Lin Qi looked into the eyes of the Thunder Beast, and the words that the Thunder Beast had just said kept echoing in his ears.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Lei Shou is right.

Since when did he take it for granted that protecting the prince was the job of a goddess?

It seemed that as long as the goddess was around, he would be fine.

How could he think so?

How could he think like that!

Lin Qi's face instantly turned red, his face full of shame.

"I was wrong! Thunder Beast, you're right, I shouldn't have thought like that, I was wrong!"

Thunder Beast looked at Lin Qi with relief, "It's not too late for you to figure it out now.

We are the ones who should protect the prince's safety, and we should also try our best to help the goddess when we can.

If we blindly rely on the goddess and leave everything to her, won’t the goddess be tired?

If one day the goddess gets tired and annoyed, the consequences will be something we cannot bear."

Lin Qi nodded heavily, "I understand! I didn't expect that, Lao Lei, when I look at you, I always feel that your mind is a little too simple.

But now it seems that I was wrong before. Your brain is not that simple, you are still quite smart."

Thunder Beast, "...If you really don't know how to praise others, you don't have to praise them at all."

Lin Qi shook his head, "It's not that I don't know how to praise others, it's just that I don't know how to praise you."

"Just shut up!"

As soon as he entered the court, Censor Zhang stepped out from among the officials and again accused Li Junyan of having secret dealings with the Turks, demanding severe punishment.

Last time, because Li Junyan was not there, many officials remained silent.

But this time, there was a huge uproar in the court.

Everyone expressed their opinions. Some believed in Li Junyan, while others demanded that Li Junyan be punished.

The peaceful Golden Palace became like a vegetable market because of the constant quarreling of the officials.

The emperor sat at the top, watching the officials below quarreling with cold eyes. There was no expression on his face, and he did not speak to stop them.

He looked towards Li Junyan and saw that Li Junyan was standing there straight, with no intention of explaining at all.

Looking at Li Junyan like this, the emperor was a little dazed.

He couldn't remember when Li Junyan started to behave like this.

No matter when, no matter what happens, Li Junyan always looks calm and composed, as if everything is under his control.

What he disliked most was Li Junyan's appearance.

The only one who can have everything under control is him, the emperor!

Li Junyan is both a son and a minister, but he can never figure out his own position.

The officials argued for another quarter of an hour, but still had no result. They could only look to the emperor and wait for his decision.

The emperor glanced at them and then looked at Li Junyan, "Prince Chen, what do you want to say about this matter?"

"I did sign a peace treaty with the Turks."

As soon as Li Junyan said this, the court was in an uproar.

Even the emperor was shocked.

He looked at Li Junyan in astonishment, not understanding why Li Junyan suddenly admitted it.

Doesn't he know what the consequences will be if he admits it?

Censor Zhang didn't think too much about it and directly pursued the victory, "Since the Prince of Chen has admitted it himself, then-"

"Wait." Li Junyan spoke again.

Censor Zhang frowned. "What does the Prince of Chen mean? He just admitted it, is he going to go back on his word now? But so many people have heard it. If the Prince of Chen goes back on his word now, it's probably too late."

Li Junyan glanced at Zhang Yushi with a half-smile, "Who told you that I'm going to regret it?

I have indeed signed a contract with the Turks. Don't you want to see the contents of the contract?"

Censor Zhang stiffened his neck and said, "We've already seen it!"

"That's strange." Li Junyan laughed softly. "The contract was signed under the witness of the goddess and is also kept in her hands. How did you see it? Did the goddess show it to you before?"

All civil and military officials were stunned.

If the contract was in the hands of the goddess, then what did they see before?

For a moment, everyone looked at Censor Zhang.

Censor Zhang was stared at by all the officials, feeling a little anxious, but he still held on, "Who knows if the Prince of Chen is talking nonsense——"

He shut up before he could finish his words.

Because suddenly a pair of hands stretched down from above the hall, holding an unfolded contract, ensuring that everyone present could see it but could not reach it.

They had seen these hands yesterday. They were the hands of the goddess.

The contract contained not only Chinese characters but also Turkic characters, as well as signatures, fingerprints and seals of all members of the Turkic royal family.

With just one glance, they knew the contract was real.
