"Your people have been released, you are free, give me the child." Qin Ye stared at him.

Zong Zhengli glanced at the little guy in his arms. His nose was red from crying, which made him look pitiful.

Think this is the end?

He laughed:

"Qin Ye, you don't seem to understand the current situation yet?"

"?"

"What qualifications do you have to bargain with me? The child is in my hands. I have the final say on whether he lives or dies. How can you teach me how to do things?"

“…”

Qin Ye's face suddenly darkened.

It's obvious that he is pushing his luck.

"What else do you want?"

"As for me," he smiled and raised his head, looking at everyone, and also looking at this luxurious palace, this huge imperial palace, and this beautiful Dongling country.

Does he need to restate what he wants?

However, seeing Qin Ye's anxious look, he began to want to tease him, wanting to vent out the resentment he had suffered over the past two days.

Touching the child's face, he said:

"If you want a child, that's fine. But we have to see if King Chen is sincere about it."

After a deep sigh:

"Well, how about you, King Chen, kneel down and kowtow to me three times, and I will return the child to you, how about that?"

Qin Ye was annoyed.

Judging from his character of giving one step back and taking ten steps forward, it was obvious that he was deliberately humiliating Zong Zhengchen.

Even if Zong Zhengchen knelt, he would not return the child.

"Zong Zhengli, is this fun? Prince Chen has never thought of taking your life. He even wanted to arrange for you to stay in the clan residence and treat you well for the rest of your life. But how can you be so vicious!"

If he had any conscience, he shouldn't use innocent children as bargaining chips.

But, how can such an unscrupulous person have a conscience?

"Yes, I am vicious, so what?" He nodded in admission.

“…”

Qin Ye was choked for a moment.

"Qin Ye, this isn't the first day you've known me. Is it surprising that I would do something like this?"

Even she would betray him frequently, so why couldn't he do the same?

"Not only am I going to do this, I want you to watch."

He took the dagger from Qin Jiaojiao's hand, put it on the child's arm, and looked at Zong Zhengchen.

"I will count to three, and you must kneel down. Otherwise, he will bleed."

"Zong Zhengli, don't do anything rash! Don't you want the throne and the world? Take them, but don't target innocent children!" Qin Ye was almost going crazy.

Zong Zhengli smiled as if in the spring breeze:

"one."

He looked at Zong Zhengchen with a smile, which was also forcing him invisibly.

Zong Zhengchen stood where he was, his eyes gloomy to the extreme.

Everyone was anxious, Yunying, Jingyi, Hanfeng, Hanying, the housekeeper, and everyone else:

“Your Majesty…”

Zong Zhengli smiled and raised his lips: "Two."

Qin Ye's eyes turned red, and he was about to rush forward: "Don't hurt him, I will exchange with him!"

Just after running two steps, he saw the dagger in King Li's hand pressed down, and the sharp tip of the knife pierced the child's arm.

Blood flowed out.

"ah!"

Qin Ye's body shook violently, his vision went dark for a second, and he fell to the ground.

"princess!"

"stop!"

"Wow--"

The child felt pain and started crying violently.

"Zong Zhengli, don't you just want to vent your anger? Fine, I'll agree to your request." Zong Zhengchen looked coldly, took a half step back, coldly lifted the hem of his black robe, and knelt heavily on the ground with one knee.

Plop!

A dull sound.

A man’s knees are made of gold, so he should kneel to heaven, to earth, and to his parents.

When the other knee bent, there was a heavy sound, as if a towering mountain collapsed in an instant.

Everyone was shocked:

“Your Majesty…”
