Yuchi Xi looked at Emperor Dewu, whose expression remained normal. He said calmly, "Since you haven't bullied them, then you can't trust what they said before."
"Did they kill you on purpose?"
"It was intentional," the spirit said. "They first stoned me to death, then placed my body on the sharp stones."
"They just wanted to kill me."
“You’re lying!!”
The parents of the two children quickly said, "Impossible!"
“Our children will not intentionally kill anyone!!”
Emperor Dewu was too lazy to waste time talking to them. "He's already dead, why lie to him?"
"Look at your two guilty sons, how can you not understand?"
"Come here, take these two away and execute them at 3:30 PM tomorrow!"
The two children's faces were completely dejected. Their parents staggered in fear and fell to the ground. Their mother knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't just listen to his one-sided story!"
"Just because you love the little princess, you can't trust the people around her!"
Emperor Dewu asked, "Why not?"
Their mother: Huh?
Does this mean you admit that you are a tyrant?
Emperor Dewu looked at her coldly and said, "To prevent your son from missing you too much in the afterlife, you should all be executed together!"
Knowing that his son had committed murder, he still helped to conceal it and gave false testimony. He is not a good person. He should go to the underworld to reflect on himself!
Yuchi Xi:!!!
[Wow!! My dear father, what a wise decision! You are truly worthy of me!! Parents who shield their children from crime should be executed together!!]
The mother of the two children turned pale and said, "No, you can't do this!"
"According to Yuan Dynasty law, if a child under the age of twelve kills someone, it can only be considered manslaughter. You can't execute us! This is against the law!"
Emperor Dewu's face darkened, and the ministers beside him all looked at them with eyes that said "there's no hope for them".
Idiots, you know the law but still break it, that's an even greater crime!
"So, it is through the knowledge of this law that you have confidence."
"Very good."
Emperor Dewu looked at his eunuch and ordered, "The law should be revised. From today on, any child over the age of six who intentionally kills another will be sentenced to death!"
"Children under the age of six will be considered on a case-by-case basis. If the murder was intentional, the death penalty will be imposed. If the murder was caused by excessive self-defense, the death penalty may be waived."
"Age will not be a shield for evil people like you!"
"Yes!" The father-in-law beside him quickly took note.
Those people looked ashen and collapsed to the ground.
None of the ministers dared to speak. The emperor's decision was irresistible and could not be shaken by anyone.
What's more, they felt that there was nothing wrong with the emperor's actions.
Emperor Dewu looked at the parents of the two children and said, "Whoever just spoke disrespectfully to the little princess, take him away and give him thirty lashes."
Ministers: They were still wondering if these people could be disrespectful to the little princess and get away with it? Now it seems that the emperor has remembered it!
Now, the punishment has come.
The man who spoke rudely to Yuchi Xi turned pale, and before he could even beg for mercy, his mouth was blocked and he was dragged away.
Yuchi Xi looked at the deceased and said, "Now, you can rest assured and go to reincarnate."
The deceased knelt down towards Yuchi Xi, but Yuchi Xi supported him and prevented him from kneeling.
His face was filled with gratitude. "Thank you, little princess, for seeking justice for me! My inner demons have been resolved, and I can now be reincarnated."
"I want to say a few words to my parents, is that okay?"
Yuchi Xi naturally agreed.
The young boy looked at his parents behind him and said, "Dad and Mom, I haven't wasted the money you gave me over the years. I hid it under our peach tree. You can dig it out and use it when you get back!"
"I've been in a daze these days. Although I can't completely leave my body, I can leave for a short time. I went to see the man my sister loves, and he is not the right person for her. Dad and Mom, please persuade her not to go to his house and suffer."
"My neighbor Bozi likes me, he really does. He's a really nice person too. Mom and Dad, please let him spend more time with me. If that happens, it will be a wonderful thing."
Children from poor families have to grow up early, and they understand many things even if their parents don’t tell them.
Recently, my parents have been worried about my sister's marriage, and they have been thinking about this matter even after his death.
"Mom and Dad, please take good care of yourselves. Please give my regards to my sister. I hope both my sister and you can be happy."
He smiled at his tearful parents and said to Yuchi Xi, "Your Highness, Little Princess, I'm fine!"
Yuchi Xi nodded and stamped his feet. Then a ghost came up from below, saluted Yuchi Xi respectfully, helped him put on the soul-locking chain, and took him away.
"My son—"
His mother wailed and fainted.
Yuchi Xi asked Jing Huaian to call An Wanfeng over. Fortunately, she was not seriously injured, but just fainted from excessive sadness.
Yuchi Xi looked at the ministers, and they immediately looked up at the beams, or looked down at the ground, with an expression of "we know nothing, we didn't see anything" on their faces.
Emperor Dewu said ruthlessly, "Xi'er, don't worry. If they dare to tell anyone about this, I will investigate and punish all of their clans!"
Ministers:!!!
There's no need to be so cruel, Your Majesty!
"Okay!" Yuchi Xi chuckled, but didn't unlock their Sky Eyes. "The Sky Eye's effects will disappear in another hour."
"It's a good experience after all, you should enjoy it!"
