Chapter 103: I Can't Hurt Her

Regarding the matter of Lihou, to Zhou Ming's surprise, he did not say anything, and the ministers and nobles collectively pointed the finger at King Elsa.

said that the queen can choose anyone, but she can't choose Elsa.

Why?

"Why can't I choose Elsa, please tell me why?" Zhou Ming asked, he wanted to know the answer to this question.

Immediately, several ministers, gritting their teeth, gave their explanations:

"Your Majesty, you haven't taken a concubine until now, and it is completely this vicious woman who has caused her to take care of her more than a dozen actions! The dozen or so return actions she has carried out have forcibly dragged countless women who love Your Majesty deeply away from Your Majesty, causing many human tragedies? How many women have become ill and unfortunately died early because they miss Your Majesty? Your Majesty, this woman's crime is extremely heinous, and her crime deserves death!"

"Yes, if there is no such woman as a hindrance and charm Your Majesty, your Majesty would have set up a queen and accepted several imperial concubines eight years ago, and this woman is deliberately delaying time, in a vain attempt to achieve an ulterior purpose, so as to occupy Your Majesty alone!

"Your Majesty, the Lucis family should have been wiped out a long time ago! But this woman, taking advantage of Your Majesty's kindness, kept her family from saying, and did everything possible to come to the imperial capital to prevent Your Majesty from taking a concubine, and deliberately tempted Your Majesty to obey her words...... Elsa!"

The minister pointed at Elsa angrily and said, "If I had known that this would be the case today, I should have sent assassins to kill you on the way to the imperial capital!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister can't bear it anymore, Elsa, this slut, please kill your majesty immediately!

"Yes, Your Majesty, today is either Elsa dies or we die!" more ministers chimed in.

The ministers and nobles who hated Elsa to the core, not only did not want her to become queen, but also asked her to be killed.

In the past few years, the ministers have shouted at least hundreds of times, and Zhou Ming has long been surprised, but today is particularly intense.

And these voices of shouting and killing, Elsa, who was standing in the front row, didn't care much, but it was the voices that opposed her as the queen that made her face crimson, difficult to dissipate, and had a unique charm.

"Enough!"

"Stop being vexatious, shut up for me!"

Zhou Ming roared and stopped the voices of the ministers.

He said with an ugly face: "How many times have I told you that Elsa did those things that I told her to do, and she just did what I wanted, why are you jumping on your feet like this?

"Your Majesty, we don't mean that, the Lucis family behind Prince Elsa, who has repeatedly betrayed the empire first, after returning to the imperial capital, does not do business, violates human ethics, and prevents His Majesty from getting married every day, Prince Elsa has no thoughts in his heart, and the minister doesn't believe it! This woman, the reason why she works so the surface she obeys His Majesty's words, but in fact, she secretly has scheming and is eyeing the position of the queen!"

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because the ministers have seen through the mind of King Elsa that they are trying their best to stop it! This huge empire must not allow this woman to sit in the position next to Your Majesty, otherwise there will be endless disasters, and hundreds of millions of people will all suffer and fall into fire and water!"

Prime Minister Zangewell tried his best to advise.

The other ministers quickly chimed in: "Your Majesty, Elsa, this demon woman, should not be killed!"

Hearing the ministers' reasons, Zhou Ming pondered for a while.

Then his heart moved, and he asked Elsa below: "Lord Elsa, what the Prime Minister said is true? You really have the intention of being a queen, so you work so hard for me?"

Hear this question.

Elsa's face turned pale, and she quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this is a false accusation by the ministers, the ministers have no such thoughts, the ministers swear, they have never had the slightest illusion!"

"But you are already over 30 years old, you have not yet married, and I have urged you several times, why don't you get married?" Zhou Ming asked again.

Seeing that Zhou Ming's spearhead seemed to be pointed at Elsa, His Royal Highness's ministers were immediately ecstatic, and some even helped Elsa answer.

"Your Majesty, Elsa has not married yet, just because she has illusions and is still waiting, trying to occupy Your Majesty!" said the minister.

"Elsa, is what he said true?" Zhou Ming asked.

"No, I don't have this kind of thought, Your Majesty! The minister has not married yet, he wants to serve the family wholeheartedly, and use his life's energy to lead the Lucis family to glory, and he has no other thoughts!" Elsa quickly explained, looking very flustered.

"Liing, Your Majesty, she's lying!"

"As a woman, who can resist not marrying? Elsa, you are thirty years old, haven't you ever thought about men?"

"What is the conflict between marrying or not marrying and leading the family to become strong?"

