Not to mention others, even Wang Chen, who had been in the military for twenty years and possessed considerable fighting prowess, was deeply shocked. His ears buzzed, and he even felt a chill down his neck.
His legs went weak and he immediately fell to his knees from one to both knees.
Just as he was about to speak, Yan Miaoling spoke first, "Commander Wang, you are guilty of treason and should be executed. Do you know how to handle this kind of thing next time?"
The voice was so deep that it made Wang Chen sweat. He had finally realized that this princess was no scatterbrained person.

The troublemakers from the other two camps, as well as the small groups of civil servants who were secretly connected with them, all stopped.
