance of the throne, they did not expect that the second prince would be so merciless and directly named her name.

The Minister of Revenue, who had reported the damage in the city, turned his head and frowned and said, "Second Your Highness! Please pay attention to your words! In front of you, the eldest princess of the East Palace. According to the etiquette of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the East Palace should also inherit the throne."

"Hahaha? East Palace? Princess?"

The second princess pulled out the etiquette sword from her waist, and with a blink of an eye, scaring a circle of people around her.

Seeing this scene, the major families not far away no longer remained silent. The Qiao Bailuo family led by Qiao Xiang stood up one after another and stood in front of the second princess.

Qiao Xiang whispered: "Second Your Highness, take back the sword given to you by the Emperor. Drawing the sword on this occasion is equivalent to rebelling and forcing the palace."

"Rebel? Force the palace?" The second prince sneered for a moment and pointed the tip of the sword at the eldest princess, "Isn't this the one who did this? Is Qiao Xiang blind? Who is the one who usurped the throne and seized power in this court?"

This made Qiao Xiang's face turn red, but the eldest princess in the distance was as if nothing had happened and asked back: "The emperor insisted that I killed my mother and rebelled. I think it was because I had the evidence of my rebellion?"

The eldest princess's words were just a pun, and in the eyes of those who didn't know the inside story, it was equivalent to asking the second princess to provide evidence.

But Liu Ruohuan, who knew something was wrong, knew that the two princesses should have made their own judgment, so they insisted on this matter that it was her own princess who did it.

"The night before the Jiangnan float paraded, the army of the generals and many generals in Luoyang City were transferred out of the capital and went to Hangu Pass to eliminate the thieves... I would like to ask you all, is there such a coincidence in this world? As soon as my army left, Hu cavalry broke into Luoyang City, burned, killed and looted?"

This statement aroused deep thoughts from many officials. Indeed, the timing of Hu Qi's appearance was too coincidental.