"This is simply an excuse, Your Majesty, don't trust this woman! In private, this woman has wanted to lie on His Majesty's bed countless times!"

Hear these nasty words.

Elsa was about to cry: "No, I really don't!"

"Your Majesty, you see her so flustered and nervous, she is definitely lying!"

"Don't deny Elsa anymore, if you don't like Your Majesty, I'll chop off your head!"

"Hmph, you cheap woman, if you don't have illusions, how can you win Your Majesty's trust by offending all the ministers and nobles, if you don't have Your Majesty's trust, your Lucis family, not to mention being brilliant again, I'm afraid it would have been destroyed hundreds of times!"

"You must say that you don't think anything wrong, but when you return batch after batch of harem beauties who are more outstanding than you, on the one hand, you are jealous of their youth and beauty, and on the other hand, you are also driving yourself to a dead end, because once you lose the trust of Your Majesty, that is, when the Lucis family is destroyed, you will not dare to marry others, and once you marry, you may also lose Your Majesty's favor...... Therefore, you can only go further and further on the road of obedience to Your Majesty, until you ascend to the throne of the Empress, the Lucis family, and you will be safe and sound!"

"So for you, you either don't marry, or you can only marry Your Majesty, there is no other choice!"

"Am I right, Lord Elsa?"

The minister's analysis and heart-wrenching questions not only made Elsa's face pale and speechless, but Zhou Ming, who was sitting at the top, nodded slightly.

I couldn't help but say, "What Lord Thorndike said seems to have some truth. ”

The ministers were ecstatic.

A minister said excitedly: "Your Majesty, you finally understand, now you should know that this woman Elsa should be killed!"

"Woo woo woo~"

Elsa was about to collapse, she whimpered and cried, and said to Zhou Ming: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, I will die now, and I am absolutely innocent to Your Majesty!"

As she spoke, she was about to hit her head against a certain pillar.

But an invisible force grabbed her and brought her to a halt.

Zhou Ming stopped her.

"Elsa, don't be impulsive yet, I still haven't finished speaking!"

"Your Majesty, just let the ministers kill me, stop defending me!" Elsa was extremely aggrieved and desperate.

"So, Elsa, I'll ask you a few questions, and you answer yes or no, don't hide your feelings in your heart, how about that?" Zhou Ming asked softly.

"Your Majesty, excuse me. Elsa wiped the corners of her eyes.

"First of all, you didn't shirk the return tasks I arranged for you, but completed them all perfectly, is it because you want to win my trust and let me support the Lucis family a lot, so you are willing to take the risk and accept them all?"

"Yes. Elsa nodded, not denying it.

"Secondly, you are thirty years old, and you have not yet married, I told you several times to marry earlier, but you didn't listen, you have been so single, on the one hand, you are dedicated to serving the family and do not want to marry, on the other hand, there are also some factors that make you troubled. Zhou Ming asked again.

"Uh...... Yes!" After a second of hesitation, Elsa nodded yes.

"Finally, I want to ask you, what do you think of me as a person? From the standpoint of an ordinary woman, if you were asked to choose a partner, would you think that my conditions were not bad, would you want to be with me?"

"This ......"

Faced with this question, Elsa hesitated for a longer time, and her face turned red, but she still nodded honestly: "Yes!"

β€œbing~”

Zhou Ming snapped his fingers and said, "That's right, Elsa, the ministers didn't misunderstand you, and I also confirmed: you should like me a little." ”

As soon as these words came out!

The ministers immediately cheered!

"Hahaha, Your Majesty, we're right, Elsa, she just likes you!"

"Your Majesty, Elsa's crime is confirmed, hurry up and kill her!"

"Haha, Elsa, no one can save you now, confess your guilt!"

"Win, we won, Your Majesty is still so wise, you can see through Elsa's true face at once!"

Elsa's face turned pale, her body trembled violently, and her heart was dead.

However!

Zhou Ming's next words instantly plunged the entire hall into a dead silence.

"Why did I kill Elsa?"

"Elsa likes me, and it's not a sin to like me, why did I kill her?"

"On the contrary, in order to protect her innocence, I can only marry Elsa, and I can only make her queen, otherwise how will she meet people in the future? ”

"Elsa is loyal, I can't hurt her to lose her life, I can only marry her, and stop the criticism of the world. ”

Click!

It's as if time has stopped flowing.

The smiles on the faces of all the ministers and nobles suddenly froze on their faces, and some of the ministers' open mouths were stuck there and couldn't be closed.

Elsa, who was originally heartbroken, was completely stunned at the moment.
